Fantasies


By BERTON BRALEY
7 STILL believe in Santa Claus.
l still believe in fairies:
l hold my faith in them because.
Unless Illusion tarries,
There is no fun in life at all.
No use in work or strife at all,
No sense in any scheping.
There isn't any doubt of IL,
We might as well be out OF IL.
If robbed of all our dreaming.
I still believe a pot of gold
rs at the ratnbOus ending:
Which, by adventure brave and bold
I may in time be spending
And though the cynics jeer at mo
And all the pedants sneer at me
And all the facts confound me:
The gold is there. I'm sure of 1t,
And evermore the lure of il
VIII bind, as IL has bound mel
Oh, bleak. indeed is life for those
Who have no rosy visions:
Who live within world of prose,
OF facts and grim precisions.
The silly dreams I've kept from youth
Are nearer to the living truth
Than all their ull-eyed care Is;
laugh. and fout their dreary laws,
I still believe in Santa Claus.

Our Far AWAY Neighbors

DR.. j. S. Plaskett, director of the
Canadian Observatory, at Victoria,
B, c., has recently discovered Twin"
suns that are So quadrillion miles
away. That is an incomprehensible
distance. They are 559,000,000 times
as far away from our earth than is
our sun, which is 93,000,000 mile,
from US. A flying machine, travel
ing at the rate of one mile per
minute, would require $4,000, ,O00,-
900 years to cover the distance. This
would allow no stops for meals OF
repairs. Light, travelling at the rate
of 10000 miles per second, would
require more than 5000 years for its
passage. Here is something with
which scientists and philosophers
may cudgel their brains.
The Twin" suns are of a temper
ature of 10000 degrees. One of them
lis $4,000 times as bright as our sun
and the other is 10000 times as
bright. When one considers the i'm
mensity of these suns and their dis
tance from us, it makes mans i'm
portance in the universe shrink al
most to insignifcance; yet the hu-
man brain, with which each of us
is endowed, is more wonderful than
these great suns.

Bribing Police Officers

Police officers probably have more
chances to make moneySth than people
realize. This is particularly the case
in these times of automobile speed
ing. The conviction exists among
some of these scorchers that if any
Police officer notices their reckless
driving, and calls them down, they
can settle the little matter on the
spot by handing oar a suitably sized
bill.
That little game may have work
ed in some places, but in most cities
it would be a dangerous one to play
Police officers usually feel proud of
their job and its responsibilities, and
mere money is not very satisfactory
for the loss of self respect.
Motorists who attempt to bribe a
policeman should be given very
stiff fine, as they have committed an
offence far worse than ordinary
reckless operation. Their fast driv'
ing imperils the safety of the pub

SCHOOL MEN SHIFTED
More Frequently Than Methodist
Preachers Are.

Des Moines, Iowa--ln a recent
survey of $40 city, town, and con-
Solidated schools of our own state,
made by the Iowa State Teachers
Association, some interesting facts
have been discovered. Among this
number but 40, or less than 6 per
cent, have had no change of super
intendency in the past five years.
Only 149, or 22.3 per cent, have hac
but one change in the five years.
The number having two changes in
five years out Of the total of $40 is
204 or 80 per cent, while 1S4, or
27.5 per cent, have had three changes
in the position of superintendent
during the five year period.
The results disclose the fact, too,
that the frequency of changes in the
position of superintendent is increas-
ing rather than diminishing. among
the 670 schools tabulated there were
in the year 1917-18, 245 changes. In
the year, 1922, among these same
schools, there were 304 changes. In
dications are that in the year 1877
%, there will be found still a larger
number of changes in these same
schools. While we would expect de-
velopment in the profession OF SUI
perintendency of schools to be get
ting on a more permanent basis, IN
dications shown by these figures
seem to be the opposite.
Another fact the survey discloses
is that larger cities have more sta
bility in the position of superin-
tendent than the smaller district. In
the list of 670 schools the cities OF
over 10000 population, of which there
are eighteen, have had a total num-
ber of sixteen changes in the hve-
year period, being 80 per cent, OF
17.S per cent each year. Cities from
5000 to 10000 population indicate
l11O per cent of changes, or 22 pei
cent each year. Cities between 2,O0o
and 5000 population show 1l9 pei
cent changes in the fve-year period
or an average of 23.8 per cent each
year. Towns ranging from 1000 to
1000 population indicate 1876 pei
lcent on the whole, or an average OF
1872 per cent per year. Towns OF

We Get Things Tangled oftentime.

