BRITISH sOUNDNEss.

There has been no more remark
able fact lately in international
affairs than the steady rise of the
British pound sterling in exchange
value. It's normal value is about
S4.86 1t has risen $1,25 in little
more than year, and is now with
in 35 cents or so of par.
Here is certainly a e-back from
the business situation in which Eng
land was left after the armistice.
The war cost Great Britain more
than any other country. She poured
out money like water, for her own
expenses and for loans to her allies.
She advanced to other countries
nearly twice as much as she obtain
ed from the United States, and
there is little prospect of her get
ting much of it back.
Since the war England has had
much industrial trouble. Business
has been Frustrated a large part of
the time from strikes. Vast sums
have been paid for wage insurance.
There has been slump there, as
here There have been costly diff
culties in various parts of the en-
pire. Ireland has been virtually
lost and source of big expense.
Foreign markets have to be built up
all over again. There is no sure
indication of peace and economic
reconstruction in Europe. 1t might
have been expected that British
finance would register all this.
The fact that it does not is a
triumph for British energy and
courage. Britain tackled the job
OF clearing away her war debris
without any illusions or postpone
ments. She refused to try to make
both ends meet by making money out
Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-06-19

Of nothing. She taxed herself to
the limit, economical where she
could, balanced her budget, and
went ahead determined to do bust
ness as usual And she has sue
ceeded so well that she is prepared
now to begin paying interest on the
war loans she obtained from the
United States.
There is convincing lesson in
this for other European nations who,
tackling the same task less sternly
and sanely, are now laundering in
sea of inflated and deprecated
currency and resultant bad business.
There is a lesson even for the Unit
ed States. When the British gov
eminent makes budget, the Brit
ish parliament lives up to it.

YOUNG GIRL IS
GIVEN DOPE BY
TWO YOUTHS
Miss Willie Branch of Hayti,
Mo-, Falls Victim to Evil
Designs in .Jonesboro-
Guilty Arrested.

The Jonesboro Tribune, of the
18th, says: "a sensation developed
in judge c. r. Wilson's Police Court
this morning when Homer Pickett
and Robert Johnson were arraigned
on charges of administering dope to
Miss Willie Branch, age 10, of Hay
ii, Mo. 1t seems that Miss Branch, a
very attractive young lady, came to
Jonesboro quite recently and secur-
ed a room with Alice Surber on
Cotton Belt Avenue West of the
Burns Boiler Works.
Alice Surber is commonly known
as Big Alice" and is a police cha
racter, having been in court on a
number of occasions. Adjoining the
Surber house is vacant house
in which the two boys and the girl
were reported to nave been fire.
quently and it was in this house
that officers arrested the trio yes
terday when the boys were in the
act of administering a shot of the
uODe 10 the girl.
Officers Hopkins and Sanderson
were detailed to watch the house
and as result of IA tip received
by Police Headquarters and at the
trial this morning Johnson testi-
fled that he had previously given
the girl some four or five shots. The
girl swore that she did not know
what it was she was taking. After
hearing the evidence, Judge Wilson
fined the two boys SO each and
took the girl to the home of her
sister on Cate avenue. Johnson was
placed in the chain gang and Pickett
was released until reXt Monday
morning when he will report to
work out his fine. 1t is understood
that the girl will return to her
homo at Hayti.

THE PROFESSORS WIFE.

The story of the quiet professor
of astronomy who saved money on
$1,000 a year, made some lucky in
yestments, reinvested his dividend
checks on the advice Of his bankers
and finally at the age OF SO is able
to give a great telescope to his
university is amazing many people.
The telescope is to be a very fine
one, costing nearly $150,00O AL
most all of this comes from the pro-
fessor.
1t is beautiful story of devo-
ton to an ideal But it is not quite
fair to give all the credit to the
professor. A just half is due to the
professors wife.
Had the wife not been willing to
keen on with her humble existence
in the midst of prosperity beyond
her early dreams, had she not been
willing to do her full share OF the
working and the self-denying and the
waiting and the putting first in her
heart and soul the ideal of her hus-
band, he could hardly have accom-
plished his great work and succeeded
in realizing that longserved ideal
In no spirit of detract1on from

FAMOUS WASHINGTON LAWYER

hone for a reduction in the amount
of crime. Reputable citizens ought
TO be enabled to obtain permits to
have pistols in their homes for self
defense.
Firearms Through Mail
Under present conditions anyone
may obtain firearms through the
mails by sending the necessary sum
to mail order houses. 1t is useless to
hope for a reduction in the amount
of crime, which includes the shoot
ing of people by criminals, as long
as this facility to obtain firearms
exists.
These are probably the most i'm
portant suggestions, but there are
many more.
Stricter Law Enforcement.
Greater parental control would
help very much, particularly since
there is an increase in the number
of young men defying the law.
There can be no doubt that par
ents. many of them foreign born,
are responsible to a great extent
fer tie lawlessness which exists in
this country today. Children are per-
mitted to run the streets to associ-
ate with other children who may
lead otherwise well intentioned chill
dren into offense against the law.
The consequences is that they be
come incipient criminals and when
they grow up into young manhood
are ready to adopt the ways of
older criminals.
Many of these recommendations
will be submitted in a memorial
that, it is expected, will be adopted
by the American Bar Association
at it's annual convention in San
| Francisco in August.
One difficulty of the committee,
of which | am a member and which
was appointed by the American Bar
Association to recommend means to
reduce crime, is that the Federal
Government has no records classify
ing the amount and various kinds
of crime in the country.

WASHINGTON, June 16-The United
States is being swept by the greatest
and most threatening crime wave

vOIsTEAD AND sNAKE-BITE.

A lot of New Jersey people are
said to be highly indignant because,
when a young man was bitten on
the right leg by copperhead snake,
it was impossible to get any whis-
key.
The case however, was not hope
less. The accident happened at the
base of the Palisades, on the Hud-
son, opposite Yonkers, N. Y. That
gave the rescuers an idea. They
knew that there was always plenty
OF whiskey in New York. SO they
rushed the victim across the Hudson
obtained and administered the tradi-
tional remedy and got the bite eau
terized.
The patient is expected to re
cover. And no doubt the whiskey
will be given all the credit. Medical
authorities have been saying in re-
cent years that more snake-bitten
people have been killed by the whis-
key poured into them than by the
snake venom, but you can't expect
such radical idea to find general
acceptance in one generation.

London, June 16.-The draft of
the new Irish constitution, made
public last night on the eve of the
Irish elections, gives, as the docu-
ment itself states, force of law to
the AngIo-Irish treaty and expressly
declares that any provision of the
constitution or any amendment
thereto, or any law enacted under
the constitution, which is in any re-
lspect repugnant to the treaty, shall
be void and imperative.
The constitution thus enbodies
connection with the British crown,
as already established in the treaty
| and generally places the relations
between Ireland and the empire on
the same basis as Canada and the
lother dominions.
The constitution requires every
member of the free state parliament
| to subscribe faith and allegiance
Ito the constitution and swear to be
faithful to the king in virtue of the
common citizenship of Ireland and
Great Britain and Ireland's member
ship in the British commonwealth of
nations.
| Up-to- Date Instrument.
| The document contains 70 articles
and is considered an up-to-date in
strument, not only granting female
suffrage, the proportional representa-
| ton and a referendum to the peo-
pie, but also empowering the people
themselves to initiate legislation. II
lgives to the chamber great power
