Lord Dunsany 10
Lecture TO ConUince
People Upon Poetry

"And the human feelings are
the raw material of poetry.
'Poetry is actually made out az
whatever emotions may have been
most profoundly stirred in the
hearts of men, women and chill
dren in any period on which the
poet may have been able to lay
his hands.
Poetry is made Of our inner
most feelings, and they are nearer
to us than our boots, our cloth
ing, our cash, or anything that
our cash can buy
MAN may prefer many mater
ial things to poetry, and yet the
value of all these material things,
apart from the obvious necessities
Of life, is the pleasure to be de-
rived from them.
"Poetry is concerned mainly
with the delight that people get
from all manner of objects, pu
that it is more valuable to a man
than the most material things, be-
cause it is directly concerned with
his pleasure. Money, at the best,
will only bring it to him indi-
rectly.
What's the darned use OF poe
try?' is the question people ask
me. Well, I have been trying to
give the answer"

The Grocery Bargain
Counter New Selling
Stunt at the Peo-
ple's Cash Store

For all thrifty this promises to
be a most unusual novelty and
money saving idea, which has been
originated by the Peoples Cash
Store. a so-called Bargain Counter,
where goods Of staple and desir-
able quality as handled by the
Peoples Cash Store will be placed
on display. These will be alter
mated every other day with differ
ent articles. The prices will be
plainly marked, and every house
wife will have the same opportun-
ity in picking over the edibles as
she did when she went bargaineer
ing in the Dry Goods Stores. Many
of the standard articles will some
times be priced even as low as
one half its regular value.
When asked the practicability
of this system, it has been under
stood that the advertising on vari-
Gus grocery articles will be so linn
tied as to allow these drastic re-
ductions.
Beginning Tuesday morning
and continuing daily, this new
system will take place. Come early
in the morning and look over the
long range Of articles.-Adv.

on the result of the game:
Il am entirely satisfied with
the showing my men made against

had had few more breaks they
would have won."
"My men put everything they
had into the game with Washing

"but could not penetrate the east

Favors Selection
of Immigrants
at Foreign Ports

q Washington, Jan. 3-Secretary
Of Labor Davis favors an act OF
congress whereby the status OF the
immigrant to the United States
can be determined before he sails
for this country.
The tragedies Of families sep
arated and hopes Of a new found
freedom disappointed are daily
cast up as flotsam and jetsam in
the weltering tide Of humanity
that flows through the immigrant
station.
For the sake of humanity the
standing of the immigrant ought
to be determined before he leaves
his own country" said secretary
Davis. Il sincerely hope that some
system for selection on the other
side may be worked out and law
for putting it in effect placed up
on the statute books at an early
date"
The work Of the immigration
officer has been complicated by
the new immigration law which
provides that not more than GER
tain quota of immigrants from
any one country shall be admitted
within the year. Some thirteen
countries, or groups of countries
already have their quotas for the
year exhausted-but still barred
immigrants continue to come.

Strict Propriety

by Women's Dean

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 3.-When
are the morals and ideals OF CO.
eds above reproach?
When they do not kiss promls-
cuously, do not dress immodestly
do not dance improperly, do not
smoke, do not go to "petting par

of any institution.
At least this is the judgment OF
Elizabeth Conrad, dean of women,
Ohio State university.
She believes a girl undermines
her womanliness if she does any
of the above e-mentioned things.
In so doing is the girl not for
feiting the esteem of friends whose
ideals are high that she may gain
in the field where lower ideals pre-
yail?" Dean Conrad asked.

Lloyd's Insuring
English Families
Against Sickness

London, Jan. 3.-You can now
insure against operations. The III
nancial horrors, at least, of the
surgeons knife have been re-
moved.
A city firm of brokers has
evolved scheme which ensures
to insured persons seized with sud
den illness the payment of ex-
penses up to $500, including four
weeks convalescence at $40 a
week.
Families can be insured at 15s
per annum for the head and rs Cd
for each additional member. The
cost of insuring individual cases is
15s per annum.
All dental operations are ex-
cluded under the scheme, nor will
any claims under $50 per paid.
The questions on the proposal
form make it clear that while all
claims on unforeseen operations
Will be paid out, claims on pre-
meditated operations by prospec-
tive policy holders cannot be un-
dertaken,
""The idea originated" the in
surance broker said lin the fact
that my wife, three children and
finally my niece all fell victims to
appendicitis within a few weeks.
The cost of this, some $25O0, set
me thinking. My scheme is the
outcome and have insured all
my family, The scheme has been
underwritten by Lloyd's."
