PAGE 8 THE Published Daily by T r pe * wi Pres The Seattle Star About a month ago there wa ity hall over a proposal to ers for rewriting the street of stretching the payments out over a | years and thus making it easier for the city to finance the purchase of the system The suggestion was wise and t ly It one of the sanest proposals yet me city of undue strain in the railway purchase But for some reason the subject has been permitted to lag. The bondholders have sent qord that they are willing to discuss the proposal, but the city commit lapsed into quietude. Why? The city has everything to gai change, and nothing to lose. Why not go aft way contr certainly relieving the tee has uch a Transparent Palm Beach suits are back and you ean see Just how many men are knock-kneed.

He’s sure out of luck. How can you tell? at his face. Look at his feet. He can’t get ‘em on the ground at all. ‘ Listen, children, and you shall hear how it all hap- pened. Uncle Sam was driving home from market. Old Dob- bin was trotting along, as happy as could be. He could almost taste the oats that Uncle Sam was going to give Suddenly, the big fat guy hopped on the back of the Naw, he didn’t wait for any invitation. Well, it made Uncle Sam pretty sore, andhe ... (To be’ continued some other evening). Very few ice men know the difference between tomatoes on ice and Ice on tomatoes. . Easier a man’s job the more time he has to get disgusted with it, Welcome, Cow-Tail Holder Word comes from the patent office at Washington that an inventive woman has patented “a cow-tail holder.” No raucous guffaws, if you please. It is not a laughing matter. If that woman has designed something that will circumvent a cow’s tail, she has filled a long-felt want. And, if your mobile features have ever felt the aromatic swat of a cow’s tail, you know what a long-felt want is, believe us. Heretofore the tail of a cow has invited language, but not inventive genius. Habitats of farms and dairies all over the country have formed individual debating clubs and asked themselves, “Why is a cow’s tail?” No satis- fying answer has been found. The tail is not a mere fly- swatter, for there is too much tail for such a brief fly- time. it isn’t necessary, unless it be a necessary evil, and that is a poor excuse, or explanation. The theory that @ cow’s tail tells the tale of a cow’s character, also is du- bious. You see, many persons claim that a long-tailed cow is a heavy milk-producer, while the short-tailed ani- mal is not so good. What experts have accomplished by application of this method of judging a cow is not of record, but laymen, attempting to make bovine pur- chases by this rule have been known to quickly lose in- terest in cows altogether. One such layman said his in- vestigations had convinced him that Nature had made an egregious blunder when it established its milk source. Milk, at its fountain-head, he sz a very necessary and highly-prized liquid food entirely surrounded by a most atrocious insanitary condition called a cow. So, this inventive woman is on the right track. Milk— cow milk—is at the peak of its production and it is a boon to men and babes. By law and necessity, it should be kept pure and untainted. Hence, the tails of cows—cows with neither pride of person or home—should be t out of it. Welcome, therefore, to the cow-tail holder, say we, No girl is an old maid until she gives up the porch swing to let her | sister have a chance. It is just about time to quit blaming things on the war and start blaming them on ourselves. Easiest thing on earth to lose is a good reputation. The hardest thing, @ bad reputation. Cheer Up, Ye Hairless Put your hand on the top of your scalp and give three cheers for one J. H. Parsegan, of San Francisev. Per- sonally, we give three times three and a family of “ti- gers’ for Mr. Parsegan, for he sure has an idea that looks ke balm of Giiead to the writer. ~ Parsegan’s idea is patented at Washington as No. 1,061,005, and consists of a little device for puncturing bald scalps. First, you throw and hog-tie grandpa. Then, taking his ostrich egg between your knees, you puncture “little holes here and there, with Parsegan patent No. 1,061,005. In the little punctures insert fresh human airs only, carefully avoiding selections from the » cat's discard and the ensemble that wife _ teeth while looking for hairpins. It is very sim; like transplanting lettuce or young beets, nut oil for irrigation, a little massage for cultivation, and marble-top grandpa becomes, in looks anyhow, a perfect terror to flappers. “Trees are planted—-why not hair?” says Parsegan. ‘Rah for Parsegan!
