atbtoa mi-iQi Metropolian iaaa alluav WHEN I TRY TO SCOLD. BY EDGAR A. GUEST. I'm not much good at scolding, and I'll tell the reason uhg: I jutt can't stand to see her uhen she puckers up to cry. Sow her motfier can control her, but the tninute that I speak A little sharply to her all the sunshine leaves her cheek And her lips draw down in terror and a big tear fills far eye; And 1 just go all to pieces when sfa puckers up to cry.

'Twos the same thing with her brother. He could laugh his mother down, And he wasn't scared of scolding and he didn't mind her frown. And he'd never make a whimper when she'd tell him whit was what, Dal if I'd snap out an order, lie'd stand rooted to the spot As if thunder bolts Jiad fallen from a clear and sunny sky, And you'd thivk his heart was broken as he puckered up to cry. Now, she's just the picture of him as he was at three years old, Just as full of life and mischief. And there's times I ought to scold, But the first sharp word I utter seems to terrify Iter so, For lier lips begin to tremble and the tears begin to flow, And I say: "Oh, I can't do it! It's no use for me to try," For I just go all to pieces when she puckers up to cry.

Into the smoking room of en oreen liner Sutton Vane marshals ell the characters In his fantastic play of here and the hereafter, Outward Bound." one of the most diseuned stage writings of recent years. There are found Scrubby, the steward, an attempted suielde who for that error of judgment is condemned to cruise back and forth, with never a port to welcome him, and who, when the action opens, ia shown polishing glasses behind the ship's bar; Mr. Prior, a noisy yoong fellow who imbibes much red liquor; Mrs.

Cllvenden-Banks, a vulgarian whose raiment and raucous-ness unmistakably proclaim her station; the Heverend Mr. Duke, who tries with only moderate success to make himself a good fellow; Mrs, Midget, sometime London charwoman, all dressed up, and Intent on an outing; the vastly pompous Mr. Llngley, who Is an M. and boastful of his success, and a pair of lovers who, rather than be separated, ineffectually tried to take their lives. Here they are, typically human In their llkee and occupations, in their small talk and their petty Jeal-ousiea.

when the disconcerting discovery Is made that, already dead, they are headed for eternity- one extreme or the other with Scrubby volunteering the Information that It really does not matter which, as they are ona and tha same, a a a This Is tha situation Button Vane builds up. and it Is from this rather daring position that he must extricate hla characters. Be accomplishes this by bringing on the Great Examiner, who disposes of the passengers, according to their deserts, until there are left only the devoted and bewildered lovers. Thene he cannot give relief. Like Scrubby, because they failed in their attempt to tnke their lives, they are merely half ways.

It Is their Job to work out their own salvation, which, it Is hinted. Includes coming back to earth and starting all over attain. Mr. Vane employa a deal of In-Keuulty In attempting to overcome the liRmlicsn he Imposed on himself in worklna; out a convincing conclusion. "Outward Bound" reveals an abundance of good writing and suspense that is maintained to the last curtain, it is all done In a way that aiipesls, with emphasis even in Germany, the trend seems to be toward the realization that the peace, such as It la, ought to be nude the bent of, with necessary readjustments like the Dawes plan.

In this new tendency one discerns the brightest spot In the whole situation, which to Havelock Ellis appears so totally gloomy. As to his might-have-been speculations, there is in them a strange quirk. The difficulty with Europe Is not so much bow to reinforce Mr. Wilson's peace Ideas, which were substantially adopted by the Versailles conference. The problem is, rather, how still more to de-Wllsonlse the peace.

This problem Is happily being solved from year to year, almost from month to month, step by step. If the process, naturally a slow one. continues, the real blunders of the Versailles compromise but not those deplored by Mr. Ellis, we fear should eventually be undone. II ACE AAI.GAMATIO..

Amalgamating races of Itself does not tend to wipe out the groups involved. There may be such wiping out. but It is the result of social and political processes and not of processes biological. Such is the conclusion of professor W. E.

Castle, of Harvard. James O'Donpell Bennett reports Assistant Secretary of the Interior Goodwin aa saying there are row in the United States I45.fc00 Indians, of whom 182. GOu are fun blooded and lSS.ouO are mixed bloods. Th Indiana are now Increasing In numbers. Their birth rates are higher than their death rates.

