On the Baldric of Porthos By Royal cordso

once burned clubhouse to the
ground. That, at all events, is what
the ribald said. I had left in my
locker overnight a sweater of the sub
limest golden yellow, q whole sun
burst in itself. Hence, they told me, the
disaster. The jape-for I suppose it
may pass as jape-is symboical of
a curious obliquity of vision prevalent
in the golfng race. Many men fancy
that they are affirming certain
sobriety, strength, poise, inherent in
their sex, when they incaee themselves
in q mud-colored sweater and 90
abroad upon the links resembling moth
ing SO much as tramp escaped from
stagnant bunker. They are in error.
After all, man, in his quiddity, as
Lamb would say, is none so easy to
look at. Why not do our little pos
sible to extenuate him, to detach him
from his own prosiness? This is not
a light caprice. 1t is, maintain, a
solemn duty.
When the nineteenth century came
in some of the JOY of life went out,
for then color died. Painters still
used. it, and women, of course, kept up
the cult. But man went in for whole
sale remuneration. He cut his suit ac-
cording to his cloth, and the only cloth
he trusted was funereal black. Did he
risk blue or a gray he was still on
the safe side. And, as I have limited,
he fattered himself that in SO doing he
was preserving the moral order of
things. To get off the stodgy key was
to lapse into levity, to make himself
one of Ortheris's "peacockses," to in
vite the scorn of Faulconbridge for
A. cocker'd slkcn wanton,
Mocling the air with colors idly spread.
Yet the sanctions of color in mascu-
line habiliments are to be found in

Trained Diplomats

Though the present Administra-
ton has not altogether avoided
the practice of appointing Ameri-
can diplomatic officers in payment
of political debts, never have so
many of the chiefs of American
missions abroad been men with pre-
vious training in the foreign service.
If this policy is continued the
American diplomatic service soon
will rank with the best. Two factors
so far have worked against attain
ing high standards. One has been
the unimportance Of Americas dip
lonatic relations before the war, and
the >.her has been the survival of
the spoils system. With earned pro-
motion denied, the diplomatic service
has not been attractive to the best
type of young Americans.
Americas representative is now a
person Of Importance, and if the
practice can be firmly rooted Of re-
warding efficient service we may
soon take great pride in our diplo-
matte establishment.
Never before has the country had
such need of able and experienced
representatives men thoroughly
familiar with international affairs.
This knowledge is rarely acquired
except by personal experience. 1t
should not be necessary to waste
paper and ink setting forth truisms,
but unfortunately it still is.

Elouting the Labor Board
New York, Aug. 7, 1922.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: John G.. Walber, executive secre-
tary of the Bureau OF Information Of
Eastern Railroads, is incorrect, in meas
ure, when he states that he knows no
basis of fact to substantiate the asser-
tion that the roads have flouted the de-
cisions of the Labor Board. He must
know that the Labor Board declared
the Erie Railroad wrong in giving re-
pair work to outside contractors in an
effort to place the 'shopmen employed

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Poetry for the People

Poetry for the People
1t amt the clo'es that makes the
man,
It's the pluck an brains and
study;
The barefoot boy with checks of
Is good as anybody.
1t amt the chap with endless
means
That gifts the prizts, sonny;
The honest guy with soiled blue
jeans
May make the biggest money.
He may-an' that sounds strange,
becuz
The fact is that he seldom does.
1t amt the creases in his pants
Nor fancy linen collars
That gives the lad with sense
chance
To harness all the dollars.
It's what he's got inside his
head
Not what he eats for dinner
An what he's seen an did and
read
That makes a man a winner.
An yit, we reely must admit
That togs does help little bit.
1t amt the way you part your
hair,
Or grease an shine an slick it,
That makes folks know that you
are there
To draw the lucky ticket.
Red flowered vests don't git no
Pink shirts don't draw no
prizes,
You'll see the gents that makes a
splash
Has got big hat-band sizes.
Still, after all is said and done,
Good stylish clo'es don't hurt we
none.
If tailors made a man succeed,
Or rise to ranks above 'em,
You soon would find that there
would need
To be a lot more of 'em.
A mans all right that's clean
inside,
And keeps at work all hours,
No matter if his ties amt dyed
The color of spring flowers.
Yet, somehow, style does help a
guy
Who just is starting to git by.

