Ever since the hue and cry was raised # against the industrial program of the nonpartisan 8 league, enough has come to light to convince those acquainted with the operation of state ownership ; of the absolute futility of the entire program. " The league-failed igncminiously in carrying out its ideas.of state socialism and if the I. V. ‘A. per- sists in plunging the state into business for pro- ’ fit, the same results will attend the efforts of that organization. * Mills, elevators and homebuilding corporations Srun under the direction of politicians are absorb- :ers of tax money and afford berths for faithful ‘henchmen. It was so under league control and it : will be so under I. V..A. control. If the I. V. A. organization is, given the same power that the league had, it will not be long before the results are the same. Enough now has,been shown to warrant liquidating the entire mess from eleva-| tors to state erected homes, but there seem3| Editor vere nowhere encugh courage on the part of the politicians to part with the fleshpots. It avails little now as a politicial issue to rail at the incompetence of a former, administration, : when a like program is being urged but only under the auspices of different men. History has shown; that the principle of state ownership for: profit | is not sound and under the American scheme of | government will not work. If the I. V. A. hada corner on all the political honesty in the world, it cannot make the program work successfully. Until the political leaders get back to solid , ground again there is no relief in sight for, the tax payer. The big issue in the next campaign “is not going to be what the league failed to ac- complish but what are ‘its Successors going.to do in the way of junking the crazy program and lowering the ruinous taxes? There is the issue / in cold type and the courage with which it is faced will determine the kind of government. North Da-| kota will have for the next two years. BEHIND YOUR BACK A private telephone apparently no longer pro- tects you from having people listen in on your “conversation. The Society for Electrical Development ‘an- nounces that Alfred E. Proffitt, employed by the telephone company at Providence, R. I., has per- fected a radiophone device that enables him to eavesdrop on talk passing over telephone wires. Proffitt; experimenting with his radiophone, wired his amplifier in some peculiar way that: is ‘being kept a secret. Immediately he began td hear local telephone conversations—which he “repeated to the talkers, amazing them. _” While Proffitt’s device still is in, embryonic stage of development it opens up a vast new field ‘for the wireless—the possible ending of secrecy, duplicity, intrigue and talking behind one’s back. You cannot sit in your home and eavesdrop on conversation in a house a mile away without me- “chanical help. The eavesdropping: for some years has been | possible by means of the simple dictograph em- ployed by detectives. The listening-in process is carried a step fur- ther by Proffitt’s radio discovery. It is not pos- ‘sible that we soon may have a wireless device able to pick up private conversations in distant ‘homes, offices or rendezvous of criminals. The idea seems uncanny now. So did the wire- less telepgraph when Marconi first announced its invention. : ‘Civilization will advance with leaps and bounds when secrecy among men is made impossible. Without secrecy there could be no criminal organ- izations, war plots, illegal trade combines or con- spiracies against individual life, honor or fortune. End secrecy and you end dishonesty born of intrigue. Suppose a mechanical device were suddenly discovered enabling people to eavesdrop on face-to- face conversation, the same as tapping the wires of a telephone system. That would end most hypocrisy and deception, also malicious gossip. . The things said in secrecy would usually remain unsaid if the. talker knew he were being overheard by the one gossiped about, and would be called personally to account. Enormous are the possibilities of ending sec- recy, the cancer of civilization. Proffitt may have opened the way. Maybe not.’ But this is worth, thinking about—that the. wireless, as it exists now, is crude compared with what it will be develozed into, just as the flint-lock musket of Colonial days was crude alongside the modern machine gun. The wireless and other inventions to follow will link all human brains in a vast system of mechan- ical mental telepathy. \ ALSACE-LORRAINE The argument over Alsace-Lorraine has been going on for more than 1000 years — ever since Charlemagne’s three heirs fell a-quarrelling over division of his estate, which had Alsace-Lorraine as its center. Supposedly the peace conference settled this question. It cemes to life again. Funds are being solicited in America, for prop- aganda to help take the lost provinces from France and set them up as a‘ “Republic of Alsace-Lor- raine.” i s i Friends of France take you behind the scenes by pointing out that the address of H. Muth, sec- retary and treasurer of the movement, is Baden- Baden, Germany. i COST OF RADIOPHONES Radiophone receiving outfits soon will be as common in homes as' phonographs now are. This is predicted by Edwin H. Armstrong. While a student at Columbia University he originated the invention that has made radiophone broadcasting possible. 8 5 iin coolh oh. it O19) The best’ grade. reo¢ivingooutfits, Armstrong believes, eventually will sell around $200. He guesses too high. People used to think the same of watches until Ingersoll began stamping them out for $1 apiece.

What do you think about the great French act- ress who, at 76, still is young enough at heart to portray Eve before theatrical audiences, always critical? Ben People who are developing wrinkles, gray hair, dim eyesight and rheumatic joints learn from “The Divine Sarah” that the real fountain of youth is in the soul. oy * Our bodies inevitably become aged, wear out like old machines. But the ego—the real you— will never grow old if you think youthful thoughts, keep in touch with the latest things and avoid ‘becoming cynical and disillusioned.

After all his trouble of going to the Magician's Star and throwing down terrible dreams to the children, this was the end of it. + Nancy turned back from the preci- pice she had nearly fallen over, and Nick turned ‘back from the thorny- patch which might have torn him to pieces, and they reached the little bush at the same time, the little bush under which they had slept, and near which they had. buried the record to keep it safe. “Oh, Nick,” cried Nancy. “I’m so glad to see you. Why did you go away ‘and leave me?” a “And why. did you?” asked Nick. “] didn’t know I was going,” said Nancy. I must have walked in my sleep.” “Neither did I,” declared Nick. “I must have, too!” . “It most. likely was Twelve Toes again,” said Nancy. “But we'll have to get the record and hurry along. There’s the sun coming up now.” ‘Let's eat first,” said Nick, membering about the basket. Instantly the little basket appeared, containing hot porridge, and cream, toast, fruit and cocoa.

IN ZUROPE ‘The League of Nations, working quietly and without pomp and circumstance, already has a tentative plan to do for European armies what the Washington conference did for the world’s navies, that is, cut them down to a fixed ratio of practical sizes. The plan has been submitted to’ \the nations concerned and may form the basis for that European disarmament which our aloofness- ladvocates, always critical and interfering, accuse the Allies of neglecting. i ‘The league plan sets. up_a unit_of 30,000 men as ja basis of allotment and proposessthe following ratio; France, ‘6 (or 180,000;qn¢n) ; Poland, 4; Great Britain, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Rou- |mania and Spain, 3 each; Belgium, Denmark, Nor- way, Sweden and Switzerland, 2 each; and Por- tugal, 1. The figures for Italy, Jugoslavia and Greece are not yet reported. Those of Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria, were, fixed by the peace treaties. Rubdiel belive new Avaatied hair; “you simply can’t'do anything with it.” | The thirty-six units of the above list represent 11,080,000 men, or about one-half of the force now held under arms by the countries in question. The jproposal is therefore ‘a real cutting-in-two of |Europe’s land armies.—Chicago Evening Post. | EVERY GIRL’S MAKE-UP TECHNIQUE Miss Evangeline Booth expressed alarm in San iFrancisco lately at the little tricks of deception | which women in that clear Western air have ap- parently taken to trying on men. To powder one’s nose, to touch up the hair with a pit of gol- iden glint, to bring the blocm ‘of youth to the cheeks from the rcuge pot on the dresser are dis- ‘honest wiles, she thinks. Not only does she desm such warfare barbarous, but she holds its tricks jrosponsible for many unhappy marriages and ulti-| |mate divorces. “Men want women as nature in- tended they should be,” she adds as a parting shot. But there is the trouble. If women were as nature intended they should be, they would have no use for paint and powder. The real error of women who attempt to de- ceive the masculine eye consists perhaps in mak- ing—sometimes—a bad job of it. After all, the; javerage man has some slight gift as a judge of ay jwemanly beauty.
