FRA FRANK ‘CRANE Copyright, 191% by Frank Crane A boil on the neck may not weigh an ounce, yet it gets more attention than the other two hundred pounds or so of flesh. One sore finger causes more care than the nine that are all right. The short cut to notoriety is by way of being a nuisance. Get out on the street and yell and immediately a crowd will collect; go along and behave yourself and nobody will notice you. One mad dog excites the whole populace; mean- while the 276 unmad dogs go around hunting negli- gible bones. Let any lady, aweary of being undistinguished, walk abroad in trousers and blow a horn, and she will straightway have her fill of mention. Let the poor parson, tired of saving sinners in obscurity, stand on his head in the pulpit, sprinkle a few cuss-words at the church sociable, or elope with HAT strange things gttine to town In ships.

In your village are a hundred houses, mute and inglorious, also unwept, unhonored and unsung; but start a scandal in one of them, and it will loom from the common mass as if a Woolworth building. Newspapers are necessary. It is well to know what's going on. But the most important things that go on do printed. Just the lov The burgla: urderer, the Bolshevik, the window-smasli soap-box apostle, really don’t amount to much. ‘They have little to do with the communal life. They are warts on the body politic. Newspapers feature what is unusual. But what is unusual is not typically true. If it were, it would be Fools, it has been observed, admire the extraor-” > owe ni wise men, the ordinary. And we are mostly ools. The amazing, influential, vital and worth-while history of the people does not get itself written. When you are in Paris, and read of a riot on the harbor front in New York, you fancy the whole metropolis is in an uproar; really the millions of the city knew nothing of the affair except thru the papers, and were busy selling goods and peeling potatoes as usual. I venture to say that even now in Russia, where we suppose everybody to be shaking in their boots, there are millions of people who are sowing and reap- ing, loving and quarreling, about as they did under the czar. We hear a deal about the revolt of labor. Yet there are only a few million labor union members, and not all of them on strike, while the most of the hundred million unorganized workers are plugging along in peace. Cheer up! Any morning's issue of the newspaper would indicate we are‘on the verge of a revolution But the newspaper features the blatherskite. If it told of all the sober, conscientious and decent workers that are going along minding their business, it would require 20,000 pages of fine type. And you wouldn't read it. ave. 8. She told her deliverers it had been the habit of a young man whom she know as Loule Guide, about 26 years old, to moet her on the way to school each morning. It was his custom, she said, to accompany her part way entertaining her with stories of wealth, luxury and happl- nese in a distant city where he was & man of influence.

She was told, she maid, that any attempt on her part to escape would mean death When she did not return home at the usual time ‘that afternoon her family became apprehensive of foul play.
