The college magazine is a pleas
ing innovation in the modern
educational world. 1t offers an
outlet, in, a dignifed way, for the
products Of youthful mental eff
fort, and it encourages budding
literary talent. In these ways the
college paper or periodical pos
sesses considerable potential
value. At times, however, the
student mind is allowed too free
an excursus into the pleasant
fields of life and, like young colt,
it often runs amuck. This is what
happened i'll the February issue of
Ski-U-Mah, college publication of
the University of Minnesota.
Without even appearing to be
grabbed or fossilized, one may be
permitted to criticize a short story
in this magazine, entitled. "Val-
entine.' Ordinarily such effu-
sions scarcely can expect to- be
given prominence in the general
press. But Valentine deserves a
slight rebuke, and for many rea-
sons.
In the first place, it is a quite
amateurish handling of an old
theme: Garden of Allah stuff
hauled out for a student holiday
and dressed grotesquely. Appar.
entity it offered a slight conces.
sion to the spirit of pruriency
which is it's only reason for pub.

But the feature that completely
damns this tale is its unfair pres

and its sacrifice Of all Christian
sense in portraying Valentine il
such an ldiotic role. Not that mel

HAD JUST BEEN GOING ALONG
Ebcnezer's Explanation Surely Should
Have Carried Weight, Under
the Circumstances.

Ebenezer Washington was up before
the city recorder for being drunk.
The judge looked at him for n mo-
ment and said: you have beer up
here twice for being drunk. Ebenezer,
and, seeing you are an old man, / am
going to let you of with a fine of 50.
Now, see that you don't come here
again. It's the road, If you do"
The old negro thanked him and
walked out of the court room.
The next morning Ebenezer was up
in court again for being drunk. His
case was called. The judge looked at
him reprovingly and remarked
"Ebenezer, / told you not to come up
mere again and here you are. Have
you anything to sayT"
The old negro looked up and replied
mo, sab, jedge, only dat dis am de

MALE SHOPPERS ARE WISE
City Grocery Clerk Denies 1t Is Easier
to Make Sales to Men Than
to Women.

"Whoever says that It is easier to
sell groceries 20 men than to women
Is not acquainted with the facts,'' said
a grocery clerk the other day. I've
seen cartoons in the papers of hus-
bands bringing home cleansing powder
instead Of rat poison and forgetting
half of their wives orders, but I've
never seen 1t in real life.
"Men are hard customers. l think
they read more about the cost of foods,
particularly advertising, than women.
They seem to know the different
brands better, at any rate. I've often
substituted brands for a housewife,
only to be refused by her husband
when | tried it again. I'd rather at.
tempt to talk a woman into buying a
new brand of canned peas, for exam
pie, than to face her husband with the
same sales talk. The male shoppers
know too much about food-perhaps
because they do most of the eating."-

TT, as now seems likely. the crisis in
L the Near East passes without war
fare between Turkey and Great Brit
ain the credit may be given largely to
two men and to the good Judgment of
their governments In giving them a
free hand. Those two are General
Harrington, commander Of the British
forces there. and NJ. Franklin-Boull-
Ion, the skillful Frenchman who nego-
tiated the prelimlnaries to the arms
tice conference at Mudanla. Between
them they are succeeding In bringing
about n peaceful. settlement and at the
same time Saving face" for their
countries. This latter, OF course, was
scarcely needed for France, but Eng
land had TO recede' from the position
assumed for her by Premier Lloyd
George and is now enabled to do so
fairly gracefully.
Since Ismet Pasha. representing the
Turkish Na~tionalists, was quite con-
ciliatory, M agreement was speedily

fnils to do so the allies will blockade

straits to push the Greeks out. This
plan seemed to give assurance Of

but on Thursday Ismet Pasha sud
denly changed his attitude and vehe-
mently demanded hat the Turkish
army be allowed to enter Thrace Inn
mediately. He would not listen 10 the
arguments OF General Harrington. and
h result was n temporary rupture of
The conference. The allied generals
asked their governments for further
instructions and meanwhile they re-
turned To Consfnntlnople.
The fighting spirit of the Greek army
In Thrace has been revived and both

they can successfully resist occupation

THE United States has sent 10 de

inforce our naval fleet there and help
in protecting life and property, but
there is not the remotest chance of
Americas being drawn into war there.
Bishop James Cannon of the Metho-
dist church, South, sent rather hysteri-
cal cables to the State department
from Constantinople urging militant
Intervention to ave Christians in the
East from Turkish massacres. In re-
ply Secretary Hughes said the govern
ment had lone and was doing all 1t
could in this way through representa-
tions and by helping in the evacua-
tion of the refugees from Smyrna.
He concluded:
"As you are probably aware. he
executive has no authority to go be-
yond this and there has been no ac-
ton by congress which would justify
this government in an attempt by
armed forces to pacify the Near East
or to engage in acts of wal in order
to accomplish the results you desire
with respect to the Inhabitants of that
territory and to determine the prob
lens which have vexed Europe for

THE American Bankers associa-
l. ton, in annual convention in New
York, was addressed on the subject of
the allied wal debts by Rt. Hon. Reg
inald McKenna, former chancellor of
Great Britain, and now chairman of
the largest bank in the world. He
said England was able to pay her
debt TO the United States in full and
would do so, but he suggested that
the bankers use their influence in
favor of postponement of payment by
any others of our creditors. Mr.. Me
Kenna warned his hearers that an at
tempt to enforce payment of the var
debt beyond the ability of the debtor
nations to pay would be fraught with
the most serious consequences for the
United States, as well as the countries
of Europe. There would be an inev-
liable injury to the international
trade of the whole world, reduced
profits, lower wages, and unemploy-
ment, lower standards of living.
AS a solution of the problem he
suggested that "a full and frank" con-
ference between the debtor and cred
itor nations should be called in order
to discover the exact amounts that
could ultimately be paid by the ma
lions unable to meet their debts in
full.
After Il warm debate, the associa.
ton adopted by a viva voce vote a res
olution declaring that 1T viewed with
alarm the tendency toward the es-
tablishing of branch banking in the
United States and expressed its oppo-
sition to any branch banking in any
form by either state or national banks.
The banks of the towns and smaller
cities were far too strong numerically
for the big bankers who protested that
branch bank system must prevail. John
III. Puelicher of Milwaukee was elect.
