Forbes, former head of the Veterans Bureau, will be greatly more impressive than a score of con- gressional investigations that end in divided reports along party lines.

Warren of Michigan as Amba‘ United States to make diplomacy at career. rvice can really times to get men like Mr. Warren and Mr. Phillips to accept posi- tions as ambassadors because of the heavy financial drain. There is a bill pending before, Congress to the grand jury room. No official could have been more derelict in his duty than one who would traffic in the wel- fare of the wounded veterans of the World War; nor can it be denied that Forbes wholly failed to do his duty in charge | of that bureau. The people of the nation will be glad to see Forbes brought before the bar of justice, where a fair tria! may determine his guilt. The former head of the Veterans Bureau resorts to a method of newspaper defense quite as reprehensible as some of the things he is charged with doing. He launched a flood of vituperation against his accusers in an endeavor to shunt public attention from his own case. He threatens exposures, but he has done this before and has exposed no one. It Forbes continues to convict others of crookedness by innu- endo and then fails to name them he will add one more black mark against himself. Secretary Fall used the same tactics in endeavoring to shield himself in the oil investigation. He assailed others and questioned their honesty, which in itself minds of the people of the country. There have been charges that the Teapot Dome investi- gation is a political effort. It is to be hoped that the investi- gation will lead straight into the courts, that the matter may be determined and the guilty, if they are criminally guilty, punished. IF LINCOLN HAD OWNED A RADIO Abraham Lincoln as a boy and young man: studied far into the night by the flickering light from a fireplace, doing yrobiems in arithmetic with chalk on a shovel. Much of his sdom and future greatness originated there by the log fire. We sometimes wonder how much studying Lincoln would done at night if he had owned a radio set. Being de- cidedly human, he undoubtedly would have wasted a lot of time emusing himself with concerts coming mysteriously through the night. Radio in moderation is not a waste of time. It provides the entertainment necessary for relaxation, in which the brain’s batteries recharge themselves. All work and no play mak ee Jack a dull boy. But not as dull as all play and no work. Many hundreds of thousands of radio bugs devote the entire evening to their receiving sets —even losing needed sleep. They enjoy it, but it gets them nowhere. Some.f their radio time could be profitably devoted to studying how to become fitted to hold a better and more responsible job. The answer in the majority of cases, of course, is that if their spare time weren’t monopolized by radio, they’d be wasting it some other way. _ The writer pleads guilty to being one of the people in- clined to carry radio to excess, thereby wasting valuable time that could more profitably be used for self-improvement. But radio is not alone in this matter. Back of it all is a fundamental law: Extremes meet, and the best of things can be carried to extremes, : Economy is a virtue. Carried to extremes, to stinginess, it is a vice. Liberality is commendable, but developed to its logical conclusion makes one a spendthrift. Wise is the man who works hard, foolish the man who works too hard. | “Sharp dealing” and cunning, carried to extremes, easily can become dishonesty. _So it goes. You like polite people, but ther& is such a thing as being annoyingly courteous. Fine sentiments are commendable; an extreme tendency this way becomes sick- ening. We're not sure that it is possible to be too good, | though James Whitcomb Riley once brilliantly described a certain man as a fellow without a single redeeming vice. Common sense is in moderation, sticking to the middle of the road, carrying nothing to extremes. : ALCOHOL Drunks are investigated by scientists in Vienna. Dr. Schumacher finds that one accident in 40 over there is caused by intoxication. Drunkards are injured mainly in fights, by getting run down, and by falls. s Intoxicated people are less hurt by falls than sober ones, Schumacher reports. This is ‘traditional. It’s not due to Providence, but to a drunk falling like a sack of wheat, while a ‘sober man in falling makes himself “brittle” by stiffening his.muscles and joints. It may save your life some day if gee cenjember to relax and let the whole body go limp when alling. é ! é UNREASONABLE DELAY The president takes his job four months after he is ted, because it took that long to count ballots, get word to him and bring him to Washington in the early days before yailroads and telegraphs. 2H en administrations change, these four months are “lost motion,” periods of stagnation and unceftainty.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The next person the Twins met in Beanstalk Land was a little boy—a little boy for Beanstalk Land, but a very big boy.for any other place, The Twins weré not half way to his shoe tops. * “What's the matter, little boy?” called Nancy as loudly as she could. But whether it was because she was so tiny or because he mak- ing such a noise with his wailing, the little Beanstalk boy didn’t hear a word. “Boo, hoo, hoo!” he roared. oh, boo, hoo, ho “cwhat’s wrong?” yelled Nick at the top of his lungs, making a ring with his hands around his mouth at the same time, so that really almost anybody would have thought there was a fire somewhere. “Oh, But still the boy didn’t hear. “Climb up and shout in his ear,” suggested Nancy. “Perhaps we can help him.” So up climbed Nick, with the help of his little green shoes. He did it so quickly and the little boy was crying so pard that the Beanstalk boy never — noticed that he had a visitor until he heard a voice right beside his ear wanting to know what the trouble was, “Wh—who are you?” cried Beanstalk boy. something?” “No, just me,” laughed Nick. the “Are you a fairy or “y ‘mean, just I. And the other half of me is down there on the ground be- side you.” “Ooo! I’m afraid to look,” shiv- ered the boy. “How can you be alive if there is only half of you?” “Don’t be afraid,” Nick assured him, “We're twins, you see.” So the Beanstalk boy peeped first at Nancy, and then taking Nick off his shoulder with his huge hand, looked at him, too. “Where did you come from?” he giggled. “You're awfully cute! Are you fairies, or toys come to life, or what?

I have to go to the dentist’s and have a tooth fixed at 10 o’clock, and I don’t want to.” And he started to cry, all over again, so hard that Nick thought he was going to be drowned. “Where do you live?” shouted Nick, “Q—over there!” sobbed the boy.! “Over there in that red house, and it’s nearly 10 o'clock now.” Nick slid down to the ground, where Nancy was waiting. “Say,” he declared, “I don't blame him for yelling, I don’t like to go to the dentist's either.
