That’s nine pounds more than last year and 11 more than 1914.’ This is a big increase, possibly due to prohibi- tion. . Large quantities of sugar are bad for the kidneys but not-as bad as some of the “third-rail” beverages that used to be served over city bars. "> No matter how good a photograph, the subject: always says, “It’s not a very good one.” HANDS OFF! It is reported in London that Admiral Sims has been assured the support of the American Legion in his controvetty with the secretary of the navy. Whether Sims is right or wrong, it. is to be hoped that ‘there is nothing in this report and that thé American Legion -will not mix up in the mess, The American Legion is a splendid organization. It has big work to do in the interest of soldiers. It weakens its power for usefulness every time) it goes outside its own field. Sims is able to take care of himself if he is in! the right. If he is in the wrong and is disciplined,, the legion cannot afford to be in the position of defending him simply because he wears a uni- form. The’ government is to distribute 11,000,000 pounds of T. N. T. to farmers., That’s one way of boosting farm life. y f TOO LATE! Lenin of Russia says, “Those who thought we could completely alter the form of society in three years are visionaries. It will take us at least a century.” A long time for a hungry. man. to wait. Per- haps the best any one can do is what seems best for those who ‘live today, leaving the future to those to whom it will belong. _ “We,” whoever may be incladed in that word, their own. way. We must learn to live at least thre centuries, says G. Bernard Shaw in his new- est play, “Back to Methuselah.” i ete " POSTAGE DUE A postman writes: “Nearly every time I ae-| liver mail to a big office, there’s delay both to; my work and the person who receives the mail,; because some careless person didn’t put on enough! postage. It gets worse all the time.” | A letter carrying ‘insufficient postage not only; slows up business and mail service, it also gives a! bad impression to the sender. | Here's a little thing that causes a lot of trouble.’ It can be easily remedied.

We are becoming accustom- ed to women in polities. \It'makes some changes but not so many as some thought. For instance, before women voted, election of- ficers waiting for voters to appear, commonly played “Seven Up.” The difference on this occa- sion when the three women and one man killed time in the election booth was that they played; “Hearts.” ~ PITY THE POOR The court has allowed the widow of the late Horace Dodge, automobile manufacturer, $500,- 000 a year out of the estate for her living ex- penses. j It was disclosed at the court proceedings that the family living expenses during the last seven years of Dodge's life were over a million dollars a year. F ~ $ Mrs. Dodge probably feels that she is facing a very difficult problem, to cut the family. living expenses in half. : When the germ of extravagance in personal ex- penditure gets into the blood it is as tenacious as the deadliest disease germ. It is the same whether millions a year or thou- sands a year are involved. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments in thie column’ ma) or Tribune. "are not express the opinion of The both sides ‘of portant. tse lee | cussed in the press of TWO SPEEDY BABES 1 Bebe Daniels, beautiful movie queen, spent ten| days in jail very recently for running her car too fast. ‘Her cell was filled with flowers, and the newspapers were filled with’ her impressions and depressions. It was good advertising, and she didn’t really mind. Babe Ruth, home-runner extraordinary, was pinched for speeding on Riverside drive. Second offense within a brief period. Result: A fine of $100 and sentence to one day in the city prison. Babe didn’t like it. He didn’t want the advertis- ing. He didn't care for floral tributes or friendly condolences. He wanted to be on the diamond, lambasting ’em over, the grandstand or past the flagpole. ! : The moral is, that young and old must respect the law. Let us hope that these two distinguished infants will not forget their lesson. As Magis- trate House pointed out to Babe Ruth, personal distinction and popular idolatry do not procure immunity from rules that are intended to. make street crossings safe for all the other infants when they, too, are making their: home runs.— Philadelphia Public Ledger.

GETS MONEY EASILY Every time Liberty Bonds are mentioned some people dolefully express the opinion that “the government couldn’t do it again,” meaning that Uncle Sam’s credit with the people is not éxactly gilt-edged. This pessimistic judgment is due to the very logical state of the bond market which makes securities bearing 314; to 434 per cent in- terest less attractive to buyers than others of equal apparent security bearing 5 or 6 per ‘cent interest. As a consequence those who are willing now to buy Liberty Bonds, having no longer the stress of patriotic appeal, bid only such an amount as will yield the return their money is worth in other safe investments. 3 But those who get the impression that in a| pinch the United States government would have hard work to borrow money of its citizens have an- other guess coming. When calamity threatens their government the people of the United States don’t quibble over, interest rates. Besides recent- ly they have given proof that on anything like equal terms they prefer Uncle Sam’s I. O. U. to any other. : Secretary Me'lon recently offered something over’ $200,000,000 worth of Treasury bills at 51; per cent interest. As the money market stands today that it not a high rate. There are numer-| ous offerings at higher rates, which are regarded! as amply secured. But the reputation of the in- stitution which Mr. Mellon represents gave him a flattering advantage. Nearly three dollars ‘were offered for every dollar asked. New York City alone subscribed more than enough. The incident proves both that the people are not out of money, or of faith in their ‘govern- ment. Those who hold Liberty Bonds need not do nothing that takes a century. Before that . time we are dead, and others are doing things in feel shaky about their security.—Detroit News. BY H. B.
