Plus Fours in London.

Fashions in clothes change rapidly,
even in the strongholds of conserva-
tive costume. For a good many years
there has been no more staid sar-
torial style than that Of the London
business men. Down in the city"
which is that portion Of the British
metropolis within which the major
part Of the financial and commercial
business Is transacted. the proper
mode for clerks. as well as managers
and higher executives, has been the
frock coat and high hat. In the lower
ranks Of the business personnel, how
ever, the frock coat was not per-
emptory. But for years and years,
almost to the point beyond which the
memory Of man does not run, the silk
hat, or topper" has prevailed as a
badge Of business. Now. 1t appears,
the sartorial aspect Is changed. Bank
clerks are adopting plus fours,' or
excessively baggy knickerbockers sug-
gestive Of the golf links, and, Of
course. no topper can go with such a
garb. So pronounced has become the
new style, especially at week ends,
that London bank managers have re-
volted. A ban has been put upon the
plus-four outfit behind the grills and
desks Of London's financial institu-
tions. In one bank a sign has been
posted: You are training for bankers,
not bunkers." Even though the plus.
fours have lost out for the present
the mere fact that they have been
worn at all in the precincts long
sacred to black garb. frock coats and
toppers is significant Of the great
change that has come over the Lon
don spirit, a change that may be at.
tributed TO the war, which had a
devastating effect upon a number Of
cherished British institutions.

Christians, not be needless but do
what we can for the worthy poor

brothers OF the lower animal kingdom
who cannot speak for themselves.
Some poor family In your immediate
neighborhood may be in need of coal,

horses are well blanketed on cold,
windy days. If living in the country

Remember the Lord does not conf1ne
His mercies to man alone and He bids
the members of His human family

Men say punkin pie because they

stretch a point, for the nonce, and
order pumpkin pie, but the very words
in their mouths have a strange. un-
wholesome taste. just as a spice pie
has when 1t sits impudently on a
counter and masquerades as what 1t

1t is almost impossible, in a big city

In the pumpkin itself, however, the

and the airplanes and dirigibles are
subject to an especial risk.
! An international agreement to pro-
hibit submarines was sought at the
Washington arms limitation confer
ence of 1920, but came to naught
through the refusal Of France to
agree. Great Britain was then openly
in favor of eliminating undersea craft.
The French objection was based on
the ground that the loss Of submarines
to a nation with small navy would
be far greater than the countries like
the United States and Great Britain,
with larger numbers Of other types
upon which to depend in time OF war.
The American position was that of
willingness in case Great Britain and
France agreed. Failure of that agree
ment caused the abandonment of the
proposal. Now again Great Britain
is moving toward submarine prohibi-
ton. There is nothing to indicate
that a change of French sentiment
has occurred. OF course, there will

all the major powers agree.
During the late war the submarine
played a very large part. Had it not
been for the German undersea craft
the war would have been ended In
much shorter time. The destruction
of mercantile as we'll as naval ships
by the submarines of the central
powers was enormous. 1t was their
ma jor weapon of both offense and de-
fense. Now German objection to a
submarine ban would not be effective.
But what guarantee could possibly be
given against the secret construction
of undersea craft, which can be fabri-
Gated within small compass and un-
der. cover, for possible use in war?
There lies the difficulty about any
form of arms limitation. The fact
that the submarine is a dangerous
risk in time Of peace is not 80 much
to the point in this consideration as
whether any ban, however fully sub
scribed to by the nations, can be re-
lied upon to lessen the likelihood of
war or to reduce its horrors.

versal urge for learning in this coun.
try. Both young men and young
| women are seeking instruction in
special lines as well as in general
courses. The admittance Of women
to business pursuits has not lessened
their wish for collegiate training. This
Is perhaps due to the fact that the
professions as we'll as business have
been opened to them. The so.called
fancy education Of girls at semi
naries and schools Of that character,
finishing schools" as they have been
termed, is not sufficient for them.
They want serious collegiate work in
preparation for business and profess
sional careers.
Endowments have been greatly IN
creased recently for virtually all of
the higher institutions of learning in
this country. And yet the cry comes
constantly for more funds from every
quarter. and from schools and col
leges and universities Of all grades
and sizes. More buildings, larger
faculties and more athletic equipment
and the social" facilities are in de-
mand, all costing money. Particular
ly, however, is there need for more
buildings. The overcrowding OF schools
is chiefly felt in clasrooms and dormi.
tories. and laboratories are also needed.
State aid is given. but 1t does not
suffice. Millions of dollars are being

