Benefit of Censorship.
"Do you approve of censorship for
the theater?" "Yes." replied the mani
ager; "hut only for foreign countries.
I You can always expect good business
for a play whose production has been
forbidden abroad."
Dictators Out of Date.
If you're tempted to be a dictator,
stand off somewhere and get a good
square look at yourself. You might
stand in the shadows on the corner,
and let the fellows tell each other their
oninion of you. It may not be ex
actly to your liking, but it may help
you see what your rating is. Few
people have enough of the all-wisdom
to regulate the world. The best thing
is for you to put your personal affairs
in such shape that they will command
the admiration of the community.
Then folks will ask your adviee
and you can dictate so long as
the advice you give is regarded by
the otiier fellow as genuine service to
him, but no longer.?Grit.
Ancient Crown Preserved.
The old crown of the Lombards Is
still preserved In the Church of St.
John the Baptist at Monza. It is made
of six pieces and adorned with 22 jewels.
20 golden roses and 24 emeralds.
It was brought from Palestine by the
Empress Helena, and given by Pope!
Gregory I to the Lombard princess I
Theodellndn. The crown was used in '
crowning the Lombard kings and the i
German emperors as kings of Italy.
Napoleon used It at Milan in 1805, and
the Emj>eror Ferdinand I in 1S38. It
was carried off by the Austrians in
1STi9. but restored to Monza in 1868.

Potency of Sunny Souls.
We all know what a draught of refreshment
it is when a sunny person
eoines into our company. A cheerful
member redeems the meeting, a cheerful
daughter is a godsend to the family,
a cheerful workman lights up the
shop, and even a cheerful face among
the passengers of a railway conch or
waiting room makes a distinct contribution
to the well-being of all the
crowd. Why not be one of these sun
shine spreaders? Why not have ev- i
ery group glad to welcome you. every I
party brighten when you appear, ev- !
ery one in the room sit up and look
relieved when you enter? Make your '
own sunshine and carry it with you. [
and you get what every creature I
wants?Appreciation and affection.
Perhaps it is because you are unlit
that you are unloved.?I>r. Frank '
Crane in Leslie's.
Sounds That Bounce.
Like light, sound is formed by a vibration
or a moving of the atmosphere.
These sound waves travel through the
liir precisely as water waves travel ;
through the sen. or as ripples are i
formed when one easts a jiebhle into a
pond. Hippies oj Wilier are nininu j
back when they reach the mlgo ??f the
pond, but owing to the less of tiioiucu- 1
tuni the return wave is usually less ;
noticeable than I lie original one. The
air, however, being more resilient tlmn ,
water, bounces hack when one of the I!
sound waves strikes an obstruction. I
and eventually returns to its original
source?the force of the return being
largely dependent ijpon the nature of
the obstruction and the atmospheric
conditions prevailing at the lime. It
Is this return of the sound waives that
we call an echo. ' (
Eve of First of f.iay.
The eve of the first of May is known
In German legend as Walpurgis night,
the Detroit News recalls. Then witches
and other workers of evil hold high |
revel and offer sacrifices to the devil
as their lord and master. The scene
of their festival in Germany is the
Brocken, a famous peak in the Hurz
mountains, 3.745 feet high. This annual
festival was, in the popular belief,
conceded to thein in recompense
for the loss they sustained when by
St. Walpurga the Saxons were persuaded
to renounce paganism with its
rites for Christianity. Sr. Walpurga
was an English nun, who, in the mid- j
die of the Eighth century, went as a
missionary to Germany. She was suerpcsfiil
sod woe held In high honor hy

Homes of the Middle Ages.
The two most essential improve- r
ments in architecture during this pe- |
riod, one of which had been missed j
by the sagacity of Greece and Rome, j
were chimneys and glass windows. c
Nothing apparently can be more simple
than the former; jet the wisdom r
<>f ancient times had been content to f
let the smoke escape by an aperture
in the center of the roof; and a dis- [
cowry, of which Vitruvius had not a r
glimpse, was made, perhaps in this
. ouiiiry, by some forgotten semi-barbarian.
About the middle of the
Fourteenth century the use of chimneys
is distinctly mentioned in England
and in Italy; but they are found
in several of our castles which bear
a much older datonet

