Senator Borah, usually a busy investigator, warns the Senate that it must stop its “grand jury pursuits” and devote time to legislation. His advice may not be heeded, but it is timely. If Congress is to clear away the annual appropriation measures and enact constructive legislation it mu: speed its program. Manifestly it cannot make progress as long it is engaged in endless investigations, There is a line of demarcation betwgen an investigation and a “grand jury pursuit,” as Senator Borah terms it. The investigations are primaril calculated to reveal the trend of affairs and bring forth information to aid the legislators in their business of enacting new laws. Investigations also serve the purpose of providing “pitiles publicity” which was urged by Woodrow Wilson as a nec ity in good govern- ment. But when an investigation uncovers evidence which may be classed as criminal, it is time that it go before a grand jury. The prime purpose of the chief inve tigations in Washington has been,accomplished. The publicity has been manifold and certainly pitiless. Good may result from opening to the light many hidden transactions. The Senate Veterans Bureau investigation, long since }4 past, was not interminable as it begins to appear some other investigations are. It was followed by grand jury action and indictments. Suits have been instituted in the oil dis- closures in which criminal charges are made. When the evi- dence adduced ‘before a congressional inquisitorial body ha: laid the basis for such action, it is well that it should be continued by a grand jury. Mr. Sinclair probably will not find many people criticising him for refusing to testify when there are suits pending against him in which he is charged with fraud. He appears perfectly justified in reserving his testimony in his own defense in the courts. The Daugherty investigation committee has laid before the public much (estimony which, if true, is sufficient to convict meny men of Jaw violations and sent them to the tisry. Much of this evidence appears unsup- end would not be given much weight in et sessions of a grand jury. The character of much of the testimony lends weight to the charge that some of those prosecuting the inquiry are animated by the motive of debasing certain officials in the public eye through insinuation and innuendo, regardless of the facts. How much better would it be if these witnesses could be called before a grand jury, and if their testimor justified, indict- ments returned on their evidence. There is no sentiment in the country that the guilty shall escape, nor are those who complain of the methods being pursued by some of the inquiring senators desirous that the guilty shall go free. The investigations furnished thrilling and interesting reading for a time. What is desired now is the not hot air but action. WE ARE BECOMING A GYPSY RACE How many different towns have you lived in? How many times have you moved from one house to another? How many miles have you traveled since birth? Most of us find that, as the years slip by, we travel more, move oftener and change jobs more frequently .

Today one attracts more at- tention if he doesn’t take an occasional long trip than if he does. People move from house to house, city to city, job te job, farm to farm.

Same with auto ownership—the buyer, when he buys, already is looking ahead to the date when he'll “trade in the old car on a new one.” E. W. Forbes, head of Fogg Art Museum of Harvard, warns that the painting of some of our modern artists may not last more than 50 years because of the use of inferior canvas or paints. Excellent materials are on the market for the artist, but often he is careless in buying and using.

Let tomorrow take care of itself.” Two definite reasons why we are becoming Gypsy rovers »,a@nd do not\build for permanence. First, we realize more " than ever before that life is merely a journey, a training school or gymnasium for self-improvement. We view life as a Pullman car—and are quite willing to leave peanut hulls and banana peels behind us. + Then, too, we build only for permanence in big projects like the Panama Canal, because we are busy creating new ideas, processes and devices—and willing. to replace repeat- edly the’ material things expressing these ideas, processes and devices.

Then, reflecting that Clavering never rushed at her in the fashion of most’ lovers, nor even greeted her with a perfunc- tory kiss, but waited until the mood for love-making attacked him suddenly, she took a last look at ; her new tea-gown of corn-flower blue chiffon and went down stairs Disappointed at not securing the! With a light step. “Shocking to keep you waiting,” she said as they shook hands, “but I came in late. You'll stay to din- ner, of course. I had an engage- ment but broke it, as I'm still feel- ing a little out, of sorts.” “Never saw you look better. Nor in blue before.

Moreover, he didn’t care.. He was too intent on bis own plans. ; “The rest has done you good,” he said, smiling also. “But as you were looking rather fagged before you came down with ‘that two- days’ headache, I made up my mind ‘that you needed -a change and, dropped: Din a hint to open from Wisconsin or outside; will be! pérmitted: to use a plot of ground insthe state land territory, most: of: the state.

Moreover, she would be able to.ayoid seeing Hohenhauer in surroundings where this strang§ loveaftair of her”had obliterated the past (for the most part!), and she had found, for a time at least, happiness and peace. She would see him in Vienna, of course, and she had no wikh to avoid him there; no doubt they would work together and as impersonally as they had sometimes done in th past; but to see him here, even in the drawing-room, which held no sacred memories, would be but an- other and uglier blot on her al- ready dimming idyl; and a subtle infidelity to this man whose every thought seemed to be of M@r in spite of all he had to tnflame and excite his ego. And if she remained and Hohen- hauer wished to see her she could hardly keep on making excuses fo¥, nearly a fortnight. So she merely smiled up at Clavering, who was gazing down at her intently, and said softly, “Of course I'll go. I always have sport things ip my wardrobe and I think it a wonder- ful idea.
