At this rate of dis covery, we will have dished up to us a sad but not very satisfying continued story. The plot will constantly thicken, but the finale will always be beyond our vision Judging future chapters by the one just written, we will know in 1926 what is happening to us in 19% and in 1928 we are likely to learn of our sorrows of 1926, and so forth. If we live, we may learn in time what we have passed thru. It will not be of any particular help to us, but see what a fine thing it is for the federal trade commission and the bakers. Our government commissions surely come high they function in low. Behind the Glamor WENTY years ago U. S. Steel common stock sold at less than 9 and its preferred stock at a trif 52.

Uncle Sam is going to do something for you, out of gratitude for your war tead. services. The government will throw open to hom \ Ada, ers 253,000 acres of land in California, Colorado, N New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The announcement says: “Ex-service men of the world war will be given a 91-day preference to file entries on these lands.” Hold on a minute! Before you pack your suitcases and flock to the train, you'd better read about the land. We quote the bulletin issued by department of interior > “California: Approximately 27,000 acres in Mono and Lassen counties near the towns of Benton and Doyle. The Jands are described as mountainous and rolling, very little of which can be classed as agricultural in character. The soil is sandy, gravelly and rocky of a third and fourth- rate with scrub timber abounding and plenty of sagebrush and bluebrush.” Highly attractive, eh? Don't forget the SAGEBRUSH. Ti’s thrown in free, along with the land. The land offered to war veterans in Colorado and U and Nevada is about the same as the allotment in Cal "fornia, tho maybe worse. In New Mexico, 2,500 acres suitable for grazing. The only homesteading.land in the whole assortment, that seems much good for farming, is in Wyoming. It totals 6,500 acres out of the 253,000 acres to be opened for settlers in the six states. Isn't Uncle Sam, in his generosity to war vets, over- king several bets? In the West are plenty of alkali that are publicly owned and could be given to the soldiers. Not to mention swamp lands in the South. Or why not let them stake out the glaciers of Alaska or the jungles of Luzon? Narcotics MERICANS are steadily becoming more nervous and restless, comments Dr. Oliver I.

Instead, cities wait until the dust is dry, then sweep it—partly into heaps for collectors, but also into the air where it is breathed into nose, throat and lungs. It wouldn’t cost much to get the fire hoses out and give the streets and sidewalks a thoro cleansing—a virtual steri- lization, in fact. A few wise cities do this.
