It may not be hard to recall how the prob lem of one Roscoe Arbuckle was set tled. :o: BE IT RESOLVED We propose the following resolu tions be adopted by the bored: Whereas, New Year's day has A blame fool habit of coming around only ounce every year. And, whereas the man who said the good die young really was talk ing about good resolutions. Also, whereas it is the same old bunch of good resolutions that die young every yeai. Another whereas breaking resolu tions weakens the will power and won't power of everybody. Fourth whereas breaking resolu tions destroys a man's self respect and his reputation. Last whereas, the same old set of resolutions have been made over un til they are worn out. Therefore, be it resolved by the bored, that the old resolutions will not be dug up this year. Further resolved, that in place of resolutions we try to do the best we can during 1924. And further resolved, taht it will be impossible for us to do any bet ter than the best we can.' Still further resolved, that doing the best we can gives more scope than any set of resolutions. . And lastly- resolved; that tho only resolution we will resolve Is not-to make any resolutions. We set our-hand this date and sit to think it over. FEARFUL HIRAM Senator Hiram Johnson's friends say he is a courageous man, a man who is never daunted by odds against him, a man who fears naught and fights with enthusiasm. But there is one thing Senator Johnson is afraid of. It is the league of nations. His teeth chatter and his knees knock together when he dreams of the league of nations. "Take it away!" screams Senator Johnson when some friend or enemy hoists the league of nations into view. "Avaunt, foul fiend." the gentleman from Cali fornia shrieks when the league of na tions rises before him in his moments of reflection. The poor man is be set by the L. of N. complex. He sees it in his soup, he hears it in the wind, he noses it out when he strolls in the leafy lanes of Rock Creek park. Con vinced that the L. of N. is a butcher and that this America of oxirs is a sheep, Senator Johnson stands ap palled on every platform when he contemplates for the instruction of the audience, our poor little republic being led, bleating, to the slaughter at Geneva. To suggest to Senator Johnson that our country can take care of itself and at the same time contribute something to the confi dence of less sturdy sheep is to insult him. Doesn't he know how easily our country can be fooled, how smart and shrewd foreigners can be and how guileless and bland Americans can be? Senator Johnson may never bo president, but if he ever does, no one need doubt that he will pull the shades down, doublebar the door, blow out the gas and hide under the bed whenever the call of duty comes from any distance. :o: A POOR LEAP YEAR Although a firm believer in matri mony, we are not an optimist at all times and under all circumstances. For this reason, we are inclined to the belief that 1924 will not be a notable year in the number of pro posals direct from members of the fair sex. The truth of the matter is that girls nowadays dont care about Leap Year because they are not as crazy about getting married as girls used to be. As things now are girls make their own money and buy their own clothes and go their own way without worrying over anything. They leave worriments to their married sisters. However, a girl does get married once in a while. Marriage is still a respected if not exactly a revered in stitution. But just because a mod ern girl fails to discover or be dis covered by her ideal man is no sign that she will hang her harp on Ihe weeping willow tree and become an exile from happiness. Marriage was an economic proposition for women all through the dusty centuries of the past. It was only with the beginning of the twentieth century that wom en began to get the side that they could make their way in the world by doing useful work, just as men have always done. To tell a smart girl now that she would do well to marry am an who Is not her equal in education, breeding or character in order that he may give her a home is to underestimate her self reliance and self respect. Some misanthropic men view the new condition with alarm. They are convinced that any departure from age-old social tradi tions must eventuate in ruin. They assume, because their fathers did, that woman's highest duty is to seek a husband and bear children. Per haps it is her highest happiness to love and be loved, to marry and be a mother, but the duty part of it is an other matter. It is not woman's duty to sacrifice herself to a tradition. :o: THE TIME TO CHANGE If you had your life to live over again you think you would do much differently than you have done. At the same time you do not change the course you are following at the present time. Ten years hence are you going to look back at the preesnt time and re gret that you did not take chances? If you know you are steering in directly, if you know that an effort on your part would make your life worth while, why not be guided by the good judgment which now is promping you? You know you are making or tak ing opportunities to put yourself ahead and are not making as much of yourself as you might. You realize that you shoulr create opportunities for yourself, but that would necessitate effort and self de nial on your part, and you do not want to make the exertion. Why live so that your last years will be vain regrets? Just because you did not get start ed right is no reason why you should add another day of the wrong direc tion, when a change would amply re pay. Journal want ads pay.

