Mrs. Daisy Bly, said. The school authorities. Deputy Fire Marshal Gaynor, who questioned the lad. and the court all seemed to agree. He left the courtroom catalogued, at least Inferentlally, as an abnormal boy. Jimmie’s defense was this; “I did It ft* revenge. Two other kids were taken back after the three of us had been fired, but I wasn’t, and I wanted to bum up the old school so nobody could go there." “Fair enough," said a sympathetic old ronn who sat in the public section vt the courtroom. "There’s a Tom I Sawyer for you." Driver of Bandit Car Slain.

You fellows need shades." shouted Jacob Hoffman when he caught two husky men carrying the cash register out of his barber shop. The men accepted the invitation, and Hoffman shaved both, talking meanwhile, on the chances men will take to get a few dob I lars. The bandits seemed to have I . a change of heart, for they left ! without the cash register, which contained more than 1100, warning Hoffman to keep quiet. a * *s BOY KILLED BY DOG AS HELPLESS CROWD LOOKS ON Great Dane Grabs Youngster by the Throat and Shakes Him to Death.

Passing Floral park picnic grounds. Joseph espied a cherry tree within the gates. He dropped his cat-tails and swung open the gate. His companions followed. - Two Great Dane dogs leaped from behind bushes. Albert and John pelted them with stones. One sprang at Joseph, knocked him down, and sank its teeth in his throat. The other drove Albert and John from the park. Joseph’s screams brought scores of passersby, but the dog that had routed John and Albert stood guard at the gate aud prevented anyone from going to the youngster’s aid. A doxen men stoned the other dog. but In vain. Nearly 100 persons watched the dog sink its teeth in Joseph’s throat and shake the little body as though it were a bundle of rags. Women hid the sight from Albert and John by clasping them to their breasts as the boys struggled to go to Joseph’s aid. Several women fainted. The dogs finally were driven off, but I Joseph died of a ruptured Jugular ; vein. Aged Man Brooding Over Cat’s Death Ends Life New* York.—Many children mourn i for "Olg Man" Smith, as they called Charles Schmidt, seventy-three years old, ft* nine years day watchman at the Hippodrome’s warehouse. For a long time he bad bought them candy and told them wonderful stories based on the old Hippodrome scenery. Schmidt had no friends, so far as known, except the children in the neighborhood of the warehouse. Formerly he bad a pet cat. Rusty, that wandered In a year ago. He shared his lunches with the cat, which made 1 his rounds with him. The aged watchman had met with many dlsapitolntnients in life, and when a couple of weeks ago Rustychased a mouse to the bottom of the elevator shaft and was killed by a descending freight elevator, “Old Man" Schmidt became despondent. Brooding over his physical and financial misfortunes, and grieving for Rusty, he brought on himself a fate similar to that of the cat. He had ; opened the door of the mime elevator, sent it up, and then crouching beneath It reversed the cable and allowed It to crush fihn to death.

— i Washington Sidelights How America’s Millions Saved Russia

WASHINGTON. — Communism in Russia Is dead and Russia is on the road to recovery, Col. William N. Haskell, who was In charge of American relief administration activities there, declared in a final report to Secretary Herbert Hoover, chairman of the relief body. Not only did American aid, amounting to $60,000,000 during the last two years, save millions of lives in Russia, said Colonel Haskell, but it helped to stimulate Russian recovery and, more valuable than all. spread a lasting inheritance for America In good will of the Slav races. Colonel Haskell's report summarized the two years' work of the relief administration. "During this period," said the re- j port, “a little under a million tons of , food, seed, clothing, and medical supplies have been bought In the United States by the Americnn relief administration, requiring about 250 voyages of American ships. These supplies amounted to 60,000 carloads on the Russian railways. “Their distribution was accomplished through the organization of 35,000 different stations at the worst period when we were feeding nearly 11,000,000 men, women and children dally. Not only would these millions j

Co-operative Movement Gains in Europe

HOUSTON THOMPSON of the federal trade commission, has returned from a three months' visit In Europe, where he applied himself to study of ftie highly organized co-operative marketing societies In operation there. “During my three months 1 survey of the co-operative movement,’’ said ■ Thompson, “I visited the British Isles, Denmark, Sweden, Finland. Esthonla, Latvia. t Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Italy and France. All co-operative societies gave us free access to their books and financial statements, and permitted inspection of their plants. “One thing that greatly Impressed me is that all of these countries are making special efforts to become self supporting and economically Independent. With export and Import tariffs they are giving great encouragement to home Industry. “In states such as Finland. Esthonla, Latvia and Czechoslovakia, where

— “Europe Remains Our Greatest Market”

SECRETARY of Commerce Hoover fears that our trade with Europe is suffering from the newly manifested Intense interest of American manufacturers in expanding business with South America and Asia. * The secretary’s view Is set forth In Commerce Reports, published by the Department of Commerce. It winds up by throwing out a familiar hint that American farmers and other producers of exports to Europe should Interest themselves in the conditions affecting Europe’s capacity to Import. “Europe remains our greatest market. Government officials In close touch with export activities feel that too much attention has been given to the promotion of American foreign trade- with South America and Asiatic countries to the detriment of our trade with Europe. "The emphasis placed on exports to non-European fields, which Is out.of proportion to the actual volume of business done there, can. however, be explained. It does not lie only In the

