You'd think that wolf at the door would become discouraged and try fimewlitr1 else after a year or two. -:o:- We lati't subscribe to the belief that tverybody is crazy, notwith standing the opportunities for get ting that way. :o: You so;-, by working madly and i-acrific iiiK all else, you can gain money enough to be as carefree as those who have no money. :o:- A statue of Cupid, dug up in Italy, i minus a hand, both iegs. a nose and an ear.

Then there is the type of proud father who wants to stop his .home town paper because the sports editor ot that sheet didn't put his boy on the all-state high school team. -:o:- The piir.cipal reason we don't care to follow the professor who defines persons who whistle as morons is that he doesn't show any sense of proportion. He doesn't leave any adequate term to apply to the sap who honks his horn in a traffic jam. -:o:- Uy the time Mayor Jimmy Walker gets on his way back home he will have been adopted into some Indian tribes under the name of "Chief Big Heart," and we suspect it w ill be nec essary to explain this several times to keep some folks from getting him confuted with Santa ClUi. "Secretary Mellon veTy" "generously offers corporations the same privil eges cf exemption from income tax for gifts to charity next year as those now enjoyed by individuals. "And now," says a Democratic brother, 'all the corporations have to do to avail themselves of this privilege is to show some income." : :o: Mrs. Ciilbcrtscn says the card.? that i11 to her and her partner the first night of the bij match were very poor, but her luck was very good.

Which is pre cisely the sort of reasoning poker players try to use when explaining to sleepy spouses why they didn't win. but somehow it never gets over. :o: Quite a number of the unemployed of evening. are whiling away tedious hours by playing egg-football this winter, r-o we are told. It appears that you take an egg, remove the contents through pin-holes in the tads, leaving the shell as nearly in tact as possible. Then erect goal posts of paper or cardboard at either end cf a long table and choose up sides. Each side tries to "Slow the "ball" over the other side's goal line.

It would be fine if this meant a mild winter, but the truth is. a raccoon skin that has been made into a coat knows a lot less about the weather than it did in its natural state. :o:- Dr. Logan Clendening. in an ar ticle discussing winter underwear for the baby, prefers the kind that may be tied instead cf buttonsd. owing to the danger cf the baby's pulling ttiie buttons off and putting them into ! his mouth.

Dr. Clendenir.g is a good old-fashion-'ed family doctor, who believes that J the baby should be dressed warmly i and comfortably in the winter months. SALES TAX WOULD SHIFT THE BURDEN A small industrial group headed by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. Sen ator Smooi of Utah, and others less prominent in the administration have brcught forward a proposal for a salts tax, to iefill the coffers of a depleted national treasury. They clothe it v. ith the innocent garb of a tax on luxuries. They deny that they have any intention of applying it to necessities of life. If that is the case, then, their program does net offer a remedy be cause it will not even begin to meet the grave emergency which confronts the federal exchequer. With a deficit cf two billions cf dollars to be pro vided for, no sugar coated measures are adequate. It's a major operation which confronts congress. But the sales tax has its funds primarily be cause it will shift the great burden of taxation from the shoulders of thos? possessing great wealth to the millions in meager or modest circum stances. They are the real consumers in. America. They will pay the check if the small industrial group which l.ai brought forward the sales tax succeeds in convincing 'ongress it is the tax reform which sliou' I be adopted. In forceful and vigorous lan srua?e. Governor Pinchct sums u; the situation in this fashion: "Does a sales tax reach the hoard ed millions cf the over-rich? D;es it t.l:r mony from the coffers cf the large manufacturing corpc ral'ons? It dots not. The latter have oi.-y to raue the prices of the articles they cell r-v jut the amount of the tax, and the man who buys has to pry. "The sales tax. like the treasury plan to include smaller incomes un der the income tax. is merely anoth er device to shield the rich. It is an other way cf seeing to it that con--entrated wealth shall remain con centrated at any cost. "There is only one conclusion to be drawn from all this. It is that every recent economic move has been dircete:! toward one end alone. That nd la the safeguarding of money in the hands of an incredibly small nurnlr cf incredibly rich men." But the governor does not need to he disturbed. Congress has heard from the home folks and no matter how arrogant or confident the spirit back of this campaign for a sales tax and a shifting cf the burden, it will not teceive ccngressioiial approval.

