But there appears to be no real change in the situation. There is hope that the present inter-allied con- ference in London will lead to the adoption of the Dawes plan in practical fashion, but it appeared just as likely that this would have come had Poincare not been deposed in France. M.. Herriot, the new French premier, sits on a shaky throne. At the outset he took a rather firm stand toward Germany, differing not much from that of his predecessor, and when he appeared to come under the domination of the English premier the doughty Poincare was ready to spring at his throat. With the challenge of a surrender of French interests in subserviency to MacDonald, Herriot was in a bad position, and Ramsay MacDonald, the English Premier, hurried to France to help him out. The French have taken a more adamant stand in the inter-allied conference. They insist that the underwriting cf a German loan shall be made a condition precedent to an acknowledgement that the Dawes plan is in effect. The question of who shall decide when and if Germany is in de- fault in carrying out the plan was another problem before France. It had been assumed the League of Nations would Ret as arbiter, but the French have held little faith in this hedy. So the counter-proposal of an American arbiter was brought forward. This may be accomplished, though it would be a, most unusual citizen for a guarantee to be en- *orced by an American when this nation is not a participant in the Treaty of Versailles. 4: Ramsay MacDonald is faced by a slender majority in Wnvland. Indeed, his government probably could be de- *-ated by a frontal attack. He of necessity must adopt a conciliatory and moderate tone in hig dealings with the Ger- man problem, from the very character of his seat'of power. «hs the same time he must satisfy the more aggressive }rench pol'cy, which differs not greatly under a radical pre- mier when the question of Germany and reparations is brought forward. SAD PASSING AWAY “Here,” said the Telegraph Editor, “is a cable announcing 2. big concentration of Italian troops at Rhodes. Now, ex- actlv where in thunder is Rhodes?” “A little far eastern island in the Aegean,” spoke up the Titerary Editor, at the next desk. “Famous city in ancient t'mes because it had the Colossus, a 100-foot statue, made of enemy war engines, by which passed the world’s maritime -¢cmmerce. But Colossus was sold for old junk years ago.” “Yes,” said the Foreign News Editor, “nothing but a namie left, and it is tremendously sad to contemplate the nassing of the ancient world wonders. Last year, in Rome, I stood on the very marble slab from which great Cicero thurdered to the world. Gone! Centuries gone! “Nothing on the rostrum but a saddened young foreign correspondent and a little lizard catching flies. Ruins of column, seat and terrace before cne and the silence of death cver all. But, one could re-create the old scenes from his -edlleve Latin studies. “On this very slab strode mighty Cicero, back and forth, thundering against governmental wrong. Here he poised to nlunge his dagger of invective into the Senate with pointed ‘finger. “With fist raised above his head, he hurls his charges at the wily Cataline, seated over there with toga sleeve over his face to hide his guilt. ‘Copellus, liar, boodler!’ he yells at another, and a dozen senators stir nervously in their seats. “The air cracks, the hills shake with the grandeur of his elonuence and, when he closes with naming grafter, boodler, and traitor, the whole senate springs to its feet and—.” “Say Jim,” broke in the Sporting Editor, “you’re scaring And, fortunately, the foreman of the linotypes stuck his head in at the door, just then, and snarled and sneered the word “Copy !” ABUSED Are we ip earnest or just “talking through our hats” =: when we platitudinously abuse money as the root of evil?

Smid- dy will presumably soon be invest- ed with the dignities and duties of the office to which he was already appointed in advance of the {m- perial approval. . Prof. Smiddy does not dwell up- on ‘the grievous pains that have ac- companied the birth of the Irish Free State. He is neither orator nor warrior, but an economist, of the staff of Cork university. He is not a super-patriot who hopes to make the Free State independent of Great Britain and the world, but an advocate of international trade who distrusts high tariffs and re- foices to see vessels again busy trafficking between Ireland and world markets. He is now in the United States to encourage that | | very commerce and he is appar- ently more interested in making Irish laces and linens popular than he is in advertising her poetry. Romance does not attach itself to trade, ‘but there is no doubt that the Free State is well served by those who, like her new minister, are busily encouraging the resump- tion of orderly production in the disorganized counties of Ireland. Agriculture and neig! dustries hold out fair h@pes for the people of the new dominion. It 1s to ‘be hoped that the appointment of a minister sympathetic with this idea and capable in its advocacy will ‘be followed by more prosper- ous trade between his land and the United States. And for whateve dignity accrues to thé, Irish Free State by virtue of the privilege of dealing directly with a foreign government sincere congratula- tions are in order. It is another step toward achieving the full status of a self-governing domin- ion—Baltimore Sun. Paris spontaneously acclaimed the arrival of the American Olym- pic team. The 200-odd chosen to represent the United States are a husky lot and are recognized as dangerous.contenders. But France struck the note of friendly rivalry. The sportsmen turned out to mani- fest their utmost in cordiality and admiration. Perhaps there was a recollection of a recent soccer match in which a rowdy element offered an unrep> resentative example of French sportsmanship. Perhaps the Pari- sians wanted to make amends for that incident. ‘They succeeded. The United States had judged the earlier incident aright, but the re- ception Wednesday will make “all right” a little righter. Sportsmen hefe have not forgot- ten that a scattering few poor sports once hissed Criqui, whom the majority acclaimed as a gentle- man and fighter. ‘tab. The best feature of any example ‘of poor sportsmanship is that it almost invariably calls out true sportsmanship. Good sportsmen are in the majority, here, in France, anid almost everywhere.— New York ‘World. THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | One of the most interesting places Happy Go Lucky Park, cy and Nick were helping Mister ip, the fairyman, was the fun house. : | You went in by crawling through a barrel and when you got in the middle of it, it began to spin around like a hoop, upsetting you and 1oll- ing you over and over like a dice in a dice box. When finally you got inside there was a sign which said “The Puzzle Patch.” It looked as easy as pie when you went in, But it wasn’t so easy, as the fly found out when he got caught in the spider-web. For the passages twisted and turned this way and that and you always met yourself coming back. You were lucky if you got out in half an hour. And then there were the funny | mirrors that made you fat or made you lean or made you lumpy or bow- legged or even turned you upside down. Now fat, dignified Mrs. Wood- chuck said that never, never, never would she go to Happy Go Lucky Park again after Nick took her pic- ture and got Mrs. Bunny’s ears in it by mistake. : But one day Mister Woodchuck and the children coaxed and cozxed her until she said finally, “All right. Tl go then. But remember—no non- sense.” Mister Woodchuck stopped in front of the fun house. “This looks pretty good. Let’s go. in,” he said. “Looks silly,” said Mrs. Wood- chuck in a resigned voice. “But I’m in for it now. Go on if you want to.” So with whoops of delight the lit- tle Woodchuck boys and fat Mr. Woodehuck went in nad got rolled around in the barrel. and thought it was fine fun. “Tl do nothing of the sort,’ sai Mrs. Woodchuck when they coaxed her to come along. “There’s another door,” said Nan- cy. “Goin that way.” And the first thing you know wasn’t Mra. Woodchuck lost in “The Puzzle Patch.” And get out she couldn’t. She wandered around and around and finally shouted, “Help!” And Nancy had- to goin and ‘rescue her. Then came the mirrors.

