Present buildings are not affected by the proposed ordinance. It is reported to The Citizen that one prospective resident is going ahead with construction of her new home the minute the zoning ordinance becomes \ effective. Why delay any longer the ap- pointment of a new zoning board and passage of a new zoning ordinance? The city stands to gain nothing by further de- lay. It stands to lose.

And the gradu- .ates in Engineering; and Science, ‘the world is waiting for them. But the graduates in Economics, and Arts, and Letters, etc., lots of em: will go to work at the same job they could have had when jthey finished high school. At the end of high school there should be one year before Uni- versity, devoted to intensive Man- ual Training for the boys, and in- :girls. And most. of ’em, in that time, will get their feet on terra firma. And the ones who’ then go on to the University, they will be better prepared; and the other, they will discover their life’s work in this one year’s breathing spell. And at this Post Graduate High School, I would include AEsop’s Fables in the curriculum.

When the next war occurs, astute statesmen will have to. determine whether it will be more profitable to lose the war or win it. Alert advertisers know the difference between a newspaper, for which readers | pay, and a circular, which most ‘people throw away. The sweet young things seldom say what they mean, but, if you know their tones, you can get a fair idea of what they have in mind, Many a wife would faint if her hus- band came home and said, “Here, light of my life, is $50; spend it on yourself.” Maybe the reason husbands are refraining from such generosity is to save the wife from having a fainting spell. Gentlewoman is the feminine opposite |’ , of gentleman, but the term is practically obsolete, the word “lady” being mostly used. But in recent years the designation, excluding the “colonel’s lady”, is not in sich good repute, ard “woman” is‘in bet- ter form. Mrs. Post would set us_ right. How about it, Emily? Every nation including the United | States has had great men, but few of them | were also good. The Grecian Pericles was great as well as good.

Few railroads are in the money and all are having a tough time with almost overwhelming ahd destructive competition facing them. To get the money to buy one lead pencil, said the president of a_ rail carrier, his road had to haul 1,887 pounds, of average freight an entire mile, All other freight im similar proportion.

There was a train wreck in the West, which killed'23, an airplane disaster in ‘Brazil, which killed 14 and other mis- haps that caused sudden death to men and women, The reaction of the reader was. to marvel at this sudden exhibition of com- bined fatalities, with the idea that strange fate was at work. Well, the accidents were spectacular but otherwise, not much in the grand total of those who die each year by accident. Nearly one hundred persons are killed every day on the highways but these fatal crashes are no longer news! Nearly another hundred individuals go tq their Maker cept in local newspapers, NEW AUTO SPEED RECORD On the Bonneville Salt Flats, in the | state of: Utah, John Cobb, a British busi- mobiles by driving a 2,600 horsepower machine 386.85 miles per hour. This is more than six miles a minute, and better than a mile.in ten seconds. It is interesting and perhaps of some tech- nical value but of little value otherwise. When men wish to travel at six miles a minute in the future they will be flying overhead. The airplane will some day make such speeds without super-engines, equipped with a seat for the driver. This speed record illustrates the de- velopment of the automobile. There are many readers of this newspaper who can remember when “dare-devils,” without re- gard for life or limb, won auto races by making a mile a minute. This speed, now- adays, is schoolboy stuff.