Two "Master Minds" at.
The End of Their Rope

What will become of the glory that
is Chapmans when that worthy
bangles from a moose around his
neck?" is presented by the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times.
Sooner or later the wrongdoer
smart and agile as he may be, and
proficient as he may have become
through experience, finds himself
tripped up" declares the Dayton Daily
News, affirming that they all pay
sooner or later; none of them get away
with it, ever" Concurring in this
opinion. the Utica Observer Dispatch
says: "Gunmen. bandits, thugs. hold
up men, burglars and criminals of all
classes may have brief success and
run a startling career. But the old
law of compensation gets in its work,
and payment comes home In one form
or another. There is nothing but fail
ure in such life as that for the young
man-failure of the most dismal and
horrible nature"
Discussing the lack OF happiness in
the life of the criminal and even of the
chance to enjoy his Ill gotten gains,
the Portsmouth Star says: Every
crime like those committed by Chap
man and Anderson is their farewell to
friends and family, to the walks Of life
that have known them, to those who
trusted and believed in them. 1t Is
farewell to every worthwhile thing
in the world, and. moreover, the
irony of it is that the money for which
they have thrown away all these
things Is Of no value to them because
their lives are haunted by the fear of
capture, their nights are filled with
unrest and their days by the spectre
of the law. Without peace of mind,
that comes only with peace Of con-
science, there can be no happiness, no
comfort, no enjoyment of even the
simplest pleasure. These vital truths
are worth recalling, according to the
Manchester Union ain a time when
the old-faShioned maxms have ap-
peared to be in danger of losing much
of their force with a sophisticated and
impatient generation, restive under
restraint, and full of strange notions
of a right to self Repression in any
way that suits fancy
On the subject of the inevitable con-
f1ict between organized society and the
professional criminal the Chattanooga
News says: Society Is left no choice.
1t is forced to exterminate the. Dutch

destruction at their hands. Such a
man sets himself above all law and
his murderous hand is against every

tempts to restrain him."
That organized society is not always
an easy winner ip its conflict with
criminals is the contention OF the
Watertown Daily Times, which believes
that ''the law has Jared rather badly
in many cases and these two stand out
in decided contrast The Times finds
that one of the reasons for this stu
alton is "the barricade of technical
tiles" often so great that the prose.
cution cannot penetrate them. But

Dutch" Anderson and Gerald Chap
man have had their meteoric fling at
society and it's legal conventions.
They have Haunted the laws of God
and of man. but today one lies dead
while the other stands within the val
ley of the shadow, awaiting the eXeCu-
toners touch upon the shoulder. 1t
is but natural that their criminal ca
reers, a bit more daring, n bit more
picturesque, than some of the others,
should attract the attention of the
press of the country. 1t is also nat
ural that moral should be drawn.
"The glory and the headlines fade" I"
says the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. THE
grim truth that killing must be paid
for one day or another remains.
Dutch Anderson, Chapman's pal. is
dead. His career of violence ended
violently. Soon Chapman will be dead
too. Who would exchange places to-
day with Dutch Anderson" questions
the Eagle, "or with Gerald Chapman,
thinking. thinking, thinking of the
bitter end?"
"The miserable end of these two
darlings of the underworld, crafty, in
telligent, reckless, is that of all their
ilk, with but unimportant exceptions,
the Springfield Union points out, for
"the swagger of the criminal is but
brief gesture between uprightness and
despair" But are such criminals In
telligent? The Saginaw News Courier
thinks not, stating that 1.-The very fact
that they become habitual criminals
denotes inferiority," and contending
that mo man worth his salt has to
go about, revolver armed, to engage
in robbing and killing his fellow crea-
lures" In this opinion the Indianap-
oils News agrees, as it says, With all
of Dutch Anderson's reputed intelli-
gence, he finally was cornered by
Charles Hammond, Muskegan, Mich,
city, detective, and shot-killed by his
own revolver, which the detective
wrested from him even after Anderson
had fatally wounded the detective" :"
The News finds in this end nothing
that suggests the superbandit of ira
dition." AS the New York World
graphically describes the situation, ''in
the last act of his own drama, iron
fcally enough, he is minor character,
around the body of a detective lying
dead in Muskegon, Mich.
In fact, as the Akron Beacon-Jour-
nal sees it, when Anderson was de-
tected he played a towards part.
What a come-down for a master
mind" the Journal exclaims. He
fought like a rat in a corner" is the
way the Boston Transcript describes
the struggle in it's discussion of what
it calls "sordid story" The Tran
script sees nothing in the facts to
justify the glamour that has been
thrown around the careers of this man
and of Chapman. the count of Gram
ercy Square, Anderson was de-
PRAYED. The fate which overlook him
was richly deserved" declares this
journal, land Chapman is equally

Unprof1table Prophecy.

