Jews have done to build up in
dustry and prosperity in this
country, and he would like them
To do the same, in Ireland.
Duplication on a smaller scale
Of New York's Fifth avenue or
Chicago's State street would

I'm. There are plenty of Jews
In Eastern Russia that would
do the work with a little en-
couragement. They know how,
! understand both production and
distribution. and they WORK.

or so he thought. Read Miss
klngley's interesting book on
Africa. A witch doctor told the
savage king an enemy had be-
witched him and made a small
crocodile grow in the kings
stomach. The doctor wanted TO
get rid of the accused, and did.
A small crocodile was put in
o receptacle, in a dark room.
An emetic given to the African
king supplied the evidence. He
saw the crocodile and sentenced
his enchanter to death. 1t was
perfect evidence" Those that
want to believe find it easy to
believe. Nevertheless. human
spirits do not come hack here
To beat tambourines. lift tables,
and say Mamma is happy"
No matter what our. destiny
may be after death, it can't be
as silly as that.
Since Queen Elizabeth had a
thousand dresses hanging in her
palace-and not bath tub, by
the way-men have asked. "Do
women dress to please men, to
please themselves, or to make
other, women envious?"
Part of the question is an
swered by news from the Bed
ford Reformatory for Women.
There, locked behind walls,
hidden from every male human
eye, young women are accused
of dressing Sin f1apper style"
. and rules forbid short skirts,
powdered noses, lip sticks,
rouge, etc. Managers say the
rules are necessary "to improve
morals" Why, if no man sees?
Women dress in fancy colors
and fancy ways, and men do
not for this reason. Among
animals, the peacock has his
feathers, the jungle fowl his
weird dance, to attract the
ladies of their species.
Among human beings, in the
struggle for existence, women
have been obliged to go out
after the men. Hence they
compete with each other, even
behind reformatory walls.
Trotzky, who looks like the
late Joseph Pulitzer and has
the same blood, powerful
mixture of Jewish and Far
Eastern, tells his army they
may have "to conquer the cap
itaiist states of the world"
It's a large undertaking, a
credit to his daring. Many
have started out to conquer
capital, only to be conquered
by capital in turn. Alexander
the Great conquered effete
Persia. Then effete Persia con-
quered him.
If capitalist states were wise,
especially this capitalist state,
they would give Russia
chance to get rich. There was
depth in Joseph Pulitzer's
solemn remark: Brisbane, Bris-
bane, if you ever get any
money, which you never. will,
YOU will find that your opinions
will change"
Will the radio make the news
naper unnecessary Not If
Government controls the radio.
The value of a newspaper re-
sides in the fact that the Gov
ernment does NOT control it.
The other day in Washington.
when the woman suffrage Lead
ers dedicated their building with
enthusiasm, they were not al
lowed to use radio to send their
speeches broadcast. Newspa-
ners can print the women's side
and any other side without per-
mission. And what is plainly
printed and slowly read is more
effective than what comes bub-
bling in over the wire through
the air.
The Rev. Mr.. Marquis, an ex-
nlorer and missionary, says the
Esouimaux possess great en-
durance because they eat so
many vitamines. Vitamines may
help. but you get as many vita
mines in lettuce leaves as in
the carcass of seal.
