POLITICAL BUNCOMBE One of the encouraging signs of the times is that the old-fashioned type of political speech has about run its course and played out in this country. The American people like hokum but they prefer it in the movies rather than in politics. The candidate who slaps the voter on the back, calls him by his first name and asks after the wife and the baby, and who pays his audience extravagant and ridiculous compliments, a la Andy Gump, doesn't get by with it these days. The campaign orator who is fulsome in his praise of his candidate and his party and over-zealous in his denunciation of the other candidates and parties, to the neglect of the discussion of the real vital issues at stake and the tremendous national and world problems to be solved might as well save his time and his wind. The people today want to hear real facts and listen to intelligent discussion rather than flowery oratory and political buncombe. An exchange designates a speech of this kind by a United States senator as "Apple sauce." This paper says it is supporting this man's candidate and his party not because of him and his tactics but in spite of him. But it registers a revolt against this kind of a campaign speech. It is a sign that people are becoming more intelligent when they demand that real issues be discussed and political buncombe be dispensed with. REGULATING THE PEDESTRIAN In the accidents caused by motor vehicles, which are growing in numbers with alarming rapidity, the driver is most often to blame, but the pedestrian is not entirely without fault. On the congested city street corner, where an officer or a signal of some kind controls the traffic, why should not the pedestrian as well as the automobile and the street car obey the signal? The motorist waits when the signal says stop, but REGULATING THE PEDESTRIAN In the accidents caused by motor vehicles, which are growing in numbers with alarming rapidity, the driver is most often to blame, but the pedestrian is not entirely without fault. On the congested city street corner, where an officer or a signal of some kind controls the traffic, why should not the pedestrian as well as the automobile and the street car obey the signal? The motorist waits when the signal says stop, but the jaywalker, traveling in the same direction, goes right on, winding his way in and out of the traffic, endangering his own life and confusing drivers of cars, when, by waiting less than a minute, he could have crossed with the traffic without danger. In New York City, traffic officials are determined to save the jaywalker in spite of himself. The sidewalk crowds on the congested streets will move according to police signals, with the street cars and motor vehicles or they will be subject to arrest for breaking the traffic rules. In many cities the uncontrolled pedestrian is as much of a problem as the controlled traffic, and the time is coming when the man on foot everywhere will have to be subject to regulations as well as the one in the car. Regulation of pedestrians would serve very materially in solving the traffic problem in many places.

"Now Teuton!" eried the passen- BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY Toodles had just discovered that Stubby had been captured but did not know about Button. "When you say us, whom do you mean?" asked Toodles. "Why, Button and me, of course! Don't you remember we stayed behind to await Billy's return." "But I see no cat in sight; much less Button." "Listen! Don't you hear him calling now?" "Yes, but I can't see hide or hair of a cat in this whole yard. Where can he be?" "Goosie! He is in the chicken coop." "Chicken coop!" exclaimed Toodles with surprise dilating her eyes. "Who ever heard of a cat shut in a chicken coo?" and she began to laugh until her sides went in and out like bellows. "Stop that laughing and come over here and kick this chicken coop off me," mewed Button. Toodles, still laughing, ran over to the coop and tried to kick it off, but it was too heavy. Besides, she could not hit it more than once out of five kicks, not being an experienced kicker. "Oh, stop kicking and try to push it off with your nose, Toodles," whined Button. But Toodles was unable to do this either, and Button growing impatient and losing his temper mewed. "Oh, never mind, you good-for-nothing pony! I forgot all you are good for is to be looked at and admired. You are the most helpless animal I ever ran across!" "Oh, don't be cross, Button! I would love to help you and I am trying my best but the old coop won't turn over. I'll try once more." This she did, and succeeded in raising one side off the ground far enough for Button to squeeze under. He was free once more! His escape restored his good nature, and he begged Toodles' pardon for what he had said, and remarked that nothing should be expected from a pony as beautiful as she was; that it should be enough for her to be just beauti-ful to look at and let someone else do the work. "Are you out, Button?" barked Stubby. "Come over here and knock my barrel over, will you, Toodles? It is not half as heavy as that chicken coop." Over frouted Toodles and with one push of her nose the barrel feel over and out rolled Stubby. "Here, you Toodles, what you doin'?" yelled Nick as he saw the barrel tumble over and Stubby roll out. "Now you done gone and let them slippery eels out! How you 'spee' we goin' to kotch 'em again?" Button ran up a tree at the side of the yard and Stubby made for an open door in the studio to find a place to hide. But just as he went in, Snub was coming out, and as Stubby had to squeeze in between his legs, Snub drew them together and caught Stubby as slick as a whistle.

