Calls on Girls to Wed

To the Editor Of The Star:
On one OF the busiest corners OF the
city Of Washington there stands each
evening between and fine, tall lad

piled beside him, topped by a cigar box

gratefully to my interest. Bitterly he
told me that there was no hope of arti-
fetal arms for him. as his own had been
dragged from their sockets. He said
that he had neither father. mother nor
home: that he lived in a furnished room
and hired man to take care OF him: ]
advised him to marry, nut ne looked
very doubtful of finding any girl un-
selfish enough TO undertake the low
ing service. Yet think how sorely he
needs the ministration of tender
hands.
And why shouldn't girls marry
such? In the service of mankind this
boy has parted with Oe most indis-
pensable members OF the body. Here
is an opportunity for some fine. un-
selfish girl. who perhaps is also alone
in the world-to live a life of beauu-
full service in return for r. home. a
husband and wealth OF anectlon
and gratitude. And what more can
any true woman ask than to be use
full and to be loved. Perhaps some girl
earns enough for herself and little
more. Perhaps the boy gets pension.
Apart. these two lead empty lives.
Jnited-neither would be lonely or
homeless or unloved any more.
In this country there are $4,000 war

Punished,

mCI 4bOuSC &AooooSAAS oAu5U ~
Punished.
A general demand that the entire
responsibility for the crimes in More
house parish, La, attributed generally
to the Ku Klux Klan, be fixed is
voiced by newspapers everywhere
throughout the United States.
I'VE care not what the victims of
these mob murders may have done"
insists the Danville Register, "the
murders themselves cannot be pal
lated or condoned. 1t is no longer
exclusive business of the people and
the courts and the law authorities of
Louisiana; It is the unacceptable OBJ
legation of the people of the whole
country, more especially of humane
and Christian people. not alone to de-
nounce these crimes, but to clamor
for the extreme punishment of all In
volved in committing them" It Is the
opinion of the Chattanooga Times
however, that at is resentment against
the action of the governor and not
sympathy with the mob" which has
caused indifference at Mer Rouge"
and 1t holds that st is humiliatinG as
well as a demoralizing thing for the
authorities, of southern states es-
pectalIy. to be thus admitting that
they are not able to manage their own
internal affairs" This all may be
true. but the Hartford Times believes
that "the normal, human. friendly
give and take of village life has been
superseded by unnatural hate and
fear" at Mer Rouge, and this Is the
Ku Klux paradise, the logical con-
sequence of masking, intolerance,
bigotry and mumbo-jumbo." And the
Harrisburg Telegraph suggests that,
inasmuch as "the Ku Kux has little
to recommend, it probably will die
out for lack of an issue"
The developments in Louisiana have
dealt "a death blow to the klan," the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat feels, and
"the publicity attending these bar
barous murders has been complete
and pitiless at every stage and is
most fortunate, for there is no doubt
that there are thousands of members
of the khan who have been led into it
in the belief that it's purposes are
wholly righteous, and who will not
rest under an implication or suspicion
that they are in any way a party to
crime" Looking at the situation from
a neighborly viewpoint, the New Or
leans State feels that "the trials, in
the interest both of the state and the
prisoners, should be held in some
other parish. Their result will decide
whether or not we are to have order
ly government or invisible govern
ment-whethsr the state is to be su-
preme or the administration of JUS
tice is to pass into the hands of a
masked mob" If the trials definitely
connect the khan with assassination -
the Scranton Times is convinced its
"end" will be in sight, but 'in the
meantime there is q plain duty con-
fronting liberal, c1ean-minded intel

BRIEF MENTION

Motor vehicles in the United
States carry six times as many
passengers as the railroads. They
also transport 400, 100000 tons
of freight, 80 per cent as much as
is handled annually by the railroads.
Three of every 10 persons living
between Fiftieth and Twenty-eighth
streets in New York City are drug
addicts, according to prominent
physician formerly attached to the
state narcotic division.
More than $4,000, 100000 are
invested in tax-exempt federal,
state and municipal bonds in the
United States, according to a promi-
nent political economist. 1t is esti-
mated the United States Treasury
is losing some $500, 100000 a year
Of income-tax revenue because these
bonds are exempt from taxation.
This slack must be taken up by
those who do not own tax-exempt
securities.
No more will London be clouded

forth new bright, hard coke which
ignites easily, produces little dust
and burns with cheerful glow. 1t

cred coking and non-coking coal at
a temperature of 600 or 700 de-

The Sahra Desert embraces more
than 100000 square miles, being
nearly as large at the European

KILLS LION WITH
A BOW AND ARROW
HUNTER is BROTHER OF L. A.
STYLES OF FALLON; WAS
in CALIFORNIA

Capt. C. H. Styles, brother of l..
A. Styles of Fallon, has added to his
aurels by killing large mountain
ion in the mountains of California,
according to a well-displayed story
IN the Boston Herald. Styles is a
hero of the air service in the world
war and one of the few archer
hunters in the world today, says the
Herald, which continues:
Capt. Styles is an inveterate
huntsman of the old school. He
believes in giving his quarry every
chance. He is well known in the
east for his skill in archery and
makes all his own weapons.
I'm his latest feat he brought
down the big cat with the first ar
row, the shaft piercing the heart
cleanly."
Capt. Styles was on leave of alb
'ence from his station, Mitchell
Field, Long Island, and was in
The California hunting camp of
another devotee to the bow and ar
row sport when he killed the large
mountain lion which had been COM
hitting havoc in the stock yards
Of neighboring ranches.
"Tom, the guide" Styles said,
"came down at gallop saying he
had just seen big lion tracks
up the mountain. The tracks were
followed for more than four hours
by the dogs. They came to where
the cat had killed and eaten deer,
and in quarter mile freed him.
He was big fellow, too.
GAS soon as | had enough breath
to draw my bow, drew a couple
of times to be sure of my muscles,
and then let him have one in the
chest. The ole puss' rared back,
whirled and jumped about 80 feet
to the ground. Tom said that he
would die and l felt better. If
had missed him or stuck an arrow
into his tail or ear, would have
had to take year off to kick my
