Today Hear Blanco Ibanez. The, Wise Quakers. The Grave Does Not , Count. Let the Ox Chew. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Blasco Ibanez, able Spaniard, dining last Tuesday with Ray Long, a magazine editor, said—he doesn’t speak any English—^"Pour moi le plus joli endroit de la terre c’est Los Angeles.” That sample of Blasco Ibanez's first-class French with a strong accent of the Midi means “For me, the most beautiful place on the earth is Los Angeles.” Ho added, “I am glad I don’t speak English, for I want to travel all over the earth and see every corner of it. If I spoke English, I should settle down in Los Ahgeles, and stay there for the rest of my life.” Los Angeles real estate agents, take notice. 1 The Quakers will undertake to feed 2,000,000 half-starved Ger man children this winter. That’s a pleasant contrast to “civilized” na tions gathering to sec what they can get from Germany. Philanthropy is a work that sounds ridiculous in a civilization that murders tens of millions in the name of honor, and then saves a handful in the name of mercy. But the Quaker’s benevolent in vestment a good one, apart from charity. All the money that will be spent to feed those children is less than the amount by which Steinmetz, who died lately, increased the wealth of the United States with his one brain. What will be the total value of the thousands of German children that will be saved by the admirable work of the Quakers? Bonar Law will lie in Westmin ■ter Abbey. American tourists 60 years from now will look at his grave and ask: “Who in Heaven's name was that?” as they pass on to the place where Pitt and his father, Chatham, lie in the same grave. Bonar Law’s family will be pleased, that’s what the burial is for. > - They dug up Cromwell and (fuck his head on a spear for everyone to laugh at and let it adually go to pieces. They dug u l and scattered the dust of Vol t|«re. But men of that kind, real men, don’t need burial in West minster Abbey. There wouldn’t b$ room in any building for names at. big as theirs. Vegetarians, and especially those super - enthusiasts th. patiently chew raw vegetables, please read. The government shows that it takes six pounds of grain and six pounds of hay to produce one pound of lamb, 10 pounds of hay and 10 pounds of corn to make a pound of beef. Five and one-half pounds of com will produce a pound of pork—which means that the animal eating the grain or hay will produce the meat. Doesn’t common sense tell us that it is wise to let the o with no important work on hand, use his time and energy digesting 10 pounds of hay and 10 pounds of corn, and then hand on to us the result in one condensed pound of beef? • _ If you must keep a cat, please in the name of Audubon and com mon sense, keep the animal locked up, at least in winter time. A learned ornithologist shows that cats kill 10,000,000 birds in this country every year. How many billion harmful insects do you sup jfbse those birds would have de stroyed had they been allowed to live? Keep cats indoors at least. In summer, field mice and other things take their minds partly off the birds. A witty pditor says of the state ment that Ford will not run: “Perhaps Henry realizes that the motoring public knows the differ ence between a Lincoln and a Ford.” _ Ford’s reply might be that both Lincoln and Ford are included in his output. The probability is that he would say: “I am doing one thing well, and it’s got to be done. If I undertook to do another thing, I’d have to stop what I am doing now and I might make a failure of the other job in Washington.” If he did say that he would be a wise Henry Ford. The government learns that taxes on sales of jewelry haven’t been paid. Careful watch is being made, “also with regard to house hold furniture, libraries and musi cal instruments.” Could you imagine anything more barbarous, more worthy of a Congo savage than putting a tax on the sale of household furniture, and especially on the sale of librar ies and musical instruments? Why not tax a child two cents every time it says its prayers? Reading a good book or hearing good music is the next best thing to praying. The plan to cut Germany up into many harmless little pieces isn’t working as smoothly as it'was a few days ago. The British an nounce that they don’t approve it. They have soldiers in the Cologne region and say they won’t allow any separation foolishness there. In everything concerning Eu rope the Interests of France and England are opposed. France, for peace of mind and safety, would like Germany to be cut in small pieces, ready to be eaten at any moment and never dangerous. England, for its safety's sake, doej not want an all-powerful France dominating the entire Eu ropean continent. The French are determined, warlike, efficient. The English have real statesmen and they are deep. '/CopyrlifO. 1923.) Three Nebraska Missionaries on Leave at Mission Meeting Irfft to right: Mrs. A. L. Wilson, Miss Susan W. Orvis, Miss Stella Loughridge. Three Nebraska missionaries on furlough are featured at the inter state coference of the mission board now in session at First Central Con gregational church. They are Mrs. A. L. Wilson, Yenchlng college, Pe kin, formerly of South Omaha; Miss Susan W. Orvis, Talas Turkey, from Roseland, Neb., and Miss Stella Loughrldgo, also of Talas, who went from Lincoln. The Chinese flapper is the special delight of Mrs. Wilson. She tells of a revolt in a mission school in Pe kin, when the girls sent a student deputation to the teachers and an nounced that the students intended to bob their hair, because girls in America were doing it. So bob it they did. Friendliness was aroused; even, among the Turks, by M sa Orvis' ef forts to get 3,000 Armenian oitihans and school children from Talas to the coast shortly after the Smyrna mas sacres. Permission had been given to get the children out of the coun try and ship them to a less troubled part of the world, but first they had to be taken over 200 miles of road infested by band.ts, part of it leading through the Taurus mountains. Miss Orvis drove ahead to provide food and shelter for the caravan or children. To her amazement, she found everyono eager to help "the American children" as the little Ar menian school girls were called. In one village the Mohammedan priest all but ins sted on housing the chil dren in the village mosque, and in another the entire population turned out to police a stretch of bandit liauted road until the caravan should have passed. On her return from Turkey, Miss Stella Loughrldge went on a pllgrinf age to find the Armen an girls from mission schools who had survived the massacres and deportations during the war and who had found refuge in this country. She pictured many of these girls, who hod been sold into slavery or left for dead along the Turkish roade, now living useful and happy lives In this country.
