It was in no mood to listen to proposals of pseudo-Republicans, nor was it frightened by destruction- ists. It is a broad statement of principles on which, in gen- eral, any candidate might be proud to go before the people, and in some particulars it contained planks of which only candidates well versed in the traditions of the party could ask support. It was expected that the LaFollette planks, though in many respects harmless, would be summarily rejected. They were not presented by delegates in good faith. Generally speaking, the LaFollette planks presented no pledges which should wreek the party or hamstring its candidates. But if the convention had adopted the planks, these delegates would still shout that the candidates were reactionary and 4 third party is necessary. The convention displayed a com- mendable firmness and, perhaps, political sagacity, for there is seidom permanent gain in vacillation. The convention met the World Court issue squarely and satisfactorily. If the Republican party is returned to power it may be expected that the troublesome question of Amer- ica’s relations to her neighbors will be solved. The conven- |* tion took the only stand any group of men could consistently take on the liquor question—it stood for enforcement of the constitution and the laws. It met the Ku Klux Klan threats by a deciaration for constitutional liberties of political and religious belief. It met the exposures of the oil inquiry by a ringing statement that honesty in public office is demanded and crookedness cannot be condoned. It placed a business government and tax reduction as among its foremost pledges. It is possible that the platform may lack'appeal to many in an hour of political turmoil, when demagogues can quickly pain an audience. But it is a statement of high purpose and firm resolve to stick to fundamentals in governmental affairs. A COOLIDGE CONVENTION he Republican National Convention was emphatically ylilge gathering. The so-called “Old Guard” was brush- aside. Senator Lodge, the Republican leader in the Sen- ate, was o-lcred the Vice-Chairmanship of the convention swbut dignity forbade his acceptance, and he failed to be named chairman of his own delegation. John T. Adams, the Re- publican national chairman, paled into insignifieance as William M. Butler, the Coolidge manager, took charge.

The correspondent of the New York Times wrote that “Old Guard” leaders made no cefFort to deny that they were left out of the party councils. The manner in which the President dominated the conven- tion, and the remarkable unanimity of’the vote for him, was a big tribute. Incidentally, former Attorney-General Daugherty’s can- d date for the chairmanship of the Ohio delegation was de-! teated, which marked the passing of the power of another) former leader. | COOLIDGE AND DAWES The Republicans will present candidates at the fall elec- tion who will not disguise their aims and their ideas to win ~ votes. Calvin Coolidge has shown independence, resolution and sincerity in the president’s chair. Charles G. Dawes has been so open and frank in his actions and statements that he not only shocked official Washington when he accom- plished the great task of the first United States budget, but he also shocked, and then won the confidence of all Europe by the manner in which he threw aside diplomatic traditions to draw up his famous reparations plan. President Cooiidge inspires confidence but does not touch the sentiment of the voters. General Dawes is a bit more picturesque in action. But the Republicans have given the ccuntry. two candidates of ability and unimpeachable in- tegrity. HOOKY “Rush to colleges is ebbing,” says a headline. It was one of the queer reactions of the war, the overnight sky-rocket- ing of college attendance. Now things are getting back to normal and colleges are near pre-war business. The same thing will happen to the post-war epidemic of intense interest in history, science and other forms of knowl- edge. War stimulates brains, whets the intellectual appe- tite. But thinking is a dull business at best, and pleasure is forever calling enticingly. Each mental spurt, though, car- _ ries humanity one step higher up the ladder of average in- = telligence. BILLIONS Uncle Sam says it’d take 321 billion dollars to buy the United States and all its resources. Dr. Walter Ingalls, prominent statistician, says the fig- ure is too high—should be only 273. billions. But what are a of whom ever saw as much as $10,000 together at one time. Easier to grasp is his conclusion that it requires $2000 “worth of machinery and plant for each factory or mill worker. SAILORS Steadily man conquers the elements.

And there standing right in the middle of the poppy was a little Chinaman. ‘ “Did you bring the asked Johnny Jump Up. “Yes, I did,” nodded the tiny Chinaman. “A velly nice night to travel. Three tickets to China and back again.” He handed the tickets to Nick, and Johnny Jump Up blew up his cheeks and whistled. Down flew the titmouse from where he “had been waiting in a tree. He punched holes in the tickets with his short stubby bill and said “Hop on.” So all thrée of the tiny people jumped onto the fat. little bird's | back. “Tommy Titmouse!” scolded: John- ny Jump Up, the fairy man, “you must stop eating so much.

