turned and shuffied away, murmuring apollo

said the first officer, settling to business.
The liner throbbed on through the hot
darkness. The passengers, out of range of the
cold eye of authority, did not 60 back to sleep.
They formed agtated groups in the corridors,
or gathered in cabins to discuss the sensation.
1t was very terrible of course. very shocking,

had begun to grow monotonous.

For with the men the attitude towards
Lulu Love had been different, vastly different.
They could see no fault in her. Wherever Lulu
Love happened to be, there also were the most
eligible and sought-after men. In the lounge
she always had circle, even though units oft
drifted away when wives appeared. When she
went for her swim, the popularity of the pool
skyocketed. She was in constant demand for
deck tennis, for dancing, to join in liqueurs,
to admire sunset or moonrise. Really, it had
been exasperating.
But now all that was changed, and this fact
added piquancy and zest to the passing of
Colonel Douglas.

JUDGE BALTZELL is RIGHT

JUDGE ROBERT c. BALTzELL is making it
plain that If George w. Barrett is hanged the
execution will not be public spectacle. Denying
requests for admittance he states that the only per-
sons present will be those with legal right.
This new Federal statute may force hanging into
communities where 1t was long ago abolished. It
makes disagreeable situation. However, there is
nothing the community of indianapolis can do but
accept 1t. So If Barrett must hang, the morbid
should be excluded and the job should be done with
as much quiet, businesslike skill as the district
court can muster.

MR.. GREENLEE'S CASE

COV. PAUL v. MNUTT took the right stand in
- causing the withdrawal Of Pleas Greenlee from
his administration. The principe-that state
officer should not draw salary from the state and
at the same time devote himself to campaign for
q nomination--is sound one. Besides, in Mr.
Greenlees position, patronage secretary, 1t would
have been inevitable that persons enjoying patron
age would have been active in lining up state con-
vention delegates.
The result would be a convention in which the
will of the Democratic party might easily be thwart-
ed. This Is nothing against Mr.. Greenlee. He must
see as clearly any that when he decided to
be an active candidate Tor the governorship nomi-
nation he would have 10 give up his Statehouse

0NE of the major Affections Of
~ the scientific research workers
life Is the constant pressure from
so-called practical men to get re-
suits.
This observation is made by Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace, writing in the current Scien-
tif1c Monthly.
BY results" Secretary Wallace
says, the practical man usually
means something that pays an i'm
mediate profit. He explains that it
takes considerable acquaintance
with the scientific viewpoint and
with the actual achievements OF
science to realize that the same
standards can not possibly be made
to apply here as are applied in
business.
"a familiar example is the de-
velopment Of the airplane by the
Wrights," Secretary Wallace writes.
1.-THE dramatic and sensational char
acter of the achievement was far
more obvious in that case than in
most scientific research; but even
so, there was a widespread feeling
that while the contraption invented
by the Wrights was interesting, it
never could amount to anything
from a practical standpoint.
Judged by ordinary standards,
the Wrights were just a pair of
brilliant nuts who might have put
their talents to much more practical
use than loafing around for days
at time watching buzzards sail
gracefully through the air. Out of
this watching, however, the Wrights
got facts and principles; and these
facts and principles not only served
as the foundation for a great new
industry, but led to the conquest Of
a new element by man.
THAT could not have been done
except by just apparently dreamy
and slightly insane goings-on. The
Wrights were not practical in the
same sense that man is when he
puts new gadget on the market
and brings in a million dollars. They
were merely super-practical."
So, Secretary Wallace says, the
research worker often feels like say
ing: "For heavens sake, go away
and don't bother mel Maybe what
I am dong doesn't look to you as
thought It were leading anywhere
but 5S years from now you may
have different idea about It'll"

