Down at Astoria (here is a'youth

'of tho 'Jommunist Internationale,
,,ind wears proudly a button dis

; s ment ot the United States by force
t and setting up a dictatorship of
the proletariat, as has been done

; lent to his case by the fact that ho
was president of tho. student body

v Before becoming excited over
this discovery, it is well to remem
ber that he-is, a. boy of only 14.
Youth. is apt to' be radical in its
beliefs. ', It is the nature" of youth
s. to be impatient of authority. lany
a man who at 14 raged against the
; restraints of organized society Is
nowHlie most law-abiding of citi
zens. Thousands of youths who at
'( 14 look 'pride in telling their fel
'. lows they were agnostics are now
loyal followers ' of "he" Man 'Of
V Galilee. Since tho beginning of
; time tho radicalism of youth has
! been" mellowing into the con
' aervatism of later, years. So we
need, not becorrfo unduly worked
up over the Astoria tfojr- and-his
- , professed convictions; v"..j - frij--'
' But when anyone, young or old,
. begins to talk of overthrowing pj
.' tho so-called "capitalistic,:,'gpvcrn
'. ment of the United States, we are
. Justified in wondering If he-knows
' what he Is talking a.bout.or1 what
; he really wants. These radicals
v prattle glibly of the proletariat and
' Its rights, but in no country on
'' earth is tho condition of tho prolc-
' tariat so comfortablo a'nd.car.freo

:' economists are fond. 6f calling the
' "'niil'V: wages of labor 4fhat r ia.
.what the laboring man's wage will
i' buy in terms of the necessities and
! tho luxuries of life. 1 v ". ;'
' ' Fortunately there are in exist
; ence.some figures, bearing upon
-' that exact point. .Those figures are
based upon a careful study of data
' collected by the. International labor
t offico of thc'League of Nations at
V Geneva for the first nine months
, of 1924. .. As expected, these figures
i provo that the highest "real" wage.)

Mart-o Tolo is out in a urw. niiul

prospect that the picturesque old
Venetian traveler of the thirteenth
century may yet becomo a best
seller In this enlightened geuera
tion. '
.Thin, is Interesting, ns showing
our wjdenlpg taste and tho pruirras
of kiiowleilKo. For centuries Marco
nlo was regarded ns a wild I'D
muncer. . Ilia fullow-rillsens of
Venluc themaulyes would not be

his Asiatlo travels and told them
of tho wonders ot India,, Tibot and
China and tho glories of the great
ruler, Kublal Kuan..:. They wcro
particularly amused at such ab
surdities as his report thut the
Chinese used paper money. But
rpcenk scholarship has corroborated
nearly everything of Importance In

Roosevelt boys have Just brought
to America a dozen of the strango

It has been 'the same with Herod
otus, tho "father of , history,"
whom shallow historians ot modern
times have sometimes scoffed'at as
the, "father ot lies." Late re
searches and explorations in Egypt
and Asia have done much to clear
his reputation as not a merely en
tertaining story-teller but a care
ful observer and surprisingly truth
ful narrator, considering the Urn
ited opportunities ot a historian of
his time. ;
Cynics used to say thera-was.
never any Trojan war, and. now
Homer is uphold. So it is, to some
extent, with nearly all' ancient Writ
ings of note. There Is pretty sura'
to be some fundamental truth In
the old books, whether of history
of travel or poetry or religion, no
matter If there Is a considerable ad
mixture ot rubbish or fancy.
ART FOR FILM STARS
There was a surprise In Holly
wood. Cal., when a well known
art collection was auctioned off.
The buyers were mostly film stare
instead of the. usual, connoisseurs
and art museum agents. . , ,
Rudolph Valentino distinguished
himself by paying $5,000 for a
painting. Cyril Chadwick bought
a picture for $8,000, and Mrs. Tom
Santchi set herself back $11,001
for an antique Canton vase.
When filmdom goes- (n for art
instead of parties, the rest of us
may take new hopo for tho artistic
soul of America. It Is a natural
development, too, when you come
to think of it. The film aristo
crats build 'grand houses, and than
bcfeln lo feel the need ot something
to put Into them besides rugs and
period furniture and victrolas and
Japanese servants. ,
One of these times, when they
get their art galleries comfortably
filled, our film he'roes.and heroines
may surprise everybody by going in
tor -books.. . : ' !
