PRINCELY ADVICE
Said Crown Prince Gustav Adolph to rep
resentatives of 451 Swidish churches in New
York last Sunday “I am gratified indeed to
see how well you have preserved Swedish
thought and tradition in the use of the Swe
dish tongue in your service, but, on the oth
er hand, you must see that it is your self
evident duty as American citizens to master
fully the English language and the ideals of
this country, so that you may fulfill the ob
ligations of American citizenship.”
There is a message that merits broadcast
ing to all foreign-born Americans, no mat
ter of what race.
EAST OR WEST.
Butler, of Massachusetts, and Stickney, of,
Vermont, whistle “East is East and West is
West, and never the twain shall meet,17 to
keep their courage up. A cold stare greets
the fellow who asks whether Pennsylvania (
is East or West. He is a trouble maker.
MONEY OR SOUVENIRS
While the Stone Mountain memorial cam
paigners are selling their 50 cent pieces,
Congress has authorized the minting of an
Oregon Trail half dollar. If the practice of
using the currency to promote good causes
keeps up, a man will not know whether his
silver change is money or souvenirs.
HAS VERY CONVENIENT EYES
Some of our leading political writers pro
fess to see a waning of President Coolidge’s
popularity. A political expert can always
manage to see what he is especially looking
for.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN FRANCE
Of the 409 persons drawing unemploy
ment aid in all France, 22 are women and 95
are Russians. The contrast between Paris
and London is striking—which is to say that
striking has a lot to do with unemployment.
GERMANY’S BIRTH RATE
Germany’s birth rate, it is reported is de
creasing. It is now down to 20.4 and is fast
approaching the low French rate, which is
remaining stationary at 19.4. Prof. Alfred
Grotjahn, of Berlin, who sounds a note of
alarm over these statistics, states that it
will require a birth rate of 20 per 1000 to
keep the population barely stationary, if one
puts the average lifetime at 50 years.
Two of Jack Prosser’s goats were placed
in Nile Park Saturday adding much to the
rural effect of the grounds.
Saul of Tarsus became Paul on his way to
Damascus. But when he preached in that
town it was a gospel of peace unpunctuated
with bomb explosions. He could never have
foreseen the incident of the French occu
pation.
Doctors are people we expect to take
away the penalty of our indiscretions.
