Ill UP TO CORTELYOU APPAltENTLY the Civil Service investi gation of police irregularities in tho Fourth Word lias collapsed. It did not actually begin. Mayor Moore plainly desires a clean police force. How many people In his Adminis tration share that desire? The lid was lifted, for a minute anil then clapped down hard. The evidence disclosed was enough to prove that the heeler are rivaling Director Cortelyou and the Mayor for control of tho Police Bureau. The Director, who has had secret police 'working for some purpose, ought now to take the lead in forcing a show-down. He should not be willing to remain passive under the charges and innuendo aimed at his adminis tration of the department. He can perform no more valuable service to his chief nnd the city than to force a bouseclcaning which will destroy all doubts and restore complete public confidence in the police force from the top to the bottom. WE LOSE AT GOLF GOLF to some people Is as many anxious clergjm.cn know tho engendcrer of an almost religious passion. To these zealots on one hand and to the folk who desire to see America first in all things good, the gradual and complete elimi nation of American contestants from the in ternational tournament at Hoylake, Eng land, will mean grief and pain. Ono by one they fell ! But why worry? Golf, after all, is a Britisher's game. When an all-British team of ball players loafs over here and trims an American nine com posed of our best we shall have reason to feel that we arc slipping backward in the march of civilization. THE GOVERNOR APOLOGIZES GOVERNOR 8PROUL has signed the Daix Municipal Court judgeship bill with an apology. The bill fixes a time for the election of extra judges of the court as the population of the city increases. According to the figures of the last census, there should be one more judge on the bench. Governor Sproul refused to make the appointment pending election, on the ground that there nre al ready judges enough to do the business of the court. His reasoning was sound. There is no excuse for another judge save the desire for more patronage. It was this desire that prompted the drafting of the Daix bill. Under It a new judge will be nominated at the September primaries and elected In November for the term of ten years from January 1 The Governor explains thnl he has signed tho bill "for the reason that If an additional Judge Is to he nominated and elected there should be no doubt as to the legality of his tenure." He allows it to be inferred that the bill merely corrects a defect in the original law. The Governor may be technically correct. But the effect of the bill is to create nn extra judge and to burden the taxpayers with the payment of his salary and the salary of his clerks nnd stenographers, on the number of which there is no limit save the discretion of Presiding Judge Browu. TRADE AND PEACE THOSE nervous persons who stay uwakp o' nights dreading a war between tho United States and Jnpan might allay their fears If they would read and digest some of the figures contained in the Financial and Economic Annual of Japan for 1020, which has just arrived in this country. This annual shows that the United States is Japan's best customer. The total ox ports to this country In 101!) were worth 5114.000.00O. All Europe bought only Sf)7,000,000 worth nf goods from Jnpan iu tho same year, and the total purchases of all Asia amounted to only fOO.000,000 more than the purchases of the Utiited States. Japan bought from this country in 1011) goods worth flS.1,000,000, leaving a balnnce in her favor of $31. 000,000 She bought from Europe only $81,000,000 worth of goods and from Asia $.Y!2,000.000 worth The purchuses from China were $101,000,000 and the sales to China were $22.1,000,000 worth. The Japanese are not fools. Nothing that they could snin from a wnr with the United States would be worth the price which they would havp to pay for it In Interruption of trade and loss of markets, to say nothing of certain defeat. A RETURN TO SANITY THE decision of Postmaster General Hajs to admit tho Liberator, a radical monthly magazine, to the privileges of the second class mails enjojed b publications which are not radical marks n most gratifying aban donment of the policy of censorship followed by his predecessor Mr. Burleson did not like tho Liberator, but he could find no reason for suppressing it, so he admitted it to the third-class mails and thus compelled it to pay a much higher ratp of postage than was charged on publi cations of which ho approved. Mr. Hays with unassailable logic siijh that if tho publication is mnllahlo at all it it mailable on the same terms as are enjoyed by other publications, and that if it is not mailable it should not be admitted to the mnlls at a punltivp rate. Every one of the extreme radical periodicals, bo says, should cither be suppressed or should receive the same moiling rights as other publications. The Postmaster General properly an nounces, however, that tho Department of Justice will handle the legal phases of the matter. If any periodical abuses the right of free speech It v. Ill be punished In accord ance with the provisions-of law; the Post office Department will not set itself up as a judge of the matter, It will enforce the .decrees of t)0 courts, iix ' iThls is the right method of procedure in S ViUt" tree couimji. r.j.w""' ; .............. vM the attempt to forOe men to abaudon their It . .. ....

