PAYMENT OF

Tokio.-The government and banks
Of Japan are trying to devise some
scheme whereby what are known as
the Nishihara loans to China totalhng
100, 900, 900 yen may be recovered or
at least the interest OF 100000 yen
a year. which has no been paid

1918. may be secured. When q
loans were made by the Industrial
bank and the banks Of Korea and
Dornnosa, 1t was expected that China
would give the banks certain conces-

coming. The banks have had to pay
the interest to the investors who
bought the bonds and there seems no

Ripping Rhymes
THE STREET
BY Walt Mason

My room is near the village street,
too close to traffic madding, and all
night long l hear the feet Of foolish
people gadding. Hour after hour |
hear their tread, their midnight vigils
keeping; how people hate to go to bed
and do some useful sleeping! l hear
the tin cars climb the hill, a-honking
and a-horning, and fiappers' voices ris
ing shrill, at $40 in the morning. We
used to have our fun by day, by day
we did our choring; when evening
came we hit the hay and did some
fancy snoring. If any man sent I'D a
yawp that sleepers found disturbing
he'd run against the village cop, who'd
slam him through the curbing. But
weary people have no rights in this
gray world of sorrow; they lie in bee
awake o. nights, and long to greet the
morrow. The young folks whoop be
meath the stars, and yell and sing anc
clamor, and poisoned pups and henry
cars all help to swell the clamor. The
midnight hour no comfort has, there's
little chance for dreaming, for all the
night is full Of jazz and yips ant

Composure

Haste makes waste, says an old proverb. And
by the same token, composure and deliberate ac-
ton usually bring permanent results. Men who
are quick to draw conclusions and quick to act,
often are poor councillors. Their advice lacks
the saving quality of deliberate thought and ac-
curate analysis.
The jazz mind may dazzle and temporarily
rush you off your feet, but in short time you
are forced to consider realities without being in
fluenced by the blare and clamor of an artificial
enthusiasm.
The period of initiation through which the
American people passed after the war illustrates
the point. Few of them did any clear thinking
in which they reasoned from cause to effect, and
prepared for eventualities. The few that warned
against the dangers of initiation were ridiculed
and scorned. The majority believed that money
would come easy for many years to come, and so
they jazzed on until the day of reckoning brought
them to short halt
And so in other things also Conservatism,
balanced judgment, ability to hold the middle
ground, are after all the fundamentals upon
which you can build with the assurance of per-
manence and success.
When a prominent member of the Friends
church not long ago. in statement sent out all
over the country by The Associated Press, said
that all of us would benefit by devoting certain
periods to reflection and introspection, he was
voicing a sentiment that found favorable re-
Spouse in many parts of the United States. Out
of calm consideration proceed most of the great
and good things of the world.

Riley's Old Home

Admirers of James Whitcomb Riley have
purchased the old brick house on Lockerbie
street, indianapolis, to convert it into a shrine
where the public may see for years to come the
place where the Hoosier poet gathered inspira-
ton for the poems that made him one of our
most beloved writer's.
The dedication of the home will be attended
with ceremonies indicative of the spirit which
prompted the purchase of the old home and the
purpose which it is to serve in the future
Posterity often has waited long until it mani
tested its love and admiration for one OF its
sweet singers by dedicating monument to his
honor or acquiring title to the place where ne
interpreted the sentiments of the people into
everlasting song.
But in this case, admirers of the genius of
the Hoosier poet are anticipating the action of a
coming generation by doing a service while still
there is chance for its fulfillment. The Riley
home will be shrine which will draw thousands
annually to Lockerbie street
Beautiful associations cling to the old home
stead. Great men-authors, singers and states
men-have trod Lockerbie street to pay their
tribute to the poet. And hundreds of boys and
girls to whom the poet was congenial friend
and thousands of plain, ordinary Hoosiers who
loved the poet for his ability to put into verse
the sentiments of their hearts, have proceeded
along Lockerbie street to the old home.
