A railroad crossing watchman at West Cheater, Ia.. hat worn two deep round hole In the brick pavement where he stand duty, by constant tap-, ring "Ith hLs heavy walking tlck during four jears. We think any preaeher In South Rend could use this as & text lor a ermon on "ICa-blt." Hablta are like the tlck tapping the brick. They bore Into your character and finally the little holes become great cavities Into which you fall. o PLAYING. "Wilhelm Hohenzellern, in reported to be wearing again the glittering uniform that he loved to dliplay vrhen he was war-lordlng the. world. Po the last of the autocrats for whom millions died Js playing soldier, Mill feeding- the vanity that wrecked him. It waa the Frenrh philosopher-preacher, TacaJ, who paid: "Vanity is the rrat enemy of man, but thoso whom It hath betrayed never cease to honor it. Such Is the folly of man." o INSTINCT. Many a rarent In 5outh Bend has grieved at a aeemini,' delinquency In the conduct of his or her child. ThcM parents can get comfort from Dr. T. B. TMrch cf Wittenberg collect. lie ways tealhig. and then lying about the thefts, are natural tralta in children. There Is no Inherent sen.se of right and wrong in a child' mind. Parents should hear this In mind nd, following the fuggftion of Dr. IMrch, teach their children not only that ?teallng and lying are wrone, but also that they can't "get away with If." o RECIPE FOR LONGEVITY. Mrs. Maria K. Wllwn of Pittsburg has Juat been relebrating her second birthday beyond the 100 year mark. "I have lived to be the oldest woman in Pntsburg." he declares, "because my conscience rcver bas troubled me and becauee, though I was b ft a widow at 2. I did not marry again." This stems to be a reeip for longevity as excellent as any we have eeen. With nothing to Trouble her conscience and no husband to act a. a pecond conscience, there Ls nc logical reaaon why any widow should not pass the 100 mark. The great entemoloerist Fab re tells In elaborate detail hov among .me nf our best regulated injects the females make it a point to become widows as oon as poseible and then live happily ever after. Yet few of Ufl human.'? live aa logically as the average bee or potato bug. Civilization has created certain dlitractions that lure ua from the narrow jath cf logic and consistency, and not to every lady would it m good to sustain h ptate of widowhood for thre 'e-o.uarterw of a century. A oppo-d to the suprer.lble Pittsburg lady, there i.s the lady reported from Chicago who had four husbands every one a mlllloniire In a few years. Her technique I. to live viriou? y; to another extreme length of year Is the chief desideratum. Why depute about matters of taste? o WHEN DEACONS GO WRONGA man works his way up to a fairly comfortable position in the world, marries, becomea a parent, takes an Interest in church affairs, Is elected nn elder or a deacon, ra middle a, pro? fat and ?rayheaded, and oufht. by all the customary rules, to fall into the errors of sluggishness and inaction TAther than thosa that arise from an rxcees of advsnturoudnew. Then he falls In love with a girl of 18 or 20, and for her sake abandons family, position, and income and runs away. Nothing could be more improbable. Yet thi nrt of thin haprens. not often, but regularly. A .le.ici-n a good but not V perfect risk. Mot bank cash.ers are hf ntt and die poor, and men mlddle-aed family men stick around until they are carried feet Jlrst through the door, yet the exceptions' can be pre-it.td ns certainly as the return of Ifal'.ey's comet. Her ;s a chance for .ome cf our"rea!i.p youn:T novelists One of them rviirht picture the iilw evclutlcn cf deacon, the gradual and almost Imperceptible accumulation of responsibilities, obligations, anl dignities, the unpleasant habits of hl5 wife and children, tb- rvjnd of family o.urre!. the Jealoulf. thf half-concealed and unadmitted hatreds. th horrib'e monotony, the dead, dreary level of nhvays beirr restrained and decent. Then would come th? breaking point the pretty waitress with her friendly ways, the forgetting of bald head and wrinkled face, tb. inexplicable return of a caricature vf the fervor of youth, the more inexplicable Murrender Oif the innocent or hilf inr.ocent cans- of this amazing phenomenon. Such a narrative fordid enough for arybody. It is chuck-full of the gloon;it srt of modern iyrholcg-. Pollyanna ho.- If would sour and grow morb!l under It. The opportunity ourht not to be missed.

