William AthertOn Du Puy-

Associate Justice william r. Day, Of the
Supreme Court of the United States. sometimes
introduces amusing story into the solemn
precincts Of that we.ghty delberatve body.
There was this one, for example OF the lawyer
who kept Directing to his witness answering a
certain question:
Where were you between and $3.50 on the
morning Of the 14th of January" asked the
prosecuting attorney
II objectw interjected the lawyer for the
defense.
Let him ask mer' cried the witness excitedly
They wrangled awhile the relevancy OF
the question and the case droned on. Presently
the prosecution got back to that same question:
and the defense objected.
LET him ask me! Let him ask met cried the
witness wildly.
Finally the 9 to $50 question appeared for
the third time, and was objected to- Where
upon the witness went into frenzy in his mss
tence that he he allowed to answer.
The court stepped into the breach and ruled
that the question was material.

morning of January ZAP" said the prosecutor.

Joseph Heirgesheimer, of West Chester, Pa
who writes so many fiction stories for the maya
zines, describes the manner of training by which
he came to success in that field of endeavor:
It seems that a lad. he won few scholastic
honors: in fact, he was quite given to the orac-
tice of flunking. Finally his family gave him
up as hopeless, handed him the portion of patri-
mony which his due and said good-by.
Young Joseph found himself possessed of
$1,000. He did not believe that there was such
a place as Venice with water streets; he
went But there it was sure enough.
So he hired himself gondola and a gondolier,
dressing the latter all up in distinctive livery,
and stayed right there until he had bought
$1,000 worth of being thus waterchauffeured

Boz Scout Week.

HIS week the Boy Scouts of
America will celebrate their
4 twelfth anniversary. They
are a healthy, happy, hopeful
bunch of 403,102 youngsters,
aided by 1851 scout masters and
more than $4,000 other grown-ups.
And they are being taught fine
lessons in service, manliness,
courage, patriotism and courtesy.
How could they be otherwise
when each takes this oath:
On my honor I will do my
best:
(D TO do my duty to God
and my country, and obey the
Scout law.
(2) To help other people at
all times.
'(3) To keep myself physical
ly strong, mentally awake and
morally straight.
Keeping the Scout law means to
be trustworthy, loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, obedi-
ent, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean
and reverent.
If grown-ups kept such a law
only imperfectly, but tried as
hard to be 100 per centers as most
Scouts try, this would be a
mighty good world.
Good luck, then, to these alert
young Americans. May their
tribe increase.

The Choirs of Spring
BY Angela Morgan

TN all the spring there is no sweeter stir
Than waking green Of larch and juniper,
Nor is there lovelier music anywhere
Than when the birches hang electric halos in
the air
March blows the doors of earth's cathedral wide,
And brings her supplied choirs of singing rain,
That patient multitudes may surge inside
Out Of the winters pain.
Springs incandescence makes the meadows
brightt
With lamps enough to keep earth's affairs white;
And the cold penitence Of February sod
Is swung by April's censers up to God

A navy smaller than the navy
with which it may have to con-
tend is little better, and might
prove actually worse, than no
navy at all. When superiority is
once conceded to the opposition as
a matter of policy it is useless to
keep up a transparent pretense
of strength.
If we deliberately decide to go
out of the navy business and to
leave command Of the sea to
Britain and Japan; if it is the
intent of our people to make our
navy inferior to others, then why
have one at all? A few harbor
police craft would serve all minor
needs.
We should either be wholly
ready for self-defense, owing no
odds to others, or we should adopt
the contrary policy and rely
wholly upon good will.
To combine little defense with
a little credulity in the fair

There is no safe middle ground.
Our country may lead forward or
lead backward, but it cannot
travel both ways at once.
1t is possible that had we pro-
posed real disarmament, we might
have so inspired the imagination
of war-weary mankind as to incite
general imitation. The facts of
history, the tendency of human
nature, are against it, but at least
it would have the merit of maj
esty; it would not have been the
act of a piker.
But to do a little disarming
hesitantly, not enough to count
for moral effect, hardly enough to
count as an economy, only enough
to advertise our weakness and
emphasize our lack of practical
sense, seems futile.

Limits of
Patriotism,

ii
triot would admit that he is
therefore scoundrel.
And yet the learned English
man, DIR. Samuel johnson, is fire.
quently quoted to the effect that
patriotism is the last refuge Of a
scoundrel.
That statement is often cited,
illogicaHy, by internationalists.
Of course, it neither means that
all scoundrels are patriots nor
that all patriots are scoundrels.
Simply, it suggests the misuse
Of patriotism as d cloak to hide
sinister motive and vicious per
Torrance. As, for instance, the
loud-mouthed profession of pa
triotic purpose on the part Of the
scoundrelly dollar a year man,
later proven a soulless profiteer.
Lately the well-known British
publicist, H. G.. Wells, launched
an attack against patriotism. He
claims that, far from it being a
virtue, it is so great an evil as
to menace existing civilization.
To be sure, the late stupid and
colossal conflict is easily recogniz-
able, from this angle, as the in
evitable outcome of militant and
combative nationalism.
Doubtless, too, one of the most
mischievous results of that nearly
suicidal war is the multiplication
of new nations and the resurrec-
ton of long-buried ones. These
are just so many added incentives
to further envy, greed, conspiracy
and more war.
Therefore a humanitarian like
Wells proposes a United States
of Mankind! Not a league Of ma
tons, but the organization of the
world of men as one.
A splendid dream, worthy of
realization, and perhaps to be
achieved-some day!
One needs to know but little of
history or of human nature to be
aware of the fact of social evolu-
ton. In a sense, the story of the
race can be symbolized by a
spiral, with the individual at the
center, swinging outward so as to
include increasing numbers and
larger groups within our ken and
our sympathy.
Start the swing, and see where
it must end. One and one, the
Family, the Clan, the Tribe, the
State, the Nation-Mankind!
Unnumbered ages are, however,
involved in each swing of the
spiral!
You see, then, patriotism can
not possibly be the last word.
Social development cannot go on
through countless ages, showing
the progress of the inclusive
tendency, and come to a sudden
stop with the nation.
But we are not yet ripe even
for internationalism. Such was
the discernment Of our United
States, as registered in the last
election. And yet, there is no ma
ton except ours that is not en-
gagged in self-seeking. You can
not league such nations into an
association that shall have any
lasting significance.
Therefore, it is safe to say that
the slow social evolution of the
race has reached only land for
generations will not pass beyond)
the nationalistic phase.
Nevertheless, the generations
must gradually be educated
toward internationalism and world
organization.
