. i President Coolidge has taken to a pince-nez. He aban
doned his good old black-rimmed specg for the' new nose
glasses on a cord for the first time, in public at the Pan
. American building when he read his formal conversation
with President Calles over the long distance phone. What
may have been the basic reasons comfort, looks or per
suasion by the optician which led to the change, we have
; no way of knowing. And probably the White House spokes
man' will never tell us. Hut it looks as if he were getting
ready to put on the heavy dignity somehow expected of pur
ex-presidents.
f Major Chester P. Mills, former prohibition administrator
for New York, who doubtless, learned something about booze

' ports that analysis of 480,000 gallons of alcohol by govern

JlnvlMi the charm of the niiiht clubs is worth the extra 90' 43v,c: nrime firsts, 4
cents out of the dollar paid by their patrons. The patrons
evidently think so. Fundamentally this modern drink is
democratic enough the same poison for everybody, even
though the rich and the spendthrift middle-class folk don't
think so. It will kill a millionaire ns quick as a pauper.
TRUTH IN HISTORY
: ' There are enough real evils in the world to combat with
out wasting time and energy on imaginary ones. The Na
tional Americanization Committee of the Veterans of For-1
eign Wars is said to be considerably exercised at present over
& history text in use in some public schools. The book is
"Modern History" by Profs. Carlton J. II. Hayes and Parker
Thomas Moon.
' The New York World has looked into this text nnd finds
that it does tench some of the things objected to. For ex
ample, it teaches that Americans used "British institutions
and theories of representative government" in framing their
new government ; that the doctrines of the Declaration "were
not new or original" but had previously been develojied by
1icke and other English political philosophers.
If such charges are the worst that can be brought against
the "Modern History," its opixmont.s ai taking offense where
none is given. What has gone before in history, inevitably
. influences what comes after. There is no disgrace, no lack
of patriotism, no ignorance in admitting that the founders
of this nation knew the most advanced political thought of
their time and drew upon the theories of outstanding think
ers in building the framework of government.
Not so long ago the complaint was that American history
was a sugar-coated exposition of pleasant myths, like the
Washington cherry tree yarn. A big effort was made to
Inject more authenticated facts and truth into it. Possibly
the happy medium has nut yet been reached in our text
liooks, yet certainly steps in the right direction are taken by
any work that shows backgitiunds and causes as well as
effects.
