ABOUT Sir conan
Doyle.
People want what they want when
they want it. This is human ma
ture; old If not reverend. East Side
wants a High school, but says moth
ing about money. Board of Educa-
ton offers to build it If council will
grant bonds, or Board of Apportion-
rnent will lay special tax Council
can't. Tax Board won't. Educa-
tional fathers know that with no
money there can be no school. What
makes them so much smarter than
others Are they naturally so? Prob
ably not. Having the duty to build,
they butt their heads into that very
hard stone wall which has on it the
big sign, mo funds" This may
make the Board of Education seem
more intelligent than it really is.

1900 feet high in a five passenger
plane. knot tied by B. w. Maynard,
the flying parson. Friends of the
couple heard the brides yes by
wireless. The queen bee is married
thus. In high blue. Read Maeter-
tinck's book THE Bees" It is most
Interesting. The poor husband bee
does not survive the ceremony. Men
and women exist as the bees do, pri-
marily for the generations unborn.
Up in the air or down On the earth
generations of men and women do
their share to gain the unknown

Lady Aston objects to a bonus for
soldiers She thinks American his
tory would better not be written by
knights of Columbus. The bes'l Of
us do not think a hundred per cent
efficiently. The more angles history
Is written from. the better the chance
that somebody will write history it
should be written. Investigation,
generalization and the PRONUNCIATION
of the controlling law. This is road
to travel. As for the bonus. George
Washington were he alive would not
agree with Mrs. Astor.
There are numbers Of uses which
might be made of four billions, the
cost OF the bonus. Also, the amount
of tho British debt. Lady Astor, one
fancies, would favor the forgiveness
of the debt, as nice thing to do.
Who could blame her? All OF u.s.
yes every one, are victims of mex
orabie environment. It is hard to
think that the plum should go to
somebody else.
When a pretty coed displays a
pretty knee and much stocking and
the picture is printed in the college
paper it is "unfavorable publicity in
Northwestern University Chicago.
Newspapers which supply the public
with reading specialize on hosiery
lately. There's nothing wrong with
knee, pretty or otherwise. That
pictured stockings should be regarded
worth the space they get is the nys-
terry that needs search. Editors pass
public wants them.
South of ireland is tied up today.
The strike to protest too much army
is a success South Ireland believes
that the civil arm must be above the
military. All else leads to anarchy
NO modern state will tolerate a rule
by sword Welded by its own citi-
gems Much better let the provisional
government work out the problem.
Ireland needs peace, opportunity to
work, and chance to take her place
With other nations.

ore, more or less al1oyed with other
metals, and much burned and pitted