Unprof1table Prophecy.
Once more the turkey-handsome bird
Is strutting in the sun.
Important news he has not heard
OF what must soon be done.
He preens himself in colors bright
And feels that he was made
The general public to delight,
When he goes on parade.
His is the fleeting happiness
Where ignorance is bliss.
The solemn facts which cause distress
He manages to miss.
Let's all give Thanks for blessings

And have some Thanks to spare
For any lack Of knowledge which
Will leave us free from care.

Anti-Submarine Sentiment.

Loss of a British submarine with a
large crew has stimulated a move
ment in England, which is noted with
approval in this country. for an in
ternational agreement to abolish the
undersea warcraft altogether. Speeches
have been delivered in England since
the MI disaster urging that a confer
ence of nations be called especially to
consider this question, or that at the
forthcoming League of Nations con.
ference on arms limitation this pro-
posal be made the chief subject of
consideration. Echoes of this British
demand are heard in this country,
several members of Congress indors-
ing it not alone on the score of the
particular risk Of submarine craft in
peace-time, but on the broader score
Of war abolition.
Submarines are particularly sub.
ject to disaster. There have been
many losses in peace-time Of these
undersea craft. Only recently an
American submarine was rammed at
sea by a steamer and sank with loss
sof. practically every lie. The toll of
heath in submarines in peace has
been shockingly heavy. 1t may be &C.
cepted as a certainty that as long as
these craft are built and used they
will continue to collapse under the
strain Of submergence or fail to re-
gain the surface after being sunk in

mechanism or failure OF organization.

pumpkin piei Sweet pumpkin pie!
I sing your praises to the sky!
When other men shall chant the
praise
OF homemade bread Of other days,
And tell about the layer cake
That old Aunt Mary use to make,
I'll listen with respectful eyes,
But I'll be thinking pumpkin pies!
When you recall your childhood years,
Your infant joys and awful fears,
What memory is in your mind
AS glances now are cast behind?
1t is, no doubt, a kitchen old,
Where you the youngest OF the fold,
Sat down before the oilcloth fair
And started in to eat your share.
A mighty pie 1t was, forsooth,
To quell the appetite of youth,
Twas gold brown, twas full Of glints
And all surprising Autumn tints;
1t held the magic of the farm,
The very countryside's still charm,
The pumpkin pie Of long ago,
That only childhood's tongue can
know.
Bring back, o friends. those far.gone
days,
When life was filled with Autumn
haze.
When everything Just tasted good"
That had the name and looks of food.
Our appetites are tickle now.
And ZeSt has left our food, somehow
But we can bring it back, though shy,
BY serving up pumpkin pie!
The man who has never tasted a
real pumpkin pie. fragrant and warm,
with the assistance of a glass of cold
milk. has missed one of the real de-
lights of this world.
Life Is sometimes melancholy bust
ness, at best, as any one can tell you
who has lived more than 80 years. The
apostles Of optimism have done their
heartiest best, and have managed to
do a great deal of good, too, but still
the fact fingers, and is forced home
upon us at varying intervals, that life
sometimes is not all 80 rosy.
Especially is this thought brought
home at this season of the year, when
gray clouds skirt across the heavens
as if in mockery of the fatrest hopes
of men and angels.
1t is well. therefore, when these IN
tangible but no less real visions Of
unwholesome despair force themselves
upon us-say at the moment when we
notice for the first time that there is
gray in our hair at the temples-it Is
well, / say, If we will cling ferVently
to our old standbys.
Some will clutch at one thing, some
at another.
AS for me, at this time OF the year
anyway-give me a big slice of real
pumpkin pie, and a big glass of rich,
cold milk, and will not ask for more,
l do not know why it is that the
subject of pie forces me to burst into
verse. Some months ago l emblazoned
the lemon pie upon this page in un-
dying lines. 1t seemed to me, at that
time. that no greater pie than lemon
could be manufactured.
l had forgotten pumpkin pie.
Only as a concession to the purists
have l solemnly spelled It out,
u-m-p-kl-n," pumpkin.
Deep in my heart it is punkin pie
If you will listen TO nine persons out
of ten order this delicacy of delicacies
in a restaurant, you will hear them
say:
And some punkin pie, please"
No, ! do not believe they pronounce
it that way as a concession to the
