 Considerable agitation has been started to permit the Admiral boats to travel at speed of 21 knots an hour, which is near full speed. Skip per Jensen, who piloted the ship in the race, was laid off for one trip for violation of the Shipping Board rules, which prohibit Shipping Board boats from travelling at a greater speed than 175 knots an hour.

ent-day jazz literature" for many of the sex problems that confront sc- ciety.
 Tt seems to me there is too much of the so-called eternal tri- angle of sex complication in mod. ern fiction and not enough of the di- vine trinity of love-" Professor Craw- shaw said in an interview here.
 We hear lot of jazz music, and some brilliant men are trying to put jazz into history and even talk of rewriting the Bible The Soviets are trying to put jazz into Government"
 Professor Crawshaw sees hope for the world in modern education, how ever, and declared that whenever the world has needed it conditions have produced lasting literature that ha3 brought about reformation, regenera- tion and rejuvenation. He believes the world is not degeneratihg either in morals or literature.
 Modern education seems to me to be gradually producing an sris- tocracy of learning" Professor Craw- shaw said. | While we may not live to see another Brook Farm co",mun- ity of Emersons and Thoreaus and thinkers of their type cur colleges are developing young Emersons and Thor eaus and sending them out with enormous uplifting influence in the life ot the workaday world. "
 Professor Crawshay said he saw no sign of the long-looked-tor great American nover' appearing immedi- ately, but believes the material for such a work is available. 'The man who writes the great novel," the pro, lessor said, twill be man not only of great education, but of great hu- man sympathy. His heart will be as wide as the world and his human un- derstanding as deep as the blue sea. In fact, think probably he will be a newspaper man."

CRIME OF YEARS WILL BE SCOURED FROM WALLS OF
 OLD WESTMINSTER ABBEY

LONDON, Dec. 2S-The exterior of Westminster Abbey is to be trans formed. Already the workmen are be- ginning their fight against ten cen turtles of London's dust and grime, and 1924 will see the ancient fabric shining forth as no man yet has ever seen it.
 At present it's wonderful exterior is encrusted with three inches of dirt, and the stones laboriously pieced to- gether by the hands of the ancient monks are slowly crumbling. Carving that took the early craftsmen years to contrive is gradually melting away, and a very short space of time would see it vanish in the ordinary course of affairs.
 Happily all this is to be prevented. Sufficient funds have been raised, not merely to prevent further decay but to restore.
 No man ever saw the abbey at US best!
 For three centuries the monks worked upon it as their particular act of religious devotion. But even by the time the last of them finished his labors it was already beginning to fall into decay.

MANILA, Dec. 2s.-People in the lower boxes in the right wing of the Grand Opera House here, enjoying | violin concert by Mishel Piastro, were startled by the appearance of yodng boa constructor. The snake, about three yards long, seemed to come from the "entresuelo," or basement. of the 'theater and to be attracted by the music. Women in the boxes gathered dainty skirts in trembling hands, screamed and bolted, giving the boa full right-of- The men scattered, too, but some one found the stage car penter's hammer and killed the snake, so the concert proceeded.
 Fifteen minutes later another boa appeared, also apparently drawn by the strains of the violin. There was another commotion, and another re-

LONDON, Dec. 2s. - Green Il mond' is in favor
 No, Green almond" is not new patisserie or confection; it's the new est color, and Is prevailing in Autumn hats in fashionable English circles.
 Green almcnd' appears mostly in velvets, and it's only color rival is black, many black hats being seen in the most fashionable shops.
 Heavy veils which are draped over hats are quite the thing. Veils are worn in every fashion, from the veil winch only shows the mouth to veils which drop in front almost to the knees. All of the veils are frontal veils and do not hang in the rear at all. Some stunning wells are seen in black lace. lo1e
 Hats are smaller, but it Is predicted that this Is just reverse of the spring fashions. The toque and ths tiny hat will be in favor during the autumn and winter mouths, but the best milliners are ,ayihg in hundreds of huge, floppy shapes for the spring.
 Hairdressers are already anticipat- ing the return of the big hats and are advising their clientele that the hair must be permitted to grow and boceme full to enable the wearing of the larger hats.

