A Spelling Lesson.

Once upon a time there was a stub
born student who refused to learn to
spell.
But always the teacher pleaded with
the student and often said:
You will suffer some great inconven-
ience, if not actual tragedy, some time.
by reason of this refusal of yours TO
study 0rthography
Yet still the student was obdurate,
and said ''blah.
One day, after the obdurate student
had grown to manhood, he poisoned him

And when the teacher who had now
grown old and toothless teaching Or

"Uh huh / told him so,''

WORLD L.EAGUE:
PLAN PUSHED
Would Link Together All
Those in League and Also
NOn-MemberS

GRENOBLE. Aug. 2S (By The
world association of states" to
link together the League of Nations
which are members of neither was
submitted today to the institute of
here by Professor Alexandra Alvarez
of Chile.
The new association would be
super-imposed upon the present
league and Pan-American union and
would seek TO encourage regional
and continental groups rather than
attempt to replace them entirely. 1t
is designed to meet the American
objection to the League of Nations
with the primary purpose of coordi
mating the states of the world and
not establishing a super-state.
. The inadequacy of the present
league, az world grouping, was
frankly recognized, and it was deem
ed wiser to let it remain as a sort of
European organization. The insult
ficiency of the league was declared
to be based largely upon the atti-
tude of the United States, together
with the absence of Germany and
Russia and further because an error
had been made in attempting to set
up Immediately complete and fn-
ished organization when the details
must of necessity take time and eX-
perience.
Other objections urged against the
league were that it limits the SOW
oreignty of its member states. makes
admission and withdrawal too diiii-
cult, and takes a too exclusively Eu
ropean view of things. The report
holds that amendment of the league
is too difficult as the experience of
the Latin-American members has
shown.
While the league has many merits
its operation, the report finds. has
tended rather to separate than to
draw Europe and America closer
together. Europe, it is held, needs
an international organiza ton more
than America does for Europe is
less stable politically and there is
more rival ambition.

phoned to the Cline home before
driving there.

ents home today and it was report

her by Bergen, which Cline claims
was the reason for the killing.

self defense, his counsel indicates.
Prosecutor Hart said he would
ask for an early trial. Bergen's
body was taken to New York today

GREAT FUNERAL.
GIVEN COLLINS
Irish Leader Laid to Rest as
His Countrymen Mourn
Their Great Loss

DUBLIN, Aug. 2S (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Michael Collins was
laid to rest today in Glassevin after
a demonstration such as has been
seldom seen in the long centuries
of Irelands troubled history.
Arthur Griffith was buried with all
the honors due to a great leader;
Collins went to the grave amid the
tears of nation that worshipped
him personally as a gallant young
patriot in whom were combined all
those traits which Irishmen hold
dear.
Good humor. the power Of oratory
and a laughing disregard for death
all were his-and while amid
throngs that filled the cathedral and
lined the route to Glassevin, congre-
cations gathered in every city. town
and hamlet throughout the land to
mourn his passing.
1t was a military funeral. Fellow
officers last night had bourne the
body into the cathedral just as Col
Inns a short fortnight ago helped
bear the body of his colleague,
Griffth.
They had stood guard all night,
and were there this morning when
tHe solemn requiem hlgl mass was
celebrated before a multitude which
overllowed the edifice into the street
Richard Mulcahy. the new chieftain
to whom all Ireland now looks;
General ODuffy. new chief of staff
and General McKeon, the "black-
smith of Ballinalee," whose dash
and fire have awakened enthusiasm
akin to that won by Collins himself.
After absolution. the body was
borne from the church and placed
in the gun carriage and as it passed
along the route to Glasseven many
knelt in homage. The crowd packed
every street along the way. They
filled every window.
The cortege was impressive. First
came an advanced guard from ma
tional army cavalry, then several
hundred persons. a firing party of
Dublin guards. and then the gun
carriage with the body surrounded
with its guard of honor.
Numerous delegations followed,
representing all activities and num-
erous organizations. The body was
buried in the plot of ground reserv-
ed for those who have fallen in the
cause of the Irish Free State in the
existing wars of rebellion.
