always along a line exactly opposite to the practice of Europe; hence there is nothing this country can say that will be easy listening for

Europe. Yet the United States, following its own advice, is prosperous; while Europe, traveling in the other direction, is not. Perhaps the cynics are right and what Europe means by co-operation is not good advice and moral authority but benevolent acquiescence in Eur-

ope's permanent production of "The Road to

Ruin," with the United States acting as "angel" for the show.

THE ADVICE GIVER The pathetic eagerness with which Europe cads for a little word of helpful advice from e United States is equalled only by the paetic alarm with which Europe receives any tle word that is offered her. The apparent inconsistency will puzzle mericans of the honest type, who are fairly sy with their own affairs and have not had e or impulse to study those of Europe, arcely a week passes but some distinguished representative of the old world begs, with tears his voice for the United States to show a ummy spirit, to extend to Europe the blessing a word or two of sound advice. At least, at is the construction generally placed on the peals for co-operation. It scarcely can be ything else. The people of Europe do not nt to be thought pan-handlers; they can't asking for a hand-out, these proud old races warrior kings with a history of national trips extending back to the days when hector s a pup. They want us to chat with them, in helpful se; to exercise that moral authority which disinterestedness embodies; to be the calm and reatens peril to peace; they want some sound, actical lessons on "how I Made My First Miln." Or do they? Just as soon as the United States takes rope at its word, or words, and hands out a ckage of common sense, Europe goes cold and sumes a tone, sometimes acrimonious, but alys pained. It appears not to be what they nted. There is a silence, with confused mutrings heard in the back-ground. Yet it is the -operation that was sought and as at Lausanne, e very soundest advice this country could e, or to which Europe can listen. Here appears the great obstacle between e United States and Europe in any approach palship. The advice this country gives is

HAPPY DAY Some day a good farmer's wife is going to invite us out for breakfast, and if we can manage to get up before milking time, we are going to accept. Then gathered with that hearty, happy farmer family, we're going to show 'em all what

a real hungry farm boy who has wandered away a little can do to good farm sausage. And we serve notice right now on that anonymous farmer's wife that she'll have to spend all her time in the kitchen, she and the hired girl both, cooking sausage, and more sausage, and a flapjack now and then, and drawing off some more milk from the stone crock in the summer kitchen. She'll rue the day she invited us. But her troubles won't be ended then. After breakfast, we are going to make a determined effort to arise from the table, maple syrup maybe still reminiscently hovering around our lips, and we're going to force that farmer woman to tell us what it is that goes into country sausage that isn't put into the city kind. We have interviewed many of those in the business, but haven't got any satisfaction. There's a tang, a flair, or any other hifalutin' word you can think of, about country sausage, that rests not in any other condiment known to man. We are going to pray with that country sister, and plead and beg, and before we leave we're going to have the secret. Then we're going to get rich making city sausages into country sausage for the benefit of all the starved and repining simpletons who were foolish enough to leave the farm and its sausage in their youth. The argument will be long, but that doesn't matter. If we protract it enough, maybe the farmer's wife will ask us to stay to dinner. And for dinner, well we know it, the piece de resistance, as we say in town, is going to be backbones. Sausage and backbones! The mind cannot conjure a day better spent. THE "100 per cent American" is again becoming active. He is the cheapest form of patriot, for the reason that he is composed of 50 per cent ignorance and 50 per cent nonsense. GREATER conceit has no man that he who imagines he understands a woman.

WAIT A MINUTE (A Philadelphia man hot himself because his girl went back on him.) The world is so full of the wonderful ladies Who smile with the radiance known of the sun; The world is so full of remarkable ladies Who wield all the power of heaven and hades, It's really absurd to go daft about one. If Fate hands the ardent admirer a twister And "she" throws him down with a dull, sick'ning thud, He ought to forget her and so find her sister For sisters she has by the millions, O mister! And each is as charming and pretty a bud. Now, some one has said, and there's quite a lot in it, That women, like trolley cars, keep going by; If one hides her heart so you really can't win it Another will be right along in a minute; You only lose time when you mope and you sigh. So be not discouraged at her farewell letter; Cheer up, saddened swain, there is still hope for thee, The one you went batty about when you met her You're probably lucky that you didn't get her. And there are more girlies than the sands of the sea. BY MALARIA PINCKNEY PLANTAGANET A colored lady in Harlem who thought a judge had pardoning power, approached a magistrate and asked him to pardon her husband, who was serving a long term on the Island. "What did I send him up for?" asked the magistrate. "Fo' stealin' a ham, yo' honor," said the lady. "Did he steal it?" "Oh, yes, he done stole de ham, judge, but that wasn't nothing much." "You don't want me to pardon him," said the magistrate. "Even if I could pardon him and did, he would only make trouble for you again." "Jes' de same, Judge, I does want him out of that place. I needs that man." "Why do you need him?" asked the magistrate, patiently. "Well, yo honor, it's like this: Me and the chillun' needs another ham." A headline informs us that "A water famine alarms Mexico." We wonder why. THAT LADY SHOULD BE SOME SINGER.

WOMEN

JOIN

IRISH ARMY OF

IRREGULARS

By DANIEL O'CONNELL. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE DUBLIN, Dec. 29. Increasing numbers of women are joining the republican irregular army and are fighting in the ranks with rifles and revolvers, according to reports reaching free state military headquarters. Women sympathizers with the republicans they are called "black women" by the free staters have long given the free state trouble. At present they are said to be pledging allegiance to the republican cause in groups of considerable size, inspiring the wavering males to more strenuous exertions. The troubles of the free state are piling up, chiefly as the result of new industrial and transportation problems. A general strike of railway employes is threatened for Sunday as the result of wage cuts of slightly less than. $1 weekly. Ulster has refused to permit the free state to extend its nationalization scheme to railways operating in the northern province. While the republicans are not attempting military operations upon a great scale they are keeping up a

continuous campaign of Guerilla warfare, which is harassing the free state troops greatly, the daily ambushing, sniping and raiding arc embarrassing trade and commerce by interfering with railway transportation.

ROADS SHOW VALUE OF MAINTENANCE

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 29. Stone and gravel roads in the state highway system at this time are in the best condition they have ever been, demonstrating the value of systematic maintenance, according to a bulletin issued today by John D. Williams, director of the state highway commission. Mr. Williams said that reports reaching his office from the various district engineers and superintendents, show that all this mileage is passable, in fact the roads are in excellent shape. The recent snow contained just sufficient moisture that when it melted made the roads respond to dragging. Prior to freezing a few days ago, nearly the entire mileage of secondary roads was dragged and all rough surfaces smoothed. With the thaw, roads were again dragged and now are level, smooth and in as perfect condition as it is possible to make highways of these types. The state road system comprises about 150 miles of earth roads with the greater portion thereof under construction of resurfacing. The highway commission is exerting all speed possible, Mr. Williams says, to resurface this mileage with either stone or gravel and have no

earth types in the system. There are approximately 2,800 miles of secondary types such as stone and gravel, which includes the 150 miles of earth roads in the state highway system. With the purchase of several snow plows in order to combat probable heavy snows, particularly in the northern part of Indiana, the highway department is prepared to keep all main market highways open to traffic this winter regardless of the severity of weather.

NEW METAL SERVES USES OF PLATINUM

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO, Dec. 29. What he declares to be a substitute for platinum, which can be sold at half the

price of gold, has been discovered

by Dr. Clarence W. Balke, of Highland Park, Illinois. Dr. Blake is an expert in metallurgy and for months has been working on the new metal. The metal, Dr. Blake claims, has great acid-resisting properties and takes a, brilliant polish. It has been named "tantalum."