Tho return to sanity In the Postofficc De partment will be welcomed heartily by all men who arc convinced that American In stitutions arc too firmly rooted to be over turned by the attacks of half-educated men with fantastic theories of government. WHY DOES THIS GREAT PORT NOT GET FULL RECOGNITION? rT" Slflnal Maritime Eminence of Philadel phia as Second In America War rants Better Appreciation at the Hands of Its Own Peoplo MENTALLY, physically, atmospherically, Philadelphia N by far the worst dressed of the world's great seaports. There, moreover, are outsiders and even n considerable number of natives who readily succumb to the fallacy that it Is not a matter of toggery alone, but of actual In hibitions nnd unfitness for the role. These croakers can prove geographically that Pennsylvania is an inland State and its metropolis nn inland town. Certnlnly the custom largely prevails of embarking for Europe from a New York dock and boarding n train for a fifty-odd-mile journey to in hale sea breezes. Few poets have sung Philadelphia In nautical terms. The Industrial flavor Is significantly to bo smacked here, but mari time nunnces sre elusive, baffling. Cllmnto and scenery ore continental. Gulls, white or gray of wing, are compara tively rare on Delaware avenue. Sight seers regularly shun the harbor front. Not Infrequently they are unaware of Its ex istence. The consequence of these conditions Is one of the most singular and flagrant of fallacies. It is a paradox to which emphasis Is given by the demonstrable fact that this city has become the second seaport In the Republic and that regular maritime com munication Is established between our docks and virtually nil the leading commercial harbors of the globe. Statistics and tabulated columns are re puted tiresome, nnd so In many Instances they are. Yet there Is the glow of romance and color in tho mere enumeration of the overseas links which bind this "inland" population center to the world's great mar kets. The muster roll as presented In the cur rent issue of the local trades bodies' maga zine, Commerce and Industry, Includes not only such expected names as Liverpool, London, Manchester nnd Naples, but Bar celona, Bombay, Dakar, Cape Town, Valen cia, Yokohama, Batavla and Helsingfors. There are, indeed, at the present moment seventy-one terminal ports to which sched uled steamship services are maintained from this city. Foreign shipping concerns have frankly admitted that the cost of handling their vessels hero was far below that Involved in traffic with London, Liverpool, New York, New Orleans or Galveston, This does not mean thnt conditions arc ideal, since drydock facilities in particular are sadly lacking, nnd there is a psychological handi cap in the long-continued under-realization of our natural advantages. Nevertheless, the expansion of Philadel phia's sea-borne commerce since the war injected new life Into the American mer chant marine has been little short of phe nomenal. The value of last year's imports nmounted to $210.107,001 . nnd that of the exports to $ 140,001 ,70,r). Consideration of these figures with ship tonnage totals amply justifies the claim of Philadelphia's second rank among seaports of the United States, with New York, but New York only, in the lead. But the interchange of goods to and from abroad docs not tell the complete story. The opening of the Panama Canal and the ac tivities of the Shipping Board have produced an entirely new commercial development, strikingly evidenced in the hervlccs- now conducted to the Pacific slope. Six lines of commerce carriers nre now established with Los Angeles (San Pedro), and a like num ber with Portland, Oregon, and Han Diego, California. The coastwise trade along the eastern seaboard is accepted somewhat as a conven tion, but Its recent growth warrants some thing more than this cursory cataloguing. The volume of business transacted Is im pressively large. Interpretation of these facts In a spirit of hoastf ulness would, under ordinary con ditions, reflect unfavorably upon true pro gress. Flamboyant advertising may be tem porarily effective, but In the end facts per sist in governing a situation, and there are few exhibits more lamentable than displays of unjustified grandiloquence In Philadelphia, however, modes- re garding maritime distinction has sometimes assumed the aspect of the humility that is born of ignorance. A barrage of miscon ceptions not only deprives one of the most advantageously situated of seaports of gen eral and justified recognition, but it griev ously interferes with brood constructive de velopment. Ah