mi ATS NOBODY'S BUSINESS. Strang religious ceremonies continue to reach daylight even In th'. enlightened age but then, what ar we to exrect from Mexico? The pendente ect at Ablqulu yes. and it in Nsw Mexico at that. A the at "ry Kes Mrs. AÜ.Iä V. ?i:ns of Albuquen-jue happena to ride into the village In her Ford and aes: a man. etrlpped to the wait, standing In crowd, switching Mmslf until the blued pour down

hi bare back'H' Seating out his rins." a villager explained. To hatten the departure of evil iplritJ. the penitent now and then pau.d to dip hLs pwitch into 5alt water. Your comment probably is: "Why e?nd missionaries to China?" Hut what Mrs. Sim saw in v Mexlcn is worth more than a fleeting and facetiou thought. It again emphasize the contrasting type of people that are living together In jea.ee In thj normou area cf our country. One of the mot unique feature of America U its varied races, its contracting lcrcal cuatoms, it hl con came of different secta and bllefg. If European condltlon and prejudices were repeated in our country, these people of opposite belief and eustorrus would constantly be trying to reform each other with a shotgun. That's why you can hardly live through a day without harlr.r: "Wt-!1, what If he Is? This Is a fre country, is'n't it?" Or: "No, I haven't anything against them personally. It'ft just that TV got a different way cf looking at It. What they do or think Isn't any of my bualnss " That's the real American spirit individual freedom. One reason we pet along io peacefully in the I'nlted State is because our continental territory 1 3.026,789 square miles plenty f elbow room. That gives us) a square mile for every 35 people. Germany had 300 people to the square ml and went to war. Japan proper has 440 people to the aquare mileand makes diplomats loso sleep. These countries may not fight civil wars among themselves, which prove that internal peace is not primarily a matter of non-congestion, but th"ir sardine-packed population in recent years reached the point whero their rulers began looking longingly at other nations' Und, to keep peace at home. x Give Europe a century's recuperation and It'll probably be ready for another war. For Instance. Germans may again be fighting Frenchmen or Russians. Yet if thoso potential and as yet unborn warriors could be transported to America in their early years, the idea of warring against each other would never occur to them, any more than the Germans, Ilusjsians and French now living as peaceful neighbors In the United State are thinking of flying at each other'a throais. Is land-hunger the real cause of world strife, of wars? Or haw we, in our republican form of government, something as yet undefined that holds the key to world peace? o OtherEditorsThanOurs MEXICAN UPRISINGS. ("Washington Star.) Uprisings in Mexico are reported. Gen. This, with 50 men. Is operating here. Gen. That, with 70 men, L operating there. Gen. Tother, with 100 men, U operating yonder. Their purpose is to get together, lay plans for the mustering of a large force, and then sweep things. It is not surprising to hear that Home of the Insurgents were Carranzlstas In Carranza'a day. Men cf that kind hold Obregon responsible for Carranra's downfall. And eo they are eager to pull Obregon down, partly from a desire for revenge and partly from a desire for office for themselves. They -may not at present be formidable. Put their number and power may grow. Mexfto is in that condition which encourages unrest, and makes the restless active. For a full decade revolutions and banditry have flourished in that country, and the srlrit that they disseminate is not eaily or epeedllv laid. Tres't Obregon Is moving against these men. He knows their sort, and how to deal with them. Ho handled Villa successfully when Villa ftock as a bandit was high. 3ut the best move Obregon could make, not only against banditry, but all forms of distrust In Mexico, would be to put himself into full accord with this government and thereby secure th prestige that would accompany such action. For so long as he lacks American recognition he will be regarded by his opponents at home as a promising object of attack. o . Tili: FKMAIili OF Tili: SPKCIKS. (Cincinnati Knquirer.) Mr. Kipling may have been right in his characterization of the deadlines? of the female. Nature furnishes many illustrations of this rtrange ferocity, courled with a remorseless subtlety which defies analysis. A perui of the daily news columns confirms the fact that many women rtspond to the lash of impulse with homicidal fury, or with a cold calculation that seems both remorseless and implacable. A woman In Chicago the other day waa acquitted of murder, although she had admitted the killing of her lover. She slew him in a red rage of Jealousy. Their affair was. a cheap and common liaison. As in most of these cases, she killed him because she loved him! Iay by day the story Is repeated with few variations. The lady killers are tried and acquitted by huceptible juries. Probably the victims of these affairs deserve neither sympathy nor pity, but the law Is the law and it should be upheld. It makes no distinction between the sexes in the matter of murder. The case to which reference here is made Is typical of hundreds of others. She was the 2Sth murderess acquitted in Chicago alone In recent years. Conceding every obligation demanded by chivalry and Inspired by the instinct of the male to protect the female, we etem to have reached a time In the history of crime- in this country when the lady witu the gun should be called upon to pay the penalty for her crime when it is established that it is a crime. If confessed murderess- arc- to be acquitted, as recently has haipened in two notorious cases, then confessed murderer are entitled to equal consideration, or the law Ls a fake. o WIIÜVT PRICKS. ( Indianapolis News.) On May 28 the emergency tariff, with Its 35-cent duty on wheat, became a law. June 1, the eloaln price of July wheat on the Chicago market was J 1.3. Tuoeday the price was $1.17, whilo In Indianapolis the mills and elevators were paying $1.03 for No. 1 red wheat. What are the causes at work, as reported Tuesday to lower the price of wheat? in the market report was the following: Ixwer temperatures northwest, together with rain In various regions, had a bearish effect on the wheat market today. Declines, were checked, however, by assertions from a leading crop expert that as a result cf the hot wave the forthcoming fcovernment crop ri-pcrt would show a reduction of 25,000 000 bushels in the estimated yield, compared with the report. Regardless of a decrease in the visible supply total, absence of demand led to decided further setbacks in the later tracing. ?.t one word, it will be cUvrved, is given to the emergency tariff as having any influence, one way or the other. It is all a matter of heat and cold, rain or lack of it. size of the yield, etc. Since June 1. during all of which time the emergency tariff ha been in operation, the price of wheat In the Chicago market his fallen 21 cents a bushel. Terhaps the duty on wlutt has not had time to make its influence felt. But as it was designed to meet an emergency It certainly. If it is to do any good, ought to operate with exceeding promptness. "Rcgsrdless of a decrease," eo the market report reads. "In the visible supply total, absence of demand led to decided further setbacks in later trading." It seems, therefore, that those may have been right who insisted that what the farmers needed muit of all was the widest pc:ble demand fo. their products. For lack of it prices declined Tuesday. The trouble i due. not to an oversupply, not to excessive Imports, but to an "absence cf demand." It is proposed still further to lessen the demand by building up an enormously hish tariff wall to ohut out imports, and thus make it impossible for foreir.nrs to buy and pay for American wheat. The üuty has not only falle! to increase the price of "vheat. but has been powerless to prevent its fall 2i cents I vlow what it was when wheat was on the fret list.

