NOT A WISE SOLUTION.

The proposal to prohibit parking in the business district except to those who rent space from the city by the year has a radical flavor. It is certainly not in harmony with our American theory of public streets for all the public, and not for that privileged few who happen to get in on the ground floor It is doubt full if the suggestion would stand legal test, and certainly not a constitutional
 test. Undoubtedly, MT. Cloe's plan foi parallel parking for limited periods is

The Right Word
THE FIFTH SENTENCE.
Ny ". CURTIS STcHOLsoN

The fifth sentence in the recent test, was not as easy as some of the others. It read as follows: Frank as well as Charles were asking who l should like to be-"
 Readers who tried the test probably first halted at the word were Those who cor rected it to was made the only necessary cor rection. There were some, however, who were probably puzzled by word who.
 The inclusion of 'as wen as" does not make a subject plural. Frank alone is the subject. Who is correct. ITO be- is an infinitive. The noun or pronoun following the infinitive ito be" in the fifth sentence does not have a subject; as, should like to be who.
 When an infinitive has a subject: thought it to be him. ...
 When an infinitive has no subject. Like to be he.
 The Sixth Sentence.
 It read as follows: "Neither of the girls says she would like to go on the trip"
 This sentence is not so easy either. There is only one error to be found in it. Would should be changed to should. Says is correct because the subject is neither, singular prOnoun. f11-,
 "I would like" is always incorrect. The expression should be "T should like" When one is reporting q statement of another, who has said II should like" one should retain the word should; as, Neither says she should like to go.
 Yesterdays Error.
 Wrong: Either plural or a singular verb can follow none"
 Right: Either plural or singular verb may follow none"

National Chairman Butler is not very consistent. Perhaps he finds it easier not to be. Only a few days ago he ex- pressed the fear that the election would be thrown into congress, that the house would fail to elect and that the senate would elect Charles J. Bryan. Now he upbraids MT.

Birds Of Disaster.

E The birds of disaster have been seen in Europe, so says the Cologne Gazette. The name is given by the people over there to the silk-failed winter thrush. In the Baltic states it is held as a matter of historical record that the birds flew about in thick clusters about the 1872, just previous to Napoleon's march to Moscow In 1870 they were seen as far as Bordeaux and we have it on the unimpeach- able veracity of the Flemish peasants that they were observed on the Belgian coast in the spring of 1914 This time the birds were flying in the direction of the Scandinavian countries, says the Gazette There are many such sources of superstition in Europe, rem hants of the time when Druid priests scanned the horizon for signs and looked for tokens in the intestines of animals brought to the sacred places. The writer's mother pointed to crossed swords on the moon in June, 1914.
 A few months later her son had rifle i

Justified.

It was brutal murder The victim never had chance for his life Creeping up be- hind him, the murderer struck him down without warning-and in broad daylight. "Why did you do it?" they asked him, as he was led away, handcuffed to an officer. Aren't you sorry, now?"
 No, I'm glad" the murderer answered. "That fool was the cause of my getting mar ried. He was always dinning into my ears that two could live as cheaply as one."

Interesting Debate on Present
Much Mooted Question Of
Longer School Days
SUPERVISED STUDY

The Glenwood Parent-Teachers asso-
citation held very interesting meeting
last Tuesday evening, the attendance
being very credlraple, and the Interest
very good.
After few preliminary remarks by
Mrs. Foote, the president, the regular
program Of the evening was taken up,
and it proved to be very interesting
program, indeed.
The first number was whistlinH
solo, by Beverly Spencer, and the young
man proved himself quite a warbler,
and responded to an encore.
District Attorney Delaney delivered
a very interesting and instructive ad-
dress on the subject, "The Legal
Rights of Children in Colorado" Di-
viding his address under three heads,
the right of the child to protection, his
right to an education, and his right
under our child labor and delinquency
laws, Mr.. Delaney went itno each Of
these phases at considerable length,
and the people were very much enlight-
ened by the address, which all greatly
enjoyed.
After very pleasing vocal solo by
Mrs. Conner, Master Lynn Richey gave
reading on Lincoln, and then was
! taken up the debate on the question,
''Resolved, That Longer School Day,
With Complete Supervision of Study in
the School is Desirable''
The affirmative side of the question
was championed by NJ. J. Mayes and
Miss Hine, while the theory was at
tackled by Mrs R. H. Tucker and D.
c. Belden.
The question is one that in many
communities is demanding considerable
attention from school people and par
ents, and the arguments advanced by
the speakers on either side were inter-
esting and germane, while at the same
time they provoked no little amuse-
ment. At the close of the debate Mrs.
Tucker stated that the committee had
purposely failed to appoint judges to
decide as to the merit of the argument,
preferring to put the matter up to the
people and give them opportunity to
think the matter over without undue
bias, in the hoe that it might be dis
cussed further at some fuure time.

CANADIAN FLYER
IN LOCAL ADDRESS

Union services were held at the
Junior High school Sunday evening in
order that the townspeople might have
the opportunity of hearing Major Ed
wards, Canadian, who was one of
the first fliers in France and who lost
his only brother, father, wife and
eleven cousins in the war or from
the flu which resulted from the world
war.
Major Edwards was in the aviation
serv ce and was in France in Novem-
ber, 1914, and was shot down in 1917.
a fter he left the hospital he was sent
to the intelligence department in Rus
sia where he came in direct contact
with the Russian and Soviet govern
ment.
The speaker stressed the Importance
of peace and gave many facts to show
the terribleness of the world war.
" Peace,n he said, sis something that
we must all have, must all want, for
the killing of men doesn't belong to
civilized races"
Those killed in battle and who died
of disease as result of the recent
war are over one hundred IN lions of
people, almost equivalent to one-half
the populat on of the United States.
Those killed on the fell of battle
number thirteen million and to realize
the magnitude of this it would take
four days for soldiers marching twen-
ty-four hours a day in company forma.
ton for this number to pass given
point.
Many of the men who are listed as
dead or missing are lying in hospitals
with c ther their minds or bodies or
both shot to pieces. Serbia lost sew
enty per cent of her people, and yet
