Every blonde carries ber own head light :o: It is better to crawl out than to be thrown out. -:o:- The primary will soon be as un popular as pronation. And now someone suggests chang ing it to the "Volstead Flaw." :o:- Now there is the undertaker who ran his business into the ground. :o: Two liars are company, three a crowd and four or more a chamber of commerce. There is a man in this town so dumb that he thinks Einstein means a glass of beer. : o : The fellow who shot Jake Lintle is so hard to find our guess is he must have rolled under the bureau. Major parties have not only run out of real issues, but seem slowly converging on questions of the dry. :o:- We can visualize a United States of Europe pretty clearly, but haven't decided yet who would be Simeon D. Fess. -:o:- Congress does not meet until De cember, so it looks as if we'll have to wait till then to find out what Borah's against. :o: It has been discovered that Cal Coolidge was once a correspondent for a country weekly. That explains his literary style. :o: President Hoover urges home own ing. But what does this generation care about a home when they can't go anywhere in it? :o: One reason which may account for Sir Thomas Lipton's losing streak is that he has his mind on his busi ness. You know a trifle tea sick. :o: More statues, declares a writer, should be placed in the middle of ornamental ponds. But very few or namental ponds are really deep enough. :o: "Women's clothes for winter will be elegant and subtle," says a Paris fashion note. And now we will have to wait patiently until winter to find out what "subtle" is. :o: The Iowa man who bequeathed a library with the stipulation that fe males be barred, probably acted on the sumption that every woman knows her books r.nyway :o: Folks in the north who expect to go south during the coming win ter and find Jobs may as well put on their ragged overcoats and stay at home. All soft Jobs are filled. thousand and one different causes. The way to cure a Headache is to find and remove the cause. Suppose it takes days or weeks to find the cause what will you do in the meantime? Continue to suffer? Why should you when you can get DilMhjes Antj-Bmn Pills Tkey relieve quickly.

Passing a law to make others be good; thinking it shouldn't apply to people as nice as we pre. What the heck do countries who have no prohibition laws blame ev erything on, d'ya suppose? :o: "More Women Drinking," says a newspaper headline.

"Never mind, after he is bro'ie he won't have any. -:o: After all, the rich are not alto gether worthless If Harold Vander bilt should lose his fortune he could easily get a Job as master of t. fish ing schooner :o: The postal deficit, predicted to be $85,000,000 for the current fiscal year following a series of other red ink periods, is one of the administra tion's first-rank worries. :o:- If some ordinary editor lik-; this one for instance should grind out the stuff that Cal Coolidge is selling at a dollar per word he could not sell it at a dollar per yard. :o: The trouble with this country as found by George Tedrick of the Alto mont Times is that lots of fellows have the notion, but no motion, while others have the motion, but no no tion. :o: Secretary of Labor James J. Davis said in a political speech the other day, "Men cannot thrive in America without pie." It would have been Just as correct had he said rye in stead of pie. :o: Former Gov. Smith has call time on the persons who, in care-free fashion, sign his name in turgid ex pressions of their own sentiments. He had to, he doubtless saw, though it has not been generally noted, what they were trying to let him in for. Everybody has it once in a while. It may be due to a THE TROUBLESOME DOLE Social tinkerers who are eager to push the Federal Government into widespread charity through doles, un employment insurance and other fairly recent methods of giving away tax money, should cast a cau tious eye on England. Even after considerable experience with the un employment dole, and several trials at revising its provisions usually in the direction of more liberal giving the dole is a constant source of annoyance, unfairness, expense and, some say, a growing army of pro fessional dole collectors who would not recognize a job if it bit them. There are a million more unem ployed in England now, or about twice as many, as when last year the Laborites won their victory on a promise to "do something" about the unemployment situation. Several writers have plainly said that all this increase in England's disastrous unemployment is not due to indus trial depression, but that each year a greater and greater number be come regulars at living off the Gov ernment. They make no show at ob taining positions. It is said of the Labor Government that by liberaliz ing the provisions of the dole it has simply made it easier for additional thousands of the chronically