Only the "suckers" bite on the "line" that the flapper throws into the social swim.
CHARACTER LIVES
When the quarrels of nations are forgotten and the feeling of strife and competition is laid aside, character may be viewed in its true light and the greatness of character so lives that never more may it be doubted. So lives the memory of George Washington today, acknowledged by all as one of the greatest of all time, a savor of a nation, an ideal of a people.
As happens to all great leaders, he was criticised greatly by contemporaries; but with a perspective of but a quarter of a century after his great work, foreign nations mourned with America for the loss of her leader, England's channel fleet lowered its flags to half mast and France did homage to the passing of a great man.
But with the lapse of more time comes the test, and still all nations do him honor, including England, against whom he led the colonies, the cherished home of his ancestors.
It was his unemotional persistence in well doing that won success for him; it is the memory of that well doing that makes him live on through the centuries.
Tomorrow we celebrate his anniversary. In the custom of the American age we pay him the greatest honor, we lay aside our every day duties to him pay him homage. And well should we remember his contribution to America and cherish him as Napoleon expressed it as "the warrior, the legislator, the citizen without reproach."
Investigations show that in the last few years 95 per cent of the women who shot their husbands wore their hair long. The poor bubbles probably made the mistake of refusing to let them bob it.
IN THE VALE OF KINGS
Those who are excavating the tomb of Pharaoh Tut-ankh-Amen in Egypt are denounced as "grave robling foreigners" by Sir A. Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and famous spiritualist, in an interview.
It appears, too, that many in the United States have views similar to Sir Conan's. Numerous people think it is little short of sacrilege to dismember the body of the king from the dust-covered sarcophagus where it has lain for centuries; there are others who think the excavation is all right but that the relics should be left in the tomb instead of being taken away to some museum to be gaped at by the crowds.
Yet those 'grave robbing foreigners are contributing mightily to the none too great archeological knowledge of ancient Egypt. Papyrus in this tomb in the Valley of the Kings may reveal much that science has long desired to know. The interesting transition of religion from polytheism to monotheism may become revealed; biblical history that is at present in dispute may be vindicated or disproved once and for all; the wonderful art of embalming that the ancients knew may become known once more; the advanced civilization of a period one thousand years before Christ may be revealed by the excavations of these foreigners.
If it had been left to the Egyptians to do the excavating it probably would have never been done. It is a fact that all the marvels of the world, which people travel thousands of miles to see, are almost completely ignored by those who live near them. The chief excavations in Egypt have been done by French, English and Germans. Had it not been for "grave robbing foreigners" the civilization of a wonderful age would have been lost to us of today.
Whether the relies be carried away or left in the tomb, the fact remains that the world's store of historical knowledge will have been enriched by the excavators when their labors are completed.
French cannon may blast German hopes, but they can't blast coal out of the ground.
THE GREATEST
There is always a fight being waged among different factions as to who is the "greatest American." An attempt to determine that personage is silly. There is no possible means of gauging the comparative value of different men to the country, though undoubtedly there are men sufficiently outstanding in the history of the United States to be classed as the greatest Americans. But no two of them lived in the same time and under the same conditions.
Washington lived in a time of formation and organization, but we have no proof to say that he would have been equally as great had he been coping with the problems of Roosevelt or Lincoln. Nor have we any assurance that either of the latter men would have been able to successfully bring the United States thru the agonies of birth. Each of us does, beyond a doubt, think more highly of some outstanding figure in our history than we do of others, but none of us is in position to measure the relative value of such men to our country.

"JAWBONE" BONUS
Great numbers of World War veterans are mortgaging their state bonuses right to loan sharks at outlandish discount or rates of interest, it is said. These service man, many of whom need — or think they need—the money badly, are selling their copyright for a mess of cabbage, as O Henry said. They are mortgaging themselves for an indefinite sum, for just how large a bonus each man will receive has not been determined; they are making an asset of what should be considered a liability.
This resembles the old game of jawbone poker, which was always quite popular in the army shortly before played jawbone they kept count by chips, matches and the like, agreeing to settle the score payday. It was often the case that those who indulged in this sport owed all the pay they had coming when that memorable day arrived. Consequently, they could not go to town and celebrate with the rest of the boys who were more prudent or more lucky; they sat around in the Sibiley tents and jawboned against the next payday. And when the next payday came 'round, it was the same old story repeated for many of them.
The man who is to share in the Kansas bonus should consider that money as a "velvet;" he should so arrange his finances that the bonus money will not even be considered for anything. The people of Kansas have declared themselves in favor of the bonus, and the legislature has passed an enabling act, but much remains yet to be done. It is not known just when payments will begin or end; it has not been determined what the maximum shall be.
It is hoped that few will give loan sharks chances to make 25 per cent profit. The man who could have managed not to starve had not the bonus passed can assuredly get along without it for awhile now that it has passed. It is best never to spend money until you actually have it to spend.

"There is deep-seated in every manly breast a determination not to be, or at least not to appear to be interested in anything that any teacher, lecturer, or preacher may say, and it is merely masculine to register this obscure impulse in any way short of audible grouches," says Robert M. Gay in his article upon *The University of Delaware* February Atlantic Monthly. Students are due University say that the tendency of men to sink into the back rowa is more than likely a result of this natural aversion.
The bright fellow who made fourteen hours of D's last semester, and "funked" gym, (Hurray!) shout the three hundred), says, "You have probably noticed a serious epidemic that begins every year. It appears during initiation week, when many are giving others the grip!"
An organization is about to be formed at the University of Wisconsin, of men who pledge not to marry college women. It will be known as the "Married Students." This organization is intended primarily to influence men in the University against chasing a woman student for a wife. The reasons stated is that such marriages are apt to divorce or unhappy home relations.
