That's in the line of moder

This news will interest farmer
and make their. wish sornebod;
could show them how to organize
The first thing, and absolutely nec
essary, is to organize and intensify
methods of production, An old
fashioned blacksmith could no
compete with a modern automobile
factory.
Childish talk of "necessary com
peitsation * and prattle about keeping
business ''o?i getting "too big" av?
out of date.
Where nations combine to mono
polize world business, great Ameri
can units must combine for self-defense.
Possibly some one will find a wax
to help our farmers from such s
combination. They need it.
The French settle down courageously
to the drastic new money rate.
Four-tilths of its value is cut from
their money as a result of a war
which vhey won. They face that situation
bravely.
In place of pane.- money, meaning
iittic to peasants and working
people, the French again will see
gold and silver coins in circulation.
The grossc piece, size and weight
of our silver dollar, will not dome
back. Worth five francs before the
war, it would he worth twenty- five
francs now. But ten-franc silver
pieces worlh forty cents will be
coined, and the French will feel
that they are working for real
money.
Stabilizing the franc is a boon to
al: Furopc, ending financial disorder
that has lasted ten years.

long list of brilliant French statesman.
Sir .lames Karrie tells Rhodes*
scholars not to try for "greatness,"
The advice was humorous, probably.
Trying for greatness produces desirable
mediocrity. Men "aim high to
shoot low" as the illiterate colored
man said when he "asked Grayer
Cleveland to make him librarian of
congress. He really wanted a job as
porter.
A baby cries for the moon and is
satisfied with a cooky. Youth reaches
for greatness and is content with
modest achievement and a place oil

L
Win field J'.. Sheehan, who knows
about moving pictures, says screens
will be much bigger for large sized
theaters now building everywhere.
That will make it necessary to revise
production methods.
Most important for budding
genius, he says the "talking movie"
will create a tier. army of scenario
? writers, knowing how to make
sound effective in pictures.
In a detc-etivc story, noise of a
creaking board, or a shot, might be
mure effective than the hero's smile.
Mr. Shoe hail believes that the pictures
with sound will double moving

In New York's brutal dancing
contest?the dance to go on until
all but one couple drop?the female
dancers, nervously "exhausted, slup
their partner's faces. Then the men
slap the women's faces vigorously.
The yahoos, called "fans," looking
on, shriek with delight, as the half
crazed dancers strike each other.
Such is our poor imitation of the
Roman arena:
