Sensible Suggestions :
The Clarion, published by the students of the Ssilem high
school, has some sensible suggestions concerning reform of
student customs, which coming from members of the student
body, may receive a consideration that would be denied from
other sources. It suggests that high school social functions
start not later than 8 o'clock in the evening instead of 9
o'clock as at present and that those attending be home by
11 :30 o'clock instead of after midnight. The Clarion remarks
Wo are out much later than we want to he and ought to be
Every right thinking and natural parent objects to this. Wo nil
know that "we enn save our mothers and fathers a lot ol unneces
aary and uncalled for worrying by starting those functions at least
one hour earlier. Many arguments could be given condemn
ing tho practice of being out late on the stroets. None should be
necessary. We all have sense enough to realize that the practice is
InUefeuslblo. Let's use a little horso sense and save ourselves ccn
ure and our parents unnecessary worry and apprehension.
Adoption and adherence'to this proposal would not only
relieve the anxiety of parents and be beneficial to the
students, but produce a favorable reaction in the public at
large.
Another editorial suggestion the Clarion advances in con
nection with this subject is for the holding of high school
dances under regulation of school authorities in high-school
buildings, adding .
The movement is now on In all our larger cities to furnish the
youth of the country the pleasures that tiiey crave and which it
denied them under proper supervision they .will seek somo other
way. Portland finds that this must be done ofll is now
organizing to conteract tho evil influences of the public dance bulls.
' If our high school was opollcd to us for dances properly supervised,
it would havo a wholesonio effect. Parents would be saved a lot of
heart burnings and tho students given that wholesome support that
could not help but be morally beneficial.
On this subject the Clarion exhibits mote common sense
than the school board has in the past, for young people are
going to dance anyway and far better that they do under
parental and teacher supervision in school buildings than run
wild in public dance hulls as many of them are doing.
It is a hopeful sight when youth recognizes short-comings
and voluntarily initiates reform.
Debt Settlement
In the Italian debt settlement, Mussolini offered the
United States J1.17 for each dollar owed, which was 'accepted
as highly satisfactory to the administration as well as Italy,
to the former becnuse it was all it could get, and the latter
because it was all it would pay.
In the negotiations with tho French commission for set
tlement, Cuillaux offered the United States $1.55 for every
dollar France owed, and the administration refused it. As a
result Caillaux lost his place in the cabinet and the fall of
the French franc threatens a bankruptcy precipitating an
international financial crisis, and the United States will be
lucky if it gets anything.
The British terms, announced three months ago called
for the payment of $2.41 for each dollar owed us but does
anyone think that wiLh tho Italians paying $1.17 the British
, or i'rench either, will pay any more?
No one can judge tho capacity of any of these nations to
pay half a century hence, but a settlement of some kind,
whether lived-up to or not, is essential to restore tranquility
and establish a basis for reconstruction. But the key to the
situation is the French settlement, and the administration's
bungle has made a bad matter worse, if not hopeless.

delicate, frail nojtllKees, smart
aporla clothes, Mio ordered them all
lavishly, and Mario sat back as if
In tho hands of Vate, accepting all
that was Riven her. She had pro
tested at flint un:ll she saw what a
gcod time Caroline wns havhiff, and
how hurt Bho would ho If Mario
refused her gifts.
"Madame Ilenrlctto Is holding up
eonio of Janny'a things In order to
make (Jkmo dinner dresses for
you," she told Mario Jubilantly
Monday nt luncheon. 'Jn't that
funny r Janny watted till the last
minute fur aomo of hrn, because
Atylca are changing no rapidly now
and as a result ahe won't have
hers In time. She was at llemiot
ten when I was there, this morn
lng. They're using the same man
nc'iuln to fit her things and yours
on; the girl la Just your size nnd
Jiwt here nt that amusing?
Really, I thing It nwfulty funny
that Billy should marry two wo
men who are so much alike In so
many ways, nnd yot so different,
Now Marie, don t look sad; your
llfo nnd Janny'a will keep crossing
forever, because you belong In the
' same layer of the world: wSy, like
u not you and Rob will be din
ing with her and lilllr. and they
with you, In a year or so. 2 thought
It woa going to be perfectly ghast
ly, meeting my first husband ffter
I mnrrled Dan, but my denr. we've
been better friends since then than
were before, and I've given his
aecond wife no end of advice.
