The nan is head of the state department of education of ouisiana and announces that 1 aded school teachers by far the best. He addresses California, in particu lar, but us hundreds of red-heads, bobbed and unbobbed, to send to Washington and other states, While soliloquizing that we always found red-headed teachers the best with rattan and leather strap, we're not going to help Conniff snarl up the educational status quo, which seems to be doing pretty well under a mixture of reds, browns and blacks, unbobbed, bobbed and ought to be bobbed. But we'd like to ask this Louisiana har- vester of red-heads why, if they are the best, he is mak- ing such a wholesale offer of them. Milk statisties show we are drinking so much more milk the cows may have to start working at night. Why She Closes Her Eyes ar says he Q. “Why does a girl close her eyes when a boy kisses her?" A. “Only the affectionate kind of kiss produces this effect. When the lips are di the pressure affected by contact produces sufficient heat and sensation to cause the cells in the labial nerves to vibrate with tclent oscilliation to occasion the nervous system to command the optic nerves surrounding the eyelids to make a sympa thetic and responsive tnterlocking.”-—-Washington Answers Bureau. H THUNDER! She does it because she likes it and hopes there’s more coming. Sometimes she closes "em to indicate that she would like to dream away into the sleep of death that way. No labial, optic or nervous system acrobatics about it. She'll close her eyes when biting into a 10c peach, or an orange at 60c¢ the dozen or anything else delicious that she isn’t used to. Doggone it! there was Polly Ann Parker, round and rosy daughter of the worthy town saddler, who used to go sound asleep at it, and not a labial or optic kicking. “Heat and sensation” be hanged! Sarah Stoner, first grade teacher, only 17 and so beautiful that the doves stopped coofng when she passed by, used to close her eyes and when a fellow had picked one off her Cupid's bow, he felt as if he had been trying to blow bubbles thru the frosted keyhole of a barn door padlock. Simply, she closes her eyes because she’s delighted. In New Jersey a Judge ruled you can’t run an auto and hug a woman. We rule it is up to the woman. Hungry German Children wrt are we to believe about the “starving children of Germany,” when returning travelers tell such dif- ferent tales? In Newport a few days ago a prominent society woman gave a luncheon for Miss Evelyn Garnault Smalley, an American woman who has distinguished herself by bril- liant war service in France, and who has engeged in re- = work in Europe ever since the guns ceased iring. Miss Smalley says the fields of the Ruhr are filled with fat herds, that there are no starving babies, but plenty of well-fed adults who sit drinking beer every night from 5 until 1 o’clock in the morning. Opposed to Miss Smalley’s account is that given official- ly to the Federal Council of Churches by James*H/ Causey, a business. man of Denver, Colorado. Mr. Causey has just returned from Europe, where in addition to making -thoro investigation, he floated a loan of half a million dollars for relief work in cities in the Ruhr valley. Mr. Causey says that rich Germans were doing every- thing they could-to help the poor and that-the reports of Germans traveling in Italy and elsewhere, spending money right and left, were grossly exaggerated. Many who spoke German, he said, were found on investigation to be Czecho-Slovakians, Austrians, Poles, and even in some cases, Ameri He says every German family of moderate means is trying to find a way to get their children to Italy so they can build up their health on good food, which is inexpen- sive in Italy. Perhaps Americans are getting tired of being “easy marks” for Europe. But the average American would rather make a mistake of giving too much than to “pass ‘by on the other side,” to find out afterwards that there had been desperate need, suffering and death among little children, some of which he might have saved. In Michigan they are offering prizes for the most health girls, but some are not well enough to go after them. Our Credit: Why It’s Bad ESTROYER NOA, of the United States navy, put into a Chinese port to replenish its fuel supply. Local manager of a British oil company cabled his London office regarding the matter of extending credit, and was ordered to demand cash payment. Some American patriots are incensed about this, but groundlessly so. The British company probably simply had a line on Uncle Sam’s red tape and delay and wanted its money without waiting 50 years. Maybe you've had dealings with Uncle Sam and know how fast he pays. Quite another story when you owe Sam. Be late a day and you're in hot water. Catfish—Do You Eat ’Em ATFISH—six and a half million pounds in eight months—are taken from Lake Okeechobee in Florida and “shipped to distant markets.” We wonder under what name they appeared on the bill- of-fare. Did you ever see catfish on the menu? Maybe it’s just as well we don’t know the history of everything we eat in civilization. We might have an epidemic of LETTER FROM V RIDGE MANN July 19, 1924, ‘ To the U. 8, Pennsylvania: “Pennsylvania’—that’s a name many, many million mon adore; native state I'm proud to claim; state I've loved in years of yore.

Riding in it was about as safe as going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. That wasn't long ago. Perfection comes fast in our age. A New Hampshire hoft! starts a daily airplane service by which newspapers are speeded to its guests every day. Makes you wonder, how long until you'll own your own plane. . ° ° Remarkable air stunt: Lieut. Hutchison, landing his plane, flies barely clear of the ground and heads for two other planes standing idle 15 feet apart. He can't get between them. No time to stop or turn. So he manipulates his plane, turning it half over like a bird with one wing down and one up. Passes safely thru. With control getting perfected like this, it shouldn't be long until a man fearing airplanes as “unsafe” will »be laughed at like the backwoodsman afraid to ride in an auto. * © . Honeymoon trips by air from London to the continent are becoming common. None killed, so far. The brides are said to be less nervous during the trip than grooms. Start- ing married life in an airplane! That’s enough to make grandpa’s jaw drop. “Air lines” are being formed fast—routes and schedules regular, same as steam railroads. The next big one will be a flying service for mail and passengers, between New York and Central and South America. It’s being organized. How long until rival air lines will be competing for traffic, boasting faster service, better porters, fewer accidents?) Highways of the future will be in the air.
