Austria claims to have the best detective force in the world. :a: - A silly woman tries to drive a man; a wise one leads him. :o: Our failures are due to ourselves more often than to other people. :o: It's climbing hills before they come to them that makes some peo ple tired. j :o: j The flow of reason needs no levees to protect from rising above the flood danger line. j :o: Perhaps people can be made to be good, that is on theoutside. The in- ' side is different. i :o:- l Everv mother knows that her own 1 children are superior ,to any ether children on the market. -ro:- science is now looking after the ocean floor in search of oil. Science does not economics. :o:- A Tennessee woman, SO years old. has never seen an automobile. And if she keeps on that way, there's no reason why she shouldn't live to be a hundred. -:o:- When Earl Carroll gets back to Broadway he may find that putting a nude chorus girl In a tub of syn thetic champaigne is a very mild form of amusement. ' :o: "There was a great deal of under ground work in the last election," remarked the Mexicar guide as he conducted the visitor through the cemetery, "and here is some of it." :o: Five more generals, says a dis patch, have joined the Gomez insur- : rection in Mexictr. They never have any trouble getting generals, but . they're always short of private sol-j diers. ' :o: ! Dean Inge predicts that we shall have a childless world in 1950. Still, we believe there will be a larger number of babies here at that time ! and also old people to effatter just as childlishly as he does. :c:- A poll taken by the New York World shows a very strong sentiment I in the belt of western states for abol-j ition of the two-thirds rule in Demo cratic national conventions, or at least a substantial modification. :o: "The Civil Service Commission can not perform miracles. We do .not ' promise the impossible, nor will the j entire character of the service be changed in thetwinkling of an eye,' but I am willing to say this that given seven years, the length of time elapsed rince the Volstead law be came effeective, we promise you re suits." z Baking mm z "Here's to the Stork, a valuable bird, Who inhabits 'the residence dis tricts. He doesn't sing tunes or yield any plumes. But he helps out the vital statistics. :o:- Many a girl shatters her ideal when she married him. -:o: The ignorance of a lawyer isn't bliss for his client. -:o: Starched goods doesn't command a stiff price. always -:o:- Snow fell in Eastern France early in September this year. :o: The more you see of some people the 7ess you are satisfied. -:o:- Vou can't always judge the show by the price of admission. to: Fortune is sometimes fickle, but misfortune is always sincere. -:o:- Sometimes a girl's diary always turns out to be a scrap book. :cn- It is always the darkest before dawn. Just so with other things. We realize that the world is set ting better when it begins to sit up and look our way. :o: If you want to gc as a delegate to the convention, you will have to take a political course.- :o: We suppose turkeys are being fat tened up for Thanksgiving. Eat they don't realize it. A poet arrested in New Jersey for reckless driving probably was de pending upon his poetic license. It looks like France and Germany really want to get together again. But the only way is to leave the war guilt feature out. :o: "Less than an hour after the duck hunting season opened, a Milwaukee man stepped a load of buckshot." Why do they use buckshot for ducks? :o: When one does a graceful thing, it feels better to have some one else pat them on the back than to do this yourself. Self-congratulations don't hit the spot. After the Enrlish channel disclos ures, we are beset by the horrid sus picion that the banana-eating cham pion of 1927 is merely an expert sword-swallower. -:o: It doesn't lie in the mouths of Am ericans who live in Oshkdsh, Ocono mowoc, Punxsat waney, and Schnec tady to laugh at the funr.y names of Chinese towns that they see in the newspapers. :o: . Now, that a Los Angeles woman has been sentenced to jail for having failed to pay her husband " alimony, the fact seems to have been estab lished that complete sex equality has finally been attained. :o: Further progress has been made in clarifying the Republican presiden tial situation. Senator Vzz of Ol io is the latest statesman to learn th-.t when President Coolidge said "I 'lo not choose," he means precisely whj-.i he said. The surprising thing about the Fall-Sinclair trial is the ease with which a jury was secured. It was fense directly concerned with his of announced in advance that anyone fice, still clings desperately to that who had enough intelligent interest office and shuffles his appointive sub join the Nation's affairs to have read or heard of the Supreme Court's de- cision, concluding that fraud tainted thetransaction of the former Secre- tary of the Interior and the oil man,!

