The vanity of age is a curious thing. As we approach fifty most of us who have survived plagues, pestilence and famine, wars, panics and the other perils that flesh is heir to begin to hark back to the good old times when everything was different. Because things were different we foster the de lusion that everything was better. We expect youngsters to listen with rapt attention to our reminiscences. I con fess that 1 myself lind it necessary to tight constantly a tendency to corner some hapless youngster and describe lo him the old statehouse, or tiie Union station us it used to be in the good ; old times before tiie tracks were ele vated and tiie mortality list lowered. Ur. in a mood of condescension, I speak of that glorious year when our town figured in tiie schedules of the National league. Baseball, I intimate, reached perihe lion in that year of wonder. When I speak of Kelly and Clarkson and other giants of those days and their visit to our capital, or recall Jack Glass cock as the most efficient and capti vating shortstop the diamond has ever i known, he merely smites sadly; ami if you continue he may lie driven to ask you what you think of Babe Ruth and some other luminaries of tiie de generate present. There have been great men since Agamemnon, and we needn't imagine that the youth of to day are not aware of the fact. Suffi cient unto tiie day are the heroes thereof.—Harper's M agazine. ANATOLE FRANCE AND INGRES Great Author, as a Youth, Glad of Op portunity to Be of Service to Venerable Man. Ingres lived 200 feet away from my home, on the Quai Voltaire. I knew him by sight. He was more than eighty years old. Age, which is a dis aster for ordinary mortals, is an apotheosis for men of genius. I was in the Theater du Chatelet on j the night when "The Magic Flute” was sung for tiie first time by Christine Nilsson. I had an orchestra seat. Long before the curtain rose the tiieater was full. I saw M. Ingres coming toward tne. It was he, his head like a bull, bis eyes still black and piercing, his short stature, bis powerful gait. It was known that he loved music. I realized that having the entree to the theater he had come in and was vainly looking for a seat. I was about to offer him mine; he did not give me the chance. “Young nian,'’ he said, “give me your place; I am M. Ingres." I rose, radiant. The venerable old man had done me tiie honor of choos j ing me to give up my place to M ' Ingres.—Anatole France, in the Dial. Milk Bottle Thermometer. A North Woodward housewife, who lives In a house boasting a back porch, says she can always tell how cold it is by the length of the cone of frozen milk In the neck of the bottle she finds on her hack porch every morning. By comparison with a nearby thermometer, she says, she finds that at about 20 above the cap of the bottle is barely lifted and the contents frozen about two inches down. At 14 above she found the cap shoved up about two Indies and the milk solid some three Inches down. Seven above is good for a projection of “solid" milk some four or five inches above the bottle neck and the contents semi-solid throughout. The bottle of milk thermometer Is reliable only for above-zero temperature, a* lower temperatures must he judged by the curvature of the frozen neck of cream.—Detroit News. "Maxim Gorky" a Paeudonym. “Maxim Gorky,” who was reported to be on his way to England on a visit to H. G. Wells, but is still held up by the Bolshevist authorities on the frontier, U Alexei Pyeahkof, the poet and chronicler of the pariahs and vega bonds of Russian society. “Gorky" means "bitter." The full name, "Maxim Gorky," may, perhaps, be read to mean the “bitterest of the bitter." The pseudonym effectively symbolizes Pyeahkof s attitude toward life, for his fiction is the distilled es sence of the disappointed. He was not at first a Bolshevik, and ( he seems only to have joined the Bolshevist ranks under pressure. Given his choice between low diet and high office he preferred the latter, which Is one, happily, that does not require him to take any active part In the perpetration of atrocities.—Liv ing Age Haiti’s Scrapping Roosters. Roosters that crow day and night and never seem to recognize the differ ence between day and night were re cently described by William Almon Wolff In Colliers. Mr Wolff visited Haiti while he was serving as a sergeant in the marine corps reserve. "When it comes to cock fighting In Haiti," he writes, “the rooster plays a very Important role. Sunday after noon Is the great time for that, and all day Sunday you may see sporting ; Haitians going about with a gaum 1 cock or two under their arms. There i are two rings In Port au Prince; i thousands of men gather there every Sunday afternoon and bet on their favorltles. Haitian cock fighting Is not a very brutal affair; the birds aren’t spurred. It is the custom for the owner of the losing rooster to cry quits before much damage Is done."

