NO; GOD HATH BEEN THERE LONG BEFORE— ETERNALLY HATH WAITED ON THAT SHORE, FOR US WHO WERE TO COME TO OUR ETERNAL HOME. OH! IS HE NOT THE LIFELONG FRIEND WE KNOW MORE PRIVATELY THAN ANY FRIEND BELOW— F. W. FABER. Agitation For Peace is Helpful Encourage peace talk. Promote peace movements. The world should be kept flooded with agitation in behalf of peace. This is required to incline the masses everywhere toward peace as a settled policy. For centuries, uncounted the world has lived in the atmosphere of war. In almost every language the terms most commonly used are martial. Nations and peoples have thought and spoken in terms of warfare, as a matter of course. The notion has prevailed throughout the world that wars are necessary and inevitable and that each generation must experience one or more bloody conflicts. It is going to take a vast deal of talking and writing and agitating and working to counteract this subtle hold that the military spirit has upon mankind. It is going to require a vast deal of iteration and reiteration to make peace as prominent in the minds of the masses as war has been. Get the millions to thinking and talking and planning and yearning for peace, and the grim god Mars soon would be banished from the earth. Those who have never permitted themselves as fine a car as the Packard Single-Six can now buy it in the definite knowledge that in the final accounting, it will cost no more by the year, than cars selling for approximately $1000 less. They will be interested in the fact that this car affords them fine car performance, appearance and luxury at a lower price than had before been thought possible. DALE & COMPANY C. W.

Vanderbilt 2nd, has said goodbye to the luxuries and cofforts of Gotham and sailed away for distant seas, not on a racing pleasure yacht, but on a scientific expedition. He hopes, ere he returns, to have sounded the depths of five oceans. Mr. Vanderbilt intends to make new charts of the ocean beds and, in fact gather all kinds of information that might aid man in his efforts to conquer the ocean. Mr. Vanderbilt who is bearing the expense of the entire expedition is taking with him quite a number of men regarded as experts in the fields of science. The old home of Theodore Roosevelt, at 28 East 20th street, which has been restored to the state it was in at the time of the birth of the late President, will be opened to the public on his birthday, October 27. The Roosevelt Memorial Association has made a biographical collection of motion picture films of Colonel Roosevelt, which will be kept there in fire proof vaults, and which they will lend for educational and patriotic purposes. We have about 3000 Japanese residents here. Quietly and gently they go about, rather sad-eyed in the midst of our push and effort. I have seen at least a hundred of women since the terrible blight on their native land, all clothed in the unhappy black. Their faces show no different attitude—just the same immutable True Americanism consists in a yearning to be lectured at by somebody who is famous for something or other. The nice thing about being a nobody is that when you make an ass of yourself nobody notices it. Flattery is praise in excess of your own opinion of yourself. There is very little flattery. You can't blame a husband for forgetting his wife's birthday. She forgets so many of them. Evidently there were dress suits back in Bible times. The book says: "He rent his garments." It isn't the profiteer we hate, but the hard circumstances that denies us a similar graft. The difference between a prejudice and a principle is that you don't get so mad about a principle. Beards are unsanitary, perhaps, but they are not quite so amusing as an emotional Adam's apple. The lamb and the lion will lie down together when the lamb has not anything the lion wants. Matrimony is much like fly paper. The free fly never learns anything by observing those that are stuck. A magazine writer says we need a new religion. But let's not do anything rash until we try the old one. The autumn styles are wanting in freakishness, and not a single Egyptian tomb is being opened. Correct this sentence: "I always help my boy with his lessons," boasted the father and I never become impatient. DINNERSTORIES A negro woman was telling a friend that she had been to a wedding, according to Everybody's. She described the bride's white satin gown, the veil, the slippers, the flowers and everything. "And what did the bridegroom wear?" asked the friend. "Well, do you know that good-for-nothing bigger never showed up at all," was the astonishing reply. An irritable old sportsman was aroused from his bed at 3 o'clock in the morning by the insistent ringing of his doorbell. On answering he found a seedy drunkard struggling hard to maintain his equilibrium. "What do you mean by waking me up at this hour?" "Ish you Mr. Smithers?" "Yes, yes; what of it?" "Ish you the gent what advertised for a partner to go lion hunting in Africa?" "Yes, I'm the gentleman. What do you know about it?" "Nothin', 'ceptin' I jest wanted to tell you that on no condishuns whatsoever will I go with you."—Boll Weevil (U. of N. C.).

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING CORRECT LIGHTS ON AUTOS—San Francisco Chronicle It is stated that a great conference of all officials concerned with the enforcement of traffic laws has been held and a "drive" organized for the enforcement of the law against glaring headlights. It is stated that every auto is to be stopped, its lights tested, and if they do not conform with the law, the machines are to be "tagged." Fudge! The only matter of great importance is whether the lights throw a blinding beam. If they do everybody can see it and none better that the driver of the machine with the unlawful light. The law says machines with glaring lights must not be driven on the road at night. Well, don't let them. When such a machine is stopped all that is necessary is to comply with the law. Park it at the nearest place where it can be run off the road and let it stay there till daylight. When the law says a certain light equipment shall not be operated at night, just enforce the law. For an officer to "tag" the machine and let it go is official violation of a perfectly plain law and should of itself discharge the guilty officer from the public service. To do that regularly for two nights would permanently end all danger from glaring headlights. Every owner of a machine knows whether his headlights throw blinding beams. If he runs a machine with such lights at night he is deliberately guilty and should have no mercy. Let him stop where he is caught till daylight. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT OUR SCENIC MARVELS They grated of beauties of nature, till I Decided to travel around and try To view them and see What these glories might be So that I might have something to say in reply. But, although I traversed the nation's confines, The scenery I saw was pasted on signs: There were posters and bills, And collars and shoes, And shirts and shampoos, And methods of chasing black-heads from your nose. And pianos and theatres and rifles and socks, And steamships and sofas and hardware and clocks, And ways to cure pains, And ways to grow brains, And drygoods and lipsticks and handbags and stocks.
