INDIANA Who was the guy that put the harm In harmony? A globe-trotter says he "hesitated" at Colon. A sort of semi-Colon, as it were. Night has fallen and, the favorite sons will shine no more for four dark, dreary years. Young people, who worry about what Is going to' become of them, shouldn't. -Nothing will. It might be observed that when politics makes strange K dfellows there Isn't much sleeping. It Is becoming a4 ,irent Hint our old friend Przemvsl may fitrare In the war news again soon. Another thing the war has demonstrated is that the way to save daylight is to use more of It If fashion shortens garments to keep pace with increasing cost, a good many will venture out only at night. It seems rather odd that so many people become insane just about the time they do something they ought not to do. It's a mistake to suppose that any man who could subsist on a diet of old boots would make a successful polar explorer. "Serbia will be born again," says a London paper. After all the trouble it has had we wouldn't think it would want to be. The men who never knew when to quit do not embarrass the world half so much as those who never know when to begin. Many a man in the cyclone belt doesn't make up his mind to dig a atorm cellar until no longer has a house to dig it und All Europe should oy this time be frankly tired of economizing on bread and meat In order to buy more explo sives and projectiles. You can't make a woman believe that the Ilea which vexes her came from her own poodle if her next door neighbor owns a dog. The annual question of what to do with a boy who is too young to get a .-Job and too proud to work about the house Is again upon us. Some people's writing is so bad anyway that It wouldn't make any differ ence If one did know whether It wns slant system or vertical. , Secretary MeAdoo says he believes the new dimes, quarters and halves and quart.ers will be popular. This seems reasonable enough. And then there are men so honest that they could not bo tempted to steal a million, but who will swipe a dollar umbrella at the drop of a hat This being leap year, employment of -those girl life-savers at Coney island Avould seem to be only Increasing the perils of bathing for bachelors. Whether or not the war has anything to do with it, you will notice that the prize fighting profession is getting pre cious little publicity these days. A writer says, potatoes cause Idiocy. JNTo doubt most idiots eat potatoes, but why not say that drinking water causes idiocy, as they all drink water? The one good point that Is made for short skirts is that they don't sweep up the dust. But the dust is not as thick as some of the designers estimate. France has moved her clocks back an hour in order to get more daylight. And Germany has been doing her best to let more daylight through France 3for two years. With each recurring summer it is well to remind those intrusted with responsibility for the rearing of the young that every boy and girl should be taught how to swim. A Philadelphia doctor says it is just as Important for a man to guard against overwork as it is for him to be sure to do enough. Yes, all of us seem to be afraid of the fatal effects of doin jr too much. When a college president tells college girls that respectability is a great handicap to a career for women the assertion is either a very serious slur on both professions and women, or a very poor joke. The number of accidents reported every week s:igosts that many people cannot be brought te take the "safety first" movement seriously. A sick kitten that has just fallen Into a rain barrel Is a miserable tiling. So is a young man who has just fallen In love with a silly, namby-pamby girl. Every married man knows in his own lieart that he can be Influenced more by a plate of hot biscuits than by a rolling pin, but it is not always hii opportunity to is choice.
