But it was a speech that the London Times printed verbatim to the extent of four full columns, a speech that was cabled round the world, a straight, simple. whimsical message to youth, to the men of tomorrow, thoroughly Barrleish. inciting them to a peaceful rebellion against their "betters." "Youth has too long been left in the hands ot its betters in national affairs," he told them. "You ought to league youth as your practical beginning." . . . .

If any one was at fault, it was Dr. Harry Lane . And he continued to buy goods in the open market from Gilbert & Patterson as long-as he was superintendent of the asylum; about four yeara after the imaginary incident of the poor quality of corn meal. 1 The writer believes now and believed then that there was never any fault at all with the corn meal; that Dr. Lane through some Queer freak of his mind or temper, imagined it.

"If you prefer to leave things as they are we shall probably fail you again. Do not be too sure that we have learned our lesson and that we are not at this very moment doddering down some brimstone path." And so he warns them that age Is not necessarily another name for wisdom, but that the future is theirs. And to meet that fu ture "You will have to work harder and possibly not so much at the same things. You'll have to know more of modern lan guages if you are to discuss the league of youth with the students of other nations," and "Doubtless the Almighty could have provid ed us with better -fun than hard work, but I don't know what that is. To be bora poor is probably the next best thing." At this point he interpolated stories of his own hard beginnings including actual hunger, knowing no one, without means "So I had the fun of working until the stars went out." And always his theme was courage." "Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.'' And so in stirring youth up to not lie to them, but they distrust cur flattery."

Living youth wrestling with living age to win from its wicked old Ideals its futility, its cruelty, its base Injustice to the youth of the world. For always the mistakes of age must be paid for by youth. age, which means well but never learns, age that makes war to harrow the souls and shed the blood of youth. Age, which sits always in the seats of the mighty and so grievously wields its pow er. Age which, "when you come to the i evening of your days, you will realize that we are all fail ures, at least all but the best of us. That speech should oe a tre mendous inspiration to youth.

It is not easy to solve, and the tine thing about it is that .it can be changed in such a way as to contuse any one who thinks he has theey. V ' ' . Let'a pretend you are. a spy in the camp of the enemy. You have managed to conceal a car rier pigeon toV send; a message v back to the aide you are working for. You can't write this message out In plain English, ; because there la too much danger of .the pigeon getting into, the hands of the'enemy. So you have a code that yon have rgreed upon with r the people with whom you are working, ou will write the mes- ... , eage r in this code,' in very small t letters, and fasten It Inside the wing of the pigeon. : ... - - r.. 'Forming the Code . . . Suppose what ycin want "to say Is; "The enemy Js in full retreat. Strike, now." i Yoo go off to , a place - where1 you can write out tbe code message safely by you r- selL ( Firsts you write down" aU r" thSk letters "of the alphabet in auc- ceeklon.' Then you write out the message which you wish ; to put into the code. r Next you put dowaf theh key numbers for the code."' - s,v; These key numbers may be i . numbers In any order, Just so you andihe I person you are working with at the other end have a clear understanding as to what those numbers are.i . Let's suppose you've decided on 87921 as the five numbers' for your key. You then write these numbers above the lettera ot your message: Us ing the message given above, the figure 8 goes over. the. letter T, 7 over H, 8 over K, 2 over E, and 1 over N. Then you start in with the number succession all over; 8 over the E, 7 over M and so on repeating the. letters until yQU come to the end of the sentences. Making the Message ' You are now ready to put your message into code. It's very sim ple. Above the letter T you have the figure 8. You . then count eight letters ot the alphabet from T, and you have the code letter. Do you see? . Take your pencil an1 point to the letters of the alphabet which you have written out. v After T you count U. V. W. X, Y, and Z. But that Is only six letters, and you are to count eight. So you start at the beginning of the al phabet. The seventh letter , will then be A and the eighth is B. Therefore, B is the' first letter, in your code message. . Proceed, just,, like .this to get the -next .letter. The next one Happens to be 11 and the number above it is 7. You count forward seven letters from II and the let- DAILY; PICTURE PUZZLE I CAN YOU ftAMC IVvietie TrVtJlhjOWtAS tsa 5outiori "to UlS pu?z!e Appear s: tomorrcv ter you get Is Q. This makes the second letter, of the code. It's easy to finish up. When you get through you have the following succession of letters, whitten close together: Pongomthcsmpw hvtsaguxljvtbyrmfvvt." ' Doesn't look like much of anything, does it? ' Now If you toad received this code message first, you would have gone about solving it in much the same way. You would number the letters as you did in making up the code, putting b above b, 7 above O, and so on. Then you would simply count back the number of letters indicated. That Is, when B is 8 you count back through A, Z, Y, X, W.-V, U, T. The eighth letter is T, and is therefore the hidden letter of the first message. If some one gels hold of some of youf secret messages, and you are afraid they may manage, it they're clever enough, to get hold ot your key, it's a yery simple matter to change the code. Ydu and your partner merely change the key numbers,, Instead of 87' 321, you might choose 46352 With this change, the letters used in writing-the same message would be entirely different. A code like this, where you can make your own key. is an "hon est-to-goodness secret. Secret signals grips and pass words are part of every club. Maybe your bunch has worked out a system of its own.

He urged them not to be too hard on their betters. "We are nice, kind ly people, but it is already evid ent that we are struggling back into the old grooves. We are too Old for any others, that is the fun damental difference between you and us." But he warns that "We have no intention of giving you your share. See how much of share youth has now that the war is over. You got a handsome share while it lasted." Stupidity and jealousy, more than love of money are. said Sir jaraes, the root of all evil and sc "Go through life without ever ascribing to your opponent motves meaner than your own. Nothing so lowers morale as Jealousy. Give it up. Be great." He wants youth to send a mes sage of cheer to their brothers that fell in the war, the only mes sage they crave that they did not die in vain. "Some of them think they did.

The wife says that the husband has deserted her and the husband says it was the wife's nagging that did it. Seems as if a man who had stood a bit ot nagging for half a century should be able to hold a little longer and save his record. But it looks as if the divorce idea has spread into all corners and that no one is really exempt. NOTICE On account of delays in making and assem bling the new.
