THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) MORE LAWS BUT LESS LAW The process of giving America “more laws and less law” than any other country goes merrily on. 3 “Two thousand bills have been introduced jn the California Jegiplature. If 85 states do as well, that will make 70,000. Add 30,000 for Congre und we have 100,000 new laws proposed for the consideration of American legislators. A British Parliament will have about 300 bills a session, of which few pass. We doubtless need more laws than Britain—but not 3@%times more. __The very machinery which gives us too many laws also C gives us too dew. The proposals of President Coolidge’s Annual message, for instance, are all entitled to a decision, one way or the other; but it is announced that there is no vhance of getting it this season. The whole “lame duck” year is wasted. One remedy, of course, is to get rid of the “lame duck” session. Its only excuse for existence was the bad roads of George Washington’s time. To continue it now is as absurd as to run a modern rail- road on the timetable of its stage-coach predecessor. If we elect congressmen in November, they should go into office not later than January. = That would automatically abolish the “short session.” Another remedy is the proposal to have cabinet officers personally present and debate the administration measures |: on the floor of Congress. ] = That one change, small as it is, would give us fewer, better and prompter laws, and more responsible and intelli- gent decisions on them. . 5 PNEUMONIA Most to be feared of winter’s diseases is pneumonia. It is especially prevalent in February, with its sudden changes in temperature. Chief danger of this disease lies in our ineffective means of combating it. As in the case of cancer, it presents a paffling problem to the medical profession; there is no sure gure. ticed 400 years before Christ. However, we can discourage it by keeping out of drafts and dampness and taking care of, “slight” colds. : NO GROPING : It is interesting to note how public utilities plan their growth. = The Ohio Bell Telephone Co. has just completed an eco- iceunveyaud ¢ ces the io will increase in popu-| Ph homic survey and announces that Ohio will increase in pop | with pink; silk stockings cf gay ‘hue, and high-heeled shoes with lation by 50 per cent within the next quarter century. = Qhio now has six million.

She is in our debt something like four billion dollars. ==Great Britain owed us nearly five billions. But she has} refunded it and she is paying it back—although she has to Hiaimp to do it. Now look at England’s exchange. Her money is back at par—or close to it, while the franc, once worth 20 cents, is valued now at about a nickel. When you pay your debts your credit is good. i MEXICAN Mexico is becoming a better customer of our country.

SMOCKS FOR MEN World) Darlington, former issioner of New York, youtes simpler clothing for men, ticularly bright-colored@ smo and his proposal, to say the least, is startling. But why not? Most of us, now and then, must marvel at the clothes worn by men in this the enlightened twentieth century. Why do we wear the clothes we wear? In all likelihood there are two factors: one, the universal ack- nowledgment on the part of the modern male or an obligation fo wo. the other, a vague notion that our employment, being of a quasi-public nature, demands «a certain kind of attire. When you get a man whose work (brings him conspicuously in the publie eye, you get a slave of silly clothes. Such men are governors, who go about in pot bats and un. dertaker coats, and salesmen, who, feeling that they “represent the firm,” pay more to the hotel pre: ing establishment than to the cigar Jotand.

The children listened and suddenly they noticed something. Instead of the Bird singing, “Tweet tweet, tweet!” it was saying words. It was saying: “Wake yp, wake up and look under your pillows. Wake up, wake up and look under your pillows.” Nancy made a dive under her pil- low and brought out a paper. “See what I found!” she cried. “It has writing on it.” “Dear Twins,” said the letter—for that’s what it was! “Poor Peg Leg, the fairy peddler, needs some help. Can you two children do something for him. All you have to do is to go where he goes and coax people to buy.

He seemed to be looking for someone. “Oh, here you are!” he cried mer- rily when he saw the Twins, “I thought you’d be here first and I hurried so I’ve worn quite another inch off my wooden leg. I certainly must try to get a new one or I'll have to give up peddling altogether.” “Would you mind much if you ; did?” asked Nancy. “Why don’t you : the Fairy Queen for a pair of magic shoes like ours?” “Humph!” cried Peg Leg in dis- dain, “Magic shoes, mdeed!
