t- F. M. Dully Opes All Day Wednesday too much, perhaps, to say that whatever tha governmental relations of ths Islands there has been no such hatred between th peoples themaelYes a ths bitterness of the confllot might suggest. The antipathies, have found vent upon personalities and Institutions rather than ths peoples. Given an amicable agreement none Should bo more closely knit in the days to come.

Lans Memorial Fund. Springfield Republican: Herbert Hoover Is credited with having suggested the plan under which ths Franklin K. Lane memorial fund is to be administered. Whether this Is correct or not, it sounds like his solid common sense. The sum of $100,000 has been raised by friends of the former secretary of the Interior, and the principal Is eventually to be used to erect memorials to ths secretary in each of the national parka which were much benefited by hla care.

But this Is not to be done until after the death of his widow, who, meantime, Is to have the interest upon the fund. This la an admirable way to honor the dead and at the same time to comfort the woman who would otherwise be the victim of her husbands unselfish patriotism.

Tleldln to President Hardings request the senate recommitted the soldiers bonus bill to committee, which action kills all chances of the bill being passed this session of congress. It Is not expected that a new bonus measure will be presented for months, while some senators say that it will not be reported out again for several years if ever. Senator' McCumber, who led the fight for the bill, expresses a hope that the meas ure will again be reported out for action as soon as the tariff or tax questions are definitely settled. In view of President Hardings and Secretary Mellons coupling of the bonus bill with the allied war debts and the likelihood that these debts will not be paid for many years yet to come, It would seem to us that the chance of the soldiers bonus bill ever being passed has gone agllmmering. The soldiers lost their opportunity when they did not force through bonus bill within a yeac-after the armistice.

Republicans have been In power In congress for the' past three years. Despite promises to the soldiers there has been nothing but delay, and now with a prospect of definite! action on the bill in the senate after it has passed the house, the president and his secretary of the treasury were called in and the majority party, responded to the dictates of leaders, has sent the bill back to committee where it is doomed to rest, we believe, forever. While the cnitnlry at large Is most desirous that the soldier boys, who gave up so much In the defense of the nation, be liberally treated, there Is no doubt of an honest difference of opinion as to whether we are In a position to withstand a drain of from $1,009,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 on the treasury without seriously Impairing our financial stability. It Is to he hoped that congress, now that a bonus for all Is out of the way, will act with dispatch on bills Intended for the relief of the wounded and sick veterans of the world war. These men should have every care, every comfort and every consideration that a thoughtful and appreciative government can give them.

Donald B. MacMillan Donald B. wilLaoon be on his way MacMillan, to explore Baffin Land, the vast Arctic island southwest of Greenland. He will take with him a crew of six men. They expect to reach Baffin Land Aug.

13 and return to the United States late in 1922. MacMillan Is the son of a Cape Cod sea captain. He was born In Irovlncetown, November, 1874, and was graduated from Bowdoin in 1898. After postgraduate work at Harvard In 1910-12 he took up teaching and became a public school principal.

COATS AND COPS. While there is a general public demand for swimming pools and showers for the kiddles, and that the work horse be protected from the heat, little thought Is given to the discomforts of the traffic policemen who must stand out in the glaring sun on a hot pavement for hours at a turn. We wonder if Director Ripple or Superintendent Day think at all about what these men must suffer, forced SS they are to wepr heavy coats and taps while standing In the center of the street twirling the semaphores? Would It not be more humane to permit the cops to divest themselves of their coate and have them equipped with a lightwoight helmet instead of a cap? Some few years ago an agitation was begun In favor of permitting mall carriers to go without their uniform coats In the summer and the service hasnt suffered anything aa a result. We feel sure the traffic cops would gladly avail themselves of the privilege of discarding their coats on hot days and throwing the heavy caps aside for something more serviceable and comfortable, Think tt over, Mr. Director and you, too, Mr.

After the big storm yesterday morning 1 was curious to know bow often, if at all, the prophecy that rain on St. Swithins day, July 15, means rain for forty consecutive days, so I got In' touch with the local weather bureau, whose records go back tof 1901. I was informed that In that period It has rained on July 15 In 1901, 190 2, 1 9 0 3, 1906, 19 0 9, 1911, 1914, 1917, 1919, 1 920, 1921.

At no time, however, has there byen a continuous rain for forty hiys. The nearest approach was lrr 1906 when It rained every day for twenty-seven dajs after Ht. Kwithln's day. In 1902 we had twenty -four days of ram Immediately following July 15; In 1911 tt rained twenty-three days; In 1914 there was rain on twenty-four days and in 1919 rain followed for twenty-three days. These figures are startling enough.

