What Is Worth While?
Germany in the Fashion
ThoCoet of Crime
A Long, Long Fast
Intellectual young ladies In New
York are asking, "What Is really worth
while In this life?" and answering In
various ways.
To that question, when woman is
concerned, there is only one answer.
The thing worth while in life is
to get married, raise a family of chil
dren that will repay all your affec
tion when you are old and feel that
you have done your share In contrib
uting to the intelligent population of
the globe.
Everything else, for Intelligent young
women, is mere waste of time unless
one happens to* be a genius like a
Bronte sister or a Sarah Bernhardt.
An even then she ought to raise a
family.
Herrlot, able French prime minister,
Is suspicious of Germany. What Is
more, the French government says,
"Germany Is using United States
money in her secret arming program."
If so, Germany is using United States
money about the same as everybody
else in Europe is using It.
Either with money recently bor
rowed, or money borrowed In the war,
and not repaid, the most conspicuous
countries in Europe keep up their war
program.
The fact that they don't pay us en
ables them to use their money for
arms. Germany couldn't borrow from
us in war times and has done her bor
rowing privately since the war.
A federal Judge has said that crime in
United States costs annually between
eleven thousand and thirteen thousand
million dollars. Every year crime
costs the country more than the total
sum we lent Europe In the war. An
expert says racketeering costs Chi
cago alone one hundred and forty-five
millions a year. "Legitimate" busi
ness of many kinds. Important
branches of union labor, and many
other lines of effort are victims and
sometimes originators of racketeering.
This country needs to clean house
in more ways than one.
Poor Qandhl, starting his "death
fast," says he is "anxious as anybody
to live" and last as long as possible.
He asks no sympathy. "After the first
few days desire for food will vanish
and I shall begin to brood." He will
take no nourishment except water un
til he dies, or "until the Hindu con
science awakens."
Hindu national conscience or con
sciousness has been asleep for more
than a thousand years. It will not
awaken easily.
A twelve-year-old boy hanged him
self In New Jersey "because he had
been told he must attend the public
school Instead of continuing at the
'select academy.' "
Someone should have explained to
the hoy that the public school, better
than any other, would give him a
better chance of becoming a first-class
American.
In the public school a boy meets all
kinds of Americans, learns to under
stand them, and to realize that he Is
not better than some other hoy be
cause his father happens to have a
little money.
The public school Is the real school.
A phllosophlcol British lody, Mrs.
Powlo.v, Is kidnaped by Chinese bnn
dits. She writes "please send me a
powder puff, foce cream and o lip
stick. I don't want anything else but
a bath." And asks that police he kept
away, because if they follow the ban
dits she may be killed.
She would like to be ransomed If
possible, hut says, "please don't bust
yourselves."
There Is a marvelous placidity in
certain British women, ond gre^it
courage.
California sends cheerful news. Dr.
R. O. Moore, very able surgeon of the
Pacific coast, reports that In his ro
ing to and fro, which Includes use of
flying mnehlnes for hurried opera
tions, he finds much more optimism,
and, says he: "Optimism must como
first."
Those well Informed say China's
only Immediate hope Is In a more
or less benevolent domination by Ja
pan. China's war lords, fighting each
other, starving the people, offer no
hope.
Japan would discourage bandits by
killing them and diminish starvation
by abolishing roving bands that de
vour or destroy crops.
There are In the world about 80,
000,000 radio sets, more than half In
this country. More than half the
world's automobiles are In this coun
try, more than half the vacuum clean
ers, electric washing machines, Im
proved farming Implements, electric
lights, etc.
A gfeat loss to science In the death
of Dr. Russell A. Hthhs, chief surgeon
of New York's Orthopaedic dlspon*
sary and hospital. Only nlxty-thre?
yearn old, Doctor fllhhs, saving mo
many others, destroyed himself wltk
overwork and overnnxlety for his pa
tients. The welfare of any one of the
thousands of pobr children and sdult*
upon whom he operated gratuitously
weighed upon his mind.

