SUGAR PROFITS. Thf following statement from an unusually frank trokrrase f.rrrt, regarding sugar rccuritio, is receiving deserved publicity: "Much as the fact Ir to bo regretted from thf standpoint of the ultimate consumer, the producer holds the whip hand and proposes to make) the most of his opportunity. Today it is n. poorly handled company that is not earning $10 to $23 a har (par value $100). and there are1 somo that will net $100 and over on their ftock. Present dividend raymentr. are no criterion, sine yharehoMrrs ar. certain to recrlve Iarna cash, if not stock dividends. M This sheds light on the presort price of .sugar, and still more light on the ominous prophesies of higher pricea emanating. Those who start those prophecies circulating are in position to make them como true unless the government f?ets busy. It la no life now thedding tears over the falhiro of conirrftss to authorize the purchase of the Cuban sugar crop when It could have been gotten for sever, cents a found Instead of 17 cents. Surely though, something can be done to keep Importers and refiners from making sücn hucv profits as the statement quoted indicates, at the expense of the conEurr.rr. The- canning season Is proinf: to be a sad time if the speculation and profiteering continue uncurbed.

CITIZENSHIP QUESTIONS. A clasi of aliens preparing for citizenship was asked the following questions: "What is the constitution of the United States? "When and where wan the constitution adopted? "What was the first amendment to the constitution? ITow many amendments has the constitution? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? How many voters In the electoral college? It might be amusing to propound these questions to almost any company of born-and-bred American citizens. How many could answer them correctly? Americans probably will have to brush up their own knowledge if they are to keep up with thcfec tarnest, eager students who are crowding the Americanization classes. And. after all the framework of xact information has been absorbed, neither alien nor native will be a good citizen unless ho has absorbed the spirit of America with the letter of her laws. Unless we can teach the alien to lovt America at the same time that we teach him the cold fact3 of her history, he will be as far from true Americanization as if h hafl never learned a line He will only be loyally American insofar us he loves America. Some knowledge of the history and fundamental laws is essential to all pood citizenship, but Lov l.i the fulfilling of the law."

AN INDUSTRIAL MILITIA. A humorous letter to the New York Times tells how the Inhabitants of "the very sensible republic of Knubor.ia" meet the dillicultlos arising from the interruption of public service due to strikes. According to the letter, the- citizens of Knubonla have formed themselves Into an industrial militia, its) members subject to call when needed. Its personnel is drawn from among the patriotic young men of the various cities, and they meet every week for drill and Instruction. They are divided into companies according to their aptitude for different kinds of service. The letter uys: "For instance, the company of milk wagon drivers is composed partly of early risers by a natural (If perverted) inclination, und partly of what might b called late bedd rs, who enjoy passing directly from some scne of hilarity to pacing milk bottles, in the grey dawn, the servie to innocent babes perhaps living consciences a little on the raw. The motor divisions are always over-manned, while cynics and disappointed lovers take on the garbage collection, as a Ftrcnff counter-irriLar.t to their afflictions. Subwuy and street car service Is especially agreeable because of the obvious social advantages. "At the beglr.nmg of a strike these industrial militiamen spring to take the places of the strikers. Under this treatment strikes are infrequent. When a wage contract expires, the men are willing to submit their case to arbitration by U beard on which they hive one-third representation. KOvernment on-third. rrprefentlr.g tho interests of all tne people, and capital, one-third They usually accept the award offered them In a manly way. Wages, of course, are based on the cost of living with a fair surplus for savings ar.d luxuries. Happy Knuboniar.s!" Mostly snrcrurtic and the rest cheerfully Miotic? Perhaps so, but nevertheless containing a seed of wisdom. Is some such industrial militia wholly impossible, or entirely a bad Idea, during this transitional rerlod while strikers are learning the folly of Btrikes, and employers and the public are learning to be fair to labor?