Thnt the way with life In this day
and age and place.
"nut I coudn't Marie wns
protesting, when Caroline cut her
ahort.
''Couldn't be a friend of Billy's,
when he'll need you as ono Of
course you could! When you've
married Boh, Janny won't be
afraid that you'll try to get Billy
back again, don't you aee? And
knowing Jnnny aa we both do,
there's no question In my mind, or'
in yours, that Billy's going to need
you Marie, be sensible!"
Marie stared down at tho lovely
flower decked little table on which
luncheon was being so perfectly
served. Tears blurred her sight.
Llfo was so hard!
She went that afternoon with
Bob to get her engagement ring,
on emerald that was more beauti
ful than any other jewel sho had
over seen. Ho had pursunded the
Jeweler to mnke a special setting In
a great hurry; looking at It, Marie
wondered how many women there
were. In the city Just then who
could have lived for days on tho
money It had cost Bob to have the
making of that setting hurried.
As she nnd Hob were crossing
tha hide walk to his car she came
face to face with Mrs, Lindsay.
"Oh, my dear, I'm so glad to soe
you!" she exclaimed. "Now tell
me why didn't you accept my In
vitation lo tea? Do come right
along with me now, nnd bring this
nice man with you!"
Recalling Mrs. Lindsay's efforts
to win Knndall for herself, Marie
stifled her Inclination to laugh.
She explained that they had an
other engagement that could not
be broken. Mnrle had not yet put
on her gloves, and Mrs. I.lnilcay'g
eye were drawn to the great emer
ald as If by n magnet. Intuition
tolj her to rest. She turned white,
then scarlet. But she was mistress
nt herself, as usual.
'Another engngement oh, my
dear, let me congratulate you. Bow
lovely t You didn't mean to tell
me, I know, but I'vo guessed right
haven't I? When are you going to
bo married?"
Marie had not wanted (he news
of hfp approaching marriage to
leak out; It seemed to her that it
would bo much bettor to keep It a
secret until after It had taken
place. Mrs, Lindsay's small blue
oyca were fairly stabbing her as
the tide of questions rolled on
and on.
It was Bob who stemmed them
abruptly
"What are you doing, taking a
course in being a detective?" he
asked, with a f,ood natured smile.
'Dont oak either of us for a rec
ommendation If you are!"
Startled, Katharine Lindsay look
ed up at him sharply.
"Then you mean you're not "
He laughed again.
"Nothing could give me more
pleasure than to announce that
Mrs. Lane Is going to marry me,"
he replied. "But she doesn't seem
to care to collaborate in any such
announcement, unfortunately."
AO they drove away in his car
Marie looked back over her shoul
der toward the Jeweler's door, from
which Mrs, Unduiy was watching
thorn.
"She'll rush around town and
tell everybody she knows that we're
going to be married," she fin Id,
with a sigh.
"I hope she will." he retorted.1
"Then I shan't be afraid that some
thing will happen and you'll refuse
mc at the last minute. Queer I
can't got away from a premonition
that that's what Is going to hap
pen." Marie smiled nnd said nothing.
It would hardly have been kind to
tell him that the same premonition
troubled her.

Comes True.

Legs Thin, King Bars Portrait
The portrait of King George, by Charles Sims, on exhibi
tion in New York, was removed from the Royal Academy's
walls in London by the King himself. It is said the King
felt the spindly legs in the portrait monopolized attention
that should have been given the face.
411 Have Religious
Longing, Is Claim;
Neglect Kills Soul
That every humuu being has In1
him some where a religious longiug
was the contention advunced by
itev. K. L. Putnam', minister of the
Court street Christian church, in
his brmon Sunday morning. He
illustrated hut statement by de
scribing an episode of Jesus in the
temple, liking his text from John
12:21.
"It was Tuesday," said Rev. Mr.
