Then when nobody answers you can leave your card. The word "obey" is being taken out of marriage rites. Why not take "alimony" out of divorce rights? Lady Astor's husband is along with her, says a news item. That's why husbands usually visit. It begins to look as if the vets who kept their insurance will collect it before their bonus. The Kentucky gentleman has to be a scholar to be a good judge of liquor these days. In Paris, an actress is wearing a couple of snakes for garters. Garter snakes? An ideal stenographer is one who not only looks good but who makes good. Perhaps Russia wants to buy those trains to haul her money around. Clothes may not make the man; but lack of them makes the man look. It is easy to hold down a job; the thing to do is to make it grow. Planks in a politician's platform are often made out of his head. These are trying days, but some people don't try hard enough. Looks as if Germany has turned her swords into Russian plowshares. About all some of our citizens join in at church is the singing. Will they deport alien bootleggers GOOD ROADS PROJECTS GIVEN IMPETUS Enhancement of the cause of good roads throughout the Nation should be given by the action of the United States Good Roads Association at its stirring meetings in Phoenix, Arizona. The association adopted resolutions to memorialize Congress to lay out, construct and maintain a national system of modern highway, with full connection with each of the capital cities of the forty-eight states on direct routes. The association also urges that the federal government make an annual appropriation of not less than $100,000,000 to carry out the present plan of federal highway aid to the states until the national system can be established. This organization is influential. Its recommendations should have weight at Washington. Good roads sentiment is strong throughout the country today. The people have learned that permanently improved highways are an excellent investment. WORLD SHOULD KEEP ITS HEAD IN CRISIS Keep calm, good Mother Earth! Do not lose your head. Do not permit the fever-of war to burn in your veins. Expel the war germs from your system. Remember the appalling scourging you had, from 1914 to 1918. Lay not the groundwork for recurrence of that terrible tragedy. Be cool and collected. Be sagacious. Let the grim lessons of the last few years be as are-lights to your pathway. Let experience be your teacher and mentor. Let "the dead Past bury its dead." Act "in the living Present," for the binding of the nations together in just and sane Town in HOUSEHOLD Pumpkin pies, easily if a little mixed with the pu ing. You can't make In everything, the end.—La Fon "The law's delay The United States ing as much of as is the law." It is easy to hold down a job; the thing to do is to make it grow. Planks in a politician's platform are often made out of his head. These are trying days, but some people don't try hard enough. Looks as if Germany has turned her swords into Russian plowshares. About all some of our citizens join in at church is the singing. Will they deport alien bootleggers to protect American rights? The cosmic urge makes dreams. So does the cosmetic urge. Trouble with having a big head is it is usually half empty. When a man doesn't care what he rays nobody else does. Some neighbors will take everything except a hint. The modern ideal library is a stack of bank books. After a man lives too fast he has to fast to live. Washing dishes is a great remedy for double-chins. Another thing that is broken too often is silence. Many a fish gets caught in a hair net. Lame excuses don't go far. Keep calm, good Mother Earth! Do not lose your head. Do not permit the fever of war to burn in your veins. Expel the war germs from your system. Remember the appalling scourging you had, from 1914 to 1918.

Put away the hatreds and suspicions and jealousies and ambitious rivalries of other days. Come up to a higher plane of international relations. Deport yourself like a benign mother to all the sons and daughters of men. Foster peace. Promote plenty. The time for granting full political independence to the Philippines is a question of mature statesmanly judgment. There is no principle involved in this. The United States government, on more than one occasion, has given solemn assurance that the Filipinos are to be vested with complete autonomy, in due time. It is the element of time only that is involved. This country must be the judge as to when the time and the conditions are ripe for independence. When the Filipinos show capability of governing themselves wisely, they should have full formal independence and the United States should, and will withdraw its political control from the islands.

