Freedom and liberty produce wealth, and wealth destroys sgis : ‘ “Liberty can’t live long in a rich country. There is no denying that we are a rich coun- point where we don’t care what happens to our liberties so long as we continue to make money? A great many students of the times share Darrow’s fears. It isn’t surprising that they do. For the new is always strange and a bit terrifying.| And we in the United States have embarked| on a new kind of life. culture that is not like any culture that ever appeared before. It is founded on a new basis; the removal from the path of every man of} every material discomfort that science or} Machinery can conquer. ff course, we haven’t perfected it yet. There are still slums in our big cities; there are still the soft coal fields, for instance, where thousands of men and women are fighting dire want. But we have gone far. The average laboring man in America has more luxuries than the rich man had a generation ago. We don’t often comprehend what a revolu- tion this has involved. Did you ever realize that until very recently it was taken for grant- ed, by everyone, that the great bulk of the population of even the most prosperous coun- try always would be very poor? Did you ever realize that everyone not long ago assumed that it was impossible to form a society in which the huge majority of inhabitants would not be forever submerged in poverty? We have gotten away from that. Without exactly meaning to, we have set up our society on a new basis. We. have decided that pro: perity can extend to all. We take it for sranted that carpenters: and masons who are building a house shall drive to work in their own automobiles—automobiles that are often more expensive than the car of the man whose _ house they are building. We take it for grant- _ ed that a factory hand may buy a radio, deck his wife in stylish clothes and send his boy to | college if he sees fit. . | And all of this means that we are erecting | an entirely new civilization. We have com- pletely reversed some of the most fundamen- tal tenets of all other cultures. No wonder that some men, like Mr. Darrow, get pessim- istic! Our new edifice cannot be measured by the old yardsticks. But there is more reason for hope than for ad uragement. We are making for ourselves ’@ new freedom—freedom from material cares, from privation, from heart-breaking worry, from the chains of want. We are broadening our horizons; why should we think that the vision of spiritual freedom need be lost? This is not an age for pessimists. age of hope. We are on the threshold of a new day.