Putnam, "in the lust week of
Christ's' ministry. Jesus was In
the temple of Jerusalem. Certain
Greeks, probably converts to Ju
diaiBin, camo to JcsuHThey came to
the Apostle Philip in their quest.
He went to Andrew and they both
came to tell Jesus.
Jesus' Word Sienificant.
"Jesus ready is very significant. I
He said: 'The hour is come that
the Son of Man should bo glori
tied.' Moat certainly a forecasting1
of the extension of the gospel to:
tho Gentiles in the conversion of
Cornelius. (Acts 10.)
"Tuie request of tho- Greeks:;!
We would eee Jesusfc Is in reality!
a cry of every human soul bur
dened with sin. Not necessarily
an audible cry; more often an In
nermost longing crushed into sil
ence. "Three classes of Individuals."
continued Rev. Mr. Putnam, "ut-j
ter this cry. First, those who are
indifferent to their souls craving
after God. There is the atheist
the man who tries to make him
self believe there is no God. 'The
fool says in his heart there is no
God.' He only fools himself. Then
comos the Infidel who professes
noi lo believe In Christianity.
Mven Ingerscl standing b y his
brother's coffin expressed hope be
youd. To this class may be added
the pleasure seekers, businesj men
and totters who take no time fur
spiritual things, and those pre
judiced because of preconceived
tuitions concerning everything
Christian.
Manv Are Misled.
"Second, ttioae good intent mned
folk who let other things contin
ually usurp their time and atten
tion from the Christian life and
simply neglect their soul's salva
tion through procrastination.
"Third, tUoce sincere, honest,
conscientious 01103 who are con
cerned about thoir future life, but
are confused because of the babel
of voices that would tell them
what to do to be saved.
"They would all see Jesus," he
concluded. "It is the innermost
longing of every heart. It Is the
business of the Christian church
to point all such to the Iiarob of
God on His own terms and condi
tions of obedience as revealed in
the New Testament.
'.'Netrlect" Is Tonic
Speaking on the-subject "Neg
lect," Rev. J. J. Gillespie told his
congregation at the Church of God.
Sunday, that most calamities and
accidents are caused by neglect.
"There are accidents of ocean,
land and air," he said. "Neglect
in any way always produces a cor
responding loss." The pastor took
his-text from Proverbs 24:30-34.
"In businees," he said, "if tho
merchant noslects his store he be
comes bankrupt. Again, If the
jturdener negleota to hoe his gar
den, ths weeds grow and cholto his
crop. Or if we nogleot our healtn,
by failing to wear proper clotftug,
ignore rules of vontilation and
sanitation, our health becomes in
jured. 1
"If wo neglect to educate our
minds, It causes Ignorance .and
ions. It our consciences are not
educated according to God's word
they fall to be a true guide. Of
if we neglect to toed our soul on
the word of God, and to have it
illuminated by the holy spirit, it
becomes dwarfed and dies.
Behind All Evil.
"Neglect weakens our power to
decide; we say wo will, but put it
off and it is never done. A hus
band promised his dying compan
ion that he would give his heurt to
God, but put it off too long.
"Negluct produces a loss of sen
si'Jveuess. We set tho alarm
clock. Wo hear It, but do not heed
it, nnd 'e oversleep. The rumblu
of the cars disturb our sleep tho
tirot night but later we sleep on.
In the eonio way our love of God
and our fellow men grows cold.
"Neglect destroys interest In
school, music, social affairs, our
soul and the Bible. The backslider
in heart Is filled with his own
ways. ,
"Neglect incurs great dangers.
A man played with the serpent too
long and it bit him. A hunter
.neglected to take the load out of
hte gun and the child was killed.
A man, neglecting to learn to
swim, saw a child drown. Others,
expecting to give their hearts to
God next week, die suddenly.
"Neglect is the road that leads
to ruin, both in time and eternity.
The way to cscupe Is through Jesus
Christ who opened the fountain
for eiu and uncleanliness and who
says to all men, 'Come unto mo all
ye" that labor and are heavy ladeu,
and I will give you rest' "
