TRANS who saw him selling pencils.
Now we are told that beggars in the
big city take more than s~36,000,000 a
e a from careless Gothamites and
transient visitors, all of which is high
ly undesirable. However 1t i'll be-
hoyoes the Charity Organization of the
city to break into the picture.
The object of the Society of course
is to put an end to the indiscriminate
giving of charity and to make itself
the sole means of charitable distribu-
ton.
The expense of distributing a dollar
through the Charity Organization,
however, has several times been
shown to be preposterously high and
its notorious wood yard and laundry
still remain a stencil in the nostrils of
many persons whose memories are
acute.
Its secret black list, distributed
'confidentially" among those who sup
port the organization also has left
none too good a taste in the mouths of
the people.
1t is now being pointed out that the
police should put an end to the beg
ging pest.
1t is known there are at least 5000
beggars in New York not one of whom
takes in less than SIS a day.
If the police do make a clean up 1t
might not be a bad idea for the courts
to sentence some of these loafers to
work on the county farm. 81 that they
may learn just where an honest living
comes from.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.
A VAMPIRE OF OUR OWN TIME.

s ~ Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.) :.

THAT the vampire f1ourishes today
L no less than in the famous times
of the past, is proved by the career
of Malyinn Vivian. She wus born a
SIaif:s:, fisher girl. who soon devel-
opc: ;:lio the beauty of her village;
A rich German. Wonler. saw her. and
according to the story. paid the girls
father l.OCO.V0 pesos for possession
of Malvina. The German took her
TO Paris and had her educated there,
particularly In dancing and singing.
And /, short time afterward he In
stalled her In a Berlin palace.
Mai,:na became the most celebrated
artist y the German stage. Her dane
ing was something never to be forgot
ten. She also was famous for her
costumes, the richest which Paris
could produce. Her patron spent mill
lions of marks upon her and she made
large sums upon the stage.
Then came the war. Malvina's
wealthy friend lost much of his for
penses. Malvina found herself on the
edge of what would have been misery
to her. But she did not descend into
the pit, for 1t was observed that she
seemed to have as much money as ev-
er, and wore Paris gowns of the latest
cut when German women were turning
last years clothes. Wonler became
suspicious. 1t was whispered that NAL
VIVA had turned spy for the allies, and
her position became dangerous. Al
though she was watched by the sharp
est eyes In the German secret service
no proof could be found.
SO Malvina went her luxurious way
through a suffering world until the
end of the war, when she again re-
appeared In the theaters. But 1t
seemed that money ran low with her
once more, and the gossips said that
the price of spies had fallen. Then
Malvina hit upon desperate measures.
She planned with a notorious thief to
rob men and homes where she could
locate The thief was
caught, confessed, and involved NAL
VIVA. She found herself in the hands
of the law for the first time, but the
fingers Of the hand opened In a mys-
terious way and Malvina went free.
Her next appearance was in the Ital-
ian Tyrol at the casino Of Meran. She
seemed to have abundant funds. In
one night she lost 100000 marks. II
was her last throw. She called for a
glass of champagne, climbed upon a
chair, and cried a toast to every n
In the casino. Then, as the surprised
crowd watched, and the distant violins
kept company to her humor. she
drained the glass and fell dead. She
had put prussic acid into the wine.
So died Malvina Vivian, vampire. 1920.

NATIONAL BUDGET ON TRIAL.

The new director of the budget,
General Lord, has before him a stan
dard of accomplishment the admins
tration points to with an excusable
feeling of pride.
The books for the fiscal year 1922
recently closed show the year began
with a prospective deficit of $24,46S,-
703 and ended with a surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures of $313 ,S01,-
651.
The national debt has been reduced
$1,041, 96S, S44, and a balance Of $272,-
105,512 remains in the general fund.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
Secretary Mellon clearly poiated out
some months ago q much Of the ~
duction OF expenditure IS merely o
postponement OF paynapntss due y I
shift IN the govsfmeht's hnancfaf
operations.
Calm analysis of the results of the
budget system do not warrant more
than than an indication in Its favor,
though certainly nothing can be said
against It. The system has not yet
been put to the test, proof of its eff
cacy being impossible to date.
With a more complete knowledge of
the resources of the government now
known and a closer tabulation on ex-
penditures that are elastic, the likeli-
hood is that the new budget which Is
now in hand will be much more accu-
rate than its predecessor.
When General Lord Is ready to re-
port, the public will be in a better
position to judge the system and its
workings and perhaps to appreciate
the groundwork laid by General
Dawes.
On its face the budget appears to be
working in favor of the American
pocketbook.

rs we announced: beginning with

While the venture has not been as
financially profitable as we had wish

been well worth while, and that the
semi-weekly paper has contributed
materially to the progress of our rap

one and all for the support given
through subscriptions and advertising,
for 1t is only through this patronage
that the twice-a-week publication has
been possible at all.

CHARITY BY THE MILLION.

The Charity Organization Society of
New York has not been slow to make
capital out of the recent exposure of
the beggar on wheels whose chauf-
feur's financial troubles led to his ex-
posture as a man who maintained an
expensive suite in one of the New
York hotels, and who, when the days
work of begging was done, strapped
on a pair of aluminium legs, donned his
evening clothes, and made merry in
the bright lights of Broadway.
1t appears, for years the man raked
in an average of 800 a day, dropped
into his tin can by sympathetic pedes-

AMERICAS GREATEST INDUSTRY

The greatest industry of this coun-
try has again started up, to u for
nine or ten months. 1t is one In which
there are no strikes. 1t depends upon
child labor, but its finished product is
good citizenship. That industry is the
American school.
The American people, whose motto
sometimes seems to be LET George
do it," have a way of turning over the
whole responsibility for this great
idealistic and practical enterprise, to
teachers and boards of education.
They kick vehemently If the children
are moi well educated, yet they never
ask If the success of this undertaking
rdoes not depend in large part on home
cooperation.
Teachers and school boards who
have to contend with parental indiffer-
ence, find that their plant turns out
only an Indifferent product.
The success of school operation can
be greatly promoted, and the children
can be prepared for more useful and
successful futures, if the homes of
Pleasantville will cooperate with
school management in these two
Ways
l. Urge your children to make their
school work their first interest. Do
not allow too much of party going,
late hours, and other distractions.
2. Back up school discipline. When
the pupils complain they are not fairly
treated, hear the teachers side before
forming an opinion.
