Champion Spark-Plugs Dependable for Every Engine Meaning of “Greyhound” Tlie “grey” In greyhound is not meant to represent the color of the animal. “Grey” is a Scandinavian word for hound, this particular species of an imal from that country having the name.

Scott Nearing, a former profes sor of economics, is telling his audi ences that the capitalist system is productive of evil and that Russia and China will eventually rise up and sweep it away from the decad ent West. It is curious how such an idea of ten will take an audience off its feet. But, of course, if a single member of the audience could see the miserable poverty in Russia, or could visit China, where millions of persons are constantly on the verge of starvation, he would un derstand instantly the ridiculous ness of the statement. Any reasonable person knows from experience that it is easy to pick flaws in the church, to find unhappiness in some marriages, to discover evils in our system of edu cation. If we concentrate on the evils and ignore the'advantages, we may easily take a gloomy view of life, although we are absolutely mistaken. Prof. Thomas N. Carver of Har vard university has remarked in his recent book on “This Economic World,” that if we always speak of the present social order with a wry face and of some other social order with a beatific expression, we can so impress certain impressionable people as to lead them to form a very good opinion of the other. We can accomplish the same result, he says, by invective on the one hand and panegyric on the other, and by the general substitution of innuen do and metaphor for temperate statements of verifiable facts and logical reasoning from these facts. It is proverbial that if a man Isn’t getting on well himself he is sour on the world. He sees things through blue spectacles. That is the basis for the old answer to the question, “Is life worth living?" “It- depends on the liver.” It is something of a job to reach the ideal of Sophocles, who was de scribed bv Matthew Arnold as see ing life steadily and seeing it whole. We are apt to see it unsteadily, and to see only a fragment of it. - ■ ♦ ♦ May it Never Bj Yours. Citizens’ Safety Committee of Phila delphia. A wave of the hand, a kiss on the breeze, from the sweetest lit tle pal in the world_I stood for some moments watching her, a chubby little figure in blue and white, an extremely important lit tle person on her way to school. And then she turned the corner. It must, have been about 4 o’clock —my mind has been sort of dead ened since—when the boss sent for me. “Bob,” said he, laying his hand on my shoulder, “there's been an accident and you'd better hurry up to the house.” Well, there isn’t much more to tell. That little pal of mine—she —she wasn't at the window watch ing for me as usual. For an in stant. I faltered, it just seemed as though something within me went dead, and I had to fight for breath. In a little time I went to the gate, just as I had that very morn ing. And I looked down the street as best I could. Right over there, a short block away, was where she turned the corner—and passed for ever out of my life. Today, it was mv little girl; to morrow, or next day, it will be some other little pal quite as dear. And so on, and on. until the con science of men shall erv a halt to this passion for fast driving in localities where danger stares driv ers plumb In the eye. —--- , ... Canadian Waterway* Politics. From Christian Science Monitor Canada's hesitancy in going ahead with the St Lawrence waterway is due chiefly to the fact that the pro ject is about the only thin* which can upset the Mackenzie King gov ernment. It so happens that the two elements of the liberal party, What la a IUdlcair From the Pittsburg Press It is bet truing increasingly im portant that the public be givrn an mtelligtnt defimtlon uf the term radical” as ppiied to those who discus* or write about human rela tion*. Emerson said a radical is a oung conservative and a conserva tive it an old radical rhat isn't hard to understand, because aj of us know the different attitulea of vuuth and age toward .ife and it* problems Youth start* in with op ‘innsin and ideals; and *l h some .Hustons of course.

