DETHRONED KING
 MAY HUNT FOR JOB
George Of Greece Likely to Come
 to America

Bucharest, July 16 king George of Greece, throneless and jobless, soon may go to the United States to seek work.
 Since his forced abdication in 1925, the young sovereign virtually has been living on the charity of friends and relatives. He and his pretty wife. Elizabeth. the eldest daughter of Queen Marie of Rou- mania, lived until recently in two small rooms of the royal palace at Cotroceni, near Bucharest.
 They did not eat with the king and queen of Rumania, but had their meals alone in their modest apartment and generally lived in the most frugal way.
 Funds Give Out
 Now, however, their funds have given out, and the former king of the Helenes says he must find a job. Friends in the United States have urged him and the former queen to go there, promising both of them remunerative positions.
 But Elizabeth, who is a retiring girl, is afraid they will not be able to stand the commercial and social pace in America.
 For the present they have separat- ed, George going to his Danish rela- tiyes in Copenhagen, and Elizabeth joining her mother -in-l law, former Queen Sophie tsister of Kaiser Will helm) at Florence. Later they will meet in Florence. and then decide on their future plans.
 Loses Hope

Dolan, who was charged in the
confession of O'Connell with the re.
sponsibility for the offer that was
made to Heinie Sand. the Philadel-
phia shortstop, mot to bear down, :"
in a game against the Giants. made
a personal appeal to the commits
sioner during the recent baseball
meetings here.
The former coach of the Giants
never did admit any guilt in con-
nection with the case and he told
his friends he was sure that he
would be able to clear his name
and get back into the game.
The cases Of the two banished
players were discussed by Com
missioner Lands and the advis-
DRY committee during the winter
meetings and it was understood
that John A. HeydIer, president
of the National League, expressed
himself against any act Of elem
ency and opposed any modified
ton of the penalty that drove
the pair out Of organized base
ball.
There IL some sympathy felt by
the officials for O'Connell, but they
take the stand that O'Connell adj.
mitted his guilt and that Dolan
escaped by failing to remember any
conversations mentioned by O'Con.
nell They feel that they couldn't
restore O'Connell to good standing
without lifting the bars also from
Dolan.
The case of O'Connell IL con-
sidered to be similar to that Of Buck
Weaver, the former third baseman
for the Chicago White Sox, who
was involved in the 1919 scandal.
Many baseball men feel that
Weaver was not involved as deep

players and that his crime was

Kingdom of Sweden
Over l,2OO Years Old

BY comparing evidences from two
independent sources, the Nordic sagas
and recent archaeological discoveries.
Prof Birger Norman of the UpSala
University. in Sweden, has come to
the conclusion that as a unified king
dom Sweden is about 200 years old.
and therefore one of the most ancient
in Europe. Anthropological measure
ments of skeletons unearthed in seV-
eral parts of the country tend to prove
that direct ancestors of the present
population lived in Sweden at least
5. 600 years ago. and probably much
longer. other remnants, such as am
ber beads, throw much light on the
Swedish foreign trade of 1000 years
ago. Even In the extreme North the
Swedes preceded the Lapps and Firms,
about $500 B. c.
AS historical sources the sagas were
once discounted by research workers,
but now Prof. Norman, who is both a
linguist and archeologist, has backed
them up with the results of recent eX-
cayations, and his deductions are that
the chief incidents are founded on ac-
tual occurrences. Originally Sweden
was divided up into a number OF
smaller kingdoms. and Prof. Norman
believes that the process OF unl1catloh
took place much longer ago than pre-
vious writer's have supposed. The hnal
submission of the Southern provinces
to the "Svea' kings of the central
regions did not take place until the
latter half of the eighth century, ne
concludes, or just before the beginning
of the Viking period.

T is sign of the times. perhaps new
disease of civilization, that we are all wor-
rying ourselves about the problems OF life
and the future Of humanity.
I find nowhere a settled fa1th IN human
progress, or a steady optimism in the endu-
rance Of civilization or the increase or indlVid-
ual happiness. Rather, one seems TO sec In all
classes kind Of doubt as to whether we are
the right road to happiness at ALL ana
whether this civilization Of ours as We know
it and as some of us like 1t. is not already
showing signs Of decay and dissolution.
This Is rather a new mentality. BEFORE the
war-at the time, for instance, when RI. e.
Wells typical of the modern young mind
in England, and to some extent its intellectual
leader-there was growing belief in the rapid
development of civilization. Education was
going to Kill ignorance stupidity, cruelty.
Science was going to make cleaner job OF
life. eliminating disease, dirt and drudgery.
The intelligence of the average man would
create social system by which there would
be less work for higher rewards. security for
the common folk, peace between nations and
a high standard of happiness.
Something has gone wrong with that CHEEKY
outlook on life In it's place grave doubts
have crept In.
1t was the war, Of course which overthrow
that optimism in the progress Of human ma
ture with a frightful shock. We saw the
degradation of human intelligence. We saw
cruelty dominant instead ofs~dead. We saw
the most civilized nations in the world tear
ing themselves to pieces by the aid Of that
science and education which to have
lifted us into new spheres Of happiness. Now.
since the war, the effects of that enormous
tragedy-the rain it left behind and the price
that must still be paid-have darkened the
philosophy Of every and woman who
tries to solve the riddle of life and find some
kind Of answer to the secret questions OF the
soul.
Are all these so-called conquests Of science
blessing or a curse to men? Are they going
to lift us up destroy us? Do they add any
thing to the sum of human happiness?

ment Mockery-Foolish and Unnecessary
Statutes Blamed After Survey.

The results we should aim at in
fixing penalties for crime should be
curtailment Of crime. Penalties must
be adjusted to meet this end. The
most important element to be at
tained is the certainty Of punishment.
Where the penalties are too severe
they often defeat themselves, for q
Judge or Jury will sometimes let an
offender go scot-free. rather than give
the penalty prescribed. Too mild a
penalty Is likewise a mistake, even
deranged men can and do consider
the consequences Of contemplated
actions before taking them. AS an
illustration of the way criminals, and
largely unbalanced criminals, can
still reason and weigh the penalties

Surplus Laws Dangerous.
Perhaps one Of the most potent in
fluences for law violation are those
lawmaking bodies which seem to be-
lieve that they can justify their
existence only by passing additional
laws, and which pass law after law
without regard to either its funda-
mental soundness or it's practicability.
This, of course, Is thoroughly wrong.
We have too many laws. not too few.
What we need is less laws and
stricter enforcement of those that
exist. Laws that for one reason or
another do not meet with the ap-
proval of the majority of community
are particularly pernicious. In this
category comes the Volstead law.
Perhaps no law in the community has
contributed more to the breakdown
Of the respect for law.
Entirely outside Of the moral or
constitutional aspect Of this law, it
has brought about law violation on
a more commercialized and gigantic
scale than our country has ever
known before. This law has built up
