The Ku-Klux Klan appears to be

membership of certain church
organizations. Aunt Prudence
Hecklebury, MS we announced the
other day, Is thinking of joining the
Klan, ii they will take her in.
Perhaps there is a Klansladies' Aid
Society that Aunt Prudence can join.
One trouble with regard to Aunt
Prudence in this country is that she
has never been thought of before as

about changing from a two7shift to

celebrated Gary dinner to the steel
industry at the White House, be-
cause of President Harding's sug-
gestion that it would be a nice thing
to do. Is it all talk? What are the
facts?
If the change is made it will be
because the steel manufacturers are
convinced that 1t is good business to
do SO or because an organization Of
workmen force the change.
In Europe the trade unions forced
the manufacturers to establish the
three-day shift. The argument re-
garding it's profitableness persists

In the United States most Of the
scientific societies are convinced that
a three-day shift would be better and
the manufacturers that have made
the change are convinced of it, but
because the steel industry is unor-
ganized, the two-day shift and the
twelve-hour day still prevail.
There are enough Bourbon mind
ed men in control of the steel indus
try to prevent action on q program
which extends any benefits to the
workmen.
A twelve-hour day destroys a
mans initiative and efficiency. ac-
cording to the engineers, but the
point of view of some employers Is
that it also "keeps the laborer down
where he belongs" The point Of view
determines whether this is a vicious
or an ideal system.
Mr.. Gary's statement that IA per
cent of the employees Of the U. S.
Steel Corporation are employed IL

discussion of the two-day shift in
the steel industry because the IA
per cent does not apply to the steel

After twenty-five years OF hesitation
the French courts are about to decide
whether the novels of Alexandra
Dumas pere shall also bear the sigma
ture of his collaboration, August Ma
auet, who according to critics. really
was the genius behind the fame of
Dumas.
Maauet is now known to have pro-
vided the major part of the material
for 'oThe Three Musketeers," "Twen-
ty Years After" and ''The Count Of
Monte Cristo" but when he needed
funds he agreed to relinquish his au-
thor's rights to Dumas for less than
10000 francs. The heirs of both
writer's agree that the money never
was paid. but under the laws of 1866
Maquet's descendants are entitled to
a share of the proceeds. This con-
tention has been contested legally
every few years, and now the heirs
have decided to accept a final decision
and wipe the suit off the records.
NJ. Maillard. noted specialist in
literary laws who is defending the
Dumas heirs. says that the document
signed by Maquet made void forever
the claims of the Maquet heirs even il
the financial agreement betWeeff Ma
quet and Dumas was never carried out.

An impressive ceremony will mark the
presentation of church bell next Sun
day to the village of Landicourt-sous-
Coucy in memory of Alan Seeger, the
American poet who died fighting for
France. The bell is offered by the Poe
try Society OF America, which will also
present a similar memorial bearing the
name of Joyce Kilmer to a neighboring
village.
The idea of such presentation origi-
mated with the American Committee for
Devastated France. which has sponsored
thirty such gifts. among the names
honored being that of Guynemer Ger
main Foch, son of Marshal Foch.
The memory of Victor Chapman is
similarly honored at Vic-sur-Aisne and
Oliver Cunningham at Thiaucourt. while
the bell at Bony is in remembrance Of
the 106th Regiment, A. f. F., and bears
the legend: I'm memory of James
White, American poet. Each stroke
upon this bell shall be prayer"
The committee intends to continue its
efforts until every church in the region
where American troops fought has its
American memorial bell.

bells in the little church on the Vesle

London, May go.
Aristocratic Henley, the English
oarsman's annual fixture. is greatly
embarrassed by the necessity of max
ing an important decision between
sportsmanship and ancient tradition.
1t must define the requisite social
caste of oarsmen as affecting empire
relations of the first consideration.
The issue was brought up by the
cabled demand of the champion Mel
bourne eight if their amateur status
will be recognized. The crew includes
locomotive fireman and driver, a
filter, carpenter. a clerk and the
skipper of steamship. All are anna
teurs under the Amateur Athletic
Union rules, but the rules of Henley,
which always have been considered a
preserve of the socially prominent
classes, are quite different.
Henley defines an amateur as one who
has never 'rowed or Steered in any race
;or stake or money; knowingly competed
against a professional for any prize;
taught or assisted at athletic exercises
for profit; been employed in any boats
in any manual labor for wages; by
trade or employment for wages been a
mechanic, artisan or laborer. or engaged
IN menial duty"
Henley stewards declare the question
Is one Of muscles, not snobbery. They
say the rule was not dictated by any
snobbish feeling. but because man who
earns his living by muscle is presumed
to be filter than an ordinary amateur.
The feeling among the foremost amateur
rowing clubs is that If the rule Is re-
laxed in favor of the Australian team IT
will be but the beginning Of the end of
the present exclusive status OF the clas-
sic regattas.
"Bossy" Phelps. professionally con-
pected with the Leanderl and Varsity
clubs and one of the best known figures
in rowing circles on the Thames. says
II hope the rules will never be broken
down. If a man is a working man ne
is absolutely excluded. Take clerk In
an office, who is sitting all day. and
then take blacksmith. who uses his
muscles all day-who is the filter man q
On the other hand. a prominent Off
cial Of Australia House said he hoped
the Melbourne oarsmen would be allowed
to compete. "You must remember" he
said, "that the manual worker in Aus
tralia is rightly regarded as being quite
as good as and the social equal of any
body else Our regatta on the Yarra
Yarra attracts enormous crowds and is
patronized by all classes, from the Gov
ernor-General down. If the people who
are the backbone of the Commonwealth
should be barred here for social rea-
son the effect upon Australian public
opinion is bound to be bad"
The Henley stewards report they are
giving the application every consldera-
ton. but have stated that they feel
bound by the rules.
