DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS All may save self—but minds that heavenward tower, Air at a wider power, Gifts on the world to shower, And this is not at once—by fastings gained, And trials well sustained, By pureness, righteous deeds, and tolls of love, Abundance in the truth, and zeal for God above. John Henry Newman. It is impossible to get a square deal out of crooked intentions. Confident belief that prosperity is coming will help to bring it. Diplomacy between nations should be straightforward and honest. Freedom is not license, and license is not the proper kind of freedom. A little nonsense now and then, is peaches and cream to the best of men. Too many mentalities have, as it were, hardwood floors and ivory finish. The Allied powers should give the Turk a disciplining that he would remember. Girls presumably have cars, judging by the fact that they hear what is said of them. Preventing a forest fire is an act of mercy and humanity, as well as good citizenship. MISCHIEVOUS RUMORS OF DEVIOUS ORIGIN Whence come the many mischievous rumors one heard? They seem to come from howhere and to go everywhere. They seem to come from the very air, like the germs of disease. They are the germs of a disease—a miserable, repulsive disease. They originate from the inasmatic Dismal Swamp of malice and gossip and character-assassination. Nobody assumes responsibility for them; few undertake to learn their origin—but many pass them along, give currency to them, regardless of their truth or their falsity. And many will swear by the idle rumors they pick up as being unquestionably true. The poet has set this quick in human nature down in verse in this humorous, yet faithful, fashion: "It must be so;—for Thomas Brown, Esquire, Heard Bab's wife tell the son of Mr. Smith, (Him that was christened John, after his site—Men often to transmit their names desire.)— That Higgins said, while he was walking with That charming maiden lady aged forty, 'Yclept Miss Catchem (Higgins was her beau), She told him (confidentially) that naughty And pratling gossip, Mrs. Wilkins, thought she Heard Polly's cousin's sister's aunt say so."

He was testifying the other day before Justice Burr in the supreme court, in a case arising from a domestic controversy. He had explained that the husband in question, who lived in the apartment house where Cleary is doorman, often came home defuddled by liquor. He told of rather gay parties who had gone to the husband's apartment. Then Judge Burr asked him, if he would, nevertheless, consider the man respectable. "Oh, he's respectable enough, I suppose," said Cleary tolerantly but with some doubt. "As respectable as you or I?" questioned the judge. "Well no more respectable than I," was the insistence. "He just has more money." "As respectable as I?" the judge persisted in an effort to get some sort of status for the "respectability." "You would know best about that, Judge," said Cleary. New York City's condensed way of living these days is nowhere illustrated more concisely than in the fact that motor cycles are taking the place this fall of moving vans. With a box top built on the motorcycle, and the sidecar filled, a good cyclist can transport the contents of the new kitchenette homes. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Dutiful Wife: The term commonly used to describe a feminine valet. Many men who hate the female of the species are attracted by a female with the specie. The Australian rabbit never knows whether he will be a felt hat or a sealskin coat. Showers for the bride are simply a delicate allusion to the fact that she will reign. A man's inalienable right to work doesn't lessen the hurt when a picket cracks his head. There is always room at the top for the man who has an uneasy feeling that he isn't earning his salary. When we see one of these painfully dignified fellows, we can't help wondering how he looks in a night shirt. Correct this sentence: "I am so glad," the wife said, "that you have feminine friends who are able to appreciate you as I do." The world advances along some lines, but it has never improved on the original lie: "I don't care about the money, it's the principle of the thing." TOWN IN REVIEW IRELAND AGAIN There are grown people in Ireland who have never seen peace. TOWN IN REVIEW IRELAND AGAIN There are grown people in Ireland who have never seen peace. A train almost ran over King Emmanuel. You can't get by a crossing on your reputation, says Tom Sims. JES' FORE ELECTION (Apologies where they belong) I like to spend the county's dough, To take a stubborn stand, To do as I be-dog-goned please, To boss with iron-clad hand; I like to hold a secret meet With just we four, or three—But jes' 'fore election, I'm As good as I can be. I like to think that what I do Is none o' the public's biz. To hide each official re-port so "Ain't sure just where it is"; I like to pass the bucking buck, Between us four, or three—But jes' fore election, I'm As good as I can be. SETTING HIM UP As told by Sen. Heflin (Ala.); A Republican farmer in the west was asked, "Are you for Harding?" He replied, "Well, I can truthfully say he put me on my feet." "Then of course, you are for him," his questioner said. The farmer replied, "No, I ain't for him. Let me explain. I used to ride in an automobile