RISES IN DEFENSE OF FLIRT
According to English Author, Tickle
ness Is Simply Natural Desire
to Be Liked by All.

IT like being adored," she said.
seven though l dislike the person who
adores me"
"You can express that more simply
by saying, I'm a f1irt, said Philip.
'Gut it's such an ugly word. Be
sides, everyone likes being adored !;
everyone is a flirt in that. sense. It's
only the people who never are adored
who cali sit flirting. They would like
to be adored, but as they can't, they
call the rest of Us rude names. But
it's no use going about trying to be
adored because nobody has the least
idea as to how to set about it. It's
not the least use being kind and hon
est and amiable, for that only makes
you mildly popular while the most
,disagreeable people get worshiped.
And it isn't any good being beautiful,
/ dare say beauty hurries people up,
because there is obviously something
rather attractive about it. but it's not
a bit ct good by itself. Perhaps
brains have got something to do with
it, or is there a sixth sense which d.
reefs it all?"-From Lovers and
Friends" by e. f. Benson.

PUT HIS FOOT IN IT
Callers Comment on Matter of Time
Somewhat Embarrassing to
All Parties Concerned.

We had been spending the evening
with acquaintance with whom we
had but little in common. In conse-
quence, the time seemed to drag in
terminably, and when my wife asked
me the time 1 glanced thankfully at
my watch.
The hands indicated 8 80. I looked
again, shook it and held it up to my
ear.
Funny" I muttered, "the darn
thing seems. to have stopped. Accord
ing to this it's only 8 30"
The hostess laughed a little as she
referred to her watch. That's ex-
actly the time / have, too, and that's
the time the clock over there on the
piano says guess, maybe"-s she
didn't finish, but merely laughed.
Since then when she asks the time,
l tell it without any comment. It's
less embarrassing Baltimore Ameri-
can.

NOTED PRELATES IN LONDON
Leo XIII and Plus XII Said to Have
Been Familiar With the British
Metropolis.

The new pope, Plus XI. visited Lon-
don as well as Oxford in early life,
in the latter place especially the great
Bodleian library naturally attracting
such great scholar. He was himself
librarian of. the great Vatican library,
and known everywhere as a booklover.
1t was said that the late Pope Leo
XIII knew his way about London bet
ter than great many natives, as he
had spent much time there before be-.
ing raised to the papacy, exploring
the slumg and other problems in the
metropolis.
Pope Leo XIII was the only one OF
that exalted rank who ever sat in the
British house of commons and in the
distinguished strangers gallery, at
thar. He also is said to have enjoyed
the hospitality of Lord Palmerston
under that distinguished statesman's
own roof. That was. of course. before
his exaltation to the papacy.

Prior to this year the appropriation for the in
dyidual forests controlled and operated by the
Forest Service have been carried in something like
139 separate forest items. In accordance with the
suggestion made by the Forest Service to the Di
rector Of the Budget, the items for the 139 in
dividua forests have been consolidated into eight
forest-district items without any increase in the
total appropriation for the forest with this ex
ception, that there is alocated to the current APP
preparations in these districts additional APP
preparation of $4,000, which is divided in this
way: $4,000 additional for fire guards. $4,000
for additional technical in these forests where
the sales of timber are increasing likely to in
crease; $4,000 for additional employment in con-
nection with the grazing in the national forests.
The committee in part Influenced in granting
this increase by the fact that the air patrol serv
ice, which has heretofore been conducted by the
War Department in the national forests and in
conjunction with the Forest Service, will be dis
continued next year.
In 1921 the receipts from the sale of timber
amounted to $1,775901, as compared with S2O67,
295 in the preceding year. while the receipts from
the grazing privileges il 1920 were $2,486040. 1t

total appropriations carried in this bill for the
Forest Service is $685., 302 as compared with an
expenditure last year, including deficiencies, Of
$6,9903O2.
There is one considerable reduction on the face
of this bill in the items for the extension of actiy
ties Of the Department Of Agriculture along the
line of the work now being done under the Smith
Lever Act. These items carried in four
separate items The first of these items carried
$715,720 and was for farm demonstration work
in the North. The second carried $634,80O for
the same sort of work in the South under a gen
eral title of boll-weeyi eradication and CONTROL
the third was a small item of $16360 carried for
supervising expenses in connection with the eX-
tension services of the Government and the fourth
was general item of $1,500000, which was orig
inally made for the purpose of advancing the
maturity of the SInith-Lever Act by three years.
The first three items have been consolidated in
one item in this bill with a reduction of $53,2S0
and the fourth ITEM which is now the second item,
has been reduced from $1,500,000 to $1000,000,

WHY COMPLAINT!

Those impatient people who COM
plain about late trains on American
railroads will probably settle into an
amazed silence and speak no more
about such paltry matters when it is
stated that, according to dispatches,

puffed into its home station p days

many illusions, but this beats them all.