BOOKS FOR THE SICK. Merf hospital pati r.ts could read books than aro at prcser. allowed to do so. All that is necessary H to have some ti.e in charge of the looks who know not tnl the character of the volumes to

l o read but also the condition of the patients who will read them. A St. Iouls hospital which has both a library and a librarian recently asked the public library for a list of books suitable for hospital use. A list of '00 books, classified according to purpose In view, was then compiled. The first purpose of hospital reading is the simple one of relieving the tedium cf convale5cence. I'or this purpose Action, Including short stories, novels, detective and mystery stories are chiefly demanded. P.ut the weak or nervous patier.t. who Is frequently not allowed to read at all, might be furnished less thrilling books which would take him out of himself without unduly exciting him. There is one class of patients whose convalescent period offers the first opportunity perhaps in years for reading books of educational value that they have always wanted to read, but never happened to have the time for. Kssays, biographies, books of travel, poetry and. In fact, the whole wide field of literature may be of use here. In selecting volumes for hospital use particular care should be taken to have books which are easily handled, light, comfortable to hold, with good-sized, plain type and dull finished paper. If it Is not possible for the hospital to have a library of its own, the local public library should hold itself ready for this service, and a special librarian might be appointed who would devote her full time to cooperation with the hospital. Wisely selected books, wUoly applied, would no doubt prove very effective aids to the healing work of doctor, nurse and medicine. The same considerations apply, of course, to home patients.

MUST SETTLE DOWN. The word served on Germany that no revolutionary government In that country which refuses to carry out the treaty provisions will be recognized is dictated by common sense. Xot only is it right, but it has been demonstrated that the German leaders who have- been declaring that the people cannot be brought to submit to the terms are blufllr.g. What is keeping the Germans from settling down is th plotting of the Junker clenTTht. The people of the district entered recently by France were less tli.-tu rbed over French occupation than they were over some of the military move-men!.-; at home. A strong stand by the allies at thi juncture is of service to the German people against those at home, who, by holding out false hopes to them, could only make their condition worse. It is time to impress upon the Germans generally that thr peace terms' must be obeyed. A vacillating policy is a breeder of unrest. It is the vacillation of America, under the leadership of the United States senate, failing to ratify the Versailles treaty and join the Ieague of Nations, that much as anything has given us unrest here in America, just as it has affected the rest of the world Germany included. A solid constructive front and the allies would today have the world's reconstruction pretty well under way with German chestine?3 a minus quantity.

CUSTOMS RECORD BROKEN. An interesting commentary on the progress ot events is supplied by the fact that customs receipts at the port of New York in the month of March established a new monthly record. Collector Newton j:avo the total of collections for the month as ?22, 2 81.S7S. The previous high record was made in March, 1910, wh?n the sum of $21,0SS,Ü21 wa3 collected. The two interesting features of the report lie ir the fact that most of the dutiable goods reaching New York in that month were classed as luxuries. This not only shows the American people are buying freely abroad, but they are spending much money, for articles which they really could do without If they were short of cash. On the other hand, it shows a decided improvement in affairs abroad. In the matter of production. European countries which supplied these luxuries must be making them on a large scale or they could not break the American impott record by selling them to us. It Is safe to venture the 'statement that Europe Is rehabilitating Itself and recovering from the effects of the war much more rapidly than was thought possible a year ago.

Attacks upon Atty. Gen. Palmer for his war against the reds who tried to stab our hoys in the back during the war will not make a hit with American veterans.

In order to be consistent, every man who wean? overalls to reduce the price of clothing should welcome a like action on the part c the public directed against whatever he sells.

"Where are the pug dogs of a few years past?" someone Inquires. A'as! Their barks have gone down in the sea of time.

It would help to bring down prices if a lot of politicians were to quit talking and go to work.

The main facts, however, are quite simple. The bonds are Rding lower because people keep on selling them, dumping them on the market a little faster than the market demands them. Such a process will force down the market price of anything. The owners sell them partly because they want the money for something else, and partly because a good many of them have become persuaded that the bonds are a rather poor Investment, That is where the owners are foolish. Flvery sale implies two parties the seller and the buyer. Somebody is buying every bond that is sold. Who are the sellers, and who are the buyers? Brokers say that the sellers are mostly the poor or the moderately well-to-do. and the buyers aro mostly the rich. The bonds are sold in small quantities and bought up. directly or Indirectly, in large quantities. Now, who knoAs most about finance the pool or the rich?

Andy next attempted to pet his friend John, finally succeeding. "Hello John, tbis is Andy." he said. "'How's the family and the old car working?" "Th1 car's got the toothache, and the wife has som -thing wrong with her transmission. What tan I do for you? I'm pretty busy today as I am hiving to do the house work." "I just wanted to know If you were coing to attend the ITlks' stag." replied Andy, a little lamely. "Sure, I'm coin it .to attend. II 1 I'm going to take ticket-:." "All right. So long," .-aid Andy.

