Stated in general way that one can easily
carry to his mind, the debt payment plan work
ed out by the American and British Commits
sioners will require Great Britain to pay about
Sl6l 100000 year for the first ten years and
about $182,000,000 year thereafter for 81
years. When spread over long period of
years, the amount is relatively insignificant.
1t is far less than half what the United States
pays out each year on the Veterans Bureau.
1t is only one fifth of the amount we shall be
paying out each year in interest on our public
debt. 1t is only about three fourths of the
amount we spend every years for pensions.
England can pay the amount and never miss it
from her treasury.

The Referee
WEATHER.

Dodger Dolon's uncle writes from
Prince Edward Island, Canada: The
snow here is 5 to 10 feet deep on the
level, but it's piled up about 80 feet
high along the railroad tracks. It's
a reasonably mild winter, oply 80 be-
low zero as l write. But we're all
dreading the big spring thaw, when
the snow will turn to an ocean of
slush."
You might keep this in mind, as
an antidote when our own weather
seems cantankerous.

THE CHARM
BY BERTON BRALEY

THERE'S lots of things love her forher enderness and
The joy that the beauty of her face
The lips that soft kiss the voice like to hear;
She has myriad wchere that make her sweet and DEAR
But think, than other charm of hers prize
The little laughing wrinkles the of her eyes!
THEY from the first theyll<hod to the last
= happy wholesome magic lure that binds fast,
And by the gods of cheerness and warmheared mrth
I'll strive to bring happiness for all that worth;
I'll try to keep all the skill lover devise
Those little laughing the of her eyes!
TOGETHER will laugh through life and bravey be
Well chuckle in face of fate and grin at destiny
Endeavorng ma world perhaps little bit
More froicsome and SUMMER we've lived in it,
And all Of our posterity will have, l surmise,
little laughing wrinkles eyes!

CHEATING HIMSELF.

Word comes over the cable from Germany
that Prof. Rontgen, discoverer of the X-ray
and who died and was cremated recently, spent
his last years in poverty.
He refused to patent his discovery, believing
it so valuable that he should give it to the world
without making profit from it himself His
chief income when he died was pension OF
$50 year. He lived at the home of friend
r We have tremendous respect for Prof Ront-
gems high idealism. We do not believe that his
wonderful brain was capable of having the ode
Walton from normal" that makes egomaniacs
desire to pose as martyrs Nevertheless he
was a martyr, a victim of his ideals
He was honest with the world.
But was he really honest with himself?
From cradle to grave we have the theory of
honesty drummed into us. Did you ever OBJ
serve that mostly this drumming has to do with
honesty in our relations to others-and that
little is said about honesty to ourselves?
4 It is dishonest to do less or to give less than
we are paid for, making due allowances for
B the profit system which is indispensable under
our present system of economics.
1t is dishonest to steal

worth - again making allowances for the nee.

And it also is dishonest, to ourselves, to do
\ or give materially more than we are paid for
Stripped of bunk, there is nothing admirable
In Old Faithful who slaves his life away at s65
month on job that should pay him S100
That's an unfair arrangement, and anything
unfair is form of dishonesty This probably
will be called radical, by people who utilize
force of circumstances to exact exorbitant
profit from the unfortunate who cannot help
themselves.

Theological Seminary in the Jewish life

As il he had been forewarned he
swung intc the answer.
1.-The Seminary corresponds to the
old Jewish ideal of an academy for the
training of learned men. In that re-

the institutions which the early Ameri-

what they felt to l,c their greatest need,
once they had settled themselves and
felt n degree Of pefmanency in their
new homes. Just as Harvard College
of Massachusetts. and Yale. and the
University Of William and Mary in vir-
ginia were founded TO train a learned
ministry. so the Jewish Theological
Seminary was foundesl 10 years ago for
