IN SUNDERLAND

ONLY a relatively small number of - the 1,7OO.OO0,OOO inhabitants of this world are>really mentally awake, capable of finding their way through the labyrinthal professional and busi- ness avenues to a place of secure in- dependence.
 When the long shadows cross their paths and they discover to their dis may that the western sky is darken- ing. they rub their sleepy eyes and ruefully regret the years they have misspent in groping from pillar to post without worthy accomplishment
 They were in slumberland when the church bells rang of Sunday morn ing; they were in slumberland when in the brilliantly Illuminated bathrooms they danced to turing music with fair partners till the east was rosy, and another day came gleaming over the gorgeous hilltops and smiled benignly on pale faces and broken promises.
 They wasted drifting days which drifted into wasted years.
 Again and again they rubbed their melancholy eyes and saw in their last supine effort to reclaim them. selves that they were on the hay borderland of old age, with forty or fifty years behind them.

Jap, "White," Wants U. s. Citizenship

he is white" and is eligible for citi zenship under the law which provides that only free white person or per son of African descent or nativity may become an American citizen
 Ozawa's efforts to obtain citizenship began here several years ago. The United States District court for Hawaii denied his contention and this decision was upheld by the federal Circuit court of the Ninth district in California. From this decision he appealed to the Supreme court.
 Ozawa contended that originally Japanese were of the white race.
 Ozawa came to Hawaii when young man and was educated in the American schools here. In one of the briefs submitted here Ozawa said that he had taken special pains to educate his children in Amer ican public school in order that they might become loyal American citizens, citizenship having been ac- quired by them through their birth on American soil. He said his children had not been taught the Japanese language and that nothing pertain ing to Japan or the Japanese had been allowed to creep into their daily lives, education or theil religion"

Two Women Form the Syndicate Stable

c ARATOGA, N. Y.-The Syndicate O Stable has been a frequent pur- chaser of yearlingc at the Saratoga sales One day, for instance, the stable bought four, paying S4.SO0 for the young racers.
 Funny cracks greeted the formation of the Syndicate Stable a year ago. The wise birds called it "The Five and Ten"-among other things. Its spon- sors were two wealthy young women. They were Mrs. R. Penn Smith, Jr, daughter of the late E. H. Hartman, and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark.
 Hardened rail birds pointed out that worthwhile yearlings were selling for S1O,OOO apiece and here these two women were figuring on starting a stable with S5,O00.
 The partners agreed to limit the price of their purchases to $1,000 each. They bought nine yearlings, some of them not costing more than s2OO.
 The ladies were sentimental. As the name of their stable began with S, the horses were named likewise :: Scarecrow, Suspicion, 'Smatter Pop,

IDEA IS WORTH EMULATING
Public Spirit Shown by Citizens of Michigan Village Should Be ln-
 centive to Others.

At the next resort and tourist meet ing the name of the village of Mon- tague should be inscribed as the Abou Ben Adhem on the good book. Along the lake is an excellent park space which Montague has decided to i'm prove But the innovation is the way this village has gone about it.
 A legal holiday was declared. and almost every man in town hustled down to the park with shOvels and rakes, drays and trucks, filling in low ground along the shore in preparation for a big tree planting at other simi- lar holidays in the near future. And all the ladies served their sons and squires and sweethearts with hot cof- fee and sandwiches to keep them on the job and unfatigued. It was an arbor day de luxe. More of them are scheduled until the park becomes something tourists will talk about all the way up and all the way back.
 If every town which could be a thing of beauty instead of a main street and scatter of sheds would go in for the spirit of Montague and for a good, healthy spell of tree planting and general cleaning up, Sinclair Lewis would be in line for a fine Ses- sion of back talk.-Grand Rapids Press.

Something to Think About

hour In life who managed to turn about, pull themselves together and snatch themselves from precarious positions, but the numbers were small, for their strokes were light and their old habits were strong and hard to break.
 They lacked the staying power and the flexibility of youth. So has wagged the world and so 1t will ever wag until the crack of doom.
 If you wish to pick success, plant your orchard while in the full vigor of life so that you may gather the fruit and enjoy it while your senses of appreciation are still keen and your faculties yet alert.
 Make friends, but do your own dig ging. your own pruning and your own watering. If your friends scoff at your industry, dig all the harder, think harder and keep at your work in heat and cold.
 Seek the counsel of those who came here before you, your father and mother, for they know where your feet are likely to slip and your judg- ment is liable to err.
 Do these things without turning either to the right or the left and nothing save death can stop you in the ultimate realization of your fond est dreams, and the fine achievements of which you are capable.

