With West Virginia on our hands, it probably will be wise not to be too finicky about one or two little insurrections. :o: . The women of America have de manded representation at the disarm ament conference, and now comes the ex-service men with a srimiliar request. It makes little difference whether either request Is granted. The conference won't amount to much, anyway. : It se?m3 that John Worthington, Chicago's J. RuTus Wallingford, was known as "Honest John," and, the Topeka Journal says it's too had has victims didn't know it In time. There is a suspicion, however, that a good many of these "Honest Johns" are so named by the report ers after the fact instead of before. o.Jo An assistant treasurer of the American Red Crows has been ar rested on the charge of stealing $14,000 of Red Cross funds. The po lice say he has confessed that he lost the money betting on horse races. What kind of a brain and heart must a man have who will steal charity money for such a pur pose? Apropo3 of that observance of the LaFayette anniversary was the on ly Frenchman who ever won in a fight In this country. :o: Don't look down In the mouth.

If styles are as they are over here, what practice the wily Japs are get ting in short-weighing. :o: There are approximately 4 la mil lion breadwinners out of employ ment, according to calculations made today from the latest government re ports on unemployment. :o: A man can be as patient as Job and still got pretty mad when break fast is delayed while the cook stops to look up what her last night's dream means in the dream book. t 0:0 We have always had serious doubts about the wisdom of foreign mission work, and at last our judg ment has been verified. The South Sea Islanders have taken up golf. :o: And now the Illnois coal miners have doclaied war, and engaged in a pitched battle with guards. If things keep up we may have to again put the selective draft into opera tion, :o: A few years ago, a lot of people blamed their poverty onto the war, and they are still poor; and a lot of girls blamed their loneliness on to the war too; and they are still single. :o: A New York girl f,wam from Al bany to the Battery in sixty-three hoars, out even that probably -won't indnce the railroads to lower their rates' enough to make such swims unnecessary. :o: Lar?e floating dice are being us ed at seashore resorts to gamble while bathing.

He has brought his cars down to a price where they may profitably be used a4 decoys. :o: THOROUGHLY AMERICAN The boast of the effusive Ameri can, that his country offers better opportunities to the young man than any other country on the globe, is not all buncom. ltf)may not be tact ful to"make such""reniarks, but they are true. Moreover, the young American, because perhaps of his envirement and traditions which he imbibed early in life, is willing to take the chance and do the hard work to ex ploit his opportunity. He tackles fortune with an assured air, and en Joys success when..he wins it to the limit v' ": Kipling; much in America in his early years, caught and recorded the spirit of the American who "shakes dice with destiny for the beers," and "who treats alike the twin impos- ters, triumph and dance." Here in the last day or two a book reviewer, writing of one of the late war books, describes two Amer icans in France sitting in the costly and luxurious palace of Marshal Lanes, built and unfinished by one of Napoleon's lieutenants. The Amer icans were engaging because John J Pershing, one of them, was heading an American army larger than even Napoleon ever commanded at one time. With the commander-in-chief of the American forces was Charles G. Dawes, a business man who had been drafted by General Pershing to be his personal representative in handling the grave problems of mo dern supply and transportation for a great army. They had been young fellows together in a Nebraska town, each eating fifteen cent lunches on .high stools and planning and working together for a start up ward. There, in one of the most beauti ful and luxurious palaces of the old world, in the midst of sumptions surroundings, Charles Dawes, late of Nebraska, and Pershing, late of the r.anic general vicinity, recalled the lean days and the fifteen-cent lunch es the two had had together, and he said slowly, "John, when I contrast these barren surroundings with the luxurlousness of our early surround ings in Lincoln it does seem that a good man has no real chance in the world." To which Pershing replied media- tively. "Don't it beat hell." The tory Is bound to be true. General Dawes tells it himself in his recent book, "A Journal of the Great War." ; 0 ; OPERATED ON AT OMAHA You'll enjoy the sport of rolling 'em with P. A.!