A FRIENDSHIP TO KEEP IN REPAIR A gcod illustration of the way in which international friendship may be taken for granted may be seen in the relations between the United States and Canada. A common tongue the same heritage, a likemindedness these and many other ties draw the two peoples unusually close. Few countries bear such a relation toward each other. This was attested in 1911. At the instance of those two great statesmen, Elihu Root and James Bryce, the United States and Canada set up a permanent joint commission to settle boundary ques tions. Never had such a forward locking step been taken in interna tional intercourse. There is pleasure in taking such friendship for granted. But there is danger, too. The danger lies in the neglect properly to cultivate the casually accepted bond. Too many Americans, even among those fairly well versed in foreign relations, have a skimpy knowledge of Canadian af fairs. This may be due to the fact that Canada is too near to be looked upon as a foreign relation. Never theless, Americans cannot afford to let Canada drop below the horizon of their interests. Nor can they allow the idea to spread that American Canadian friendship is of minor of ficial importance in the United States. Perhaps implications of Canadian publicists that American-Canadian friendship has been pigeonholed at Washington are not altogether justi fied. It may be true that the differ ence in the status of the two coun tries invites neglect on the American side. Canada is feeling its way in the world. The United States is a world power. Events of great moment to the world at large are constantly milling around the United States. American statesmen and American citizens, therefore must make spec ial effort to avoid neglecting an im portant tie. Of first importance in remedying even an appearance of neglect is that the United States should realize the international advancement of Can ada. The Dominion is a sovereign, self-governing nation, and at the same time a unit in the British Com monwealth of Nations. The fact must be reiterated until it enters into the American consciousness, because it has ititfeerte- lacked - advertisement. The Canadians have done their best to impress their new status upon the United States. They spent millions of dollars in building an impressive legation at Washington. They sent as their first minister one of their most distinguished sons. They cele brated the event by dispatching a de tachment of Canadian troops to Washington and a state mission head ed by the Governor-General himself. Sometimes the Canadians ask if a sufficient return has been made for these elaborate courtesies. Friendships must be kept in con stant repair. Elihu Root and James Lryce adhered to this rule. They built in the Joint Commission a monument to American-Canadian friendship and to their own states manship. But Americans have not feP. the same pride in this achieve ment that Canadians do. It is time the commission was revivified to the extent of lending it more prestige on the American side, and of attach ing a judicial branch to it. This, and the speedy establishment of a lega tion at Ottawa, would put American Canadian friendship on a new foot ing more in harmony with the facts and portents of Canadian nationality. :o: SONS OF WILD JACKASS REBEL A man's smartness sometimes gets in his way, especially in politics. "Czar" Reed used to lament in the old days that his fatal facility in re partee had barred him from any chance at the presidential nomin ation. Roosevelt used sarcasm pri vately but he was careful to keep it out of his public addresses. Senator Moses is immensely clever. He is the author of numberous mur derous quips In addition to his "sons cf the wild jackass." Perhaps the most famous was in connection with his questioning of the condition of President Wilson after the Presi dent's second paralytic stroke. Ad miral Carl Grayson, the President's personal physician, commented sar castically on the medical knowledge of "Dr." Moses. The Associated Press shewed the senator Dr. Grayson's re mark. His retort that he was will ing to put his qualifications as a doctor beside those of Grayson as an admiral was a classic in repartee. But for a man in public life, witty sallies that leave a wound contribute to the gayety of nations, but nbt to, the gathering of votes as the ex perience of Senator Moses's candi dacy for re-election as president pro tempore of the senate is demonstrat ing. :o: Journal Want Ada bring remit, BACK TO COMMON SENSE It has taken thirteen years for the world to get back to a common sense view of the results of the great war. When that orgy of destructiveness had ended in Europe, it should have been obvicus that the most serious ef forts were needed to effect a return to normalcy. Economy, hard work, caution, a steady