A Dawes Paragraph.
Not Reading, Thinking.
Love Me, or Die.

mmj The best paragraph about Mars
'Was written by Frederick Landis.
^£ere it is:
— "British Colombia thinks sho
picked up a wireless from Mars.
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.
There are '.otter ways of doing
B/crything thr.i tre ways now in
ti " pr„ /ably
But it is important to find and
thoroughly experiment with the
better way before you destroy the
eld one.

divers found a million and a quar
ter of gold in an unexpected place.
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.
Thousands of tons of “liquid
gold” are in the water through
which steamers plow as they go
back and forth. Some day men
may retrieve it.
The Society for the Prevention

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. However, the cler