THE Iower
AN oLD-FAsHIoNED GARDEN

AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN
nNCE as 1 walked through an old
W fashioned garden,
Dropping a curtsey to each lovely
flower,
Snapdragon, hollyhock, larkspur and
foxglove,
Kissed and refreshed by a vagabond
shower,
sweetly refreshed by an amorous
shower;
"How you enjoy" said I, call Of your
lovers:
Zephyr that fondles and gently ca
resses;
Tempest that buffets and kisses 80
rudely,
Loosens and scattcrs your glorious
tresses,
Recklessly scatters your odorous
tresses;
"Rain from the east that persistently
courts you,
Leaving you weary, averting your
faces;
Mist that comes suing with glittering
jewels,
Praises and worships your elegant
graces,
Lavishly worships your sweet, stately
graces;
"Cloud from the mountain on hot sum-
mer morning,
Loving you tenderly, as is his fashion;
Sun that so ardently pays his adj
dresses,
Woos and embraces you, burning with
passion,
Hotly embraces with fiery passion"
While I was speaking and passing
among them,
Dropping curtsey to each lovely
flower,
came on something that caught my
attention:
hour,
Silently, faithfully telling the hour.
4NoW lol Il gym VI plilOSOpIyJ Sdlu L,
Facing the flowers, the sun dial be-
tween us.
This is the wisdom of life that was
craven:
Horas non 71unero nisi serenas.
Smiling I pondered it: nisi serenas.
Sadly I turned to the old-fashioned
garden,
Wooed by the sun ans refreshed by
the shower,
Loved by the mist and the boisterous
tempest.
He 1oho enjoys life enjoys cvery hour.
Thankful, pondercd: enjoys oueay hour

Sir: Inclosed is copy of my letter
of the 28th. am sending the carbon
copy for the reason that the original
might have gone into your waste
| basket.
You have made recent reference in
The Tower to your Incidence and all
| that sort of thing. l always thought
you were kidding, but now I know that
"indolent"' certainly is the word
Otherwise, I believe that 7 should have
received some sort of acknowledge
ment of my auspicious entry into the
"contribs."
AS I have been faithful to the old
Tower since +. P. A. left The Tribune
I really think 1 am entitled to some
answer Very truly yours,
D. A. G.
From the copy attached to the above,
we find that D. A. G. is one of that
noble and still growing army which is
daily discovering the laundry wheeze:
Don't kill your wife; let US do your
dirty work"
We wish D. A. G. had not insisted
that he was entitled to an answer.
Heaven knows what may happen to US
if this defiant spirit spreads to the
other customers. With all this labor
unrest in the air we might even be
forced to get out The Tower ourself for
the remainder of our term.
We don't answer letters, D. A. g.,
and we use the stamps inclosed for our
own fell purposes, and we throw
stamped and self-addressed envelopes
on the floor, and there is no health
in us. Undoubtedly you were entitled to
an answer. On the strength of your last
paragraph you also qualify for SYM
pathy.
We're indolent. We admit it. But
the only reason we do so is because
the language has no stronger word to
describe our disposition.

ease in the Gulf Coast country dur
ing the last two years. according To
information received at southeastern

The disease which was first noticed
among cattle at Cypress in Harris
county about two years ago and has
spread rapidly since that time, and is

Most Fatalities
Due to CarelessneSs
of the individuals

The department Of the travelling
public has a greater influence on
railway safety than Be- generally
known, and the Safety Section Of
the American Railway Association
in an appeal for the conservation
of human life and limb gives some
Illuminating facts on the subject.
OF the 800 fatalities occurring IN
railway passenger travel during the
year 1920, about two-thirds were
cases In which the individual him
self was in some way involved IN
the chain OF circumstances. For
example, ~ persons we're killed by
falling from coach steps, ! x by fall
ing from moving trains, 90 by be-
ing struck or run over, and 10 met
their death by deliberately jumping
from trains while mentally deranged
to escape penal servitude. More
startling still b. the fact that 60 pas
sengers were killed and ,299 in
jured in getting on or off moving
and stationary trains.
Once seated inside a railway car
the traveller is in about the safest
place in the world, and IL Is gen
orally his own acts IN gaining or
leaving such position that create
any hazard Notwithstanding the
wonderful safety Of passengers on
the railways Of the. country, i Is

travellers carried annually 20 make
