Intelligence should sit in the jury-box. It is politics that is putting the "onus" in bonus. The arms conference did handsomely. Will the senate do as well? Too many persons make honesty the tributary, not the main stream, in life. There is too much of a vacuum where there should be high-grade statesmanship, in Washington. Wonder if the time ever will come when the Nineteenth Amendment will conceal its age? Here is the ideal situation for any family. Own a home in California; and have a title clear to a mansion in the skies. Some members of congress are acquiring Ben Turpin eyes from trying to keep one optic on the bonus and the other on their political fences at home. There is no denying the fact that legal machinery in this country is failing to cope successfully with crime. The law, as it is administered, is not deterring the criminally inclined from committing crimes. There should be no pop-gun policy In regard to maintenance of the United States army and navy. They should be adequate to the Nation's need of reasonable defense. The mountain fastnesses and the forest reserves of California are being made more accessible to pleasure-towns. RAILROADS LIVENING UP THIS YEAR That times are becoming better is very strongly indicated by reports from authentic sources that the railroads of the United States have more construction work under way or projected for 1922 than for several years. The Railway Age, quoting very encouraging statistics along this line, attributes the constructive activity to the shortage of railway facilities and the improvement in railway net earnings within recent months. Announced intention of construction amounts to more than 500 miles. Besides, a great deal of improvement work is to be done. Much of this will be done in the West and by transcontinental railroads entering the West. Railroads are recognized as being accurate barometers of business and industrial conditions. Let there be general economic depression, and the railroads feel it more quickly and more acutely than other interests, with the possible exception of the iron and steel industries. Therefore, it is with gratification that the country learns that the railroads are pushing extensions and betterments, which indicates a rising barometer of prosperity. MID-WEST INDUSTRY AND TRADE BETTER Banks and financial institutions of Chicago reflect quite faithfully and impressively general economic conditions throughout the Middle-West. It is significantly good news, therefore, which comes from the lake metropolis to the effect that business and industry in that region are improving, that merchants and farmers are preparing for their seasonal activities, that money and credit are circulating more freely and that, as an accomplishment of all this upgrade economic movement, thrift is being practiced.

They should be adequate to the Nation's need of reasonable defense. The mountain fastnesses and the forest reserves of California are being made more accessible to pleasure-seekers. More nearly does this state approximate the ideal, as the playground of the world. Owning your own home gives a feeling of settledness and independence that nothing else gives quite so well. Owning a home in California is one of the truly good things of life. The city commission of Mobile, Ala., changed the name of Adam-st in that city to Eve-st. If there are any bachelors on that commission, they deserve the handsomest girls in town. Will H. Hays believes in a slow but sure process of reform in pictures, not a cyclonic effort that probably would be followed soon by a relapse into the same defects and evils that cause complaint at this time. Films should be reformed thoroughly and to stay reformed. Banks and financial institutions of Chicago reflect quite faithfully and impressively general economic conditions throughout the Middle-West. It is significantly good news, therefore, which comes from the lake metropolis to the effect that business and industry in that region are improving, that merchants and farmers are preparing for their seasonal activities, that money and credit are circulating more freely and that, as an accomplishment of all this upgrade economic movement, thrift is being practiced. Bank reports show these things. This is but one of several reliable indications that the long-coveted general improvement in the economic situation is at hand. Evidences multiply that trade is moving toward normality; and that industry gradually is livening, thus reducing unemployment and adding to the general thriving by unloosing payrolls into circulation. When Charles E. Hughes says definitively and categorically that he wrote the four-power Pacific treaty, the people believe him. Mr. Hughes never qualified for the Ananias class. Five were killed in one day in traffic accidents, in and about Los Angeles. It's the human equation that does it. The mechanism of autos is all right; likewise of street cars. It is the human being who is faulty and who invites disaster by his recklessness.

THE NICE PART My garden is a tyrant grim That works me like the dickens, But never flies across the fence And eats my neighbors' chickens. —Tennyson J. Daft. Dear Town in Review: The following from my home town paper, seems to explain itself: "Kent Deaklyne went back home after his heavy overcoat last night, having heard that his wife had an infection in her trigger finger."