Peter Turned to Look at Johnny and
Wat Puzzled at the Look of Dis
gust on Johnny's Face.
for a while near Johnny Chuck's door
step to chnt with Johnny Chuck while
they watch the first of the Black Shad
ows steal among the trees and listen
to the good-night twitters of the feath
ered folk and the beautiful evening
song of Brownie the Thrush.
"Chltter-chltter-chltter-chlt I Chltter
chltter-chitter-chlt ! Chit, chit, ch!t,
chit!" Peter put his head hack to
look up. Over the tops of the trees
raced ,n black form, this way, that
way, turning, wheeling and then with
rapid wing beats racing straight
ahead, all the time shouting Joyous
ly. It was a bird, of course. Flitter
the Bat Is the only animal who can
fly, and he cannot fly anything like
the darting little black form Peter
was watching. It was Sooty the
Swift.
"Sooty Rets more fun out of flying
than anybody I know of," declared
Peter. "Just listen to him I He
shouts Just for pure Joy of using
those queer little wings. I know how
ho feels. lie feels Just as I do when
I race around and kick up my heels
Just for pure Joy In being alive.
Sometimes I wish I could shout then,
but you know I can't, because I
haven't any voice for shouting. Just
listen to Sooty ! lie Isn't much to
look at, but ho seems to have more
fun than any bird I know of unless
It Is Skimmer the Swallow, and then
after all, Sooty Is a swallow him
self."
"Huh !" It was Johnny Chuck.
"Huh I" exclaimed Johnny again.
Peter turned to look nt Johnny and
was puzzled at the look of disgust on
Johnny's face. "Huh I" exclaimed
Johnny Chuck once more. "For a fel
low who goes about as much as you
do and pokes his nose Into other peo
ple's affairs as much as you do, Peter
Babbit, you know mighty little about
your neighbors. Whoever tokl you
that Sooty Is a swallow?"
"Why ? why ? why, I don't know that
any one did," replied Peter slowly,
looking more puzzled than ever. "I
didn't have to bo told. Any one can
see that he is a swallow Just to look
at him."
"Huh 1" Johnny Chuck seemed very
fond of that exclamation. "I sup
pose any one can make themselves
see what they want to see If they
don't use their brains ehough to And
out other things. Sooty Isn't a swal
low, and never will bo a swallow. He
belongs to another family altogether.
He's a swift. That's what he Is a
swift"
Peter didn't know Just what to any.
Johnny Chuck spoke as If he knew
exactly what he was talking about,
and Peter had to admit to himself
that he really didn't know a thing
about Sooty. "Chltter-chltter-chltter
chlt-chlt !" Once more Sooty raced
high overhead shouting Joyously.
"He looks like a swallow anyway,"
declared Peter, "but If you say he
Isn't one I suppose he Isn't, If he Is
a swift he Is well named, for he cer
tainly Is swift enough in the air. I
guess I don't know much about him."
"I guess you don't," declared
Johnny Chuck, if you call him a swal
low. The trouble with a lot of peo
ple is that they don't know anything
about their neighbors and just guess
at things. You've known Sooty by
sight a long time, haven't you?"
"Ever since I can remember," re
plied Peter. "Summer wouldn't be
summer without Sooty cutting up and
racing around up In the air. But I've
never seen him close to, or sitting
still, and I've never thought much
about him. He never before seemed
to me very interesting."
"Huh !" exclaimed Johnny Chuck.
Everybody is interesting if you take
the trouble to get acquainted."

To Find Truth
There are two ways of reaching
truth? by reasoning it out and by feel
ing it out. All the profoundest truths
are felt out. The deep glances into
truth are gdt by love. Love a man,
that is the best way of understand
ing him. Feel a truth, that is the only
way of comprehending it. ? F. W. Rob

Up our way.
You ought to sen the fixing,
You ought to see the flour.
You ought to see the mixing,

Artificial Heart
A Vienna physician. Doctor Elsen

"artificial heart" that pumps the
blood when the real heart stops. By
use of this new apparatus persons
apparently dead have been brought
back to life. It keeps the blood cir
culating for a while although the
heart has stopped. The machine la
designed to apply alternate pressure
anil suction to that part of the chest
containing the heart, so that blood Is
a-lternately sucked Into that organ
and forced out again, simulating ap
proximately the normal circulation
maintained by the heartbeat.
