Autmmlnal symphony of style.
Long, graceful lin2es-rOW am essential
feature of the fashionable silhouette
contribute mlslch to the classic
beauty of these handsome outergar-
rnents, among which are many inn
ported models. The materials are
soft-surfaced and supple; the Innings
reveal subdued elegance which has
nothing whatever inn common with
the f1amlboyant effects that prevailed
season or two ago. Many of the
models are er1lbellished with luxurious
frrs; bsat there are nrHany more that
are finished without, affording am
opportunity for the use of a favorite
fur scarf or chOker.
Goats and wraps designed especially
for large figures, but closely following
the general dictates off Fashion, are
feature of unusual interest.

SANCTUARY
(By Aline Kilmerl

(By Aline Knmer)
God has buiIded House with a low
Intel,
And in it He has put all manner Of
things.
Follow the clue through the mazes
that lead to His door,
Look in Look in! See what is there
for our finding.
Peace is there like pearl, and rest
and the end Of seeking;
Light is there and refreShment. But
there shall be more:
There we shall find for our use wide,
beautiful wings,
Ecstasy, solitude, space; and for those
who have been too lonely,
The love of friends, the warmth of a
homely fire.
Oh, never grieve again for the piteous
ending
Of loneliness that could not be made
to last:
There all bright passing beauty is
held forever
Free from the sense of tears-to be
loved without regret.
There we shall find at their source
music and love and laughter,
Color and subtle fragrance and soft
incredible textures.
Be sure we shall find what our weary
hearts desire:
If we are tired of light, there shall be
velvet darkness
Falling over long fields, with stars,
and a low voice calling,
Calling at last the word we thought
would never be spoken.
But we, being hard and foolish and
proud and mortal,
Are slow to bend ard enter that
humble portal

THE COMING GENERATION

Luciep Cary, former instructor OF
english at Wabash College, has just
completed a comprehensive study OF
the modern college life to find out
what has brought about the changes
in it and what part the sO-called flap
per has played in the evolution. Writ
ing in the coming issue Of McCalPs, he
says in part:
"The present younger generation is
the most startling thing that has hap
pened to these United States since the
war. Everybody has attacked its
dress. it's manners and its morals for
two wears. But nobody has explained
it,
'The change in the attitude OF the
young people land particularly in the
attitude of the girl of the perlod)
came spontaneously. 1t is still only
partly conscious and almost inartlcu-
late. But it has now reached the pro-
portions of revOlt-a revolt OF &C
tion-against the older generation S
ideals of conduct. And the adult re-
action is still to look aghast while
listening to the latest scandal ABOUT
the young. There is scarcely any at
tempt to understand what the scandal
means.
81 had heard that coeducation had
changed it's sober habit. I had heard
that Young men with heads for busl-
ness no longer worked their way
through college as laundry agents,
that they had found a more profitable
enterprise in bootlegging. | had heard
that young women in college not only
bobbed their hair and rolled their
stockings and smoked cigarettes and
kissed promiscuously and turned up
their insouciant noses at the ideas and
ideals Of their mothers, but that they
drank the stuff that bootleggers sell.
I had heard it from people who
thought they knew and who were not
| in the habit Of lying. But | did not
really believe it. l investigated.
"The thing that has happened, and
is happening, to all the coeducational
| colleges, is not revival of drinking,
but something much more important
with much deeper social conse-
ouences. The coeducational colleges
have ceased, in some cases, to be col
leges for men to which women are
incidentally admitted. Men no longer

| tone of college life as they did. In

girls of the fapper type, set the
tone of college.
"At one university I found that
dates had become public issue. AT
a great mass meeting, goods were ex-
horted to promise that they would not
make a date with, or receive a call
from, candidate for an athletic team
during the athletic season The CO.
eds made this promise,
"What was that but an implicit rec
ognition of the fact that the co-eds
ruled?
"Co-eds already control the social
life of the colleges. The craze Tor

PAYING THE WAR DEBT

A valued contributor is much per-
turbed because The Express thinks
the Germans can settle their In
demnity claims by taxing their peo-
ple. He asks what would people think
if President Harding should propose
to contiscate the private fortunes OF
Rockefeller, Mellon and Ford to pay
off our war debts. Well, to degree
that is being done. The income tax
takes from these men each year many
millions of dollars. If Mr.. Moore
shall make million or two this year,
the government will take about two
thirds of if. But The Express will be
frank enough to say that 1T doesn't
know to a certainty whether Germany
can pay; it knows to a certainty that
she will never pay if she can inspire
a belief among the creditor nations
that she can't. Had Germany con-
uuered the Allies, they would have
paid 1t will be remembered that her
collection methods were admirable.
The German troops assembled the
leading men of a town and announced
that they would be held until certain
large amount was forthcoming. 1t
always came. And we would be pay
ing if the kaiser had won. Germany
is fat and we'll fed; great crowds find
plenty Of money to attend races and
all kinds of amusements; but she says
she can't pay her debts. But she has
wealth; money is only a measure OF
value, an expression of amount; she
has lands, houses, mines, factories,
plant equipment-and if tho world is
not too pig-headed to take goods and
services Germany can pay It is just
a question of Germany paying or the
other peoples paying for her. Money
is small thing in the wealth of the
world, but if America owed $20,000,-
100000 to a victorious Germany she'd
pay it to the last dollar, in gold, sill
yer. foodstuffs, goods-she'd have to
pay it. Sympathy for Germany is
thing Of the far past. II the Allies
will guard the boundaries the French
will go in and collect, and they will
enjoy doing it.-KnoXville Express.