The little community of Saint-Ouen, in whica the foire operates, has complained to the pre- fecture of the Seine, contending that the foire should be abolished for hygienic and esthetic reasons. The organized ragpickers have pro- tested, naturally enough, against the removal of their ancient market; but it is predicted that the authorities may give greater consider- ation to the beautification of the periphery of Paris than to the traditions, venerable as they are, of the market. Though often frequented through its lons career by connoisseurs of the arts, the Foire aux Puces, or Marche aux Puces (“Flea Fair” or “Flea Market,” as its name suggests) is not Paris. Yet it must be considered as forming 2 part of the curious and picturesque series of markets which embraces the Marche aux Fleurs, the Marche aux Oiseau, the Bourse aux Timbres (where those with the stamp collect- ing mania prowl about in search of rarities), the Foire au Pain d’Epice and the Foire aux Coutes (at which needy artists appeal over the heads of the critics and dealers directly to the men in the street). Flowers, birds, stamps, spiced bread and paintings are among things that one may buy in the streets of Paris, from merchants having no shops, but offering nevertheless wares always worth look- ing at and frequently worth buying—especial- ly when one considers the moderate prices asked, But at the Foire aux Puces thousands of dif- ferent’ articles are on sale at absurdly low the most pleasing of the street markets of!¢ BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, March 3.—The desire for self-government among our so- called dependencies seems to be unanimous. The Philippines, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa have all been heard from and there is no doubt some dis- satisfaction among the natives of Guam, Wake Island and the Midway Islands. The Filipinos and Porto Ricans have legislatures but are under gov- ernor generals appointed by the president. Both have resident com- missioners in Washington. The Ca- nal Zone is a military reservation and administered by the war depart- ment. The Virgin Islands are un- der naval control and so are Guam, Samoa, Wake and the Midways. es ee The latest complaint comes from the Canal Zone, which has a popula- tion of about 30,000, including more than 8,000 Americans. Unable to vote or select any of their public officials, civilians of the Zone hold themselves nevertheless citizens of the United States and hence entitled to some of the priv- ileges of our democratic form of government. This sentiment appears to have come to a head recently with the torney for the Canal Zone on rec- ommendation of the war department. Protest is made not particularly against the dismissal, but about the secret manner in which his office the United States government to give any accounting of the investi- gation or otherwise to indicate rea- sons for the dismissal. F, Edward Mitchell, the district attorney, filed charges against Judge Guy H. Martin. Judge Mar- tin in turn filed charges against Mitchell. Both men were presi- dential appointees. According to information gath- ered at the war department here, the charges were of a legal rather than criminal nature. ee The war department sent Colonel dispute. - On the basis of Trent’s re. port, the judge was allowed to re- main and the district attorney was ENT WHEN TH’ WorD AAT -TH' ELEPHANTS AIR, “~ A MINUTE prices. Almost anything purchasable at sec- ondhand may be found there, particularly bits of bric-a-brac, tapestry, furniture and other objects of interior decoration; although the street stands, carts and little shops that have accumulated along the streets and in the great open space adjoining Paris just outside the Porte de Clignancourt bear a vast array of new handkerchiefs, towels, neckties, hosiery, new and old hardware, machinery and a thousand other things as well. It is said that seldom is the price paid more than 5 francs. The mar- ket is open only on Sundays, and large crowds, peeking useful and decorative objects pass along. It is chiefly the ragpickers and junk col- lectors who bring wares to. the foire. What they offer there are articles selected from the week’s accumulation of odds and ends, pieces they regard as possessing an individual value apart from the general run of cloth, leather, copper, brass, iron and wood that they have gathered in for wholesale disposal. It is said that the Foire aux Puces originated in a decree of Philippe le Hardi. If so, it is! nearly six centuries old. At any rate, it has existed in Paris for a long time, and its name appears to have had no adverse effect upon its clientele. removal of the federal district at-' was investigated and the failure of: OUR BOARDING HOUSE ~~ T WAS IN-TH CIRCUS Cook STAMPEDE, ~—- GRABBIN’ A BIG CAM OF BLACK PEPPER,T RAN IWTo “TH” ELEPHANT -TeasT AA\’ BEGAN BLOWIAS’ IT AROUAID IN-TH’ WASHINGTON LETTER dismissed. Two months after Col. ally requested his vacation and sailed for New of his dismissal until the day he landed. The- complaint that comes from the Canal Zone is based on the fact that no explanation has ever been given to the people over whom | Mitchell held such important author- ity. They don’t know to what extent. Mitchell is supposed to have been unfit or to what extent Judge Mar- tin was vindicated. In Washington, one finds that the Trent report is held confidential and that there is no Prospect that it will be made public. The Panama American vigorously protests that “government of the people, by the people and for the officers of the highest court in the community are discharged summar- ily, and apparently for cause, and the poo which is compelled, and has een compelled, to rely upon their merey and justice is not informed as to the reasons.” The Canal Zone residents are “entirely at the mercy and judgment of fallible executives in Washington.” A This newspaper, in the issue a copy of which has been sent to your correspondent, speaks of “whisper- ings that infest the Canal Zone... and audacious stories” circulated while the report lies buried in the archives. “It is absolutely impossible,” says the editor, “to believe that such a state of affairs could exist in the United States. There, when an im- portant officer of the court is dis- charged, the facts are not withheld and it would be imposshible to do so. The Alice-in-Wonderland touch of district attorneys and marshals sud- denly vanishing into space .. would never be tolerated there.” That goes for federal judges in the states; U. S. attorneys may be dismissed without explanation. Most public officials except appointees are not subject to dismissal on se- cret grounds. But that fact probably won’t appease the voteless people of the Canal Zone, who have to be con- -, tent with the officials we send them and remain in ignorance both as to why they’re appointed and why they’re fired.

From other remarks she made I got the impression that it wouldn’t matter if we all went back to the garden of Eden for our wardrobes because it’s companion- wee that counts nowadays. ell, I guess it must be, judging from the appearance of some of the girls I see. But if marriage falls off I'll not be surprised because I don’t think much of your modern companionship either. There’s no variety in it. You girls all try, to usurp a man’s prerogatives. Pretty soon a woman will be just the same as one man to another man. You smoke his tobacco, drink his strong liquor, drive his cars, weay his hair- cuts, Now that’s all very sporting of you, maybe, but where’s thrill in it for the man?

