DISAPPOINTMENT FOR PROFIT.

The bootlegger and the blind-pigger seldom
face court until the prospect of conviction has
been reduced to a practical certainty He
knows he is guilty, and he strongly suspects
the police and the court know it.. Less than
half an hour generally determines the question
judically when it gets to a trial. 1t generally
is determined adversely to the defendant.
The first IMPULSE of an arrested manor
woman is very naturally, to secure the ser
vices of lawyer Every person charged with
any offense is entitled to his day in court, and
he has right to the best defense he can pro-
cure. no matter how guilty he may be, or how
obvious may be that guilt. There can be no
objection to that. Now the attorney for the
bootlegger is entitled to good fee. 1t is some
what like the situation Of Emory Storrs when
the old Peoria whiskey-ring wanted to retain
him. He asked $4,000 retainer. They
thought 5000 was enough. Storrs explained
that SIS 900 was enough for retainer, but that
1t was worth the other $4,000 to associate
with such damned rascals So, while there is
little for the bootlegger's attorney to do in
legal way, he is entitled to a comfortable fee
for even trying to do anything for the social
outlaw he is called upon to appear for. And
yet, he must do something for the money
About the only thing he can do successfully,
is to get continuance That, he usually can
do. The theory is pretty generally eStaDhSned
that every case is entitled to at least one con-
tinuance.
Now. for the bootlegger, that is all he. can
expect He knows about what his fine and
attorneys fee will amount to, and contfnu-
ance of two weeks for the case also carries
with it a continuance for two weeks of his ac-
tiyities 1t is poor bootlegger who cannot
make enough in two weeks to stand the fine
and the attorneys fee. A little extra activity,
and he can even up. Unless-the courts might
adopt the expedient of the judge who over
heard the defendant who had been fined hun
dred dollars observe to his attorney that it
wouldn't take long to make that up. But,
interjected the judge, "You aren't going to be-
gin making it up for at least sixty days" That
is one court action for which additional ac-
tivity on the part of the bootlegger provides
no remedy. And it is the only one that will
seriously interfere with bootlegging.

AMERICAN OPERA.

America is declaring it's operate independ-
ence. Or at least, group of citizens calling
themselves the American operate Allied Arts
Foundation are making such declaration in
their country's name. The sponsors of this
movement propose to establish national
grand opera, presented in English, ending
foreign domination in this field.
There have been sporadic attempts of the
sort before, but this undertaking is much more
pretentious. It's seriousness and response
bility may be judged from the fact that Otto
H. Kahn, head of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany of New York, is honorary chairman OF
it's advisory committee, Max Rabinoff, the
famous director, is director general and
among the board of directors and committee
members are many Of the leading citizens of
New York, with a sprinkling from other cities.
Such an ambitious creation as American
opera cannot be brought about by mere wish
or paper resolution, or even by mere cash and
brains. 1t will take money, brains taste, time,
hard work and public support. There must be
a new system of training musical artists
The founders plan to establish, up the Hud-
son River, an American Institute of operate
Art. Singers, instrumental artists and dancers
will be assembled there in June, and the work
will go ahead as rapidly as possible. Presum-
ably next winter will see the first public per-
formances.
In a few years, the results of this move
ment may cover the country with musical
drama worthily supplementing the country's
achievements in spoken drama, screen drama
and concert music. 1t is something for music
lovers to look forward to- and the rapid musical
progress of the country should provide such
support as has never been possible before

WHAT IS USEFUL LEARNING?

The quest for the practical in school educa-
ton is worth while if it keeps people thinking
about school matters and interested in solving
educational problems. But arguments as to
what is practical or useful education always
produce divisions in the ranks of the arguers.
There are educators swho regard classes in
the study Of traffic problems as more impor-
tant to high school pupils than classes in
poetry or drama. There are other critics who
regard the useful" or vocational studies as
highly impractical One of these describes his
own situation thus: yet ssegz
II wasted three high school terms learning
to plane two-by-four plank down to octa-
gon peg the seize of lead pencil. / had no
gift for it and funked three times record
for that school, but kept at it because I was
told that it was useful learning and 1 was
young enough to believe it,
That student now a grown man, believes
that he "should have spent those three terms
studying something perfectly useless like
Latin" which would have been exceedingly
helpful to him later on in learning French and
Italian, which he needed
But what is useful for one pupil may be
wasteful for another. 1t is probably right
that some schools should have classes in plan
ing while others have classes in Latin and still
others teach both sorts of subjects. 1t be-
comes increasingly apparent that a rigidly
standardized system of schooling is unwise, and
that opens the door to a whole series of prob
lens which educators must tackle in the next
few years.

Daily Health Hint
SOCIAL PsYCHIATRY

Social psychiatry differs very much
from asylum" Mrs. Mann learned.
In the first place it teaches the rec
SYMPTOMS of nervous and mental dis
wholesale habits of mental health can
aster.
This, of course, means during child
hood, because it is in this plastic,
flexible period that the necessary
wholesale HABITS of mental health can
best be instilled, and faulty ones,
pointing to impending disaster in la
ter life, corrected.
Therefore the recognition and un-
Outstanding that disagreeable, unheal-
thy habits and tendencies during child
hood and excessive development of
queer, warped or twisted personalities
during the same period constitute ear
ly danger signals.
A persons personality usually is
formed by the time the person reaches
10.
In the second place, social phychia-
try teaches US to regard man as a
single unit of entity. It insists that
we look at the patient as human
being, from the whole point of view,
with a knowledge of how he fits into
his niche in life.