Runs Submerged An inexpensive undershot power wheel which will run even when wholly submerged and which is es pecially adapted for use in moun- tain streams was invented some time ago by a Salt Lake man. ‘The wheel’s source of power lies in the fact that the blades fold on the upward stroke, making the leverage greater at all times on those below than above the center shaft and thereby enabling it to run in water of any depth. The wheel, which is made entirely of metal, may be of any diameter and width. To prevent clogging with floating weeds or debris the avheel is in- closed in a heavy mesh wire screen 80 connected to the wheel that it re- volves in the opposite direction. Diffused Concentration An enthusiastic ‘yoyng admirer sald to Arnold Bennett shortly after one of his more thoughtful books was published: “You have been a wonderful help to me, Mr. Bennett.” ‘Indeed!

This surprising information comes from Whitlock, mineral expert of American Museum of Natural History. Out of every 100 diamonds mined from the blue clay, 50 are worthless, 25 are second-grade or “off color” stones with brown or yellow or violet tinge, and only 25 are clear and without some faint coloring. One diamond in four is a top-notcher. And even among these, a superb stone like the Kohinoor or Great Mogul is y found rarely—a matter of generations, even centuries. Diamonds area lot like men. It takes millions of plodders to produce one individual who is truly great. Living on earth today are 1700 million people. remembered 15,000 years from now? How many of them will be Not more than a dozen, Even our present civilization may be almost entirely forgotten by then.

You have such an uncompromising way of facing facts, my dear. I had never owned, even to-myself, that Karl Whitney had paid out a_smail fortune to en- able me to keep his pearls. Fifteen thousand: dollars! Jack will never forgive me, particularly as I sold some of those stones to get him out of trouble. He will have the humil- iation of feeling that a man who loved his wife has done this for him. T don’t think I can tell him’ about the pearls, do you dear? If I do it will keep me very much worried and unhappy, for, Ruth, I shall never feel safe with Alice. Isn’t that a dreadful thing for one to say about one’s sister? However, I am sure it is true. I know that Alice would sacrifice me tomorrow if she thought it would not blast her in Karl's eyes. She wants those pearls that Karl gave me, notwith- standing her own string is much longer. I'd be awfully glad to give them back to her, for I don’t ‘want to quarrel with her, and I have an un- easy feeling that those beads will bring me unhappiness yet. Queer, isn’t it, that Karl Whitney should have taken such a way of commemorating his regard for me? +! As you say, I think he’s had really more joy in collecting the pearls and nursing what he considers an unrequited love than he would have done had I married him. He is a dear, sweet thing, though, Ruth, and if you could see the way in which he tries to make Alice happy I am sure you would be as fond of him as'I am. I would like to tell him that if he did not give in to Alice quite so much there would be a better chance of both of them be- ing happy ‘in this marriage. Indeed, dad virtually told Alice this the other day. I'm. starting home day after to- morrow. If you love me, don’t let Mother Preseott in the meantime fool around that desk, for as much as I hate: to confess it even to you, dear Ruth, there is a secret drawer, and it contains documents that I would not have anyone on this earth see. Into it I have put a great deal of myself. Into it I have written thing that I would tell to no one. I hardly think that Mother Prescott would readthese things if she found them, except she would probably de- clare that she did not dream that I knew about’ the secret drawer and she thought: the documents were written by someone else. I am almost sure that Alice sus- pects that I lunched with Karl the other’ day. It sits as uneasy on my conscience as the mince pie I ate at that time did’ upon my tummy. I think it was a mistake, all of it, in- cluding the mince pie, for Karl has seemed unhappier than ever ee that day. I think, however, that is because Alice took him to task for leaving her to, go to lunch by her- self. I wonder if she i8 going to be per- fectly happy inthis marriage of hers? ‘In fact, I wonder if anyone is perfectly happy. I’m not quit sure whether I’m perfectly hap)’ or not, for I do not think I reall know what perfect happiness is Like all other mortals, I only know times of ecstatic bliss, of great ex- hilaration, and quiet content. Is that enough for anyone, even your friend, LESLIE? (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) Human Decoy Used to Lure Wolf in Russia The Russian’ hunter’s method of killing wolves is interesting.
