"a Woman Fruit Grower" of Flor
ida has gently chided The Tribune
for expressing some admiration for
the razorback, hog that she con-
siders the descendant of the unfortu-
nate swine that ran down a steep
place into. the sea. Readers should
not misunderstood The Tribune.
There is in its Office, Of course, no
admiration Of the razorback as an
economic asset; he is an economic
liability. But is it not permissible to
admire his spirit, his independence,
his courage, his resourcefulness?
The razorback is worthy of such
admiration as the world has given
Sir Harry Morgan or the hat check
boy. A pertinent illustration Of his
abilities is furnished by another cor
respondent, gentleman of Persim-
mon Center, Ga. A farmer of that
town essayed to keep the razorbacks
from a choice orchard by installing
fierce watchdog. imported from the
North and hence ignorant of the en-
envy. Astonished to find that his
fruit was still stolen, the farmer kept
careful watch. He saw a particu-
larly long, lanky razorback enter the
orchard and squeal defantly at the
dog. That misguided animal inn.
medlateiy gave chase. The razor
back, squealing and flirting his tail
provocatively, went out of the or
chard, leading the dog on. AS soou
as the two had disappeared, out from
their hiding in the brush about the
orchard scurried drove of razor
backs and attacked the unprotected
fruit. This performance was re-
peated as often as the return of tba
dog made it necessary. Here is evil

Iennessee's Old Man

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How fond the newspapers are
OF a good story and how difficult it is
to overtake fiction with fact have just
been evidenced, and will probably be
evidenced many times again, in the
case of the man in Tennessee, who has
been posing as man one hundred and
thirty-five years old.
A few years ago one of the New
York newspapers sent down TO his
home to investigate the matter the
we'll known authority on geratics, DR..
Nascher. He found that the man was
not more than hundred years old.

at the time, but here Is The Tribune

Motion Picture Babies

Motion picture babies are quite the
most interesting of their kind l do
not mean the babies that appear on
the screen, but those taken to the
theaters by fond parents who could not
love their babes so much loved they
not Chaplin more.
Babies on the screen always give
one an uncomfortable feeling. One
feels that there is some one in the
offing, coaxing, pleading, doing gym
nastics, waving rattles and flags and
saying; Alta babel Just hold that
expression few seconds more" The
oldtime photographer used to do those
appeal stunts, but now it is a director,
who wears smoked glasses and fine
clothes, who talks through a mega
phone, and whose salary is talked
about only in awed whispers.
In consequence Of all this caioiing
that is going on out of range of the
lens which thoughtless people tell US
never lies, the babies in front of the
camera are artificial and therefore
uninteresting. But it is not SO with
the babies in the audience. When a
baby In motion picture theater cries
it is simply because the show or the
audience-perhaps it may be both-is
so far below the average that there's
simply no use wasting a self-respect-
ing infants time any more.
But it will be noticed that babies in
motion picture audiences seldom cry.
They are too busy absorbing knowl-
edge. One of them told all about it
the other night. It was a chubby baby,
with most contemplative eyes which
kept steadily upon me, across the
mothers shoulder. One could tell by
looking at this baby that here was a
philosopher. deeply versed in the lore
of the motion picture theater. So it
did not surprise me a bit when the
baby began talking.
This is pretty poor picture you
are SEEING" observed the motion pic
ture baby. II know, because l saw it
last week at the theater four blocks

Sir: This mornings Tribune COM
ments on the fact that a twelve-year-
old girl who found and returned o
package containing 5000 to its owner
was given a reward. or, as one might
say, tip, Of only 20 cents. How
much ought she to have received ?
Does the 10 per cent rule obtain as in
the case Of restaurant checks, and does
it make difference that the finder,
little Helen, probably didn't know
there was 5000 in the package? If 10
per cent is the proper amount to pay,
how shall it be assessed against prop
erty other than money?

cult case, il see a drowning man and
kindly kick plank toward him where
by his life is saved, shall hale him

his worldly goods as my reward ?

Former Governor Cox Of Ohio,
who has been the recipient of dis
tinguished attention abroad, includ-
ing the privilege of delivering a
speech at Geneva, is now of the opin-
ion that the League Of Nations can
function in a helpful way without
the membership Of the United States.
Formerly Mr.. Cox thought other
wise. He told his fellow country
men III effect that mankind would
miserabiy perish If we did not at
once join, join Internationally and
unreservedly. But, having made q
thorough examination Of the work
ings of the League as it now is, he
holds that, while our presence is de-
sirable, it is not indispensable. The
statement is creditable to Mr.. Cox.
1t shows that he is one who can
learn.
1t is not too much to hope that
some day Mr.. Cox will be brought to
see and 10 say that the delegates of
this country would to-day be at
Geneva had it not been for his OPP
position and those who shared his
views-those who accepted his argu-
ment that not only would the League
be of no use, but our adherence to it
would be an evil thing unless we
accepted the once-famous Article x

I always have been haunted
By dreams about a throne;
Since childhood l have wanted
To have one of my own.
To loll, reclining in it,
A scepter in my hand
A monarch for minute

So when the Bolsheviki
Put on the auction block
A throne we'll worn and creaky
Some car had had in stock,
My heart with rapture futtered,
! grinned from ear to ear,
And happily I muttered,
cat last my chance is here
And then I recollected,
With quite a startling jar,
The history connected
With many former car.
To shoot the persons sitting
In gold-trimmed seats of state
The Russians think a fitting
Expression Of their hate.
No longer I consider
The purchase of the thing.
Were l the lucky bidder,
And sought to play the king,
I'd find it far from pleasant
In fragments to be blown
By some rough Russian peasant
Who coveted my thronel
