=*that is not in the Seattle country. Collecting Mental Junk N The Star you read of an aged man who apparently spent a lifetime collecting junk. This makes you say: “How foolish!” Not half as foolish, tho, as spending a lifetime collecting mental junk, as many of us do. We turn our minds into catchalls, stowing away rafts of useless knowledge, day after day, until there is no room for useful facts. You can't possibly learn everything there is to learn So why try? Store away things that you will use and forget the rest The theory that “I may need it sometime” is responsible for more useless junkpiles than anything else. There'll Be One a Minute Er will delight every Seattleite having an office to learn that the Dawes reparations plan includes sale in open market of about 19,300,000,000 marks (gold) of deben- tures. What the office man needs is more visits by parties having stocks, bonds, debentures, ete., for sale. It has got so that a fellow receives only 10 or 12 of such visits per day and one’s mail is no longer over one-third printed offerings of debentures of one sort or another. Verily, the office man is going to be happy. He will only have to tap a bell on his desk and get in a purveyor of deben- tures at any moment he pleases. Never worry too much about how late it is because it never is as late as it will be « little later. $200 Cook ‘Stoves HOSE enthusiastic boosters who insist upon speaking of the West as Gawd's-country have considerable to justify them. Take this little indication of man’s humanity to woman, and of the growing influence of the great American home. There is a Coast city that has a building boom well under way. Mostly the construction is of homes for the middle class, for average citizens like all of us. Within the last 30 days in this city there have been more than $00 electric ranges sold to middle class homebuilders. Now an electric range costs from $150 up, with an average cost, installation and all, of about $200, yet 300 average families in one coast city, in one month, pay, or agree to sometime pay, $200 each, for a range. It is doubtful if anywhere else on earth will one discover average families spending income, or savings, for $200 “cook stoves.” It was only yesterday, when grand- pop brought home a $24 kitchen stove on the spring . maybe with a hot water reservoir on it, too, he was the talk of the community for a week. These average Western homes all have fireplaces; they have recessed baths and cabinet ironing boards; they _haye electric cleaners and electric washers and electric ironers. There may yet be districts in this country where pop builds a $10,000 barn and a $500 shack for ma, but Out here we live in new houses, and our kitchens are as equipped as afactory, as scientific as a laboratory, and as cheery as a robin on a blooming peach bough. She is now “Elinor Glyn, Limited,” but still not enough. Nearly Friends Again FT is a blessed thing that human memory is short and ‘time quickly dulls the edge of hatreds. A few years ago most Englishmen and a majority of Americans were taking oaths never to speak to or have anything to do with Germans again. England is trading freely with Germany and, for the first time since 1914, a German vaudeville act is playing hh music halls. Seattle Germans and Americans are friends again. Time has softened the edges; sober thought has told us that the German people weren't to blame so much’ as their leaders and lords. ‘Who knows but that the hoof-and-mouth quarantine may be extended to the republican news bureau in Washington? The Safest Bet There Is 'PRING is in the air and the boys along Second ave. are blossoming forth in gray, the fashionable color for men this season. In London Lloyds is betting three to one that England ‘will have a beautiful spring, with rain not more than one day in five this summer. ¥n Seattle you may, with complete safety, bet 1,000 to ‘one that the city will have a beautiful spring and summer. That's the safest bet there is. Word from Paris is that the hosiery men are putting out more filmy _ offerings than heretofore, and it is easy to see thru their scheme. Fry Walking to Work “TTA!” said the street car motorman, nodding to a couple of pedestrians striding along the pavement, “spring’s here. There’s two of my regulars walking to work again.” If you don’t live too far out, why not try walking down in the mornings? You may have to get up a few minutes earlier, but that won’t hurt you. And the brisk exercise will get you to your desk or bench feeling fit and ready for a hard day’s grind. It will... But, shucks, if we keep writing any longer in favor of walking to work we shall, we’re afraid, kid ourselves into actually doing it. "X LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN “The Royal Order of Wouffhoung” will assemble when the convention of radio amateurs of the Seventh radio district meets in the Y. M. C. A. Friday and Saturday — The Star. Dear Folks: Look out for the thrumming that threatens the ear! ‘The Woufthoungs are coming—they're gathering here! They're turrible créetirs that come on the alr; they travel by meters, and go everywhere! No house is protected when- ever they wouff—their voice is projected right into the roof! ‘Their cry is emphatic; you. can't make it quit—tho Gen- eral Static may dull it @ bit. The ether—they boss it with mystical wiles; their messages cross it for oodles of miles, Like witches in stories, who traveled on prooms, the Woutt- hounger glories in-entering rooms! But still they can't harm us, or weaken our heart. In fact, they can charm us with much of their art. We value them dearly, and all of their clans—for Wouffhoungs are merely our radio fans! ...
