New York offica, in Germany Says “Calf Rope” The other day we watched a couple of school kids dis- puting over which should be “It” in a game they were playing. Pretty soon they clashed and began to “wrassle” all over the lot, until one tripped the other and threw him on his back. Astride the fallen boy, the victor demanded peremptorily: “Say calf rope, dern ya, say calf rope.” The Vanquished lad threshed about violently for a while, wail- ing. Then he lay quiet for a spell, apparently hoping the top boy would get tired, the teacher would appear on the Scene, or some'hing else would happen to his advantage. Nothing did. Finally, from underneath, there came a tir “Say it louder, doggone ya. Say it louder,” boy on top. “Calf rope,” bellowed the boy on the ground. Then he got up, brushed off his clothes and said, chipperly, “Come on. Red, less p T'll be it.” Finally, Germany has said “calf rope” to France. Ever Since the armistice German politicians have been trying to get out of paying or doing what they honestly could to pay for the damage done in the war G 1aNn) Their policy has been based entirely the belic if they held out long enough the allies would split France would crumble, or something would ha they would not have to pay. But nothing of the sort has occurred. So Chancellor Stressmann announces Germany’s Second, and this time, perhaps, unconditional surrender in the Ruhr. Anything may happen in Germany now. As the result of a sorely disillusioned people there may be a monarchy revolution, a red uprising, dismemberment, a mixture of all these, or nothing at all save a lot of noise and smoke, tinged with a minimum of bloodshed. Our guess is the last named. It is also our sincere hope Premier Poincare was not sitting astride Germany's pros- trate form for nothing. He wanted to get her in the frame of mind where she would play ball instead of try- ing to crab the game at every turn. The indications that he has succeeded. If Germany will only get up now, brush off her clothes, so to speak, and cheerfully go about being “It” for a while lgng enough to set herself right with the world, nothing and nobody can hold her back. Waiting for her there is still that ace in the sun.” mumble. yelled the Millionaire is driving a taxi in Ch to satisfy some people.

Hiram Johnson, who thinks the United States is still a million miles from nowhere and wants us to stay there and tell the rest of the world to go hang, may yet make an undignified dive for the tunnel under the senate office building to get out of a shower of two-ton bombs drop- ping on Washington. © Every day the speed, capacity, effective radius, endur- ance and general performance of war planes are increas- ing. Fieut. Al Williams has just sent his navy plane bolting thru the blue at the breathless speed of 266 miles an hour —between four and five miles a minute! At that rate—and they’re getting faster and faster all the time—a squadron of airplanes could cross the Atlantic ocean from England, France or Germany and unload death and destruction on Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington. : “But ah,” say the sceptics, “Williams was flying a rac- ing plane. Heavy bombers can’t fly so fast.” Listen, folks! Less than 20 years ago there was no such thing as an airplane. The man who let it get noised about that he was working on a “flying machine” was at once set down as a harmless nut. Not a fool, but a nut. Today man outflies the bird. He flies higher, faster, further and longer. He flies upside down, forward, back- ward and sideways. He shoots as he flies and kills as he goes. : i The time is nearly here when hostile powers in Europe or Asia can sit tight in their capitals and send wireless- controlled fleets of invisible planes—invisible because of low visibility paints and the height at which they can fly—and raze our cities and destroy our populations. Oh, yes! Two can play at that game. But do we want to? Would we not be displaying more intelligence and a higher type of civilization were we to figure out a way to world peace instead of world war, and take the lead in establishing it? ‘ With the exception of our Hanks and our Hirams, we, as a people, are coming, more and more, to think so, Even they will wake up some day. | : ; It may take quite a jolt, but if they don’t hurry they Il get it.

Scores of bottles were found in one senator's office, secreted in old mailbags. : When the bootleggera learned of the hat! at the senate office bulld- ing there was a scramble to obtain the bottles with their genuine lables. Competition for them became very keen and the workmen in charge of + t he renovation of the building cleaned up a respectable amount. Somo botties with the labels unimpaired brought 50 cents each.

Dear Folks: There's an orchard that borders the shores of the Bound, on tha edge of a litte farm—a place where a fellow can wander around, with @ joy in its quiet charm. But out (na corner apart from the rest, is a spot that I like to eee; for there te a sight that is new to the West—a lone little cheatnut tree. It tan't as tall aa the others there are, dut it's covered with dig green burra; it takes me away and it carrica me far, where a dim recollection stirs. It takes me to fields of an earlier day, in the Autumne that used to be; and there ts a vision that beckons and stirs, in the form of a chestnut tree. I'm secing the kida that are gathered around, and throwing with club and stick; we gather the burra aa they fall on the ground, un- heeding the pins that prick, And then, in the chill of the gather- ing dark, we carry the bags we boast; and hurrying home at the end of the lark, wa plan for a chestnut roast. This lone little tree on the shore of the Sound, they tell me ts quite a cheat; inside of its burrs there has never been found a nut that is good to eat. But t @ small and a trivial thing, for it brings me a chestnut burr; and with it I travel on Memory's wing to the Land of the Days That Were!
