Tell them to bans up the telephone, Mr. Mayor, start new, pick out a clean path and follow it.

MEXICO'S FIRST NEED. Americans commonly make ono of two mistakes Jn JudpinK Mexico. Thf :ir?t is tho assumption that thr Mexican people are capable of responsiveness to the same appeaN that move the averax populace nmonc tho nations with whii h we aro most closely associated. The second is the assumption that all Mexicans :irn ignorant and semi-civilized. The truth lies in both errors, rather than between the two. for there are two Mexico?, the suave, cultured, aristocratic uppercrust and the ;Tirnitivep vicious under.rust. The trouble with Mexico is that it lacks th support of an intelligent, courageous middle class which has ever been the sinew of progressive peoples. More than half of tho inhabitants of Mexico can neither read nor write. They are mostly Indians whoso chief as. t is a c'annNh sense of pride in their nativity. They are content to accept the promises and tho leadership of almost any leader who can prove his possession of a strain of their blood nnd who will assuace their immediate hunger with food and their hazy asriratior.s with promises. ThA millions of ignorant peons are the pawns that have made possible Mexico's b-mr, sordid history of conspiracy nnd resolution. Our southern neighbor will continue to bo torn hy civil strife as loni; as malcontents have this fertile field of pun fodJtr from which to draw. If thff now povernment desires permanence, it will turn Its f.r5t attention, after assuring" present military ilorr.in.ir.co, toward the eradication of bet:al cnorar.c and economic oppression. It will, if it is. wis-, make heroic efforts to uplift the condition of the Irresponsible peon through extension of school?, sanitation and employment. It must be a slow proc -s .ir.d its full fruits cannot be harvsted in a con -oiatun. Hut It is the only certain rath to a better M eic o. 1'ndouMedly. tho new povernment will promise the rofocms th.il kae be n promised time without number. Hut promises are already thread-bare and only perform tr.c- can inspire conr.der.ee either at home or abroad t'arrar.za hurt his cause and his country Irremediably by shuttir.p the tloor to assistance from without. The Obrepon r gime. if it profits by his error. si!l invite the cooperation of friendly tatts In the upbuilding of hi? country socially and economically. Suc h coopo ration Mexico has no reason to fe&r.

The TarlFlar arc only doing new what tho Romans wer doing 2.000 years hzq. Some of their decorations of homo interiors aro still to bo een. with their beauty not much de toriorated. in the museums of Itom" and Naples and in thMr original setting amid tho ruins of ancient Pompeii. The peroral practice was to paint the walls of every room a flat color, always a cheerful color taken from nature sky-blue, grass-frreen, the pold of the summer sun. the oranpe of sunset clouds, etc. Then an artist would paint in the center of every wall, npalnst this color background, a moderatesized picture of something in real life a flying bird, a huntinp scone, a playing child, etc. There wre no hung pictures. The fffect of suh simple and natural decoration is nearly always charminp. lending to interiors a pleasanter atmosphere than i3 likely to be obtained from elaborate, fussy, atuffy modern par er, hangings and furniture. Tt will be fortunate if the Taris mode leads to a general revival of this old Idea, with Puch modification;- as may be required for modern conditions. We shall probably continue hanging our pictures instead of painting them on tho walls. Ta'nted walls have many practical advantages too. If they are done in oil colors, they are washable, and therefore much more durable and cleanly than paper.

The Tower of Babel

By BILL ARMSTRONG

WHERE STUDENTS CAN HELP. Kineo a serious curtailment in food production, with a consequent advance in prices, is threatened by the diortao in farm labor, it la the duty of every patriotic person to do what he can to relieve the situation. The a rVicncy in tho agricultural labor supply is noted everywhere. For the nation tho supply of fa :n labor is given as only 7 2 percent of normal. .Stc'y oi Agriculture Meredith suggests that city men could heir' considerably if they would spond their vacations working on farms. Most of them have only a week or two. however, and would hardly have learned the work and become toughened to it in that brief time. The case of students, who are also invited to help the farmers. Is different. Their vacations last two or three months and come at the very time when hands are most needed. Sixty thousand mon from the outside arc required to harvest the wheat crop In the middle west, beginning In Oklahoma, about Juno 15. If college students showed a disposition to answer the call that number could bo easily recruited. There are at least COO, 000 young men in the colleges and universities, professional and normal schools of tho country, whose school year is now drawing to a close. Ordinarily a large number of them would spend tho Kummer more or less in idleness. Why should they not come to the nation's rescue in the threatened food crisis as they undoubtedly would if war were imminent? The wages which the wheat belt farmers have apreed to pay a minimum of 70 cents an hour, with board and lodging In addition are not to bo disdained, and the experience would bo invaluable for the city-bred men. Every well-rounded education should include some firsthand acquaintance with farming. After spending a year cloistered with books, they could find no healthier way to use their vacations than in manual toil out In the open It is a patriotic service that should receive their consideration.

TESTING ROAD SOILS. Soil-testing as a part of farming is becomlnp a regular practice. Now soil is to be tested for its ability to support loads. 50 that engineers may have the benefit of this information in road construction. The department of agriculture will make wide invevtipations along these lines in the near future, and the resulting information should bo most useful. Manifestly a soil which tends to stand up wen under heavy loads is better for a road foundation than one which shifts easily, or disintegrates rapidly when wet. Some facts alonp this line .already f.ro known broadly, but there is much accurate information still to be obtained. , Tests have begun in Maryland, special attention being given to hiphways which have failed to stand up as they had been expected to do. and to the cause and remedy of such failure. Further investigations will bo made as tho work proves its value. Th relation of subsoil to highway durability is very Important. If these road tests can assure tho location of roads where natural conditions are favorable to . pood wear and permanency, they will be worth all they co?t.

