Mr. Mellon sat down ‘and began thumbing a few pages that had figures gn them, and it was discovered that the Old World ‘was sitting not so well on the off-side of the ledger. One by one the statesmen came over to see what | bargains they could drive. The Pittsburgh gentle- an gently but firmly convinced them that, yes,; there really had been a war. i] ith Mr. Mellon’s.verities in hand, the several fi jitaries wended their way homeward, and then Jearned they had made their first mistake. d..thought that because the cannon had ceased ing the fighting was all done. It didn’t take long ; them to unlearn that. j¢ franc skipped its way down the primrose path. Every time it fell four points France changed cabinets, and it fell four points more. Somehow the troubles with the franc seemed to perch them- selves right on our doorstep. The French folk and the French newspapers and the English began tak- ing a sly verbal poke at us here and there. The word Shylock was mentioned in the Rialto, and not in a whisper either. = Now it has reached the point where the war debt ip the cause of all the old world’s woe. It used to Be the Teutonic autocracy, militarism, ruthlessness, | but the source of the infection has shifted to our infernal hoggishness. Oh, dear, it’s always some- thing! ‘It has reached the point where money-laden Americans are finding it hard to force their way about over there so they can squander a dollar or two on overpriced knick-knacks. “You will note by this that the worst has really come, for the last thing Europe ever was known to do was to block the path of the American chuntp on his tour of the whatnot markets. ° Someone has said, we belicve, that this was to be an unprecedented era of: peace. He must have been a heavy smoker. For, you can’t stir up nearly as much dirt with‘a cannon as you can with a pock- etbook. ft Yes, They Are Collegiate Women are so versatile! Only last spring, atthe Women’s World’s Fair at Chicago, it was announced that there were more than four hundred profeasions and trades in which ‘women are successfully participating. There are exhibits of women plumbers, artists, iron workers, explorers, stone masons, steeplejacks and what have you. _ Since then, however, the bobbed-hair sex has taken ‘John, that only the most intrepid adventurers have | over jset eyes on it. This summer the Quebec govern- pac ahother place in American life. It is the business of bootlegging. iEnforcement officials in New York recently re- orted difficulties encountered in trying to catch sminine dispensers of liquor. But it seems that the newly-practiced wiles are not acquired naturally. No, they are learned at Bootleg College of Chicago: where there is not a dry subject in the curriculum. — "One co-ed who flunked the course in Law Evasion (ahe was a star in Alco-Chemistry, Salesmanship, ‘fransportation and Finance) was arrested the other day in Denver with ten pints of whisky concealed in her blouse. It was she who told about the school. She had worked her way from matriculation to com- ™Miencement as a moonshine delivery girl and had studied under one of the most prominent deans of the Profession. i Home For the Child i There is a growing realization that the home mhust be made a place for the safeguarding and edu- | cation of children. ‘The modern home has devel- oped more of less into a convenient place to sleep eat, while the activities of life are carried on its walla.

