Tragedy

For the third time within as many years, the world has been appalled by a terrible disaster on the sea. The account of how almost a thousand souls, the majority of whom were women, were smothered in the deep without a moment's warning, has driven like an infernal plow-share through the little plans and hopes that make our daily round. How our gala affairs, our picnics and speedway races, our proud institutions, our vain-glorious civilization itself seemed to shrivel into nothingness in the presence of this brief unveiling of the awful depths of the mystery by which we are surrounded ! The whole scheme of nature which presents so fair a face is apparently as indifferent to us as to the dust under our feet. She rolls her Juggernaut over good and bad, innocence and sin, as remorselessly as a locomotive rolls over an in

sect. If we are but a cog bound in her mechanism with our lives exhausted forever between the cradle and grave, we are, as the apostle said long ago, "Of all men most miserable" and there can be no hope in us. If Nature is our sole mother, we are in the predicament of the babe in the fairy tale which suckled at the dragon's breast. That which through an indifferent accident brought us into existence will in due time as indifferently crush us against the wall. But after all, these catastrophies have occurred and recurred since the beginning of time yet laughter has not died in the human heart nor hope in the human soul. May nothat fact in itself possess more meaning than all the horrors of the sea or on the land? May it not mean that we are conscious in the deeps of us (which are deeper than the depths of the sea) that we are cast in an heroic mold and destined to live not the

For Riverdale Boys and Girls The average "bad boy" is not a boy who is bad but a boy who is active. Living in a city, he has no fields to romp in, or hay-mows to play circus in, so he is obliged to become a "street gamin" or "alley brat." These descriptive epithets are not necessarily disgraceful to the boy but they are very disgraceful to the boy's community which, in organizing itself, forgot it was ever to contain any boys. A number of clear-eyed men and women of Riverdale have spent a deal of thought about these boys, not because they are bad, but because they are boys. Feeling it is time to atone for the sin of driving them to the streets, they now propose to lead them to the schools. For this purpose, they have requested of the school board that it hire a few teachers during ten weeks of the coming summer to supervise activities. And they expect that the people who feel under obligation to the children of Riverdale will give a

but pilgrims on it ? secure amid perils because we are tenoned in eternity? hopeful in disaster, because disaster itself is but an incident in the endlessness of our existence?

The plea "Help the Palladium Swat the Fly" received a royal response from Richmond citizens and 3.000 fly swatters have been distributed free to Richmondites to be the machines

which are contemplated to extermi

nate all of the deadly pest which dare

enter the homes in which the fly swat

ters have gone. The Palladium has now placed fly swatters in sixty per cent of the homes of Richmond. If the house flies bear out their names of "house" flies and fly in the houses, it is believed not one fly will exist in time. Swat one fly early and get rid of 12,500, 000,000,000 at the end of a season, are the statistics handed out by fly statisticians. At this rate, with the few million flies Richmond saved over from last year to open up this year's crop with, a mass of figures presents itself which is appalling. A favorite diversion which threatens to take the place of the afternoon nap, is new seizing Richmond housewives. Sitting on the front porch with a fly swatter in their hands, they swat flies carefully keeping record each day of the number swatted and comparing their reports at the end of each week. As practice makes efficient the

clear-eyed men and women expect to arrange to care for the babies of the mothers of Riverdale who have to work during the mornings. Mothers who can afford to hire their own work done propose to take care of the children of the mothers who are forced to hire themselves out to do other women's work, which is just the kind of thing mothers have been doing since the world began. This would in no sense be making Riverdale an object of charity. Other sections are not wanting to do it for Riverdale: Riverdale is