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

THE style magazine Vogue has hit upon the SEN
= sible plan Of consulting masculine taste about
1886 feminine fashions. The college seniors of
America have had their say on the subject None
Of their ideas surprising when we remember that
men, as class, lean toward convenience and sanity
Perhaps that's why they demand pockets for women.
We hasten to send them our compliments
AS the collegians point out, they tired Of going
out loaded down with rouge pots, lipsticks evening
bags, extra handkerchefs, ETC. Every time they ram
their hands into what should be the privacy Of their
own pockets, they pull out some feminine leftover,
with what may be embarrassing results.
We feel sorry for the boys Besides that, we're
pretty tired ourselves of having no place 30 bestow
the multitude Of accessories which are made impera-
tive by cigaret smoking and putting on ones coni-
plexion after every dance.
The innovation as can see would lift another
of the white mans burden, as well as give women
more freedom and independence. 1t would do some
thing else. 1t would help traffic congestion.
For it's one thing to slip your hand easily into
pocket, as man does, and run down dime for bus
fare, but it's quite another to get the handbag into
proper position open it-and it always sticks when
you're in hurry-sh about amid the debris for the
coin purse drag it to the surface and finally cap
ture the elusive nickel, dime or token
Such an ordeal is woman's daily experience Pack
ages drop from your arms; hurrying pedestrians
tread on your toes; those behind scowl and mutter
at YOU At that time, any one of us has right to
feel aggrieved and to envy men their hooks and
crannies for carrying matches notebooks, parcels
and coins
The truth is we blush at the sight of our up
stsnding cigaret-smoking gals having to resort to
their gorihed Victorian reticules

A WISH

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
Night holds thousand eyes, and
I but two.
May I use mine well,
For on the smooth highway, waits
death to rue
With wild, grewsome knell.
May I forever chest that terror bold
Which haunts each paved road.
Precaution let me take an hundred
fold
Fer grief my heart goad.
If I could have one wish, I think
'twould be
To drive with great care
And always steer my car most
cautiously.
Such talent is rare.

HARRY B. SMITH

LARRY B. SMITHS death should be noted by
i millions of Americans to whom he gave pleas
ure. He wrote the book for IA of Victor Herbert's
operettas. Smith and Herbert were the Gilbert and
Sullivan of an America that has vanished. More
sophisticated entertainment has taken the place of
the romantic musical comedies of their time but the
music of Herbert and the lyrics of Smith live on.
Mr.. Smiths greatest contribution, perhaps, was
the book he wrote for Reginald DeKoven's robin
Hood" The newspaper profession is especially proud
of him because he was once a member OF it,

WOULD THEY GO TO ETHIOPIA?

THE argument that pressure of population justi-
- fies imperial expansion is "debunked" by Ma
thaniel PETER in the current Harpers', under the
caption 1.-THE Fallacy of Conquest"
Mr.. PETER predicts that if Ethiopia were con-
quered, and at the same time the United States
lifted its restrictions immigration, within the
next year 500 Italians would emigrate to the
United States for every one who went to Ethiopia.
Pointing to Italys previous experience, he says:
For 80 years Italy has strained such resources
as it had in order to win an empire, osensibly to
relieve the pressure of population. -.
TN 1914, when the war to which it had COM
mitted itself broke out there in all the colonies
which 1t had won in Africa some 5000 Italians.
There we're more than that number within a radius
OF d quarter of mile of Cherry-st, New York City.
There were so times as many in New York State"
The argument based on pressure of population,
says Mr.. PETER makes good propaganda for bigger
armies and navies. 1t has plausible ring But
It is empty"
He asserts that those who leave their homeland
go not the virtually uninhabited new lands taken
by conquest but to independent countries already
settled" for nearly all of the territories that con-
stitute colonial empires almost uninhabitable by
white men."
territory as an outlet for manufactured products,
Mr.. PETER says:
There is Great Britain No empire could be
more farflung or securely established. No
nation could have more bigger and richer colonies
What markets could be more idyllic economic
promises? And what nation is now capturing that
MARKET Not England, but Japan.
~J0HE Malay Peninsula is a British possession
Not England but Japan is selling goods there
now. For Great Britain the fruits Of victory in
1919, after war in which it had spent ITSELF were
the dispossesson of Germany from its colonies,
especially in Africa, and tie contamination of the
old British dream of an all-British route from
Cairo to Cape Town The former German colonies
are now British. But 80 per cent of the artificial
silk imported into Tanganyika is japanese and for
every yard of British textiles imported into Kenya
there are six yards of Japanese textiles.
In word. possession of colonial territory no
longer guarantees enjoyment of the economic per-
quisitea thereof. Trade longer follows the flag
Trade roes to the most efficient producer re-
gardless Of nationality; to the producer, that is
who lay down goods of quality equal to others,
at lower price and on easier credit conditions"
In discussing expansion to secure access to raw
materials. Mr. PETER holds that even here success
in the long run is by means certain.
All the colonies" he says still extant or subject
to conquest will do Italy and Germany little good
Japan Is In somewhat special case since If it con-
quers China 1t conquers q continent, not colony
But even for Japan there are important reservations

ing other countries for the right to do so may be