the mothnr of ships the Delawnre has at last received it due. No amount of prejudice or delusion can controvert the truth connected with the superb rebirth of shipbuilding along this waterway. The splendid Pacific liner Keystone State is today on her trial trip through the Capes and beyond. She is but one of sixteen handsome Shipping Board passenger vessels lately constructed across the river In re sponse to the largest order for vessels of this class ever given to nn American ship yard. The New York Shipbuilding Company, on whose ways she was created. Is but one of numerous similar concerns which within the last few years have been restoring the glories of the American merchant marine. In this connection, however, it is permis sible to pause upon tne signincance or a name. To the uninitiated "New York" does not Blgnify the great Philadelphia dis trict of shipmaking and ship traffic. ThiH is but one of many instances of defective dressing. As a seaport the robes which Philadelphia and the surrounding region should be proud to wear are both glittering and authentic. They have hidden far too long In our municipal wardrobe. BORAH'S BIG LITTLE THING WHATEVER you may think of Senator Borah of his perversity, his loud un reason and his violent ingenuousness in the presence of every International problem of any importance it is necessary now to ex tend to him a word or two of credit. Ills amendment to the Naval Appropria tions Bill, in which the Senate formally ex presses n desire that the President call for an international conferenro to halt new naval competitions, is in its way a small thing. The measure tpon, which It Is a rider expresses in realistic and unmistakable terms the determination of Congress to continue I tho policy of naval expansion Inaugurated by I Secretary Daulejs unjll it is plain that that wvwftm' fetJjFia to ex-- I Policy may bo abandoned without .wfrtif IT ch at- this country in danger or uncertainty. , But Mr. Borah and bis colleagues in tho Senate, by formally expressing a wish for the Inauguration of nn International pro gram of disarmament, havo raised an Issue about which the distressed and overburdened peoples of all civilized countries may rally before very long. The Senate of the tfnlted States desires to end naval rivalries and to open a way for intornattonal discussions to that end. That is news that cannot bo read in Europe and Asia without interest. Ultimately, Mr. Harding will call the con ference suggested in tho Senate yesterday and unanimously advocated by the repre sentatives on both sides of tho chamber. First, however, events abroad will have to be permitted to develop to u point at which a clearer view of the future will be possible from Washington. Meanwhile, military men and oven nmo tcura in the science of war will not bo dis posed to take Mr. Borah very seriously. Why, for example, is the invitation to n disarmament couferencc limited to the three Governments that rank first in naval power? Does Senator Borah suppose that wars of the future will be fought with ships nlono? The gentleman from Idaho should travel abroad and he should stop 6ft for a tour of the Ruhr Valley, where forces of destruction that yet may be turned loose upon the world are still deeply rooted and Intrenched. No naval pact, even though it were uni versally agreed to, could prevent wars of a sort thnt muy yet change the whole face of the earth. Indeed, a powerful association of nnvies might prove to be the only force adequate to prevent international conflicts in which the implements of destruction would be more terrible than nny yet dreamed of by naval designers. If nn international conference ever ,is called to the work of preventing war, it will waste its time nnd actually mislead public opinion if it does not find n way to limit the armament of tho nir and chemical war methods upon which the militarist of today actually depends for conquest of the world of tomorrow. PAYMENT OF LIBERTY BONDS HOLDERS of bonds of the Third and Fifth Liberty Loans will bo Intensely Interested In the announcement by Secretary Mellon thnt the loans to the Allies, ap proximating $10,000,000,000, arc to be put into such shape thnt the loans can be uael to take up the Liberty Bonds, The Fifth loan of $4,497,818,750 ma tures In 1023 and the Third loan of $4, 175,050,050 will be due five years later, In 1028. The total of the two loans Is within half n billion of the amount owed to the United States by Great Britain, Franco, Italy nnd Belgium. Secretary Mellon has explained that no plan has yet been perfected for the exchange of the bonds of the foreign countries for tho Liberty Bonds. But he agrees with Presi dent Harding that It is desirable to make the foreign Governments the debtors of the prlvntc oitlrens of this country rather than the debtors of the American Government. If the Secretary of the Treasury can find a way to take care of the payment of $4, 407,000,000 of the Fifth Liberty Loan, which matures In two yenrs, by some ma nipulation of