concerning teas and those who would
purchase them.
Any one who would attempt to buy
the best tea on the market, no matter
what It's price, seemed to be nothing
more than the crassest sort Of idiot, if
one might judge from the remarks 4:
the clerk
He launched into a veritable landslide
OF wit, in the course Of which he re-
viewed the absurdity of such young
specimen OF humanity daring to aspire
to the teas OF raiahs and maharajahs.
When he finally brought forth a small
box valued at 81, the purchaser would
have put down 500, II only to show the
humorous old party that money meant
/ nothing at all to him. He would have
gone In debt to buy that box of tea

AS he left the store he had sudden
vision Of the Roman Senate, white
bearded. austere, deciding the fate Of
nations.
II seemed to him that was the way
ol ! men should act. Surely life is not
such howlingly funny proposition that
one must go to the end amid commissions
of mirth.
The handwriting is on the wall for
all mankind, and If we have steeed our
selves against the inevitable with Chris
tian hope and faith, 1t is veil. 1t does
not demand that mirth be part of the
pact.
There is something suprenely serious
in life, despite the best efforts of the
young people Of the human tribes to
make 1t out to be thing merely Of
laughter and dancing.
In the saner moments of every man

progress, both beautiful and greatly
serious, with some end in view which
no man has yet determined.
To merely jest In the face OF life is
futile.
Mirth becoming to young man loses
Its savor when issuing from the thin
lips of age. Even such ever-present
hilarity as that manifested by the al
Ways-humorous young person is often
enough sadly out of place.
Every one knows at least one such
young man or woman. Usually he Is
said to be "full of spirits" He Is 1.-THE
life OF the party" Honestly, too often
he is only blamed nuisance to every
body else.
He is the fellow who insists on duck
ing little Johnnie in the surf, thereby
soaring the little chap permanently, de-
priving him forever Of normal love Of
water
He is the ill-mannered wight who In

One watches. and sees that 1t is every

They get sneaking enjoyment out

know the contempt In which he is held

influence him to mend his ways, but
this type is so thick-skinned that 1t is
doubtful whether even that would help.

Court, when a case OF this kind was
brought before him, remarked that II
such disputes continued 1t would mean
the end of all downtown parking II
that is the feeling Of the authorities,
the thoughtful motoring fraternity
should rise up against the tactics Of
the minority which place parking In
such an unfavorable light. Eventually
Washington will have to follow the
lead Of other cities In doing away with
the parking of automobiles In Its con-
gested section. but certainly this time
should not be hastened by type of
motorist that Is menace to traffic
every time he gets behind the wheel
of his automobile. 1t is rather to be re-
gretted. therefore. that when one of this
breed has appeared in court he has not
been taught a lesson in considerate
driving. 1t is easy to determine re-
sponsibility for parking disputes and a
few stiff fines might result in the Ma
tional Capital, enjoying for some time
to come the benefits Of downtown

Infant Cigar Smoking.

An echo Of the Washington State
case OF a four-year-old boy smoking
cigars with his parents consent has
just been heard In Newark, N. j.. when
doctor found a two-year r-old boy,
whom he had been called in to treat
for measles, sitting up in bed smoking
strong, black stogie. Almost bowled
over from the shock, the physician i'm
mediately inquired of the parents as to
the reason for letting a child Of that
age use tobacco. He was answered that
all the six children irf the family had
gone directly from the nursing bottle
to cigar smoking in the belief that 1t
would make them good, strong men" "
The physician was further told that the
youngest Of the brood, four months old.
was just abotN to be taken of its milk
diet and furnished with seconds, "
which the father procured in the cigar
factory in which he worked.
1t IS distinctly up to the Newark a,I-
thorities to put an end to such an out
rageous conception Of child raising.
The mother and father are doing in
calculable harm to their offspring by
their ignorance OF the laws OF nature
and health. To allow child to absorb
nicotine in such quantities Is condemn
Ing 1t to all kinds OF future disabilities.
Certainly, If the parents are so reniss
in their duty to their children It Is I'D
to the city to step in and teach them a
lesson. In these days Of enlightenment
on some of the inexorable laws Of health
there can be no excuse for such a
condition.

Pershing, in Plea for Peace,
Wins Plaudits of Americans

Importance which is attached by the
public to the Memorial day address of
Gen. Pershing in favor OF outlawine
warfare is based upon the speakers
wide knowledge of war. While President
Coolidge was making a similar plea to
the American people at Gettysburg the
successful leader of the American Expe-
ditionary Force was speaking to the
world from the American cemetery at
st. Mihiel,

an aspiration than an expression of

port that ideal for which his men sac
rif1ced themselves. Whatever the pa
HloteerS may say. he commits himself
10 the side against war. And in so
doing he shows himself to be man
not only Of heart. but also of honor"
Commenting upon the fact that both
the President at Gettysburg and Gen.

the Briand-Kellogg treaty for the out

declares: 1t Is continued coRdemna-

Military leaders of the past are quoted
by the Pasadena Star-News. LET us

ulysses s. Grant as he was receiving
the surrender OF Gen. Robert K. Lee al
Appomattox, ending the Civil War And

horrors OF warfare and are antaRonistic

address. the Star-News continues: "Such
sentiments, coming from one OF the

taught by the horrors of the World War
are deep and lasting. While sentiment

The Farm March Ballyhoo.

