BURNHAM EUROPE IS ON VERGE OF BETTER ERA Europe is on the threshold of a brighter and better era, from all indications. The London conference has succeeded. The reparations nightmare, it is indicated, will pass from Europe. The good effects will be felt, not only across the Atlantic, but on this side of the Atlantic. With Europe moving toward the restoration of normal conditions, agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests in this country will be advantaged greatly. The wholesome reflex should be felt in this country within a few weeks. That the reparations controversy is virtually settled speaks well for the moderation and good sense of European statesmen. It is true that America's influence has been exerted and has been very potent. It is true that American fiscal experts drafted the plan upon which it was possible to bring the interested powers into agreement. But all would have been futile if the statesmen of the Allied countries and of Germany had not listened to the still small voice of reason and conciliation. There was much discussion and not a few crises. But, seemingly, final agreement has been reached and the settlement long yearned for on both sides of the Atlantic is at hand. With the intelligence that prevails in this country, it behooves political managers to cater to intelligence and breadth of thought, and not make appeal chiefly to narrowness and prejudice. There should be fairness, too. For the people see through misrepresentations and distortions, and such methods react hurtfully upon those who employ them.

There should be fairness, too. For the people seethrough misrepresentations and distortions, and such methods react hurtfully upon those who employ them. BIRDS VERY USEFUL TO MANKIND Many species of birds which are regarded as pests by farmers and orchardists, really are of great value to growers. This is the conclusion reached by the United States Biological Survey, after exhaustive study of the habits of birds. It is found that several species which have been hunted and slaughtered systematically as pests are in reality faithful friends of man, in that they feed upon insects which are destructive of trees and plants. The Biological Survey even gives a clean bill of health to the English sparrow, against which bird the hand of every man has been raised. The sparrow feeds upon the 17-year locust, asparagus beetle, the locust leaf miner, the caterpillar, canker worm, army worm and drop worm. These are far more destructive than the sparrows ever could be. The crow also is given recommendation inasmuch as it feeds upon insects and weed seeds. It would seem to be in order to revise opinions about birds and, instead of killing those which are useful, they should be fostered. There would be more years to life if it were the simple life. This should be a thoughtful political campaign. There is much to inspire thoughtfulness. The voters must choose this year—choose, with three major parties bidding for favor. The choice should be deliberate and made with sound judgment. PARAGRAPH By ROBERT QUILLE The boat rocker knows safe. You can't sink a ship that. A provincial is any yearn to see the Yanks pennant.

PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN The boat rocker knows he is safe. You can't sink a head like that. A provincial is any man who carms to see the Yanks lose the pennant. Fable: Once there was a man who married money without marrying a boss. Men are funny. When they make a call they are glad to find somebody in. Bathing is safer this year. The few remaining sea serpents are 12 miles out. The high priced alienist simply thinks up harder words for the word "crazy." Perhaps a modern girl should not tell her mother everything. The dear old things are so harming in their present innocence. Our idea of a he-man is one who drops a long fly and doesn't imp as an alibi. A general practitioner is a funny bird. He can do it without the assistance of three nurses. Another thing this country needs is a League of Bald-headed men to resist jokes about them. People don't drink enough water. Note to composing room: Please don't erase the word "water." Diligent search has yet to recal any form of virtue that will cause a severe headache. About the only liberty a man owls for is the liberty to do something he shouldn't do. ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES No man living has caught bigger fish than F. A. Mitchell Hedges, the sea angler, whose fame is world wide. He is fain to admit, however, that even the biggest he has landed—and once he caught a sawfish weighing 5700 pounds—are quite small fry in comparison with some fish that other anglers say have got away from them. For instance, a man told a story in his hearing of how he once tackled a fish so big that no ordinary line was any use. "At last," this champion liar went on, "I tried 3-inch rope, and hooked him. He was too strong for me to land, so I tied the rope around a huge oak tree in a field while I went for help. When I got back the fish had gone." "Pulled up the tree, I suppose?" put in another man sarcastically. "More than that," went on the other. "The roots of the oak were so wide and deep that it took the whole field as well. It's a quarry now." The burglars wife was in the witness box. "Madam, are you the prisoner's wife?" demanded the prosecuting attorney. "Yes." "How did you come to contract a matrimonial alliance with such a man?" "Well," said the witness, sarcastically. "I was getting old and had to choose between a burglar and a lawyer." While They Last!

WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS COL. WILLIAM J. DONOVAN Friends of Col. William J. Donovan, recently appointed assistant attorney general of the U.S., point out that his record as U.S. attorney for the western district of New York demonstrates his fitness for the new post tendered him. In his new berth, as assistant to Attorney General Stone, Donovan becomes virtually head of the secret service and will supervise the enforcement of all federal laws with the exception of the prohibition and anti-trust measures. The assistant attorney general studied law in Columbia university under Mr. Stone while the latter was professor in the law school. He is a trustee of Columbia university. Colonel Donovan is one of two men who for gallant conduct with the American Expeditionary Forces in the World War received the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal. He was wounded three times and won the title of Colonel "Wild Bill" Donovan of the Fighting Stxty-ninth. In Feb., 1922, Colonel Donovan was appointed United States attorney at Buffalo by President Harding. Since then he has conducted a persistent campaign against the bootlegging and narcotic rings. Colonel Donovan was born in Buffalo in 1883, was graduated from Columbia College in 1905 and from the Columbia Law School in 1907. He is a member of the law firm of Donovan, Raichls & Depew of Buffalo. Earl J. Davis, whose post in the Department of Justice is now taken by Coloniel Donovan, has been selected by Senator Couzens of Michigan as special counsel for the senate committee investigating the International Revenue Bureau. The committee expects to resume its investigation about Sept. 1. COMMENT OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying AMERICA'S ATHLETIC LEADERSHIP—Berkeley Gazette America leads the world in athletics. The American Olympic team has won the tracks and field championship for the eighth time in succession. It is getting to be monotonous. America always wins. Why? Perhaps there are many answers. This country has a great population to choose from. Yet there are other countries more populous—Russia, China, India—that accomplish nothing in athletics. More important is the fact that Americans have a keen and lively interest in physical exercise and sport, which tends to the development and discovery of good athletes. Still more important perhaps is the American spirit, which goes into every sort of human competition with a strong determination to win. American pride may be no better than that of many other nations. In fact, there is probably small difference in physique between the various civilized races. We may be safe in saying that victory in athletics, as in various other fields of human activity, comes to America so regularly because of an unusual combination of intelligence and will, helped, of course, by great numbers. In this year's contest, perhaps number alone turned the trick for the United States. Little Finland won second place, with 166 points to America's 255, and all the rest far behind. Finland, it may be observed, has the best educational record of all countries—the least illiteracy. Finland evidently has no less intelligence and strength of will than America. It has only a little over 3,000,000 people—about as many as this country had at the time of the American Revolution. Its remarkable showing makes Americans rather humble about their latest victory. IN FAVOR OF IDLENESS Robert Louis Stevenson held that if a person cannot be happy without remaining idle, idle he should remain. It is a revolutionary precept; but thanks to hunger and workhouse, it is one that cannot be abused. "Within practical limits," he allowed. "It is one of the most incontestable truths in the whole Body of Morality. "Look at one of your industrious fellows for a moment, I beseech you. He sows hurry and reaps indigestion; he puts a vast deal of activity out to interest, and receives a large measure of nervous derangement in return. "Whether he absents himself entirely from all fellowship, and lives a recluse in a garret, with carpet slippers and leaden inkpot; or he comes among people swiftly and bitterly, in a contraction of his whole nervous system, to discharge some temper before he returns to work." "I do not care how much or how well he works, this fellow is not cared how much or how well he works." They would be happier... from Columbia College in 1905 and from the Columbia Law School in 1907.

THOMSON We teach 'em dead Latin, About Caesar and Gaul; But how to keep healthy, We don't teach 'em at all. "You're next!" the barber shouted As he motioned to his chair; "Women first!" the lady pouted— There were ice bergs in the air. The grass was high, the weeds were thick. The neighbors then began to kick And hurl anthemas at the hick Who owned the lot. "Dyspepsia" is not a disease but symptom of a disease. The cause of dyspepsia is often a gastric ulcer, sometimes a gastric cancer. In certain sections of the United States they will "Pow-wow for the Take-off." Babies dying with the "Take-off" are simply victims of infectious diarrhea caused by dirty food. DAWES REPORT IS BRIDGE TO PEACE, AVERS LEADER OF GERMAN SOCIAL DEMOCRATS "The Dawes report has bridged the way to European peace. At last have men of economic common sense had opportunity to lay the foundations of the reparations solution," declared Hermann Mueller, leader of the Social Democrat party in Germany, in an interview. "All that was necessary was that the politicians should accept without reservations. Difficulties threatened from both the German and the French side. In France through the elections and the fall of Poincare, the adventurer of the Ruhr, the exponents of peace have conquered." "The Socialists, to prevent a Right government, decided to support a burgeois coalition so that the Dawes report could be hastened into practice. The Deutsch National have lost the confidence of without remaining idle, idle he should remain. It is a revolutionary precept; but thanks to hunger and workhouse, is one that cannot be abused. "Within practical limits," he allowed. "It is one of the most incontestable truths in the whole Body of Morality. "Look at one of your industrious fellows for a moment, I beseech you. He sows hurry and reaps indigestion; he puts a vast deal of activity out to interest, and receives a large measure of nervous derangement in return. "Whether he absents himself entirely from all fellowship, and lives a recluse in a garret, with carpet slippers and leaden inkpot; or he comes among people swiftly and bitterly, in a contraction of his whole nervous system, to discharge some temper before he returns to work. "I do not care how much or how well he works, this fellow is an evil feature in other people's lives. They would be happier if he were dead. They could easier do without his services in the Circumlocution Office, than they can tolerate his fractious spirite. He poisons life at the well head. It is better to be beggared out or hand by a scapegrace nephew, than daily hag-ridden by a peevish uncle." When thou wishest to give thyself delight, think of the excellencies of those who live with thee.—Marcus Aurellus. He who has less than he desires should know that he has more than he deserves.—Lichtenberg.
