ONE AND 4 HALF MILLIONS

With high schools and colleges of
the natipn graduating 100000 stu
dents this year, the great majority of
this mighty army are or have been
looking for work. With 100000
Americans still unable to find jobs, the
prospect for these anxious young folk
does not look as good as it ought to be.
A considerable portion of these
young people keep on in some school
or college, because they see no other
way to occupy their time. That at least
is better than sitting around and
knocking the world because it gives
them nothing to do.
A good part of the 1900, 900 have
already found work. Some of them
probably had influential friends who
gave them a lift. Many attracted notice
by the earnest work they have done
on their studies, indicating that they
stick to their tasks and are not afraid
of work. Such traits are refreshing in
a world where many are trying to get
something for nothing.

SIMPLE FARE

The White House menu for the
dinner the Roosevelts will serve the
King and Queen of England was made
up after a study of typical royal bills
of fare served them in England. 1t was
found the King and Queen prefer
rather simple foods. So the main
course will consist of such standard
American groceries as fried chicken,
sliced tomatoes, peas, beets and sweet
potatoes.
It sounds like a good enough menu
for next Sunday and we doubt not
that, suitable approached, the little
woman might manage it.
What we like about these royal
visits is to find that, on Sundays any,
way, we live like kings. We live better,
because the White House chicken will
be boned in honor of their majesties,
which means there will be no drum
stick.

A certain amount of mild horse
play may be tolerated, but if the bride
gets a grain of rice in her eye, and has
to go to an oculist the first day of her
honeymoon, it is an unfortunate anti
climax. If the pursuers tear through
the streets too fast, an accident may
happen, with tragic results.
The celebrators had better go a
little slow. A wedding should not be
turned into a roughhouse.

THE EXPENSE OF SPEED

One of the interesting discoveries
with regard to automobile motors is
that when you step on the gasoline
your gasoline expenditure mounts
with your speed. Thirteen makes Of
automobiles were tested 10 find out il
it applied to them all. The result was
uniform, disclosing that oil as web as
gasoline consumption mounts. The
following is the tabulation of tests an
nounced by the American Automobile
association: :
80 miles an hour, 18 miles per gal.
60 miles an hour, 12.6 miles per gal.
80 miles an hour, s.6 miles per gal.
This is, we suppose no concern of
a person who starts out on a trip at
eighty miles or more per hour. Doubt
less he never worries about the bill
his widow can take care of it out of
the insurance money.

Many boys are plain and practical
interested in sports and money making
but they don't know much about books.
II the tair graduate should begin talk
ing about evolution or Tennyson, they
wouldn't know what to say. Hence, it
has often been said that the educated
girl must carefully conceal the fact
that she knows something if she
wishes masculine attention.
But the pictures of the scenes
about the schools and colleges, the
photographs of the girl graduates, do
not suggest that education and beauty
are necessarily opposed to each other.
In fact, the looks of these diploma win
ners would be hard to beat. 1t would
appear their minds have not been ex-
clusively fixed upon the lines of the
poets, nor on the theorems of geome-
try. Apparently they have paid their
share of visits to the beauty shop.
Some boys had better give their
sluggish minds a bit of a prod, and
find out about the things going on in
the world. Then they will not be alb
solutely s~peechless when they find a
girl who knows something. Such a girl
will make a better showing when you
step out with her into a quizzical
world.

tner WIN the 1000 organizations
throughout the United States af-
filiated with the National Tuber-
culosis Association, conduct con-
centrated educational campaign ev-
cry -pring.
Particular emphasis is being put
at this time on the value of health
education in the search for early
and durable tuberculosis, according
to Newman H. Clark, League pre-
sident.
Because early tuberculosis is
usually easily cured, it takes less
time and money for recovery" Mr..
Clark said this week. "This is
equally important whether the cure
is paid for by the individual or
by the taxpayer out of public
funds. To keep an early case in
a sanatorium for a few months
may cost few hundred dollars.
To keep an advanced case there
for several years runs into many
thousands of dollars. Early dag
nosis is good economy because
eight out of ten who come to the
sanatorium are advanced cases."

Dragon Mystery found in the 18th

Bishop, explaining the significance
of each of the seven heads separ-
ately, revealing their true identity
by the searchlight of the scripture.
He said he was compelled to omit
some very important highlights in
this mystery owing to the short

announced for Friday, April Ia, but
the Friday following, April 81, will

WASHINGTON.--The only blitz-
kreig SO far in the war has been
visited upon the United States.
With lightning-flash rapidly the
nation ran smack into stack OF
problems growing out Of the war,
each sparkling hot. They were met
last war in way that led us di-
rectly into it. Yet nobody can say
for sure that a different handling
this year will keep us out or even
sustain an honorable neutrality.
First task was to bring back
thousands of wandering Ameri-
can citizens caught either in the
war zone or so far from home
that they had to travel through
war zones ito get here. The State
Department sent money over to
Europe at once to care for strand
ed Yankees. Last war it took a
lot of cabling to convince Wash
ington authorities that stranded
Americans have to be brought
home at government expense and
no fiddling about technicalities of
repayment.

troops have been reported authori-

the action.
Rumors in diplomatic quarters
that the British and French gov
ernments have presented protests
against the Russian occupation OF
Polish territory could not be i'm
mediately confirmed
With the Red Army rolling west
ward, possibilities were discussed
in diplomatic quarters that Rus
sian troops might march into Es-
tonia.
1t was regarded as especially sig
nificant that the Soviet Baltic fleet
was ordered into action after the
escape of the Polish submarine
which had been interned in the
Estonian port of Tallinn.

The State Department and its
staff in Germany must work out,

some convention for treatment of

be worked out to permit participa-
ton of the Red Cross in relief and
hospital work. The American Red
Cross is a semi-official agency in
the United States and must be

But such as these are minor
problems. Big ones are yet to be
solved.
How far shall the United States

An official announcement by the
Bureau of Information says two
British trawlers, the Lord Mimic

ines.
Great Britain's losses since the

that $40 persons are missing aboard

statement that the authorities insist
there is still hope that the actual
number of officers and men aboard
the aircraft carrier might be con-
siderably below the 1860 personnel.
The Admiralty gave no details re-
garding the sinking of the trawlers
by German torpedoes aside from
saying the crews were rescued by
a third trawler which eluded the
submarines.
Rescued members Of the crews of
the trawlers came ashore at Green
ock, Scotland. They told stories of
lodging gunfire by the submarine

later they heard an explosion. in
dicating that an airplane patrol
craft might have dropped bomb

died last night at his Park Avenue
apartment. He recently returned
from a trip abroad and was so il.

Funeral services will probably be

Optimism was an outstanding
characteristic of Charles M. Schwab
one of the most commanding per-

In 1928 in a review of his so years
in business he said, in substance,
that he was prouder of the fact that
he never had been a calamity bowler
than he was of his industrial sue
cesses and their resultant accumu-
lation of wealth.

Few men got more pleasure out
of life than did Mr.. Schwab and
none was better qualified to speak
on the various economic and finan-
cial conditions experienced in the
range from obscurity to the class of
ti-millionaire.
