Another paradox is that in some sparsely settled sections the population is exceedingly dense, No matter how cheaply you can get something done there is always somebody, somewhere, willing to do it for less. Some American girls are ambitious to be presented to King George, but more of them would like to meet Robert Taylor. When « Buffalo man had his eye in- jured the surgeon gave doubtful consola- tion by saying “it will come out all right.” Rasputin has left these hospitable shores, but not for greener fields and pas- tures new, for he could never find them elsewhere, he said before departing. Geod roads make automobiles and automobiles make angels, an exchange says. Not necessarily; the automobile is ne discriminator. It destroys the unjust as well as the just. Money paid out by gamblers for pro- tection is a legitimate item of expense in making out their income tax reports. Of- ficials whe take money for graft or so- ealled “protection” must in return state as income the amounts received from il- lieit business operations. This can be done without the shadow of the penitentiary staring them in the face, as Uncle Sam doesn't care how he geis the money, just so he gets it. Congress bas given President Roose- velt for another three years the power to make reciprocal trade agreements. Demo- erate say the agreements made thus far redeund in our favor; Republicans say just the opposite. Here is how some of the reciprocal arrangements have worked out: Our exports to Canada went up 17 per ment, but our imports to Canada went up 30 per cent, a loss to the U. S. of 13 per cent. Exports to Cuba increased by 11 per cent, but our imports from Cuba _in- ereaved to 19 per cent. A larger dis- paragement is seen in the figures from the Netherlands and Sweden. In_ the Netherlands the exports went up 7 per cent, but the imports skyrocketed to 22 per cent; while our exports to Sweden went up 9 per cent, our imports from Sweden reached 21 per cent. The dis- parity of the trade balance is too great in favor of the countries mentioned. ‘| West toward the trailer?

SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen divorced Mrs. wife of John D. Spreckles, III, wants the allowance for their daughter raised from $100 a month to $300. She declares John D. can well afford the raise “because he lost $50,000 betting on horses in the last Roxanna Spreckles, three years.” It occurs to us that he might better afford it if he had won $50,- 000. ; At the recent annual dinner of oad Women’s National Press Club in Washing- ton a satirical skit was given in which Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was depicted as staging a sit-down strike against over- work. Considering the amount of _ terri- tory the First Lady covers in her travels, it | sas is difficult to imagine her sitting down at all. The Fromm brothers’ of Hamburg, Wis., largest silver fox breeders in the world, sold nearly a million dollars worth of pelts at auction recently at their farm, where some 36,000 of the valuable ani- mals require the attention of 180 men. Be- fore the advent of commercial breeding, the silver fox. a freak offspring of red fox was extremely rare. They are delicate! animals, particularly susceptible to in-| flammation of the brain, from which ety of them die, | Hereafter Policeman Reynolds Fer- guson of St. Louis will be inclined to let any man and wife on his beat do their| fighting in peace. He entered a house to quell a family disturbance recently, ap- pearing just as the wife threw an alarm clock at her husband. The husband duck-} ed and the cop took it on the chin. The couple went to jail, the policeman to a hospital. 1 Admiral Henry A. Wiley, who was 70 years old on January 31, has been ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to a three- | year term as member of the Maritime Commission. While there is no question about Admiral Wiley’s ability to perform his duties, many will wonder why a man of his age was appointed when the Presi- dent insists that Supreme Court justices past 70 are too old to think straight. | The Rev, Edward A. McGrath of Mar- quette University recently said in a lecture that the famous Burlington liars’ club | members were not liars at all, because they do not expect anyone to believe the | tall stories they tell. Then Father Mc- Grath was promptly made a member of} the club. Joseph Backlund, of Lindsborg, Kan., found that everything looked bigger than | he expected when at the age of 62 he was restored to sight after being blind since he was two years old. He failed to recognize objects by sight that he is perfectly fami- liar with by touch.