Sing the Battle of the Watermelons!

CHICAGO.-Strike a martial chord - and sing. O Muse, the battle of the watermelons! The scene was at Morris Steinberg's fruit stand at the intersection of Milwaukee avenue and Rockwell street. The casus belli, watermelon purchased by the little daughter of Mrs. Mary Regesek-of the North Rockwell street Regeseks- and which, on being plugged, was pro- nounced overripe by the buyer. Back 1t went to Steinberg's fruit stand, borne belligerently by Mrs. Regesek.
 'This melon doesn't eat itself at all," announced the customer, adding with Milwaukee avenue directness: Its a rotten melon"
 q should sell you rotten melons?" protested the fruit vendor, saving the air with his hands. "Gewiss, I wouldn't do it. Look vunce where I plug him. It gives ripeness. Never was so fine a melon."
 "Take your rotten old melon. then" said Mrs. Regesek, and she hurled it at Steinberg. The bomb burst, spat- tering the fruit vendor from head to foot. He seized another melon from

 It is easy to travel about the world on steamships and parlor cars. very pleasant and profitable to the man with an inquirlng mind.
 But that is vacation occupation, and unless you have earned the money to do 1t by hard work, you will get little out of 1t.
 It Is easiest of all to feel sorry for yourself, and to think that you haven't had fair chance in life. and that you would have been a big success if you hadn't met with so much injustice and bad treatment.
 But that will get you only unhap- piness. which Is the least desirable thing in all the world.

Proper Care of Hedoes.

If you have privet hedge which Is showing the effects of age you can renew it by cutting it back hard. This seems like drastic treatment, but new wood will soon begin to grow, and within three years your hedge will be as fine as ever. You can cut it back to within foot of the ground without doing any harm, but as soon as it be- gins to grow again it ought to have a good dressing of well-rOtted manure or a liberal application of pulverized sheep manure, dug into the ground. Many people let their privet hedges grow too tall for best effects. They look most attractive when about three feet high, especially if they are kept well trimmed so that they always have symmetrical appearance.

Angel Child Sues Cold Song Writer

Shouldn't it be worth at least S25,- 900 of the mans money, now that he has got lots and lots of wampum and kale?
 Inez Ford, pretty Broadway show girl. thinks so. She has begun suit in Supreme court for $25,OO0 dam ages for breach of promise of mar riage against Benny Davis, author of "Margie," "Angel Child" Make Be lieve," Sweetheart" and other popu- lar hits. What hurts most, Inez says, is that she was the inspiration.

Upon the outcome of the test case rests the disposition of several other similar suits in which Japanese have attempt ed to become naturalized.
 Ozawa contends that he is entitled to citizenship on the ground that he has sought to mold his life along strictly American lines In accordance with the best American customs and ideals, and on the further ground that

HOME R5 q TOWN Eg zzz] HELpSRJ ]
TO DEVELOP SAMPLE TOWN"
No Really Great Problems to Be Solved in the Establishment of Model
 Community.

When we have studied our existing towns, generaliZing from numbers and showing the best we have done so far; when we have taken hold with will to make such improvements as we can in our stubborn, old-established towns, great new social service can be done by developing a sample town"
 This sample town should appear to be perfectly ordinary industrial town, preferably with some new fac tory with it's employees placed where it could have land or water cOmmuni- cation with the rest of us. It should have an agricultural base in the sur rounding country, as any town does after a fashion. Then the problem to be worked out would be the economic balance between local supplies, which save in transportation, and such i'm ported supplies as might save in other ways.
 A good kindergarten and school ought to have 20 children at least, properly to use two first-class teach CTS. To keep up that average num- Der of children requires about 200 women, since about ten women is the average number required to supply one child a year. Two hundred fam flies means about a thousand persons, good number to base our calculations upon; and POO houses, grouped about their necessary public buildings, form a very pleasant little village.
 One central building, economical, but beautiful, could house many of these. All should be grouped conveniently about pleasant little park.
 The economic problem to be worked out is something like this: How few persons out of our 400 adults are suf- ficient to do work not immediately pro- ductive such as cooking, teaching, preaching, keeping the store and the library? How much must be earned by those who produce raw materials or manufactured articles for sale, in order to support the whole group? At how little expense can heat, water light and service be provided to such a group?-Charlotte Perkins Gilman in The Century.
