vF Admiral Won Tirpitz were wisely pa

lord of U-boats and dark prince of sea-
frightfulness now to stand at the helm in
Berlin would do his country more i'll than

elevation to power would appear to the
world as signaling a return Of those forces
and of that spirit which brought on the ca
tastrophe of 1914. What would Paris think,
what would London and Rome and Ant

the Lusitania murders to the chief seat in
the German government of today?
It augurs well for the months ahead that
most Of his countrymen frown upon the
suggestion. Though the Nationalist were

be used the liberal and moderate parties
are apparently determined and able to pre-
vent the plumbers going further. They can
but perceive that now of all times is it i'm
portant to maintain a government with
which the Allies deal confidently and
with good understanding. France has but
recently swept the way clean for a new and
liberal administration, while in England the
Ramsay Macdonald ministry stands ready
to go any reasonable length with concilia-
tory policies. Thus the Dawes plan, which
is admittedly the last hope for peaceful and
effective readjustment in Europe, can be
worked out with general satisfaction pro-

To bring Won Tirptz forward at such a
juncture would be like ripping open a
wound just when it was beginning fairly to

this year will profoundly influence if it

she stands for good faith, for justice and

HOBBIES FOR WOMEN
By II. Addington Bruce

N most discussions of the health values OF
! hobbies it.seemingly is assumed that men
alone need hobbies as aids to effective
living.
Such an assumption is ridiculously false.
Women need hobbies at least as much as
men. Many women need them more than
most men.
| 1 refer particularly to those women of in
dependent means who live in hotels apart
ments, who virtually without household
cares, who have never had children whose
children have grown up.
A hobby of some sort Is really indispensa-
BILE to such women. Lacking it, leading
wholly purposeless lives, they are certain to
be tormented by discomfort and to suffer in
some degree from various ailments of a
more less serious sort.
One will find herself oppressed by mex
plicable aches and pains. Another will DE
unaccountably afflicted with insomnia. A
third will find 1t strange that her food d.
gests poorly.
Yet it is all simple enough, when one re-
members that for lack of really engrOssing
external interests, these poor women pay I'M
due attention to everything that concerns
themselves, including the workings Of their
internal organs. But internal organs watch
ed too closely, so to speak, always work
badly.
Hobbies, particularly hobbies that have a
social value, would afford diversion of the
attention and at the same time satisfy the
altruistic instinct which the self-centered
women because of their self-centeredness
have repressed. This repression, by the way,
is itself a cause of the discomfort malaise
they experience
| commend to them an observation by an
exceedingly wise physician:
From a long experience I have to confess
that l have seer that the unsentimental
remedy of social work is the safest and most
important prescription in the prescription
book Of the psychotherapist.
There is a chance for social work for
every woman and man, work which can well
be chosen in full adjustment to the personal
preference and likings. Not everybody is fit
for charity work. and those who may be
entirely untitled for work in the interest Of
the Identification of the town.
only it has to be work. Mere AUTOMOBILE
ing to charity races or talking in meetings
on problems which have not been studied
will, OF course, be merely another form of
the disorganizing superfciality. The hysteri-
cal lady on Fifth avenue and the psychas
thenic old maid in New england country
town, both simply have to learn to do useful
work with a concentrated effort and a high
purpose"
And what Of the woman who is not self
conferred, who, as mother and housewife
tolls enthusiastically all day-can she dispense
with hobbies? No more than her mate who
through some hobby seeks recreation from
the days work in store, office or factory.
In her case, in his it is not the need
Of satisfying occupation that a hobby is pri-
mariy designed to meet. 1t is the need for
that peasurable turning of the attention to
something other than the daily routine as
means of giving to the brain-cells occupied
in that routine real opportunity for rest.
Hence for the usefully occupied woman
as for the usefully occupied mantle hobby