rebuilding of shat tered prosperity, and thje resolute erection of peace machinery unques tionably were called for. But so great was the relief that many coun tries which most felt the disaster of the war years embarked on a light hearted course of extravagance. Throughout Europe to say noth ing cf America national budgets which had been bloated by the war were kept on an impossible scale. They hau doubled, trebled, or quad ruped in a few years. There were immense national and international debts which, at the best, it would be difficult to pay, if they could be paid at all. There were indeed defaults, partial and complete bankruptcy, the devaluing of currencies, but immed iately budgets were re-established in their most onerous form. There was inflation, an abuse of the credit sys tem, a fictitious prosperity in coun tries which were faced by ruin. There was growing unemployment and dis equilibruim; but retrenchment and reform were not applied. Undoubtedly there were serious ef forts to prevent a recurrence of cat astrophe by the erection of peace ma chinery and a growing consciousness of the need for co-operation. Yet, side by side with the development of these international bodies, antagon istic policies were pursued, alliances were made, tariffs were augmented, military expenditure tended to rise, and generally there was a struggle between the international and the national conceptions of world organ ization. Now the world has reached the point where it must get back to sta bility. In country after country, this necessity is being recognized. Great Britain is making a highly commend able effort; France and Italy realize that many things must be done; Ger many, it is hoped, will at last find the balance between its means and its achievements. Yet it is to be objected that some of these efforts of the nations are too narrowly nationalistic in char acter and do not-pay sufficient heed to the problems of their neighbors. An opportunity is presenting itself to tackle in an international way two of the chief questions the eco nomic question and the question of armaments and it is to be trusted that the opportunity will be seized. On right solutions lit the near futcre much will depend. The vast problem of international indebtedness, with which tariffs are closely related, and the vital problem of wasteful and de structive armaments must be consid ered far more earnestly than they have ever been considered before, and no selfish concept of national interests, or supposed interests, should be allowed to stand in the way of a solution. It has taken thirteen years to ar rive at this stage. The world cannot afford to wait another thirteen years to arrive at the next stage. It should not have to wait two years. Nor one. The problems are urgent and imper ative. :o: ALMOST INEXPLICABLE The disposition of the American electorate, in sporadic instances, is peculiar. One can never Be sure when it is going to turn toward, or against, a Heflin, a Blease or a Bilbo. Even in smaller areas there is occasional resort to such worthies for respon sible public office. Here is Mayor An drew J. (Bossy) Gillis of Newbury port, Mass.. who is once more in the news. In the largest vote cast In the history of that city, it is said, the mayor has been defeated for re election after serving two "turbu lent" erms. It was indicated before the mayor was elected for the first term that turbulence could be expect ed. Maybe that was what the major ity wanted. There must be diversion, variety, relief from the humdrum routine of daily life. Mr. Gillis went into office on the momentous issue of his defiance of law in operating a filling station. He wanted to show the law and the courts how things could be done. The result was that the law and tbe courts how things could be done. The result was that the law and the courts showed the mayor the Jail door, along with a substantial fine. Eut the whole incident only showed, as some of the electorate put it, that the mayor was "a real man." There were other developments that show ed the same thing. Now a majority of the voters, evidently including a part of the original majority, seem to think there has been showing enough. Perhaps so. There usually is in such cases. For Troubles - doe to Acid Vli fl ACID STOMACH V C HCABTBUBN Eain c omes WHAT many people call indiges tion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes the acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water neutralizes instantly many times that much acid, and tbe symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go, get a small bottle to try. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years in correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle any drugstore,. s I The Aweont Camp Fire met at the public library on Wednesday, December 9th, 1931.