Wearing a dress coined from a rock drawing found In Altamira, Spain l^ady Warrenden appeared at a pageant of dress in London, and the most remarkable thing about this costume wus that it might Imve come from a fashionable modiste of today, so near to present-day fashion did il seem, according to the London Dally Graphic. Lady Warrenden’s frock was esti mated to represent fashion existent any time between 2U,IHK) and 200,000 years ago. One 'young lady wore a Spanish dancing frock believed to be a replica of one worn at least 200,000 B. C. Instead of (minting her arms and chest, she wore brown tights un der a little skirt of huff-colored cloth, covered with real plumage, and feath er anklets to match. Tiie Daily Graphic describes the at tire professing to copy that worn by Queen Boudicea (whose statue stands on Westminster bridge, close to tiie houses of parliament). This embraced a straight, full tunic, in royal blue woven doth, over a plaited tartan skirt, similar in character to those colors still worn by tiie highlander*. Round the tunic were hands of parti colored embroidery, while a graceful wrap of dark gray cloth \tas flung over the shoulders and fastened with a huge circular brooch. AMERICAN TREES IN GREECE New Verdure for Barren Hills Around Athens Expected to Influence the Annual Rainfall. Mrs. i‘. Martlneau, the expert on floriculture and tree planting, has Just returned to England from a visit to Atiiens. where she lias been advising the king and queen of the Hellenes in the culture and laying out of gardens. She has spent a good deal of time in California and has found that the drought-resisting trees and flowers of that country are particularly suited to Greek soil. The queen has formed a small soci ety among iier friends with tiie object nt furthering tree planting In the coun try. All the streets of Athens have been planted with pepper trees, the light green foliage, of which, with elus ters of berries, is very effective. Tiie pepper tree, an evergreen, is a native of California. Another tree seen there is tiie maritime pine, with which the queen hopes to clothe the hills of Greece as far as possible. Some of tiie small Dills surrounding Atiiens are already covered with this drought-re sisting tree,which is particularly suited to a soil which is practically lime and dust. Tiie maritime pine grows very quickly, and Mrs. Martlneau thinks that the covering of the hills around Athens may base the effect of bringing more rain. Incident Boys Will Long Remember. Trapped in the center of a railway bridge spanning Tessopeck creek, Fa., two boys, each aged twelve years, miraculously escaped death when they laid down between the rails and took chances with a limited train on the third rail system of the Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton railway pussing over them. They won. for the train went over them in safety and the boys were unhurt. The train came upon them so suddenly and either end of the bridge was so far away that to attempt escape by running would have meant death. To have Jumped thirty feet into the creek would have been equally perilous The engineer saw the boys^and sig naled to them to lie down between the rails The hoys cuddled as close as *hey could to the ties, turning their heads sideways, shut their eyes and prayed. Ideal Hoosisr Town. Jimmie Blue, former Hoosler, now of Denver, says Mount Comfort, Ind.. Is the Ideal town. A hungry tramp dropped off in Mount Comfort one bitter cold day. A diligent house to house canvass availed him nothing Cold and hungry, he walked to the intersection of the Big Four and Cum berland pike. He looked east, west north and south, then cast his eyes on the ground a forlorn expression on his face. The constable noticed him and, walk ing over, ventured to ask what the trouble might he. The tramp an swered, "Well, I've been In about every town in the country, but derned If this ain’t the first place I ever saw that was finished."—Indianapolis News. What the Red* Are Kicking At "You know what a difference a shave and a haircut make In your thoughts,’.’ observes the philosopher of the Type Metal Magazine, discoursing of social problems. “You sit in a bar ber’s chair, tired and depressed. A half hour later you get up, cheerful and optimistic, refreshed in mind and body. Suppose you shaved about once a week, bathed every other week, slept between dirty blankets in a room with 1 five other men, ate greasy, badly cooked food, and worked In a shop j that never had a thorough cleaning You might Join the ‘Reds’ and protest against the government, but you would really be protesting against dirt and bad food.’’ Breaking It Gently.

(Upstairs) Webster 2627 Extracts From Speeches in House Debate on the Dyer Bill Knowing how deeply interested our readers are in the Dyer Bill which has been passed by the House and is now before the Senate, The Monitor will publish in this and subsequent issues extracts from some of the pi in cipal speeches which were delivered in Congress during the prolonged de I bate on this measure. Extracts from speeches in the Senate will also be published when the discussion begins there. As to Its Constitutionality If the gentlemen opposing this bill wire so absolutely confident that the i Supreme Court of the United States j will certainly declare it null and void why filibuster against its passage; and try to prevent its enactment ? 1 'Vbat are yoU afraid of? I almost suspect that you are afraid the Su creme Court mm sustain the law.— ! Frederick W. Pallinger, Massachu setts. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen ot the committee- it seems to me that i this debate is bringing a great dea’ of extraneous matter into the Record. Tn view of the fate of the thirteenth,] the fourteenth and the fifteenth eon- 1 stitutional amendments in the South lit seems to me that my Democrati- ! friends should not now exhibit such great tenderness a- to whether this hill is constitutional or not. Nor does it seem to me that the hon orable gentleman (Mr. T,inthicom) who is afraid that it is going to create a supergovernment need con cern himself great)v about that in view of the record of his party, which is somewhat in favor of supe-govern ment >f we mav nidge it by the past. —rbarP, 1.. Knight, .Ohio, Those of us who oppose this legis- | lotion have taken the position that this hill is unconstitutional even un !cr that provision of the fourteenth | amendment. Poring this discussion some very' able arguments have been made airainst thr constitutionality of this bill in which it has been learlv shown that the hill is iincnn i stitutional. It would he unwise to enart it into law oven if it was con stitutional.