But the time has really a deep significance. The diploma is the outward sign at least that something has been ac- complished. In some instances the diploma symbolizes the end of a successful school career, in others it may mean. merely that the recipient has just “slipped” through by. the grace of his wits and the kindly cooperation of an indulgent. teacher. To offset the jocular side of diploma season there is the tragedy of the boy or girl who did not make the grade. The value of the diploma can only be weighed by the disappoint- ment of the person who fails; who leaves college or high school without the satisfaction of finishing with the class. It has a direct bearing upon that person’s life however suc-- cessful he or she may be in the career entered. The little scroll of sheepskin means most to the fellow who has missed getting his by a narrow margin. . It is reported that in 1862, a boy left his class and en- listed in the army, served through the war and returned to his school and completed the course. For some reason or other he never got the coveted diploma. This statement was made three years ago as the old man spoke at the same school on Decoration Day. The school authorities corrected the error, enrolled him in the graduation class of that year and issued the long delayed diploma. The veteran never lived to receive it. He died before it arrived through the mails but his family buried the diploma with him because they knew that one of the disappointments of his life was his failure to receive the reward. This merely serves to emphasize the great advantage of having a diploma. This soldier had earned a diploma from his nation for valor that far surpassed what the school authorities gave him; he had learned greater and harder lessons in the great university of hard knocks, but with all of that he longed for the documentary evidence to show that he-had completed his high school course cum laude. The graduation season with its merriment, its valedic- tories and its serious side induced by the necessary partings and farewells is a great milestone in anyone’s life and should not be dismissed too lightly. Reflected through its many activities is the value of edu- cation and the accomplishments that can be worked out by those who have been trained to face the battles that are ahead. All honor to the graduates. It is a serious stage in any young life. GLASS WORKERS’ BANK e Another labor union goes into the banking business. This time it is the American Flint Glass. Workers’ Union. It is going to open its own bank immediately in Toledo, O., where its national headquarters are situated. The organization is well equipped for this step, at least as far as funds are concerned. On April 1 it had $694,00¢ in its treasury, mostly deposited in Toledo banks, and it is} said to be the richest union per capita in the world. It is a natural development for a union that has a lot of Money on deposit in a bank operated by “capitalists,” to go ahead and open a bank of its own to hold the money. And then, having given its own patronage to its own bank, it is natural to reach out and invite deposits from other sources. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers showed the way, and various unions are following, making a sur- prisingly easy transition from “labor” to “capitalism.” WORK The movies, which are under business pressure, fre- quently provide that a star shall do or not do certain things. Banks have similar rulings. Modern business pressure will force similar tactics in every line of endeavor. Some day you'll apply for a job. You'll be told you can have the job if you agree to get a minimum of seven hours sleep every night, see a movie at least once a week, and be examined by your family doctor every three months. And if the job is very important, it may be specified that you have or adopt at least two children. REVENGE Fifty Koreans, says a dispatch from the Orient, put their || heads on a railroad track, awaiting the train. Suicide to “revenge” themselves on a boss whom they thought cheated them. They were arrested before the train arrived. Lucky this practice does not prevail in America. Imagine the entire electorate of some large American city placing its head on a track after analysis of the work of some politicians.

It goes without saying that the making of a good man begins when the man is a baby in the cradle. Any student of human nature willconfess the deficiency which sur- rounds the activity of human agen- cies in remaking a young chap who has been subjected during the formative period of his life to ques: tionable environment. If parents could ‘be brought to appreciate how important it is to center their at- tention upon individual hives and make it a matter of conscience to direct child thought along proper and useful lines, much of the diffi- culties with the law which men and women in their more mature years encounter would be obviated.

I hope you don't. mind.” “I have plenty of time, if you ‘mean me,” said Doctor Bill taking out his watch. “Most of my bird patients are about cured, and: ready to go home. As far as I am con: cerned you may talk as long as you like.” Nancy and Nick pulled their chairs closer. “We dearly love a story,” jsaid they. “And if it is about you, it’s sure to be interesting. We never saw a stork before, although we have a screen at home with your pidiur embroidered on it in silk.” } dignity. “Then I shall begin at the beginning: “My real home is on a roof in a town in Holland. Vrou Van Stiépel, the Dutch lady upon whose house I Hive, has a box built for my wife and myself to make our nest in. It is is—and in the summer, with our young children growing up and our family about us, we are very happy. “The fish-market is our boarding house. We get most of our meals there, as the fish-monger throws to us all the heads and tails and parts of the fish he cannot sell. the fish we eat almost anything that is given to us. Vrou Van Stimpel never has to pay two cents to a garbage man. “To show our appreciation of all this kind attention, we keep the place cleared of rats and mice and bugs. Wherever you find storks, there you will find a clean city.” “But what do you do with the rats and mice?” interrupted Nick. “We eat them,” said the stork calmly. “But only from a sense of duty. We don't really enjoy them. “Of course,” he added hastily, “you may think that we have very low taste. But we are of a noble and very ancient family—we storks are —as old as King Tut's great-grand- father. Besides we have most aris- tocratic relations. We always spend our winters with them in Africa.” “Africa!” cried the Twins. “My, you must travel a lot.” “I do,” said the stork proudly. |“Every fall my wife and 1 meet our friends at an arranged point, and fly across the Mediterranean Sea to Africa. It never snows there and it is so warm and balmy all winter that we have quite a nice time. There we do not nest. We do not live on a roof either, but spend most of our time wading in a shallow river called the Nile. Jt is fun to fish and catch frogs and gossip with our cousins. We quite enjoy our winter vaca- tions.’ ! “Who are your relations?” asked Nancy. | The stork looked gratified. One always likes to have a chance to talk about his rich relatives—even a stork. “There ‘are so many,” said he im- Portantly, “that I hardly know where to begin. All my relatives, in- cluding myself, belong to the heron family. That is, “Heron” should be our last name. But there are many divisions to the family that we almost forget that.

