PAGE |The Seattle Star We Have With Us Tonight— HE greatest drawback to spring is that the have all started again. Be-Kind-to-Animals week is kere. Health week, Tax Reduction Change-Underwear knows how Others, are all just We are not g f our week, “weeks wank week many orner, way to observe to be hind to it, come up here to and we'll at we can do Cows, hogs and horses will have to come around in the alley back of The Star plant and | up and we will drop @round about noon with a bucket of mange! wurtzels And we shal! pay no attention whatever to Health week It is just an insidious plot to get us to exercise and eat unpalatable health food and drink lots of water and we like doing none of those things. For years we have led an unhealthy d sedentary life and managed pretty well Indeed, our pale, frail appearance had enabled us to dodge a fabulous amount of work. Our interest in “weeks” generally is Familiarity with them has bred contempt. mals’ If ¢ nie s us can see wl almost nothing. Queen Anne Hill husband reports that # woman can do ‘most anything with a hairpin—except fix her hair. Hoover reports the Fijis have too many bananas. Is this a feeble ‘aitempt on Herbert's part to revive the old “Yes, no banana” ¢ “Daddy” Draper's Way TTACKING the “Daddy” Draper home at Des Moines, Harry L. Parr, secretary of the state humane bureau, tells the King County Legislative federation that “this is the only state where children are permitted to play on the streets.” We don’t know where Mr. Parr got this remarkable hit of misinformation, any more than we agree with him concerning the Draper institution. It has always seemed to us that “Daddy” Draper is doing good work at his home for orphans and the orphans certainly seem physi- cally, morally and mentally healthy. Why all the knocking? Courts are becoming so strict that about the only way a woman can shoot two men and go free is by being a bigamist, Arizona Is called the cactus state, but shouldn't get stuck up over that. Justice's Mysterious Way LD MAN LUDENDORF, over in Germany, was ac- cused of treasonable acts against the republican gov- ernment. He appeared in court so covered with medals that his breast looked like the tin roof on the Palace hotel in Soak Center, and he bellowed and raged at his accusers, the court and the situation in general. Guilty? Sure he ‘was—he admitted it with a roar of wrath because anybody doubted it, and showed his contempt of legal forms. What ‘did the court do? Not a thing but cringe under the fiery ¢ye of the true Hun and find him—not guilty! He was ‘an innocent bystander, explained the verdict, and was involved in the treason without intent on his part. And Ludy rattled his tinsel, bellowed anathema on the court ‘and the verdict and strutted forth to freedom. " Then look at Herr Zeigner, socialist officeholder. He helped business men get sales licenses and cut red tape ‘for them, and he received bribes for such service—not “money bribes, but a goose, a fur coat and some flour. He was convicted in court of accepting the goose, for that was clearly proven, and he was sent to prison for three years and deprived of his civil rights for three years additional. The Vorwaerts, newspaper, was so astounded by this sentence that it could not refrain from mentioning that Zeigner was a mere piker “beside the American oil scandal men,” and adding lamentations because “he has to pay for _ goose, flour, and fur coat with three years of his life.” These are samples of justice as she reigns in Germany. eer suggest that courts are about the same the world —just plain funny. “In New York s woman was given $1 for breach of promise, but in ~ Beaitie promises are sometimes worth as much as $5.

She says she cannot stand the atmosphere of Washington, D. C. We presume she feels much as a Seattleite, moved suddenly to Minnesota, would feel. The atmosphere out here just spoils yuh for anywhere else. Talking yourself hoarse is a simple matter. All you have to do is try to explain Teapot Dome to a friend. Half of our lives are spent talking to people about otiivr people Seattle Russians Wise RAND DUKE NICHOLAS, who led Russian troops ; by the millions, is living in poverty in a small house near Paris. He is bitterly disappointed; living a wretched life. Consider, in contrast, the fate of many Russian refugees who came to Seattle. Most of them are working, happy at it, with few regrets that the chances of war threw them to the shores of Puget Sound. If Nicholas had come here and gone to brick-laying or farming, instead of trying to live on his dignity and past performances, he'd be a happier, better man today. (X LETTER FROM \V RIDGE PANN April 9, 1924. Dear Folks: Experience, they used to say, provides a costly college. But of- tentimes its lessons pay, if people use its knowledge. And I re- member clearly when an “empty” gun exploded; and here's the rule it taught me then—"A gun is 1s always loaded!” For in an Eastern lumber camp, where, years ago, I tarried, ihe gang was very keen to lamp a “hammerless” I carried. “It wouldn't never do the trick,” they all began to clamor. “To get the drop and shoot it quick, you got to thumb the hammert T cleaned it out, and then I laid the bullets down beside it. A “click” was all the sound it made as everybody tried it. It went the rounds of all the gang as we were sitting, spelling; it came to me— I pulled it—BANG! It seemed to shake the ceiling! A man beside me yelled and said, “By gad, boys! Has he killed me?” And while I saw film hold his head, an awful terror filled me. But tho I'd pointed in tho alr, {t left him shaken, cringing— exploding powder hit his hair, and gave {t quite a singeing. We found he'd put the bullets back, and thought I'd seen him 4o jt. 1 hadn’t—so we didn’t Inck a righty chance to rue it. And ever since I've always known that “empty” guns exploded—tor many fata! facts have shown, “A gun 1s always loaded!"

Scientists are excited about the find. The skeleton probably will wind up in a museum, to be seen by only a small portion of the public. What a pity, old P.

The skulls found recently in California belongad to people who lived before the glacial period about 22,000 years jago, according to latest estimates. Another big find is made by the Nevada mining engineer, la fossil of the sole of a shoe. punched for thread. This fossil was found in rock millions jof years old. It’s a scientific mystery. Experts decide it may be a freak of nature. They don't think people lived that long ago. Reid’s latest find is the fossil of a horse’s foot. This |fossil is annoying the scientists. They had it all figured jout that the horse originally was a cat-size animal with four toes on each foot, and that evolution gradually turned it into the modern big beast with toes gone and hoofs in |their place. The fossil found by Reid should have toes. In- jstead, it’s like the modern horse’s foot. Quite a puzzle. IENCE reminds us of a small boy, happiest when he is | rooting around in an old attic. You have observed how | scientists are delighted when they find an ancient fossil ifrom which they can reconstruct the past. | Maybe you've also noticed the tendency, of science, to pay a thousand times as much attention to the mysteries of the past as to the great mystery of the future—namely, what happens to us after death.