—Morgan G. Sanders. Tex as. Would Increase Mob Rule I am opposed to this bill because it would increase mob violence by en couraging tbe crimes which are the most provocative of mob violence and which more than all things else com | bined create the conditions out of which mob violence as a punishment for other offenses arises. I am op nosed to this bill because tbe inter position of Federal power would les sen the sense of local responsibility and retard the growth of local purpose I to suppress mob violence. T am op posed to this bill liecause it is uncon stitutional ind appeals for support to the very spirit which it denounces —the spirit of disregard for law and the saeredness of the official oath.— I Summers, Texas. The Government’s Duty Tne Government that will not de fend its defenders, that will not pro tect those whom it compels to offer their lives to protect its interest, is j ! a disgrace to the family of nations, j and I hope that this Congress wil' help to wipe such a stain from our; flag and carrv out the purpose of those who drew and those who pro posed this amendment. When a state fails to punish those ] ; who commit mob murder it fails to afford due process of law and th" c-ual protection of tbe laws. Aside from immediate police protection which in most instances can not be vivon, the one method recognize-1 and relied on by every Government is the appropriate, the neeesary. and effective means for protecting persons against lawlessness is the punishment of those who violate law.—Andrew J. Volstead, Minne sota. Mob I.aw Must Be Ended Both my observation and my ’udgement lead me to believe that this legislation will go far toward removing this disgraceful and barbar ic practice. No man, though guilty should be killed until he has his dav in court. And we know that man' innocent persons have been burned j and hanged. Ijet us do our part to ! end this awful, indefensible practice. ■ Law and order should be encouraged. Mob law should be ended. The laws j of our Republic should be enforced 1 If equal prote<tion is not granted bv all States, then let the Federal Gov ernment intervene. That is what this | law is intended to do. I shall vote for i it.-—Israel M. Foster, Ohio. A BLOT ON NATION. I have listened with considerable interest to the arguments that have been made against the adoption of this legislation, but I have heard nothing offered by the opponents of the bill which would incline me to vote against the bill. I shall vote for the bill because I am in hearty sympathy and accord with its intents and purposes. The continued frequency of mob rule in tbe United States which usually culminates in tbe putting to death of tbe victim in many in stances in a most repulsive and bar barous manner is a blot and a stain on our country’s name and professed civilization, and such actions can not be justified under any circumstances. I believe this bill, when enacted into law, will have a jepry powerful moral effect upon tbe law officers the country. I can see no good rea son why there should be any oppo sition to it, for no one can consist ently condone the action of1 an Infu riated mob bent upon wreaking ven geance upon a helpless victim, too often without substantial proof of the guilt of the victim, anil in many instances carrying out the will of the mob in a manner far more gruesome I than the crime of which the victim is charged. —Isaac Bacharach, New Jersey. N VTION TIRED OF MOBS. We as a Nation know too well the efficacy of the orderly administration which lynchings are of frequent oc curence must learn now that the patience of liberty loving America is about exhausted. There are no “ifs” and “ands” about it. This bill, amended or unamended, wil pass, j and those communities can take the consequences or leave them alone The decision is up to them. (Ap plause.) There never was a case of mob violence, but that every personal safeguard, constitutional, legal, and moral, was overridden with heartless impunity. There never was a case of lynching but that every' law, so carefully woven into our civil fabric was defied and every element of orderly, organized government for the time was overthrown. John F. Miller, Washington. LOYALTY TO CO! N'TRY In the early morning of a spring Hay of 1918 healthy, manly colored boys began to assemble in Washing ton Square, New York City. Thou sands of them were formed in a mil-j itary procession and marched up Fifth Avenue amid the cheering of the multitude. The places of business I were decorated with the National emblem, and when they reached Mur ray Hill they were stopped in front ' of the Union Club, where the Gov ernor of the State desended, ac- ' companied by his official retinue,' and passed to this company of col ored troops their colors and said to them that they should bring them i back with honor. The survivors of this company, some of them having paid the su preme sacrifice, came hack to their eounttry, bringing the colors with honor.. They all offered their lives to save the world for democracy and to save the civil and personal free dom of every man, woman, and child in the United States. In the heart of hearts of these brave colored boys rested the hope that their acts of bravery would also free them and give them a little higher standing in tho community in which they lived. They had the hope that while they were fighting to make the world safe for democracy and save civilization they might also win a littl" freedom for themselves. What has been the record ? They were honorably dis charged from the service, and witHn one year from the time they were dis charged ten of their number were lynched, not one of the ten for rape. —Wm. Chalmers, Ohio. Origin of '‘Brazil." The country Brazil derived Its rinme from a red dye wood which abounds throughout the land. The Portuguese called the wood “bruza,” which means a live coal, and Brazil Is the form of the word applied to the whole country.
