Would you know what sort of weather we had on the Pa- Cific Coast 300 years ago? Go ask the stump of new fallen fir or spruce or redwood, It will tell you exactly. Are we etting as much rain as we did a hundred years ago? The Stump will tell you. Are there cycles of wet years? Look at the stump once more and find out. i Within the rings of the stump is the essential story of “the continent for 200 or 300 years, even to the coming of the white man, the coming of the rifle ball, the passing of ‘the obsidian arrow, the coming of forest fire and the blaz- Ping of ancient Hudson Bay fur trails. All that and much more is in the stumps of the forest all about us, but still we go forth and rave over a bit of silly water slipping down @ rock; just as we “adore” brilliant sunsets, but never dream of spending an idle hour getting acquainted with the » march of the Great Dipper about the pole star. We are cat-minded; our mouse must be on the jump to interest us.

What Do You Do, Folks? ». Amighty serious problem confronts autoists who travel at night. What is an autoist by night to do when a fellow gets out Min front of his machine and cries “Stop!” The fellow in need of help and deserving it, the prohibi- tion enforcement officer and the hold-up villain make the Saignal or order to stop, and the fellow at the wheel has to ‘make.his decision in two seconds, ss time. If it is a fellow who ought to be helped and you run away from or ‘over him, you'll feel mighty mean. If it’s a hold-up man and you don’t hit him, he’s liable to take a shot at you. If it’s an enforcement officer, he is likely to take you for a Smuggler or bootlegger and blaze away at your back. The other night, while returning home from—from church, a dark threatening form appeared at the roadside. We put both feet on the “gas” and got home safely. The ) next night, the same dark form was there by the roadside. Tt wasn't a holdup villain or an enforcement officer. It was ‘just the shadow of a big post, but that discovery doesn’t )) keep our hair down in place when out nights. Reader, O beloved reader! What do you feel and do, ‘when a dark form appears and orders a stop? Write on » only one side of the paper and use pen, not pencil. Americans are rushing to Europe. Immigrants are rushing here.

Mayor and controller of New York called each other liars, Maybe F) both were right. Recent earthquakes recorded by Georgetown seismograph may have been Henry Ford thinking. The Weapon of Fools : Now comes word that a campaign of abuse is to be © launched against Henry Ford, who is often mentioned now- © adays as a presidential possibility. Charlie Hilles, one-time chairman of the republican national committee, fires the | first pea-gun. He calls Ford “a bag of gold.” That’s very, very saucy and severe. : But, what a fortunate man is Ford, after all. Not only is he advertised by his loving friends, but his self-elected = enemies are doing their worst, which is the best, for him. | Ford has thrived on ridicule, a potent and destroying f weapon as a rule, and he has transformed knocks into ‘| boosts. It is not unlikely that he will now eat up abuse and wax fat, even politically. Indeed, he may be forced into |» the presidential race in spite of himself—forced by foe as * well as friend. = Apparently the opposition to him, if it has any right of © existence at all, is not wise enough to seek the aid of its most effective weapon—silence. Fools invariably have re- a sort to abuse. Postmaster of Philemont, Va, is 99 years old, and works instead of chasing around to dances.

The British Crown No American democrat need giggle because the British Tabor party has refused to declare the royal family is _ not necessary. British democracy has so stripped royalty of its ages- gold prerogatives and pr ges that it is almost solely ornamental, and we all favor ornaments, the costlier and | More unnecessary the better, with many of us. The British crown is a good deal like the comb of a rooster. It brightens an ugly head and is a good handle for enemy roosters to get hold of.