WORDS OR PICTURES?

Thomas A. Edison, with his well known en-
thusiasm for moving pictures, goes farther
than usual in an interview in Golfers. In 10
years, he thinks, schoolbooks will be as old
fashioned as the horse and carriage are now.
Visual education" he says, THE imparting
of exact information through the motion pic
ture camera, will be matter of course in all
our schools" That may be granted The
tendency now is in that direction, and every
year sees an increase in the use made of films
in school instruction. But it is hard to go all
the way with Mr.. Edison when he continues !;
1.-The printed lession will be largely supple
mental, not paramount"
Doubtless most persons learn more readily
through the eye than through any other sense.
But that does not mean necessarily that the
picture can replace the printed word. For
words, too, are pictures, as well as sounds, and
when well chosen they call forth pictures in
the readers mind and stir his imagination
Words are living things. Their roots go far
back in human consciousness and experience.
To an active imagination they suggest far
more than they tell.
The printed page, too, has this great adj
vantage in educational work over pictorial or
oral instruction-the learner is not confined to
fleeting sense impression; he can turn back
and read the words over as often as he likes,
and let their meaning sink deeper into his
consciousness
There may even be an advantage in the fact
that printed words convey ideas less quickly
than pictures. The curse of our time is reflect
ing impressions, which make people superficial.
More work, rather than less, is needed for the
mind.

TYPEWRITERs.

The printing press has been lauded
as means of spreading civilization
Why has not the plebeian typewriter
noisy and space jumping as the one
which writes this-been glorifed.
Your modern newspaper would not
be what it is today. A good reporter
can write colu..: Sf 90 per cent per-
feet copy in an hour. Without his
typewriter, he'd just be getting to the
wife's side of the story when he'd
have to quit so that the edition would
get to press on time.
Seriously, hundreds of good books
that have been written would never
have seen the light of day had not
their authors been able typists. If
you don't believe it, try writing 10000
words yourself this evening.
Courts and commerce, as we'll as
literature, would be delayed were it
not for the nimble machine.
And who shall gainsay that the
typical American speed" at which
our visitors marvel, is not entirely the
result Of the subtle and subconscious
influence of early and widespread use
of pecked-at mechanism?

The United States, government seized the
property in question, belonging to German
subjects, as security for losses inflicted on
American citizens by the German government.
The idea was that, if necessary, this property
would be applied to the compensation of Amer
leans for their losses, and then the German
government would have to reimburse its own
nationals for theirs.
The wronged American citizens must be
paid, in any event. Ii they are not paid from
German property or German money, Uncle
Sam himself will have to pay them. There
ought to be some fairer way to iquidate the
thing

FORD.

How extensively the Fords will go
in for airplane manufacture depends
in large measure on the outcome of ex-
periments now being conducted with
several all-metall planes manufactur-
ed on Ford ground at Dearborn Mich.
If these planes come up to require
ments then the Ford airplane business
is not far away. If they don't, it will
just be postponed.
AS Edsel Ford says, Eventually
Ford will make airplanes. We make
everything else, SO why not ?"
However, it would be wrong to call
the all-metal plane an "air fivver."
It's too expensive for that. Other
planes can be built more cheaply.

ALIEN PROPERTY.

1t seems uncertain whether the private pro-
perty seized under a war act and held by the
alien property custodian is to be returned to
its owners. The chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee wants to return
it. but the President is not so sure, on account
of international complications.
The Allies who are collecting German rep
aration money, and giving US some of it, have
intimated that if the United States alone
chooses to give back the German property
seized during the war the United States itself
must take care of the loss; they cannot be ex-
pected to make it good from PREPARATION funds.
And it is hard to collect the money from Ger
many directly.

Dawes Oratory Will Go With the
People.

Dawes Oratory Will Go With the
People.
1t is good news that Vice President
Dawes will make speeches ON behalf
of the reform which he is advocating
in the Senate. His style of oratory
will ego" with the people, whether it
does with the Senate or not.
This is the rule which he wants
changed. Up to few years ago the
Senate rule was that every Senator
lad the right 10 speak as often and as
long as he liked On any measure, and
that no vote could be taken SO long
as any one wanted to speak.
Then. In spasm of reform" the
Senate pretended to cure this. So now
after bill has been under debate a
certain number of days if two-thirds
of the Senate votes to close debate, the
debate still goes on for two more days
before it begins to close, and after
that each senator may still speak one
hour on it.
That would take 81 days of sessions
of the usual length. But sufficiently
determined majority to two-thiFds can
theoretically force a vote in three
weeks, or perhaps in one week by all
day and all night sessions.
Practically, determined minority,
by forcing this step to be taken on
many measures if threatened on one,
could obstruct indefinitely. 1t has new
err been tried but once, and then it
delayed instead of fastening matters
What the vice president wants is
to change this false pretense into a
rule which, when the majority SO de-
termines, will really get vote. There
car be no question where public sem
tirneat on that question will be.

No Use Bothering with German Marks.
The German government is redeem
ing it's old notes. But if you have a
few million-mark bills, don't bother to
send them over. They are worth forty
thousand for cent. Even billion
("milliard") mark bills are forty to
the cent. Nothing short of thousand
billion mark bill is worth paying post
age on. And that will bring only one
gold mark, worth not quite twenty
four cents. All the German marks in
this country, for which misguided
Americans paid millions, are not now
worth one per cent OF the secondhand
value Ct the ink with which they are
printed.
