WHO IS PAUL DOYLE? ' I Who is Paul Doyle? This Is a ' question that is puzrling the most able minded student and teachers ' | of our school. Since the unknown!1 j w riter of school notes is under 1 to keep his name u secret, , you will have to think just who this • I man Paul Doyle is. However, we ' ; might say that he is a ferocious ■ : wallopper; he is a good student, 1 and he is right among us all the! while, intermingling with us as we ; up and down the halls and in jthc class rooms. On Sunday lie , to church and develops his , | spiritual powers. On week days', ! attends his classes regularly to , , i increase his mental capacity, while;, j at night he travels to Atlantic I ; | and develops the physical side ' | ! by knocking his opponents into j "Dreamland" in seventeen seconds. | certainly believes in develop- - , the three sided triangle of life, jj other night he was given a . in four rounds over an op- . that was considered for his , Now friends don't lie alarmed | over this man Doyle. He is a fine ; , fellow ,a good student and is al- | ready to hel panyone who is1, in need of help. FOR THE HOLIDAYS! i Hurrah, anil u dozen more of I them was given silently by the 1 student body last Thunulay morn- < ing when Supt, Stevens announced ' that there would he no school to- 1 morrow and Monday. He told ! them that the schools would re- ! open on Tuesday mornng. From ' general aspect of conditions in 1 the high school it was quite evi- • that the students as well as < the teachers were in jovial spirits in anticipation of the Easter holiNeedless to say that scores

of the students will find themselves | under the covers for ut least two | more than usual. , A NEW SCHOOL RULE Now "ain't that the cats?" The 1 members of the Atlantic City ' school faculty adopted a newruling which goes into effect im- - mediately. All ..students absent mnow on will lie required to ' sign a slip giving the cause of his absence and sign his name to the expression: "I give my word that the above statement is true." This! action was taken b > the teachers in view of the large number of un-j absentees, which havej worried the officials of late. Pun-j

t J ishment will Im given to the un-i 1 1 fortunate ones. • - 11 o! If such a ruling was made in our j' t ' schools we wonder what kind Of ex- 'J elcuses some of our students would;' < give. Wouldn't it Im interesting to; read some of them for an hour or)' I ! — j— I— i , * PLAY WAS BIG SUCCESS i A play was presented hv the;' " music class of the High School!' 'j which was thoiougldy enjoyed by!' all who attended. Credit i- entirely ! ' f due to Miss Corson for the achievement, involving upon her consider- : i I able work. ' The plot opens with Stanley in ' : love with Cynthia, whose ' father i t fjhas had some business difficulties i ..with Stanley's parent. By reason ji i of this Stanley is ejected from hisjt r beloved's home in an uncercmAn- 1 i ' manner. ; I t Cynthia concocts a scheme :c i whereby Stanley disguised ns a : t ; girl friend from Chigago, fin is ad-'t , inittnnre into Iter home. j I Stanley sets out to "vamp." Mr. A I Cynthia's father, requesting :l ■ to kiss her. Of course Mr. : -s . Perry complied, .just ns Mrs. Perry'' ' comes on the scene. To save the I situation Stanley takes off his wig j explaining the whole thing hail I l«en schemed as a joke upon her, a

Mr. Perry seeing no other alter- c . ; native corroborrates the statement ,j and. he thus compromised could do . no less than accept Stanley. , The caa{ included: Cynthia, so- ( v i j Mildred I-anznr; Stanley, j L Itohert Gordon; Mr. Perry, , t t: Russell le Touncau: Mrs.!) Perry, contralto, Uoseli Ryan. FORM A TRACK TEAM ! 1 Ijrst Monday noon. Physical Di-K ' rector Unger called a meeting of c * i nil the hoys interested in track j ' work in the assembly room, to;e ' discuss the possibility of forming j* ! u truck team. Mr. William Massey c ",Jr., was present and gave to the I ! ! nn ahumlatice of valuable n-jS ' j formation as to wiiat they would j c * to sacrifice if they went into ; a "! this. kind of work.

