But j second - thought usually brings the reflection that most swindles are du,e to the greed of the swindled. "When ihe widow is fleeced out of i the insurance money which should have kept herself and her children ! fiom want, the indignation is more or less righteous and lasting. But even in that case, had the widow consulted and- followed the advice of a reputable banker before in vesting her all in blue sky stuff, it probably would not have happen ed. "When, however, patrons of pleas ure resorts are parted from large gums because they were too lazy s^inded or too greedy for quick re turns to make proper investigation, the rest of ns with our little sav ings bank accounts, our diminish ing home payments, our sound en dowment insurance, our Liberty Bonds and our few shares of good industrial stock salted down, may he permitted to smile. That is, we may smile as long as we stick to our little old sound investments and ilo not listen to the lure of the wily salesman who 2s going to give us- profits at a wildly high percentage. Perhaps the people who have been swindled in the South this winter can afford it. If they couldn't. why did they bite? The -jnan. who bites on bait like that when his family might suffer if ??e thing goes wrong is too foolish to waste much pity on. ' ? ? ??-:? RAILROAD ECONOMY - The .Pennsylvania Railroad an ftQuhces a. net income for last year Qt 124.307.000 which is not bad for a year of business depression - and-.shrunken traffic. It amounts to nearly 5 per cent on the capital stock outstanding. Mpre interesting still is the pro cess by which this showing was made. The Pennsylvania accom plished the remaxkablet'feat of re ducing its operating expenses to the extent 4of;$ 1*0,000.000 for 1921 as compared with 1920. Much of this saving, no. doubt, was effect ed automatically in the natural re duction of current expenses for labor, fuel, etc., accompanying di minished traffic Most of it, evi dently, was-the result of increased ef?ciency in operation. It is to _be remembered that the Pennsylvania was already regard ed as highly efficient judged by American railroad standards, which are the highest in the world. What vast benefits, then, might not fol- I low tt American railroads general ly were able to follow the Pennsyl vania's example? The best thing about it is that the economics introduced can be practixed just as well in good tim^s as inj bad times, thereby doubling the benefits of normal prosperity. Therein lie the big possibilities for ' American ? railroading hereafter. Excellent as our transportation is, ! compared with foreign railroading, it is; still wasteful and inefficient ' when compared with some of our j other industries. TRAFFIC RIGHTS Says a citizen who drives a car. j and who has never had any | trouble with th? police: "If ^?utomobilisfs drove as care lessly as pedestrians walk, and with as little regard for other peo pie's rights, the 'jails would be full j of thera." i Where is the moving mass of pedestrians-, he wants tos know, j that awrtees ? a proper stream of traffic ?kmg the sidewalk? The law requires that they, like the vehicles in the street, should keep j to the right. Yet there are always ! flock.?..^^ pedestrians walking on j the wTro}fg'side of the walk, stop- j ping to talk right in the middle of j the \?Sfitr--weaving in and out re gardlea*. of law or common sense, < and otherwise obstructing foot traffic. In so* doing, the pedestrians only ! interfere with each other. In crossing the street, this citizen in | sists. they interfere with vehicle ! traffic in a way that they would i consider intolerable if automobile drivers performed the same pranks. : They out across anywhere in the 'block, instead of at the crossings '?? provided. They disregard traffic I signals in a way that a motorist [ seldom dares to. They compel the j motorist to look out for their lives. ; instead of doing their own share [of looking out. They nearly scare ; drivers to death by darting ahead j of cars unexpectedly, and often, by j getting in the way when they have j no business there, they deprive au tomobiles of their turn at the 1 crossing and slow down the whole [stream of vehicle traffic. This is a side of the everlasting : feud that is not often heard. There iis undoubtedly something in it. Pe ] destrians will never succeed in wrn I ning adequate recognition of their own rights until they are more re j gardful of the other fellow's. -?!*.? ? ! Zionists aud Arabs in Palestine. Jerusalem. March 3 6.-?The di I vision between. Arabs and Zionists f over the establishment of the Jew | Ish Homeland in Palestine is be ! coming more clearly denned as the j two opposing .elements clash, j Before Winston Churchill told j the Arab delegation in London few ? weeks ago that the creation of a j national independent government ' in Palestine could not be sanction j ed now, the Arabs here had hopes I that the Balfour declaration would j be scrapped and that an independ ; ent Arab Palestine would be set \ up under British advisors. i Jamal Effendi El Hussein!, sec I retary of the Christian-Moslem j committee, whose, aim is to com i bat Zionism, told The Associated ? Press correspondent that the Bal I four declaration was "unjust and ; impracticable because it tends to j sacrifice 300,000 souls on the cross ? of political Zionism. It is imprae ! ticable because it does not solve the Jewish problem since Palestine j can at most accommodate only 2, I ouo.000 of the 14,000,000 of Jews , in the world." } Mr. Husseini defined the demands j of the Arabs as including the j right of Palestine to have control j of its internal affairs and of Jewish i immigration, the privilege of ad I ministering its own finances and ? revocation of the order that a Pal i estine police force be organized by I recruiting former British soldieps. i "We do- not resent the thought j of a British protectorate, provided j we are permitted to retain our.na | tional entity," said Mr. Husseini. j "We are even willing to permit our i foreign relations to be dominated : by British policy." He pointed to i the example of Malta as one which j Palestinians would be glad to emu i late. ... The Arab leader charged that ; the economic development of Pal I setine had been retarded since the j Zionist organization gained ascend ! ency and declared that the Pales I tine government, at the request of j Zionists, was