LOOSE METHODS Probably some of the criticism aimed at the Highway Commission is due to lax methods. It is easy to become careless in handling the state’s property and favoritism grows with the system as does nepotism. One engineer in private practice testified the second day of the hearing that he did not know whether he got any bill for the cars he used. His memory was poor as to whether he was riding on state’s gas or his own. Upon refreshing his memory, he believed he did get some gasoline books from the state but he was net sure whether’ he paid for them or not. There was confusion over the price to be paid for cars. That cars belonging to the state weré used by the engineer engaged in private practice but under contract to the state developed as a part of the testimony. There were silver tankards and plates for the rich, but ordinary people ate from wooden trenchers. And bath tubs were still 200 years in the future. For that matter, it is astonishing how much of the con- ventional equipment of life can be left out, even now, with entire comfort. Go to a beautiful Japanese hotel, which has neither walls, doors, windows, rooms nor furniture and sample its delicious s{ meals without meat, bread, potatoes, water, sugar, salt, *f plates, knives, forks, spoons, tables or chairs; after which ii you sleep without a bed, bathe without plumbing, and, if af you like, clothe yourself without coat, vest, shirt, trousers, shoes or hat. There is plenty left, even with all these omitted. ‘| FEAR Recently in Missouri, a Highway Commission investigat- iu Children are born without fear. Usually they are three construction of highways in that state. 4 In Missouri, it was found that four garages were main- tained at different sections of the state at a great cost. Two state owned quarries had been established, fully equipped and then turned over to private contractors to get the rock out at so much a ton, the profits to be used by them to buy the equipment installed by the state. It also developed that the state maintained an accessory business to service its equipment and carried a stock valued at $100,000. The quarries were established and equipped without testing the rock. When rock was developed from the state quarries, the crushed rock did not come up to the specifica- tions and the state had to go on the open market for its sup- ply.. The point was developed also that sand was being pur- there either for the state or his private patrons. veloped during the last decade. prehensive scheme to promote hard surface roads. cess that followed these campaigns has come in most states, gant and costly plant of operation. A It is too early to know what the investigation will dis- close in this state, but the inquiry should also be directed to the cost of construction. engineering expense, promotion and other items. Efficient an unwieldly organization and favoritism should have no place in the highway administration. DON’T BRAG ABOUT THE MAYFLOWER Mayflower, or to be eligible to the Colonial Dames.

It is an appeal to a man in his productive years to keep that economic law which the honey bee or the squirrel cbeys by instinct. It is an appeal that a man thinks, nct of himself and his fu- ture alone, but of those dependent lives whose burden he has assuméd in addition to his own. There is the real pathos—the humbled real- ization that the has failed to keep the trust they placew in his strength. There are times when another’s ‘hunery stomach is a greater pain chat the pangs of one’s own famine. SOUTH Al PROBLEM (Genaro Arbaiza, South American journalist and ecttor, in Current History Magazine) No question facing South Amer- ica ‘today is more momentous than that of Asiatic immigration. Start- ing with 100,000 Japanese settlers in Latin America in less than two decades Japanese emigration to that region, if unrestricted, may ces. The Japanese population at home grows at the rate of about a million a year, and Manchuria. Korea, Hawaii and other territor- ies that have attracted Japanese emigrants heretofore do not offer an inducement comparable to that of tropical America. The influx is likely to increase in the latter di- rection now that Asia hag discov- ered the New Work. Peru, the main point of penetra- tion, thas had another Asiatic im- migration, that of Chinese, since the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury, and the Chinese are being assimilated by the brown masses. A Japanese mass immigration, however, would present an alto- gether different and vastly more portentous problem. Should the Japanese come by the hundreds of thousands to a country like Peru, there coul’ hardy be assimilation by the native elements, ‘but the re- verse process may take place. The presence of a powerful Mongolian Group may therefore tend to ab- sorb the Indian and Indo-Iberian population. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Mister Peg Leg, the little fairy peddler, and the Twins, Nancy and Nick, went to the Land-Of-Dear- Knows-Where. It was really Forest-Meadow-Rip- ple Creek-Lily Pond Land, but Mister Tingaling called .ity“The Land-Of- Dear-Knows-Where™ dust, for fun. Mister Tingaling Wag the fairy landlord who had to Hunt up houses for all the animals and,birds in the spring. $ ‘And as there were scarcely enough to go ’round, they used to say, “Dear knows where” they were going to live! And Mister Tingaling would say, “Tear Knows where I'm going to put them!” So little by little it began to be called “The Land-Of-Dear-Knows- Where.” So if ever you hear of that place, you will know that it,means all out- doors. Mister Tingaling met the visitors near Maple Tree Flats. “Why how do you?” said he. “I’m glad to see you. But I do hope you; aren’t hunting a house or an apart- ment. Every single one is rented.” Nancy answered, “No, thank you! We're just selling things. Mister Peg Leg is a peddler.” “Oh, ho! A peddler,” said Mister Tingaling. “Well, how do you do, Mister Peddler.’ Make yourself at home. 4 “Do you care if I go ’round ped- dling?” asked Peg Leg anxiously. “No, indeed,” said Mister Tinga- ling. “Mister Bags, the storekeeper, dcesn’t have everything in the. world in his store, and I’m sure my tenants will be glad to see you—especially if you have bargains.” So it was settled, and Mister Peg Leg and the Twins started on their rounds from door to door to see what they could sell to Mister Tingaling’s tenants. The first place they came to was Chirk Chipmunk’s stone house. _ “Tap, tap, tap!” went Nick on the front doo! Pretty soon the door flew open and ‘there stood Chirk himself. “How do you do,” he said. “I thought maybe vou were the landlord after the rent, I was just counting the money in the old tep-pot.” So they all went in and sat down in Chirk’s parlor.