Let ua hope that the prophecy this year wjll not le fulfilled, even to the extent that It has been tn some other years hereabouts Now a word about St. Swithin. He was an English prelate of the ninth century, chaplain lo Kink Egbert and tutor to his son, Ethelwulf. He was ordained to the priesthood 830, charged with the education of Prince Alfied. In 852 he was made bishop of Winchester; died In 862 and canonized a century or so later.

The forty days' rain Is associated with St. Swithln from the fact that when the bones of the good saint were about to be removed from their original resting place In Winchester church yard to the Interior of the cathedral then-removal, which was to have taken place July 1 5. was delayed forty days by the excessive rain which fell uninterruptedly for that period. One version says the monks finally abandoned the idea as heretical and blasphemous. I Michael 'FMaherly, of South Scranton, has just returned home from Chicago where he attended a series of conferences of representatives of allroad unions.

Mr. Flaherty is sn officer in the switchmen's union In Scranton, and in the past few yeais has been a. big factor In Its present flourishing condition. In a talk with the writer on the Chicago conference, Mr. Flaherty recited some highly in-teiestmg facts concerning the railroad situation peneially, At this conference, he aald, It was the general opinion that the worst of the slump on the various lines lias gone by, and I from now on conditions will display I a steady im provement.

He inet some of the leading figures in the big brotherhoods during his stay in Chicago. It was in that city that the union chiefs debated on the wage question, with mi agreement being reached to submit to the rank and file of the brotherhoods the question of them accepting reduction In their pay checks at this time. Mr. Flaherty was In the west for over a wiek. He says he ran across quite a few former Hcranton residents while In Chicago, and was gratified to find nil of them enjoying health and pros-peilng.

The recent decls, on liy the supreme court of Iennsylvuma declaring women eligible for Jury duty calls to mind Hint the last Pennsylvania legislature pnssed a bill, sponsored by Senator VV. J. Barnes, of Wayne county, re-qultlng county commissioners to provide, on court order, separate accommodations for women Jurors either In or adjoining the courthouse. The Barnes law provides that no separation of male and female jurors shall he held as a cause of a mistrial provided the Jurois are In chaige of a tipstaff. The Barnes act becomes operative Jan.

1 next. The Interim was Intended to give commissioners a chanro to make accommodations for men and women Jurors in courthouses, Already the work Is under way In Lackawanna county, provision having been made in the remodeling Iilaus for quarters for men and women Jurors. In a couple of Instances here since women hiive been serving on Juries these Juries have been unable to agree and have been kept together nil night. The court, however, has endeavored In so far as possible to avoid nucli a contingency. In view of jail circumstances we believe tt would be proper for the court when sessions resume in the early fall to appoint women matrons or tipstaves and thus avoid any possible chances of embarrassment for women Juiors.

4ft In the rush of business we are all likely to forget at least for a time muny friends and old acquaintances. I was forcibly reminded of this tho other day when I ran across Jnmes A OMalley, the Insurance man. 1 have known Mr. O'Malley twenty-llvo yeais or sn. I knew him when he was an apprentice at the machinist tiado In the W.

shops, later aa a competent mechanic and when he ventured out Into the Inamance Ibid. About 1919 Mr. OMalley took a position ns superintendent at one of the big shlpynids at Harrlman, near lhlstol, lt. He continued there up to a few months ago when the yard shut down and he decided to return to Scranton and again enter the gen-tral fire, life and automobile Insurance business. Mr, OMalley lives with his wife, formerly Miss Olive Rowen, on Watson avenue, West Hcianton.

I was pleased to know that since last I saw him a baby girl had come to brighten the O'Malley home, If attention to buslnesa, capacity for work and a willlngnesa to go after prospects spell success In the Insurance game, then I have no hesitancy in saying that Jim O'Malley will a success. BILLIONS IN TAXES. Pennsjlvanla is second only to New Tork in taxes paid the federal government. A statement Issued by the bureau of internal revenue, based on collectors telegrams of June 30, shows that the total tax receipts of the federal government for the year ending June 30 were $4,393,933,248. Of this huge sum 13,212,713.499 was Income and profit taxes.

Pennsylvania contributed J187, 711,269 of this total tax. The Income and profit tax from this state was $331,383,399. New York led the country with a total tax of 1,124 331.706. or about one-fourth, Illinois ranks next to Pennsylvania and Ohio fourth. Michigan, where the automobile industry has developed so gieutly, Is fifth.

ncic is a grent tax collector. There Is an Inherent respect in the minds of practically all the people for federal authority. While grent corporations may try to dodge, and some of them do, paying what they honestly owe the government, tho bulk of the people comp fot ward and pay up. Heres hoping, however, that congress! will soon evolve some means of reducing expenses, bo that it will not be necessary to take so many millions of dollars out of the pockets of the people. An old colored man had a pig.

