The light goes around instead of through this model of lens. :o: It's just as well that pugilistic champions refuse to fight often than once a year. This country has to pay some attention to its regular business. :o: Four convicts broke out of a Michi gan jail with can openers. This is a novelty, though there have been many who engineered their escape by means of corkscrews. :o: The mayor of Atlantic City says there won't be any beauty pageants after this year. That is. no official ones. The public will continue to get its usual eyeful. :o: If everyone that i3 talking of go ing to the American Legion next week goes, who will stay at home to take care of the business, or will there be any business? . :o: Friday afternoon is the only time when a Moroccan wife is permitted to leave her home unattended.

We have been sneering at wom en and pitying them on account of their lack of pockets and their conse quent annoying need to carry hand- bags and now we are about to give0f small nations and the beauty of up our freedom and encumber our-the cause of self determination, hands! :o: :o:- Hardly a day passes that someone in an automobile is not killed at a railroad crossing. The number of automobiles in this country has be-' come so great that it is tow the duty of governments state, county and city to see to it that all railroad crossings on main highways are pro vided with a viaduct or a subway. Traffic stopped fordine streams in thp country years ago. Every stream on a main highway has a bridge. The ame protection must be affordedal railroad crossings. FES TEAS IS ADVANCE Did Clifford B.

Let this be a lesson of some kind. :o:- A woman suing for divorce claims her husband makes from $18,000 to $26,000 a week bootlegging liquor from Canada. Can the courts recog nize that source of income in fixing alimony? :o: Silk stockings so fine that a pair will pass through a wedding ring are worn by wealthy women in Paris. Made with rose point lace insertions, the stockings cost fifteen hundred francs a pair. :o: As we understand the French and American commissions feel they have reached an agreement in principle on the debt payment. Now it only re mains for them to reach an agree ment in interest. :o: Henry Ford's declaration that the country will be prosperous for the next one hundred years will discour age, we hope, a number of ambitious gents who seem determined to get it all in the next twenty-five. :o: Election officials in a Pennsylvania town found 105 voters registered from one three-story frame house. It is to be hoped that philanthropists will do something to remedy such terrible housing conditions. :o: Some of our far-sighted good peo ple are already packing away their outgrown tuxedoes and evening gowns to send along in February to the hardy adventurers who went out to reclaim Florida this fall. :o: A Chicago airplane company an nounces its ships will transport pa - sengers at so mucn per pouna ar-.i for once in history the big boys wi.l be forced to pay for taking up all f the seat space in the smoker. :o: It's difficult to account for the con fidence of the Riffians unless thry really were deceived by all that was said a few years ago about the rights Just about this time of the year we are always regaled with the story of a cotton picking machine that will !reallv work. But. somehow or other. we never see any of these machines in the year. fields during the following -:o:- "Organization," says some wise fel low, "is the art of getting men to re spond like thoroughbreds. When you cluck to a thoroughbred, he gives you 'all the speed, strength of heart and sinew In him. When you cluck to a 'jackass, he kicks." CONGRESS TOO BIG Programmers of next year's con gressional doings are reported as planning a reappointment bill in creasing the size of the house of rep resentatives irom 4Jd to 4bo mem bers, so as to "take care" of all pres ent congressmen, but with the un derstanding that this increase shall be the last. If a limit is to be set, why not set it now? The constitution provides that there shall be a reappointment pro vides that there shall be a reappoint ment every ten years, but now we are half way through one reappoint ment period and nothing has been done, because the representation of any state, and the only other way is to increase the whole number of con gressmen, to give additional represen tation to the states which have in creased in population, without reduc ing any others. It has always been done this way before, and the hesitation now is dut to a realization that the time has come to call a halt. The new scheme would "pass the buck" to the congress of 1932, whose members are no more likely to be self-dening patriots than the pres ent membership. The proper thing is to keep the membership no larger than it now is, and redistribute that. Congress is already too large. The British parliament, to be sure. Is much larger, as are most of the leg islative bodies of Europe. And they are not too large. But they are differently organized. They have a small central leadership the "government," which takes all the initiative and does or directs most of the work. They have not a hundredth as manv bills, or a thousandth as many local matters to attend to. The only function of the ordinary member is to vote his party program. Seven hundred members can do that as well as four hundred, espe cially as forty of them constitute a quorum, and ordinarily it makes no difference whether the others attend at all or not. Our system reverses all this. Un der it, three hundred members could do all the work much better than six hundred, besides restoring the house to some of its former sigmhcance in the legislative scheme. Congress is more important than congressmen, li congress win con sider the welfare of congress, it will not increase its present numbers. :o: THE HUMAN PILLARS Excavators at the gate of the Im perial palace in Tokio find skeletons buried twelve feet below the bed of the stream which surrounds the pal ace. They are skeletons of men buried in an upright position. Japanese scientists say the skele tons are the remains of men who, centuries ago, offered themselves in martyrdom as human pillars for the immortalization of the cornerstones used in a great castle. The tradition of "human pillars' is old in Japan. It was believed that if men were buried alive beneath the cornerstone of a great structure the gods would forever make the struc ture strong. Human pillars were honored. They were buried in a standing position. We no longer bury men alive to immortalize great institutions. But men and women bury themselves alive in sacrificial effort. John Mc eigh left the lonely is land of Molokai in the Pacific a few weeks ago after a quarter of a cen tury of service. He was superin tendent of the leper colony the sad dest spot on earth. There are others engaged in the same work on that lonely island in a far ocean. There is someone to take the place of John McVeigh. The great enterprises of the world have gone forward on the carts that carried martyrs to their graves. .The rank and file cursed Copernic us and Gallileo. And the rank and file were rewarded by being given a new world. The rank and file put Columbus in chains. All these were human pillars bur ied alive at the base of a great achievement. They have immortalized the cor nerstone of enduring architecture. A writer, after noting that Alex ander, Napoleon, Hanibal and Caesar were bowlegged, concludes that bow leggedness is a mark of bravery. If that is true, what a Red Battalion of Death could be recruited along Petticoat Lane most any sunny after noon these days! :o: It would appear upon the face of the reports that there are some very easy marks in Omaha when a solitary bandit walked Into a jewelry store and made away with $10,000 worth of watches and diamond rings, which was done about 8:30 Tuesday morning. j Same I forover 3 Yc ears warprkes a A newspaper investigator experi ments with inhabitants of Chicago and reports that the women of that city are less friendly than the men The women of any city are more sus picious of strangers than the men are. mat s why commence men usu allv work on the male population. :o: "Evolution For John Doe," is the title of a best selling book. It is al ways an interesting experiment. Ef forts have been made for two hun dred vears, both in the law and out. to civilize John Doe, but he simply won t evoiute. :o: The new pant styles for cake eat ers show legs about the size and gen eral contour of grain sacks. These promise to be a great Doon to those spindle shanks who have been openly accused of having no visible means of support. :o: Current discussion of the preva lence of crime suggests that, as in the case of the weather, everybody talks about it, but nobody does any thing. :o: The difference between law and custom is that it takes a lot of nerve to violate a custom.
