When borrowing. foresight's the
thing that you lack, If you don't
realize that you've got to pay back.
You're doing yourself much more
harm than you think. for debt sorta
puts a keen mind on the blink.
You're hurt by the spirit and pep
that it kills, when you're constantly
thinking of overdue bills.
The road may be tough. but
there's always a way to get to the
point where you always can pay.
Through carelessness, debt get your
goat If you let it, so don't spend the
dough that you earn till you get it,

nose.

clair's sort of literature. But there won't be
many of us who will not read his next cook In
which he promises to tell an impatiently walt
ing world all the things that are wrong with the
clergy. It will be sort of fun at that-to have
somebody daring enough to "talk back" to the
ministers! Full many Sunday morning DO
these men stand and tell their congregations some
of their many faults, and the sitting members OF
those congregations have no comeback. Maybe
Sinclair is the comeback self-appointed to be
sure, but comeback just the same. At that we
are willing to wager We'll finish the book more
in sympathy with the clergymen than with the
author We can't work up an awful lot OF en-
thusiasm about man who says there is no God
because he was not struck dead after having
challenged the Almighty to "smite him dead in
ten minutes" Arthur Brisbane answers this
foolish action on the part of Lewis rather well,
only he compares Sinclair to an ant, which we
think is a bit unfair to the ant. Here is what
Brisbane says:
Sinclair Lewis, novelist thinks
he doesn't believe in God, and that his
unbelief is important Last Monday, in
the role of clergyman, upside down,

Lewis publicly defies Divine Power to
strike him dead. He said, with lack Of
good taste, 81 defy Him to strike me
down within the next ten mintes. Moth
ing happened, so Mr. Lewis and the sort
that listen to such childishness doubtless
believe that something important has
been demonstrated.
Mr. Story of the Santa Fe, manages
railroads from Chicago to the Pacific,
with hundreds of thousands of railroad
ties, and ants everywhere busy between
the ties. One ant says "They say that
mysterious w. B. Story runs rhis rail
road, but 1 know there is no such person.
And just to prove if l defy him to come
and strike me dead. At the end of ten
minutes that ant would feel as proud as
Mr.. Sinclair Lewis
1t would not mean that Mr.. Storey
couldn't strike down the ant, or that the
Ruler of this universe couldn't strike Sim
clair Lewis dead, if it were worth while.

while. "4efE = - -~~~' +,
Just what the power is that manages
this and other universes with their bill

the teachings of faith. .'
The ancient philosopher said: eff

four legs and hump" Man who
is inclined to create God in lis
image, has invented many kinds of
gods attributing to them the baser
human passions, revenge, jealousy,
etc. Whatever supreme power may be,
it is surely beyond mans comprehension,

BILL FOR NEW JAIL
PASSEDBY SENATE
Measure Sets $500, 900 Lin.
Unjust Now Be Approved
by Conferees.

The bill to construct a new wing at
the District Jail to accommodate at
least 200 more prisoners was passed
by the Senate this afternoon.
1t had previously been favorably
ate inserted two amendments, which
will necessitate returning the measure
to the House for concurrence.
The only important change made by
the Senate was to insert limit Of cost
of $780, 900, which the House did not
attempt to specify.
This legislation was formulated by
the House and Senate District com
mittees following publication in The
Star of the experiences of Pete
Martini" who had himself committed
to the jail and spent several days In
obtaining first-hand information of
the unsatisfactory conditions in the
institution resulting from overcrowd-
ing. In the report which Senator
Capper made to the Senate, urging
adoption of the bill, it was stated:
Arrests and convictions within the
District have increased SO rapidly in
recent years that the District Jail is
constantly filled far beyond it's origi
nal capacity. The result is that short
term prisoners are crowded in cells
where they live penned up for days
at time without exercise, and where
they must sleep at night on insanitary
straw-filled pallets thrown on floor
Uttered with refuse"
The report pointed out that the en-
largement of the Jail has the approval

Monument Stolen
In Wrangle Over
Columbus Honor

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April
29.-Jealousy between the towns
of Aguada and Aguadilla over a
monument erected to Columbus in
1898 has led to citizens of each
charging the other with being re-
sponsible for the disappearance of
the monument last week. Records
deposited in its base also have
disappeared, and the police of both
towns are trying to trace them.
The monument was erected near
the Culebrinas River TO commem-
crate the 400th anniversary of the
landing of Columbus. More than
a year ago the two towns joined
in a movement to erect a new
monument, but factional disputes
