Mrs and Mr. James 0. Yoe had just one lovely and thorough family racket, whi has resulted in a divorce decree for Jimmie. For years and years, the petition read, Mrs. Yoemar had spent time, labor, money and ointment in accumu lating a splendid head of hair. Night after night had Mr. Yoeman had to produce encomiums upon the rapid growth of that hair, and hours had wasted while waiting for that hair to be put up. And just as he was about to reap his reward in paramount distinction Arkansas society, that head of hair came home bobbe« to the limit. Without comment, say the dispatches, Judge Bourland gave Mr. Yeoman a divorce, This is the weak spot of the case. The whole world should know what the court thought about the remnants of that lovely head of hair. There are men right in The Star's bailiwick—men who are voting in this paper’s bobbed hair ballot—who Soulfully yearn for a judicial opinion on bobbed heads If we tax mah jongg sets we should be able to pay a bonus, build eight warships, settle the national debt, raise postal salaries and buy all the ‘eff land in sight. Let's go! Watch It Go NYWAY, maybe we'll get another foreign word fo our vocabulary out of the Japanese racket The enraged citizens of Tokyo are hurling at Amer- jeans on the street “Baka!” It is the Japanese short and Ugly word for “damphool,” and it is pronounced like “bacco” in “tobacco.” In spite of the Biblical injunction against calling thy brother a fool, Americans are likely to receive “Baka With favor. “Baka” doesn't sound like blasphemy and still has the punch. What if it should be discovered that Senator Wheeler has an oil painting in bis home and an oll can on his back poreh? Babies and Landlords CHICAGO apartment house owner is receiving much acclaim. He doesn’t bar children from his building, He welcomes them and also offers a prize of $25 and a nifty cradle to every babe born on his ises. Fine work, says everybody. It is a crime to rage babies and it is a heaven-born sentiment to give them generous greeting and encouragement. But listen to a Seattle landlord: “That Chicago man makes me laugh sardonically,” he rs md you fellows of the press, carried away by a tender sentiment, lose-the angle of view that controls most landlords. It is not the babies that we object to, but the parents of the babies. “A babe is irresponsible. A parent is not, or shouldn’t be. If a babe destroys or disfigures my property, I do not blame the child, but I do blame the parents. They know better and should protect the property I loan them. They should control their children, little and big, and prevent them from carelessly or wantonly injuring the nest in which they are being reared. They should do this for the sake of the child as well as the property. “They don’t do-it. They even get mad if such a sug- gestion is made to them, and there’s the trouble. “Babies? Why, gosh all hemlock! I have four of m: own and I'd feel pretty darn despicable if they were barred from proper surroundings because I had been derelict in teaching them the rights of property and how to be decent. It is the careless, indifferent, slovenly parents that I, and others like me, object to. The world needs babies and the babies are entitled to parents that do not countenance lawlessness.” And, there you are—the kiss and the blow. We will have to hand it to Mr. Jack Kearns. He was able to get drunk enough to attract attention even in Los Angeles. Maybe He'll Need Ice ONDERFUL, if Calvin continues to keep cool! He has scolded congress for not producing laws and congress seems able and willing to respond with at least three laws that are red hot for any president to handle, In election year. These are the bonus, the tax-reduction and the Jap exclusion measures, all more or less double- edged. Really, any presidential candidate with decisions on such matters put up to him is justified in becoming a bit ex- cited, if not real hot. If they tried, the cigar manufacturers could abate the smoke nuisance ‘very consi bly. A Sound Plan ‘HE senate has adopted the joint resolution for a con- stitutional amendment to have presidents inaugurated third Monday in January and congress take office first Monday in January after election. . It’s a sensible idea. Most important thing for the public to keep in mind is that a political party by our present system is free to tinker with the lawd for several months after voters have repudiated it and elected the other party to power. That’s a poor way to play political baseball. The quicker repudiated politicians are gent to the benches, LETTER, |/FROM ¥ RIDGE PiANN Dear I went to the Met to seo “Whispering Wires,” a won- derful mystery play.

Certain id go far toward making the campaign more pic turesque. His fluency of expres sion and his graphic vocabulary would counterbalance the tact nity ‘and the dignified utter es of “Cautious Cal.” But how would the tender of the vice presidency strike Dawes? In Itaelf it isn't an office present ing opportunities for energy and action. And as an opportunity for using the expletives with which Dawes prefers to empha size his remarks, it preeents none at all. Dawes ts suspected of having harbored a prealdential bee, But as Coolidge has a corner on the republican hive this year, Char loy must elther carry his bug un der his own hat for another four years or surrender {t to the Cool- idge swarm, accepting the place of a drone in order to get a taste of the party sweets, Maybe Dawes seen a chance to Jazz up the vice presidency, or to use it—in case of a republi- can victory this year—as a step ping-stone toward the top of the ticket in 1928.