the European obligations ho will qualify as a financier of the first rank. The loan maturing in 1023 will have to be refunded In some wny. It Is not practicable to pay it out of the current revenues. Tho people would not submit to the heavy taxes which would be necessary. And there are few persons who would be willing to ex change a bond of the United States, on which interest is regularly paid, for a bond of a foreign Government on which no interest has ct been paid. Of course, many things con happen in twenty-four months. France, Great Brit ain, Belgium nnd Italy mny bo in a condi tion to pay the Interest then. But nt the present time It would be Impossible to sell In this country, at anything like par, $4,000,000,000 of British bonds on which the Interest hns been unpaid, even if they could be sold nt all. The holders of the Liberty Bonds due In 1023 will be curious to know what arrange ments Secrctnry Mellon finally makes to pay them. ARE THEY OUT AGAIN? SAMUEL UNTERMYER, acting ns spe cial voluntary counsel for the Lockwood Committee of the New York Legislature, was In reality counsel for the general public of the United States in the fight ngninst the secret organizations formed to keep the costs of building material close to the sky and to retard the efforts of the general population to find adequate shelter. Because of Mr. Untcrmycr's energy the people have hnd a glimpse behind the scenes. They saw great interlocking combines which first cornered markets nnd then, through secret agreements with unscrupulpus labor leaders, took billions of dollars from the pockets of home builders and tenants every where In the East. Now Mr. Untermyer hns closed the hearings nnd resigned in genuine rage. Though ninny of the accused men nnd corporations were proved guilty of the charges made against them, they were let off with comparatively light fines by Supreme Court Justice Vernon M. Davis. Some of the offenders paid $300. The heaviest penalty Imposed was a fine of $4000 Apparently there Is nothing to prevent a renewal of the orgy of extortion Mr. Untermyer demanded jail sentences and was rebuked mildly by the court. But to impose a fine of $4000 on n profiteering corporation In the building material trade is like putting n fine of $100 on a first-rank bootlegger who finds little difficulty in making n dollar a minute when his business is flourishing. Partly because of the existence of a farm ers' bloc in the United States Senate fear is Rlng-a-Rotind-a. Rosy eipressed that the two-party sjstem is on the way to oblivion. Perhaps. Perhaps not. If the organization within tho two parties meets with nny big share of success, nnd It mny, it will inevitably be followed bj other groups, labor, capital, wet, drv nnd the like; which will simply mean a trans ference of activities from the lobby to the floor. In order to accomplish anything they will hae to combine: with the probable re sult thnt ono set of groups will lino up against another set of groups nnd the two party system will be with us again. Confectioners in con vention In Atlantic City complain thnt Meaning, "Where Do They Sell It?" tney are putting thirty-cent sugar In twenty-cent candy. Where, queries the young man who seeks sweetness for his sweetie, where do they get that stuff? Tho Sennto having Movie Note registered npprovul of disarmament, we may expect (after the House has cut in) a close up of Uncle Sam, John Hull and the Mikado in conference. Though woman has the vote In Ne braska, she is exempt from poll tnx nnd jury duty, can charge bills for necessities to her husband and has other legal privileges denied to men. Without quarreling with nny of these things, It mny not be amiss to point out that, not to put too fine u point on it, equal rights la somewhat of a misnomer. It may be that if money being put into dreadnoughts were put Into mail planes in stead it would give better returns on the Investment und, Incidentally, do more to anfeguard thetountrj ngnlntt foreign aggres sion. ' - ' ' ''TH I AS ONE' WOMAN SEES IT Some Descendant of Old Families," Sensing Their Civic Responsibilities; Are prominent In. Philanthropies Generation After Generation By SARAH D. LOWR1E A CHICAGO woman once remarked of Philadelphia : "If you want to bo fash lonoblo you have to bo philanthropic!" I do not know how true that is, but I suspect the strain of Quaker there Is In many Phlladelphlans has something to do with philanthropy being regarded as part of the busincsa nf life for n great' mnny men nnd women who aro otherwise not specially noted for their piety. 