There is but one way to stabilize the world's currency and ! bring commercial progress. That is to fix definitely and finally the indemnity that Germnny is to pay. That indemnity tvlicn fixed should be underwritten. And when underwritten it would become valuable commercial paper throughout tho world. i As an Illustration: Suppose they say that Oermnny shall pay twenty billion kotd dollars, which Would Is) ! a very reasonable amount. Germany j . could pay that amouut. hut she I should lie given ality or eighty j years in which to pay it. Suppose ] we say eighty years. Then, she . would have to pay *250,(00,000 a If you fix the note at twenty billion dollars, turn the note over and let England and America endorse It, then It becomes north face value throughout the wnvhl and would be a good Investment for nny Individual or for any country. America could afford with England lo guarantee the payment of *250.000.000 per year to Franco aud Belgium. Looked at from a selfish standpoint, It would be worth commercially a thousand time* that amount ' of money to America anil England. Ii Fix the amount definitely and Anally. Give Germany eighty year* In which to-pay tt, endorse her note for that amount, underwrite her securities. ■ nd let her tiegln to reconstruct her commercial liiatltutloiia aud to outer the marts of the world. This la a plain, irimple, commonacute method of eatalillshlug commercial jieaee. progress and pros|>erIty. Away with the selfish Pharisees who reffise to adopt thin policy. Ihit It Into effect. Let America take her y'.aco as {he leader of tbs world. (j

RuJ ilioil More.— Then Act. | Our Population On The Jump 'T* HE Geological Congress whivh met in Canada states that * the United States is the world's chief source of coal supply, being accredited a supply of 3,854, 000,000, Ofn) metric tons. Canada eo n res next with 1 ,234,000,000,000 tons; China and Germany following in turn, with the United Kingdom vending up in last place with 190,000,000,000 metric tons. When we come to thinking in trillion;, ihc mind grows wabbly, but when wo visualize tho coal bins of the folks in thi* county and realize tho way the people have been cither frozen or exploited despite this 1 , 234.1 KX),000,000 tons wo don't feel so delighted that America stand* first in possession of the black diamonds. The relative figures show plain as a pikestaff that something is radically wrong not only with our economic system, but with the economic system of the entire world. While Americans were suffering from biting cold and could not obtain fuel all winter our railroads were busy carrying coal to Canada which has 1,234.000,000,000 tons of coal under her own soil. Coal admin- , islration failed to check extortionate prices and it completely1 collapsed in distribution that was anywhere near adequate. The result is n permanently higher level of coal cost for the con- , • sumer. With furnaces about closing and spring buds appearing cool dealers already are warning us that prices next year will bo ]| about the same ns they are now. True we know — or rather we j are advised — there will lie no strike, but what does that matter j where profits arc involved I j The dear old public must pay through the nose just t!io same.

Now We Are Thinking in Trillions j UK National Bureau of Economic Research shows that on * January, 1923, tho population of the United Slates stoo I nt 110,100,000, a gain of approximately four and ir half million , since the last census was taken. At the present rale of growth the population in the 1930 census will pass tlie 120,000.000 mark. The probability is that our population is even "'renter than officially set down. In a great many states births and deaths are ' not reported. Even in the nren that is registered a great many births and deaths escape being recorded. It is saf . assumu ■ that the unrecorded population lies in remote count disi.-iets. How puny seem tlie great cities of America when" , i>:isid- • crs that a majority of the known population plus on hundred ft per cent of the unrecorded population lives and find-. ■- being, in the villages of 5,000 population and less, and on the farms. What a deeping giant is this wonderful country America — what a market for the absorhtion of American manufacture a market practically untapped. The bias# smile of '.he city cava dweller serve only to prove his provincialism in the light of facts. Country America feeds him and his few millions, country America forms the backbone of his nation, it makes and unmakes the government under which he lives, it is the great hearted imI pie strong big brother that looks upon his idioeyncfacies with tolerant understanding. [j Possibly it inspired that American tern " Poor Fish."
