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 Dictators Out of Date.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.

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?

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 those she converted. . 1 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 {SAL CAR - III Sedan$660 || J \ F.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The peril that resides In overwhelrang majorities, always recognized by (oliticinns. is being demonstrated iguin to the Republicans in congress n the case of the tax bill. The senate tepuhlieans l.'ave been split up Into eve ml groups that so far have been [liable to agree on the changes to be nude in the measure us passed by the louse, and the Democratic minority, onsequently. is hopeful of carrying iut Its program. Tiie main features if this are: A higher surtax rate than 32 per ent to affect incomes In excess of 500,000. A graduated corporation income tax n place of the proposed ].j iw*r cent ate.

There had heen soiee anxiety in Washington lest tlie deliherations of the conference on limitation of armaments might lie disturlied hy the doings of congress if it were in session after November 11. hut Mr. Harding is not at all worried liv this. The tax hill is holding up all business In the senate except the treaties and the canal tolls 1,111. The treaties pre to he voted on October 14 and the eannl measure eomcs to a vote on October 10.

The brigadiers promoted 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 | federal courts, arid lie continue"!: "I do not hesitate to sn.v that I lrdleve violations of the prohibition law will greatly Increase before they be&ln to grow fewer." ' ' 1 ^ < am^ii nlon At Torney (7t?nt?rm unumicii,*, nifi? before the committee, disagreed with 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 interested In the vocational training of ex-service men eonld not hrir'g themselves to believe the truth of Colonel Forbes' necusntlons. though a^m'ttlng there might be Isolated onser (7 exploitation.

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. A special committee of the Chant her of Commerce of the United States has just returned from a trip of in vestigatlon a I iron el and submits a re port in which active American participation in the economic rehahilitn ,nwl ctnlilllvallnn <if l-'lll-iim. iv fl-C ommended.