There had heen soiee anxiety

to fill these vacancies in the list of
major generals were Charles J.
Bailey and Samuel D. Sturgis, and
when he gave out these names, Secretary
of War Weeks made it known that
hereafter merit will be the test for
promotion to the rank of brigadier
general. Secretary Weeks, In a letter
to General Wood, paid high tribute to
the letter's achievements. "I do not
consider," lie wrote, "that it is too
much to say that your efforts contributed
more to remedy our unpreparedness
for war than those of any
other individual, and for this your
country will give you credit long
after the circumstances which denied
you the privilege of conirrianding in
battle the troops you trained are forgotten."
In accordance with the recommendations
of the conference on unemployment.
President Harding issued a'
public statement asking governors and
mayors throughout the country to
organize in each community machinery
for the correction of economic
conditions along the lines worked out
by the conference. Local co-operation,
he declared, Is absolutely necessary"
to success, and to give national coordination
to the efforts for rehabilitation.
a central agency will be
maintained in Washington under the
auspices of the conference. Secretary
Hoover appointed as head of this
agency Col. Arthur Woods, former
police commissioner of New York.
Mr. Harding believes that a large
number of men now jobless would be
given employment if congress would
pass the railroads credit bill, which
would mean the payment of about half
a billion dollars to the railroads.
Therefore he Is urging that the measure
l>e adopted at this session.
William Howard Taft was sworn in
as chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States last Monday and
i took his seat as the fall term of the
! court opened. Two days Inter be took
i off his gown and appeared before the
senate judiciary committee to advo;
rate enactment of a law creating
. eighteen additional federal judgeships.
The Volstead act, he said, has added
] considerably to the congestion ht the

do not hesitate to sn.v that I lrdleve
violations of the prohibition law will

At Torney (7t?nt?rm unumicii,*, nifi?

this opinion, saving prohibition rases
liave reached fheir j>eak and 'lointions
will decrease, as the people want
to see the law enforced and th* tendency
of state authorities to len^o enforcement
to flirt government is Vanning
to disappear. Mr. DniuMerty
should know wlrtit he is talking i tout,
but the news columns of the daily
papers do not bear out his assertion.
Pol. diaries R. Forbes, director of
tlie federal veterans' bureau, returned
to Washington last week after an inspection
trip throughout the country.
' and at once made a startling report
i to President Harding, lie asserted
I that of the 100.000 disabled soldiers
who are being given vocational education
at the government's expense.
30.000 are being "farmed out" to
sweatshops and "mushroom Institutions
created for the purpose of getting
federal trainers and government
money." Forbes declares the Chicago
situation is especially had in this respect
and adds that It Is nothing short
of crime and slavery to put men In
some of the places they have been put.
He gave orders for the discontinuance
j of training at certain schools and InI
st'tutions In Chicago. Chicagnnns

Now President Harding has made it
known that he is opposed to having
the matter of the allied debts brought
up at all at the parley. He believes
it can be better settled in other ways,
and that the conference will have
enough to do In considering the questions
provided in the agenda as it
now stands. He is extremely desirous
that something big be accomplished
In the reduction of armaments
and the settlement of the pressing
problems of the Pacific and the Far
East and does not wish the work ol
the conference made more arduous
by the injection of other questions.
When the French chamber of deputies
meets on October 18. Premier
Briand expects to obtain a vote of
confidence, which would mean permission
for him to attend the conference
in Washington. Since he has declared
his Intention of coming Prime
Minister Lloyd George has begun to
think he, too, will be able to attend
the parley, believing that the Irish
peace negotiations will be so well under
way that he can leave them to
others for n few weeks. It is said,
too, that Lloyd George hopes to arrange
a preliminary conference with
the representatives of France and
Italy before they come over. Ostensibly
this would be a meeting to consider
the report of the League of Nations
council on the division of the
plebiscite area of Upper Silesia.
Secretary Hughes has Invited Holland,
Belgium and Portugal to participate
in the Washington conference
when it is discussing questions relating
to the Far East. These three na
tions nave territorial interests in tnr
Orient.
The assembly of the League of Nations
ended Its second meeting last
week after re-electing Brazil, Belgium,
China and Spain as the non-permanent
members of the council. The
proposed amendment or elimination
of article X and the amendment of
the article on registration of treaties
went over to the next sessflon, and in
the matter of reduction of armaments
action seemed to be blocked by the
coming Washington conference. Nevertheless
the assembly accomplished
a good deal. The international court
of justice was established, various important
technical organizations were
set up and other important step;
taken.
Hungary, warned by the allies
agreed to withdraw entirely fron
Burgenland. the strip awarded to Austria
by the treaty of Trianon. The
trouble there, however, may not be
ended, for the Hungarian government
admittedly has lost control over the
irregular troops that are holding .1
part of the territory and that so fai
have refused to get out.
