When ths last appropriation bills were before congress it was noticed that the committce had not included thereln the usual provision for free seeds, That was an unheard of move, but made along with others for the pur- pose of doing away with those expendi- tures which the coumtry comid get along well without. Because it meant tne elimination of ome of the appeals to constituents upon which many of the congressmen have depended it was hardly expected that it would be en- dorsed, and in keeping with expectation, even though believed to be against good judgment, the free seed appro- priation was returned. In the presentation of appropriation’ bills at this session of congress inere bas been another effort made to cur- tall expenditures by the non-inclusion ot the free seed appropriation. Tt is the right attitudé to take, bmt it i con- sidererable to hope, in view of the strong insistence for it in-the past, that it will not be restored by those mem- bers of congress who are unwilling to deprive themselves of what they con-; sider the vote, getting effect of suchseed distribution, It is a matter of‘only a few hundred thousand dollars that is involved in buying free seed. Them of course there Is the expense attached to getting them ready for mailing and that of the act- ual distribution, but the sending of the same material each year is far from the object Intended when the seed dis- tribution idea was first advanced, Those who have received the seeds gre fully aware that ‘it would be far better for the government to keep the money thet is involved in the plan in the treasury, or make use of it for oe- ter purposes. It is one of the ways in which government expenditures .cap be curtafleq without . causing any- doss or handicap to those in’ whose interests the free seed distribution is advocated. The / fact that the regular appropriation has not been included in the - bill; cannot, however, be regarded as reflecting the View of congress as yet. CRIMINALS AND THE PUBLIC. In most instances little is known to the gemeral public of the facts sur- rounding the pardoning or paroling of érimpials, and yet time and again thege {» reason for believing that the safety and welfare of the pubkic get nd- ary rather than first comsideration ‘when it comes to cutting short the sentences of criminals. There are good reasons for believing what those who heard the facts in the first place, those who im- posed the sentence, were in the best po- sition to pass upon the gomestion of pun- \shmoent, rather - than those who know Bttic ~f the matter, barring of courss the fact that there has developed evi- dence since. conviction to alter the sit- uation, New York has been muffering from a large amount of crime. In that it is mot different from other large cities. And yet it comes to light that among those arrested for imcreasing this erime list are those who have been given their Mberty from prison befors the ex- piration of their sentences, and in cer- taln instances they have been ‘individ- uals who have erime rewrds of long LIt doesm’t refleet the best kind of judgment when a man who entered a lite of crime back in 1882 and in the next 30 years was semtenced ' to prison. five times for crimes he committed was given his Iiberty by a parole board af- ter he had served five years ‘of the kfe ferm sentence he received when last predented in court.