MAKERS OF 100% PURE PAINT LOS ANGELES, CAL. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Abe Martin New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, May 12.—The City Transit Commission got a lesson in human curiosity the other day which it will never forget. Incidentally it made itself liable to arrest for tying up traffic. The members of the commission wanted some actual photographs of rush hour subway crowds. So they strung some mercury lights in corridors of the Times Square subway station and posted motion picture camera and operators about. Expecting that a few inquisitives persons might hang around the cameras men, they had put six special police men on the job. Within four minutes after the lights were switched on, at five o'clock, the special police-ment were engulfed and sunk without a trace. Hundreds, thousands, it seemed, of men, women and children packed the corridor so densely that persons trying to get into or out of the station decided there had been a bomb raid and gave up all thought ever of taking a subway train again. Charlie George, from Abyssinia, is shocked at our lack of clothes and our lack of manners. He registers this shock only as a means of defending his own land from calumnators, and not to be impolite. Mr. George, who runs an employment agency down on West street, is one of the seven only real Abyssinians in this country, read in some paper the other day a treatise on the rampart car-barism in his country and a declaration that gangs of wretched slaves chained together may be seen there by any traveler. So he arose to protest. Not only are his people highly civilized, he says but "Oh! if Abyssinian girl take off clothes like American girl—no good!" One of the interesting stage presentation of the season is that of the old miracle play, "Guilbour", which Yvette Gulbert and a company of excellent players are putting on for a special Lenten series at the Thirty-ninth street Theatre. It is one of a collection of forty miracle plays all WOMEN AS LEGISLATORS Miss Alice Mary Robertson, Congresswoman from Oklahoma, furnishes a curious study. Throughout the long and arduous fight to gain the vote for women she remained sturdily and consistently an "anti." Yet in the first year of national woman suffrage she appears in the House of Representatives, the one woman holding a seat in Congress. Quite naturally, though quite illogically, the public looks upon her as a criterion by which the woman legislator may be judged, takes her far more seriously than it took her predecessor, Miss Rankin. Congresswoman Rankin was to the public but an isolated phenomenon, the result of a whim of a suffrage state. Since only a comparatively small number of the states permitted women to vote, her appearance in Washington meant little. But now, with every American woman having the right to vote and to run for any federal office, the situation is different, and Congresswoman Robertson is invested with an increased significance. Since acquiring the lack of dig-one might say, under orders from that same board. She is Dr. Flora Spores, one of the best dentists in Bay City, Mich., until the word came to her that she was meant to be an artist instead. The spirits of Dore and Peregrineur direct her brush through the ouila board, says Dr. Spore, and if one doesn't like her work, blame those dead artists and not her. The Society for Psychical Research is investigating the case. A. A. Milne is becoming one of our most frequent playwrights. With "The Dover Road," "Mr. Pym Passes By" and "The Great Broxopp" already to his credit on Broadway this season, we are shortly to see a new one, "The Truth About Blayds". Winthrop Ames is producing it and O. P. Heggle and Alexdra Carlisle are to play the leading parts. It will probably open late this month. HOUSEHOLD HINT Pumpkin pie will not squash so easily if a little dissolved rubber is mixed with the pumpkin before baking. You can't make loose ends meet. In everything, one must consider the end.—La Fontaine. "The law's delay" is proverbial. The United States Senate is becoming as much of a proverb for delay as is the law. The political campaign before election is much fuller of promises than the period after the election is of fulfillments. In Los Angeles, a man is named Lieutlessuesszesses. Hurruizieslizal. We venture that he is the descendant of a long line of hay fever victims. YES AND NO Kindly Old Gent—"Well, well, can these all be your children, or is it a plonic?" Woman—"They're all mine. It's no picnic."—Judge. The supervisors have canvassed the freeholder election vote—and the Taxpayers' association is reported still in the lead! FLAPPER DICTIONARY CRASH IN—To go to a party uninvited. CUMB GOBBLER — A Cake-Eater or Bun-Duster who makes a specialty of crashing in at teas. DARBS—A person with money who can be relied on to pay the check. DEW DROPPER — A Beasel Hound who does not work, sleeps all day and gets up at 6 p.m. DINCHER—A half smoked cigarst. DUCK'S QUACK—The best thing ever. DUDD—A boy or girl given to reading or study. DUMB-BELL—Dumb, but happy. DUMBDORA—Stupid girl. EGG—A hard-boiled Cake-Eater. With Bryan telling the past, and Doyle telling the future, the only thing doubtful is the present. Man I like Is Wilbur Hyde; He always yells, "Hey! Want a ride?"

"From GLD'S Iey Mountaina." Couldn't Be Ours, Because He Isn't Missing Anything. One of the interesting stage presentation of the season is that of the old miracle play, "Guilbour", which Yvette Guilbert and a company of excellent players are putting on for a special Lenten series at the Thirty-ninth street Theatre. It is one of a collection of forty miracle plays all celebrated in some way the intervention of the Blessed Virgin, produced back in the days when the theatre had its beginnings in the church. Here are two disappointed immigrants to our shores who hold no grudge against us because of threatened deportation. Mr. and Mrs. Filippo Quattrochi landed on Ellis Island from Italy recently. Because the husband's health is not good, deportation was ordered. During an appeal from this edict, they remained at the immigration station there on the island, and the other day when a daughter was born to them, they named her Ellis. That seems like full-hearted appreciation for halfhearted hospitality. I rather hope the government will decide to stretch a point and let them stay here. Periwinkle and mimosa are the new and popular colors for spring and summer. That was made plain at the annual meeting here of the Textile Color Card Association of the United States. Periwinkle is that new lavender-blue, and mimosa is an exceedingly dalty yellow. There are more ways than one of shifting responsibility. For instance, the oulja board. Down in Greenwich Village one of recent additions to our art colony is painting away energetically and—almost amazingly, FOURTH A Kern Cycle BICYCLE Anheim Cal Saturday He always yells, "Hey!