The complaint heard everywhere
among the friends Of the farmers-or,
to be more explicit, among the profess
sional friends of the farmers-is that
their caravan" to Kansas City has been
laughed about and joked about from one
end Of the country to the other. They
point to the Iact that the farmers rep
resent a vital part of the producing
population of the United States; that
the farmers are in bad way; that they
need help and protection and are as
much entitled to it as the prosperous
East, which has waxed rich under a
party that has had the loyal support
Of these very farmers who are now
complaining. What is funny, they ask,
about the decision of thousands of
farmers to go to Kansas City and ask
their party TO elect a man who will
give them what they ask for?
There Is nothing funny about the
farmers march on Kansas City The
fact that it has been ridiculed is due TO
the ballyhooing and shouting on the
part Of those who arranged it. Their
claims and their associations have been
preposterous. If, as the leaders declare.
one hundred thousand farmers from
the middle section Of this country should
arise spontaneously and march on
Kansas City, 1t would be no laughing
matter, even though they did their
marching behind the steering wheels Of
automobiles. The funny thing about
the business has been the claims and
the refusal to modify them in the face
Of facts. There are, perhaps, hundreds
OF farmers coming into Kansas City.
But there is nothing spontaneous about
their coming. The whole business
smacks 50 strongly Of well known
phase Of political buncombe that it de-
feats its purpose before 1T is begun.
The farm problem, Of course, is an
economic problem. 1t lends Itself natu-
rally to use as political issue. But as
long as the farmers allow 1t TO be used
as political issue, they viii get no
where with their plcadings for relief
To believe that one candidate for the
President is more capable than another
Of obtaining the economic measures
necessary TO help agriculture Is ridicu-
ious and absurd. And that Is what
makes the farmers march 10 Kansas
City ridiculous and absurd. The farm
ers belieYe--or, rather, the Kansas City
n1arciers beiieye--that they viii gain
the relief they seek by bringing about
the defeat Of Herbert Hoover They be-
lieye they viii obtain the relief they
seek by having Frank o. Lowden nomi-
mated. And this Immediately removes
farm relief from the field Of economic
problems, where 1t belongs, and makes
1t an everyday political issue. And
political Issues, when anaiyzed, are often
conducive 70 a merrinent that Is very
similar 10 the amusement produced by

Perhaps the waggish old party ought
to be treated with charity.
In world filled with so many and
varied types OF humanity the humorous
o. gentleman no doubt has his place
His motives undoubtedly are of the
best.
He Is brimming with the milk of hu-
man kindness, thus discounting the old
slander that men tend to become
Grabbed as they advance In years.
He sees the fun in things he Is OPP
timistic, he loves his fellow men. What
more might one ask, in Heavens name?
Yet somehow one is not satisfied with
him, with this kindly. waggish old party
who insists on greeting you with at
tempted wit and humor. often sadly out
of place, invariably anything but funny.
His years and his disposition do not
agree. His puppylike gambols are so
terribly out of place! The picture of
Father William, who stood on his head
and insulted his Juniors by recommend
ing an ointment for their muscles, comes
to mind.
One OF these young men got the idea
not long ago that he would like to pur-
chase some tea of an unusual sort,
something away up at the top Of the
heap.
He wanted something. he told him.
self, that was the ne plus ultra of teas.
the finest in the land, the best the world
produced.
He had drunk enough common tea.
He must have the sort the princes and
the rajahs drink
No sooner had he come to this con-
clusion than he thought of certain
firm which specialized In such fancy
items. He would go there and make a
demand for the best.
Feeling in his pockets. he ascertained
that he had enough money to meet the
tariff. A pound of tea, even If 1t we're
the sort drunk by the greatest rajah In
the world, could not exactly bankrupt
a man.
It was with something amounting to
trepidation. however, that he waited
through the imposing portals.
He selected serious looking clerk Of
elderly aspects. Here, he told himself,
Is a man who will take me seriously
when ask for some of the best tea in
the world.
Alas, what mistake he madel
X
The elderly gentleman was one OF
those waggish old parties who must
have their joke though the heavens
fall.
\ CLINT was in his faded blue eyes as
the young man made his request. His
thin lips parted In crooked smile.
Are you sure you have enough money
to buy it?" he asked in a tone that no
doubt he thought was pleasant, but to
his victim only sounded impudent.
When one honors firm by his pres
ence the least the hands can do Is
accord the patron ordinary civility.
Even In the gtIise of humor such re-
marks are very much out of place
Customers are easily offended, even If
young men. (Perhaps more so. indeed) J
Having personally selected the wrong
clerk. our hero now went on to his
second mistake. He should have kept
a serious face. but instead decided to
reply in like bantering vein.
