but the bort-lble example afforded will restrain ethers from running tho risk of meeting a like fate. But this Caen case Invites tho Inquiry, may not thla man have taken another's life with deliberate purpose to get himself condemned that he might enjoy without discomfort the delicacy he "adored?" Were he sure that life Imprisonment might be the penalty of his crime he might have hesitated to commit it, since an undiatressfui meal of lobster seems to have been hs dearest desire. Perhaps the lobster was only an after thought. But the truth will never be known.

This suggests another improvement that theater audiences might brin-g about with a little co-operation, not to say self-suppression. In a musical show directly behind you there Is always some one who insists on ruuning over the tune which the artist on the stage is singing or playing. No statistics as yet have been complied, yet It would not purprisi the hapless victims of these embryonic artists in the audiences to find that 9 9 out of every hurrire. even if they do know the strain, have not been especial

ent vast public expenditures are greatly reduced." Armaments should be reduced because "the enormous disbursements in the rivalries of armaments manifestly constitute the greater part of the encumbrance upon enterprise and national prosperity." Armaments should be reduced because "avoidable or extravagant expense of this nature is not enly without economic Justification, but there Is a constant menace to the peace of the worl rather than an assurance of Its preservation." President Harding recognizes that there can be no final assurance of ihe peace of the world In the absence of a desire for peace. No International agreement could prevent the forcing of a war on the world, as the Central powers forced the late. war. Ambitious despots will always be dangerous; but the decision of

WHAT IS A DOUGHBOY T What la a doughboy? The civilian public has been cheerfully applying the term to every soldier, regardless of the branch of the service In which he is engaged.

EXECUTION WITHOUT STING. A recrudescence of the controversy between ad'

vacates and opponents of capital punishment may re- As for Its derivation. It has been content with the old suit from an incident reported from Caen, France, explanation that the doughboy Is the flower of the army There a condemned murderer, come to his last mpal. nd let it m at that. But now comes the .Infantry

was shown the customary courtesy of such occasions and invited to indicate what delicacy he would like to eat. Anything he fancied would be provided, he waa told. When he requested lobster done in the American fashion the Jailers demurred, on the ground of the difficulty of complying. The condemned man was insistent that it should be "American lobster or nothing," and for this reason: "I have always adored American lobster, but I have never been able to eat it without suffering from indigestion for hcurs afterward." Thi3 makes a new angle from which to consider the problem of capital punishment. There can be no question about the protection afforded to society through the execution of a murderer, so far as any future activities of that particular person are Concerned. The argument is that not only is due puulshment inflicted

Journal asserting that "while It has become the fashion to call any uniformed Tom, Dick or Harry a doughboy," It la time to realize that the term may be properly applied only to an. Infantryman. On the question of derivation the Officers' Manual gives three explanations, the most accepted Is that In olden times, when infantrymen used to clean their white trimmings with pipe clay, if caught In the rain the whiting wculd run, forming a kind of dough. One thing is certain: Dough Is an ancient and honorable word In the vocabularies of fighting men. Granting that its application Is to infantryman, does anybody know exactly what Is meant by another expression In common use these days: A buck private?
