to do with the qualities indicated by

Both as the result of this weakness

Lacking friendliness, sympathy and

Stories That Recall Other.
She Remembered,


Mary is a four year old and always
inquisitive One day her mother was
sweeping UP the cellar and curious
looking insect ran from beneath the
broom Her mother tel her it was a
acknowledged worm
About week later Mary was drawing
some pictures. He mother asked what
the drawing was supposed to be. Mary
said, why, mother, don't yeu know?
It's a picture of the several-iegged worm
we saw the other day"
Sleeping Upstairs.
A woman is fond of telling a story
about her glrlhood days. There were
several children in the family and they
went to school with other children, per
haps a trifle better off as to this worlds
goods than they were. At any rate, the
other children were always talking about
their upstairs. And there was no up
stairs to the cottage where this womans
family lived-it was only cottage. But
childfenlike. they had to be able to say
school: why, upstairs, where we
sleep"
So when mother went downtown one
day these small children laborlously took
their little beds apart ,and carried
them up the narrow, steep. dark stairs
that led to the attic. Then they carried
up the bedelothes then their little
chairs They were indeed going to sleep
upstairs.
When mother came home she found
out what had happened. She climbed
the attic stairs amid the dust, eobwebs
and whatnots and found the two beds
And Just to punish them, or TO give
them a taste OF what they were SEEK
Ing she made them sleep u5 there a
few nights in the hot weather, until they
were glad they had no upstairs"

OLD TABLETS

We don't know what the profession
al antiquarians think about it, but as
one more or less familiar with the
trade, we are convinced that the Bah
ylonians practieed printing 1000 years
ago. Those well-preserved tablets prove
it. The Babylonians we know to have
been a wonderfully intelligent people,
and the acheologists tell US that they
filed their legal documents, inscribed
on clay, with a thin layer OF damp clay
laid over each, in order to preserve it.
And, of course, anybody with one
eye and half sense would have dis
covered that the cast" or stereotype
thus made could be in turn duplicat-

THE TARIFF AND MINING

Gloomy predictions have been made by republicans and democrats over the ramificatlOns of the new tariff law, especially as it affects mining and kindred industries. It is main tained that in the event that the cop per people enter the exportation of the metal to foreign countries, largely to Germany, perforce we must accept in at least part payment large amount of the manufactures of that country, which is now impossible un- der the terms of the bill. It must be understood that the law is now in ef- feet and that imports from any of the old world countries must meet the wall that the congress has built. In consequence the coppers will meet the heaviest loss by being shut out from the export trade to these large users of the red metal. On the other hand the producers of metals are aided by the new law, especially the base metals that have been coming into the country unrestricted. Among these metals are lead and zinc, which have a small protective tariff, and the rare metals have possibilities af- forded them that may cause the start ing up of mines that have been closed down.
 During the past several years China Ihas been importing tungsten into this country, while South America was supplying large amount of the man. ganese that went into the steel out put of this country. Under the law these metals will have to pay good sized tariff before admission, and this tariff duty will probably cause re- sumption of work on many of the mines of the west. Tungsten can be produced and sold at profit in this country for about $8 or $10 per unit I22 pounds), while China can ship the metal for much less than that sum. Manganese can be put on board a vessel at a South American port for approximately $1 per ton, which is too low figure to allow of compe- tition by the producers of the United States, and in consequence nearly all the productive mines have been closed. To give our readers some idea of the .potentiality of the new enactment so far as it relates to mining we. are giving the items of the bill below:
 Aluminium, aluminium scrap, and al- Aoys of any kind in which aluminium is the component material of chief value, in crude form, 5 cents per pound; in coils, plates, sheets, bars, rods, circulars, disks, blanks, strips, rectangles, and squares, 9 cents pel pound.

ANNOUNCES RULES
TO GOVERN FRATS

Two methods by which fraternities
and sororities in the Washington
high schools may receive the approval
of school authorities were announced
today by Supt. Frank W. Ralluu after
a careful and lengthy consideration of
the question of approving the secret
societies under the regulations adopt
ed by the board of education June !,
1921.
The first, according to DR.. Baiiou,
Is complete withdrawal of all local
chapters from affiliation with any ma
tional high school fraternity or soro-
rity, their entire reorganization in
accordance with the rules of the
school board and their supervision by
school authorities.
The other way involves complete
reorganization of the national fra
ternities and sororities themselves
until they and their chapters in va
rious parts of the country meet with
the approval OF school authorities
wherever such chapters exist
A statement outlining DIR. Ballou's
plan whereby the secret societies may
meet the approval Of school author
tiles WAS sent today to all chapters
of fraternities and sororities in the
District which have sought Official
approval.
