with melody, pep and snap will be

tertainment and whose appearance

comedy may indulge their desire to
the extent of half hour. The jazz

Fearing that neighbors in the vi
cinity of Eighteenth avenue and
Eleventh street are taking undue
credit, residents on Thirtieth street
and Seventeenth avenue claim that
they have a record which surpasses
that printed in The Argus last
night.
At least II pairs of twins live
within ten blocks from each other
ON the hill district, the report re-
ceived today says. A canvass of
this section was made last spring
and at that time, there were 10
pairs of twin children going to the
South Park Presbyterian church.
Since then, there have been discov-
cred living in the neighborhood
several older twins.
James G. Britton, 1900 Eleventh
street, reported the list of wins
living near Eleventh street, believ-
ing that within two block radius
of his home there were more twins
than in any other section of the
city.
If there were to be judgment
made between the two sides, &C
cording to the ratio of twins to the
block, the lower end of the city
would probably win, as in a space
OF nine blocks there are eight pairs
Of twins, while on the hill in a dis.
lance of As blocks, live the II twins
Parents of twin children in this
section believe Rosemary is about
as pretty a name as can be founG
for girl, since the Eleventh stree
group chose Harold for the boy
Three of the twin girls living on the
hill are named Rosemary.
The list presented by the hill
district shows that the twins wht

from his bicycle to the pavement
and all but run over when an au-

badly smashed. None of the occu-

TOLERANCE NEEDED

President Harding is right when
Ne says "if free men cannot toll
according to their own lawful
choosing all our constitutional
guarantees, born of democracy are
surrendered to mobocracy and the
freedom, of hundreds OF millions
is surrendered to the small minor
iiy which would have no law"
He might have gone a step fur
thcr. Intolerance in any form is
opposed to the tenets of American
ism. There has been decided
growth in the outcropings of intol-
-rance of late. 1t must be done
away with if America is to stand
as a great nation.
Class and creed demand the same
tolerance that is due the individual
who wants to work. All must be
recognized.

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
MUCH TO BE DESIRED

The action OF the university board
of regents in the DeBarr case leaves
much 20 be desired even though the
reprimand administered was a step in
the right direction.
The offense of this educator was most
henous, destructive alike of harmony
and the eternal proprieties. We were
advised that the vote of the board on
the resolution OF reprimand adopted
stood 10 3. 1t is limited that five
stood for dismissal, the only adequate
and proper solution Of the matter. Is
this true? II so, then we can have
vast cause to congratulate the regents
for their splendid stand, even though
majority decided for a slap on the
wrist.
But It Is likewise whispered that the
five really stood for completely exon
Grating DeBarr, while only seven could
be mustered to even reprimand. II
this is true, a condition is shown 10
exist In the board of regents quite as
inimical as that prevailing in the state
university as a result of DeBarr's poll
teal activities.
Concerning the punishment meted
out there is this to be said The reso-
luton adopted, threatening dismissal in
the future in similar cases, is in all
respects identical with resolution
adopted scv eral years ago. If the board
did not make the first resolution good
in the DeBarr case what is the threat
worth in The repeated resolution?
DeBarr could bring to an instant end
painful incident by handing in his
resignation; man unjustly accused
and unjustly reprimanded would not
find II agreeable with his honor 10
do anything less than that. But viii

WHAT MAKES 1T NEWS

Churchmen generally deplore the
fact that newspapers parade upon
the front pages the delinquencies
of the Haileyville pastor who ran
away with a nurse. Yet the very
fact that newspapers do parade it
upon the front page is the best in
dication of the healthy state of the
ministerial cloth.
If ministers, as rule, were gull
ty of things unconventional, news
papers would bury the items in
some obsAre part Of the paper. It's
the exception to the rule that makes
news.

THE REFEREE
Liquor

Everyone is talking about the Lit.

ton. Many are surprised at the great
number who confess their thirst.
The most important thing shown by
the poll IL that public sentiment is suf.
ficiently divided on the liquor aues-
ton probably to deadlock the politi-
clans. Americans do not always get
what they want. They wouldn't vote
for high taxes But they have them.
