South Africans Seek
Autonomous Nation

AS predicted before the general cleo
ton in South Africa, the victory Of
the Nationalist party has meant a re-
vival of the plea Of secession from the
British Empire among large number
of Dutch-speaking South Africans who
ind the tie with Britain irksome.
The party leaders are combating this
movement, realizing that South Africa
cannot afford to displease the senior
partner of the British Empire (Great
britain is also South Africa's largest
outside market), but in the blackwell
the Beers are pressing strongly for es-
adjustment of a republic. The move
ment is strongest in the Orange Free
state, where the Beers have sent an
ultimatum to the leaders Of their party
that unless the notorious article w is
restored to the constitution of the Ma
tionalist party. they will form a new
Republican party.
Article Nv. nearly 20 years ago the
cause Of friction between the Beers and
British. demanded autonomy while de-
string peaceable relations with the
United Kingdom, with sovereign indie
pendence as the next step.

Movies Reduce Irish
''Drunks," Judge Says

A remarkable change in the condi-
tons Of life in Dublin Is indicated by
the diminuticn Of the number OF drunk
enness cases in the police courts. A
police magistrate Of long experience
was asked to what he attributed the
change. a..
II was not due merely to the fact
that drink Is now too expensive, but,
in his view, the betterment was largely
the work of the cinemaS. The movies
have no drinking facilities. They are
attractive to the young, and have drawn
youths away from the saloons. The
only DRINKS with whom the Judge has
to deal are old men, mostly pensioneo
soldiers.

Flaming Youth.

All over these broad United States
this Spring more than 1000, 900 Ameri-
can high school boys and girls have
been participating in the Sixth National
Oratorical Contest on the subject Of
the Constitution. Approximately $4,000
schools have been the scenes of their
Demosthenesian efforts. Forty-three
daily newspapers, in Is many regional
areas, including The Star. are sponsor
ing this great annual competition,
which terminates In the national finals
at Washington May IS.
A number Of leading Washingtonians
have had the privilege Of serving Is
judges in the District Of Columbia pre-
liminary contests, from which, on
April IS, the winner in the National
Capital zone will emerge. The testi-
mony of these judges, which is I'M
doubtedly typical of that Of others in
preliminary contests elsewhere in the
country, is that the standard Of ex-
cellence among these school orators Is
unmistakably improving from year to
year. In reasoning power, diction
and eloquence, the high school boys and
girls are revealing q steadily growing
talent in the art Of public speaking.
They manifest correspondingly grow
ing respect for the principles Of the
Constitution and the spirit Of ordered
liberty, which 1t inculcates.
The world hears much-too much
Of the responsibility and irreverence Of
flaming youth" It Is pilloried up hill
and down dale as frivolous and morally
decadent, It is contrasted with what
boys and girls were like in our day."
and always to "our" own advantage.
Well, it is seriously to be wondered
whether boys and girls in our day"
could have, or would have, thrown
themselves into the Constitution ora
torical contest with the skill, enthusi-
asm and devotion which mark these
annual matches in American high
school brains. Many old-timers doubt
it. They question, for one thing,
whether the teachers and teaching
Tin our day" approached present-day
standards, whatever the capacity Of
high school children then may have
been.
This much Is certain: The contest
Is proving, and proving to the hilt. that
not all our boys and girls are squander-
ing their energies on petting, smoking,
dancing and drinking. The time to quit
generalizing about the habits OF modern
school youth Is now.

to eliminate excuses which place q
heavy burden Of expense upon opera
tons. The expense naturally is passed
on to customers together with other
overhead costs and profits. More in
tensive training Of salespeople, to see
that sizes. colors. etc, are correct, is
being undertaken by many store man
ayers. But many customers also ap-
parently need some education In buy
ing.
There are no official statistics on the
cost OF returned goods" to merchandise
ing. Estimates, however, may be made
readily The minimum amount of re-
turns, by value, Is 4 per cent of sales.
II S30.000,000,000 of the annual retail
trade Of the United States is In classes
where returns apply, which probably
Is as conservative as the previous fig
ure, the value of goods returned each
year would be $1,000, 100000. With 6
per cent money, 1t would require $72,-
100000 to finance this amount.
4 4 Il
Several valuable, but restricted,
studies of returned goods have been
made-by Harvard University, Ohio
State University and other agencies.
With Uncle Sam In the picture, much
larger survey Is possible.
Studying reports from ~ department
stores in 9 cities Of the State. the Bust
ness Research Bureau of Ohio State
University found that in 1927, on total
sales Of 1921 600, 900, returns were $l0,-
707, 900, and estimated that total retail
sales in the State were $l,721 600 900,
with returned goods valued at $74,000,-
600.
In the Ohio study, the results Of
which recently were published, varia-
tions as between the value and the
number of returns were disclosed as to
the rank of the causes assigned by Gus
toners. In value, customers change
Of mind" ranked first, with "sent on
approval" second and wrong size asked
BY customer" third. while in number OF
returns wrong size" took the lead. with
change OF mind second and sent on APP
proval" third. In average value, 'sent
on approval ranked at the top, Gun
claimed" twill CALI came next. "spotting
and shrinking" ranked third and fourth,
and customers change of mind" came
sixth.
January is the great returned goods"
month apparently, doubtless due to mis-
fits In Christmas gifts. In Baltimore,
while returns Of gloves in December
were 8.5 OF gross sales Of that line, IN
January the percentage was 227: silk
and muslin underwear had return
percentage OF SIS In December. but
leaped to 1877 In January, for example.
But. reversing the high record OF prior
months, returns on Oriental rugs and
domestic floor coverings decreased
sharply in January. :.
The Ohio University study showed
that, by number, the average length OF
time goods are held by customers prior
to return Is one week, but per cent
are kept more than so days: that mems
goods are returned more slowly than
wonen's wear, and that whereas charge
accounts constituted, BY value, hall the
sales of the stores surveyed they ac-
counted for fotlr-fifths Of the returns.

unused Gifts"

Unused Gifts"
Lies accountability is measured not
by the extent of our gifts, but by the
use we make of them. In the parable
of the talents Jesus sought to illustrate
the uses men make Of LIES privileges
cording to the parable, every one Is
given certain gifts and commissioned to
invest them in such service as will rem
der them useful. The talents differ only
as to number. There Is no disparity In
quality, but In amount. OF those with
five and two talents record Of approved
service Is rendered and rewards given.
Only of one is an unsatisfactory account
made, that of the unfaithful, incident
servant, who hid his talent In the earth.
OF him Jesus speaks in terms OF con-
domination, as 1.-THE improbable servant, y
and upon him sentence Is passed. His
conspicuous sin was his failure to rec
ognize his obligation to use the gift
given him. The fact that he had but
one talent did mot render his response
bility less than the others, except In de-
gree. According to the parable, LIES
ultimate test Is based, not on the num-
Der or quality of the gifts we possess,
but on the use we make of them. Pow
erty or limitations of any kind have
never yet proved bar to genius. AS q
matter Of fact, poverty has frequently
been Its chief spur. Wealth has often
been the occasion for the defeat Of
genius. In the world of secular affairs
It Is a suggestive fact that most of our
present leaders came from humble and
restricted environments. Nothing SO
