WENTY YEARS AGO, at a considerable expenditure of life T and treasure, the people of the United States rescued Cuba from Spanish tyranny, bringing freedom, prosperity and hap- pinees to those who dwell on that island. Other nations less altruistic than ours—Germany, for example— would have held the rescued territory and made it their own, Instead, we guaranteed Cuba its autonomy and ‘undertook to safeguard its liberties—thereby adding one more state to democracy. ‘To-day the people of the United States are once more engaged in war to protect the democratic ideals and purposes of mankind. At such a crisis, with such a task on hand, the United States hasa right to expect fromm Cuba every aid. Under the circumstances, the chief form that aid can take is naturally economic. One of our greatest needs is sugar—the bulk of our supply of | which in the raw has come from Cuba. \ Time was when the Cuban sugar planters felt well repaid if they _ received 31-4 cenis a pound for this staple in its raw form. Now » they are not satisfied with 71 nts and are plainly holding back the product for yet higher prices. Forgotten is the debt due America in their present greed al + for gain. We may succeed in regulating out*own profitcers, but how can we handle those of Cuba? Customs regulation would probably only increase the shortage and add to the discomfort of consumers, Leaving gratitude out of the question, however, the Cuban planters are surprisingly short-sighted in their polic The United States now owns St. Croix, one of the finest sugar producing islands in the world, and we control Hispaniola, which grows the best cane in Santo Domingo—plantings there producing growth five times as long as in Cuba. If the Cuban sugar planters make it plain they mean to pillage instead of help, it will be strange if the United States does not turn for relief to these new quarters where it can regulate prices and supply. ee Quite irrespective of how they started or who instiguted them, school riots in this city have becdtae'a scandal and a disgrace. ‘The troublé could not have gone so far without deliberate, * shameless encouragement from parents. It is upon parents and elders that the first discipline should fall.

When I tell her that decent young fellows are making a great mistake In following a trick of bad men, she says that I am old-fashioned and do not understand the young people of to-day. “Pray for her," T said, something else too.” Just as I had anticipated, Jean's mother did nothing to instruct her daughter, Sho told the girl that She must never allow an unknown young man to speak to her, but that was all. The result, as it afterward was shown, was that Jean began to de- ceive her mother, She would say that she was going to study her les- sons at the house of a girl friend, when in reality she and that girl were arranging to go to the theatre with a couple of men whom they had met.

One lad has brought forth a toy aeroplane that will fly @ distance”of one mile under its own power, This is made in the form of a triangle about four feet long, with the propel- lers at the larger end, The frame consists of small bamboo revda, cov- ered with rice paper, the planes being arranged on much the same principle | as those of a large flying machine, The real problem was the motor, ‘This boy bit upon an idea Wat whe Ingenious to the point of inspiration, ‘To the propellers he attached strips of rubber, fastened at the opposite end of the frame, and tightly wound, When the little plane jw released and the rubber strips begin to unwind, they set the propellers working and away goes ‘the plane, ‘That such a device 1s wholly practle cal may be easily proved by a moe & ment’s experiment with a rubber band.