unem ployed to collect the enormous taxes assessed against the gainfully em ployed. That such a thing would happen was inevitable; it should be, never theless, a warning to the United States, and particularly to individual states, against rushing blindfolded into such legislation. The question is seldom allowed a moment's rest in America, and what with demands for pensions, doles, unemployment insur ance and the like all, of course it is obvious that here, as in England, deliberate unemployment would soon become a huge industry in itself. There seems to be naive impression that the public treasury is inexhaus tible. It becomes so through confis catory taxation, and in the end no one can blame a worker who, after years of dividing his income to sup port someone unknown to him, even tually decides to have a whirl at living on the Government. :o: Chairman Fess says prohibition i3 not an Issue. If the reader will re call the incident, there was once a dry Congressman who couldn't be lieve the suitcase would leak. :o: Senator David A. Reed of Penn sylvania complains that "the greatest material need of civilization is a solu tion of the distribution problem;" and it is not hard to see why he should think so. :o:- The dairy industry, a government statistician says, is far greater than steel. So it seems that the only sim ilarity existing now between milk and steel is that both are used for building-up processes. e :o: I have said that the American fu tured depends upon the free minds of first-class men, Dut that the first class man finds it harder and harder to maintain freedom of thought and action against the increasing crowd-ed-mindedness of America. :o: Two American aviators, mixed up in a frustrate revolution in Chile, are under arrest, and no doubt they will soon be yelping for Uncle Sam to get them out of the trouble. Well, Uncle Sam didn't get them into trou ble so there does not appear any log ical reason why they should be given the protection of the American flag. :o: And instead of the present high way so familiar to those who have made the pilgrimage to the home of Washington past railroad yards, factories, billboards and filling sta tions, there will be a parkway to Mount Vernon, close by the river, with a variety of views, easy grades, long curves and pleasing vistas over the broad lake-like scenery of the lower river. :o: There's is no suavity more Ches terfieldian than that which foreign statesmen affect when putting thru a retaliatory tariff against the Unit ed States. Nearly every country pro tested when the Hawley-Smoot bill was being cooked up; but not one has ever admitted that its own high rades and embargoes, adopted about the time the measure passed, were di rected against America. :o: Referring to the storm of protest aroused when Hanford MacNider, our new minister to Canada, wore the uniform of the American army when formally presented to the Governor General, the Hattiesburg American asks: "Why not adopt a typical Am erican costume in which our diplo mats can feel comfortable?" The trouble is we have no typical Amer ican costume. We are the worst dressed and at the same time the best-dressed people in the world. First in the dough. Then in the oven. You can be sure of perfect bakings in using KC BAKING POWDER 25 ounces for 25c AUTUMN RAINS It is both singular and depressing that in all of the years sinc men gained a partial degree of civiliza tion they have never yet found any way of doing anything really effec tive about autumn rains. To practically every other variety of weather there is some sort of an swer. In sweltering Bummer days one can if lucky sit In the shade with a fan and sip a cool drink; or at the very worst one can climb into the bath tub. In winter blizzards it is simple to go down and shake up the furnace. A January thaw can be balked by the simple expedient of stay-indoors, or by donning heavy galoshes when one goes out. A spring or a summer rain is nothing an long as one is not actually out in it with out an umbrella. But an autumn rain is not so easily checkmated. You can stay in side until it blows over; but the me lancholy, down-in-the-dumps feeling that it engenders will pursue you to your lair, no matter how tightly you close your windows. An autumn rain, in fact, is not a meteorological phen omenon at all; it is a state of mind, and there is no escaping it. It is on rainy days in the fall that suburban housewives begin to feel that staying at home every day is a sorry lot. It is on such days that people in city office buildings rebel against the fate that chains them to their places. It is on such days that school children are moved to heretical thoughts, and fa.rmers dream of escaping from their damp acres, and policemen wish that they had become radio announcers or something. But there is nothing that can be done about it. One can only hope that the rain