That sort of treachery makes no appeal to Irishmen. The Independent expresses the ut- most confidence that the opponents of the treaty in the dail heed the popular voice, but a political writer in the Irish Times Bays there is no ground for the belief that when the dail meets tomorrow “it will be any better disposed toward ratification.

Secretary Wallace belieges that the farmers of the country can enter, the new year “in a spirit of hope- fulness and good cheer.” While un- willing to make “any hard and fast phophecies,” the Secretary said there are signs which indlcate that “the coming vear should be a better one for the farmer and for those who deal with him than was 1921." Among the hopeful signs enumer- ated by the Secretary were the,im- provement in credit conditions through regular channels and by special agencies Created to meet the farmers’' needs, bringing a lowering of interest rates; reductions already made in freight rates on farm prod- reduction in the cost in 1922 'f producing farm crops and a prob- able increase in the price of grain, following what seems likely to be 2 decrease in acreage planted to such crovs. he paralyzing effect of the sudden drop in prices last vear is wearing f1.” the Secretary declured "“and farmers will enter ithe new year more Toperully, believing that the worst is over.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 2. —French “slang is of a higher quality than English slang, which has been improved but little ‘since its invention, -according to Dr. Clarence Stratton, director of Eng- lish in the Cleveland public schools. The French slang is more sugges- tive and more picturesque. Its clever, which English slang often isn’t, Dr. Stratton said. “Take the case of George Ruth, the world’s champion home-run hitter, for instance,” the director continued. “To call him Babe and then to translate Babe into Bam- bino—there's nothing clever in that. But the man who first called a left-handed pitcher a southpaw had a real idea. Likewise, to say a pitcher has a glass arm Is clever and _descriptive. “Has somebody handed you a lemon?