GOGLSDGE SEEKS TO DELAY ACTION CM SOLDIER BONUS ! Plan is to Keep Tax Talk to Front Until Compensation Measure is Killed. Washington, Jan. 8. President Coolidge has thrown his influence back o the move of the house leaders to delay the soldiers' bonus until af ter a tax bill has been reported from the ways and me-ans committee. The president regards it as highly desirable that the tax reduction leg islation shall be approved at the earliest possible date because of the beneficial effect upon business such action will have. Accordingly he ap proves the plan of Representative Longworth, republican, Ohio, major ity leader of the house, to head eft the resolution to be proposed in the conference of house republicans set for Thursday night under which the ways and means committee would be instructed to report out the bonus biil within a specified period. While Mr. Longworth and fellow leaders were convinced that the bo nus was killed, this view was not shared by Representatives Fish, Johnson and Andrew. They still de clared they could put the bonus measure to the fore. To Help Business The president in favoring early ac tion on the tax legislation does not have it in mind that the tax reduc tions could be made effective at once, but rather that the definite in lormi'tioii as to a cut in tax rates would immediately be reflected in re newed business activities. President Coolidge, it was also stated at the White House, is opposed to the democratic tax program an nounced by Representative Garner, democrat, Texas, ranking minority member of the ways and means com mittee. According to the president's view, the general policy of the Mel lon plan is to encourage investments in business enterprises instead of tax exempt securities, and this is not true of the Garner plan, he holds, ex cept in a slight degree. Confidence that the house repub lican conference on Thursday night ill instruct the ways and means committee to de'er a tion on the sol diers' bonus bill until after a tax bill is reported was expressed by repu lican Leader Longworth. Under the program for the confer ence the e::-seri e .r.o .lticrs .ii. m fer a resolution instructing the ways and means tommiitee to r.por. uo nus bill not liter than January 12. Representative Longworth will move as a substitute that the ways and moans (ommites consider no other legislation until the tax bill is re ported. Mr. Longworth will seek to avoid taking sides either for or against the bonus, but will counter tho issue in legislative procedure. Spokesmen for the ex-service men insisted that the conference will ap prove the resolution instructing the ways and means committee to report cut the bonus bill. If the move to delay the bonus is successful it will give the opponents of this legislation that much more time to plan for its final defeat. One prominent republican leader in the house expressed the opinion today that there is now a bare possibility that the bonus bill cannot muster a two-thirds vote sufficient for its pas sago over the president's veto in the house. Heretofore there has been a possibility that a two-thirds vote could rot be obtained in the senate, but favorable action in the house was regarded as assured. If the tax bill is given the right of way in the ways and means commit tee it is not likely to be reported be fore some time in February at the earliest. The committee today con tinued work on administrative pro visions, but has not half completed , this portion of the measure. BAD FIRE AT MANLEY Frem f Inesl;iy s Daily This morning at an early hour the handsome residence of Herman Dall at Manley was destroyed by fire which it is thought originated from a defective flue. The family had a hard coal burner in the home and it was from the flue which this stove was piped to that caused the lire. The neighbors hastened to the scene of the fire and assisted in getting out the furniture but despite the fa ft there was plenty of water avail able the fire could not be reached it beirg largely in the walls and roof of the building and causing a vcrv great loss. The house was erected four years ago at tho cost of ill 000 and Mr Dall had some insurance on he building but it is estimated that the loss will be eloso to $3,000 on he house. -The f.nnily received all the aid possible from the residents or Manloy and the men of the co " ! ;mnt.v fought the re for ,lou;sMn the hope of Bavin- the homo State Farmers' j. iigcc, resident a, d b s C5' Cn,raC" fr lest Cheap- brln ?,TnCe C"mpa,,5' doing business in Ne- O iVoll i, 'rssts l'r"mP"'- Over 5.000 members.

THUESDAY, JANUARY 10, Iff NEED FOR MORE DEFINITE INFOR MATION ON FIRES Careless Reporting of Fires Causes - Delays That are Dangerous To Safety of City. The fire department has in the last few weeks experienced more or less trouble in answering fire calls be cause of the careless manner in which the alarms were given to the central at the telephone office and which has caused the department to have to drive the truck oyer half of the city before the location of the fire was definitely found. On the occasion of the fire at the Green residence in the extreme southwest part of the city the loca tion was given as near the Godwin residence near the Columbian school and going there the firemen found that the Godwin family did not re side there any more and the fire was not in that neighborhood, a searcn was then made over the entire part of South Park until it was found that the fire was located two blocks west of Chicago avenue, more than a mile from the place reported. Last evening the department was given the alarm as being at the home of R. L. Propst and the fire truck was then sent out Washington ave nue to look for the fire and later the report was given as at the Charles Troop home on Chicago avenue and arriving there the department found that the fire was at the Walter Propst home, a block west of the Troop place and had the fire been a revere one tho house would have been practically destroyed before the de partment reached there. It is usually the case that fire "larms rre given under great stress of excitement but everyone should en r'envor to p-ive 'be telenhone operator "nrre t vd definite information as to where the lire is lo-ated if the fire 'Vnar'ment is to have an oportunity f net'ing there iwthout Iocs of val uable time. One of the best ways to do Is to have a card fastened to their tele phono trb-irtg their number and street end in reporting the fire give this in formation to the operator so that here will be no delay in getting the 'vo triK-k to the sene of action. v!?ny of the new residents of the city "ro r.ot familiar with the locality in '"hieh tey live but if they give their "v.t, number and s'ree address in re or'irg fires it will expedite matters d will result in saving a great -onertv loss some time when there Is a real fire.
