Pensioner Must
Certify That He Lives.

Evening Times, Glasgow.-Strange
are the ways of government depart
ments! A friend of mine receives an
army pension, paid quarterly. Before
payment is made he must complete and
send in a form stating that he is still
alive He duly did SO for his December
payment. but got notice that the de-
partment had not received the form
certifying that he was alive in Sep
tember last, and therefore could not pay
for that quarter until he did so.

La Tribuna, San Jose.-We are ut

We see here in Costa Rica, for example,
three gentlemen wildly disputing for
the presidency of the country-not such
a desirable little bone even after one
has acquired it. Other people spend
hours debating which was f1rst-the
hen or the egg, how the milk got into

selves with any of these mystifying
things and would not so employ our

VI COMERCIO, Lima.-Don Edu-
ardo Costa, whose residence is
at No. 1872 Gale de ConfanZa,

at No. 1872 Gale de Confianza,
IL recently caused our printing Of
fees to complain about the con-
duct of at least one municipal employe.
1t seems that Don Eduardo, in the
interests of his own personal safety, as
we'll as of that of his family, decided
within the past few days to put new
street door on his house, the old one
having become quite dilapidated in the
course of the last half century or 50,
and no longer guaranteeing security to
the inmates Of the dwelling Accord
ingly, Don Eduardo Costa duly attended
to this project, and then, a few days
later. received a notification from the
public works department Of the mu-
nictpality to report at their offices.
When the gentleman did so, he was
informed that he had no right to 60
ahead with this work without first OBJ
tanning the proper authorizations
document validated in such cases by
the payment of a sol (about 80 centsD.
In consequence of this detection, the
official in charge of the public works
department fined Don Eduardo an ad-
ditional 10 soles to the payment of
which the latter raised vigorous pro-
tests and objections
Don Eduardo insisted that his only OBJ
ject in replacing the door was to insure
the greater safety of his household,
and that he was not contemplating any
radical improvement to the property.
At this, one of the employees of the re-
ferred to department began to abuse
Don Eduardo in most unWarranted
manner, making various political al
lusions not at all pertaining to the sub
ject. and bestowing upon him various
other insulting epithets.
Such treatment Don Eduardo very
much resents, and he desires publicity
for the whole incident by way of vim
dication and justice. He feels that
apologies, at least, are due from his
traducerS.
College Girls
Proclaim Hunger Strike.
Yenching Gazette, Chengfu-A Sc
lective hunger strike has been pro-
claimed by the girls in all four dormi-
tories of the Women's College as a pro-
test against, the poor quality Of food
being served. For some time mo ex-
ira dishes!' has been the watchword,
the girls contenting themselves with
the food served in return fo- their Sc
a-month board Eggs alone are exempt
from this boycott.
The girls are convinced that meats
and vegetables bought with the board
money have been withheld in part to be
served as extra dishes at additional
cost, hence the protest.
A land Office business" In eggs and
rapidly increasing interest in home
economics and cookery are the chief
developments at this stage of the boy
colt.

Higghligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

didates, in particular, discuss the rea-
sons why public employees should be
paid no salaries. A debate along this
line would soon explicate the reasons
why, and the chief of them would be
that the state functionaries never do
any work. This can be demonstrated
conclusively by little logical thinking
quite within the capacity of practically
everybody-cer certainly within that of the
astute Senores Cleto and Fabio.
Let's see! The year has 365 days
and the average worker sleeps eight
hours each day. This makes l22 days
the employe is in bed Besides this
time for sleeping. the civil servant has
eight hours every day for meals and
recreation. That is a total of 122 days
more, reducing the possible working
Gays by this time to 121. But there are
81 Sundays and IA important holidays
either Of church or state, when no work
is carried on. Only SIS working days
left, and of these We must deduct 26,
whereupon man works for only half
as many hours as on other days.
We are not clear as to how the rest
OF this interesting problem can be fig
ured out, but we know of a certainty
that when finally disposed of, it shows
that no one in the national or munich
pal salary lists works even as much as
a single day year.

LORD Nelson Is provocative theme for

tween the two it is not possible for
Lord Nelson to escape many writings.
However. it is not too much to say,
quite positively, that no one, so far. has
reached the high point of geographic
excellence with which C. S. Forester
has embodied the man and sent him
out. in person. to meet the reader
Some have stressed the military career
some have fingered over the passion
and constancy Of the man in love.
Each, little off the balance required
for perfect delivery of the human in
full relation to himself, in full relation
to the England of his day and to sub
sequent history.
Every schoolboy knows the story. the
story of Nelson and. Trafalgar. Right
here that is not the point. Instead
the imperative call of Lord Nelson
rises out OF the creative genius of C. E
Forester, one of the prime contributors
toward the phenomenal popularity OF
biography among even average readers
