AS a great leyeler it has democ-
racy itself beaten.
Then there is the common street
casualty OF the victim who miscalcu-
lates the approach of a motor vehicle.
That is becoming almost too common
for the ordinary phase Of the Curl
0sity of the streets.
Still 1t has its morbid attraction.
The grewsome has horrible fasci-
nation for most--so no matter il the
poor victim is pulverized to a pulp
there are those who battle TO have
a look, even if it bowls them over.
And they rush in like currents OF air
in a simeon. It's the thing of the
hour.
Nothing else has any place in the

man or the woman in the street. That
spot Is a million-ampere electro
magnet. They are glued to it.

The Story Of an Engagement Ring

The second wife of Thomas Nelson
Page, a refined, cultured woman,
reared" to quote him, among beau
tiful pictures and tho best books
cherished always the sweetest feel
ings for her predecessor. During
visit to Mrs Seldom Bruce she asked
to be carried TO her grave in Holly
wood, on the outskirts of Richmond,
and as she looked down upon it, she
exclaimed: TO think Of my taking
the place Of this lovely young crea-
tureI"
The modest stone marking the spot
is symbolic OF the authors circum-
stances during those early years OF
struggle, but the inscription-"In
Memory of an Angel" followed by Il
thank my God on every remembrance
of you" makes of it a testimonial
too high to be exchanged for the
Hottest monument

The policeman waves the majesty

the boy rushes in where never a boy
fears to tread and the fashionable
gentleman with the cane is uncon-
scious of the loss OF his hat in the
scramble for a glimpse of the victim.
The victim alone, tragic or other
wise, is the only being in that jostling
horde who feels no prick of curiosity.

TN Sweden the telephone system is

GERMANY AND THE TEDDY BEAR

WORD comes from Berlin that the Ger.
w man woman who invented rhe Teddy
Bear has just celebrated the seventy. fifth
anniversary Of her birth
She was Il representative Of the Germany
which once commanded the admiration Of
the people Of other nations. She was tender
hearted and sentimental.
She used to amuse herself by making little
elephants of cloth, which she gave to her
friends to be used as pincushions. Her
brother, with a commercial instinct, per-
suaded her to make a lot of cloth elephants.
which he sold in the neighboring town. Then
she was induced to make more of them for
sale. The market for them led her to make
other animals and finally she made n little
bear out of fuzzy plush. She stitched
smile on its mouth and sewed beads on for
eyes, with no thought that she could ever
sell It.
She made the toy for the pleasure 1t gave
her. Ift an American saw 1t and he gave

The police plan which he advocates Is a

DISTANT CAlAMlTIES

TRY as one may, it is difficult on this side
i of the world TO realize the horror
wrought by the typhoon at Swatow. in
China where 5000 lives w"r" destroyed by
the storm. This is ne-haIf the population
of the city.
The JohnstOwn food seems more terrible
to us because JohnStown is in this State
and because the people who were drowned
belonged TO the same race.
Those killed in Swatow were Chinese.
They spoke a different language and they
ate different food and dressed differently
and believed in a different religion.
But the SwatOw calamity means more TO
us today than it would have meant seventy
five years ago, for the reason that the four
corners of the world have been drawn more
closely together. We say now that the
Chinese is man and brother, but the
time may come when We will not have to
say it, but will take it as matter Of course
and govern ourselves accordingly.

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING

TNHE sum of $50. 600 pledged to tn" fair
L in equal parts by John Wunamaker and
Rodman WanGmakcr is an earnest Of prac-
tical and constructive interest in the UNDER
taking.
The significance of this gift is mere than
can be measured in precise financial terms.
II marks the breakdown OF II ditfidcnrc
which has embarrassed the exposition prof.
ect and caused it 10 appear more as
grandioSc dream than aS an enterprise
grounded in convincing realities.
PhiladClnhans who desire that a splendid
fair should be held cannot consistently
afford to indulge in mere roscatc visions Of
its possibilities. There vas a magnificent
response Of private generosity for the Cen
tennnl. 4 similar manifestation Of fnan
cial CO. operation is necessary to the sue
cess of its historical descendant.
The exposition cannot br conducted with
out money and not all of thiS can be sup
piled by Council. tn" Legislature at llar-
risburg or Congress. The initiative of the
Wanamakcrs is stimulating and worthy Of
extensive imitation.
Much has been heard Of tn" need for en-
thuSiasm for the project Al the present
time this can be best expressed in voluntary
contributions. The most expert direction of
the fair organization will be futile without
the requisite financial backing.
The ball has begun to roll. It Should not
be halted until it is as big as our ambitions.

corroboration bf their views in the most
recent yearly report of the Shipping Board
Sea Service Bureau.
1t is recorded in this analysis of condi-
tonS that an increase of more than % per
cent in tho employment of American citi-
zens on United States vessels took place
within the twelve months ending June 80,
1922.
The general order giving certain prefer
enCc to American employees on ships was
perhaps partly responsible for this marked
change. but much of 1t was doubtless due
to the expansion and sturdy growth of op-
portunities in the merchant marine. 'rhr

men. also improvCd,' asserts the bureau.
This is reflected by reduction of accidents,
greater economy and general higher eti-

The contention that American maritime
prestige was an ideal impossible of attain
ment was Il favorite with backwOOds Con-
grcssmen in the years of depression in our
own sea borne commerce that followed the
dPpredations on the merchantmen Of the
North by the rowing cruisers and privatecrs
