Yesterday English troops
drilled for the last time in the
great court yard Of Dublin Castle.
The English went out, the Irish
went in, with Griffith at the
head. A new era begins. After
more than TOO years of fighting
war with the English is ended
Tor the time being at least. The
next problem Of the Irish is to
agree among themselves.

Mr. Mellon, Secretary Of the
Treasury, second richest man in
the world, advises, as did Presi-
dent Harding, a Constitutional
amendment to stop issuing bonds
that pay no taxes to the Ma
tional Government. Apparently
his views on taxes are not con-
trolled by q few hundred millions
Of his own.
Mr.. Mellon says that more
than TEN THOUSAND MIL
LION dollars of bonds are now
outstanding on which the Gov
eminent collects not one cent Of
income tax. That makes nice

with plenty Of money.
The biggest moving picture
men have succeeded in getting
Will H. Hays, Postmaster Gen.
eral, to leave the Cabinet and
become manager and adviser for
them in all things in which NOV
ing pictures affect the public.
They are said to have insured
Hays life for 100000. Com
bination activity and judgment
such as he possesses are worth
ten times that. Mr.. Hays will
get from the moving pictures in
dustry at least twice as much in
salary as President Harding gets
from the United States, and he
win earn it. The biggest edu-
eating force in the world today
is the moving picture. for it car
ries its lessons directly into the
brain without difficulty or OBJ
struction.
Miss Hazel Pose says she has
many spirits living inside Of her,
including two Japanese and two
Chinese. She sings in seven
languages, and YOU can hardly
blame her for going into vaude-
vile.
Those that laugh at the idea
of many spirits in one body for

everv child the number Of an

than the total population Of the
United States. It's remarkable
how well we survive such a mix

Recently was published in this
column an extract from a book
by high English authority,
showing that fertilization Of the
Island of Guam by the United
States could make this country
forever safe against attack by
Japan.
Now you read Of a treaty that
will specifically forbid the erec-
ton Of any American fortifica-
tions at Guam.
IL this country is to be told
nv other nations that it cannot
fortify its own land, cannot be
trusted to make itself safe
against attack, it might as well

The important Journal des De-

the world to know that "Paris is