THE NEED OF POETRY
By DR.. Frank Crane
TN HE fundamental need is the need oil

tn HE fundamental need is the need OF
poetry.
Verses and rhymes may be poetry
and may not be. They are a frequent form
for the utterance Of the poetic feeling, be-
cause any high emotion naturally falls into
rhythm and music.
But the great mass of poetry in the world,
that which feeds souls, brigAtens minds, and
cheers hearts never gets utterance at all.
We absorb it directly, absorb air.
Marriage is intolerable without poetry.
When the romance dies between man and
woman nothing remains but the intoerable
chains, chatting and heavy.
The business Of mothering would be be-
yond human endurance were it not for the
poetry Of it. The mothers heart puts some
thing fine and wonderful into her daily
round, otherwise the fret, sameness, narrow
ness, and irritation of it would wreck her
nerves Thanks to the Unborn poetry of
woman, a child is not burden but a song
The nation needs poetry. If we were only
a community of buyers and sellers, if there
were no currents of patriotism to fuse all
hearts, if the flag did not inspire us, and
THE Star-Spangled Banner" when the band
plays it, did not rouse us, the state would
so to pieces as heap of pebbles without
cement, and we should be helpless before the
enemy.
The church needs poetry. She is strong
est always when she has wings. Her argu-
ments leave us unconyinced. Her visions
capture us.
The schoolmaster needs poetry. Only when
some irresistible enthusiasm, some stubborn
love of ideal, burns in his heart is his
teaching joy to himself and a moulding
force to his pupils.
The best locomotive engineer is one who
feels the poetry of his calling. He may not
acknowledge it, but say simply that he likes
his job yet it is the fascination of it that
sustains his soul while his hands work. To
feel the monstrous power beneath his feet to
know that the huge horse of steam and steel
obeys his touch, to rush like a meteor
through the night, to realize that hundred
lives depend on his brain and hand, all this
sings in him; this is what his spirit lives on
poetry, not wages.
Whatever a man does if he can squeeze
poetry out of it he can live by it. If he can
not. he dies by it.
We are beginning TO feel the poetry of
business: that is, of feeding and clothing the
world, of building bridges, piercing noun
tains, annihilating distances with steam and
electricity, and making the cities and farms
of men as splendid their dreams, and in
/ proportion as we learn to sing of business
and forget the songs of war we move toward
the golden age

She answered him sobbingly:

harm him. Even afterwards, when David had
gone, she did not regret the little mpulsive

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,

"Do not forget all this bombing was going
on while President Wilson was managing the
1920 election" continues the writer. How
was it possible for so gigantic conspiracy
Or so desperate an outburst of proletarian
passion to escape detection when most of the
detective p agencies of the country were
pursuing the perpetrators with such untirin g
zeal?
"Only one conclusions seems possible, not
a flattering one, when the facilities of the
department OF justice are considered. Then
consider their relation to the results accom-
plished.
ut was humanity natural that Attorney
General Palmer should have been seriously
disturbed by the June explosion in front Of
his residence. 1t is not surprising that he
begged of congress an enormous appropria-
ton of money to pay detectives. The Red
crusade of Mr.. Palmer has been attributed
to his personal ambition. Why did Mr.. Pal
mer's supporters in 1920 ignore this crusade
in their campaigning for the presidency? He
seemed, according to the Baltimore Sun, to
scent a Bolshevist plot in every item Of the
days news
To make a long story short the appropri.
ations were very large and to use the writ.
er's languages:
THE department of justice was turned
into an agency for stimulating the popular
delirium, which the postal bombs of the pre-
ceding May and the explosions of June had
gen Grated"
In the senatorial campaign Of 1918, when
Senators Hardwick, William J. Harris and
Hon. Schley Howard we're candidates, I lis
tened to a speech in the Gainesville court
house, when Senator Hardwick de-
nounced as a pro-German, a traitor to his
country and a legal adviser of a Russian an
archist. At the same time the statement was
made that President Wilson would not toler-
ate either Howard or Hardwick.
1t was more than strange that Hardwick's
home should be bombed by anarchists, at the
same time that Attorney General Palmer
house was later bombed.
1t has always been my conviction that
the bomb activities were aimed at people who
stood in the way of shrewd politicians, even
down in Georgia.

you will see the situation as it was exploited

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
CHURCHES?

TN HE Episcopalians are trying bishop
for heresy. The Presbyterians are
trying a preacher for heresy. The
Methodists, north and south, are being
stirred to the bottom sll'' for and against
the union of the northern church with the
southern church in Methodsm, after long
separation. There was a serious attempt at
the late Southern Baptist convention to pull
that gigantic religious organization into To-
cal and national politics.
1t would seem that the stir Is general, and
the outcome is problematical. When such
religious stir is going on, it is bound to
end in church disturbances, more or less.
Doubtless this is aftermath of a deirum
of war antipathies and sectional animosites.
I have been member of the southern
Methodist church since August, 1854, sew
enty-three years. I have remembrance Of
the split that divided the north and south
