 It was understood that the reports turned in by the experts were opposed to the French indemnity demands.
 While the French cabinet in Paris has approved of the stern policy of Premier Poincare. it was reported that the French might modify their demands

Chesterton came over and told us how little we knew, and took a bunch of Americans money home with him as a result, which proves that he iS right or we would not have passed him out our hard-earned kale. Dickens and Thackeray long ago flagellated us with benevolent satire.

MALE AND FEMALE FLAPPERS

4 New Yorker, Rev. Mercer, speak ing in California churches, is rapping the male and female flappers, awful hard. and while he is unduly severe. as ultra pious people are ape to be, he tells some startling truths and points out some wells which it will be well to check before they get any worse.
 This reverend gentleman asserts that the modern he and she fiappers are the greatest curse of the age and are sending the nation to ruin If not eliminated their shallowness, their cheap ideals. and their frivoity will send America the way Rome and Babylon went The girl flapper with skirts up to her knees. her face paint ed and her brazen manners, and the male counterpart with his gaudy silk shirt and greased hair, who is more concerned about the cut of his clothes than his character or immortal soul are modern types that reflect upon this age of materialism and are a shame and disgrace to the nation. It is an age of female immodesty, he says. and bodes ill for the future mothers of our children. It is an age of money madness, of disrespeet for law. of gross lack. of home training on the part of parents and of loose mar riage laws It is an age of juvenile crime, as more than 60 per cent of all crime is now committed by mere youths under P years of age. His remedy is return to the simple gospel of olden days.
 Much of this is true, but it is not the boys and girls. who are to blame near as much as it is we, their par ents. We it is who have gone money mad, not the children, and we neglect our families because of that and other things We are out joyriding and at the theaterS, lodges and parties when we ought to be at home looking after our children, whom we allow to gad the streets at all hours of the day and night and grow up as best they can. There k DO such thing as cha aperonage any more but instead we turn OUT girls loose at tender age, and if they learn deyiment instead of that which is good it is our own fault | is the parents who deserve the lash of con demnation not the children.

THE "OUTLAW STRIKE"

Attempts to classify tie present
strike of railroad shopmen as an "out-
law strike" have some merit, but
they would be deserving of more con-
sideration if the railroads had clean
hands in the matter.
The railroad labor board as estab-
lished in 1920, has nine members,
three representing labor, three the
employers, and three the public. Ev-
cry wage decision must have the ap-
proval of five members, of whom at
least one must be a public representa-
tive. The board not only may, but
must, hear all disputes which are like
ly to tie up traffic. 1t has the power
to investigate and summon witnesses,
but it has no power to enforce its
decisions. The only pressure which it
can bring to bear is the pressure Of
public opinion, and that force it is
now seeking to invoke.
The chairman of the board has is
sued a statement setting forth the
