THE BIG LITTLE THING.

After all, it is the little things that
count-the little things that are not
little, but are big. And those who
make them big do not realize-or. they
would not be big.
The large dining room of a local
cafeteria was filled-for the most part
with soldier boys of 81. They were
tired-it is not easy, this greeting the
old comrades and tramping about. And
the tall grizzled soldier with the sun
flower in his buttonhole was hungry.
The little helper with painted cneeks,
plucked eyebrows and bobbed hair took
his tray. She found him a small ia
BILE next a window. She turned and
smiled: "Would you like to sit here?"
YEARLY he nodded assert and sank
into the chair she drew for him. She
arranged his food before him. Then
she hesitated. He still had on his hat.
But she hesitated only a second. She
bent toward him and gently, almost
caressingly said: "Now, I'll just take
off your hat and hang it right here"
As a mother to a child, so spoke the
little flapper-waitress to the veteran
"boy." Gratefully he smiled and those
who looked on smiled and blinked
back the tears. 1t was such n little
thing and such a big thing.-Milwau-

his work is no longer profitable in the
monetary sense: Such writer might
have to quit his profession temporarily,
for the sake of self-preservation. But if
he has made 4 fortune at writing, he
can make such a declaration as Maeter-
linck's only at the risk of having the
world discount the sincerity OF the phil
osophy he has given it. By the way, it
was Naeterlinck who said, many years
ago. that nothing else is so contemplate
IS scorn. And now scorn seems to de-
scribe Maeterlinck's attitude toward
those who demand frothy literature in
preference to his own masterpieces.

able sense OF the term, If it thought that
1t could get by" with gross misrepre-
sentation of facts and believed that such
a PROJECT was essential to the success Of
the party.
But the language employed BY the
committee does not, of itself, evidence
any scheme to represent the Court OF
international Justice as an agency for
the entangling of the United States in
the political affairs of Europe. The COM
mlttee may combat any effort the Cool
idge administration may make to get
this country into the court, but to con-
strue its statement as evidence of such
an intention is to betray a suspicion

A SMILES VALUE.

A Meriden. Conn.,, factory super
intendent's will was filed the other
day and discovery was made that he
had left practically his entire estate,
valued at about $4,000 to young
man who had helped to support.
himself by selling newspapers. The
story is that this youth had never
failed to give the lonesome, old man"
a smile as he passed through the
factory selling his papers, and the
circumstance had SO impressed the
latter that he has made the young
man fairly Independent through his
will. One never knows when smile
will count most in this life. People
who walk around with long faces and
never try to be interesting to other
people, never make friends. Even
their relatives fight shy of them most
of the time. A smile is the cheapest
present you can give to anyone, and
occasionally, as this. case in point
shows, it pays a good-sized dividend.
In a world where there are plenty
of things to vex and annoy, and TO
stir up unhappiness, a welcome smile
comes like the piercing rays of the
sun through the darkness of storm
clouds. Frightening up everything and
everybody that it comes in contact
with and radiates joy to the inner
most recesses of human experiences.
Thank heaven for the smiles that
you get from others and the smiles
YOU give TO others. Those who give
draw interest.-Dayton Daily News.

NOW THE LEAGUE WILL ACT

All, ha, The League of Nations is go
ing to punish Italy--lnaybe. Now tina
her dispute with Greece, which threat
ened to result in war, has been settled
through the medium of the Council o.
Ambassadors, the League is going &c
call her on the carpet. One guess as tc
whether Italy will come.
Yes-"now that" The League must
do something to reinforce its prestige
A door must be built for the key-hole
The League couldn't prevent Italy from
bombarding and occupying Corfu. "nor
neither" take her by the scruff of the
neck and boot her out of the Island.
But now that Italy has defied the
League-and oh, so successfully, too
she must be punished. Pity Teller
when he needs a friend.
The League couldn't stop a specific
act; therefore it will now undertake to
make the author of that act behave"
for all time to come. An example must
be made of Italy: punish her. and other
nations, when they feel like getting
uppity, will be scared to death to turn
hand lest the League turn them across
its knees for well-deserved spanking.
The Graeco-Italian trouble has been
thanks to the motive power of
the League of Nations, backed by world
opinion" So say the delegates at
Geneva. A policeman is commissioned
to keep the peace. He sees two men
brandishing revolvers at each other, and
making dire threats. One of them seizes
the others hat, and declares that he
will occupy" it himself forever after
unless its rightful owner gives him his
purse and kisses the dust at his feet.
The policeman holds a session with
himself to decide what he must do, il
anything. His commission counsels him
to stop the rucas, but he fears that he
may be unsuccessful, particularly mas
much as the more belligerent Of the dis
putants tells him to keep hands off.
Therefore the policeman backs away, the
while crying out that his authority is
being defied.
Along comes another person, without
commission as an officer of the law.
and settles the dispute. Then the police
man gets to thinking: 81 must punish
that unruly guy, now that the trouble
IS over; l owe that much to my pres
tige, my reputation as guardian of the
peace. Yes, the trouble is over, thanks
10 my motive power and to the backing
of public opinion; yet the law has been
violated, and it is quite time for me to
get into action"
What would be the fate of such
policeman? He would be accounted
superfluous, to say the least.