1 sometimes think that to many upon whom the Church has somewhat lost its hold the chance to be philanthropic Is tholr chance to be religious. And by philanthropic I mean connecting themselves, both as donors nnd ns w;orkcrs, with some organization or with many organi zations that are maintained for the benefit of those who lnck sVmc essential of lite. "" ANY ONE who knows his Philadelphia, however, must be aware that, except for certain sectarian philanthropies, what we call church work and church missions, nnd tho philanthropies belonging to beneficial orders Masonic, Odd Fellows, etc. the great and the little .philanthropies of the city, from n dny nursery to Girard College nro controlled nnd arc supported by he gifts' of a limited number of persons. These persons for the most part are the some persons who support and control the great 'civic institutions that arc not regarded ns philanthropies but rather as tho 'city's high marks of culture the Orchestra, tho opera, the art galleries and the art schools, the museums, the University, the medical schools, the scientific societies and tho coun try clubs and athletic clubs, - And In looking down the lists of names for both philanthropies nnd civic tustl-, tutlons it will bo observed that in most in stances family names cantbe trnbssi for sev eral generations, showing that nsense of responsibility for these public benefits is ah strong in the grandsons of the originators as it was in tho charter members. But it is also to ho observed that whereas certain families are notably responsible gen eration nfter generation, thqrc nre others who appear to have had no sense of respon sibility for generation, after generation, either to help by service or by gifts. 'Such families go from shtrt-slcevcs back to shirt sleeves, and begin over again without having taken the initiative either In their city or ward or ward division to better a single con dition beyond their front steps and back gate. After some one else has started a country club they may join It, or, finding the Friday afternoon Orchestra concerts arc the "thing," they may try lor scots ; or, after assuring themselves every one of a certain clique is buying tickets for n Hoover famine fund, they may take a few because seats arc get ting scarce, but as for guaranteeing the Orchestra or initiating the country club or buying more tickets because they nre going begging, that's beyond them ! If wo left it to them there would bo no opcrn. no hos pitals, no museums and no day nurseries, no funds for special emergencies and no art schools, no Glrnrd College, no Whltc-Wil-liams Foundation, nnd the Academy nf Music would havo been torn down for n prcsscd-brick, stucco-faced movie palace and the School of Industrial Art would be razed to the ground for an apartment build ing, while n reservoir would still grace the top of Fnirmount Hill, I HAVE wondered why this is so. On more than ono drive for some blir organi zation like the Y. AV. C. A. or the Seamen's Mission or the Orchestra pension fund I've come face to face with these men nnd women nnd found them agreeable nnd profoundly. Indifferent. They have neither an Inherited nor a personal pride In their city. Beyond paying their taxes und getting their money's worth in schooling for their children, and parks and water and protection, free mu seums, miles of asphalt, proper drainage, good street lighting, reasonable garbage ana ash collections for themselves,, tholr con scious relationship ns to Its welfare ends. A few when faced squarely will plead socialistic principles nnd announce thnt the city Government should provide nil the civic institutions and organizations from the dispensaries to the museums; but if, in order to prove to a city government the prac ticability of a clinic or the crown of glory in a museum, these apostles of the brother hood arc urged to make a great object lesson by the gift of the first clinic or a picture to the museum, they stop talking socialism and murmur something about preferring to take care of their own Indigent relatives which, generally speaking, would be news to the indigent relatives. PERHAPS this all sounds very hard on a lot of good persons who, in turning down the Y. M. C. A., mny have given to the Knights of Columbus, or in not subscribing to the University have cherished the orphan and the widow around the corner through the ward charity. Well, maybe! But the fact remains that nfter nn ex haustive survey of all the charitable insti tutions of this city nnd nn exact tabulation of their gifts and their givers by that great committee of business men aud women, the Welfare icdcratlon of J'liiiadclphia, it transpires thnt out of something more thnn 1,800,000 citizens, the public philanthropies in this town arc supported by about (1000 persons, nnd of these something like 250 persons give one-half the support. IN SPITE of the great mono) drives, the grcnt system of widespread solicitation; in spite of the clever, touching reports, of the very apparent success of the philanthro pies and of the widespread good they have brought: in spite of the anient aud disin terested help of the newspapers and theatres; in spite nf giving being a foundation stone of Christianity and the supposed ottributo of the average American citi7en, the fact Is that nearly half the money given outside the churches to everything, from a fresh -air fund to a hospital is given by 250 persons in Philadelphia, these names appearing again and again