Waverly Democrat:-How much
mental anguish we could spare our
selves if we had the ability always
to look at the bright side of things,
and how much injustice in our judg-

we always understood the motives

You meet a friend on the street
and offer a friendly greeting. He
seems to look you squarely in the
eye but does not return the greet
ing. At another time a good ac-
quaintance crosses the street when
he sees you coming or deliberately
looks the other way, apparently to
avoid you. Immediately you feel the
pang of having been snubbed. You
are miserable for days and wonder
what you may have done to deserve
such treatment. If you had the facts
you would know that your, friend
was deeply engrossed In thought,
perhaps he was trying to untangle
some business or household problem
or was himself worrying about some
imaginary grievance and therefore
was not conscious of seeing you.
A cutting, insinuating remark may
hurt your innermost feelings, and
yet it was not meant to be unkind
The one who made it may have been
i'll and irritable, or tired or run
down and nervous from overwork
and worry and, therefore, not res
ponsible for what he said.
At another time you address a
remark or a question to person
who apparently ignores you entirely.
If he is a good friend you feel hurt

a casual acquaintance or a stranger
you think, "the big stiff, and silent

Molokai wouldn't play Maui a game

least it is to be judged so, for when

can-Chinese team wired to the Lonely
Island asking for the game, the answer
came back short and snappy. In fact
it consisted of just one little word OF
two letters. NO" And the wireless
agent at Lahaina added Collect one
dollar"
But regardless there are two teams.
now, instead OF one, and the trip will
be made if the Makaiwa stays afloat
as long as A a. m, Saturday morning.
The Honorable Sam f. Kalama, it is
said, will maneuyer the right wing and
Engle will captain the left. Twenty
sturdy ball players and business men
will board the Makaiwa tomorrow
morning at four o'clock and sail will
be set for Molokai. Fishing and feed
ing fish will occupy the four hours to
be s~quandered ere the Makaiwa hoves
to at Kamalo. Then let joy be I'M
refined.
On Kalama's team will be a. Pas
choal, Scholtz, Haole, Peter Souza,

If Molokai puts up a team following
the arrival of the Mauiites the inter

battle. A Garcia will accompany the
players and act in the official capacity

S~40,OO0,OOO Dollars
Depends Upon Sex OF
Baby Expected Soon

PARIS-(Associated Press Mail)-
Princess Kenia OF Greece, neice of
King Constantine and wife of William
Leeds, Jr., is at present in Paris with
her husband, expecting an addition to
the family. If a boy is born to the
Princess, he will inherit the entire
$40, 900 900 fortune of the late William
Leeds, the American tinplace king.
The Leeds will provides that if there
is no male issue, the whole sum shall
go to the New York Lying-In Hospital
The $4,000, 900 is now in the form
Of a trust fund, the interest on which
is drawn by Princess Christopher
formerly Mrs. William Leeds). Upon
the death of the American Princess
the interest will revert TO her son, hus
band of Princess Xenia. In the event
of his death or that of his wife, the
fortune will 20 to a male heir, if there
be one, as the American law pro Jides
that a trust fund shall cease with the
third generation.
Young Leeds and his wife are living
with Prince and Princess Christopher
at a fashionable hotel in Paris. Prin-
cess Christopher's allowance to them
enables them to entertain lavishly.
The youthful couple spend o of
their time automobiling, yachting and
airplaning. They will accompany the
princess on her visit to the United
States this autumn.
Much criticism is said to have arisen
in Greece oven the continued absence
of Prince Christopher, who is King
Constantine's youngest brother. All
his brothers and nephews are serving
their country or the army in some
capacity, while Christopher is alleged
to be living q life Incidence and pleas
ure in Paris on the gold of his affluent
American wife. It has not yet been
decided whether he will accompany
her to America, as some misgivings
apparently are felt as to the cOrdiality
of his welcome there. So far the
prince has not yet even visited Eng
land because of the known prejudice
Of the British against his brother Con
stantine.
Mrs. Leeds was married to Prince
Christopher in January of 1920 in
Switzerland. Her son married Prin-
cess Xenia in Paris last October.