After 20 minutes of quarreling with central, Andy finally succeeded In getting his first party. It proved to be a near-brewery. The janitor, who answered the phone, the balarice of the help being away for the day, misunderstood Andy' conversation and prepared to send up a case of one-half of one percent. Andy finally hung up disgustedly, indulging in some slang words he had picked up from-an evangelist. Another five minutes' delay, and Andy finally got a rise at the other end of the wire. "Hello lid, is this you, Ed?" shouted Andy, all excited over tinally getting a party on the other end of rho wire. "Nice day today, Ed," said Andy continuing to shout, still excited over locating a friend. IM replied that he was also similarly pleased with the weather. There was a long silence. "How's the bus working, Ed?" asked Andy, registering anxiety. "I sold the old tub yesterday. Gas lias gotten too durned high." "All right, so long." said Andy, leaving Ed at the other end of the

AXUV sl'll.xr UtK i VV CALLING A ih;yisi:i i92o list or automobile OAVM1HS. All through the beautiful Sunday. Andy continued to call people, who he knew to possess automobiles, including and above the grade of Ford. At every hand, he met up with reverses of one kind or another. Dinner was forgotten and finally, just about the time he was ready to fall asleep at the phone from she -r fatigue, his wife plodded wearily up the stairs. "What luck?" roared Andy reviving himself with an effort. "No chance. No chance " wailed the business manager. "I only succeeded In getting one party all the time I was down there, and this one proved to be the wron number. "Why, what made you think it was the wrong number. Pet?" Andy inquired. "Well I understood I had the right number and asked them how their car was working, just like you told me to ask them, and they said. 'What should we send the hook and ladder and chemical wagon or the whole elepartment. I guess 1 must have got the fire department!"

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

NOT SO SOn AS IT SSKKMS. I never eat my heart out when the market goes to pot, One doesn't worry over stocks and bonds he hasn't got. No broker ever calls me up to make me come across, And margin my securities against a total loss. This business care quite wears the hair off persons in tho street. And though it drives them to despair, my rest is bland and sweet. I haven't any real estate in any part of town, And so I shant be troubled if they cut the rentals down. No Janitors demand more pay; no angry tenants write That they have mailed me, postage paid, 10 pounds of dynamite. No woe I'll know, If rents go low, in 1923, I haven't any houses, so It will not worry me. I haven't any limousine, and therefore no chauffeur To get locked up when accidents, to other folks occur. The soaring price of gasoline does not give me the chills. The folks that own the costly cars have got to pay the bills. Garage men can affright no man with nothing to repair, And as I haven't got a car, I never turn a hair. I do not drink, and so. because the booze supply Is short. I do not need to purchase it at 2 0 bones a quart. The rich are troubled half to death with worries I know not. And I have not the slightest cause to envy them their lot. I have no cares that millionaires have got to make them said; I have no prominent affairs but how I wish I had. (Copyright. 1020.)

Many feminine names In Greece were merely men's names with a feminine termination in 'a or 'e irrespective of their meaning, and this Is true of Sora, which, quaintly enough, signifies, maiden. However she is derived. Cora Is the most feminine of names and was given to some of the most alluring heroines of romance. Originally the name was taken from Persephone's title. "Kore," a maiden, the J'.oetian poetess who won a wreath of victory at Thebes. Corinna was the next step in the evolution of Cora and she came about through the literary habit of reviving old Greek names, a fetish with enterprising writers in search of a fresh title for a heroine. Madame ele Stael named her brilliant Corinna afte r the Uoetian poetess, above-mentioned, and that established her fame forever In France where she has been handed down from one French maid to "another through generations of poetic fancy! In Italy, she becomes Corinne through tho "Henghist," a chronicle of the Middle Ages. Lord Hyron makes her Cora in his famous poem and through him her vogue is unquestionably established in England and America. Modern writers favor her. both as Corinna and Cora. She is the captivating capricious heroine of many a modern story, the most memorable e-xaniple perhaps being the Cor?, of Hooth Tarkington's took "The Flirt." Poets have never neglected her, especially the poets of the pastoral age. Her significance and the youthful charm invariably associated with her through her evolution, made her almost a synonym for rur

al maiden, just as Sylvia is a generic I term for shepherdness. "When my I Corinna goes a-Maying" is one of

the most charming lyrics of that age and familiar to all. Cora's je wel Is the diamond, which promises her protection from elan ger. Saturday Is her lucky day and :i her lucky number. The daisy, signifying innocence is the flower assigned to her. (Copyright. ir2 0.) WARNING TO