on the lists of contiibutors, IT IS high time this burden of support was more evenly distributed; high time that the million or so persons who oto not generous toward their city should begin to have the pleasure and pain of being gener ous, und high time that the hospitals and Institutions thnt are crippled for lack of support should get sufficient support. In Cleveland, where It was found that about 3000 persons were entirely supporting the public philanthropic Institutions of the city, the business men of the town got to gether and formed n Welfare Federation such as Is now formed here, and In one year's time, by their federated efforts and business methods, they multiplied that 3000 by fifteen. , , , What was partly tried out by a committee" during tho war hero hns been put on even better business principles nnd hns the back ing of an even more rcpresentntlvo group of men and women. The idea is that nu ngeney performing a needed service to tho commu nity, such as the Visiting Nurse Society, a hospital, a settlement, etc , mny apply for admission to the federation, nnd bv fulfilling certain conditions have the raising of its budget undertaken by the federation. The federation will go before tho town asking for the support of all tho organiza tions lu Its care, and guaranteeing to the donors that the institutions benefiting shall fulfill the oniigniions wiey nave come into existence to perform. Their general prin ciples are stated as follows: "The objects of the Welfare Federation of Philadelphia nre the promotion, Co-ordination and financial assistance of associations for civic and chnritable work, the cllmlnntlon of waste In effort and expenditure and tho scientific application to social conditions of principles, plans nnd methods npproved by study and cxperleucc; to collect, receive nnd hold money and property, both real and per sonal, by gift or devise, to convert property so received into rash, and to disburse funds held by It In accordance with (he specified oblerts of the organisation."

MATILDE CASTRO On Child-Education Methods EDUCATING a child to make itself a potent factor in a democracy is one' of the most serious problems that the pro gressive school has to solve, in the opinion of Dr. Mntildo Cnstro. professor of educa tion and head of the department of educa tion of Bryn Slnyr College and director- of the Phcbc Anna Thorne Model School for Girls, which is under the direction of the college. "A democracy, the form of government, under vvhloh we live," wild Dr. Castro, "is one of the most difficult in Its requirements of any form of government under which a citizen can function. The problem of the school, particularly tho private school, is to train the child to think nnd net in the wny in which she will be required In adult life. "As the woman is just as seriously a citizen as a man iu these days, nnd must take her plnce in the world of affairs as well as In the home, she must be trnined with the citizenship iden prominently to the fore. "The prime requirement of u citizen Is to think in order to act intelligently and ef fectively. This can only be accomplished by giving her an education instead of a train- inf- Experience nest Teacher "In educating a child so that she may lenrn to think in this wny she enn only be expected to respond properly by thinking in terms of her own experience. It is neces sary that a progressive school furnish its pupils with the experiences upon which they mny bnsc their thinking, nnd to watch their mental processes carefully that this ability may develop. For thnt reason a child should never be told what to do, but always encour aged to do It herself. "Thus, when a school teaches such things as handwork, eurhythmic dancing, music, art and dramatic expression, it Is not with an idea of nddlng to a child's talents, but of giving her a richer neiu ot experience in which to work nnd something to think about. The esthetic subjects, in addition ,to the prnctlcai, also have the value of increasing the child's sense of appreciation, sympathy and understanding. "But after all thev develop of intellectual nnd moral force, resistance, ability to make decisions, to establish standards and yet 'to maintain nn open-minded, reasoning atti tude toward life nre the important objectives of the progressive school. Clean Thinking Necessary "Clean-cut, decisive thinking is the de sired quality to develop in the child as it crows toward adult life. It is Important in nccomplishlng this end that no opportunity be lost in watching mental processes and In developing them. "In a natural nnd easy way, the child should not recite lessons, but express to her schoolmates what she thinks and feels about tho particular subject under discus- r sion. In my experience the child always faces her class nnu ioiks io tuem, noi me tencher. Criticisms, if necessary, aTe then made by her classmates. In this way the child not only learns to think but to get on her feet and express herself to others, ex uetW as she will be called upon to do