Today Tlic Baby tyummy. “But Not for Love.” How Many Thoughts? Dehipsey Studies Span ish. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ ,i [ Three morals in this news: ! “Mr. Sterling, a United States iethnologist, digs up a mummy 1 Indian baby in South Dakota. For one full grown Indian found, there were three dead babies. Show that to friends who advise you to ‘bring up your child according to •nature.’ ” That's how Indian chil ■!; dren arc raised and killed. The baby mummy wore copper ornaments, dug up just as fresh us when they were buried, thou sands of years ago. If they had put iron ornaments on that baby, nothing would be left. Use copper ;'!‘instead of iron, when you can. |' Finally, what would that baby , Indian mummy have said if told ( 1 ji'that the governor of South Dakota il:j’was selling gasoline to the people _ at 1(1 cents a gallon to break down <f’imonopoly? It would have said: •;;■• “That’s wrong, it's paternal ■ ism.” Some white men know, now, as little as that Indian baby knew. David Belasco says Franklin I, Sargeant, successful dramatic . teacher, killed himself for love of n Mary Anderson. She married ■somebody else years ago; he hadn’t seen her since. None the less he grieved, mourned, died. I _ So says Belasco. Shakespeare says “Men have died, and worms ■'have eaten them, but not for love.” Dante lost Beatrice; she also mar ried somebody else. Dante was satisfied to give her the most im portant place in paradise next to the Trinity and the queen of heaven, while he lived on. Shakespeare probably was right, Mr. Belasco wrong. . Men are too selfish to kill themselves for love. In addition, they enjoy contem plation of their devotion, and sor rows. “Nothing is so daintily sweet as lovely melancholy.” Our rising and falling genera tion, in July, last, smoked almost 6,000,000,000 cigarets. The war killed off beer and wine, through prohibition enthusiasm and estab lished the cigaret on a permanent, respectable basis. Our heroes were rolling their own, or buying them rolled. It was unpatriotic to criticize them. Young gentlemen tell you. “I think better wllen I smoke.” How many original thoughts went with the 6,000,000,000 cigarets, do you suppose? One for every 10,000 - 000? Doubtful. But don’t criticize tobacco Men must be foolish, and tobacco is the east harmful folly. Jack Dempsey is studying Span ish. to eompiiment or insult Firpo, according to cir umotances, when , they meet in the prize ring. Firpo \ can already say “knock your block off ” Nothing like education. An old saying goes: “Spanish is the language of heroes, Italian of lovely women, French of diplomacy, English and German the language of horses.-’ That was a Latin opinion. Dempsey will be amazed at the power and the beauty of Spanish, and he will find Cervantes’ Knight | »f The .Mirrors a most amusing character—and not unlike a mod ,' ern prize fighter. Gifford Pinchot offers an eight hour day and 10 per cent increase for coal miners. The public will approve. It means less than GO ; cents increase per ton. The United States coal commissioners report that between the mine and con- i ■; Turner there were “four whole ale purchasers and profits,” in ad- | dition to the profits of mine own , ers, retailers and railroads. ; ,'j The Call. New York’s only so i cialist newspaper, printed in Eng- j lish, gives up the ghost and is taken over by union labor. So cialist newspapers are not exact ly “newapapers,” propaganda be ing mixed with each news item For instance, "Mr. Astorbilt is dead. He gorged himself on the tears of the women and children.” The statement is not true, exactly, and besides, when Astorbilt dies, the ordinary man wants to know » how much money he left, how ■ many times he was divorced, who gets his money. Newspapers that can’t keep news and propaganda separate suffer. (Copyright, 1*23 > Paul Frauen, Pioneer of Merrick Counly, Expires fcpeclMl Olspsteh to The Omaha Bff.

American Legion " She Likes All1 Greeting Legionnaire* With Smile and Finding Jobs for Them I* “Diversion.” “The sweetheart of the American Legion,” is the title of Miss Esther Perkins, secretary to Adjutant Harry C. Hough, and ' sweetheart” has be come her official designation. She won it, as Mary Pickford won her title, by being about the sort of per son every man dreams of for a sweet heart. Her smile and greeting In s re markably soft voice have a way of brightening up the somewhat bare le gion rooms in the court house, the boys say. She knows the men jm the legion by name. She hunts up jobs for them when they are out of work and hunts them up when the job puts in an appearance. She laughs with them when they are happy, hears their troubles and cheers them when they are blue. And the ex gob who takes her out to a legion party thinks himself extremely lucky. She doesn't like one better than an other, she says, she is just sweet heart to them all. Miss Perkins has been at the legion headquarters for a year.