Editor News-Times: Sir: Allow me a small space in your paper Just to speak a word of truth as to what happens In Greece and as to who is to blame. If we want to find out the person responsible for the present unfortunate position of Greece we must go back as far as 1S97, when Constantlne, who was only a successor to the throne of Greece, never understanding the real position o f Greece compared with that of Turkey, led our country into a disastrous war against the Turks after he he had closed his ears against the voice of the far-seeing Premier Trikoupls. Again, in 1012-'13, when our illustrious statesman Venizelos became prime minister and succeeded In bringing all the Balkan states Into an allegiance against Turkey. Constantlne. disregarding the prime minister's counsel, led the army first against Monastair.neglecting Salonica the most important port of the F.alkans and nearly missing both Monastair and Salonica. because the Serbs occupied the former lx hours before we reached it and the Bulgarians came to Salonica Just a couple of hours after we took it away from the Turks. In 1?15, when the Greeks had a chance to attack the Bulgarians and the Turks, thus relieving our allies, the Serbs, from the sudden attack of Bulgaria and at the ame time giving valuable help to the allies in the Dardanelles, Constantlne. In order to please the Kaiser, who is his wife's brother, set aside the advice of Venizelos. who insisted on attacking the enemy because It was the right time. Then Venizelos. with his followers and with the help of the British and the French, chased the Germanophile King out of Greece, thus giving Greece the right to sit at the Versailles conference as an ally and at the same time sivlng Thrace from remaining a part of Turkey and taking Smyrna out of the greedy hands of Italy. But, unfortunately, a part of the Greek people, technically formvog a majority and never being able to understand Venizelos statesmanship, hrought the Kirc: bark and at the same time brought danger and disaster to our country. The French, as well as the English, let the Greeks know that they would give no help to Greece so long as Cor.stantine was king, so the Turkish nationalists, understanding that the Greeks were without any help other than their own. and having got the moral and probably the military support of the bolshevik!, successfully attacked the Greeks and threatened to occup Smyrna and even Constantinople. Evfin if th Kinr succeeds la throw-

OPEN MUFFLl-TR NUISANCE Editor News-Times: Sir: I would like to make through your valued paper a vigorous protest against the open muffler. We have Jn our city and hospitals hundreds of

sick who are disturbed at the most critical period of their illness by this uncalled-for, outrageous nuisance. I have driven a car for yars, and know that it is not nec essary to make this outlandish noise at all times of day and night. I was compelled to stop a most important business conference until a large truck passed with its muffler wide open. We have a law against this nuisance. Let me suggest that the mere officers be transferred to arresting muffler lawbreakers and speeders who endanger the lives of others. E. W. W.

Editor The Xewa-Timee: It Is high time that definite action Is taken to protect Mishawaka av. and other heavily traveled streets paved with asphalt which have become rutted by heavy trucks. Mishawaka av. has such heavy ruts that it is a constant menace to drivers of automobiles, as once in the ruts it is hard to get out. But the chief concern should be for the Improvement. The citizens of South Bend spent thousands of dollars for that connecting link between South Bend and Mishawaka: and the citizens, heavily burdened with oppressive tae, should have their Interests safeguarded. The press h?s already reported that the board of works has ordered the contractors to view the pavement and consider tho best means of paving the pavement. The time !s past for long consideration as the road dally becomes liable to damage from the heavy trucks and the Immense amount of trafüc that swings over the north side of the river dailv.