Speaking generally, th Increase is among the mixed breeds, the fullbluoda being on tha decrease. As an exception to the last statement, he mentions one tribe of full-bloods in southern Arizona that la Increasing. Thla report la In accord with th principles laid down by Castle, who says the social and political taboo on marriages between Indians and whites does not operate as It doe between whites and black In all parts of th country and between whites and yellow on th Paeifls slope especially. The bulk of lr. Castle's artiele In the Journal of Heredity deals with the whites and blacks.

He quotes Wilcox aa saying Negroes are not holding their oun numerically In the United States. In the first census, that of it, there was one black man for every five white. In the last census th proportion was one for every ten. The whites are Increasing becau of an excess of births over deaths and also becaus of an excess of Immigration over emigration, Th black birth rat 1 now no higher, or little higher, than th blaok death rat. Th race consciousness of th blacks has extended to political and social fields, but not to biological.

They have don very little to decrease their death rate. They have nothing similar to the Canadian French movement to gain power bv Increasing their birth rate. Castle reports on mulaftoe ss distinguished from blacks. He says that the mulattoea are brainier than the pure blacks. They are on a higher social status.

They secure economlo opportunity easier than the pure blacks. As a rule, they hold themselves somewhat aloof from the black. They do not marry with them. They have a low birth rate. Probably their blith rate Is lower than their death rale, counting pure bloods and mixtures of blacks who have a birth rata higher than their death rat.

Th prediction I mad that th mulattoea will form a sparat portion of the black rac. Its rstio to tha whole black race will be a diminishing one. However. they "A droll Idea that won't get anywhere," said Fred W. Jordan, theatrical advance man, speaking of the theory that the radio will cut Into the buslneas of the theater.

"My notion la that It will bring even more people to the playhouaea. The radio does not take the place of the eye; people like to see the artist In peraon. There a radio tatlon In Atlanta whose announcer has become more or leas famous simply through his announcing, yet 1 have heard any number of people say.

CREW GETS OVER STRAITS IN FORD To the Editor: We have all heard of the many thing's a Kord car can do and has done but the latest feat of Henry Is crossing the Straits of Mackinaw on the Ice. The coast guard station closed Its active season here on the night of December 11, and as the crew wanted to get to Cheboygan right awny the Ice conditions were such that the big motor life boat could not be used to 'convey them across the etralta. John Garrett, No. 1, had an old flivver so they conceived the idea of going In the cur. ho they all plied In the car and started for i'heboygan.

There wns from one to three feet of snow all along the shore line road so thev took the Ice along the shore to Packard's Polnte. From there they crossed Betts bay to Polnte Aux Pins end on beyond to Saud bay. where they started across the straits, there being a bridge of Ice over which they had been crossing on foot for several days. There was some snow on the ice In most places and the old car ran like mad. and they made Cheboygan In good time, but while the boys were In town spending their New Year and having a good time a heavv irale came nn will not aisappeur lor tun, If ever.

Dr. Castle wrote the artiele In reply to one by Nljen, who had attempted to show statistically that th amalgamated races have an enormous disproportion of the tuberculosis, drunkenness, theft, and other social evils. Castle says that may be true, but If so It is the result of political and social, rather than biologic cause.

This Is the annual civic holiday Hio de Janiero, the most brilliant of all the South American fetes, because as a rule it Is marked by such lavish entertainment, both municipal and private. But with the cost of living; at out-ragcous nights, with the cpuutr nervously hoping that the last has been heard from the revolution tsca for a time and with the possibility of some international complications on account of the new restrictions on Immigration, Rio will scarcely present Us wonted mien this year. Po strict a censorship has bean maintained on the press since ths outbreak of rebellion last year that it Is only by the most indirect mans that the world at largo has learned of some of the sensational happenings. One of thess was the flight of a whip of the Brasilia navy, under a mutinous crew, down the eastern coa.it of South America to Montevideo.

The mutineers joined, the revolutionists at the Brazilian border, but the ship was captured by another warship of ths same country.

But the fact remains that most of us live in prisons of our own and other's making. Prisons are supposed to exist to protect society. But what are you going to do about society that ta made up of individual items unconcerned about protection for themselves? If we live in a glass house we have to be careful and watchful about those who may break loose from their atone and steel prisons.
