Later he. returned to Germany, physically hale and hearty, but legally quite dead. Various attempts have tate him officially, It appears that a law will have to be passed to bring him to life again. Since, in spite of his moribund condition, he pays taxes, it seems fair that he should have his political and hts restored to him. Perhaps if Herr Wothka were to speed limit, rob a bank or commit a murder, and then resist prosecution on the ground of non-existence, he might find the authorities more eager to end the hiatus in his life.

Another proposal made for a short route to connect the Peace River country with the Pacific, but it is another of those abortive pro- Iposals that would have no effect whatever on the development of British Columbia.

(From 40 years ago in the Kansas City Times) About 800 women flocked to Music Hall yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs. Jenness Miller tell them how to dress, along reform and sanitary lines.

More Or Less True Father's ears get pretty tired but not from listening to so much praise from the family. Another funny thing is how mor- tified daughter, who doesn’t leave a thing to the imagination when she sits down, can get when her swell boy friend drops in and sees fatfier going around without a coat on, Many a flapper’s dream would be sweeter if she had nerve enough to discard the silk pajamas for a nice, big, warm flannel gown like her mother wears.