The arrests the same day in- cluded another who was out on parole from a reformatory, who regarded h's liberty as a lcense to" resume his old habits. There may be exceilent oppor- tunitigs for the work of the parcling or pardoning boards, but there are respom- sidilities to the public that canumot be disregarded, “ B D ARG TODAY IN IBELAND. Gradualty has there been a relin- quishmeht of_ comtrol of affairs in Ire- land by the British. This is of course part of the agreement to turn the gov- ernment of Ireland over to the Irish. The Irish Free State has béen estab- lished, its government s functioning, an Irish governor general has been chosen and now ae the last move to the accom- plishment of long cherished ambitions there have been withdrawn the Brmish troops who have long been stationed in = | overhead bridge lmnhdwmtmm good reason for what' might be called the send off that was given the retiring British* soldiers by the Irish. They were glad to see them going, but they had also come to appreciate the fact tmz: the cause for ill feeling had been to a great degree removed and grounds for a better Trelationship in the future es- tablished, Clearly apparent to the Imish must it be that the greatest menace at the pres- ent time rests with the Irish. The fight is now between the Free Staters and that small number of frreconchiab ee who are hopelessly struggling to break down the new government. They are no longer fighting ¢he British. They arn endeaworing to wipe out Irishmen and in turn are being greatly decreased in number, or driven to hiding, by the stiff :mforcement of the penalties for failure to respect the laws of the new govern- moit! Ireland has reuson to be happy but it cannot be so until it has checked the fighting among themselves. EIGHTH STREET CROSSING, For the second time eorts have been made to have the grade crossing at Eighth streef climinated. It was a fail- urc as far.as the construction of an was concerned, but there is to be obtained that added pro- tection that will come from the main- tenance of a crossing tender at that point several' hours longer each day aad on each day in the week. That, ¥ re- spect is shown.to the flagman, shouM be . beneficial. if it does not overcome entirgiy the danger at that point. As was pointed out to the commis- sion, there can be no question concern ing the menace to the users of the high- way at that point. The crossing is so located as to make it dangerous for ve- hicles even if the track was not hidden, but the combination of the two pres- ents a situation that probably causes as | many as can to avoid the use of that highway. It is to be sincerely hoped that sthe presence there of a flagman to warn ail users of the agproach of a train serve to prevent any further acciden's at _at point. A flagman will be on duty during the hours of the heaviest traffic on the highway and likewise at a time when most of the trains will pass. Between the hours when the crossing is under guard it will be the duty of those users to give added at- tention to their own safety and to b+ alert to make whatever move is neces- sary for protection. Situated at the foot of & sharp steen grade, it is an extremely bad point for the driver of a vehicle to negotiate, es- i pecially should he get a last minute warring of the approach of a train. It lis thus a crossing that should be ap- proached at all times with great cau tion rather than a reckless bravado. It may be a, bit awkward to come to a point, but the driver that does so is not likely to fgure In the report of any ac- cident or fatality at Eighth street ‘What is good practice at other points 1is really demanded there when the crossing tender is off duty. THE DENVEER HOLDUP. There may have been instances when the extreme care that has been used at times in the transfer of large sums of money was regarded as uUnRecessary, but in view of what took place in Den- ver, in front of the United States mint, while a_truck was being loaded with packages of money, it becomes evident that it is impossible to use too much caution if safety is to be insured. There are reasons for believing that with a fifth of a million thoroughly un- derstood what was being moved, that they had posted themselves upon &> amount of protection that was uswahy provided and had carefully laid their plans to dispuse of the guard and make a rich haul. Their scheme worked out well because they -were aided throughi the apparently inadequate paid to;the guard. The robbers were =0 thoroughly n touch_ with the protective measures A ¢d by those handling the monoy that they quicly - eliminated them. In’ other words the imadegpacy of the guard was.seemingly ome of the encouraging features from the stand- point of the robbers. Because ‘the transfer of the money was so, poorly protected their job was made the eas- jer, for once they had gotten the loot their highpowered car was an import- ant safeguard. It may not be once in 500 times when money is being tramsferred that crimi- nals are wise to ‘what is goimg vn, or ot in :;‘u ;protection about such operations.. Tt is. preferable to have tos much and not need it .than to have too little and permit or lend encouragement to what took place at Denver. For its good effect apon others of a similar mind as those robbers it ‘was unfortu- nate that they were not shown, through the protective features emcomraged, to have staged a dismal failure.

Charles has a perfectly wonderful position and by the time he is 30 he is going to be president of the company.” “Then I don’t see why you can’t have your own napkins and tablecioths,’ the ce little grandmother declared firmly. “Think of getting married and using ho- tel napkins three times a day that are run through a mangle and are damp and marked with indelible ink instead of a proper monogram.

'ETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Fight to the Finish. Mr, Editor: The first thing I saw when I took up Monday's Bulletin was i® column headed Prohibition Conference at the White House. Where, may I ask, could such a conference find a more appropriate place to hold a pro- at the White House? The only liberty that prohibi- tion takes from a man is the right to take up the whole sideWalk instead of part of it—mnot knoming or caring who he knocks off into the gutter—but on the other hand it helps to fit him for any calling that he may choose to fol- low, to benefit him in all conditions of life, as a father, son and hushand. For what wife and mother can be prond of 2 husband or son who is a whiskey or a beer drinker, for if he does not make himself a fool in one way he does in another. A moderate drinker is hard to find, besides he exerts a bad infiu- ence over those who are too weak to | control their ' appetites and though he may not consider himseif to be ‘“his I, like many others, believe that 2 man to a certain extent, is his brother’s keeper and if he throws bad influence over another he will in some way be punished. The prohibl tionists did not enter the hard fight ex- pecting to have an easy time of it. They fully realized the difficulties and handi- caps that were placed bef¢re them, for they well knew the multitude of men that were slaves to the rum curse evil. but since they have entered the fight they are going to keep at it, not allow- ntenuenn‘flg one discouragement to deter them | from their duty.

