ISOLATION? HUH? pp lIOUGH the hand of death has silenced many a man in the I, * band of ‘‘irreeoneilables” in the United States Senate, every now and then one of them raises his voice to reassert that Americans are not interested in the rest of the world and to urge isolation from our neighbor nations. This isolation question has never been submitted to the voters for decision, except in a hash of other issues. But there need be no doubt about its answer. Americans are interested in the rest of the world. Else thousands with savings for investment would not have oversubscribed three times the $100,000,000 French loan, nor have gobbled up in five minutes the $100,000,000 Berman loan and other foreign security issues offered in American markets. isolation.’ There's no such thing! SENSIBLE CONCLUSIONS “7“l GOOD deal of sanity on the subject of automobile regulation seems to be developing. The national conference on street and highway safety, meeting in Washington, agreed on one or two ideas that will be endorsed by most drivers. One was that small towns should not put in effect speed limitations of less than l’i miles an hour. Towns that actually enforce a lower limit are only out to gather in fines from unwary travelers, and that isn’t,a very nice civic spirit. Another finding announced is that the excessively slow vehicle on heaviiy traveled highways, nhieh compels all other ears to overtake it, may be as serious a menace to traffic as the speed maniac. Truer words were never spoken. However, where there is only one highway for the fast and the slow there is no treatment for this situation except patience. NEEDED: PLENTY OF PEACE ppJIIK world profoundly needs a period of peace. It needs a j long, long period of normal living, of normal hopes and aspiration'-. normal thinking and feeling—right thinking and right feeling. The world hasn't been normal since the war. The exalted spirit, the very frenzy of spiritual elevation that was put into the war. seems to have left a vacuum in the heart and soul of us. Following the conclusion of the war we witnessed in America a sharp letting down. In the ease of weak characters, who had been sustained by the mass exaltation, the let-down was complete. Two such character* were Albert B. Fall and ( barb s R. Forbes. One sold to private interests the United States Navy’s oil resources and departed from public life in disgrace. The other turned an opportunity to serve the sick and wounded war veterans into an opportunity to serve himself and his friends, at the expense of these veterans. He likewise departed from public life in disgrace. The behavior of these two men constitute two of the blackest blots on American history. It would be natural to expect an intense resentment of the part of the American people, or, at least, an intense interest in the outcome of their behavior. They are now on trial in the courts, one in Los Angeles and the other in Chicago. Inquire among your friends and learn how many are reading the proceedings in the two cases, or in either of the cases. Are you reading the news reports yourself? There is something strange about it. when people are not interested in abuses of public trust. Not because they should be howling for the blood of the men who betrayed them. That is not necessary. But because they seem to be utterly indifferent to the two disheartening episodes, completely disinterested, without any desire to study their significance and so to guard themselves as a people against their repetition. The war seems to have left us so. May wc have a peace so loug enduring that we shall get back to normal. THERE IS one thing about winter l It can make zero cut more than an empty figure. MR. IBANEZ seems to bold to the proposition that he who fights and stays away will live to fight another day. SOME LAND in New York City sells for s'3o4 a square foot, or about $13,000,000 an acre, which is our idea of dirt farming as is. Y.’ITII AN island, a sugar refinery, a mine and a baseball team, the gum king seems to be getting his teeth into about everything. AN AVERAGE of five collars was made for every man in the country last year. Somebody must be still holding that kind of a job. A PRIZE BULL was carried from Rotterdam to Paris in an airplane, but the gentler bossy that jumped over the moon still holds the record.

UNUSUAL STORE RUN BY A GIRL Former Actress, Bedridden, 'Carries On’ inTlnique Manner, By GENE COHN XEA Service Writer rryiEXV YORK.

For the proprietor of the “Bed- ! side Store” is doomed to Live in a I jacket of steel, propped ever so rigidly into a position that is half sitting and half leaning. Rain dictates that she may not move so ; much as an inch, j So the world must come to the bedside of golden-haired Dorothea j Antel if it would buy of the silk hosiery, magazines books and other . articles of this fast growing bedroom j department store. i The world must cotne either in i person or by mail —and this it is dloing. Just now the rush is for Christmas cards, and it is fitting to ! the spirit of that season that rnesI sages of cheer should issue from the i "bedside store.” Known on Broadway Which brings this story around to Dorothea Alltel.

j cry and. in the count of ton, there • lay a: lit* l-ottom of tie stairway a ! crumpled, terribly broken life That was ’he en i of Dorothea And, of Broadway, and the beginning of Dorothea Ant'd, "the sunshine girl." Cheery Quarters Surgeons, specialists, hospitals, operations—nothing could put her together again. And so she wound ' up in a dismal room in which only j her courageous smile threw any . hpht. | And there the girls who had i known her well on Broadway came and found her, and moved her to a sunny room. Eva La Gallienne, j Minnie Dupree, Mildred Holland, all names to conjure with on Broadway, ! and one of whom Dorothea might have been, but for the accident of ! circumstance. They hunted the theaters for drapes and hangings that had figured in her career and these now form the settings of the pathetic little “bedroom store." And since Dorothea insisted on gamely fighting it out someway or ntln r it was arranged that she open this unique little bedroom store. So Dorothea sits in her stage set, looking like a bisque doll with golden curls and a blue quilted silk dressing gown, a blue boudoir cap to match tnd pillow piled high to hide the wall of steel Sn which shir must live. Tongue Tips Harry N. Anderson, California Evangelist: “Three things are exerting a vast influence toward re- : tarding the progress of the Ameri- ! can nation today, and they are doubt, debt and discontent.” Yicomte De Deservillers, Visitor ; From France: "I am troubled with the questions I am asked here. The women rush at me and say, ‘What do you think of our American girls—of their feet, their figure, of their faces?' Mon dieu, what would one dare to reply except to say ‘beautiful’?*’ Dr. Marion Nelson Waldrlp, Methodist, Kansas City: "Jazz Isn't music and jazz comes from hell. It is ragtime gone crazy.” Rev. Charles F. Aked. Congregational Minister: "Woodrow Wilson’s gravest mistake was in trying to compromise at Versailles. He was unfortunate in dealing with brigands of the old world. His compromise led to failure. He secured a mockery of peace.”

ADDITIONAL TAX CUT IS ADVOCATED Revenue Bill Passed Last Session May Be Short-Lived, Times Washington Rnreatt, 1322 .Veto York Are. jTyJ ASH.INGTON, Dec, 2.--The , i yyj 1924 tax bill, enacted last I—. spring, may be short-lived, if Ooolidge Administration leaders have their way. Though not a dollar of public revenue. has been collected as yet under the measure, the bill is already scheduled for the discard. llow long it remains in force apparently depends upon whether or not the Administration decides to risk :• special session next spring. Repeal of (be 1924 bill and substitution of the Mellon tax plan in its stead, could hardly be at rum plished by the present Congress, in view of the decisive way in which this Congress turned down the Mellon bill last spring. Flat 25 Per Cent Cut Administration leaders think, however. that the present Congress could ae prevailed upon to nonet a flat P p r cent reduction of the 1924 tax "' ,! ”s. just ts they made a tint reduc- } ion in taxes paid this year, by per- | uitting the treasury to cancel one j ,f /h, <} u.'* rterlv payments.
