Reports state there is a lively scramble going cn. :o: The only person who can appre ciate how neglected the husband of a famous woman feels is a homely girl who has a pretty and popular sister. A Chicago man objects to paying alimony became, he says, his wife makes $300 a week playing poker. It must be trying to lose such a wife as that. -:o:- Let us save the Dewey flagship, Olympia, from the wreckers, for that is her threatened fate. Why not pre serve these old veterans, they have well earned all honor. :o:- In all the reports that have come from the President's fishing camp there has been no mention of the number of suckers that probably have much interfered with his pleasure. :o: A newspaper article has been writ ten about a fish that winks. It would be very disconcerting, we should think, to the fisherman in the middle of his story to have his captive wink. :o: Danger of excess muscular develop ment: "yien a fly settled behind the ear of a 220-pound man at Nice, France, he took a swing at it, knock ed himself cold, and was out five min utes. :o: A man who recently made the startling admission that he was "even with the world," confided that he had arrived at this unusual and happy state by owing as many as he didn't owe. :o: Julian Goldman of New York has returned from Italy with word of a discovery that installment buying was an old Roman custom. We had heard it said before that Rome wasn't bill ed in a day. :o: Secretary Davis says it is not too ffantastic to say that the time will come when the day's work can be done by pulling a lever or pressing a button. But there will still be golf. :o: A dispatch from Paris says that time has mellowed Gene Tunney's bearing toward the press. Tunney? Oh, yes, he was the fellow who spoke at Yale about something or other, wasn't he? -:o: Arab leaders in Jerusalem have been called together in extraordin ary conference, probably to find out if possible why their campaign isn't going better. At the present rate, it looks like their Job might string out all winter, and the Arab is not ordin arily a patient soul. :o: PAYING THE PENALTY New York is going after the reck less driver from a new angle of ap proach. In harmony with the gen eral policy of new traffic regulation which went into effect on the first day of September, automobile insur ance companies have been permitted by the state superintendent of, insur ance to add an extra ten per cent to the premium rate in the case of automobile owners or operators who have committed serious violations of the traffic laws. . The violations which draw this in surance rate penalty are: Reckless driving, where injury to person or property has resulted therefrom; speeding, where injury to person or property has resulted; driving with out an operator's license; driving while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of an accident without etop ping. Since under the new legisla tion, car owners or operators who have committed any of these offenses will be required to show evidence of financial responsibility to cover fu ture accidents, or give up the right to drive altogether, those who are not willing to surrender that right cannot evade the extra insurance pol icy will constitute the required evi dence of financial responsibility. To a considerable extent, there fore, New York would seem to have adopted the policy of compulsory automobile insurance. :o: ROCHESTER'S DISTINCTION The National Safety Council points out that Rochester. N. Y., has a claim to distinction such as few American cities, large or small, can claim. Rochester, which is a city of 328,- 000 citizens, passfd through three entire months this year without a single motor traffic death. Less distinguished, but topping all other cities is Baltimore, whose 830,- 00 inhabitants amnaged to go three weeks without a fatality. Those are marki for ether cities to copy. It would be a fine thing if citic3 could work up as mvoh rivalry over their traffic safety records as they now do, over exciting but less important things. . FOREST INFLUENCE ON CLIMATE The influence of deforestation on climate is no longer any subject of doubt. The lands of countries where the forests and woodlands have been materially cut off are notorious for their present lack of fertility and aridity, combined with ravaging floods at certain seasons of the year. In countries where the forests are being cut down and where still large tracts remain, it is noticeable the area of partial aridity is increasing, and while perhaps the decreasing rainfall in some districts may not be so noticeable, the distribution of the moisture from the skies is becoming more and more uneven. The forests especially along the head waters and the adjacent banks tends to hold the water as in a sponge, and the un dergrowth further assists in permit ting a more gradual flow of the run ning streams but the American habit is to first cut down the timber along the streams and in the heart of the forests to devastate immense tracts. It Is not alone the merchantable trees but lumbermen everywhere until of late, have been anything but careful, and the waste, sheer wanton waste, has been immense, to leave out of the calculation the millions of acres of forests destroyed by forest fires, the great majority of which have been the results of the grossest careless ness. It is. however, very gratifying to note that of late the country thru its national forestry commission and various state commissions are trying to repair the damages wrought, and while it is not possible to now re forest all the areas laid waste, yet increased care can be taken with the remaining woodlands, preventing for est fires, and reforesting in districts where the conditions will permit. The government is year by year increas ing the area of forest reserves, and states could do the same if wise ac tion prevented the cutting down cf a single tree on state lands and this course may preserve if it does not restore timbered areas, though it is stated the national government is at several points trying the experiment of planting trees on lands previously devastated and upon lands which have been practically iare for years. Able and thoughtful minds are con sidering this very important subject, for while possibly science may find substitutes for wood for building manufacturing and heating purposes science can not repair the unques tioned losses to the earth inflicted upon its climate, its water supply and health conditions. :o: A GUILT MAKING CHAMPION We have had all sorts of contests and champions of late, but now comes one, a 73-year-old Ohio man, who lays claim to being the champ ion quilt-maker of the country after winning in a nation-wide contest in which 1,500 persons participated, all but two of whom were women. For a man to be able to make a quilt at all seems quite an accomp lishment these days, much less to win first place in competition with 1,498 women. The winner's sewing as well as the design of the quilt was ad judged worthy of first prize. The art of quilt-making, once highly cherished, is rapidly disap pearing and as soon as the present generation passes it will be forgot ten entirely. There are comparative ly few persons in Nebraska, even in the remote rural districts, today who even know how to make a quilt. much less being able to make one. The Ohio winner, nevertheless, de serves credit for his skill. The time was when an accomplished quilt- maker was considered an asset to the community. The Ohio gentleman has merely outlived the usefulness of his art. :o: MORE LIGHT IS NEEDED It is to be hoped that the Senate will begin an immediate and thor ough investigation of the various charges relating to paid propaganda in connection with the government's naval building program. Such an investigation is called for all the more ungently because of the fact that four American rear admir als stand accused of fostering "big- navy" propaganda at a time when their government was trying to reach agreement' with a foreign power for naval reduction. Both friends and foes of a large naval establishment should Join in insisting upon this investigation. The disclosures made so far hint at an ugly situation, and all possible light on the matter as imperatively need ed. :o: : It is reported that the national Re publican machinery is to be worked over to suit the Ideas of President Hoover. The impression is gradually soaking in that Mrs. Hoover is not altogether ignorant of politics. DOUDLE ACTION First In the dough Then in ttae oren Same Pffiee for over 38 years 25 ounces for 25 Use less than of high priced brands MILLIONS OF POUNDS USED BT OUR GOVERNMENT NO REPARATION BONDS FOR US JJuring tne debate in tne i-Tencn parliament over the ratification oi the debt settlement as arranged be tween Secretary Mellon and Beren ger of France, all attempts to include or attach reservations were defeated. One of these was that payments were to be made out of the reparation sums paid to France by Germany, but as a reservation or part of the rati fication, this was defeated. What was done was the adoption of a resolu tion separately declaring payments on the debt account should be met by similar amounts from the reparation funds as naid. This in nowise binds us or concerns us. the only effect being than: the reparation monies are to be used solely for this purpose and no other. It is true that the share of France and German reparation is i ,,o .t ... . , tlement calls for, and thus France is fortunate in having this as a source of revenue, with every reasonable certaintv Germanv will Dav as aereed. Thus said Prance is fortunate in having this large sum coming from her defeated foe to utilize in liquid ating its great debt to us of over $4,000,000,000, but there are no Ktrinirs attached to comDlicate the V. . n .-v j-m thai French side of the house, and should not Germany come to time as pay- ments fall due, then the finance min- IstPr of France must die: ud from -i .1 tn v . hl i w. having agreed to pay as promised. Thus we take no chances in the re- paration matter. There tt-ns r.rmirfrahi talk Murine , . .. . the proceedings attending the read- justing of the German reparation conference, of floating a great bond issue in the United States wherewith to take up the German reparation payments, or to iook to uermany to . maKe. buouia our country De guniy of such a silly financial performance, it will lose whatever financial repu- tation it enjoyed.