Institute of Economics Hunts for Data

THE Institute of Economics, which has recently completed a study entitled “Germany’s Capacity to Pay," the conclusion of which, in effect. Is that under present conditions she* can pay nothing. was founded about 'a year ago by the Carnegie corporation of New York, "For the purpose of assembling and Interpreting the economic data which form the bases of national and International policies.” The first completed work of the Institute —the study entitled “Germany’s Capacity to Pay"—was written by Director Moulton and C. IL McGuire. The authors estimate the payments already made by Germany In cash and kind at $0,250,000,000. while France admits only $2.500,000.000. and Germany contends that they amount to $10,000,000,000. The discrepancy is due to the fact that the Institute includes Items which It considers, though the reparations commission does not, fall properly under the reparations clauses of the Versailles treaty, while

To Investigate the Cost of Sugar Beets

THE tariff commission has or* dered a “comprehensive'' Investigation into the coat of producing sugar beets within the United States. The survey, the commission's announcement explained, will be separate and distinct from the Inquiry being conducted into the cost of producing sugar in Cuba, Efawall. Porto Rico, Louisiana and of the sugar mills of the West, and will be for “purposes of the so-called flexible provisions” of the tariff act \of 1922. The extent that new study win go Into general producing costs from the agricultural standpoint Is regarded In Washington as having a direct bearing on existing rates of duty on sugar Imports. The commission said that the Inquiry was a fact-gathering proposition. and made no mention of how It intends to use the data obtained or the reason actuating it Satisfactory progress has been made, commission members reported. 1 on the previously Instituted investigation into sugar producing costa, which resulted from charges that the high

Its systematic campaign of sanitation stamped out the most dangerous center of contagion in the entire world. “From seed imported about 8,000,000 acres of land wwe sown.

energetic efforts In reconstruction are i going on, the governments are leaning heavily on the fanners' co-opera-tive organizations as mediums to forward their efforts. There Is a very distinct and apparently successful back to the soil movement In many of the countries of Europe, despite ob- • stacles. It Is one of the most encouraging signs of the times. “In nearly §ll the countries except Finland the city or consumer co-oper-atives do not seek nor want government aid except that they appreciate whatever ths government doee to educate the public.

general supposition on the part of Americans that our trade with Latin America and the Far East is a growing trade in expanding countries with Increasing standards of living whereas European trade has alreadybeen developed In past decades. •There is probably an even more weighty reason. “Staple commodities in the world’s markets are generally handled by middlemen. The farmer whose grain moves to the United Kingdom and the cotton grower whose product is received on the Bremen docks have little knowledge of. and therefore comparatively little direct interest in their goods after they have been received i and paid for by the American middle- • man. The mqpufacturer of rrachtnery, electrical equipment, and •'neclaltles, however, is generally personally Interested In his foreign business because j It Is carried on by direct trade. “For this reason European developments are closely followed by a group much smaller than Is the case with respect to non-European fields."

Germany Includes Items which the commission and the institute agree should be excluded. Premier Poincare of France, referring to this report, recently said | France had “not been informed what the Institute of Economics" was. The officers of the institute are Robert S. bookings of St. Louis, president; President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, vice president; David F.

sugar prices prevailing early In the year were attribute! to the tariff duties. The new investigation will go a step further than the one already In progress, in that it proposes to delve to the very beginning of sugar production. The inquiry announced calls for a survey of the cost of producing beets in about thirty sugar areas in Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and . California. Records will be taken from approximately two thousand farms, or about 15 per cent of the total production of the thirty districts. This amount, the commission said, should represent about 10 per cent of all sugar beets produced in the United States. . The commission will send out two crews comprising twelve or fourteen man who are trained in agricultural industries. Among them will be several from the Department of Agriculture, loaned for the purpose of the laves tiga tier

