If a lawyer is out of work, is that legal unemployment? Tf “I am It” is not ungrammatical, | why should the reverse be. * What has become of the old-fashioned folks who didn’t want their pictures in the paper? There are over 2,000,000 state, federal and municipal laws, it is said. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. A Chicago man, fined $25 for beating his wife, said he thought the amusement tax had been repealed. ~ When a preacher asked a bride, “wilt thou take this man to be thy wedded hus- band,” she coyly replied, ‘“ if you please.” Adam did not have the worries of the eternal triangle, but he had other matters to bother him, Things weren’t ever just right. A newspaper man years ago told the writer that he only fought with his equals and that his equals did not stoop to sueh tactics. Remember the pictorial feature of yeara ago, “Jerry on the Job,” Well, he’s loose again, and in Florida. You will hear more from him. Professor Einstein says no such thing as time exists. Yeah, try coming late to school or late to work. Again tell those fellows “doing time,” that there is no such thing as time, and if time does not fly, you will. It is a phenomenon of human nature that bigoted religionists, uncompromising prohibitionists and despicable reformers are usually skinny, gloomy, angular, and as narrow as their cause. ihn # et Q:@; McIntyre thinks we should eat que, first because jt tastes the best, and Pup last. If he moves tb: China he can have his wish gratified for that’s the custom in the land of the Celestial empire. In the olden days almost every news- paper had to have two editors, not cause times were flush or to make room for another job, but hecause one had to get out the paper while the other was in jail. ! be- “Lex” Green says he didn't duck vot- ing on the pension bills; he came home be- cause his mother was sick.

AN ADEQUATE NAVY Done, and well done, with the chimera of futile disarmament agreements with European and Oriental powers this govern- ment appears to be on the point of putting its hand to the task of providing adequate- ly for its defense by sea. The demand for a navy building pro- gram that will bring our fleet up to the maximum strength to which we are en- titled under existing treaties does not im- ply any disposition on our part to wield the big stick or to start a navy building race. It means merely the return of sanity.to an obfuscated Congress whose ideas of econ- omy had seemed to be at variance with every dictate of prudence as affecting the national safety. It means that the idea that we could promote the cause of world disarmament by reducing our own means of defense will no longer operate to palsy the nation’s fighting arm in time of need. A powerful navy under the American flag is in no sense a threat to world peace or to the future of disarmament efforts. | naval } This nation can be trusted to use might wisely. History amply disproves any disposition to employ our armed forces for aggression. The American fleet is the most potent force for world peace that exists anywhere. And a weakened American navy ig;a@ very possible, if not a probable invitation to those powers whose employment of force is not restrained by the same idea guide this government to play their hands | more aggressively than, in all probability, they would if we were always able to back up our diplomatic protests in the only way that is understood by some nations. Moreover, the possession of adequate | naval power gives this government an ' argument in disarmament conferences and ia an influence that otherwise would be lack- | ing. It must not be forgotten that when; we were nearing the completion of what | would have been the greatest navy afloat we were able to dictate the fundamental | principles embodied in the Washington treaty for limitation of naval armaments. Much good it did us too, when we threw away, through failure to build up to:the limit allowed us under its terms, all the advantages conferred by the 5-3-3 ratio. But now, after years of the futile folly of hoping that other nations will refrain from increasing their naval strength be- cause we, for all our boasted wealth, chose to economize in that respect, or as our statesmen more grandiloquently put it, “to point the way to peace and disarma- ment” by such a course, it seems that the awakening has come and that there are men in Congress who realize at last that | ability to defend ourselves is the surest | guaranty of respect for our ideals and the j"' only insurance of our national safety. A USEFUL INVENTION From Paris comes news of an inven- tion which should be hailed with en- thusiasm by the motoring publie. It is an automatic jack to be operated from the in- strument board of the automobile. | In case of a flat tire the driver may | raise the wheel by simply pressing..a,.WiMagmoney to resume ithe band con-{ put ton. Each wheel is supplied with a jack in the form of a steel cylinder fitted with a. double telescopic piston, Whan nat i use the lower end of the jack is drawn up| level with the axle, so as not to reduce the | road clearance. \ The advantage of having a car equip- | ped with such a device would be greater |: than its mere convenience of operation. | The jack would be there when it was} needed. Thieves could not steal it, ! neighbors could not borrow it. A FLORIDA KEY Grey seagulls crying overhead, Sky overcast with a sheen of lead; White waves rushing ‘cross the sand, On a Florida key—tropical land. Palm trees swaying to the breeze, Gay-cotored birds high in the trees; Fish a leaping—more than one; Water glistening in the sun. Old Sol with face flaming red, Flames vermillion going to bed; A comber grey o’er-spreads the sea; Night shades fall on a Florida key. ——-AVERY POWELL, in Times-Union.
