How sharper than a serpent’s tooth is a child who turns out to be a lounge lizard. All things considered, good rich cow milk is about the most satisfac- tory heir tonic. A lot of people think culture con- sists in reading books they don't like and don’t understand. Solomon didn’t pay income tax, but think what the milliners did to his bank roll each spring. Self-determination is all very well, /ut just at present the world could get along with a little less selfish de- termination.

And now when you see a chap .with his chest in the air, you know he is one who q@idn’t spend his substance for riotous silk shirts. Esprit de corps is the quantity that makes the remote countryman in a republic feel a vital interest in the big city batting averages. Japan can't do much for the starving heathen in China. She needs all her money to build battleships to prove herself a civilized nation. A woman whq keeps her mouth tight shut and her eyes open may do anyvthing, as Miss Robertson says: but she can't kiss with any satisfac- tion that way.

In the interest of economy why not abolish the dlvorce courts and let the preacher give 'em a transfer . dt the time of the ceremony? After one has spent a day vainly searching for a drink, his only con- solation is to tell the world that prohibition can’t be enforced.

There is nothing in common be- tween free love and the kind that prompts one t‘o get married and pay rent. A jurist declares that crime is caused by the indeterpinate sentence. Apparently he doesn't like Henry James. Heinie reflects sadly that the reason the guality of mercy is not strained is because is hasn't exerted itself any. “Home brew is a great tax upon the | digestive system,” declares a physi- cian.

Chicago, April 27.—George Bryant, 54, head of the Bryant Manufactur- ing company, was found dead in bed yesterday of heart disease in his Highland Park home. His wife died suddenly Sunday night, EVEN MORE WASTE, | EMPLOYES ASSERT, Railway Umons Amplfiy Prevlous Declaration of Mismanagement | Chicago, April 27.—The railway | labor unions fighting wage reductions | before the railroad labor board, in- creased their charges of waste and inefficiency on the part of railroad managements by a quarter billion dollars today. In a supplemental ex- ‘hibit to that filed last week setting forth alleged wasté of a billlon dol- ! lars, the employes charge that pos- | sible savings totalling $1,276,500,000 could be effected by the roads if they | would introduce modern methods in { maintenance and operation. The larger American railroads spent $6,000,000,000 for operating ex- penses last year, the exhibit showed. !. “It can be demonstrated that $6,000,000,000 is altogether too much tQ move the trafiic in hand,” the report :=uid, “that failure to in- troduce savings rests primarily with railroad management and that the public accordingly is not getting a dollar’'s worth of service for the dol- lar it spends in rates.” Freight car performance, due to inefficiency. leads to ‘“startling deduc- tions,” the report continued, saying that a freight car travels an average of only 26 miles a day, is loaded about two-thirds of the tirhe and 5.6 to 7 per cent of all freight cars are chronically unserviceable. A table on car performance showed that of the New, England roads the Boston and Albsny averaged 32.2 miles per day while the New Haven got but 12.8 miles. National unified control or region- al control offers large possible econ- ‘6mies, the exhibit said, and cited fed- eral control during the autumn of 1918, “when traffic was at its heav- fest, with practically a complete ab- sence of transportation stringendy, in contrast to the years immediately preceding when such stringency had almost amounted to railroad par- alysis.” TRUE FELLOWSHIP Harding Tells Odd Fellows How He " Came to Understand What a Good Chauffeur He Had. ‘Washington, April 27.—President Harding recounted to an audience of Odd Fellows last night, asseembled in celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the order, how a fraternal organi- zation once had been the means of, promoting the spirit of happy concord ‘between his chauffeur and himself. In attending a meeting of a frater- nal organization the president relat- ed how ta his surprise he had found himself seated by a man who had been in his employ for seven vears as a chauffeur.” “It was the finest thing in the world that could have happened,” the president continued, “for on that night we met as brothers for the first time and ever after that he was a better chauffeur and I was a better employer."” y JAP GOMHI’I’S SUICIDE | Gen. Saito’s Death is Sequel (o Shoot- ing of U. S. Naval Licutenant Lang- don at Viadivostok Last January. Tokio, April 26.—(By the Asso- ciated Press)—Lieut. Gen. Saltg, com- mander-in-chief of the 11th Japan- ese division at Vladivostok, com- mitted suicide on Monday, his death being a sequel to the shooting of Naval Lieut. W, H. Lanfidon in that clity early in January, says the Hochi Shimbun of this city. Gen. Saito is said to have either held himself re- sponsible for ‘the death of Lieut. Langden or to have been irritated by what he believed was the weakness of the Japanese government in deal- ing with the incident. Liéut. Langdon was shot and killed by Toshigoro Ogasawara, a 'sentry; who was later tried before a court martial and found not guilty. He was however sentenced to one month’s jmprisonment for making false state- ments and his superior officers were censured for failing to instruct him properly as to his duties. “HOSPITAL DAY” MAY 12 Local Institution to Join With Others Throughout the Country in Havillg Special Visiting Day for Public.
