Americans Miss Real Coffee.
The Americans who have voluntarily
expatriated themselves that you may
see Europe and the rest of the world
through American eyes are an inter-
esting crew. They wander endlessly
in search Of news and features. Nearly
Mediterranean carries at least one
American newspaper man. They cruise
the Volga, the Danube and Rhine. In
the PyreneeS and the Alps one Is sure
to meet American newspaper men.
Geneva is overrun by them when
the League Of Nations has a meeting.
Hitlerites cannot stage demonstration
anywhere in Germany that an Ameri-
can journalist does not see it. Inter-
national conferences in London and
Paris attract scores of American writ
ing men from all over Europe. And
wherever they are their universal COM
plant Is that they cannot get real
American apple pie and American
coffee with real cream. Also that
European cooks do not know how to
fry ham and eggs.
Europe fails to win American Jour-
nalists away from their homeland. I
can assure you that the seasoned Amer
lean newspaper men who are en-
deavoring to interpret European affairs
for the United States press are patriots
who will not Intentionally mislead their
readers.

BERLIN, MISUNDERSTANDING to
statistics recently issued by the German
Railroad Co., 952 fast passenger trains
were operated daily on regular schedule
during the Summer Of 1881 and o.
other fast trains during the height of

1.046. They carried daily 1,085 through

one train to another, thus obviating the

hair. She worked in my Office.
The president of the company
called me on the carpet and
wanted me to fire the young
lady, which I declined to do.
To his way of thinking,
bobbed hair was a sure sign
OF an abandoned woman.
I recall the first lacy whom
I ever saw lighting a cigarette.
All of us who witnessed the
performance were sure that
she was no better than she
ought to be.
Only recently I ran across
an old copy Of the Book of
Rules" issued by a co-educa-
tional college a quarter Of a
century ago. It consisted of
80 pages Of Thou shalt notS,"
and, having prohibited almost
everything, 1t wound up with
this blanket Injunction:
In addition to the fore
going rules, students are ex-
pected to refrain from card
playing, dancing and theater
attendance, and to observe the
other common rules of moral
tty"
The Old Testament contains
many preceptS, but in the
book Of Micah there Is one
verse which Is a summary of
them all. 1t reads:
HE hath showed thee, o
man, what Is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy. God?"
This Is the basis Of all
morality. This is fundamental
and unchanging.
But whether hair or petit
coats are long or short Is
nothing to worry about.