CHILD TRAINING MAKING THE MOST OF STORIES. By Mary Frances Davis One of the most valuable assets of the mother of small children is the abil- ity to search through her treasure- house of stories and find just the right one for the need of the moment. All children love stories, and are eag- er to listen to any mieresting one, but by giving careful thought to the selec- tion of her stories a motber may make them contribute directly to the mental and spiritual development of her chil- dren. The real purpose of telling stories is to give joy, and of course this prim- ary aim should always be uppermost in | the mind of the narrator. The simplest way to classify stories is according to the age of the hearers. Nursery rhymes are used universally as the very first stories, for they delight children who sre still mere bables. The jingling rhythm first attracts the at- tention, and after many repetitions, as the little minds develop the words be- gin to convey mental pictures, and the story is gradually understood. Many babies only two years old recognize and enjoy most of the Mother Goose rhymes. There is a slight gap between the Mother Goose tales, and the first stories given in story-books. We have found that two-year old children greatly en- joy simple tales relating their own per- sonal experiences, when told in a clear, direct manner. For instance—“Once a little. boy named Preston went out for a walk, and he fell down and began to cry. His friend, the squirrel, ran down from a’tree, and looked at him. Then his big friend, the dog, ran to him and | barked ‘Bow-! wow.’ Then, along came his sister, and said, ‘Don't cry, little Brother.' So the [iltle boy stopped cry- ing, and steod up, and smiled at all his friends.” Mothers kill find ample ma- terial for those home-made stories in every-day happenings, and should "use simple words and keep the action brief. The stories that naturally follow these fall into two classes, those which re- late incidents that might really have happened, and those which open up the world of fairies and make-believe. Children of kindergarten age delight in fairy tales, because they stimulate the imagination. In this stage of mental development the imagative powers are very alert, and lttle children al: most as much in the world of e-be- lieve as they do in the real_world. Be- cause of this their minds crave fairy tales. Nature lessons may be taught beauti- fully and impressively through stories, Children enjoy these, and at the same time gather much valuable information. Boys are especially interested in true stories of heroes, and many historical facts may be presented in this way. Several recent collections of childrens’ was appointed United States min- * ister to Great Britain. 1872—A scientific expedition safled from England to examine the physical ‘l.nd biolo'lc;l condition of the ocean basins. - 1;94—ne new Dominion cabinet was sworn ifi, with Sir Mackenzie Bowell as premier. 1921—British and French premiers de- cided to call a meeting of the Su- preme Council of the League to! consider reparations.

These the Germans took over. for the headquarters of their governor. i “Once on the ground the Germans work- ed feverishly at making over the village and constructing the combination of ‘Lit- tle Berlin' and ‘German Hongkong' of which they dreamed. Chinese houses were taken over and made clean; and temporary barracks were built, followed by permanent ones. Wide streets and av- {enues were laid out and lned with shade trees; substantial business buildings and residences rose. Drainage systems were established and other sanitary measures taken, and a supply of pure water was piped from the hills. Massive granite breakwater and plers were constructed: the harbor was dredged to a depth to ap- commodate the largest ships. A huge | floating dock capadble of accommodating | merchantman or warship provided the finishiug touch which made the once sleepy little Tsingtao into full-fledged commercial and naval base and outpost of empire. I “By the outbreak of the WorM War Tsingtao represented a brilliant result ef ‘@erman efficiency.’ Sixty million i dollars had been spent in the transfor- mation. An excellent raflroad tapped the interior of Shantung, mines were being opened and shipping was stead- #ly increasing. Of the city itself the Germans who then numbered more than 4,000 shop-keemers. professional men and other civilians, in addition to the mélitary. boasted with considerable jus- { tifiortion that it was ‘a paradise on, earth.’ Even the surround’ng hills, pre-i viousty denuded had been remianted to i forest. Good German schoole were es ‘tatlished. The excellent bathine beach had been capitalized by the building of hotels and the place was fast becoming & pleasure resort for Europeans resi- dent in China. “The character of this most German of towns was changed in 1914 almost as radically and as quickly as a mo- tion picture setting is transforsned from a representat'on of Lomdon to m of New York.