I'll have to look at them all.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Ine.), Ce a | In New York — | New York, Feb. 13—There is end to the gastronomic possi in New York. The menu ranges from borsch to nuts. For instance, there is the little place in the Fifties that has built up an immense patronage through the delicacy of its raw meat sandwiches. On Sixth avenue in the wholesale millinery distfict is a restaurant that turns a neat profit through the ex- cellepce of its borsch, a vety thick soup. One Russian restaurant is famed for its blinze, an egg pancake. On Forty-Sixth street is a cafe known from coast to coast because of its corn beef and cabbage. In fact, a comic strip character originated there. In Thirty-Fifth street is a place known by all small-time actors for its pigs’ knuckles. Down in Washington street, near the battery. is a Turkish shop known far and wide for its syrupy coffee. Way up on St. Nicholas avenue is 8 pl stronized by great numbers of visiting cloak-and-suiters because it always’ has genuine goose livers. On ‘Times Square is a place with a great patronage among those who like sour cream on fresh fruit. A woman who onened one of the first Greenwich Village attic tea rooms amassed a fortune through the fluffiness of her muffins. A chain of spaghetti restaurants, started in the past few months, is enjoying great prosperity. All they servé is spaghetti in various styles, pastry and coffee. All their sauces contain garlic, Another Italian res- taurant attracts great trade because garlic is added to no sauce unless requested. On one ‘of the Roaring Forties there are two lobster palaces, The {patrons of one go there for Lobster ia la Newbury.: The patrons of the other go there for broiled lobster. The difference between brothers has been noted in many cases, but the one that has Broadway talking is that between Count Salm, , the dashing tennis player who married Millicent.Rogers, heiress to millions, and Count Otto, his older brother Count Salm was always the life. of the party. Count Otto is a‘ glum, teticent figure about the night clubs, He dislikes public attention as much as his brother seemed to crave it. Thugs who slug men for pay are called gorillas or “grills.” A “grill” cares nothing about the principal involved when he is hired to attack All he wants is his pay and he will not-fight unless he gets it. A “grill” works at a job in the“build- ing where our office is. He usually is given a wide berth by other men in ,the shop. Today he became in- volved in an argunient with his fore- man and the argument ended in a fight in an areawa: The foreman knocked: out the “grill.” ‘One leaving the scene of the fight 1 ed over the unconscious pug sneered, “That's one fight you didn’t get paid for,’ = with company in the parlor.

BIG SALARY OF LITTLE AVAIL London, Feb. 13.—The Lord Mayor of London gets a salary of $50,000 a year, but this is largely swallow- ed up in the pageantry of office.

The child lifted great solemn eyes to hers and whispered: “I wove you better than anybody. ‘I wove you better than God.” Then they held him up to kiss her lips, and took him away promising that he could come again to see her tomorrow.

Surely the essential thing was not that Coolidge personally “got the job,” but that his policies be carried out in government. In this sense, the very leaders of the caucuses which rejected the in- kisses and tears. “I get so blue|surgents have themselves: been guil- wivout you.

If “party disloyalty” is to be a ground of ,exclusion at all, both sides have been guilty of it. The insurgents may have forfeited their party. rights, but.the forfeiture should have been declared by some one not guilty of the same offense. THREE GREAT DREAMERS Sun Yat-sen may be conclusively dead or positively alive by the time this is ‘printed. Either way, his career is ended. In him expires. one of the three incorrigible theorists of the world. The other two were Eamonn de Valera and Saad Zaghloul pasha. All three lived in dream worlds, oblivious to facts and secing the things that are not: Mrs. ‘Jones of Anytown had al- ready learned, in her study of food for health’s sake, that the founda- tion for health is started in infancy.

Rowell Beware of sheiks; especially the real ones! The well-advertised American girl who proposes to wed her Egyptian prince in Paris, because she cannot legally do it in Cairo, will have to go back under Egyptian laws to live. There she may find out, among other things, that her sheik can divorce her by merely saying so, but she cannot divorce him at all, and that he can legally. take three more wives and unlimited concubines.

Business protests, numerous, but because some Labor unions do the same thing, whenever any of the numerous laws which business thinks ought to be passed to These laws, which each side thinks ought to be passed to regulate the other, but which neither wants for himself, are the very laws that we need more of. Which would Business repeal? sky laws, safety and inspection rules, and regulated rates, service and financing of public utilities?

THE “END”. OF THE WORLD Once more the world has come to an end. Feb. 6 is the date, nd cer- tain persons who the Seventh Day Adventists say are not Adventists sold all their goods preparatory to the event.
