In 1919 he wrote the Belgian government, .Baying: ' "During the last four years of association with the Bcl- - gians, and from the discussions with my colleagues In the Comite National, with the members of the , government and the universities and the public, it has become evident that no more democratic service could be rendered to the Belgian peo ple than that these funds should be applied to the extension of higher education in Belgium. The war and the recent eco nomic situation have demonstrated the extreme importance or the'widest distribution of higher education amongst all classes, esncciallv those of limited means. In order to make this end. necessary. . ' "1 To undertake such measures as win open me m&u- who'g DUsv lookimr for a him. 4i.tir.na nf liio-hor lonrnino- to the hons and dauehters of those. My goodness, I'm sure gild I'm done, mm now i ii.ipv you iwiuw uk one Who writes the pesky Office Cat And makes up jokes so nice and pat. I ll tell you ere you make a raid, Some of our jokes are ready-made And, like the ready-made you buy They make you cuss and make you sigh. So, if the writer is a he You see how foolish men can be And, if a female, to have' peace They have the sense that God (rives geese. I thank you folks, and lift my hat To the one who writes the Office Cat. New York hftels are sjiid to have $5,000,000 worth of whiskey left over; still, that isn't so mtich, when one stops to think it over. That Hat! Our Office Cat, the poor ofd Jeur, Some people think i.s awful queer, 'Who writes it?" Yes, I think I'll tell, Though he won't like it very well. Now, in this ofice we' are six. All steady, and not up to tricks: .Our Editor, so dignified, lie couldn't write it if he tried; With problvma far more we'.ghty. he Works daily, so that lets Hire free. Our Kditress, calm and sedate, Works .ll day long, and often latj. Her head is filled up with real nwa, She does not like our poor cat's views. Our Advertising Man, oh, gee, He just knows ads from A to Z, An ad's an ad and is no joke. Unless the advertiser's broke. Our City Man is full of pen, He jazzes 'round the town, you bet, And gathers murders, scand.il., too And that's enough for him to do. Our bookkeeper would never write The Office Cat, so impolite; She is so quiet and serene She could not write those th'.ngs so mean. The Circulation Man's a she. She write the Cat ? That could not be For she's an old maid, sour and grim who have not the means to undertake the expense of such high er training, and '. "2 To strengthen the financial resources of the institu. tions themselves not only so that, they may render more cfl'i c(ent service to the community as a whole, but also that they may undertake the additional burden of this increased at tendance." ' ' ; The practical arrangements made to carry out this pro gram provide' loans for 2,000 Belgian boys and . gins annually. Ten years after leaving college are allowed for repayment. In addition there are 48 exchange 'fellowships available each year, 24 for American students-in. Belgium" and 24 for Belgian stu dents in' tho United States. At present.there pre, 24 Belgian students one young woman and 23 young men studying in 11 universities in this country. ,. " ' Surplus war relief fupds in this country have been much discussed and various proposals as to wise use of them have been piade. It would be fine if some plan as simple and as valuable as the Belgian educational program could be settled upon. ' ' . tul' nuivrc nc tmnr fna 1 ulshed foreigners visiting this courv try will soon be added the most cele- .DfaUd master-Kanibler of this or any dthei1 time. Ho is Albort, Prince of Monaco, whose entire prinelpnllly a town of fight square mile is otic great gambling institution. . - Albert is no gambler personally only In a business way. Neither are his people. He takes good care o that, In the paternalistic fashion that, royalty still has in some corners of the world. T.hero Is a law in Mop aco forbidding citizens to gamble, and it is strictly enforced. ' Albert uses a larga p.irt of . ilie proceeds of his princely, gambling joint in paying the expenses of th realm and keeping Inn people f'e'e from taxation. The rest lie spends in scientific research of a peculiarly use ful and picturesque sort. ' The thing that really interests this master-g inibler is oceanography. He has a big yacht fitted out with all aorts of scientific apparatus, and spends most of his time studying the various seas and collecting valuable and interesting T.cts about i th.-ir depth,, currents and tide, mid the life' that inhabits them. His coiitri butjons have added greatly' to human ' knowledge and done much to advance radical navimtion. He is an odd mixture, this little oil man who combines one of tno most pernicious institutions on earth with an important philanthropic seniej. Americans will grem bun. according ly, with a hvn.folJ interest and iifi gestcd that If pilots were trained in this work, every flight, of great or little importance, could serve for col lecting necessary1 data and compiling useful Observations. Hence meteor ology bids fair td be added to the list of the pilots accomplishments. .' All this speciallintion will mor.n longer and more expensive training for the airmen, but it will also mean greater safety in flying and steady advancement of the science of aerial navigation. The postal savings banks of the country are becoming quite a healthy institution, the small deposits now aggregating the sum of $161,000,000. There is no fear of a run on Uncle's bank. . As one of the first moves toward patching up the torn world, we would suggest mending tho rents. TRAINING AIU 1'ILOTS Mutiaehusetts has denounced high heels but continues to. rout for high brows.

Of course, there are exceptions, but one can usually spot an honest man by the fringe on hia trousers. . To Kipling, an American wrote: ".Hearing that you are retailing lit erature at $1.00 a word, I enclose $1.00 for a sample." . Kipling complied with 'Thanks, and kept the dollar. Two , weeks later the American wrote,- "Sold the 'Thanks' anecdote for $2.00.
