THE SEATTLE STAR SATURDAY, ZONE $e | Aetter rom AIVRIDGE MANN. Dear Fotke: BIN Hicktown was a dreaming jay who never rained « bale of hay; he'd wt around the barber shop and my, “I'd raise a bumper trep if Umes were good and guys would lend a nickel to « tolling triend.” Said he “This universe tx bum; a guy gets rich by selling gum or reaps a harvest big an ain by Just inventing some darn pin; if I was fixed Ike some of you I'd show this globe a thing or two.” That's always it with some poor gents who never pay arrears tn rents; they amble on from sun to #un and never get a blamed thing done; they fill the barber shop and stores. They stand all day and block the doors, Steve Samson was a gent who tolled; his hands were stained, his tlothes were solled; the bank went broke, he lost his dough, and yet he sprung no tale of woe; he pitched right in and worked anew |] and now he owns @ car or two, Rill Hicktown still will drean his reams, and my life tent what It seems, that he just simply can’t help feel that life gave him « rotten deal; hin woes are light, he suffers not the troubles that Bteve Samson got. There're lots of birds half dead and lame who sing their cheery songs the same, who shout no troubles to the sky, who plug away and will not die; while lazy gents from coast to coast are born and then—give up the ghost!

Male fe have heard much of the flapper. We know now bat she wears short skirts, bobs hair, powders her nose, and it her cheeks. We know she is an ultralate model of female species. yet, we have heard little of male flapper—that male vamp greases his hair, stands on street corner and, between of his cigaret, comments on female counterpart going the street The male fiapper will be found evening in one of the pub- dance halls or eating places the latest things in glides, steps and dips.

If anyone should ask him point what his purpose in life is would probably blink. If for an answer he would his head. The question be too deep for him. Now that “The Wayfarer” an- gels have been chosen, where wilt ‘ the flappers go? that generous contribution, Yes, they can not. Of course, about $1,500 a year is about the lowest estimate that various groups of experts have hit upon as the minimom on which the American family can now lve decently, and $808 a year is the average salary of Protestant Christian clergymen this year, but there are still the “pound” and “barrel” parties to keep the minister's family sup- plied with parishioners’ cast-off clothing. Salvation is free. Bat the charch can't be maintained without some money to meet its badget. Five tons of evidence must be considered by the furors in the trial of Len Small, Illinois governor, who ts charged with conspiracy to defraud the state. It wii be a weighty trial. If it were possible to construct a singh telephone circuit between the moon and the earth and all the telephones in the United States were connected to this line they would be equivalent to near- ly sixty telephones per mile of cireuit for the entire distance be- tween the two planets. From a telephone standpoint the United States is by far the best devel- oped country in the world. There are nearly fourteen millions of telephones in the United States or one telephone to every eight per- sens. In 1900 there was only one telephone to every 90 persons, ‘This increase helps us to realize the influence the telephone has on the lives of Americans, It is hard to believe that grandfather could not pick up the telephone on his desk and talk across the town or the country to someono at a distance. A telephone is a thing of common property today and a thing of necessity, We could hardly estimate its value unless we were suddenly deprived of it. Bince the recent vogue of the wheeze,“No matter how fast a fish awims he never sweats,” fat men are immune, at least on hot days, from the derisive epithet, “Poor Nish” versy. Concerning some of the practices of American investors in Mexico, however, there ts room for improvement. initiative or the wealth tc develop those resources are still entitled to some share of the prosperity that comes with the development of those resonrces. Mexicans heve not had commensurate share In the prosperity that has come to foreign industrial opers- tions in Mexico. Where mining and ofl properties have been developed, only wages sufficient to satisfy native intelli gence have been paid. Taxes have been evaded or have been paid after protest. No contributions to the eultural institutions of Mexico have been made whereby the ullimate con dition of the Mexicans could be inproved with lsating benefit. All that is left when these places have been worked out is a scar on tne face of the earth and a few deserted buildings and huts, There are no schoolk—nothing by means of which the vast amounts of treasure that were taken from the ground could be indicated M-sicans are ryht in taking care that their lands are not in- discriminately laid open to the rapacity of foreign exploiters and corporations. They have a right to make sure that if these inter. ests gain access again Mexico will be substantially and permanently benefited by its own resources, .... Wireless dinner parties are the latest fad in London, No one ia supposed to speak. Communica- tion is by tapping messages in dota and dashes against crystal tum- blers.