So panting indignantly, Mrs. Wood- chuck followed. .. ‘aie. But no sooner had she. reached the middle of the bridge than it folded up with her and then in- stantly set ‘itself right again, for it was a trick bridge. : “Take me home!

FABLES ON HEALTH LOOKS BEST AT A DISTANCE By Albert Apple England gets ready to celebrate, in 1932, the 300th anni- versary of the first, use of forks by the British. Before then, they ate with their fingers. i ; Three centuries seem long ago. It is. But in 1632 when some unknown ‘English progressive brought the first fork over from France, “the good old days” were at their best. Shakespeare had been dead 16 years. The Immortal Bard never used a fork. He never even saw one. It must have been a sight to watch people eat in those “good old days.” Sewage systems were not in use in the “good old days.” Refuse and dishwater were tossed into the gutters. Small wonder, plagues made people die like flies. No one had running water for kitchen and bath. Carry- ing water in buckets ‘a long distance or buying it from water carts—these are not attractive. People ‘bathed so’ seldo! that they had to invent. high-power perfumes in order to get within speaking distance of each other without suspecting KEEP WINDOWS OPEN “What ate you doing with the house all shut up?” demanded the Jones family doctor when Mrs. Jdnes was expecting her first baby. “If you can’t get out and walk at least once a day, then get plenty of air in the home while doing your housework. “It’s, a-.substitute* for the real thing, tobe ‘sure;*:but it is: better than nothing. -‘ ’ i “Many women. seém but some are ‘not well enough to go after, them. .

CONTINUED The love part of your letter, dear Jim, was very poetic’ and beautiful, and I think my greatest happiness was that I have not becpme so hardened that I could not appre- ciate it. My eyes grew misty as I read it, and I think, dear boy, that I was-a little envious—for. Jim, dear Jim, I have -never: had anyone to whom. I could -talk. like that and mean it. I don’t ‘think I'm capable of it. ‘ The utter sincerity’ of your devo- tion is almost: religious in its fer- vor. That you are a worshipper at a false shrine, and that your idol is wholly: of clay, does’ not take any- thing. from the sublimity of your great faith. . No. one, it seems, from what you wroteme of. the: conver- sation that you overheard , could shatter your faith in me. Some day, Jim, however, I have a feeling that Y myself will destroy your trust, much 1 want to k it. I am not the superwoman that you think I am. -I’m.only an idol that you worship, and I shall be toppled over and’ broken into bits by my poor human; failings, some jay. I, would feel worse about this if I did not know that I will be the only thing to be broken—your heart will still .be intact. So you thought Jack Prescott looked. at’ me. as though I, belonged to him? Jim, in,the language of the street, if Jack Prescott has any such thought as that, he has another think coming. I don’t belong to Atherton, pees many times, knowing Leslie as I do, I know the wonderful plans he brings down and retails to me as conceptions of his own, are some- thing she has put into his head. He’s a clever chap for all thaw and I probably shall go to lunch and dine with him again and again, dear boy, whatever people may say. I may be martyred in the coming years for my ‘assumption that a woman. may do exactly what a man may do:without any more compunc- tion than a man, and-get away with it.- But all the same, I’m going to live along this line as long as I do live. . Of course I know that it is for- tunate that I am hard headed. but 1 have schooled myself to be and to think like a man. Whenever I find myself growing in sentiment, I im- mediately try to be as sentimental. as possible. Men are always senti- mental, but they haven’t much sen- timent. Women, on the other hand, are less apt to be moved by their emo- tions, but they have a great deal of that tenderness and loyalty “which to me is sentiment. ~ if Jim, dear Jim, don’t think pf me too. much, for I'm not worth it, as conventional worth goes. I'm just a woman who is determined to suc- ceed, determined to do the thing she wants’ to do, and just now that thing is to be one of the best known advertising experts in the country. Come again and see me. I'll try not to hurt you, but don’t expect me to break any engagements for you—that’s not businesslike.
