WAR HERO PAID
HONORS HERE
Harry {. Banks to Receive
Medal at Ceremony
at Fort.

More than sixteen years after the
World war ended, Harry E. Banks,
New Paris, O., who fought as a
first lieutenant in the American eX-
peditionary forces, was to receive
one of the war departments high
est honors at the main parade at
Ft. Benjamin Harrison here.
Lieutenant Banks, already holder
of the distinguished service cross,
will receive from Brigadier- General
William K Naylor the oak leaf
cluster to add to that cross. The
Eleventh infantry, commanded by
Colonel Oliver P. Robinson, will
pass in review.
The oak leaf cluster has been
awarded to Lieutenant Banks Tor

Chatillon, France, Oct. IA to 16,
1918" according to the government
citation. which explains that the
lieutenant, his superior officer
wounded, led his platoon to sue
cess against a strongly intrenched
enemy force, risking his life to
do so.
The cross itself was awarded to

it ought to do it in just as few
cases as it can; only when it's abb

kind of steal"
II don't agree with that" came

government is in our private lives

nothing but all of us working to-

INDIANA in 1907 passed law for voluntary Steri-
i uzaton Of the insane the feeble-minded, and the
hereditary criminal Since then, twenty-Seven states
have adopted laws Of this kno. with view TO cutting
down the number Of detectives in the population.
A ul,estionnaire sent some time ago TO fifteen
states indicated that about $4,000 SerizatonS have
been done. chiefly FOR feeble-mIndedneSS dementla
praecox hereditary epilepsy, and hereditary GRIM

THE operation for sterilization involves in the
Il man. a simple proCedure-merely tying Of the
tubes which carry the male cells from the male
sex Glands In women. It involves opening the aodo-
men and tyins the tubes which carry the female sex
cells from the female sex organs. to the productive
organs
Fven in women however the operation is not

deaths in 5000 operations and these might be at

NOggin Ideas Are FIOpS

I SELDOM place any reliance on those cocktail
ideas any more They sound all right to a group
of friends who also have gnawed off a few noggins,
but when you sit down to go into your act you
will realize that you aren't writing friends You
are writing for customers and you Will wonder how
you ever could have imagined that that one could
suffice for a column Probably it wasn't an idea
at ALL but just crack and not any too good, at
that.
Shower bath ideas are better, but even they have
a tendency to wipe off the towel.
Another thing which you must remember is that
there is great difference between the spoken word
and the written one. We had terrible illustration
of that few years ago when moving picture
comedian decided that he couldn't be much worse
than another moving picture comedian who was
making a lot of money with a little daily piece for
the syndicaes So he sold himself to a big syndicate
for about fifty words day in the same style. They
ran series of tickler-ads in the paper for about
two weeks and billed his face all over the delivery
wagons and at last, ta-ra-ra he ready to go.
There never has been a more terrifying flop in the
history of our business The trouble that on the
stage or screen he always had able to cover up
poor material by yelling "hocha squirting some
body in the eye with a sphon
L mention this to you because you always used to
depend pretty much your eyebrows for your
laughs You had funny way of cooking your head
and shooting out your lower lip too. I just to
warn you that, in print, your material goes as it
lays. If it fops it just lies dead and you can't help

column, the object is as YOU very we'll know to stall
off the zero hour.
After you have exhausted the papers you always
can pet the cat or dog If any possibly the
phone. But that does not take long. and the dread
full moment arrives when, for better or worse you
have start setting down one little word after an
other.
This is an awful time 1t is even worse if you con-
front the keyboard with minute. panicky real
ization that the idea which you tossed of the night
before when you had few cocktails aboard isn't
any good after all. There is no worse sensation in
life than to discover that an idea which you had
been counting on all day has turned sour and will
have to be poured down the sink.

undercurrent of radicalism in the
country ready to go much further
than he ever thought of going.
However, Roosevelt is a great
student of history. Particularly,
he is a student of Napoleon. 1t
was Napoleon'S policy to offer his
enemies a truce when he was rid
ing the crest of victory.
n Il r.
ID OOSEVELT now is riding
N such a crest. If those clos
est to him read his mind correct
ly, he is now ready to offer big
business a modified truce.
Regulation will be continued
though how rigid it will be, re-
mains to be seen.
Confidence in the investing
market will be encouraged. For
above almost anything else right
now, Roosevelt is anxious to get
private funds flowing, start bust
ness carrying the burden of ex-
penditure which the government,
so far, has shouldered.
This, then, is the new goal:
Friendly cooperation with
business, without crack downs,
but with firm regulation on
behalf of the public; and in
regard to Labor, not as much
favoritism as in the past.
Whether the President can do
this without alternating the grow
ing radical opinion which he him
self senses, only the next two
years can tell.

DUT don't see why you want to specialize in wise
- and witty comment, anyway when you have
such fascinating information to in your column.
You have the Of the most pathetic personal
stories of your time in the United States if you
will only tell it, in your version of the tragic
collapse of your own career.
How did it happen to go haywire, anyway?
remember you as gay and fippant, though
somewhat spoiled, political prodigy in the New York
legislature. I recall that when you elected
mayor of New York I thought you either would have
to change your associations and point of view or
60 to smash OF course, realize that you were the
kind of who set great store by the word "paP'
but I realized too that you were pretty we'll sur

wouldn't what happened to their pal, Jimmy,
as long as they got theirs.
I thought that for your own pride and self
respect you would try to grab hold of yourself and
do a good Job in the New York city hall. But you
threw down yourself your town and your training
to be loyal to the worst people you knew.
Well so look at you now. People who come back
from the other side say you love New York and
are eating your heart out in England, wanting TO
come home If you love New York so much how
came you to treat New York as you dld Wnen you
had your chance?
If you had it to do again would you try to do
Justice to yourself and honor to your name this
time? What do you think of money as money,
by now?
What have you got to say for yourself, anyway
