How 1t Would Work.
! The policy proposed By Colonel Miller
would on the one hand alleviate the SUI
; fcrIng OF the German Owncrs who have
! small estates tied up and would confine
! the American governments action 10
, only 1000 estates. BY establishing
quasi government corporation, the Ger
I IMAM oWmHrs Of even these 1000 estates
would not permanently be deprived or
: incI' property. for they would be given
:; portion OF their estates back and the
remainder would be converted into
; stocks o. bonds in the new credit cor
pOrHti"n, out of the profits OF which
: il - estimated American claims against
/ Germany would easily bc paid. It woulo
wpuid take some years 10 reap enough
profit Ia pay all the claims but tho
: American treasury could anticipate the
profits qf the corporation by paying
, claims in advance.
The exact amount OF the American
claims against Germany will not be
known until the American German
claims commission, soon TO be set up by
, :rcaty with Germany, gets into opera
ton. IT IL estimated that the sum will
not amount TO moro than $500 600 900,
though nobody knows except from his
torir&l experience which shows that the
final adjudication cuts the claims down
! materially. In any event the amount of
Germany property held In America is
more than sufficient 10 permit the re-
iurn Of estates under $4,000 and soma
th:uk even higher and still have enough
/ left TO establish tho credit corporation
and give back some per cent to the own
crs OF estates above $4,000.
As for Austrian property or rather
[ the assets of citizens OF the former
Austro- Hungarian empire which now
/ has been divided into Poland. Rouma-
MIA. Serbia and C2cchoSovakia, the
claims Of American citizens are consid-
! cred relatively negligible. So il is pro-
posed /" give back all the property
seized from nationals OF the former
| .\uStro-IIungarian empire.
The German property Is scattered
| from tho Philippines 10 the New Eng
/ land coast and includes chemical fac
tories. WOODEN mills. steamship lines.
/, banks. land and cattle companies SAL
mon factories, gold and silver and other
mnies as we'll as miscellaneous indus

The Beauty of the Year

No matter what the weather, some
one grumbles. If it is warm, you will
hear someone say, 81 wish it were
cold" and vice versa. If the sun shines
brightly you perhaps will hear, "If
only it would rain" If one would think
he would appreciate the good of each
time of the year.
Each season has its own pleasures
and charm. In winter we have the
beautiful pictures the snow makes ev-
erywhere. Then there is skating,
coasting, sleighing, and in some coun-
tries skiing and tobogganing.
Of course, everyone loves sweet
springtime with it's sunny, fresh days.
Who does not like the opening buds
and leaves and dainty spring flowers?
In summer there is vacation with all
its pleasures; swimming, rowing, ten
mis-, camping, hiking, and fishing. Then
comes fall and the many-colored au-
tumn leaves, and the harvest.
The beauty of spring is the beauty
of childhood with it's freshness and
gayety. Summer is happy, carefree
youth. Autumn portrays the splen-
dour, strength and richness of matur-
ity; while winter has the dignity and
grandeur of old age.

The Alarm Clock

We'll have to get rid of it," the
teacher said,
at vii have to be done some way,
l just can't possibly stand it,
1t breaks up my classes every day."
The pupils smiled, they enjoyed the
fun,
The teachers watch was dead,
And so the alarm clock must be used,
No matter what she said.
In the hearts of the pupils glee has
shone
Since the alarm came to room nine,
But not in the heart of the teacher
For her class has been interrupted
many a/time.
Oh, how it rings, "What relief"
Says the pupil who must reply,
But, 10! in less than a minute
The joyous tones have died.
At last rang the alarm clock one as
sembly morn
When the prayers were being said,
But what is to be done with the alarm
clock?
For the teachers watch is Dead

NEWSPAPERS

What. Read a newspaper! No."
So said the cross old gentleman.
He had just started on business trip
to England and was bit irritated at
the short time he had had for prepa-
ration.
But that question started him to
thinking. Was it of any value to read
the newspaper?
What had happened lately? Well,
let's see, he hadn't read newspaper
for over week, the last thing he had
read about was, let's see, yes, he had
read about a strike. But who was
striking? After a little thought he
decided he didn't know. What were
they striking for? Well, he didn't
know that either. But of course it
was for more wages. Some one was
always striking for more wages, he
reflected with a sigh.
Well he wasn't going to let it worry
him he thought deterninedly, as he
sat back in his chair and lit his pipe.
But the thought would not be BAN
ished. He wished he had newspa-
per; it would help to pass away the
time. Oh no, that was no reflection
on his former habit. He wouldn't
read the paper when he got back home
but-how he wished he had news
paper. If only some one would come
along with a newspaper to sell.
At length he heard pleasant voice
saying, Paper sir, paper"
He was so pleased that he gave the
boy quarter and walked away with
out waiting for his change. That was
very unusual for him.
The first thing he saw was this:
Railroad and mining strike put off
until after the first of April"
What relief to know that.
He went from one interesting topic
to another and later that day we find
him saying to himself as he glances up
from the paper, GLOW did l ever get
along without reading daily paper ?"