Baby and Gift Shop, 223½ So, 6th st.—Adv. in Illinois State Register. This is from the Bill Board: Why is a woman like an umbrella? Because she is made of ribs and attached to a stick. No. Have another guess. Because nobody ever gets the right one. Wrong. Swing at it again. Because she fades with age. Almost. Pull another. Because she is a good thing to have around the house. If that wasn't wrong it would be right. Here it is. A woman is like an umbrella because she is accustomed to reign. (Lookit, officer, he's all bleedin'). A man who would make so vile a pun would not scruple to pick a pocket. —John Dennis. HERE'S A BOOSTER WORTH HAVING For Sale—12 Rhode Island red hens and rooster. All laying.—Ad in Riverside paper. To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying BANK NAMES OF THE PAST—New York Evening Post. Pleasing is the fidelity with which New York banks cling to names no longer exactly expressive of their social position. Such devotion to a modest past is like the magnate's who keeps his early overalls tacked up under glass on the wall of the There is a gentle and pleasing Old World conservatism in this, too. And yet it would be partly disconcerting, though certainly picturesque, to find some of the prosperous metropolitan banks living back to their names. Fancy, for example, the arrival of a delegation of genuine dirt farmers at the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. At this time of year they would make the trip to town in pung sleighs, if we were to go back to the days when the trust company was christened. They would wear coonskin caps, buffalo robes and soapstones would heat their conveyance—and cider—the better than the electric coil the limousine. They would tie their horses conversationally to the hitching post. And then they would hurry. Stamping the snow from their boots, they would saunter towards the bank full leisurely, for don't you use the whole day to fetch the chicken and butter money into the bank? Nothing, certainly not a delegation of bandits, could cause more surprise in such surroundings today than a group of men taking their time at the teller's window. And there is the National Butchers' and Drovers' Bank. There may still be drovers in New York, but they are no longer of the banking set. We don't see strings of half-wild horses and cattle coming up from the river warf, ready to be sold along the road. Once upon a time, however, the accounts of drover were to be sought indeed. As for drovers, there is no reason to suppose that the most august bank would abash them in the least, but at present they are not bringing in a little group of ten-dollar bills, the fruit of the autumn pig-stickin'. No. They are not now distinguishable from the other urbane depositors whose shaves and mani- The Seamen's Bank for Savings, where once gay models of clippers gave the walls a jolly, roving air, and where the wooden counter bore the traditional dent of sailor's gold, has frozen, too, into aristocracy. How many accounts in the Chemical National represent profits from sulphuric acid? It is bewildering. In this city the Bank of Coney Island is not so far from the Bank of Europe, and both flouish. You can't tell banks by their names. THE THINGS OF EVERYDAY There is nothing quite so joyful On this little, mundane sphere, Where light and love are mingled With darkness and with fear—As the fun that comes from doing Our daily faith renewing Each humble task pursuing The things of every day! There is nothing quite so woeful When the skies are painted gray, That makes us feel more dismal, On the brink of life abysmal—Than distracting duties to be done—That start with the daylight and end with the sun. The things of every day! So when we feel so doleful Let's run away and play—Beside a foaming, splashing brook, Or in some cosy ingle nook, With a well loved, treasured book Drive the blues away; For it's good to get away From the things of every day! —Mary Wilson Hopkins. Luther Burbank, at 73, is actively at work on experiments in plant life, constantly striving to evolve something of use to his fellow-men. His patience, too, is monumental. His experiments with a single plant may extend over years before he makes a wonderful discovery or discards the plant as impossible of the better development at which the plant wizard alms.

She: "I'd be nearly crazy." He: "Would you marry again?" She: "No, I wouldn't be that crazy." "Don't worry; leave something to God." That's right. Flossie, an engagement ring is a mighty good thing to have on hand. Today's last line is a combined toast to the navy and the women folks, written years ago by Algernon S.

New York Letter by Larry Deanne Price "Atmosphere" produced by scenery and lights is as essential and as valid for a concert recital as for the opera, according to John Wenger, whose scenic ideas had their first concert trial at Carnegie Hall the other evening, at the song recital of Marguerite White. Mr. Wenger believes that a cold, empty stage is just as forbidding as a background for a singer as it would be for an actor, and he seemed to be successful in persuading the audience that he is right. A semi-transparent drapery, painted impressionistically, and flanked on either side by a tall decorative candle, concealed the familiar stage of Carnegie Hall and concealed it to considerable effect, I should say. Waiters at large banquets held here this season have developed a new duty for themselves. They place two napkins at each place instead of one. The second one is to serve as a shawl! Yes, actually. You see it is not at all the modish thing for a woman to bring her wrap or even a fur scarf into the banquet room with her. And the evening frocks this year have been fairly well, adapted to giving errant breezes free reign to accomplish all the chills they could. The room has to be ventilated during the evening and those women who are sitting close to the ventilators begin to shiver and look uncomfortable. One night, a particularly brave one folded her napkin carefully about her neck. Others followed suit. It made such an impression upon the waiters that they spread the word to provide extra ones, and now when they see a guest looking cold and helpless they suggest it to her.

"BAD SLANG AND GOOD SLANG" "Slang, in the true sense, is not a section of our vocabulary; it is a way of using language," says Professor John Erskine of Columbia University, in an article on "Bad Slang and Good Slang," in the New York Sun. "The ideal of good usage is the precise and vivid word for each side and experience, but slang, by contrast, is the reckless and habitual use of one term to cover accurately many ideas or experiences. This lack of precision is the essence of slang. "Slang begins in oral, not in written speech, in the living language which, like other kinds of music, has its popular tunes and catchy music. The real trouble with colloquial speech is that it takes a true artist to use it, as a Shakespeare or a Burns, a Lowell or a Mark Twain, to name some stars of different magnitudes. The average man drifts lazily into slang or amuses himself with cant terms; the true artist certainly would avoid slang, since he would be trying to cultivate a precise and vital use of words, but he would share the human fondness for riddles, and he would dig in colloquial speech as though he had found a gold mine.