under the Wilson administration, and now I have to walk. Harding put me on my feet." Can he remember when the bonus bill was introduced? Ex-Senator Cole is 100 years old. —News item. CHINESE The Chinese were practicing with aviation before Europe learned to use sail-boats. Mongol, Tartar or Manchu, they have flown man-carrying kites for centuries. If they had had a mechanical genius to provide them with motors, they might have bombed Rome with giant fire-crackers 2000 years ago. This interesting information is circulated by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce. It discloses the principle behind the decay or oriental civilizations, China especially. The Chinese were wonderful originators. But they rarely developed anything beyond a tenth of its possibilities. The thing that makes America great is the development of ideas. New York City's condensed way of living these days is nowhere illustrated more concisely than in the fact that motor cycles are taking the place this fall of moving vans. With a box top built on the motorcycle, and the sidecar filled, a good cyclist can transport the contents of the new kitchenette homes. Clothes for men this coming season are evidently responding to the cry of the restless one in the political meeting who insisted that the speaker talk "louder and funnier." No words other than exactly those would do justice to the new men's styles. I should say after seeing the exposition now being held here. Red, purple and magenta neckwear; Scotch tweeds in patterns that could be discerned through a London fog; sport stockings tin which the rainbow runs rival to the chequerboard; plaid shirts in heather shades; those are only a few of the details which thrust themselves upon our eyes. Oh, there is no doubt but what the male peacock is coming back into his own! Elementary and advised Chinese are among the new language courses at Columbia University. They will be given by I.C.S.Tung. A new star took its place in the theatreal heavens the other night, with the opening of "Dreams for Sale." It is Helen Gahagan, pronounced "Gaygen". Unknown herefore in New York, Miss Gahagan displayed a talent, charm, and cultivation which were delightful to the audience. The first-sighters had gone to the playhouse wondering who this newcomer might be who was intrusted with the leading role in the new Owen Davis play. It left wondering how she could have gained her polis and her evident stage experience without Broadway ever having heard of her. The play itself is an interesting story of a business feud in the Main woods, and the love affairs of the pulp mills owners son and daughter. Score one more for the youthful flapper of today. When Helen Doherty, 14 years old, awake from sleep the other night in her Brooklyn home, and found a burglar standing over her, she didn't scream or faint. She punched him in the eye. Then she grappled with him and fought him all over the apartment. He escaped at last, but he tako loot with him. He was glad to take himself alive. Then when the police had searched for him for two days, with no results, Helen took that job to herself also. She started out early in the morning determined to find him. She watched every poolroom, street-crowd and elgar store in the money, it's the principle of the thing.” Safety first commits in assuming that the driver you are meeting hasn't any more sense than you have. While beating swords into plow-shares, it might have been a good idea to beat a few of them freight engines. Our own guess in that after conquering the world Alexander died of rage while trying to collect the indemnity. How Western children will be thrilled, fifty years from now, by movies of the wild and woolly gunmen of the East. Most of the chaps who handle the smaller jobs wonder if a executive can tell the difference when he takes a vacation. Even insects have their preferences, and the humbug appears to have a peculiar attraction for the political bee. Chiming bells move us to happy thoughts unless they do while we set it up. What can a working girl live on? Well, she can live on the money wasted by those who toll her what she should live on. If you are really weary of this vain world, just walk down a quiet street carrying something that resembles a pay satchel. There are just two classes of workmen—those who keep an eye on the foreman, and those who keep an eye on the foreman's job. WM. J. OELKE FUMIGATOR 218 S.

In London one Earl Beatty ran into a truckload of beer. We seldom run into that much over here. The naturalization age record has been smashed. Dr. J. R. W. Ward, globetrotter, has just become a citizen of the U. S. A. at the age of 97. He declared that he had seen all other countries and knew that this was the place where freedom and liberty most prevailed. The previous holder of the age record was a German woman of 83, who forewore the kaiser's land last year. The volunteer stage censorship plan for the New York stage has begun functioning in so far as the committee has just held its first meeting. It is said to be purely a coincidence that the meeting was set for the date which marked the opening of Avery Hopwood's "Why Men Leave Home." It was his play, "The Demi-Virgin" which started all the ruction last season between the producer and Commissioner of Licenses Gilchrist.