(International Newsreel! the support of which is absolutely essential to W. L. Mackenzie King's working majority, are diametrically opposed to each other on ttie ques tion of the St. Lawrence. The Prov ince of Quebec, which gives Mr. King 61 out of its 65 votes in parli ament, is the stronghold of the prvate power interests and is there- | fore bitterly opposed to the govern ment ownership phase of the pro | posal. Middle-western Canada takes ex actly the opposite view. For it the St. Lawrence means a cheap route to Eurqpe for its gigantic grain crop. The middle west also sends a farm bloc to parliament which gives Mr. King his working majority. This bloc holds the balance of power. Even more eager for the completion of the St. Licence project than the farm bloc Is the Province of Ontario. It happens to be the stronghold of Mr. King's political enemies—the conservative partv. It was a member of this party—L. L. Church of Toronto—who recently Introduced a resolution in parlia ment calling for the immediate con struction of the waterway. The res olution was "talked out," but not I until Mr. King had been forced to J agree to the publication of the dip lomatic correspondence with the United States. With the exception of Ontario 1 and the middle west there is a gen eral apathy throughout Canada re- : garding the St. Lawrence waterway. Illusions as well as its Ideahun an ! I*P But nowadays the term radical is often sued as an epithet. If one 'akis an Interest m the poor, if he tor <n't worship things as they ar< if tie demands better social con ditions as a legitimate part of pr<*t rev* if he wants a mere equitable , distribution of the product of in* ' dll' ry reaiiy. If h* wan*.* any chaise that he may think is for the better tie is at once tagged a " radical " Now end then when somebody in sists that the liberties guaranteed l»y the constitution he actually pro tected for all riturns, there are • who cal) him a "radical." This is coupled with a belief that once it Is built the control may pas> into the hands of the United States The man in the street especially fears that since Canadian industry is not yet ready to use all of the power, it will be exported to the United States. Later, when Canadi an industry needs the power, he fears that the United States will re fuse to relinquish it. In the face of this apathy and this general distrust. Mr. King can not risk any actual initiative to please the Province of Ontario, stronghold of the opposition, or even to please the farm bloc. Therefore he resorts to bargaining, and in his notes to Frank B. Kellogg, United States secretary of state, he makes a pointed hint that if the United States removed its restrictions against Canadian fish and against Canadian agricultural products, the Canadian people would be much more favorably inclined toward the St. Lawrence waterw'ay. Growing Evil of Tips. From the New York World. Great are tips, and the public sometimes tires of the compulsion to give them in generous measure or be content with discourteous service when it pays its money, but just how great has never, perhaps, been quite realized until a court proceeding in New York disclosed that in some fashionable eating places, where prices are not mod est, the waitresses must actually pay the proprietor for being an em ployee. This is on the theory that they will be given tips in such great measure as to make it worth their while to pay for the right to work. If an employer can get help with out paying, and, instead, compel his or her employes to pay for the privilege of working, it is all very good business for the employer. If the employe can get tips in such proportions as to make it worth while actually to pay tiio em ployer for the privilege of work ing. it may not be bad for the em ploye. But what of the public? It must pay for what it buys, and pay well, too. and well enough to entitle it to the most courteous treatment from employes of tho person from whom it buys; and then it must pay for tho service. No tip. no service, no courtesy. And that, it seems, is evidence of business genius somewhere. Hut the effect on the employes is rather de grading. looking at it from one angle. It puts him in the position of the beggar who pays a license for working one side of the street. Perhaps it is not entirely elevating for the employers. And It is a lit tle rough on the public. -♦ ♦ The Argument Persists "It is often that a public official lias newspapers quarreling over who first started to applaud him. The Pierre Capital-Journal and the Sioux City Tribune are in a mild argument as to who first com plained became the democratic platform failed to commend L. N. Crill for his good work as secretary of agriculture. The Huronite has been drawn into the argument, doubtless through the fact that very shortly after the proposal meeting this newspaper expressed its regret that Mr. Crill, D. A Mc Cullough and Don Lewis had not been commended by their party associates. Just whether this com ment preceded or followed that of the Capital-Journal, this newspaper would hestitate to say." From Pierre Capital-Journal. The Capital-Journal was first to comment on the Crill proposition but will concede to the Huronite any references to the rest of the ad ministration family. • ♦ —— - Q Are the clams found in riv ers of Wisconsin good to eat?

Old-Fashioned” Winter Classed as Illusion Records kept by the United States weather bureau Indicate that there has been no appreciable permanent change In the weather of the north ern hemisphere during the last fifty or sixty years. Weather records show that the winters are as cold on the average1 ns they were half a century ago. The “old-fashioned” severe win tm that elderly people are fond of tiling about Is a psychological illu sion. Winters seemed colder to the pioneers because they were not ns well protected ns people are now. The advance of civilization has relieved the Inhabitants of this country from many of the hardships formerly suf fered because of cold weather. Also, the difference between the child and adult mind has undoubtedly contrib uted considerably to the illusion. Things seen through the eyes of child hood are likely to have a distorted ap pearance. It is human nature for peo ple In their reminiscences to exag gerate past events, especially the hard ships of early life. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooc Any Woman Gin look Sly is sli MAE MARTIN ooooooo ooooooo Most stylish looking women you see are simply “good managers.” They don't open their pocket-books wide for every change In fashion.

Voice of the Sluggard The laziest man In Deacon was dis covered early yesterday morning, lie was sound asleep when his wife, awak ened by tire lire siren, nudged him and said: “Wake up, honey. 1 think the whole town Is on lire.

One of the faces is that of the head of the concern, Sir Alfred Mond. All the other carvings are said to he ex cel lent likenesses of many men prom inent in the chemical world. The sculpture around the building also includes figures of peacocks, which are said to be there as a symbol of Incorruptibility, following the ancient tradition that the flesh of the peacock is Incorruptible.