helpless in the trap. 1t was not less a
creature than that great terror of the
snow. a full-grown Arctic wolf, almost
as white as the drifts he hunted
through. Only the spruce trees knew
how this fierce and cunning hunter
came to snare his foot in the Jaws of
a marten trap. Nor could any sem
sible explanation be made why the
great wolf did not break the chain with
one lunge Of his powerful body, instead
of Sinking into the coverts and witt
ing developments. The ways OF the
wild creatures quite often fail of any
kind of an explanation and it is a
bold woodsman who will say what any
particular creature will do under any
particular condition. When he saw
Ned's body within leaping range. he
knew the desperate impulse to fight.
The chain of the trap broke like n
spring as he leaped. The steel leash
that is often used to restrain a savage
dog would have broken no less quick
ly. There was no visible recoil: what
little resistance there was seemingly
did not in the least retard the blow. 1t
did. however. affect its accuracy. That
fact alone saved Ned from instant
death.
But as the wolf lunged toward him
to complete his work-after the man
ner of some Of the beasts of prey when
they fail TO kill at the first leap-an
inner man of might seemed to waken in
Ned's prone body. a great force came
to life within him. He lunged upward
and met the wolf in the teeth.
A great surge of strength. seemingly
without physical limitation. poured
through him. In one great bound he
,vercame the deadly handicap of his

know how, he hurled that hundred
pounds of living steel from his body be-
ore the white fangs could go home.
But there was not an instant's
pause. Desperate with fury. the wolf

Utmost too fast for the eye to follow.

SUCH IS PARTISANSHIP

An attempt is being made in some
quarters to interpret a recent statement
OF the Republican national committee as
a decree against this country's joining
the Court of International Justice. What
the committee said, literary, was that
the United States would not "ioin the
League OF Nations, directly or indirectly,
or any other organization which would
drag us into the political entanglements
of Europe"
lnasmuch as the world court is the
only "other organization" which ANYBODY
has said the United States ought to Join,
one commentator reasons" the commit
tee must be preparing to combat any re-
sumption by President Coolidge of the
project espoused by the late President
Harding. Some Americans will be I'M
able to draw such conclusion from the
language employed by the committee.
The test is whether American men,
bership in any international organization
would commit this country to entangle-
ments. Mr.. Harding made it fairly plain,
even before his St. Louis speech, that
the plan which he championed would
not bind the United States to do any of
the things that would or might have been
required of it had it joined the League
OF Nations. Before the late President
had anything to say about the interna-
tional court, Mr. Hoover explained the
basis upon which it was proposed that
this country enter the court. Subsc-
qucntly, to allay fears which he deemed
groundlcss, Mr.. Harding said, in his st.
Louis speech, that for his part he would
be willing TO have incorporated in the
plan OF American membership such reser-
Vatlons as would make it Enthusiastically
plain that under no circumstances or
conditions would the United States be
obligated TO the other members to the
extent of sacrificing its own interests,
and that the United States would be the
judge of those interests.
In this light it is difficult to see how
the Republican national committee could
oppose Americas entry into the world

MAETERLINCK QUITS

The pen or typewriter, as the case may
be-of Maurice Maeterlinck, Belgian
poet dramatist and philosopher, has done
its last work. What! Is Maeterlinck
dead. No: he is the one who declares
that he will write no moreno more
books, at least. Why? In recent
statement he undertook to explain; after
reading it, one is likely to draw the con-
clusion that Maeterlinck is either de-
ceiving himself or has been fairly Sue
ccssful in deceiving the world
He will write no more, he says, &C
cording to a Paris correspondent, be-
cause there is no longer any demand for
good literature. What is called literature
falotcadays, and what the public cries for,
is 'the bunk" he thinks. He positively
will not cater to such tastes; will not
so dishonor his genius.
That is part of his explanation-the
first part. And not few authors might
well sympathize with him. 1t is all too
true that present-day tastes call for
frothy stuff" This is the jazz age;
the spirit of the gilded youth, uncurbed,
walks the earth. Literary fame that
would be denied Shakespeare is quickly
accorded flip writers with muscle-bound
brains. A song writer composes Eyes
no-bananas" monstrosity, calls it a song,
and the earth is his.
But is that any reason, or good reason,
why poets, dramatists and philosophers
with message in their hearts should let
their talents fall into disuse? Isn't it
all the more reason why they should
redouble their efforts to produce good
literature, instead of abandoning the
! field entirely to those who write merely
Tor the money there is in it?
Now consider the other part of Mae
terlinck's explanation of his avowed de-
termination to write no more:
There is no longer any money for
those who refuse to prostitute their
genius"
All! So it's money that the great,
high-principled Belgian poet-dramatist-
philosopher wants, after all. One might
have thought that his was a more al
truistic attitude; that "Blue Bird" for
example, was written primarily for the
NlOlSoOlIlS llIluSiICC II IUlSuI nave, 1ndC
Wisdom and Destiny" was intended as
generous offering to humanity, that
Life of the Bee was designed to help
human beings TO become self-reliant
and lead orderly, constructive lives, and
that he appreciated writing as a means
OF self-exprcssion.
One might have thought that Maeter-
Incl; would be glad even of such an OPP
portunity as Socrates had for getting
his ideas before the world. There were
no printing presses in Socrates day, and
no press agents. That ancient philos-
opher received not a penny for his
thoughts; rather was he prosecuted and
oppressed; he went about ragged, talk
ing to whoever would listen. and writ
ing because there surged within him an
impulse that could not be stilled. Even
in the moment of death. with the hem
lock cup raised TO his lips, he carried

Ii a poet, or dramatist, or philosopher,
and anybody else who writes, has a
message for the world that will add APP
preciably to human welfare, should he
lay down his pen either as a sign of
his scorn for the poor taste" of those
who prefer inferior literature or because
