The golden rule was Invented for others. All bootleg Is bad, but some Is worse than others. That new dry order has caused considerable ferment. General Wrrjngcl Is a tolerably good escnper, at any rate. The only, perfect tax Is one which the other fellow pays. Everything on the Adriatic is settled except D'AnnunzIo. Open winters are all right In their way, but open summers arc better. Those with barren coalblns have a burning opinion of the coal barons. Next to a substitute for coal a number will be wishing for a hopless process. France wants Germany to pay her way In, objecting to any complimentary tickets. About the only thing left for those without coal to do is to pray for on early spring. Spain Is to recognize Mexico. The former country has certainly seen the latter before. Russia may soon be able to buy In the markets of the world, but not with paper rubles. A dispatch says whole Polish towns are babyless; perhaps the people are all living In flats. It Is a long, long way, apparently, from the cheap barrel of flour to the cheap loaf of bread. The high cost of living has attacked romance In Kurma, where the price of wives ha 3 gone up. China rankes some curious blunders sending over thousands of pigtails when the wail is for cocktails. Japan has shut down on silk production. We may now have to take our shirts off and go to work. The first photograph sent by wire in America was that of an Indian chief, which was singularly appropriate as being the photograph of a first American. A noted comedian claims that spooks inhabit a house he recently bought. But Is there anything an actor likes better than seeing thd ghost walk? According to a prominent clothing designer, "there will be no frills in men's clothing next year." That is good, but a little more loose change would help some. A man In Loudon was sentenced to six months Imprisonui' .t for pouring oil over a girl and then sotting her on fire. And yet some accuse the British law of being too drastic. From the defenses of the practice put forth one must come to the puzzling conclusion that the Naval academy plebe would rather be hazed than happy. The world may be a little muddled on Greek politics, but It knows what the release of 100 German-trained Greek army officers Interned by the old regime on a charge of treason means. One can go from Key West to Havana by airplane n 90 minutes; and for some reason a good many people do. No matter how much in the right a man may be, he will find himself in wrong at the end of the argument with his wife. If the public continues Its strike against buying, profiteers may yet be forced to sell their goods at 50 per cnt above cost ! Manufacturers announce that spring suits will be 30 per cent cheaper. Father in a new spring suit will be a sure sign that It Is spring. Thn annual post-season game between the farmers and the chinch bugs has been announced, with the usual number of bear stories coming from the farmers' camp. The Iowa train robbers who hid $3,500,000 In a chicken house may have thought that If the place was robbed the thieves would take the chickens in preference to the change. Few care particularly whether D'Anminzio is going to retire to a monastery. Just so be retires, so they can hide his clothes. A French minister has declined a twelfth duel on the ground that It's a foolish practice, but, at least. It feerns harmless enough. England Is wild to view with alarm the growth of' the rouging habit by women and girls. In time It will rise to the level of amusement, us with us.

Jones of Washington and it would forbid all American citizens abroad and members of the American diplomatic and consular services to serve liquors at public or oflicial functions, or to recognize clubs where such beverages are dispensed.

Charges of extravagance were aimed at the batns In congressional debate when the power of administration last swung from Republican to Democratic, and as a r?sult the baths. Installed In the then new senate office building, j were shorn of their expensive equipment, bereft of their attendants and left to gloom. The marble slabs, Turkish rugs and steam proof tables and chairs were turned over to government hospitals, and only the marble shells and nickel fittings left In place. Now, however, the baths are coming back, but under a new plan. Members of the senate themselves will pay a large part of the operating expenses, and a special unofficial committee has taken charge of the assessments, which will be levied against each user

turn to the fcleral treasury In the form of reven': x a large dividend on the Investment.

United States, or any of its agencies, to o or carry on any ordinary vocation or business on Sunday, the purpose of tliis act being to express our national determination to honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy as God commands, thereby securing for all that opportunity for spiritual and bodily refreshment decreed by our Lord for the happiness of all men and the safety of all nations.

Door to Dignity (Ja i In proportion to the service lie exacts. The baths will be somewhat less gorgeous than the original plan anticipated. They will, however, in their luxury and completeness still have claim to comparison with private club Installation. Senators will be able to steam themselves out in a series of .marble hot rooms, resuscitate themselves on the drying room cots, Invigorate under one of the several types of needle and drench showers, and float In the swimming size plunge. They also can try massage, the electric cabinet, or the prickling shock! from the fctatlc machine.
