Up go the valuations! :o: Some are of the opinion that fat women are among those who wish to be weighed and found wanting. :o: A Chicago psychologist announces that America's mentality is slipping. So that accounts for the marathon dances. o:o .. Russia Is exporting grain to sta bilize the ruble. While the ruble Is being stabilized who's to feed the Russian people? We wonder. :o: It transpires that in Russia it cost only 20 cents to get a divorce. But then, one has to reflect it's a so viet divorce and probably isn't worth 20 cents. Honolulu has the world's most ef ficient phone system, which need not be so darn efficient. - :o: There are more ducks in China than in all the rest of the world, but not more smart ducks. :o: Thousands of husbands today owe their lives to the fact that women shot with both eyes shut. o:o The children may enjoy learning an Evansville (Ind.) teacher was ar rested for whipping a boy. as :o:- Our position is that no woman has got more sense than her husband, unless he admits it himself. :o: A Seattle society woman has a lion for a pet and we just wondered if hubby puts it out every night.

And those who take advantage of the of ferings will be the lucky ones. :o: If Americans, to gain the right to tax themselves, defied the power of kings, shall they relinquish it to bosses? :o: Our guess is that it is difficult sometimes for a deaf person to tell whether a woman is talking or chew ing gum. o:o : Of course Eve may have been naughty In some ways, but simpli city was the predominant note in her dress. :o: ' It has just about gotten eo in this country that the men who have good spring gardens can be guessed by their breath. -:o: :o:- About the only useful thing the dance marathons have proved Is that the scientists were wrong when they said motor cars were putting legs out out of existence. -:o:- The progressive way to die nowa days Is to be hit by a motor car. A good many still die in bed, but there by lay themselves open to the charge of being reactionary. :o: An Ohio woman was sent to an asylum because she had been talk ing steadily for six days and was un able to stop. But we are unable to explain why this poor woman was singled out. o:o A committee of the Illinois legis lature appointed to investigate the Herrin murders has not been able to extract any information from wit nesses. The witnesses evidently think the committee is merely a court of justice. Five thousand or more - boys and girls are about to graduate from Ne braska accredited high schools. We hope all of them can go te- eollege next. year. But if they can't they havo the assurance that a complete high school course gives one pretty fair start is- -life. - Le4 ft people began life with less and did well but the doing was hard. . The bald headed man may have some inconveniences, but his condi tion proves that he had something under his hair. :o: The old fashioned girl who danced sedately now has a daughter who thinks the polka was a piece of iron to punch the fire with. :o: And the idea that brides will some time tote pistols to the marriage al tar Is repulslva to any man who wants to take several chances. :o: An Illinois woman has 12 hus bands. A Pennsylvania man has 22 wives. We suggest the two be pun ished by marrying each other. :o: Money doesn't always bring hap piness. An American sailor who ex changed a $100 bill in Odessa Rus sia, got 12,960,000 rubles for it. Enforcing prohibition Is taking millions of dollars and salaried men are reaping the benefit. When will common sense people see the folly? to: Victor Berger has gone to Europe to study conditions.
