for the collective bargaining estab-

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
You shall never be great by your selfish
deeds
And the thing which you boast as skill
And, save it is spent for a nations needs,
In vain is the iron will.
For ever the badge of the greater man
Is to sink himself for the common plan.
This is the lesson that life has taught
Since the days OF the earliest age
Who, for himself has lived and fought,
Has vanished from history's page
And all in vain was that mortals birth
Who did not better the ways Of earth
Gather your money and build your fame
And rise to the heights Of skill,
But Time shall give 70 the winds your
when your boastful voice is still;
By the joy you take you can never live,
For fame depends on the joys you give.
Trade and barter and strive for gain
And sweat for yoUr~daily bread;
But all you do for yourself is vain
When once is your stomach fed
For the world has plenty of selfish deeds,
But toll, for the common good, it needs

Why Do People Marry a Second
By DoEOTHT DHG
W0efA'e Higheso Paid Tcmaa WFtsaR.

Why Do People Marry q Second
Time?-2.
Perhaps the real reason That peo-
PIE marry a second time is. first. be-
cause they are lonely, and secondly
because they want a home.
Whatever else marriage gives, or
fails to give, it gives companionship.
When a man and woman are con-
genial, when lthey have the same
tastes, when they think the same
thoughts, have the same interests, en-
joy the same pleasures. and read the
same books, this companionship
makes matrimoDy heaven on earth.
and it is the hope of getting this COM
partnership that justifies people in
plungipg on a hundred to one shot on
a wedding ring.
But even when they are not par
ticularly congenial, even when they
quarrel and fight like the Kilkenny
cats, the married still have COM
partnership that gives a certain zest
to life. You are bound to miss your
sparring partner if he or she is taken
away from you. 1t is more entertain
ing to have somebody to scrap with
over the breakfast table than to eat
alone, and one misses even the nag
ging when nobody cares what one
does.
Moreover, as one grows old, COM
Partnerships become more and more
necessary. Young people can find
pleasure in entertainment, in dancing.
and theaters, and running around at
night, but these diversions are bores
when one comes to middle age. Then
one wishes to sit by the fire with
friend wife, or friend husband, in
stead of having to drag old bones
around in society, or else know the
dissolution of utter solitude.
Men and women marry a second
time tn get a home IT is n
tragedy of widowhood that it breaks
up a home. When a woman dies. her
husband may try to carry on with the
home. He may hire a competent
housekeeper, keep the same servants,
the food may be as good, the house
as clean as ever, but it is no longr
home. 1t lacks the little touch. the
spirit of love, the welcoming smile at
the door that made the place home.
If man dies, his wife generally
does keep up the home, but she finds
that a woman by herself can no more
make a real home than a man can
make one by himself. Her house may
be beautifully furnished, her table
well spread, but its atmosphere lacks
SAVIOR. 1t is a female asylums not a
home.
The man wants somebody to run his
home for him. The woman wants
somebody to make it worthwhile to
run a home for, and SO, they get mar
ried, for having had a home of their
own once, they are wretched without
one.
Cynical DR.. Johnson once said that
a second marriage was a triumph OF
hope over experience. I should say
that a second marriage is a triumph
of courage over fear, for second mar
riages are nearly always happier than
first marriages, because men and
women bring TO them the wisdom and
experience they have acquired I'm their
previous venture.

SCHOOL SAVINGS PLAN

The success of the school savings plan, begun about four months ago astonishes many people, That school pupils should deposit nearly thirty thousand dollars in four months, and should have still on deposit nearly S2s,oo0, is worthy of especial note Picture some 5000 pupils making de- posits weekly, and allow the imagin- ation to speculate on the effect this habit will have on those young people in the years to come.
 The saving of the money is import ant, ot course; so is the habit of thrift established. It is important, too, to inspire the young people with the de- sire to earn little money with which to swell the savings account.
 But there is a more important con- sideration still. The boy or girl who starts saving account and continues 1t, whether through this method or any other proper auspices, will be- come a more efficient man or woman, more observant of the practical de- tails of life. more orderly, more use full in all ways to self and to com munity.
 The importance of the financial side of the matter is sufficiently obvious Moreover that aspect will appeal to everyone who discusses the matter with the young. The financial side should be emphasized, of course
 But there should be a proper reali- zation of the greater good that comes through thought of the practical af- fairs of life encouraged by participa- tion in this plan of saving. With the teaching of the wisdom of accumuat- ing money, there should not be for gotten the necessity of instruction as to the responsibilities of possession of means and all the worth while, things that may be aided by it.

