Congress There are several countrie'
that would regard such move as an
indication that America is ready to play
Santa Claus. That would be democrat
izing. The world needs to get down t.
brass tacks. IL cannot be saved by
philanthropy.
Europe needs radical remedies. But
it is primarily Europe's problem. II
would be well TO wait and see what
Europeans have!to offer, what sacrifices
they are willing to make, and then to

Tennis In Olden lines.

Tennis, the forerunner Of the lawn
game of today, is a very old game.
1t was introduced into England about
the Fourteenth century. A line was
chalked on a wall and a stroke be-
low this was regarded a fault. Palm
tennis originated in France. The bali
was driven by the palm Of the hand (;
at first the hand was bare, but later
the players used a glove, and later
still some form OF racquet was used.
In the time Of Edward ", Henry VII
and Henry VIII crude form of tennis
was played in England, and It is on
record that Queen Elizabeth was
pleased at game played by ten of the
Earl of Hertford's servants. Another
story tells how a noble earl, becoming
heated by the exertions Of the game,
wiped his face with the queens hand
kerchief, and was rewarded with a
crack on the head with her majesty's
racquet.

THE State Highway Commission does
not propose to let the state be mulcted
in the purchase of cement Last week
bids FOR the million three hundred
thousand barrels of cement required
for the road and building program in
the State for 1922 were opened in the
office of Chief Engineer Hirst OF the
Commission The bids were uniform,
81 60 per barrel less ten cents for cash
This is the same price quoted to con-
tractors and the Commissions, regard
ing the price as unreasonabIy high,
promptly rejected all bids. The result
may be that the state will do little or
no cement work this year

REFUSING PROSPERITY

Chicago Tribune: The government
forecasts a 5000, 600, 900 bushel corr
crop, the largest with three eXcep-
tons in the history Of American farm
ing. Supplementing this there is
the prospect of 200, 000, 600 bushels of
apples, a rye crop larger by one-ffth
than last year, the second largest
potato crop on record, about 1870, 600
600 more bushels of oats thar a year
ago, and so on through the list of
farm products.
We need no government report to
tell us that the supply of coal and iron,
the most fundamental of our mineral
resources, is u%nimpaired in availability
for production. The supply of these
basic products is hundreds of times
greater than any possible require
ment for many years to come.
That being the case, it would seem
that nature has set the stage this
year for II Of the greatest, if not the
greatest, eras Of true prosperity this
country has ever known. Abundant
lOOu ana the eSSenIldlS Oh industry are
at hand. If in these circumstances
our prosperity lapses and suffering
comes it is clearly the fault of man.
We are too greedy, or too stupid or
too selfish to obtain all of the en-
joyments of the benefits lavished up
on us.
1t might be we'll for us while fight
ing for political preferment, for power
to impose our theories upon our fell
low men, for ideals, or for material
or cultural advantages to remember
this fact. Man is born to error. In
the present case manmade error is
threatening to destroy the fruits of
natural abundance. That thought, if
taken home, should so reduce the ego
tism of those who directly and indi-
rectly are now driving the country
toward economic catastrophe as to
clear away the artificial obstacles
which they have raised to the enjoy
ment of the natural advantages of
this land.

want you to use a little influence with
headquarters on this deal-the boss
doesn't want to show his hand there"
and leaning forward, Ben Chacherre
spoke in a low tone. Then, Gumberts
heard him out, chuckled, and nodded
assent.
At two that afternoon Henry era
mont was summoned to the telephone.
He was greeted hy a voice which he
did not recognize, but which an
nounced itself promptly.
This is Mr.. Gramont? Police head
quarters speakin'. You laid Il charge
this morning against a fellow named
Chacherre?'
Yes answered Gramont.
Must ha' been some mistake, then
came the response. 1--WE thought the
prints fitted, but found later they
didn't. We looked up the ChaCherre
guy and found he was workin' steady
and strictly Q. X. What's more to
the point, he proved up a dead sure
alibi for the other night"
"Oh =" said Gramont. Then there's
nothing To be done!'
Not yet. We're workin' on it, and
maybe ven have some news later.
Goodby.'
Gramont hung up the receiver, a
puzzled frown crea.ing his brow. But,
after a minute, he laughed softIy-a
trace Of anger in the laugh.
"Ah!" ne murmured. Il %Congratu-
late you on your efficiency, Mr.. Fell!

at last, and I'll have a surprise for You
