"You Know How Kids Are!"


Did Miss Florence Cochran, 19-year-old school
teacher of the belt, tell her little pupils naugh-
~ stories did she not?
And just what was the story which, retod by
Willy or Susie at the paternal supper table, irked
the rascibes of the vale of Indianola Ia?
Was it the about the two Irishmen who, or
the one about the drummer who, or the one about
a why does chicken cross the road?
Anyway, Jndianola is "all het up But the kids
are tckled, for injunction obtained By the d.
rectors against Miss Florence teacher has closed
he school. str
Miss Cochran is fighting to get back in, decar-
ing that if the children heard naughty stories, it
was not from her. She in part tells her own story
to the effect that of the big boys peddled about
a. risque story told him by his papa.
Now, not all the evidence is in, but we are rather
betting on Miss Florence, for we know kids.
We would not insult Miss Florence's intelligence
by assuming that she has lived 10 years and knows
no risque stories.
But girl who chooses teaching as her job is not
apt to be so dumb as to tell her stories to her
pupils.
We know kids. We all know how kids love to be
bearers of news, drop stones ker-plunk as it were
in Che calm and stagnant mill-pond of home. And
kids soon learn that nothing makes such coed
splash in this home mill pond as some gossip about
Chose in places of authority.

A London scribe breaks forth in three-column

He writes that New York is the "City Of lnnu-

and high rents, which prohibit kitchens, explain
this.
While he admits that New York is the most
fragrant example Of any American city of restaurant
dining, he comments that practically all America
is dining-out nation
It lis interesting to note the many paragraphs
which he devotes to the cafeteria. He tells just
how the patron provides himself with tray and Sc
lects his dishes from steaming row, thus saving
time and labor.
This European viewpoint is interesting for two
reasons First, because it is splendid example Of
how impossible it is for any stranger in cur midst
to get vision of America, the many-sided, as q

Women in Politics

If women would make themselves felt in polite.
they "must take New Year resolution to drop
feministc> and sex-conscous ideas and get down "a
work." according to Miss Sarah Butler, vice presi
dent Of the Republican woman's state committee Of
New York.
Miss Butler continues that "the day Of the fem
ninist crusader in the United States is definitely
over and the only way for women to function
fully in the political field is for them to start at
the bottom and learn the game from the war can
vassng stage on up"
In short, women, to be valuable in politics, must
be people, workers, not women.
The queer part Of it is that most men, if not all,
will agree with Miss Butler, despite the fact that
not many years ago when suffrage was
not yet fact, they talked about "the womanly in
fuence in politics." their purifying presence" and
refused to believe that women could contribute as
people and workers, granting that they could con-
tribute as women.

Faith divided Saturday and Sunday
between the hospital and the Jail.
Banning, the district attorney, was
showing an unexccptedly indulgent
attitude toward Cherry, in permitting
her father, her brother and her sis
ter. Faith, to see her daily until the
grand jury should meet on Monday.
Accomranied by Warden Little, who
could hardly take his fascinated gaze
off the beautiful, cheerful little pris-
oner, Faith and Cherry walked arm
and arm down one Of the intermin-
able corridors of the country jail to
Cherry's cell, which was mercifully
isolated.
"Just look what Bob sent me, the
angel" Cherry cried, as the great
barred door swung open at the turn
of the warden's key. She pointed to
the neatly made bed, it's ugly, gray
painted iron framework almost con-
cealed under fresh, fragant white
linens and woolly blankets, and to
the gayly colorcd Czecho- Slovakian
rug which almost completely covered
the cold, concrete floor.

an effort to keep back the tears.
"George is sweet" Faith acknowl-
edged, with catch of the breath.
"And I've gotten simply loads of
kilograms and letters" Cherry ran
on brightly. "Of course the matron
opens them first, butts wonderful
to know that strangers, as we'll as

When she left the Jail, Faith took
with her the absolute certainly that,

ed Cherry, the girls life was ruined.

The ''Price" We Pay,

Another pedagogical mind has contributed to the
war debt complex. President Frank J. Goodnow of
Johns Hopkins university says: "The friendlness
Of Europe is great price for the United States to
pay in order that all war loans may be collected"
President Goodnow errs exactly 100 per cent in his
facts as we see them. In the first PLACES America
has not asked the payment of "ALL war loans" 1t
has voluntarily scaled these debts to basis of tea
pacity to pay. In the second place, the "friendli-
ness of Europe" is not for sale. We cannot "buy"
it. Bought friendships are paradox. They never
outlast the traffic in which they are supposed to
have been purchased. If all that we did during the
world war, and all the material resources that we
gladly poured into Europc's stricken areas (not
loans but gfts), and all the billions that we have
already wiped eff the debt slate, have been an
insufficient price for the friendliness of Europe
why should we suspect that the gift of few more
billions-out Of the pockets of Americas taxpayers
would turn the trick! Is it not more logical to
anticipate that these credits like all Others prompt
~ would be absorbed and forgotten and Immediately
some new and additional "price" (such as a bower-
ing OF our protective tarffs) would be ccnjurei? ?
And is America at point where it must "pay" for
friendships? Are we back to the olden days
OF tribute? President Goodnow's thesis leaves
US cold America wants Eufope.s "fricnd-
ship" and respect" The former without the lat
