Newspaper Ea- ferprive Assn. aad Vultee Prees Bervicn, Gliman, Nicoll & Ruthme: Over There! T MAY be discouraging to the more or less idle and rich who plan to summer tour Europe, but news is news. It seems that, during the world war, our heroes, and most others in the trenches, became intimate with what, in deference to delicacy, were called “cooties.” The ancestry of the “cootie” is not defi- nitely located, but our boys, so far as they investigated, determined that not many generations far removed it was the good old-fashioned seven-year itch, *ssoci- ated with a paper of No, 9 needles. Dur- ing the process of making the world safe for democracy our boys eliminated many of the “cooties” in their monthly baths and hourly scratching fests, but, as in the case of flies, the “cootie” multiplies by geometric progression, so that a pair that escaped the scratching in 1918 can now look with pride upon a progeny of 439, 643,251, or thereabouts. Today, the tourist returning from the butchery fields of Ypres, the Argonne and so forth is apt to be met by a French offi- cial holding the honorable position of de- louser. There can be no joy in passing thru the hands of a French customs official only to fall into the hands of a French de- louser. Fortunately, however, the cogno- men “cootie’ has been adopted by the French and you will not have to wrestle with the French name for it. Just say “cootie” and they'll know what you've got. They've had it themselve: Humbug OW comes the department of agricul- ture with the solemn declaration that the term “busy bee” is misleading. It seems that the honey bée is a fraudu- lent lady. She is not busy, say the ex- perts who have just finished an extensive investigation; she merely looks busy. The honey bee, declare the depart- ment’s scientists, spends more time in the hive than she does outside. She makes only about 32 trips in her lifetime and gathers less than a gram of nectar. Thus is exploded another one of our popular delusions. But one has to hand it to the honey bee. Think how long she has been “putting it over” on the public! People vs. Politicians ON HINDENBURG turns on even the bloc which nominated him, with “From now on I know no bloc. I only know the German people.” ' If he is sincere and sticks to it, the is sue between politicians and people is clear, in Germany. Great men are great so long as they have faith in the people and the people have faith in them. It is Von Hindenburg’s opportunity, but the march to victory over the politicians lies thru the quagmire of racial hatred and organized greed and, at the end, some truth may be found in the saying, “Re- publics are ungrateful.” The Seattle Sta | “THE | Published Daily by The Pudlient Phone Mais 0400, ter Representatives Franctsce Michigen Ave; New mont Bt The Pound Lesson dramatic story of rency just reached thrilling to economists, banke 1 stu- dents if not to the world in general, British money is now back on a gold And, forecart by this paper some weeks ago, the pound sterling today is everywhere at par for the first time since the war when so many monies went tumbling, Chancellor Winston Churchill had every reason to feel proud when the other day he stood before a crowded parliament and British cur- its climax, basis. as told his hearers the story of reduced balanced budgets and sound fi- It took backbone of an excep- both national and individual, program of almost put into force fol- sort, to go thru with the confiscatory taxation lowing the wa But the Britirh had it.

The story of Britain's financial come- back contains a mighty good lesson for all such. What About This | Denis tite Nt COOLIDGE announces that Secretary Weeks is not going to resign. When a cabinet member becomes ill, there seems to be a feeling in the nation that he should quit. Of course, if his physical condition makes it impossible to continue his duties, a successor is needed. But shouldn't some ans be provided for continuance of their salaries? The salary paid cabinet members is too little for the caliber of men nec ry for the positions. The fear of retirement for illness—throwing back into civil life where business connections have lapsed- should not keep men from where they can best serve the public. No corporation treats its employes in such a cold-blooded manner. Press Agentry EW YORK press agents are going to take an unknown girl, with un- known ability and “press agent” her to fame, they say. We predict but a mediocre success for the young lady, unless, perchance, she possesses unusual ability. Success on the stage is success only if “continued over a long period of time. For Lincoln was right. You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can- + not fool all of the people all of the time. Pree ewe ke >?
