' :o:- - If Woodrow Wilson and Secretary Hughes should fight a duel in Wash ington it would create a good deal of excitement and the picture hights would be worth a lot of money. But in some parts of Europe nothing much would be thought of a meeting of this kind. The war minister and former president of Poland fought a duel the other' day. One had made statements which the other resented and a meeting on the field of honor seemed necessary. The two war- liors clashed, but it appears that the engagement was not a tragic one. So far as learned not a drop of blood was shed. The two rivals took a few shots at one another without a punc ture being recorded and were then parted. Honor was satisfied and what more could be asked?.

Many generations of literary men have come and gone during the past 1923 years, but we have had no better writers than Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Dr. Van Loon says there are a lot of people who just won't read the Bible as it appears now, and it s for their benefit that he has undertaken the Job of rewriting the volumn. It Is true that a lot of folks do not read the Bible, and it is a hard job to induce them 0 do so, but Just how they can be benefited by the atrosity. which Dr. Van Loon pro poses to penetrate is beyond conjec ture.

UQUNTIBiG PEKSI0US PensIop gtilT are being pa(4 to widows of veterans 01 the war 01 1812. ' 'Plainly a man Is never too old to marry if he has a pension. And there are women ready to marry him even though he has one or both feet In the graye or Js 1 in except his chin whiskers.' It seems reasonable to assume that the widow of a man old enough to fight foi; his 'country 110 years agq must have been, a couple of genera tions, younger than her bridegroom on her wedding day, and it Isn't of ten that such marriages are arrang ed entirely because, qf love. This ought to make, us look ahead as well as behind. In the late war we called more men to the colors than there were men, women and children in the - entire country in 1812. Fifty years hence there will be twenty times as many veterans of our latest army as there were vet erans of the war of 1812 and human nature will not have changed a bit. Men will be just as foolish and some women just as business-like In matri monial matters then as they are nqw and have been for ages. It may be necessary to pass a law. making any woman who marries a I world war veteran" more han fifty years her senior ineligible for his pension after his death. That would prevent a fearful drain on the treas ury one hundred years hence. And otherwise, wars may come and wars may go, but pensions will go on forever. A WIDOW'S PENSION How long should a widow wait un til she marries again? The answer, of course, depends upon circum stances and conditions. Some wid-4 ows d"o- not remarry, such being a matter of choice with them. Some, of course, are not marriageable, for reasons. These are not under dis cussion. There Is a time honored custom that a widow should wear weeds for a year. Weeds are often cumbersome and unhealthful and the custom becomes a trial as well as a menace. ' Ostentatous mourning is often as indecorous as the lack of mourning. Good taste would seem to dictate that some sane expression of grief should he worn. Good taste, or form, too should determine that a widow who respected her late, hus band and public opinion should wait a year at least before assuming wife hood with" another. A few: days ago the widow of the late Lord Northcliffe was remar ried. Her deceased spouse was one of the world's most eminent men. He was a great newspaper publisher and statesman. During his career he achieved so tremendously that the gaze of the world attached itself to him. He was highly respected ev erywhere. His success was marked. He left not only a good name but a lordly fortune. 1 He died last.August and the world was shocked. A great fufteral was his and many mourners. f His widow couldn't have been over-much grieved. But she did owe the proprieties enough to have wait ed a bit longer. Evidently she be gan some time earlier to j heed the wooings of the man whom she mar ried. She should have waited. Us ing funeral baked meats furnish a wedding feast Is certainly not good form. There was time. Such un seemly rush to again blossom forth In the ' gew-gaws of- bridehood . de serves the rebuke it will doubtless receive. English society is conserva tive. Its traditions are not easily violated. The lady will doubtless be made to feel the indignation precip itancy has aroused. And. It will be well enough t she does. :o: AUTO PRODUCTION Four auto companies'' now have prqduced more than a million cars apiece since they started business. Willy-Overland is the latest. Buick and Chevrolet passed the million mark early this year. Dodge soon will be the fifth to reach the mark. Ford hit the million goal several years ago. He's getting along to 8,000,000. cars produced. These figures don't mean much unless you recall .the old dayswhen the "horseless carriage" struck most people as a fad or, at best, an inno vation limited in its' power of growth. It's dangerous to condemn anything new or predict its future GOLD AND SILVER Gold and silver mine owners are going 'to the next congress to get .'theirs." They contend there is justification in the attitude of con gres8men who would ' alleviate the djfflfultiea of those who produce our food without doing sqmpthingJas well well tor those who produce our gold arid, silverl " ' " As for the silver men they rjceiv enougn oi a bonus wntn -the Pitt man act was parsed, which, cqmmit- puLTTmaxrnr csn vj lar. iy jqttwiai Fresh Fruits are Plentiful I Use the short CERTO-Process for snaking jatn ab4 jelly with Berries, Cherries, Peaches ana other fruits in season.

Certainly they would not think seriously of such measures of amelioration as were seriously con sidered during the low price regime that followed the Civil war. No more justification can be found for measures that would increase the output of American mines. Already one of the "gravest financial prob lems is that an abnormal supply of gold in the vaults' of the treasury and the banks. To increase that supply with any kind of government as sistance and at the expense of the taxpayers would be the height cf folly. Senator Oddie of Nevada can car ry his investigation of the gold and silver situation as far as the lilies. He will not enlist enough sympathy for the" poor gold and silver miners to wring a cent's worth of assistance. for them from the hands of congress. :o:- : WH YTHEY FLUNK A Northwestern, university profes sor has been at considerable pains to learn why sixteen out of eyery one hundred college students fail. Is it for lack of ability, financial or other worry, Illness or what? Having interviewed a large num ber of delinquents, he attributes the failure of college undergraduates to ''too little sleep, too much play, not enough study, too much leisure."e The delinquents, it appears, are made up largely of students of average in telligence which is applied not in study and in useful recreation but n the scores and hundreds of outside activities which in the minds of an increasing number of undergrad uates constitute the real campus life: The increased emphasis received by these activities in most colleges in recent years may prove ultimately to be a wholesome thing. But the ques tion must present itself to every col lege graduate of twenty years ago or more when he read a daily college calendar: When do the students of today do their studying? The answer as based upon the Northwestern investigation seems to be: They don't; they can't find the time. - Every undergraduate body con tains no small number of students who would willingly flunk a course or two as a condition to becoming the headliner in the college play or leader of the glee club. That is the reason for sixteen failures in every hundred and few of them are the source of any genuine regret. : :o: MOVIES MOVING There are now eighteen thousand movie theatres in the United States, with an attendance of 50 million ticket buyers a week, according to a trade estimate. Which means the average person goes to the movies once every two weeks. Ed son was right when he said: "Whooyer controls the motion pic ture industry controls the most pow erful medium of influence over the people." The chrqnic movie goer is an emo tional drifnkard- John Barleycorn, after all, had in his favor that he was'mqre of a physical' and mental stimulant than an excitant of the emotiqns. - .