One wonders why, with so j "I know that if this indicament had much gouging of the people and such , been pending against me at the time f.agrant corruption in public affairs, I was appointed I would not have no political penalty has been exact- thought of accepting, and I do not c d by the people. Here we have the believe that the citizens of this city answer a very large portion of the , would have felt that it was a proper people are stupendously ignorant of appointment under such circum- nll governmental proceedings, and unashamed. This jury is said to look more in- telligent than that which promptly acquitted Mr. Fall and Mr. Dohcny. Of course, this is not extravagant praise. Another interesting thing about the jury is that it is to be at liberty during the trial. It seems there was some criticism because the jury in the Fall-Dohney case was locked up. Who complaintd? And why? Since when did it become a novelty to lock up juries? There are two reasons for with drawing the jury from all outside contacts during a trial. One is to prevent pressure from being brought to bear upon the jurors, irrespective of the weight of evidence; the other is to prevent any tampering with jurors. The court in . this case evi dently feels that the defendants or their representatives are entirely above such things. Thus, the jurors are free, and oprn to approach from all quarters. :o: THINKING AND HOLLERING John Clarkson. veteran newspaper reporter, contributes a clever and caustic article to the current issue cf the American Magazine on the sub ject of campign oratory. Like all st-asoned reporters, Clark son is "agin" oratory, especially the campaign brand, and he recites sev eral incidents where loud-mouth de magogues have triumphed over- sub stantial statesmen merely because. of the ability of the demagogue to pile adjective upon adjective, and make a great deal of sound while, in real- -v curinP- nntHrc r t .ill 1 Clarkson recites one story that might well have happened during gubernatorial campaign. One after noon while reporting a political rpoet-i ing he noticed a big-hatted farmer in the crowd who stood glum, silent, and disinterested while several speak ers intelligently discussed the real issues of the campaign. Finally the favorite candidate of this farmer rose I up. and the farmer commenced to yell lurtily. Edging his way over to ward the enthusiast. Clarkson ask ed: "What do you think of this prqf posul to change the tax system? "Think?" shouted the farmer. "Aw. hell, I didnt's come here to think! I came here to holler! And holier he did! That's what happen in Nebraska last political, campaign. There was a lot of hollering but darned little thinking. :o: ROME'S PRAGMATIC ATTELA Mussolini strikes a racial in the Latin people by his latest proscrib ing holidays. F-tes, festivals, fiestas have been immemorialy dear to the T.Iediterranian temperature "What Attila has come to goven Rome?" in quires the precious dust along the Appiun Way. The Attila of pragmatism, the Goths and vandals of economic nec essity. Away with the spirit " of gayety, the trapping of splendor, the genius of the carnival. It is to be six-day week in Italy. It will be all right to utilize Sunday for whatever celebrations tradition or emotion re quires, but the day's work will be subject to no historic interruptions. Mussolini may be right, only from i th viewpoint of efficiency but from the viewpoint of imperial safety. Would there have been an idea of March in Caesar's calendar except for the Lupercal on which he thrice refused the crown? Neither Luper cal nor ideas of March for Mus solini.. The "bread-and-the-circus" formula is bottled up. Italy will achieve the golden age only by getting down to brass tacks. Such is Mussolini's philosophy, com pressed in a paradox that undeniably has in this instance the merit of com mon sense? :o:- There was more editorial space on fire prevention week for any other so-called week. The mayor of Indianapolis, indict ed, tried, and convicted for an of- ordinates around so as to get his wife in position to become his successor if the office which he disgraces shall be wrenched out of his own grasp. One of his appointees, indicted, I stances. They could rightfully have said that surely there could be found a man to fill this important posi- j tion who is not under indictment, j If under an indictment I would not i he a proper person to continue to held the office." One can have for this man a degree of respect utterly impossible in the ' case of Mayor uuvai, since tne mayor . has shown a callous lack of respect for himself, and for the city of In dianapolis, which had honored him iy entrusting its highest official position to his keeping. :o:- G00D ADVICE "Keep the Mississippi river in its banks and out of politics," says Dwight W. Davis, secretary of war. That's a pungent paragraph, chock full of common sense. "Keep the Mississippi river in its hanks and out of politics." The sentence ought to be emblaz oned in letters four feet high, and placed over the main entrance cf the capiiol building at Washington. If the food control problem is dis cussed by Congress in its economic aspect, speedy action v.ill follow. If politics i" injected, the melancholy history of Muscle Shoals will be re peated. Secretary Davis has given a bit of advice equally good for Republicans and Democrats'. The first man who attempts to play politics with the flood control question ought to be kicked out of Congress. :o: A EAD IDEA FOB HUMOR The scene was a little Pecnsyl- vauia town wnere several nunureu men were working on a construc tion job. It was nearly noon and the men were gettisg hungry. They 'awaited and eyed their dinner pails j hungrily, j There was a wag fh the crowd. (There was in the gang one of those t fellows they call "the life of the j party," who turns the laugh to everyone s expense save nis own. ii would be fun to i ttaeh a live wire to one cf the dinner pails and se the man jump when he touched it. It was fun. The boy whose dinner pail was wired, a youth of seventeen, reached for his bucket and that was his last reach. The strong current killed him. Another practical jker reaped the fruits of his ignorant de signs. Practical jokers are not nice people to have around. :o: SPEED Fourteen years ago the first Schnei der cup race for seaplanes was won by France. The pii t made a speed of 4 4.7 miles an hour, and the world was wonde ring if a plane ever .would go faster than an automobile. The other day a British plane shot through the air at a rate of 2S1-4 8S miles an hour to win the same tro phy. When you figure that a .sprint er running the hundred-yard dash in ten ' seconds, you begin to realize what the word "flying" means. Compared with that, a bullet tra vels like a schoolboy's paper-wad. Avoid Excess Uric Acid! To B WelZ There Must Be Proper Kidney Action.

They are having one just now in Bolivia. Three recent travelers have told us what is the matter with Bol ivia. Nine-tenths of the people in Bolivia are exploited by the other tenth. You can se the sort of thing that inspired "The Man With the Hoe" all over the county a people debased in body and intellect until they are of no use either to those who hold them in bondage or them selves. They have at last revolted. What else could they do? :o: A correspondent asks: "What is ' wc Ffrt.-Tro ,v,rt v.-vri nt Viiiinfi , l a cockroach?'
