Today 1100,000 to $30,000. A Dawes Paragraph. Not Reading, Thinking. Love Me, or Die. By ARTHUR BRISBANE __/ /— If you want to be on Davis or j J.a Follette, G. B.

There were four dashes, ending with an emphatic ‘aipp.’ What she picked up was probably just a statement by General Dawes." The World Federation of Educa tion Associations organizes a world war against illiteracy. For this war the crown prince of Japan has appropriated a million yen. China has adopted the slogan, “China a literate nation in one generation.” It is preposterous that any hu Inan beings, outside of actual bar barism, should grow up unable to kead. w But teaching them to read and ^rite is only the first step. The pext is teaching human beings to think, which is considerably more jdifhcult and important. It isn’t what you read that counts. It’s what you think after you read ■hat improves government and civ ilization. In Lisbon, not a big city, but inhabited by Portuguese that fee! ntensely, there were 29 murders >a»ed on “love” in the month of uly. “Love me or die,” was the1 knotto of 29 wen and women, each pf whom killed his or her unrespon sive adored one. It is hard for those in whom the blood runs quietly to realize tohat being thwarted in love means So some high-strung human beings. For instance, Thomas Bibona, Stamford, Conn., rejected by a young girl who didn’t like him, de cided to kill himself. This is what lie did, try to imagine it: He parked his little sedan car a fchort distance from the city, soak ed the upholstery with gasoline, cot in and set fire to the car and aimself. He fought savagely against the farm hands that tried to rescue fcim, was dragged out unconscious pnd died in the hospital. kw »’>ecky says, in his “Study of (European Morals,” that nobody has a right to mock the drunkard lying in the gutter, for no one can know what that drunkard has gone through. That's true also of the unfortunate young person burning himself alive in his gaso line-soaked sedan. Nature seems to have overdone the intensity of certain emotions. Bonfils of Denver sent a frail young genius, Miss Fay King, to review a play, and she attacked it savagely. Bonfils said, kindly, “Honey, review ’em, don’t reform 'em.’’ He was older and knew that “criticism is easy, but art is difficult.” In Chicago, the livestock mar ket is demoralized. The Wilson & Co. receivership, which is to be temporary and technical, frightens the cattle men, and the best ani mals will be withdrawn from the market “until after Labor day.” Great enterprises when you staxt to “reform ’em” should be handled carefully. Russia, when she started to make money ridiculous—which she did with a vengeance—and put Bn end to private profits, discov ered it is easier tc tear down than to build up.

Gold would be cheaper than sil ver or copper If science could find a way to extract the gold of the ocean, not sunk m wrecks, but car ried in the salt water.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will now look into the use of monkeys as texts in the pulpit. It appears that the clergyman and the congrega tion had a good time, but the mon key suffered a severe mental strain. Taken alive to the pulpit to be used as a text on evolution, searchlights beating on the monkey, frightened him so that it was necessary to take him out. Stuffed qjonkeys will probably be used hereafter.