FREE LECTURE ON THE SUBJECT "Civilization|Doomed" BY MR EDWARD STARK LECTURING UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE I.B.S.A. MOOSE HALL, 135 W. Center Street SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 7:30 p.m. The greatest statesmen of the day have acknowledged and openly asserted that civilization is heading toward destruction. The Bible offers the only definite way out of the present dilemma. If you are concerned about man's future welfare, don't fail to hear this lecture. ALL CORDIALLY INVITED NO COLLECTION EAGLE MIKADO The YELLOW PENCIL with the RED BAND EAGLE PENCIL CO. NEW YORK, U.S.A. WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS MRS. NELLIE TAYLOR ROSS Widowed a few snort weeks ago by the sudden death of her husband, Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross is now awaiting the outcome of the coming gubernatorial election in Wyoming which may make her governor, the post her husband held and for which he was a candidate. Calmly she goes about her housework these days in her Cheyenne home, trying bravely to erase from her mind the tragic event of his death while her friends—and his—are winding up a whirlwind campaign of a few weeks to elect her. She has lived up to her assertion that she would not speak a word in her own behalf. Mrs. Ross was nominated by unanimous vote of the Wyoming state Democratic convention Oct. 14, to succeed her late husband as a candidate. Should she be elected her victory will be doubly interesting for two reasons. First she will be the first woman governor of Wyoming, the first state to grant suffrage to women back in 1869. Second, her three sons will be the only children in the world whose parents have taken turns in being governor of an American state. Mrs. Ross was born in St. Joseph, Mo. Her father was a Tennessee gentleman and her mother a Virginia beauty. She married Ross when he was getting his start as a lawyer in Cheyenne. Ross often told his friends and political alces that it was Mrs. Ross who spurred him on when defeats at the polls disheartened him in the early days of his efforts to rise to power in the state. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE WHAT PRICE MACHINERY? Where is this mechanical age leading us? The question is worrying our philosophers. They fear the elaboration of the mechanical side of life by itself may serve merely to speed up the pace of life instead of expanding leisure, to pile up the weary burden of luxury, and still further to dissipate the energy of life in petty and frivolous channels. Havelock Ellis, who has been called the most civilized of living Englishmen, holds the view that brining order into the region of Soulless machinery running at random, and raising the superstructure of a genuinely human civilization, is not a task which either man or women can afford to fling contemptuously to the opposite sex. "It concerns them both equally and can only be carried by both, working side by side in the most intimate spirit of mutual comprehension, confiding trust, and the goodwill to conquer the demon of jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretense of keeping it alive," he says. "This task," he adds, "is always an adventure. However well organized the foundations of life may be, life must always be full of risks." "We may smile therefore, when it is remarked that the future developments of the home are risky. Birds in the air and fishes in the sea, quite as much as our own ancestors on the earth, have always found life full of risks. It was the greatest risk of all when they insisted on continuing on the old outworn ways and so became extinct." “If the home is an experiment and a risky experiment, one can only say that life is always like that. We have to see to it that in this central experiment, on which our happiness largely depends, all our finest qualities are mobilized. Even the smallest homes, under the new conditions cannot be built to last with small minds and small hearts. Indeed the discipline of the home demands not only the best intellectual qualities that are available, but often involves—and in men as well as in women—a spiritual training fit to make sweeter and more generous saints than any cloister.” Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EVOLUTION OF DIET (Continued) It is claimed that practically two thirds of the world's population live on a vegetarian diet, but it will be noted that the largest proportion of this two-thirds is made up of Chinese and native Hindus. The dominant nations of today are made up of people who live on a mixed diet, and in many respects might even be called heavy meat eaters. It is worthy of note Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EVOLUTION OF DIET (Continued) It is claimed that practically two thirds of the world's population live on a vegetarian diet, but it will be noted that the largest proportion of this two-thirds is made up of Chinese and native Hindus. The dominant nations of today are made up of people who live on a mixed diet, and in many respects might even be entitled heavy meat eaters. It is worthy of note. In this connection that a comparatively small number of meat-eating Englishmen able to control millions of native Hindus, also that, with few exceptions, the men who have accomplished the greatest results effected in commerce or invention, have been those who lived on a mixed diet, where a considerable quantity of flesh food was used. There is no doubt that a strict vegetarian diet, if followed scientifically and carefully, will produce a certain calmness and poise which is not noticeable in the meat eater, who, however, more aggressive and often more nervous than the vegetarian. In partial observers find it hard indeed to make a comparative study of true types of vegetarians and meat eaters, as there is so much hypocrisy among food faddists, generally, that they will nearly always be found to make exaggerated claims in an endeavor to be steter up their particular contention that one class of food is most important than another. My personal experience, however, obtained in different parts of the United States among a host of friends including Theosophists, Seventh Day Adventists, Buddhists, Raw Foodres, Physical Culturists, Fruitarians, and many others, will claim to live without animal products, has been that not one of these peoole actually lived for any length of time strictly according to this rule.