refusing to grant con cessions to either English or Araer j ican companies and. that conse quently .the land was .economically stagnant. He declared, that the only solu ! tion to the Palestine problem I would be a return to ne starting j point alter the- armistice and a set tlement in conformity with the j wishes of the Arab population, j The other side of the picture is j presented by Levi.Solomon, a lead i ing Zionist in Palestine who declar I ed that the Jews were anxious and j re: iy to do everything "in their : puwer to create friendly relations : and mutual understanding with j their brethren the Arabs who are j of the same Semitic race." j "The presence of the Jews in j Palestine is far. from- being preju | dicial to the interests of the j Arabs," he said. "On the contrary, j it has proved ve*y beneficial." j He enumerated a number of 'enterprises which are being under ! taken or planned by Jews. These ?included the Ruttenberg scheme for ; the generation of electricity, the ! Haifa bonded warehouses for fa cilitating foreign trade, harbor im provements of Java to make it a navigable port all the year round and the building of several factor ies. These he said were only a few of the many Jewish schemes for the building up of Palestine. ~ "Free -Vir" Will Operate Jack for Any Motor Car.

Cabiil, founder i of soccer in the United States, i Mr. Cahill, who is secretary of Uhe United States Football Asso ciation, which controls soccer in ! this country, suggested that all-star I elevens of both countries meet {either in the United States or i abroad to decide the championship j and settle the question of soccer j supremacy between the t wo eoun I tries.. Discussing the merit of the 'American style of soccer as played i by American born players, Cahill j stated that America was about ready to pass the old country in j playing this game, which was im i ported from the British Isles, j "I believe.'" he continued, "'that j I could pick a team of American born players that could detent any all-British team today.'* i "When the Third Lanark team ? came to the United States.last year for a rour of this country, it was I made up of picked internationalists j?a strong combination. Yet one of j our teams in the East, not a cham ! pion. played the Britons to a j standst j . "1 m..?e the suggestion to the j Lanark manager that we could beat England, and then 1 made him this offer: To . pick an All-Ameri can team to play a picked British (team. I agreed to play abroad if {the Britons would guarantee our '. expenses. Or I would guarantee t the expenses of the British team to (this country if they cared to do jthat. He has not accepted the ! proposition. j "Such a game ought to be play j ed abro'ad because of the immense j interest that would be created. In England the international cup ties draw crowds of more than 100.000 ?-twice our maximum totals in {baseball. And 1 still stand ready to go and believe the United States would win. "They have stood still in Eng land or gone back. The United States is still inferior in finesse, as the Britons are past . masters at trapping and controlling the ball. J But a team of *^0 second' men I breaks up this combination. In j America the game is played in high j for the entire contest, whereas in jEngland they want to relax. In j goal- shooting, speed, aggressive ? nejss and other factors America is I equal to or better than the old j country today. [ "This opinion is shared in j Sweden, Norway" and Denmark, I elevens from "which countries have J met football teams from rhis coun try and from the British Isles, 'too. Swedish authorities long ago j told me that America had out stripped England in football strength. I believe it." I Mr. Cahill also expressed the i opinion that a picked team from St. Louis could till the All-Ameri can requirement, although he said i many fine American born players ; were being developed in the East. [The Scullin team of St. Louis holds j the championship of America. Paying a tribute to England as ;the home .of soccer. Mr. Cahill j concluded: } "The United States owes a great I debt to the old country boys who (in the past have taught us the fun j damentals and who are responsible j in part for the- present standing of j the game in this country. There j are many wonderful old country i players on teams in the L'nited (States today. But i think the j American eaglets are about ready i to quit their nests." . - ; ? ? ? I Trade Problems Tackled by Univer sity. Notre Dame. Ind.. April 2?Ex | pert advice to exporters in the [solution of foreign trade problems I is the aim of a new department j which has been organized by the college of commerce of the Uni | versify of Notre Dame. This new j department is expected to supple : ment the work of governmental j and other agencies in supplying {exporters with trade information j and to obtain for foreign commerce (students actual business problems j as a preparation for their future j work. The new department is un ' der the supervision of Professor ! James E. McCarthy, a graduate i of Columbia- University. Exporters, particularly manu t facturers of the Middle West, have sought the advice of the Foreign ! Commerce Department at different time's, and the "enthusiastic ap preciation shown for this service has encouraged the University au thorities to put this work on a I formal basis. A "recent example j of this service was the trade ad I vice given in response to an in quiry regarding the marketing in fhe Argentine of a pump to which a tank was attached as a part of its equipment. The reply gave the freight rates on the tanks assembled, knocked down, and shipped as flat plates, the rates of duty in the Argentine cus toms: the possible local compe titors, both domestic and foreign, and suggested the name of a well known manufacturer in Buenos Ai res as able to supply the banks locally and market the pumps. The detailed information given was probably more than could have been secured through a detailed inquiry sent to Buenos Aires, and saved the manufacturer at least three months delay in securing the information desired. The department? is the out growth ot tin* desire on the part of the University to offer to the busi ne s men of this country through the research <b-partm?-nt. the same service as state universities offer the agricuturists. ?'Women painted in the middU ages." finds a scientist.