Rowell Don’t put too many strings on the gifts you leave the public in your will. The Metropolitan Art Museum, in New York, has felt obliged to decline the gift of the great art collection of the late Senator W. A. Clark on account of the conditions of the gift. It would have involved providing a separate building and keeping the collection separate for- ever. This was not feasible, artistically or financially. Such limitations, even if reasonable when -made, fre- quently become’ impossible with the progress of time. There are educationa] and charitable foundations already obsolete or dispropriate, under the weight of dead hands. Wher you leave your money to the public, don’t seek to perpetuate your own notions too strictly. They may be as outgrown as a I want to be contented with con- ditions. I know that one should never be contented with attainment, and I am still seeking something which perhaps will come to me sometime when I am old and passion- less and cold and sensible. | CARE OF THE SECRET Four years ago, when I married DRAW Jack, I did not have much of an { Well, it's all over and the mem-| idea of what lay before me.

J don't known, It almost seems to me that I am just as much a creature of moods and impulses, of little jealousies and trivial prejudices as I always have been. There is, however, one thing that I have learned, little Marquise, and learned thoroughly. Love does not change character. Character is something of slow growth. Character | ‘an be changed no more by love than it can be changed by religion. I think, perhaps, that I am grow- ing more tolerant, and I am almost! sure that Jack is growing more} thoughtful, but neither of us have reached anything near {fie tolerance or thoughtfulness that we have been taught to believe would come to us| immediately through a great love. I am an old married woman now with two children. I have passed out of the romance of marriage long ago. In fact, my romance was shat- tered early and I have found that life is very different from that of which I dreamed. 1 am leaving this place where the beginning of my married life was spent, seeking not thrills, not passionate love, not even a great love, but contentment. word, Until one morning when I found that I was not my husband's j first love [ had not had room in my heart for a jealous thought.

If clothing adheres to a burned surface soften with water before try- ing to remove it. Many persons become frightened when their clothing catches fire, and run, fanning the flames. This is especially true of children. Mothers should teach their children to roll on the floor or the ground when the clothing catches fire. Also to grab any old ‘cloth, an old {quilt, comforter, blanket, robe, or} anything of the kind, and wrap themselves in it. New York, May 6—A group of| forlorn men in Bryant Park watch a sparrow pick up crumbs and frag- | ments of peanuts and fly to its nest. e nest is tucked away under the ties of the Sixth avenue elevated line. Ts s rush by, just a few feet above the nest, like great yellow juggernauts, screeching, grinding and roaring. In the tumult below there are rattling street cars and thousands of taxis, with their terrifying sirens. The men with empty pockets and threadbare ‘clothing stand there watching the miracle of life under the ties, watching the parent feed its young. One wonders whether they are comparing their own lot with that of the sparrows. For some of them in all probability will return home at night, with nothing with which to feed their young. That human life begins and peréists in this teeming city is a greater miracle than that of the birds nesting in the elevated ties. There are’ many rewards to be had by living in New York, but there are also many penalties. Even if one were not to go tg the theater or take any part in the gay life of the city, living as much of a home life as would be possible in any other city, the roar of the streets, the rush of traffic, the vibration and din of the subways take ‘their toll. Life in New York is fundamentally an inside life. More people propor- tionately are concerned with the question’ of physical fitness here than i ny other’ place in America.

That is a long smoldering flame which has broken into conflagration since the World War. ‘For at least as long as anyone now on earth shall live, this is to be the chief problem of mankind. But the other menace, that Rus- sian example and propaganda would overthrow the capitalism and indi- vidualism of the world, is now most- ly bugaboo. For better or worse, this is a conservative and capite istic world and the menace of whole- sale revolution, which was very real five years ago, is gone. Don’t dream Russian nightmares. But do watch, as the biggest and most upsetting thing in the world, the new self-consciousness and ra- cial pride of Asia and Africa. Movie Good Depends on Understand- ing They Present Moving pictures, the same ones shown all over the world, will spread international understanding, and therefore peace, to the world. So Will Hays, movie czar, opines. It depends on what sort of under- standing they present. If they rep- resent foreign nations as we repre- sented “Fritz” during the war, or as we represented Mexico until the Mexican government protested, or represent America as our Wild West thrillers sometimes do, they will pro- mote international misunderstand- ing, rather than understanding. ING BURNS In this. way the flames may be smothered. After burned clothing has been removed, wet the injured part with water and apply baking soda. Lard, oil, tallow, molasses or moist flour will do in an emergency. Afterward mix soda, glycerin and water to make a thin paste, adding a little carbolic acid. White lead’ paint is said to be a good remedy for burns. Mix as for painting, but considerably thicker, and apply with brush. his trunk in a taxi window and a woman fainted. JAMES W. DEAN.