Emma Goldman's regret that she has been barred out of tho United States must be keener when she reflects on how she might have continued dwelling here If the had behaved herself.

WAH TROPHIES. (National Educator.) It is not very long since there was preat rivalry r.MOt.g cities, villages and towns of this country, and other countries, to secure a German cannon or a baby tank or some other relic of the war. At the iMiue ti.ne there has been an increasingly strong fcelinp that the lasting war memorials and the monuments to tho men and women who gave their lives in this war .should bo objects of genuine beauty arid with some public-sfirlted purpose and permanent alue to the community. Now there come? from a small English town a protest against th war trophy which seems to indicate that in that community, at least, the Implement of death and t'.estruction is not regarded as a suit. i1. 'ie object of municipal adornment. The protest was registered against a war-scarred tank which rcc ntly arrived in the town. No doubt some or.e had been using influence to secure a tank thinking that it would be received with great respect and ceremony. Instead, the townspeople sent a petition to the mayor asking him to see thai the tank bo removed. Th.y consider It a'gruesome thing, "a constant reminder of bloodshed." They even go so far as to assert that "the square is completely spoilt by thLs hideous relic of war." Really there is much common sense in thir protest. The war- vase urn or armory is th only 1 lacwhere such 1 lies are siUtable. The public square, the lawn b fore the town hall or the recreation park has nothing in common with tanks, cannon or submarines. Familiarity spoils any object lesson which such relics miuht have, and as ornaments ihey are out of h..rmun with the peaceful scheme of things.

HOW TO RE SUCCESSFUL. (By Our Office Boy.)

THE NAME "WELCH" SEEMS TO HAVE RITEN HUNG ON THE M'KONT. PAKTY. (From tho Kelllher, Minn.. Journal.) I, the used to bo Mrs. Dav Turner, will announce to you, reople of Kelliher, the complete victory I enjoyed over Dave Turner at my divorce trial. He. so to say, got "cold feet" and did not even appear Therefore, from now on, I am Ethel Welch.

Our office boy. after hours of persuasion, finally consented today to give us an exclusive interview, on how to succeed, as follows: RULE ONE Never do today what you can coyly rut off until tomorrow and pet away with it. RULE TWO An employer is a despot of the most fiendish kthd. Treat him as such. Ascertain his first name before you go to work and use it at all times. If before you apply for the position you are unable to get his first name, address him as -Old Kid." Plap him on the back frequently and push him in such a way as to break his cigars whenever possible. RULE THREE Tour absence from the otlice during rush hours is always appreciated. The time to hang around the office is during meal hours and after everyone has went home for the dav. RULE FOUR Avoid reporting for duty before 10 o'clock in the a. m. Arriving before this hour is liable to be misconstrued and arouse suspicion that you are ambitious. Our union positively forbids our showing anv such tendencies. RULE FIVE Never fail to be f.one hours for lunch. This makos j ou keenly arpreciated when you do finally show up. RULE SIX Get all your companions to bang around the office at all times. They are great company for us office boys, and the workers seem to resent the big crowds. Encourage playing and quarreling amongst your mates. I once knew n very prosperous office boy who got into a sham Sattle with filled Ink bottles with his compmions in his ofllco. This office boy in later years turned out to be very uccessful as a bandit.

THE IIOOZE HOUND. I had a quart once on a time An,d knowing it was rather risky In fac a statutory crime To drink, or own, or harbor whisky. When I was worn, or sad. or sore And felt the need of stimulation, I'd wait till dead of night, to pour Myself a moderate libation. And then the bell would always ring, And when I answered, "Well, what is it?" A voice would cry: "It's me old thing I've come to pay a little visit." The voice was Rill's Just passing by He somehow kind of fell to thinking He hardly knew the reason why That I'd need help to do my drinking. I've locked myself inside a room, And feeling quite secure, proceeded To lighten my abounding gloom Ry taking something that I needed Rut always? I' would hear a knock. Insistent and unhesitating. A husky hand would try the lock. And Rill. I knew, was out there waiting. I've heard a scientist declare That scent's the weakest of our senses. The animals can beat us there, Where ours leaves off, the dog's commences. The mot amazing things they tell Of blood-hound, beagle, pointer.

JOY. Joy is one of the "glad" names. It stands alone as an abstract virtue, popu'ar in this I'ollya nna-ish era. Hut it has an interesting etymological history as well. It comes from the Greek "iovai." of which the Latin equivalent is jocus; the French joio: and the English Joy. From Jocus came the Armorican prince. Jodocus, belonging to a family which migrated from Wales. He refused the sovereignty of Rrittany and became a hermit in Ponthieu. where he is now remembered as St. Josse. The feminine of his name, Jodoca, is still popular in Wales.

I England formed from It Jocosa,

which straightway became Joyce. The latter form Is much used In England today as well as in this country, where its contraction is generally Joy, despite the fact that Joy has the right to separate existence. The French Jocelyn is a graceful and musical equivalent adopted by us and in popular usage. The turquoise is Joy's talismanic stone. It is the symbol of prosperity though it is the simplest of stones and has the power to protect its wearer in any venture whether from disease or accident. Tuesday is her lucky day and 1 her lucky number.