One of the strongest emotions we are born with is that vicious, devour- ing moniter called “Fear.” Few realize how much this instinct guides and shapes tzeir lives, especially when des'..ed through the care- less habits of parents training their children to think of fear more than of courage. The small child, born with the fear of physical discc mfort, is hourly told of new things tu avoid _ stead or be- ing taught in a constructive way how to enjoy “fe to its fusest ex- tent. The child brought up on “must | nots” develcps an attitude of fear and suspicion of everything with which he comes in contact during his life! Such teaching makes him fearful of play, fearful of eating, and repellent toward those beauti- ful emotions which would naturally develop at th. age of puberty. Boys are not handic. pped in this respect as much as girl and conse- quently grow up with more courage, while their sisters develop a timidity and weakness of both their mental and physical natures that fills the Physician’s waiting rooms. The average woman is constantly sick from the burden of repressed fears which are usually baseless. She fears physical pain, and dwells too long in contemplating its possible causes and nut enough on the causes of more abundant health! Fear of financial losses is the groundless cause of much misery with shrinking women and effemin- ate men. No one on the North American Continent is really starv-' ing, but many people suffer all the! pangs of hunger with an« verworked imagination which brings up vis‘ons of direst poverty.

Would I get thin if the diet wero continued ?” Answer: One glass of malted milk would be a stimulating lunch, but the half pound of figs would be too much to use at the same time. One would certainly not get thin on jthis diet, as this noon meal is really a fattening one. Question: R. S. asks: “What is the cause of dandruff and has diet anything to do with it? What is ‘the cure?” Answer: Dandruff may be caused ‘by a specific microorganism which (burroughs into the scalp and loos- ‘ens the epidermis. However, the usual cause is from not keeping the head clean. Qne with dandruff ishould wash the scalp daily for a {week or two, applying cocoanut oil |after the hair has been thoroughly (dried.

IN NEW YORK ~ New York, March 3.—In all the Broadway big parade no individual or group struggles against greater odds than the “chorus boy.” The very term is one long con- nected with crude jokes and unpleas- ant remarks. The “he-men” watch- ing from their $5.50 seats have only contemptuous comments for chorus men, whatever their ability. Their opportunities for rising in their pro- fession are limited, since fe~ care to give them a hearing. If thev met ahead, it is only after surmounting ‘unusual obstacles and living down, by virtue of strong personality and severance, the reputation for ef- feminacy. Yet all chorus men are not ef- feminate. A youth, like a girl, must start somewhere if he is going to crash the theatrical gates. I have known more than one youngster who suffered endless heartache through < social treatment that followed a chorus job. eee Now and then, one does hear of real successes won by. chorus boys —though they do not attract one- tenth the attention of a chorus girl! who comes into public notice. One of the youngest dance direc- tors on Broadway today —a youth} of 28—came from male chorus ranks. When he had gained the desired stage experience, he went west, winding up in St. Louis. There he took charge of special presentaticns for a film theater and soon was sta; ing, organizing and owning dancing units for a movie theater chain. To- day he is organizer and owner of one of the most spectacular dancing girl numbers on Broadway. Five years ago he was hoofing with an Earl Carroll show. Yes, the boys do get along once in a while. But- it’s one of the hardest fights on! Broadway. Most of them never get out. eee. Which reminds me that a leading dance instructor now has a list of 30,000 chorines on his books, all of whom are on call. Handling so vast a stock of “la- dies of the ensemble,” this eminent Broadwayite informs me, keeps one rather well acquainted with the changing styles in chorus girls. The old gold-digger is no longer desired, he tells me; Broadway has recovered from the notion that a chorine must be rough. Nor cana girl get by ogc on looks and legs; they must. be able to dance and project person- ality. There is, to date, no great insistence that they be able to sing. ° The story is told of a musical comedy dance director who suddenly discovered that a chorus girl could really sing. He stopped proceed- ings at once and, murmuring his as- tonizhment, called the young lady over, 8 “There’s something wrong—you can sing!” he . exclaimed. young lady thanked him. “I’m afraid you won't do. You'd show the rest of the girls op. And you can sing so well that I’m sure ly e stage, ° fore the performance went on she hala singing role.