The memory of that war record still exists, and that is one of the dis advantages the Labor Party will have to accept with such gains as may accrue from Mr. MacDonald's superior Parliamentary talents. It may be no great matter that he referred on two occasions to his German friends" that might be nothing worse than an ambiguity of phrasing. But it will always be hard to explain away that passage in the Leicester Pioneer or August IT, 1914, in which he de- lcfared that 'ttfe Admiralty was anx- ions to seize any oportunity of using the Navy for battle practice" and concluded. "Never did we arm our neople and ask them to give their lives for less good cause than this" stnE more difficult will it be to justify. not this phrase or that. nor this action nor the abstention from action, but the whole attitude aof MT, Ramsay Macdonald during the most critical years of his country's 8 history. AAr Henderson and MT c,vnes. to mention only two out o. many of Labor leaders, gave the hest that was in them to the nation' while MT. Macdonald was interest ed like MT. E. D. Morel, in the Union <, Democratic Control and other movements which could not be called helpful. :,
 For all this Mir. Macdonald pald when he was rejected, first by Lei cester in 1918, and next by Wool wich in 1921. {. He was not, it must be confessed sporting loser. He complained ol the opposition of highly creduious women" and declared that he would rather "return to the study ire TOT the rest of his life' than get back to Parliament by the means adopted py his opponents"
 The study fire" is worth nothlns' If was at his study fire that MT MooDonald spent his time during the war. to it he returned after the .aicester defeat; from it he comes as the elect of Aberavon, to the leadership of the Labor Party
 1 MT Mcdonald began political He as Liberal, and, though he mas since professed thorough gong 30 cialism. he is still perhaps not "ith- ort weakness for Liberalism, But with him, probably, a political pnli' osophy is not the chief thing lie Ia more interested in means than ends. and is a politician rather pe' cause he so intensely enjoys the Far liamentary game than because ne possesses any clear vision or over towering conviction.
 Probably the Labor Party is doing well for itself in making him us leader at the present time, lie He will drill it, discipline it, teach II smartness in tactics, bring out the latent ability of various kinds which the election has thrown up.
 But I cannot see MT. Macdonald in the part of great Labor states man. In doing real things, honest MT. Clyne, believe, would be worth an indefinite number of him. 5

WARRECORDS HURTS MCDONALD,
 KEEN CHIEF OF BRITISH LABOR

LONDON, Dec. 2S.--Labors is not exempt from the common lot. It can not have advantages without disad- yantages, and when it takes Mir. Ram say Macdonald as it's leader--a per manent leader, I understand, holding office on much the terms of other party chiefs-it loses as well as 1t gains.
 z On the credit side must be placed, of course, the quite exceptional Par liamentary abilities of MT. Maepon- aid, and these abilities are by no means confined to debating dexterity. In that way alone he is, indeed, a tower of strength. Handsome in his own maner, gifted with voice at once, powerful and pleasant, he is one of those rare men who seem to nave been born with an instinct for Parlia- mentary defense and attack
 He does not hector, nor lecture, nor bore. He hits hard, but rouses no unnecessary antagonisrai all hls logical nails are driven home neatly, with just enough force and mt too much noise; and he has~ the gift, while holding his own supporters, Of establishing pleasant relations with members of other parties with whom he may sometimes have need to CO operate.
 Thus even the war, while 1t sep, arated him from MT. Lloyd George, produced no antagonist between the two. Their political positions were poles asunder, but their friendship remained.
 aMr. MacDonald," said Mir. Lloyd George. when the Paeifist was most unpopular, "is one of my greatest nersonal friends, and, whether he IS for the war or against the war; not one word will fall from my IDS against MT. McDonald."
 The ex-Premier's partlallty was founded on a great admiration ol talents which MT. Lloyd George, oi all men, was fitted to appreciate
 He recognized not only the more obvious endowments Of MT hanis'y ,, Macdonald, his power of speech ana his excellent Parliamentary manner hut those even rarer and more useful gifts which are displayed only Tn con farence rooms or behind the speak CTS chair.
 To be plain MT. Macdonald IS master of the whole art of the polf t,cian. of which effectively "gettias on one,s legs" and "venturing to say is but small part. He loves poii ties sas other men love chess anu n,avs it with the skill of Capa' blanca.
 1t was. I cannot help feeling, the irritation of being interrupted in tnls fascinating game that added to tne bitterness of his attitude during the Great War.
 For the war stirred up all sorts ol rude elemental things which nave no place in MT. MacDona1d's scheme The democrat was bewildered py mood of democracy which he would neither understand nor sympatnize with, and, in his bewilderment, he said and did things for which he had to pay the price of the election o1

STATES right TO TAXI
DRUGGISTS QUESTIONED
Test Suit Filed Attacking Constitu.
tlOnality Of Liquor License
Law.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 24-In test
suit filed in the Franklin circuit court
today, ]. w. Renaker of Cynthiana, at
tacks the constitutionality of the act
which requires druggists to pay an
annual license of 500 for the right to
sell Intoxicating liquor. Druggists
throughout the state will be affected
by the decision of the courts, accord
ing to attorneys here.
The action was brought against
John j. Craig, state auditor, to whom
the license of 500 is paid. Mr.. Rem
aker seeks to recover payments made
in 1921 and 1922.
In his petition, Mr.. Renaker claims
that the national prohibition law abro-
gates that section of the Kentucky
statutes which imposed the license on
druggists. Mr.. Renaker states that he
had made repeated efforts to get re-
fund on his license payne ents. but that
the auditor claimed the right to i'm
pose the tax.
Attorney General Charles 1. Dawson
said today that in his opinion the IL
cense was not affected by either the
national or state prohibition laws, ant
that the auditor should continue to re
quire payments for the privilege O.
selling liquor.