Labor in the United States Is Better Paid Than Labor Anywhere Else By SAMUEL GOMPERS, in New York Times. , NOT in any country in Europe is there a trade union movement as free from internal discord, as free from bitterness and disappointment, as united and confident of the future as the trade ' union movement of the United States. The condition of labor in Europe is not all due to post-war confusion. Labor in the United States is better paid than labor anywhere else < in the world. It lives in better homes. It wears better clothes. It has more leisure. It enjoys better food. It has a wider margin of choice in determining how and where it shall live. It has more essential freedom. Finally, it has a better trade urfion movement with which to achieve more progress and improvement. What is of interest to every one is the striking fact, attested by every competent authority, that American labor is the most skillful and productive labor in the world. Os what avail are the programs of Europe if their concrete results are inferior to the results of the efforts of American labor? It is notable that the labor movements of Europe run strongly to programs and formulas. They make formulas for everything. They embellish them, decorate them, punctuate them nicely, capitalize them freely, make speeches about them endlessly, gaze upon them worshipfully—and no doubt thus please employers immensely. But the American workers prefer an increase in wages, with all the , resulting opportunities, to a pleasing formula framed on the wall. ' We have great distances where there is no industry whatever. In point of population our country is still almost half rural and agricultural. In addition, we have in our land all of the nationalities and races of the earth. In Holland there are only Hollanders, in France only Frenchmen, in England only Britishers, in Germany only Germans. We must meet and reconcile all of the prejudices of the world, bridge all the chasms of habit, language, thought and psychology, and employers have constantly taken advantage of that fact. There is slight similarity of any kind I between the problems of labor in America and Europe, though European doctrinaires, intellectuals and superior persons generally, feel free to tell us how to order our affairs and how to enter the promised land which j is yet so very far from their own shores. ■85a585858585c!52585g5a525a52525258585a585e5g5agare585g585a5g525a585c!5g5i Americans Are Always Saying “All Right!” It I? Their Pet Phrase By GUSTAV FRENSSEN, in “Letters From America.” The Americans are always saying cheerfully, carelessly and lightly: *AII right!” It is their pet phrase. It is a phrase appropriate to wander- 1 ers, pioneers, sportsmen, hunters. Americans are hunters, and always they have been lucky at hunting. They have hunted Indians and buffaloes, negroes and Spaniards and Germans, gold and copper and oil wells, and always luck haS smiled upon them. And evenings they sit by the fire and talk of their spoils. Cares? Reflections? Right or wrong? Hunters do not ask questions about such things. Americans are now going through an era like that which Rome went through when it reached the Adriatic coast, Spain when ; [ it dispatched Columbus, England when it laid hands on South Africa and India. They are a people in the bloom of its springtime, favored and blessed by God because of its freshness, brilliancy and efficiency. ■ But remember, all that is right and valuable contains something tragic and sad. Individuals and peoples alike, everything that is worth anvthing bears the noble mark of guilt, remorse and need on its brow. All the older nations carry this mark and do not seek to deny it: Spain, Holland, Sweden, England, France, Germany. Creation is tragic. The American people do not bear this old, holy sign of creation; in America there is no scar, complaint, remorse, want, error. Everything there is still mathematically clear ; everything comes out just as it should. Everything there is still “all right!” No Civilization Lasts Long Unless the People Are Trained to Their Tasks By PROF. M. V. O’SHEA, University of Wisconsin. The conditions in city life have changed markedly during the last few decades. The individual home has been constantly losing its dis- ! tinctive character. Fifty years ago, even in the city, young and old spent a considerable part of their time in their own homes. Today most of their time is spent outside of their homes; and even when they are in their own homes, their friends are there with them. ‘ The agencies in the city designed to help people to while away their j time have been constantly increasing out of all proportion to an increase in the size of the cities. This simply means that people are spending much more of their time together in groups than they did formerly. The tendency of this new life is to make young people more respon-1 give, more alert, more self-reliant in the presence of others, perhaps even j “smarter’ than was true in the old order. But at the same time, young people do not have training outside of the school in long-continued application to any task. No civilization can long endure unless the people are trained to apply themselves to their tasks, whatever they may be, for a long time; that is to say, until the tasks are solved. j “It Was Your Prime Minister George Who Saved Turkey From Herself” By DR. A. J. TOYNBEE, in Contemporary Review. Had we succeeded in establishing a moral hold over the last inde- ’ pendent Moslem state, our ascendescy would hardly have been disputed elsewhere; and the whole Islamic world, from Bengal to Constantinople, and from the African lakes to the Caucasus, might have been drawn into [ the wake of the British Empire, except for a few French and Italian j dependencies scattered here and there as-enclaves. Looking back on thia position today, the Turks, Egyptians, Afghans, and Indians whom an English visitor meets at Angora have a way of smiling and professing ironical gratitude to Mr. Lloyd George. “It was your late prime minister,” they explain, “who saved Turkey from herself. Had he given her one touch of kindness, one friendly stroke or a gentle word, she would have licked his hand and we might all have lost our independence forever. Fortunately, he preferred to kick her till she showed her teeth and summoned up her last energies to fight for her existence; and, as it turned out, we have gained far more by defiance than we could ever have gained by conciliation.” William Lyon Phelps, in Scribner’s Magazine.—A correspondent suggests for the ignoble prize no less a person than Walt Whitman, whose fame is certainly broader and higher at this moment than ever before. To me, he is one of the American poets, and a man of genius. Yet there is an enormous amount of rubbish in his complete works. In many of his pagea I see nothing but a Sears-Roebuck catalogue with calliope accompaniment. Would I place him above Edgar Allan Poe? I would not And if I could read only one American poet would it be Whitman? It would not One hour of Poe is worth a cycle of Old Walt But there are passages in the Camden bard, especially hia first lines, that affect me like the ocean, the prairia and the stars.
