| 1t is creditors, not debtors, that
drag debts into courts. And, in the
court, if it were possible to get it
there, nothing could be considered
but the legal validity Of the debt,
which is not questioned by the
French themselves.
The sentimental counter-claims
are described even by those who
make them as political" Thew
might be considered by political.
but not by judicial tribunal.
Besides, neither France nor Amer
lea can be got into that court except
by its own consent.
! And France does not have to 90
into any court to avoid paying
debts. All it has to do is just not
pay them.
There is nothing the world court
could do about the French debt -
or, if there were, it would have to
be on our side.
The Chicago Tribune advocates 3
per cent beer, on the ground that
"in common usage it is not intox-
icating; in abnormal usage it might
be-"
1t would decrease bootlegging and
stop much drinking Of poisonous
liquor. SO the Tribune asks, "Why
mote"
The real question is not "Why?"
but "How?"
Even conceding for the sake of
the argument that the Trbune's 3
per cent beer would be desirable
how are you going to get it?
That is, until the l3 dryest states
give their consent to a change OF
the Constitution?
The Constitution prohibits intoxi-
eating liquors. Congress can act
only within the limits of that Con-
stitution, and the Supreme Court has
already declared that it can enact no
law permitting what the amendment
prohibits-that is, Intoxicating liq-
ucrs.
The Tribune itself comedies that
per cent beer could be Intoxicating
! in what it calls abnormal usage"
but everybody knows that this is ex-
actly the usage" to which thou
sands of people would put it.
! For that matter, whisky is not in
itoxicating, either, unless you drink
J too much Of it.

other day many stopped in wonder
Newspapers were bought and the
front pages scanned for news of
great Importance.
Finding nothing unusual in the
papers some made their way to the
tabernacle. There they learned that
Henry Percell, humble sexton who
had heralded the march of the world
for 40 years, was dead and the bell
was tolling for him.
For four weeks he waited in a
hallway and took the cream off two
bottles of milk left in the early
hours by the milkman. Also he took
two crullers from the bag left each
morning by the baker. Weeks later
while calling on a young lady her
mother remarked that she was glad
that the milk and doughnut thief
was leaving her alone. More weeks
later, and the milk thief and the girl
were married and the mother was
told Of the identity of her son-in-law
Today the milk thief is successful
man, we'll known and popular in the
newspicture business.
Mike Cassaza, taxi chauffeur
once broke his arm cranking a ma
chine. The other day his car stalled
in the middle of traffic at Eighth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street and
despite the imprecations of a traffic
cop and other drivers he refused to
touch hand to the crank. He kick
ed it till the engine started.
A Broadway theatrical man loaned
a friend large sum of money with
the understanding that it was to be
returned on certain date. The
theatrical man went abroad and went
broke at Monte Carlo. He wanted to
collect the debt but did not want to
cable a direct demand for it. After
some thought he wired his friend
just one word, "Well?" The friend
wired back, "Well, well!"
The superintendent of the apart

that 80 per cent of his troubles IN
the past year have been caused by
radio. when the new families NOV.
ed in the first of October there was
a great scramble. for positions for
aerials on the roof. There are 80
radios in this building .and almost
everyone has wire on the roof.
There was a fist fight up there the
other night when one man caught
another hooking wire on his
aerial"

"Not only that" replied Mr..

They Know What Nation Wants
By Chester H. R0well

Any citizen or any editor has the right personally
to be opposed the world court but there at least be
longer any question that the predominant public opinion
is in favor of it.
When the House of Representatives composed of men
lust returned from campaigning among the people in every
district in the United States went out of its to vote
3O2 to % for resolution advocating the court that set
tied it.
These congressman might conceivaby be wrong the
abstract of the proposition but they can not
ably be mistaken to what the people think about It,
And when public argument finally sinks to the bugaboo
that France might drag into the world court to get
of it's debt to u.s. intellectual barenness of the oppos

New York, March 17.-Only a doz-
en- times in the past 40 years has the
great bell in the Broome Street Ia
bernacle tolled. The man who toll

The last time till now was Nov. II,
1913. when peace for the world was
acclaimed. It tolled when America
entered the war. 1t rang it's dirge

meant the coming to pass of some

world knew. So when it rang the

"The really dangerous kind of
bacteria are those which have
formed the habit of living off the
human body.
"And science has learned how to
fight these. 1t has learned that
these parasites, if removed from the
body, do not know how to make a
living.
"Some have LEARNED to live in

body, but in water, dust, earth and
air most of them die quickly.
water often is blamed for ty-
phoid fever. And the fever can be
caught from drinking water, but if
it is, it is because the water is
drank before the germs have had
time to die"

Paris is forever doing something new.
Now it is announced that, in order better show off
of the fantastic looking shoes fashnobae in the

dancers ankles level with the diners eyes.
That's not foolish it sounds. Most of US like to
dance ourselves watch others dance
And the dancers feet should be-the principal

be accommodation to spectators.

Come" said the March Hare and
he marched right in and went
through big red velvet room all
hung with pictures and crystal lights
as though he owned the place.
He pushed open a glass door and
walked down the aisle of the theater
followed by the Twins.
Then up onto the stage he climbed
and pushed back the edge of the big
curtain and squeezed in-the Twins
still following.
"Where's Bimbo?" he asked. A
man in his shirt sleeves pulling at a
rope, looked over his shoulder.
First dressing room," he answered.
On went the Hare. He was most
determined person, SO it is easy to
see why the Fairy Queen chose him
