SOMETHING TO GLOAT OVER Young Couple,, Might Not H»ye Car, but They Surely Had the “Wherewithal." , Miss Cecil Leltch, the British golf champion, said on the Montrose: "There’s a great change In post-war Europe. Before the war Europe was economical. Now she’s extravagant. “I heard a story the other day about a young European wife who said to her husband: “ ‘My dear, we now have $1,500 In the savings bank.* “ ‘Grand! Fine!’ said the young man. “ ‘And we’re the only family in this street,’ she went on, ’that bos not got a motorcar.’ ** ‘But we*ve got something,’ said he, ‘that no other family has.’ " ‘What?’ " ‘Why, th© price of one,* said the young man.” WHY TAKE ~ LAXATIVES? Discovery by Science Has Replaced Them. Pills and salts give temporary reliel from constipation only at the expense of permanent Injury, says an eminent medical authority. Science has found a newer, better way—a means as simple as Nature it self. In perfect health a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft and moving. But when constipation exists this natural lubricant s is not sufficient. Doctors prescribe Nujol because it acts like this natural lubricant and thus secures regular bowel movements by Nature’s own method—lubrication. As Nujol is not a medicine or laxa tive, it cannot gripe and, like pure water, it is harmless and pleasant. Nujol is used In leading hospitals. Get a bottle from your druggist today.—Advertisement. Hard Lying. Some members of the British navy get extra pay for “hard lying.” This has nothing to do with spying or other intelligence work or conducting visi tors over the fleet or writing reports, as might be surmised. It refers to the difficulties of sleeping in a nasty little torpedo boat or similai' craft which has not space enough to swing a com fortable hammock. The men had to sleep on hard flecks and compensation <vns awarded in addition to ordinary pay. In future all engaged in subma rine work are to have an additional allowance, according to a recent ad miralty order. Not Worth Risking. He—Miss Oldun can’t take s joke can she?

PRESIDENT TO REVIEW FLEET AT SEATTLE Washington, June 8—The navy de partment today ordered concentration of the United States battle fleet at Seattle, Washington, Julj; 27, for re view by President Harding.

I ' 7 : ' 3T0PPING A CITY LEAK. ONE of the perquisites of a city office in practically every muni cipality, in the nation today is being supplied with a publicly owned automobile for "official business.” Not only the police and fire depart ment officials, but everyone else from mayor to dogcatcher must be fur nished a motor vehicle for his indi vidual use. Providing these cars j has come to be looked upon as a justi fiable and necessary public expense. When the budget of Pittsburgh, pa., last year showed that the 40 city owned automobiles used in this way and the 21 men employed to look after them cost the city considerably over 1100,000 during the 12 months, the mayor and council decided, in the words of Jay House, that "something should be done about it.” So they placed the 40 limousines in storage, appropriated $25,000 for taxi hire "for city business only” and watched re sults. After five months it is ap parent that the plan will cost the city not to exceed $13,000 for the entire year,—$12,000 less than the 1922 ap propriation for upkeep of city owned autos alone. So, a few days ago, those 40 cars went on the auction block for what they would bring, and the 21 auto mechanics, chauffeurs, washers and other auto tenders were turned out to help reduce the labor shortage in other lines. The annual saving to the city will be not less than $100,000, it is predicted. This’sort of economy is not likely to prove popular with city officials at the outset. But city taxpayers m Sioux City or any other municipality would be justified in asking for a ! trial of the Pittsburgh plan as an economy measura. Auto salesmen need not worry. A reduction of city taxes would result in increased sales of autos to private individuals,—if such a thing ever came to pass. PROBABLY WANTS THE JOB. SOME constituent, unnamed, writes Congressman Davey of Ohio, ac cording to a Washington dispatch, that the crying need of the country now is for a ‘‘population bureau” which will keep watch of the in crease in numbers of human dwellers in this country and iiadvise parents whether to raise large or small fam ilies.” Sort of regulating the sup ply of babies to meet the demand, as it were. This forward looking individual calls attention to the doubling (he probably meant multiplying) of the 3,000,000 original population of this country 36 times until now we have 108,0p0,000 people dwelling in the republic. On this ratio he opines that in another 147 years there will be nearly 4,000,000,000 citizens crowded into America. Which moves him to sound a warning and suggest a remedy. This chap, whoever he is, has prob ably noted that all the multiplicity of present day government jobs are taken, with a long waiting list of will ing successors to the present incum bent for each one. If he has thought up a new bureau this country needs and doesn’t expect to be made the first head of that bureau as a reward for his idea he is a rare bird indeed. Increase in population may become a problem to be dealt with in this country sometime. It is no problem now, and will not be in this genera tion. The country can support many times its present population. But increase in government Jobs is a menace right now. If someone will create a bureau which will regu late the supply of public servants to the demand of the taxpayers he can have a Job by popular vote. To My Blue-Eyed Sweetheart. I’m sitting by the firelight. Thinking many thoughts of you. I’m drinking at memory's fountain. Drinking to your eyes so blue. What is fairer than the beauty Of your bonny winsome smile? In dreams I'm far from duty, I would travel many a mile. Just to fold my arms around you Hear your soft voice as you gay. “Dad. I love you. You're my sweetheart You're my sweetheart alway." So I sit and drf«m and pohder On the beauty of a child, Dike a flower in the garden yonder, Colors bright and fragrance mild. Nothing sweeter, nothing truer III the wide world so I say And I drink to the eyes that are bluer Than the sky abovs the day. Fairburn, S. D. —Gene Melton. Estimates by a government expert that not more than 45 or 50 per cent, of the South Dakota pig crop for this spring will ever be marketed because of heavy losses sustained by hog rais ers is important to many others be sides the farmers themselves. But most of the rest will not give it a thought until they find pork prices hopping up this fall and wipter, and then m*st will not remember what caused the condition. There is yet hope for the nation. A restaurant in an eastern city ad vertised an opportunity for women who could satisfy their masculine patrons with “pies like their mother, used to feed them," and got 339 re plies from culinary artists willing to taie a chance. ALLIES STUDY LATEST NOTE, FRAME REPLY Paris, June 8 — Advisability of framing a formal reply to the latest German reparations was discussed In Interchanges of opinion between al lied representatives today. Premier Poincare favors a policy of completely Ignoring the Cuna propos al to mortgage the German empire to pay her allied war debt. Belgian and British Interests, how ever, believe some sort of reply should be made and Poincare may be pressed to their view by the desire to present a united allied front. On the other hand, Italy Is under stood to join with the British and the Belgians in the belief that the newest German offer is at least more concil iatory than any previous proposals. BERLIN OPTIMI8TIC June fi^-4ieichstag leaders believe the note delivered at the allied capit als yesterday marks an advance over the German government’s previous reparations communications, especi ally since it more firmly stresses the > etch's good will and readiness to ar rive at a solution of the problem, and also because the subject of guaran tees Is given concrete form. Despite this, parlimentary circles are not displaying an excessive opti mism concerning the reception of the memorandum by the creditor powers. In this quarter It is believed that France has effectually blocked any at tempt by Bngland to create a favor able atmosphere for early negotiations by seeking to Influence Belgium and Italy.
