Gets High Honor

Tribute on Wesleyan Graduate

The order of St. Gregory the Illum-
nator, the highest award in the gift of
the Catholics of the Armenian church
has been conferred by Kevork V on Cap

spicuous in state military circles, serv-
ing with Company F, Fist Connecticut
Infantry, in the Spanish American war.
The recognition was accorded Captain
NARROW in his capacity as director gen.
caucasia. His assistant, Mrs Veronica
Harris, was similarly decorated The
award, which is the highest that the Ar
menian churchman can grant, was given
as a token of gratitude for American eff

served for many years as missionary

at the Hartford Theological Seminary

the world war he served in Siberia with
the Red Cross.
Captain Yarrow and his assistants

The GirI and the Phone-2.
BY DOROTHY DIX
Hishest Paid Woman "

Inc NEAKA anu tAae EllOAe7-s.
Yet what is the poor devil of a fell
low to do when the girls he likes and
goes with. call him up?" continued
this young man. He can't insult
them and tell them for Heavens sake
to get off the wire ana let MIN alone.
He can't say to his boss that he never
calls UP a girl in business hours, and
that he can't help it if he is pursued
over the wire. He is just the poor
goat whose chances in life are being
electrocuted by girls who are afflicted
with acute telephonitis.
'tAnd the telephone is the bane of
the young mans life socially, as well
as in business. 1t used to be that a
man could call on girl, or not, as he
pleased, and that was the end of ii.
No questions were asked. Also in his
leisure a man could go where he likes,
and he was at liberty to choose the
lady to whom he paid attention.
Those were the good old days be-
fore the invention of the telephone.
Now women do their husband hunt
ing over the telephone.
1.-THE snare they lay for q man is
made OF copper wire, and he has got
just as much chance to escape the
moose as the braided calf has to
escape the lariat of the expert cowboy
at a roundup.
when you don't go to see a girl,
she doesn't infer from that that you
don't want to see her. She calls you
up and asks you why. You perjure
yourself like a gentleman about being
busy tonight. She asks. Why not
come tom orrow night You lie about
having an engagement for tomorrow
night. She says, What's the matter
with the next night?' You reply that
you are sorry but your mother is COM
ing to town that night She sweetly
replies that she will look for you the
night after then, and, seeing that
every chance of making a getaway
is gone you say desperately, oh, darn
it, I'll come tonight 49,.
Take it from me that the real rea-
son of the decline in matrimony is
because so many girls have the tele-
phone habit. There is simply moth
ing that man hates and loathes as
much as having women phone him
because they always seem to hit the
exact psychological momen when it
is most irritating to be disturbed. 1t
is just when you are in the midst of
an important business deal, or have
lighted a. good cigar, or your dinner
has just been put on the table, that
you are called away to answer the
phone.
Furthermore, no man likes to be
pursued, and when it is done at long
distance that doesn't even give him
a sporting chance of escape, it rouses
all his fighting blood. Moreover, he
is absolutely afraid to marry a girl
with the telephone mania for fear 1t is
a chronic complaint
so if had a sister 1 would teach
her to avoid the telephone as if it
were a loaded bomb that would ex-
plode If she touched it, and blow
her matrimonial chances to smither-
eens.'

The increase in the price of WOOL,
(which has been very noticeable in the
spast few months. is explained byssta-
t!stics just issued by the department
of agriculture. showing that the con-
sumption OF wool in the United States
in 1921 was 100000 pounds more
Than in 1920. This includes wool of
all grades. These figures prove, it is
pointed out, that the price of farm
products is largely determined by the
consumption Of those products in the
limited States. rather than by the vol
pune of foreign. exports. But when the
price OF wool declines. that circum-
stance is usually explained by saying
that it s due to an inadequate tariff
duty and the sheep industry again is
consigned to ruin.
