The golden rule was Invented for others. All bootleg'ls bad, but some Is worse than others. That new dry order has caused con Rldcrable fennent. General Wrnnsel Is n tolerably gool cscapcr, at any rate. The only perfect tax Is ono which the other fellow pays. Everything on the Adriatic Is set tied except D'AnnunzIo. Open winters are all right In their way, but open summers are better. Those with barren coalblns have n burning opinion of the coal barons. Next to a substitute for coal a number will be wishing for n 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 an early spring. Spain Is to recognize Mexico. The former country has certainly seen tho latter before. Kussla may soon be able to buy In the markets of th world, but not wMi paper rubles. A dispatch says whole Polish towns nro babyloss; perhaps the people arc nil living In flats. It Is a long, long way, apparently, from tho cheap barrel of Hour to tho cheap loaf of bread. Tho high cost of living has attacked romance In Ilunua, where tho prlco of wives has gone up. China makes some curious blunders sending over thousands of pigtails when tho wall Is for cocktails. Japan has shut down on silk production. We may now have to tako our shirts off and go to work. The flrst photograph sent by wire In America was that.' of an Indian chief, which was singularly appropriate as being the photograph of a tlrst American. . . A noted comedian claims that spooks Inhabit a house he recently bought. Hut Is there anything an actor likes better than seeing thd ghost walk? According to a prominent clothing designer, "there will bo no frills in men's clothing next year." That is good, but a little more loose change would help some. A man In London was sentenced to six mouths imprlsonnr .t for pouring oil over a girl and then setting her on fire. And yet some accuse the British law of being too drastic. From the defenses of the practice put forth one must coino 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 olllcers interned by the old regime on a charge of treason means. One can go from Key West to Havana by airplane In 00 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 bo forced to sell their goods at 50 per cent above cost I 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. The 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,.r00.000 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'Annunzio is going to retire to a monastery. Just so he retires, so they tan hide his clothes. A French minister has declined a twelfth duel on the ground that it's a foolish practice, but, at least. It feems harmless enough. England Is sah! to view with alarm the growth of the rouging habit by women and girls. In time It will rise to tbj level of amusement, s vlth US.

Installed nearly eight years ago, but never put Intft service, are now being cleared of the cobwebs and stains of time, and will be in shape to offer their luxuries of steam, plunge, shower and electricity to the members of the new senate when it assembles. 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 result the baths, Installed In the then new senate office building, were shorn of their expensive equipment, bereft of their attendants and left to gloom.