In adult life. "The same process holds good in the mat ter of discipline. The normal child, with a little guidance, is fully capable of self discipline or of judging her fellow classmate fairly and effectively. "The child taught to work things out for herself becomes blessed with an absence of that self-consciousness that is the banc of existence for many persons. "Good health and a happy disposition are Love Song BEST of sweethearts, dear are you. On jour charms I love to ponder. What the poet says Is true : Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Often have I sung your praise, There Is something sweet about you, Through the winter's chilly days Never, never did I doubt you. It la naught but Truth that speaks Truth flint's flavored with molasses: Naught excels your rosy cheeks ; And your sweetness untight surpasses. Time shall never make you pine Slnce'I've had the luck to meet you. You nre here! And you are mine I StrnwberriFPi Just wach me eat you! u, A. two important factors to be developed In a child that have much' to do with their suc cess, not only in school but In after life.' In a normal child both these attributes enn be preserved and developed, if they are prop erly guided." HUMANISMS By WILLIAM ATIIERTON DU PUY JACK CONNOLLY, who represents the motion -picture industry in Washington, was formerly a newspaperman up in Boston and used to drop nround to the State House every day and chat with Governor Cooljdge. Tho acquaintance became so intimate that Connolly came- to call the governor "Cal." and still uses that manner of address despite his advancement to the Vice Presidency. Because they are such old friends it often happens that Mr. Connolly takes breakfast on n Sunday morning witli Mr. Coolidge. On one such occasion lately the Vice President wns seen to dig into his vest pocket after the meal and produce a pellet, which he thrust into his mouth. Connolly inquired curiously about It and was told that his old friend, long accustomed to abstemious living, had attended so many banquets since coming to Washington that he found his digestion materially impaired. Would Jack join htm in n tablet? Connolly did. Ills digestion tablet experi ence was limited, however, and he thought that the proper procedure was to let tho pellet lie quiescent on the tongue until it melted. He followed his hunch. So It came to pass that be found himself the possessor of quite a mouthful of charcoal. lie should have bolted the tablet. One day, while Btill secretary at tho White House, Joseph P. Tumulty had pjnyed a round of golf with friends nt a course just outside of' town and was hurry ing home in his automobile. With him was Senator Howard Sutherland, of West Vir ginia, and Mr. Ben Miller, a mere private citizen. At one. point repairs were being made on the road and. while it was possible to get through, traffic was being diverted for a long detour by a policeman. This officer stopped Mr. Tumulty's car, not knowing who was Inside. "Officer, come here," said Mr. Tumulty. "Do you not know that this gentleman (In-1 dicatlng Mr. Miller) Is Senator Watson, of Indiana?" V "I beg pardon." said the officer. "You may go through," Secretary Hughes, at the State Depart ment, attempts at all times to give the men who write for the newspapers about those matters which fall in his domain r.n under standing of the situations that arise, that the publjic may get the right slant, but he tries hard to bo diplomatic and to keep the position of the government from being mis construed, Ills manner of treating given situations was exemplified by the answer he gave a reporter who asKed it he knew a certain New York lawyer whose name was mentioned In connection with a State De partment matter. "Yes," he said, "I think it would be cor rect to say that I know the gentleman, I know all New York lawyers, I go to all the meetings of the bar association. In fact, I have come to feel that I know all tho people in tho United States. But, confi dentially nnd betweeu us, I can't at the moment place this man," Not long ago, says Representative John L, Cable, of Ohio, when -lie was back home earning nn honest living as a lawyer, tne judge, heedless of the logic of the arguments of the attorney for the defense, Imposed a sentence of Berritudc upon his client. The sentence was a year and ten days. "I can understand the, sentence of a venr's imprisonment." said the lawyer, "but why the ten daya?" "That," said the judge, "is war tux." The minister was visiting n member of his flock, said Senator Rlchnnl P. Ernst, of Kentucky, and, knowing tlifft there was a child oi similar age n tne family, took along his own little girl. The juvenile hostess was embarrassed to the extent of muteness. She bit her finger and said nothing. Her father urged her to talk"' to tho little girl, speak to her, to say something.' ANYTHING: And be aurcn' tiUously pinched her. Then he spoke, , "Go to hell," she said. ' ' What Do You Know? QUIZ 1. Which Is the Keystone State? 2. Who is the Premier ot Franc7 3.
