life is nearly over. l do not think
that l can bear to live much longer
in world populated by these girls

that you are very much in love with
Leslie. The reason l know this is
because since you have been married
to her you have paid no more atten-

as thoughtful of her unless there is
some woman about who can tell him

Naylor, who used to peep over the

The lumber yard at Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirty Eighth street has
passed and another skyscraper is
going up there. The stacks Of lum-
Der were an unusual sight in the

of the most valuable parcels of real
estate in the business district.
All of Manhattan is solid stone,
right up to, the surface of the
ground: This means that much
blasting with dynamite is necessary
when foundation is dug. Great
mats of steel wire, closely meshed,
are swung into place over the explo-
sive charge. These mats break the
force Of the explosion and prevent
fragments Of rock from being thrown
out upon passersby.
Rose Mullaney is one Of Broad
ways leading feminine wits. She
originated that widely used bit of
slang, "Be, yourself!" Her latest
joke is about bootlegger who de-
iivered q bottle Of wet goods to a
customer, guaranteeing it to be "pre-
war stuff" what warp asked the
the customer. "Tong war;" came
back the bootlegger without mo-
ment's hesitation.

"Oh. may we all go? We all want

ton, from which we shall Ultimate
ly get a better bargain. But cher
ish no hope that we shall ever be
paid anything like in full. If the
debt is ever balanced, it will be by
3 bookkeeping fiction.
Also, dismiss all the usual argu-
ments. These arguments are based
either on moral or business princi-
pies. The problem is economic;
which@'is different. Demonstration
that it is right and fair for France
to pay has nothing to do with the
case. Neither hts the analogy of
what business men would or should
do in the same circumstances. France
should do what is economically pos
sible. France can ultimately raise
the money. If it were one business
firm owing another, that would mean
that it could pay the money. It may
or may not mean that, in an inttrna-
tional debt. If you think that the
cases are exactly alike, you have not
begun to study the question. And
if you think that this means that
there is a moral difference between
the two obligations, you do not un-
derstand. There Is difference, and
it is not moral. If business han
has the money, he can pay. That is
the whole question. With a nation,
it is only part of the question.
A British enthusiast proposes the
death penalty for bootlegging. He
need not bother about imposing it.
1t will impose itself. soon enough,
if the bootleggers consume their
own stuff. And, some of them are
imposing it on each other, in gun
fights over the stuff. Like the
Chinese army, whose men are SOL
diers when the government EFFORTS
their pay from the people and ban

the booze-runners are bootleggers
and hijackers by turn, according to
which law they violate to get their
goods. =" az

JOINS THE CRITICS

umba College has joined the critics Of the modern euca
tona system His annual report is devoted to analysis
of the educational trend especially of education under the
control Of the state.
the state and the narents a. REGARDS
He contends that under the present system children
driven from the streets into the school and that the
process of education enforced by the state often
within the category of punishment His idea of education
is that should be made attractive that the youth will
regard the advantages of education privilege
rather than obligation
Speaking about modern books he says they not
thorough interesting the he studied when
young Dverting Influences he contends in modern edu
cation have made for superficaty. Mathematics is al
most lost art he and the speech of the stu
dent crude and vulgar.
Mr.. Butler is great advocate of the teaching of the
Bible in the schools from strictly literary standpoint with
out reference theology dogmas. He believes such
teaching would improve the English of students and create
a love for all literature.

another. He really thinks he can

The other veterans say outright what

Browns have the strength TO win

base their claim on the changes in
the pitching staff.

have Leo Dixon, last year with ST.

Outside the box the Browns are the
same a 8 last season. Tobin, Jacobson,
Ken williams and Bennett are the
outfielders,- with Joe Evans in a util-
ity role. Sisler is playing stronger
game at first than last season, his
first after a long illness. McManus

Robertson at third make up the reg
ular infield. as in 1924. Rice and
