The death of the little daugh-
ter of Philip D Armour III brings
to every heart a thrill of SYM
pathy because the loss of those
we love is a common experience
of mankind. But it also shows
that this is not so unequal a
world as we sometimes think, IN
our bitterness, that it is. Money
is not the price of a life in the
eternal scales. 1t is a great COM
fort to have money enough so
that everything possible can be
procured to cure our sick; but,
employing all the remedial agen-
cies which money can summon,
money will not win the game.
Ten doctors, an army of nurses,
the city police to keep the en-
virons of the home perfectly
quiet, yet death came to the
little sufferer. Those of us who
cannot bring such an array of
aids to the bedside of our dying
are strengthened in our sorrow
to know that there is no agency
for the warding off of death. 1t
puts us on level where only
love and service count and the
poorest, the well-to-do and the
rich can all bring love and ser
vice to minister to our families
and our friends. Again we realize
that money cannot purchase the
greatest things of life-content-
ment, health and unselfish devo-
ton.
The president of Goucher Col
lege makes the suggestion that
more married women should be
employed as teachers on the plea
that the school should be more
of a family" school. The presi-
dent further says that happily
married women, who are mothers
make the best teachers providing
they have the educational quail
fications. This likely is true but
the happily married woman with
children has a full-sized job max
ing home for her own family
and usually elects to make this
her main business in life, until
the children are beyond the
school age.

There is a report that wine, two
thousand years old, has been
found in the cellar at Basco
Reale, near Pompeii. The wine
is in convenient form, being a
solid, but it is none the worse for
its age. If it has lost its frag-
rance as we'll as it's moisture, it
ought to be very hard to detect
in a mans pocket.
The world must be growing
better for the dean of Brown
University says that the under
graduate in college today is a
better man than was the student
of twenty-five years ago. He is
more amenable to discipline, has
keener interest in education, a
larger capacity for work and
higher sense of integrity. This
is pretty clean bill for the
present-day college boy.
Henry Ford says some wise
and foolish things. He is wise
in saying that board of direct
ors will function fairly well if it
has one strong man and four
weak ones, for the strong man
will control; but a board with
five strong men will never do
anything for they won't agree

It's a bad year for kings. Ex-
Emperor Karl is critically i'll in
Funchal, Madeira, the former
court physician is rushing to his
side. Ten years ago all Europe
would be watching at his bed
side and specializing on his sue
cessor in the event of his death.
Now it is a private matter.
The Senate seems to be in ac-
cord on limiting the navy and re-
stricting the use of poison gas
and the submarine. Submarine
and gas warfare are neither one
popular with the general public,
both being blows below the belt
in the popular Imagination.
Lenine is reported dead again.
He has nearly as many lives as
cat and he surely comes back.