But can we arrive at this point? Is the present {@eneration capable of making real homes? Has ‘the present generation the necessary appreciation j of beauty itself, to be able to impart any character- j istic of beauty to a home? Is the average parent today imbued with enough of the spirit of fair | play to provide such an atmosphere in a home? It is extremely doubtful. The money-grubbing regime of today makes so many demands upon time ‘and energy that no leisure is left to cultivate beauty {and the intense competition of the period leads to , sharp commercial practices that tend to destroy the fine sensibility of honesty so necessary to a true spirit of fair play. Thus the trouble lies with us, ithe present gencration, and not with the growing youth upon which we heap much undeserved criti: {cism. | pie ae ONT ' Neglected Roadsides ‘One of the most potent factors in beautifying the | country is the utilization of roadsides for the plant- | ing of trees. There is nothing more attractive than long, shaded avenues and lanes and highways, over which countless thousands pass and repass. They could be made one of the most effective means of | advertising any locality if set with trees along their sides, \ And in this connection a word might be said for | fruit trees, because ef the beauty of their blossoms lin the spring and the added value cf the fruit later jin the summer and autumn. It may be taken for j granted, cf course, that the trees would be to some extent damaged by the breaking off of blossoms and | that the planters of the trees would reap but little | benefit of the fruits. But they would have bene- | fited others even more than trees planted merely | for appearance and shade. And if the cost were no jus Europe soon found herself u little | #teater than for shade trees the planters would} |have lost nothing. Perhaps, in time, the motoring | tiveness. | But whether fruit or shade trees are selected, the ; big thing is to plant some kind of trees. Nothing | Speaks so well for a town, for its comfortable, homelike atmosphere, as strects lined with beauti- jful trees. Trees planted now in a very few years will be large enough:to make a very presentable ap- pearance and many communities would do well to start the planting now, as the establishment of a fu- {ture asset. \ Tears Obsolete? | A granddaughter of Sarah Bernhardt, comment- ing on the fact: that women no longer were moved to tears in the theater, wondered if it is due to con- = may, in these days of sex-equality, be thought an unworthy weakness. And she was reminded that the majority of women have, in the last 12 years or so, had too intimate an acquaintance with real trage- ever well portrayed. This is, no doubt, the explanation. younger generation. Luckily for herself, the mod- jern girl's training does not encourage weeping over trifles. Like her brother, she has learned to keep a “stiff upper lip” and her healthy, open-air life imakes her still less addicted to tears. In fact, cept for occasions of real grief, tears are obsolete. There is, however, another element that enters | lroken-hearted.

So it is not altogether, surprising that woman has scrapped her one-time most effective weapon in favor of an even more ef- fective one. Very fewmen want a clinging vine type of sweetheart ov wife today. They want a girl who can play a good game of tennis, golf, fish a bit, swim well, ride a horse, wear smart clothes well and who wastes no time simpering or weeping. In other words the modern man wants a companion and not a teary dependent. In that he shows his good sense, 1 eee ' A Mighty Fall Up North i (Boston Transcript) Tornotc—For almost a hundred years the exist- ence in northeastern Quebec near Labrador of a wa- terfall and cataract rivaling Niagara has been |known. ~ But so inaccessible is the location, lying as it does some 400 miles northeast of Lake St. {ment is sending out an expedition of fifty men in three airplanes to explore the locality and report on the commercial possibilities of the waterfal) as a power development, The falls are situated on Hamilton river which finds its outlet in the Atlantic through Labrador. The river is about as large as the Ottawa so that the flow of water is less than at Nigara. But there is a petpendicular drop of about 300 feet compared with Niagara’s 160, and including a series of smaller falls and rapids above and below extending over a distance of twelve, miles, the total fall of the Hamil- ton river is 760 feet. The canyon below the falls is j said to be unique. The falls and canyon are some- j times described as McLean's Falls and McLéan Lcanyon, after John McLean, a.Hudson Bay Company employe, who visited them in 1829 and afterwards lived in Elora, Ontario. According to the Geo: graphic Board of Canada, the correct name of the falls is Hamilton, after the river, though hey some- |times go by the name of Grand Falls, Patséachewan Falls, Pitshetonau Falls, or Mistapowistock Falls. The Hamilton river is about 700 miles long and ‘has a drainage area of 29,100 square miles, Describing the falls Dr. A. P. Low of the department of mines of the Canadian government:says: “Such a. fall (760 feet) would not be ext ry for a small stream in » mountainous country, but is phe- nomenal in a great river like the Hami The is nearly circular and It is surrounded on all sideration for their appearance or shame for what |‘ dy to be moved to tears by the. make-believe, how. | And it has had| & a most beneficial effect upon the education of the| } Men no longer are so kindly | qe: basin into which it precipitates itself at this point THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE j THE STORY SO FAR ' Sandy MeNeil, in love with life,| marries Ben Murillo, a rich Itafian,| to pleuse her impoverished fami ‘Tyranny by Murillo and frequent quarrels follow.

Though I knew Jerry was worth loving, that little speech of Mamie's still kept bobbing up in my mind.

We don’t know when love will come, neither do we know when it will go.