THE CITY PARK Mrs. Dillon Gives a Partial List of Native Trees and Shrubs Now in the Park Editor of The Item: The enclosed clipping and a j eopy of a. letter which I have sent' to Mr. Bland may be of interest ! ro your many readers all of whom\ know that Mr. Bland is an ardent j horticulturist. There are so many hundreds of ' people who ride by the Park and never stop their cars and to these it may be information to see the list of native plantings that are growing there. April is the time to plant azaleas j and japonicas and if there are any friends who will donate them they} will be very gratefully received. ; Thanking you for publishing this answer as conspicuously as the suggestion was. T am. Yours very truly. JULIA LESTER DILLON, j ' Mr. IT. C. Bland. Sumter. S. C. Dear Mr. Bland: Thanks for! your interest in the Park and your planting suggestions. With azaleas as high, in price as they have been since the federal horticultural hoard passed Quar antine 37. with the slowness of their growth and the especial prep- J a ratio, of soil and culture that they require it has not seem advisable J to ask the City Council to allow j their purchase. The only really beautiful camellia that f know of has also been kept from us by the aforesaid Quaran tine 37, but 1 am rooting some cuttings and hope to have a supply j in the fall. [ What. 1 have said about the high! price and slow growth of the azaleas also applies to the plant ing of pecan trees on the streets. If donations will be made for the purchase cf either I will guarantee I planting and future care. About the other plants men boned it will perhaps interest you I to know that of the native plants absence of which you complain, j there are in the park and growing; there for two years the following: 23 Magnolia grandiflora, 2 Mag- j nolia purple, 20 white dogwood. 20 i pink dogwood, 10 brown sweet I shrubs. 1", crepe myrtles. 10 crab-' apple blossoms, 20 Judas trees, 25 hydrangeas, 1 white fringe, 10 coral berry. 5 sumachs. 10 smoke { trees, about 100 wild olives. 3 white Cherokee roses. 2 pink Cherokee j roses. white and yellow Lady i Banksia roses. .", scarlet wood- J bine, 2 Carolina yellow Jasmine j and perhaps many others that I do not now recall, but the above is] surely enough to show you that there has been no neglect of ih'_* j native planrings. It is necessary in all landscape planting to make backgrounds.) One blossom against an evergreen j tree stands out like a picture, and j perhaps in ten years you will be J saying, why in the world did she j plant So' many of the common j things from the woodlands? They j are all beautiful and my constant message to southern gardeners has-; been and is use the material all I around you and we will have the most beautiful country in the] world. Perhaps a hundred years from j now our to-be-planted azaleas will j rival Magnolia Gardens?certainly { they will not; before that date. As to blossoms: The only plants! in the Park that are not blosomingj shrubs are the coniferous ever greens. All the rest are of interest I either for flower or fruit, and there is not a month in the year, that is without its full quota of flowers or berry or beauty. There were nearly $S0O worth of plants that were ordered for the Park initially that were not sent on aecounr of the lateness of the season when the Park was planted in 1920. These plants have never been reordered and there are many gaps that could be rilled in with tea olives. pittospirums. laurus tinus, azaleas, japonions and many other plants that we now do not have. I have not asked the City Council to spend this additional amount because of many reasons and also because it seemed wiser to put the money allowed for this work elsewhere at this time. This is why I planted 415 trees this winter instead of further plantings in the park. There are also other spots in the city that need beautifying more than this one just now. Assuring you of my hearty co operation in anything that looks to the beautifying- of the City of Sumter, I am, fours very truly. JULIA LESTER DILLON. Mevieo JV'Iluhfcr" - :i a: MBfl Paradise.