He sold It to a white man for three dol-' lars. The whits man drove It away, but It returned to the original owner, who. with singular acutenesrf, sold It to another white man an hour later for four dollars. The second purchaser drove the pig away. But he encountered the first hujer and they started wrangling.

Finally they decided to consult the colored man. They returned to him. Ivook here, said the first, "didn't you sell that pig to me at 10 oclock?" Sho I did, massa." 'And didnt you sell the same pig to me at 11 o'clock? asked the second. 'Sho I did, massa." Then to whom does It belong now? asked the first. "Snakes alive' said the old man.

Cant you settle dat question between yoselves? As every golfer Is aware. It Is against the rules to remove anything' growing on the course. The other day a player asked; What should I do on the putting green If a worm lay between my ball and the hole? Am I entitled to lift it or brush it aside? Well, replied his companion, think you should brush It aside. Yes, he replied, you may be right, but this was a young and growing worm, you know! See that man going Into the office building' the chauffeur inquired as he casually prepared to move his car from the curb. I feel sorry for him sometimes he has to work so darned hard.

You mean in order to make his living'' the doorman, in response, asked Idly. "No," the chauffeur replied as he gently let In the clutch, to make mine. wt Your Money Problems Whatever your money problems TO BUY A HOME TO TAY INSURANCE TO START A BUSINESS TO EDUCATE THE CHILDREN TO PROVIDE FOR OLD AGE- The solution can be found in a Savings Account with SCRANTONS LARGEST BANK.

ACKAWim "THE AUJrJDRY Rippling Rhymes BOBBED HAIR GIRL. Attention to the girl in business has been attracted of late by orders and rules promulgated by the heads of several large concerns barring the short-skii tod, bobbed and blonde hnir type of worker. The Impression might be gained that great pro. portion of girls in spend all their wages on fine clothes find amusements.

Some undoubtedly do so, but the vast majority of girls em-ployed In business offices, as invest! gation has shown, give all their money to their mothers. Not Infre qiientiy the mothers do all the buy Ing, give the gttls money for lunches, carfare, etc. Business men naturally like to see tidy, becomingly dressed young worn en about their offices. Moat girls, wo take tt, hob their hair or wear it In rolls because is either more he coming or comfortable that way, Blondes may he more showy than brunettes, hut the color of the hair makes little difference In the effi clency of one or the other. The aver age girl employed In an office Is do Ing her work well and contributing her full share to the support of the home.

Let her dress as she pleases Just ao long as she keeps wilhln the hounds of decency and there la lit tin danger of her exeeedlng this point Tong skirts do not necessarily mean a monopoly In efficiency, honesty or decency.

All this agltntion In England about whether or not Premier Lloyd George should personally head the comtnls-eion to represent Gieat Britain at the proposed disarmament conference In this country recalls the acrimonious discussion Incident to President Wilsons announce, -n nt of his intention to attend the peace conference of Versailles The opposition to President Wilson was entirely political.

Our view of it Is that the opposition to Lloyd George Is political. Lord Northciiffe is heading that faction of Britishers who would keep the premier home and delegate the ask of being chairman of the British tommisslon to pome other less known tatesmsn of the empire. We can pee no harm In Lloyd George coming here. We have no fear that the doughty Welshman will put it over President Harding and Becretary Hughes or whoever they may delegate as Americas reptenen-tatlves in the conference. If affairs of state permit Lloyd George could do no better service to his country than attending the conference In person.

That watt our position when President Wilson decided to attend ths Versailles pear meeting In pAr. son. The peace meeting was the greatest question before the woild In 1919, just as the proposed dlharma mant conference Is the gieotest ques tlon in the world today.

He was charged with scolding the lawAnaken, with being a dictator, An "autocrat," with a dc Mrs to usurp the prerogatives of the legislative branches of the govern menL Mr. Harding was among those who voiced Ins condrmnation of the president, frequently going before or after congress. What do we find now? Mr. Hard Ing haa learped that congress needs scolding. It has to be bullied and urged.

Left to itself the lawmaking 4Bttd of the government would do little more than waste time. Like a wise man, he has evidently concluded that Mr. Wlleon was' right and has decided to follow In his footsteps. Bo already, with only four months of his term gone by, hag addressed congress twica, urging action along certain lines. If th Republican newspaper who were so free to criticise Mr.

Wilson for his usurpation of power" are consistent they will have to turn their A-ud batteries on Mr. Harding, but we predict nothing like this will recur. What was all wrong for. Mr do. in the minds of these Mb editors, is all right if done i' MrtRONl fl1 TAD.