POLISH ORPHANS HOME.

The announcement of the fixing of the date, July Fourth. for the laying of the corner stone of the new Polish Orphans Home, brings satisfaction to all good citizens of New Britain ir- respective of race. Prospect of hap pier life to children has an immediate appeal. When those children are or phans the appeal is irresistible. And the fact that orphaned children are to be cared for, in a new and beautiful home, by people best fitted, through blood, to understand them and sur rounded by brothers and sisters of their own race, softens the tragedy of their loneliness.

THE LTE-DETECTOR

An instrument called the 'sphymo- marnometer," or lie -detector," was used the other day in an effort to de- termine whether or not a man was telling the truth in what he said about the death of his wife. The machine is said to indicate truth or falsehood through the blood pressure. Presun- ably the pressure would be high were the subject telling an untruth, nor nal were he speaking what was true.
 Few will have the temerity to de- clare that such an instrument is in- fallible. It is possible 10 conceive q person who could utter falsehood without showing any evidence of ly- ing.
 But there is no reason for believing that a machine has not been invented, CT cannot be invented, which will in dicate as a rule the truth or falsity of a mans words. When we talk to a person we judge by his appearance, his eyes, his expression, whether or not he is lying. We are apt to judge incorrectly. but we get an idea that often convinces us. to our own satis- faction. It would be quite possible for an instrument which records emo tions which we cannot see to note changes in the blood pressure of a speaker, which changes influence that expression upon which we rely and which we are able 10 see.
 One may look long at another's countenance and believe that every de- tail of it's Is noted. Yet the camera, for instance, will bring out peculiari- ties of feature which escaped us en- tirely, and an enlarged photograp of face we may know well often amaxs us
 Without placing too much conf- dence on the perfection of the lie detector," one may well believe that scince is not on an entirely wrong track in developing this machine.

NO GERMAN LOAN

Regardless of the decision arrived at by the international committee of bankers regarding the possibility of a loan 10 Germany, 1t brings satisfaction to see that there is one body of men which can arrive at definite decision. The committee has said: No, not now"
 It is characteristic of bankers to consider only the financial side of a matter. This aspect was the only one they studied, The proposition for them to consider resolved into the questions as to whether there would be proper security for loan, and whence the loan would come. The one was dependent upon the other A gov ernment might require less tangible security than would private individ- uals; or the reverse might be true, The first matter to decide, therefore, was who would be the lender, gov ernments or private concerns?
 This question was decided practical
 y before it was asked. No government is in position to loan except the United States, and loan by the Unit ed States government is out of the question. The money must come from private individuals or corpora tions.
 Does Germany offer sufficient secur- committee. after studying the repara- ton payment situation, has answered in the negative. The committee was not formed to suggest ways to the reparations commission to relieve Germany. It was not formed to sug- gest cutting down Germanys pay ments. It was not to have any politi- cal power, and quite properly so.
 It has been demonstrated that an economic conference" which becomes tangled in political discussion, can ac- complish little. The bankers, char acteristically, left such discussions out of their scheme of things. The deci- sion of the committee is simple, straightforward statement of the financial situation of Germany to the effect that Germany's security, in view of her present oblga tions and ability to meet them is not sufficient to attract capital to the extent necessary to float a large loan to her

 when the premier was admittedly in a critical condition has vanished since the specialists have pronounced his ailment curable.
 The Petrograd Soviet, in letter addressed to M. Lenine, asks him to follow the doctors orders strictly and to spend some of his time in the fields and woods.
 Meanwhile M. Kickoff and M. Tsur- upoff continue to care for the techni- cal duties of the premier's office, while War Minister Trotzky and Leo kameneff, president of the Moscow soviet, are reported to be, acting as an advisory directorate.
 Only the absolute conviction that Lenine is forever out of action would lead to the appointment of any one to succeed him permanently and 1t is now the feeling in official circles, that unless unexpected developments oc- cur the premier will be back in the thick of the nations affairs, within few months, at the most.