This has nothing to do with tkfnfr bonds from German mnnici- ,. pamies, or uerman corporaiious, tnere tne same factors exist as to loaning funds or buying bond issues. Our own country can supply all the bonds needed for investment purpos es. The market is always good. o: PUBLIC SAFETY How to stop accidents? The ques tion is one of civilization's most im portant. To find some possible solu tion to the problem the Annal Safe ty Congress will meet In Chicago from September 29 to October 5. Will it find the answer?

The traffic officers do what they can, but they cannot cure hu man idiosyncrasy or human selfish ness and Indifference. They are the officers of the law, yes; but they are handicapped. What can they do when you and I violate the heirs of said deceased, their de iU i j . .. . x Igree of kinship and the right of de- the law and restort to all the subter- I . ;i , fuges we know?

Ten days after the City of San Francisco disaster. which cost eight lives, the T. A. T, has resumed service, and better ser- vice, for It is supplementing its air fleet with two new Curtiss-Condor 18-pa&3enger planes, the last word in American aviation facilities,, and Monday four were recorded. Deplor able as these accidents are, each un- i doubtedly will teach a lesson pro ductive 6f greater safety in future. Ocean disasters do not stop steam ship service, and trains still are con sidered trustworthy after railway ac cidents. Likewise, aviation cannot be stopped by the regrettable misfcrtune of its pioneer days Lord Thomas, Secretary of State for Air in the British Labor Cabinet, expressed the situation wisely and succinctly when he said 'Aviation requires more faith, more courage and more knowledge than almost any other line in which nrosrress is being: soueht bv human bptng..