does not give one a cold, and make the best of it. But the best is a very miserable best. For the rain of autumn is a nega tion of all of the things by which we live; a disquieting reminder that the world is excessively imperfect, a hint that those bright promises of last June may have been base deceptions. It displays nature in a mood that is devoid of either hope or energy. It is raining, one feels, because thera isn't much sense the universe being what it is in doing anything else. That, in fact, is the discouraging thing about it all. The autumn rain is so spiritless. A January blizzard is not so bad; for it at least has a vindicative, spiteful fury, and one can sustain one's manhood by resolving to buck it. A sweltering August day, at the very worst, bespeaks the eternal fecundity of the teeming earth. But a rainy autumn day is simply the fag end of everything; a gloomy reminder of the mortality of all created things. However, we shall doubtless live through it. Very likely a moist fall is essential to winter wheat, or some thing. :o: DJXEMA OF TAXPAYERS A subscriber ventures this opin ion concerning the taxpaying proh lem: "I notice some articles in your paper concerning taxes, but what we need most Just now is repeal of the relative to delinquent taxes, or a modification thereof. It costs the de linquent about fifty per cent when be attempts to redeem, and there will be thousands during the coming year who will be unable to pay. The only person who gets any protection is the Sylock who bids in the property on which taxes are delinquent." There's food for thought in the above paragraph, especially th;it last sentence. Scores of persons have grown wealthy buying In property at de linquent tax sales taking advantage of the other fellow's misfortune. Legitimate, of course, but not ex actly a nice way of making money. A BRITISH FAMILY REUNION From Australia and Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, Ireland and Newfoundland, the cabinets o British self-governing dominions are now on their way to London to meet with the British cabinet for the Im perial Conference in four years. The Imperial Conference is in many re spects a family gathering. It has no written constitution, no rules of procedure, in fact no formal legal status whatver. But it is none the less one of the most potent political bodies in the world. Purely political questions will be subordinated this year, the previous conference having set forth once and for all the complete autonomy of the dominions as sister commonwealths on a plane of equality with the moth er country. Some attention is to be given to foreign policy and defense as well as to a projected tribunal to settle controversies between the do minions. But for the most part the agenda of the coming meetings deals with economic questions. There are so many cross-currents in the angled economic interests of the Empire that none can say what definite measures may find approval Britain, urged by the Rothermere press, will stress the possibilities of higher tariffs all around, with a gen erous preferential rate to members of the British Commonwealth. This would mean a tariff wall around the entire Empire, and would be aimed especially at the United States. Many difficulties stand in the way of its at tainment, however. Oversea settlement is another chal lenging problem. Would tbe more sparsely settled dominions welcome larger numbers of immigrants from the United Kingdom? If so, what opportunities will they establish for them to make a living? These and related questions are to be mulled over by the Premiers of the domin ions and their aids. The temper of the delegates to the London meeting, especially those from Australia, is likely to be none too enthusiastic. Depressed business has hit Australia perhaps harder than any other Important country of the world, and Bhe is in no mood to make additional sacrifices of her own interests for the good of the Empire. South Africa also is rebellious, al though primarily in a political way. It will be interesting to see what the tact of the MacDonald Government an do in smoothing the way to agree ment on these highly intricate ques tions of an Epire Independent po lltically, but Interdependent for de fense and for its economic welfare. :o: The story of the authorship of "Abide With Me" is even more path etic. It was written by Henry Fran cis Lytle, a missionary clergyman of the Church of England, who conse crated the best years of his life to work in the vast slums of London. :o: A Louisiana bank was robbed of $20,000 and about the same hour a wealthy Arkansas planter was kid naped and is being held for $25,000 ransom. There are still ways or maa ing money without working for it, but all are hazardous. gANISHED by happy, snappy color for floors, furniture, woodwork motor cars anything wmmnsm i i wiminuj Fast-drying, flawless enamel.
