The Quo of Paris

Paris, the great gay city, is con-
tained within Il cup. says writer in
the Continental edition Of the London
Daily Mail You may discover it one
day perhaps from Il pleasant roof gar
den and be suddenly surprised to find
the city so definitely contained.
Wherever you will look there M last
appear the soft green hills p.eping so
serenely down UPON the welter of life
in the city below. You may even see
the trees on the hills. so near are they.
We used to think the city was so big
and spread so far, and the Place de
In Concorde, what "A mighty space il
was! There even now we see the
dome of the Pantheon, the towers of
Notre Dame. the sudden smoky shoot
of the Eiffel tower. Gigantic things
we used to think them. But row how
easily they are held in the cup of the

Natures Amends for
Toll Taken BY Years

The critics have always stumbled a
little over this final phase of supreme
genius. They used to think that
Michelangelo's last work was uniin-
ished. They still often think that what
we must recognize in such manifes-
tation is lassitude, failure OF energy,
weakening grasp of brain or hand.
am not sure that there is not an ele-
ment of truth in such criticism, OBJ
serves Havelock Ellis, in the Forum.
Only let us not forget that 1t is the
mark of high genius. less to display
athletically Titan strength than to be
able to use weakness to reach divine
ends. That power, it may well seem
10 us, is supremely visible in the typi-
cal last phase of the highest genius.
The artist has lost his early power of
realistic grip, and with it lost also his
early taste for such power. But he
has lost it only to attain a wider and
deeper and more symbolic mastery of
the world. He no longer cares more
than he has ever before for its es-
sence, and he is conscious of that es-
sence with delicacy of sensitive per-
ceptiOn he never before possessed He
is no longer concerned with things;
they are receding from his view. AS
he rises above the earth. like Elijah in
his chariot of fire, he now sees il only
In the distance. Henceforth he no
longer deals with things. 1t is the
soul of things that he brings before
us. That is why his latter work fas-
cinates us endlessly as, slowly. after
many years, enlightened by the long
course of our own experience, we be-
gin at last to understand what it
means.

DroUned Out Conscience

The preacher had told Uncle Ben
tha in moments of temptation he must
listen to the still, small voice of con-
science. And Uncle Ben. in the con-
duct of his secondhand store, tried
hard to obey the Injunction.
But when Mirandy Jones in a mo-
ment of unguarded enthusiasm. of
fered him S5 for Il calico dress for
which he hadn't expected to get more
than $l.44, he couldn't withstand it.
"Ah fell" he confessed to the
preacher afterward. "Ah couldn't
help it."
Didn't you listen to the voice of
conScience?" asked the minister.
'Ah listened hard" was the an
swer, but honest. All couldn't hear
nnthin 70 the sound of the cash reg

given in the high school auditorium

Bluffs band will furnish the music
for the dance. Arrangements have
been completed to get the election
returns on the national, state and

phone and radio. Announcements
will be made to the crowd as fast
as the returns come in.
Dance tickets are $1.O0 and spec
tators 25 cents. The Woman's
Club will serve a lunch at midnight
for charge of Is cents.
Because of the general interest in
the election, it is expected that a
large crowd will be present. The
whole affair is staged under the
auspices Of the Community club
and the net proceeds will go TO-
ward the incidental expense of the
club in its work. except for the
lunch of the Woman's club, whose
proceeds will go into the public H.
brary fund.
Officers will be on hand and the
evidence of liquor in any form will
receive their earnest attention.
