De Valera's

Theory
Not very long ago De
Valera was in the United
States.
From his own lips, in an
swer to a question, and in
conversation at a luncheon,
I heard his theory as to
listers ultimate incorpora-
tion in the Free State. I
had supposed that he occu-
pied a radical position and
was astonished to find my
theory wrong. He said that
it was a matter that could
not be forced, and that time
alone would make it pos
sible, and then only through
a change in the feeling of
Ulster. [ cannot quote his
exact words, but the SUBJ
stance was this:
Much depends upon the
Free State. Ulster is inter-
ested in the advantages Of
trade. We must build up
an industrial life and a bust
ness activity in the Free
State that will convince
Ulster of the commercial
advantage of amalgamation.
Then Ulster has been told
through the generations that
with southern Ireland free
to do as it wishes, there
would be a suppression or
persecution Of the Protes-
tants. Nothing of the sort
ever has been remotely in
contemplation. Of course
there is, as there will be, no
such policy in the Free
State. When time has shown
this to be true that fear will
be banished."
This impressed me at the
time as the attitude of a
statesman Of fore sight.
Nothing I have seen from
De Valera in the meanwhile
has indicated any departure
from this plan.
Thus there must be a vast
amount Of bunk in the prep
arations for war in Ulster.
A few irresponsible hot
heads without authority are
probably responsible for
headlines entirely out of pro-
portion with the Importance
of the news.

Now, all that has changed
with the arrival Of the gigolo;
and it has become apparent that
there are actually women who
prefer their men beautifulbut-
dumb.
Many a bored and wealthy
widow seems to want something
on her own mental plane to play
around with; and much prefers
an ornamental, youthful cavalier
to a Tired Business Man, who
will want to sit and discuss the
stock market with her all even
ing.
And a brainy, brilliant, sue
ceSsful woman has always
seemed to prefer to marry
something she could mother"
rather than a mental giant who
might try to boss and patronize
her.
There IS something soothing
and restful about the beautiful
but-dumb. They don't jar your
ears or get on your nerves or
interrupt your train of thought.
And they are no strain on the
imagination. theoretically. it
seems logical that an overworked
business or professional woman
should want to come home, after
a hard day at the office, to some
thing easy to look at and not
hard to listen to.

THE attitude Of Ireland,
l. under De Valera, toward
the oath of allegiance and
land annuities is conspicuous
in the headlines, and much
has been written about the
mobilization of military
forces in Ulster in fear of
an attack from the Free
State. In the Commons Mr..
Thomas made the mistake
the other day of striking a
sensational note in an
nouncing the Irish inten-
tion, and his colleagues IN
the Government have mod
Grated his tone.
One extreme radical inter-
preted the Governments at
titude as meaning war-war
between England and Ire
land; and no one paid any
attention to him. The thing
seems absurd, especially un-
der existing conditions.
Even more improbable is the
talk of armed conflict be-
tween Ulster and the Free
State. There is nothing
startling in De Valera's at
titude toward the oath. That
has been the position Of his
party right along. That was
the issue in the late election
in which he won. Whether
he will find it possible to
carry out his intention is on
the lap of the gods.

Sounds That the Human
Ear Fails to Rexister

A famous scientist once experiment.
ed with notes of very high pitch upon
a room full of friends. His method
WAS to rise up the scale gradually by
sounding several small pipes. He
found it very amusing to watch the
expressions on the various faces as
the limit OF each ones hearing was
reached and passed. But every one
was most emphatic as to the unpleas-
ant effect on tile ear of the highest
notes.
Low notes are Just as inaudible as
high None Of those below the bottom
f on the piano are registered per-
fectlv by the ear. For that reason
the r is made the lowest note on or
chestral instruments, and those be-
tween ii and the last A on the piano
ire nsed only in octayes TO give depth
OF tone.
There may be literally thousands OF
sounds vibrating through the air with
out our knowledge. The fact that we
cannot hear them does not mean that
they are not sounds The sound
waves are just as real as those OF
audible notes. but our sense organs
are not adapted to recording them.
II is quite possible that we miss
many Of the fine notes Of the song

senses are developed to an extreme
keenness, says That, in his opinion, the
songs at times pass right out OF our
range Of hearing. So that. when, dur

Difference in Waking
and Sleeping Thoughts

While You are awake. you like to
feel that your thoughts are your crea-

Ing thoughts are distractions. DR..
Jesse w. Sprowls writes. in the Wash
ington Star.
When you are dreaming, the situa-
tion is reversed Your dream thoughts
are your own. They are A part OF
you. You express your personal self
In everything you dream about. You
put yourself in the center Of the
dream picture, and countenance only
those thoughts that correspond to the
picture. It's impossible TO think in
dreams without thinking in pictures
And It's impossible TO get away from
your image Of Yourself. In dreams
your thoughts are activities, not alb
stractions.
1t is NOT hard to discover why you
have these two kinds OF thoughts
Yonr waking hours deal with d world
of reality. And reality Is always the
world that lies about yon. Your bust
ness ms a waking thinker is To manip-
ulate this world Of externaity So
you regard your waking thoughts as

FITZGERALD is IN LOVE

James T. Fitzgerald, we'll known at
torney and politician of Butte, was re-
Gently in Libby accompanied by Mrs.
Fitzgerald, and it appears that they
both fell SO much in love with this
district that they would like to estab-
lish summer home here. Mr. Fitz-
gerald wrote letter to A. L. Harnei,
which is self -explanatory. The, letter
reads.
Butte, Mont, May IA, 1882.
Mr.. A. L. Hamel,
Libby, Montana.
Dear Sir: After bidding you goodbye
at Libby, Mrs. Fitzgerald and ] drove
into Washington as far as KenneWick
and Prosser and did not return home
till last night
She wants her father, an old Civil
War veteran, to pay her visit this
summer from his home in Kentucky.
He was out to see her and lived with
us a few weeks; and she wants him
to see the beautiful forests about
Libby
Accordingly, TO satisfy her desires
am writing you asking for your very
best terms and what they may be for
! the purchase of the 40-acre tract OF
stump land. Is it unincumbered, taxes
paid, no mortgage liens, etc.
Perhaps, it may be possible to ar
range for summer home there for
a few weeks at least SO as to afford
grandpa opportunity to enjoy and ex-
perience Spring Time in the Rockies.
Mr.. Hamel, just suppose you trouble
yourself, and write me. Mrs. Fitzger-
aid is carried away with the Kootenai
forest and surroundings; and is the
best booster Libby ever had. She is
telling all her friends here all about
the wonderful scenic beauty there, and
it may be you might have colony OF
Butte residents at Libby in the not too
far distant future-provided of course
you give her an opportunity to once
establish point of contact. So treat
her right; it matters not how you treat
me.
await your favor and the cour
tesy Of reply
Very truly,
JAMES r. FITZGERALD.