Scenery and Advertising

What can be more unsightly and
sacreligious than the modern methods
of advertising by placing noisily and
inharmoniously colored signboards a
long the roads all over the country?
The most beautiful scenery of Gods
country is spoiled by these horribly
colored signboards. Not infrequently
when touring, we see huge mountain
rising in the distance and approach to
admire it, only to discover a gaud:ly
displayed advertisement of safety ra-
zors painted on rock, half way up
the mountain side. Is this common
sense? Isiit not disgusting.
Then, too, as we journey along the
lowlands, past carpeted fields in which
cows are grazing lazily, we see bill
board saying, "Tour America, See the
Worlds most Beautiful Scenery"
Better to say thrice over, "Tour Amer
lea, Read the Advertisements! When
we drive by large wheat fields we be-
hold the sign, Chesterfield Cigarettes
They Satisfy" What could be more
disgusting to the artistic sense of
America?
While travelling on the bus line
to Baltimore from Frederick we see
nothing but signs like this, CDR.
Pierce's Pellets-good for backache."
By the time we reach the city we can
think of nothing except pellets and
backache, pellets and backache. In
fact, we imagine we have the backache
and have enough of pellets to last for
ever.
Shall we, the people, allow this desc
Grafton of the mavels of nature to
continue? The answer to this impor-
tant problem rests with US. What
shall it be? l, for one, say, "Stop it,
and stop it at once"

The Seniors Of T. H. 8.

The Seniors OF I. H. >.
Nine little Seniors went into High,
Upon entering room eight they heaved
great sigh;
For the room seemed full and they
tried to go In, i
But. it was impossible to pass those
Freshmen.
No room could they find for them
selves anywhere,
So they went into the auditorium full
Of despair.
They soon collected great ar1nful of
books
And tugged them around with pitiful
looks.
At last they found themselves in room
nine
Seated around table having a grand
time.
I'm sure they'd all swear if they were
able
That there's something magical about
that table.
For pens and pencils won't stay on at
all,
Books likewise are always ready to
fall;
But the funniest thing / have to say
That sometimes the table itself goes
away.

A Plea For Social Democracy.

n Il
The plea for recognition of per-
sons worth, rather than his rank or
social position which the Scotch poet
OF the peasant folk made in the 18th
century can be and should be made in
our day.
Do we have social democracy? Is
there democracy of any kind in our
country? We claim to have demo-
cratic form of government, but are we
free from the evils OF politics and po-
Ktical bosses? No, the evils are still
going on and money will even buy
seat in our Senate. Hence, we see
that money is great factor in deter
mining who shall make our laws. We
stand aghast at such proceedings and
in the words of our immortal poet
exclaim,
"The pith of sense, and pride of
worth,
Are higher ranks than a'that."
We must also acknowledge the UNI
fairness of class distinction, which has
always existed, but we are glad to say
that the present day conditions are
better than they were before the civil
war. At that time poor men had no
chance to rise above the station of life
in which they were born. They were
called common people by the aristo-
Gratis and were even looked down upon
bv the negroes who called them,
"Poor white trash These were dark
days for that class of people, but
Providence took hand and tidal
wave came that swept the props from
under the feet of the aIistocrats and
reduced them to the same level as that
of the poor for while. Social de-
struction, however, though modified,
have come back to US.
The nearest thing to social democ-
racy in our country is exhibited in our
schools and colleges, where every boy
and girl has an equal chance to climb
the ladder of fame if he has ambition
and perseverance. For instance, the
athlete is reconized, regardless of
rank; the scholar and the honest man
are hcnorcd whether he be rich or
poor.
We are living in the greatest age
the world has ever known, at a time
when there seems to be no limit to
wonderful discoveries and brainy men,
so lei us cry aloud,
"That man to man the world DER,
Shall brothers be for a that"

because of the excellent programs pre-
sented by both societies.
The program rendered was as fol-
lows:

activities are as important as regular
curricular activities.

proud of their victory, as it was not
easily won. The Delta Sigmas, how
ever need not feel Inundated over their
defeat, as splendid fight was put up
by their contestants.

Winter Is Here

Listen to the winds of winter blow,
See the snowflakes darling to and fro
Silently, silently from the sky
Heaping the soft white ridges high.
Winters the time for beautiful sights;
The snow drifts high and Of pure white
Sparkle like diamonds in the moonlight
A lovelier scene than summers
night.
Gliding over the snow very fast,
Will be seen lad and lass;
Nothing is heard from afar or near
But the tinkle of sleigh bells loud and
clear.
Yes, there is something else to be
heard,
Only the fair one can hear the word;
It is whisper from the lad at her side
Telling her how he enjoys the ride,
Winter is the best time of the year,
1t fills each heart with much cheer.
Lads and lasses in the youth of their
year,
Echo it, utter it, winter is here"