And they get away with it. Some
times they impose their judgments by

to be voluntary, merely by social

In either case, the phenomenon is
not creditable to American inteli-

MORE CENSORSHIP

The latest censorship scheme bios
SONS out in New York, where the
commissioner Of licenses proposes
that plays objected to be tried by a
jury drawn from an official panel Of
300 composed OF lawyers, churchmen,
teachers, city officials, welfare work
ers, and others.
Any one attending play, on finding
that he or she disapproves Of it, may
hale it before such jury, and If it is
condemned or found not guilty by at
least nnie Of the twelve jurors, man
ayers, actors, authors, and retormers
are pledged to abide by the decision"
OF course all plays are tried by
jury now The present jury is the
public, composed of lawyers, doctors,
teachers, etc, etc. If a play is not
approved by a considerable number
OF these jurors, no pledge is needed
from the producer to abide by the de-
cision. He abides by it, and the Of
Tending play disappears.
This would seem to be the censor
ship which a society of free men and
women would depend upon. An au
tocrat might not find it acceptable.
He might wish to impose his concep-

and devoted to liberty, would natural
ly cherish the right to decide for
themselves, would they not?
In America, it seems, we cherish it
rather feebly. We are always sub
hitting to self-appointed judges of our
conduct, to self-appointed censors of
our entertainment. Under the New
York scheme A goes to the play. He
doesn't think it is good for B. He
calls upon c, who agrees, perhaps. B
is not allowed to decide what is good
for him. He is adult, normal, pre-
sumably in possession of his rights as
law-abidhg, responsible citizen. But
A and G have contrived, under the
guise OF moral concern, to deprive
him of the right of moral judgment.

MARGOT AND THE NEWSPAPERS

Margot Asquith, England's most
talkative woman, recently maze
tour of this country end her impress
sions are now being published in sew
eral of the leading newspapers. Mar
got came here with but hazy views OF
the country and its customs, and
many of her writer impressions
sound as if they had been composed
in close proximity to bottle Oh
Scotch whisky. She chatters like a
maybe in mating season, and some
of her comments are not at all com
plimentary to her supposed intelll-
gence. But when she paid her re-
spects to the big American news
papers she more than met the occasion
and her scathing arraignment must
have gone clear through the toughest
hide Of the toughest mental that pros
titutes a noble calling for the sake OF
dimes and dollars.
Let Margot say all possible things
in depreciation Of the metropolitan
newspapers of this country, multiply
this by ten, and the whip is still too
light to apply the castigation the ras-
cally journalists deserve. The aver
age American newspaper in the 'arg-
er cities is as lacking in ideals and
ethics as a masked bank robber or
highwayman It's policies are those
of the pirate, and the meWling and
sicl1ly drivel it distributes under the
name of news" would constitute. a
drastic emetic for bull whale. Scary
headlines of murder and divorce
scandals, while the run of intolerable
rot on sexual prostitutes it character
ICES as a romance, and the dirty
tale is dressed up in all the splendor
and attractiveness that the devil
could suggest as a means to insure a
larger harvest of its degenerates. 1t
never attempts to lead the public; it
follows it as a coffee-boiler would
follow an army, concerned only in
finding a ready market for its product.
The editorial pages of the big news
papers are all presided over by Mr..
Tom E. Rott who was born without
even the spark of conscience, and
who acquired a brand of reasoning
the end and aim of which is to con-
form to a line o. conduct as void of
morals as that of Iago when he urged
Roderigo to 'put money in thy purse"
Who are the great journalists in

Inc days OF LANA, GOuhlH, Ireely, anu
Watterson are no more, and one
might paraphrase Edmund Burke by
saying: The age of journalism has
passed away and that Of pimps, pros
titutes and pretenders has succeeded.
The little weekly represents all that
is left of the Journalism worthy of
the name, and even in this limited
field the signs Of decay are not in
frequent, allowing that the moral
gangrene is gradually extending to
lower levels. Public taste alone can

MAKING Up STRIKE LOSSES

An Iowa coal man named Havner
blandly admits that operators Will
have to charge more for coal in order
to make up strike losses. This IS
fine system. When { business man
has a fire he can put the losses on his

customers. Farmers losing on slumps
can add the loss on the next years
crop, making the public pay it. Mill
ners who have a bad season can
double the price of hats. Newspapers
going behind can charge So a year.

away with it. He has fine head Tor

they can soon figure the loss out and

REAL CAUSE FOR ~CRTNIE WAyE'

REAL CAUSE FOR "CRTNIE WAVE"
The state of mind and morals which
can bring twelve men to deliberately
cancel their obligations of citizenship
and forget or ignore the sacredness OF
their oaths in order to protect boot
logger from consequences OF his I'M
denied guilt is hard to understand.
Yet, whiskey friendship is a pecul-
lar thing. 1t brings men to perjure
themselves in defense of criminals,
induces jurymen to prove false to
their oaths. If nothing more were 10
be said or known Of the degenerative
influence of booze that alone should
be sufficient.
Yet what distinct difference exists
between the man who cultivates and
pays the bootlegger and the bootleg
ger himself; what elemental differ
ences are between the man who pro-
cures the violation Of law, the man
who breaks it for the procurer's pay,
and the jury that falls low enough in
the scale of personal responsibility to
defend both at the expense of honor
and civic decency?
When we seek a reason for the
crime wave we may turn from the
canting explanation that "the war did
it, and find most of it in the utter
contempt that many men of more or
less prominence display for the laws.
