They wanted to put Mme. de Guile, owner of a Minneapolis beauty parlor, in jail because she let a girl employe “bob” instead of hiring a licensed barber. The court decided in favor of the woman Eve in her garden may have thought of the apples. Helen of Troy may have been a spicy, if troubling, in- fluence.

Playing the Game 1f-OV. GROESBECK, of Michigan, arrives in Washington and immediately calls on Nominee Coolidge. Gov. Groesbeck tells Mr. Coolidge that Michigan is solid for Coolidge and there's no necessity for making a great campaign in Michigan. Whereupon, the Coolidge managers prepare to make a red-hot campaign in Michigan. Nothing queer about it, whatever. What Gov. Groes- heck tells Mr. Coolidge about Michigan goes into the dispatches for political effect. The Coolidge managers j ahead with campaigning in Michigan because they ' know that Gov. Groesbeck knows no more about what the | Michigan people will do in November than does the man |} in the moon, or anybody else. ' Uncertainty is the charm in the game of politics, as } in all other games. Seventy-five per cent or more of the people of any state you may name aren't saying a word . on what they are going to do, and the very fellows who % are claiming state solidity today are probably those who = claimed national solidity for Taft, who carried Vermont and Utah, only. In this day, the majority of the people Are not mere sheep driven to the polls. At any rate, they are not doing any loud ba-a-aing while on their way. And it is the “vest pocket vote” that will settle things. Safety First KC\AFEYY FIRST”’—a very common slogan—but do we heed it?* Do we look before we leap, or do we leap and then look back to see if the wig-wag is going? Does the right of way mean anything to us, or do we slow up "} in the middle of the block so that we can get a good start for the corner? Thru the medium of one of the very best ouija boards As obtained an interesting bit of fresh Elysian anthology, a few samples of which follow: “Both bottles looked alike; so, I took the nearest one.” “Yes, I guess the nail was a bit rusty.” “T didn’t know there was a double track and it was too “hot to keep my head inside the window.” has always liked lobsters—especially when they were blue.” - One of our late friends seemed a bit irate when he » shouted etherially: “Why didn’t that fool holler 'fore’!” And another, who was an old bard, burst into verse: “Alas! While walking on a grassy bed, {I saw upon the sward a serpent red; Enchanted by his charms I stroked the scales, And fondled with my hand, his’ copper head.” So, they have always had their troubles, and safety- first was a problem even before the days of flivvers, in- fluenza and canned horse-flesh.

Let him study that fine business (or draw poker) axiom: “When you've got a good thing, push it!” _ Did You Feel It? IX or seven years ago, a considerable number of this _ paper’s readers had become gamblers without inten- tion and without realization of the fact. They had put ‘their savings or borrowings into war bonds. They had heen told that the bonds were worth their face value, ‘Which was true. They were told that the bonds were ‘guaranteed by the country’s wealth, estimated, at that ime, at something like 250 billion dollars, which was true. They were told that, patriotism aside, the bonds ‘Were nonpareil as a safe business investment, which was true. Big finance was very kind. A fellow could buy of the banks $1,000 or more of these bonds and the banks would carry the debt, upon his payment of certain parts _ thereof monthly. Upon close of the war, there appeared in every com- munity one or more individuals who were eager to buy ax bonds. These individuals were hissed, called “shy- jocks’ and, in several instances, mobbed or subjected to other abuse. Their work was what Wall Street would call dirty, curbstone stuff. It was taking advantage of the heeessities of the poor and others who had bought bonds “till it hurt,” more bonds than they could afford. But Wall Street itself went to gambling in these bonds ‘and their market value went down eight to 14 per cent. ‘Millions of these bonds changed hands in Wall street ‘every day; and, when the high financiers had harvested | the bonds, their price went above par, where it now is. In two years, the banking interests reaped approximately a billion dollars of profit from people who, for one urgent yeagon or another, could not hold onto their bonds, But undertake control of Wall street by government, propose that the government bond speculation in Wall ‘street be prohibited, and you'll have the party bosses and the party press down on you as a ruby red bolshevik. ~ You are all right so long as you stand hitched to be What Does\\ the Job PAY?
