ROOSEVELT rs. HARDING.

DISCUSSING the dismissal of the
officials of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, Representative
Roert Walton Moore. Democrat, of
Virginia, not only pointed out who
probably prepared the order of dis
missal, but drew this striking con-
trast between the action of Presi-
dent Harding and what would have
been the action of Theodore RoOse-
welt in similar circumstances. Mr..
Moore SAID:
ut is circumstance of marked
significance in the estimation OF
those who dread return to the spoils
system that only few days before
the presidents order was issued his
attorney general proclaimed himself
hostile to the present system. His
utterance was not rebuked by the
president, but, nevertheless, | am re-
luctant to believe that he spoke with
the presidents authority and ap-
proval. There have been presidents
who would not only have rebuked
him, but dismissed him for the good
of the service. Mr.. Roosevelt, who
would now, had he lived almost GER
tainly be in the presidency, who alb
hored the spoils systems and was
among the stanchest and most reso-
lutte defenders of the merit system,
would surely not have counternanced
the doctrine which the attorney gen
eral has proclaimed, nor in my opin
inc, is it conceivable that he woult
have signed the order which the at
torney general doubtless prepared
There is food for thought in tbs
words of Senator Moore.

VANISHING ROMANCE.
GRAY HAIRED men, dun

GRAY HAIRED men, during
springtime, are haunted by the
fascinating memories of their depart
ed youth.
They recall how, about this time
of year, long ago, they dreamed o.
running away to sea.
Of all forms of romantic adven-
ture, the sailors life has been the
top-notcher since Marco Polo somt

netic needle compass from Asia,
thereby putting ocean exploration
firmly on its feet 1t was a great
step forward from charting a ships
course by the stars.
In few generations the world has
seen romance steadily crowded out
by the steamship. The slave trader
passed. Pirates were driven from
the high seas.

pia and walking the plank" reign

One of the final nails has just been
driven in the coffin of ocean romance

Philadelphia.
The occasion was the first suc-
eessiul demonstration of giant gy
foseope which will prevent big ocean
liners from rolling except durinp
.'eavy storms. Similar 'gyro-stabl.
izers" are already in use in some
smaller ships, especially yachts.
The typical 1922 comment about
this will be: Thank goodness. sea
sickness finally is preventable."
There'lf be very little thanks
among the men who, as boys, wanted
to be Treasure Isalnd' pirates when
they grew up.
Romance is disappearing from the
land, as well as the ocean. II is one
OF the penalties of what man calls
progress, or the conquest of the earth
and the elements.
Scientists and inventors are maxi

nance exits with uncertainties.
The modem boy senses this. The

as it had for his father. And the

Number of Domestic Servants

What about the disappearing house
maid? In New York city between
1910 and 1920 the number of domes.
tic servants decreased almost 10000.
The general figures for 1920 alone
show that 3,488 domestics disap-
peared from the face of the earth as
nysteriously as did the little children
of Hamlin who followed the Pied
Piper.
There is one thing that can ex-
plain this disappearance: that Is the
electrical appliances that have come
in and humanely made servants un-
necessary. Today II is possible for
housekeeping to be entirely auto
matte. because electricity can multi
plv each mans labor by a trement

PARISIANS OPPOSED TO
YANK TRAFFIC SYSTEM

PARIS, July 17.-Should the
great cities of the world grow alike
or each try to keep it's individuality?
Upon the answer to that ques.
ton will be based the decision OF
the city of Paris whether to adopt
the red-green-white light system OF
traffic guidance now in use on
Fifth avenue, New York.
Opposition to the acceptance of
proposal made by DIR. John A.
Harriss, designer Of the Fifth ave-
nue. signals, to put such lights
along the Avenue de rOpera is
based upon the feeling that they
will give visitors to Paris a stereo.
typed impression-that Americans
will forget the beauty of the broad
avenue and say, Isn't that just
like Fifth avenue?" This would
hurt the pride of the French.
