PARIS THIEVES ROB
 CITY TELEPHONES

PARIS, March 23.-Chicagos slick CTS may use lead slugs instead of nickels in automatic telephones, and New York's petty thieves may plug up the coin return slots in order to steal from the telephone cOm- panies, but Paris robbers devised other methods.
 They stole one of the citys two unguarded automatic telephones, and the booth, situated in the Halles, wholesale market place, had to be closed indefinitely, awaiting the man. ufacture of new apparatus.
 The other unguarded automatic phone is still in operation in the subway station at the Palais Royal. Tn the future, however, it will either be guarded or the booth will be locked every night.
 Automatic telephones are still so new in Paris that they are a cause of wonderment. They are studiously avoided by many French people, who look upon them as too complicated for everyday use.
 Small wonder, either, the automat- ics are avoided. Directions for using the phones are spread out in red and black ink over immense posters. They warn just what will happen if certain button is pressed and what will not happen if another button is not pulled.
 Telephone users have other tribu- lations, too, one of the most trying of which is that the subscribers di- rectory now in use is three years old. The new directory, postponed by the delay in the passing of the budget bill by the Chamber of Depu- ties, will not appear for six months, the Paris press laments.

RELIGIOUS GROWTH
 SEEN BY PREACHER
"Tremendous Evolution" in All Creeds Evidenced by Most Ministers,
 He Says

COLUMBUS, March 23.-"A tre- mendous evolution in religion is evident in the preaching of all edu- cated, thinking ministers, regard less of what antiquated creeds they officially accept" declared Rev. Charles A. Alden, pastor of the Church of the Golden Rule, sermon- izing on "The Evident Evolution in Religion"
 Religious officials today invari- ably dodge the heresy trial" Rev. pr. Alden continued. An Episco- palian rector denies the deity of Christ. A Methodist minister denies the story of how Moses secured the Decalogue But none of them will be tried for heresy.
 "Out of autocratic religion, as out of autocratic education, business, or government, humanity moves ever forward and the spirit of truth is guiding us slowly into all truth,' he said.
 "A wonderful change has taken place in many of the churches. Such inconsequential matters as clerical attire, use of musical instruments and the amount of water necessary for baptism seldom are debated to- day"
 Rev Dr. Alden stated that time was when men believed in God as simply "power," beyond all other power. Today, he said, that power" has been changed to Hove" which seeks responsibility of service and is always dependable.

HAWAII TAXES AND
 JAILS M00NSHINER
Pays Income Levy, Goes to Jail, Pay: Tax on Jail Food and
 Quarters

HONOLULU, March 23.-"Just be- cause a mans bootlegger is no reason why he shouldn't pay an in- come tax" says J. Walter Jones, collector of internal revenue for the Territory of Hawaii. And not only are the fines incidental to his pro- fession not deductable as Legitimate business expense" according to Jones, and the bootlegger will also be expected to pay a tax on the food and quarters received as result of his jail sentence for violation of the prohibition law, which must be reported as income.
 According to the Federal law all persons are required to report every dollar of their income collected from every source," Collector Jones says. "Every source, in this instance, would necessarily refer to the profits derived by a manufacturer of in toxicating beverages, regardless whether or not such beverages are legally and illegally manufactured
 Collector Jones' ruling has caused quite stir among the local bootleg gentry.

EXPELLED TEACHER
 CLAIMS FRENCH A. B.
Washinqton Instructress Will Appeal to U. s. Ambassador in Paris
 for Proof

WALLA WALLA, Wash, March 23. Reciprocity of certification of pub lie school teachers between the United States and France is in yolved in controversy over the granting of Mrs. Yvonne K. Navas, former citzien of France, a right to teach in the high school here. Mrs. Naas was recently discharged by the city school board because Mrs. Josephine Preston, State Super1n- tendent of Public Instruction, refused to issue a certificate to her on the grounds that she does not possess the required bachelors degree.
 Mrs Navas declares that she has received the equivalent of degree of bachelor of arts in a private school for women in France, which at that time was the only sort of institution of higher learning that women were permitted to attend. She says that she has been granted a permit to teach in the secondary schools of France by the French Government and that she will secure evidence of it through the American Ambassador in Paris and will use it to force the local school board to reinstate her or pay her the re- mainder of her salary for the present school year, which ends in June.
 Mrs. Navas is the daughter of a former French Minister Plenipoten- tiary to China, who later held the chair of living Oriental languages in the University of Paris. She came here from California, where she had been given certificate to teach through a special examination con- ducted by R. Michaud, professor of French at the University of Cali fornia.

How Words Lose Repufation-

Y ANGUAGE is a circulating medium, as
1 money is, and words like coins, are apt
~~ to lose their value in the course of time. A
decline in the exchange rating of word may
be. due either to imitation, that is, too promrs-
cuous application, or to a growing popular
suspicion of the soundness of it's backing.
The Seven Wise Men of early Greece were
called "sophist'' as honorific appellation.
But later a "sOphist" came to mean a man
who pretended to know more than he did or,
worse, who sold his wisdom to the highest
bidder for the basest of purposes, that of
making wrong cause seem right.
Pythagoras repudiated the title of soph1st,
or wise man, because as he said, none is
wise save God" So he devised and assumed
the more modest sounding term Of "philoso-
pher," lover of wisdom. But this term has
narrowed, if not degenerated. Philosophy,
once. the sum of human knowledge has come,
in common parlance, to be confined to specu-
lative metaphysics When Plato said that
states should be ruled by philosophers he did
not mean by professors Of metaphysics.
This degeneratiVe process has gone so far
that we have no word in good repute and
common usage to apply to a group of COM
petent and learned men. The word "schol-
ars" would once have served, but this has
fallen from its high estate and come to mean
pupils" that is, those who are being
schooled, instead of those who have been
schooled. To call man "sage" calls up in
the average mind the picture of something
grey and pedantic, if not green and aromatic.
Inc WORD scientist mas become so narrowed
and lowered and misappled that men of
science hesitate to use it longer. The titles
of professor and expert" are also distinct
ly losing caste.
To call man 'fe1low" is not safe now
adays outside of the campus of university
1t is hard to arrest a word when it Is on
the down grade and almost impossible for a
word to regain reputation once lost. 1t
seems that some sort of gravitational force
prevails in linguistics. The dictionary is
cd until dc hat rad in + he
highest circles but now are outcast and
marked "obs." or "vul."
The man who knows comes in the course
of time to be considered knowing man."
