No Escape

Ii we do wrong we have to pay.

not in the accustomed shape, it cuts
no ice, we can't escape; old Retribu-
tion wiz appear, perhaps next week,
perhaps next year, and make US dig
up all we owe, and show US novel
ties in woe. SO when caititf strews
some glass along the pike where
must pass, and all my tires are run
ming fat, | may be much inccnsed
at that, but thoughts of vengeance
do not mar my spirit while | view
my car. If | beheld the scurvy
knave who strewed the glass along
the pave, | would not kick him with
my toe, or call him down. for we'll
| know that he'll be punished for his
crime; the gods will swat him in
good time Some time ali things all
evened up: the sinner drinks the
bitter cup, perhaps for evil tricks he
sprung long years ago when he was
young. The delegate who spread
the glass may thrive while many
seasons pass; but Nemesis is on his
trail. and soon or later will prevail.
Some day his engine will break
down when he is 60 miles from town,
on some remote abandoned road, re-
mote from any ones abode. The
night is dark, it starts to rain; he's
weeping by his busted vain; and

by the Bureau of Education, he
charged that people of the country
may see the need of education for
their own children, but often lose
sight Of the fact that education is
the fundamental need in the life of
the Nation.
I'VE are all likely to become so en-
crossed in our own little worlds of
business that we fail to see the fun
damental things of America life" he
continued. We need to be reminded
now and then that conditions are
changing, and that the means of edu-
cation must change to meet new con-
ditions. AS country's civilization
develops, schools must keep step. The
higher the civilization of the country
the higher and more widely diffused
the education of that country must
be in order to maintain its civiliza-
ton"
The unsavory influence of socialism
and communism was the subject of
talk by Representative Arthur NJ

entirely different system of govern

who attended the conference, said
that 90 per cent of the crabs SO
handled are a total loss.
Increased Demand.
The practice has grown in late
years because of an increased demand
for soft-shelled crabs, DIR. Radcliffe
said. Discussing the treatment of the
crab supply of the Chesapeake, he
gave figures showing that between
1905 and 1915 from 45,000,000 to 50,-
100000 pounds of crabs were taken
out of the bay annually, but that the
yearly catch now is only about 49,
100000 pounds.
The Importance of the industry was
made plain, DR.. Radcliffe added, by
figures which showed that crabs bring
in about S1,000,000 year to those en-
gagged in the business. The Federal
Government, he said, is making a de-
tailed study of the problem.
