SELF-APPRECIATION.
From the Kansas City Star,

From the Kansas CITY star.
Humor and self-criticism, it has
often been pointed out, go together: a
sense of humor is an antidote for con-
ceit. Victor Hugo had no sense of
humor. and the complacency with which
he looked back upon his career arose
from conceit that was even more
colossal than his genius.
Late in life some of his friends were
talking with him, and, of course, about
him. One said. Streets ought to be
named after him.
Another remarked, Streets? Paris
ought to change its name and be called
Victor Hugo"
Another added scornfully, ''Paris :
Paris, after such great man? No, in
deed! France ought to change it's name
and the whole country be called Victor
Hugo"
The great writer then lifted his head
and with Jovian dignity spoke in tones
of quiet, solemn conviction: THAT will
come in time"

primarily to the seif-sacrificing gener-
osiiy of its contributors, and recognize

SPLIT BETWEEN Won KAHR

yon.Kahr Continues Expulsion Of East
European Jews.

Munich.-Differences between Dicta-
tor Won Kahr and the Fascist leader
Hitler, which are growing increasingly
acute. are becoming n real menace 70
the Jews of Bavaria. Dictator Won
Kahr is inflicting greater hardships on
tbe Jews i'm order to disprove the ma
tional socialists charge that he Is
friendly to the Jews.
Ven Knhr is accused of having be-
trayed Hitler. and anyone who is conr-
npeous enough 10 speak word in
favor of the Jew and against oppres-
sion is classed as n Jewish slave.
Even Cardinal Faulhaber. who recently
dcplored the attacks on Jews, has NOT
escaped this classification at the hands
of the national socialists. Down with
Rene, down with the Jews" are among
the war cries of the National Socialist
followers of Hitler.
Apparently to deny these structures
Won Kahr's administration is dealing
more harshly than even with the Jew
ish dcpor;ees. The Bavarian finance
finance minister has sequestered the
property of the exiled Jews. Demand
ing payment of taxes from the depor-
tces, it has cOnfiscated their wealth to
the last penny until the expelled have
had TO appeal to Jewish institutions to
transport their furniture to their new
home in exile.
There are many evidence of official
anti-Semitism in Munich, not the least
of which is Won Kahr's latest announce
ment that the expnlsions will be con

Bad Boy OH Ocean Chart

Falcon island, in the South Pacific,
is the most FESTIVE and changeable
piece of land in the world. 1t has a
knacll of disappearing below the
waves and then suddenly bobbing
ur again.
1t was first seen and chartcd by
II. NJ. S. Falcon in 1865. But in
1877 another ship found that the
land had disappeared, though smoke
was issuing from the sea. The
charts were altered accordingly
Then, in 1885. the island returned
quite jauntily, and remained so long
that the steamer Eeeria. in October
1889. charted it again. showing it to
be just over mile long, mile
broad, and 153 feet above sea level
at its highest point. Early in 1894.
however, a survey ship found that
the island consisted of only a low
stretch of narrow rock, less than
1000 feet in length.
BY December of the same year the
island had bobbed up again, and was
over three miles long and nearly two
broad AS if exhausted by such an
effort to increase in area, it vanished
once more in 1898.
No further signs of ambition were
noted until 1900, when the island
again began to grow. Since then it
has undergone many changes. To-
day it is covered with palm trees
and vegetation, but its reputation for
misbehavior is such that no one will
settle upon it.-London Bits.

recovery OF the bodies Of Wardens Da-
vid Brown and Myrtley Johnson. be-
lieved to have been murdered in the
woods OF northern Maine between Nov.
IA and IS, last. The commissioner ex-
planned that the attorney general had
offered a reward of $1,000 for the re-
covery OF the bodies and $500 for evil
dence leading to the conviction Of the
murderers. 1t was felt that this last
was not sufficient. but the attorney gen.
cral had no further funds for the pur-
pose and the Legislature was asked to
provide this reward. This money would
be for evidence only, and it was
thought it would result in securing the
arrest and conviction OF the murdcrers
Mr.. Parsons said that they felt there
were several persons would know who
killed these men and that the Offering
OF reward Of this size would over
come their fears and cause them to
give the information desired. He de-
clarcd that they expected to find the
bodies of the men with the going of
the snow. and said that the territory
was being guarded so as to prevent
anyone slipping in and disposing of
the bodies before the officers could To-
cate them.
If we are not going to punish these
murdcrers, we may as well abandon
this territory to tho murdcrous poach-
rs Of Canada" said Commissioner
