Fighting roihevlsm now U like shadow boxing. Knit profiteering Just now I clvlllzatl ns especial hure pje. The allies are Unding it easier to borrow money than to return It. One of tlic rights the Woman's party claims Is flint of bobbing the hair. The concern about the League of Nations, Is, Indeed, a going concern. The new passenger rates are additional proof that there's no place like home. i Gasoline is not the sort of oil, evidently, to pour on the troubled crime waves. From the late world conllict comes the belated lesson that war never pays Its way. One drawback to disarmament Is that everybody will want to be the policeman. Those who advocate nickel tips will oblige by Unding' 11 waiter who'll accept them. The Wellesley professor who said women "had laziness of the jaw" was polite If not truthful. This Is the season of the year when the woman with the sable coat claims she has nothing to wear. The Keds have captured the universe, If it's true that a comet is to blow up the earth on June -0. It's too early to think about putting on short ones, but we can shift our worries to the high cost of ice. There must he something wrong in lCussiu. Neither Lenin nor Trotzky has died or been shot for a week. Kefusal to limit armaments means only that preparations for the next war among friends are under way. L'gg prices Indicate that the frugal lien has accepted a cut In wages and is working her way back to normalcy. Kent profiteers should not be perinltted to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery of returning prosperity, The worst of It is that Europe will run into more trouble, no matter which plan is adopted about anything, There is good political as well as business philosophy In the old, famil iar saying: "Never borrow money to pay debts." A Utah bill proposes a tine of from $J."i to $500 for wearing heels' more than one and one-half . Inches high, but

She probably In sists on putting on the record he doesn't care for. Another thing in favor of leading the way toward disarmament Is that other nations following our example would have more money with which to pay the Interest on what they owe us. Let us all supplement the hammer with the saw and other excellent tools, and do some constructive knocking and building. There Is no real suffering in Mex ico now, except that of the schoolboy who is trying to learn the dates of all the revolutions. It will take more than one "Retter English week" to harmonize the wide spread disagreement of American crbs and nouns. Calling the profiteering landlords "rent rats" may notm help the situation, but It seems to relieve the feel ings of the tenants. Sweeping changes are forecasted in I

golf rules, designed perhaps to protect I than O.roo :rcres have been planted aceagles, birdies and other wild life con-1 cording to n census made !v the coun-

Considerlng the low tax rate iu Germany, it is not surprising that the dye ii.lustry should oe more proliferous than in its mot prospeious days be fore the war. Kuropo isn't worrying about our re fusal to cancel the war loans; she'll do it with- the tips from American tourists next summer. If blue laws ever get here they can't possibly eausfiny more suffering than a lot f peojb seem to be enduring In just contemplating them. There are two sides to every ques tion. For example. Mexicans In the Tntnp.eo oil fields are protesting ig:iinsj the int'.ux of labor from the United States.

Young Winston Phillips, nineteen, slipped into platitude and said he and Mrs. Phillips, who is forty, were married down In Shelbyvllle, Ky., the other day "Just to show them that we are free. white, and twenty-one." Mr. and Mrs. Phillips came to Chicago from Louisville, Ky. In their wake came dispatches from Louisville stating that Phillips, son of Dr. William Phillips, a prominent Louisville dentist, had first courted Susan, the daughter of Mrs. Tuella Gaines, but had suddenly transferred his affections to the rich mother. "It was this way," Phillips said. "I was sort of going around with Mrs. Gaines' that Is, Mrs. Phillips' daugh ter, Susan, for a while, but I'm quite sure I never asked her to marry me. I met the Gaines girl about a month before I married her mother. I called on Susan for a while, but she fell 111,

Charles Green,' formerly of the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth infantry, received 3,311 votes. The barber received 357. Mayor Townsend and Col. Green will fight it out at the regular election. Just before the election Mr. Groshans published In a local newspaper n full-page advertisement. "Citizens, If you would have a man for mayor, and not an automaton, jthen vote for William A. Groshans. Who Is this man Groshans and what has he ever done?" Inquires the advertisement, and Mr. Groshans Is right there with the answer : "Ho has become, nt the age of thirty, one of the world's foremost checker players. Checkers Is a brain game. "He discovered the cause of bald ness a thing the scientific world for centuries has failed to do. "He discovered the secret of select ing laying hens from nonlayers.

Somebody in Milwaukee Needs $50,000

rv 1 I MILWAUKEE. WIS. An attempt to extort $50.000 from Mrs. A. Schle singer, reputed Wisconsin's wealthiest woman, is revealed. Continued threats have been made that unless the money was forthcoming members of the Schle singer family would be killed and bombs set at the door of the palatial Schlesinger residence at 477 Lafayette place. One suspect has been arrested. but after a two-day grilling was re leased. It is said that the Schlesinger family decided not to prosecute, to avoid publicity. Ahout a month ago letters began to arrive at the Schlesinger homestead. The first, mailed to Mrs. Schlesinger, demanded that $10,000 be placed in a store at Eighteenth and Vilet streets. The letter closed with the statement: "Unless payment Is made I will kill one of your sons. I demand imme "He Learned About EVANSTON, ILL. Just what are the provisions Inferred in the verbal cgntract of betrothal? Thl3 legal question troubled Harold McKlnzle of the Northwestern university as he nervously fingered a diamond engagement ring. His ears are still burning from the caustic words of his former fiancee, Miss Elsie Nye, a Benlor co-cd. In fact, those Immortal words have been passed along until they are the talk of the campus. "Here's your old ring! Because we vere betrothed didn't warrant your assuming entire control of me." Harold wonders just how far he was within his legal rights when he assumed that his fiancee would accompany him to the senior dance without any formal Invitation. Here's the newIdea In refrigeration. Harold Is calling for Miss Nye on the eve of the dance. "Wonderful !' he exclaims, devotedly.; 44 You sure look like one million doilars. Let's go!" 'do?" queries the fair one. lrontcallv.

"Free, White and 21 and then I got to going out with her mother. I don't know- Just how It came about, but Mrs. Phillips and I had such good times together we Just dcrl-Jed to get married. "Last Saturday we went to Mrs. Phillips home and told her daughters we had decided to get married at once. The girls made a terrible scene. There are four of them. Susan, the one I went around with. Is nineteen. Then there are fielen, eighteen; Kussel we called her Rabe fifteen, and Julia, twelve. Well, none of them wanted their mother to marry me. In the fuss they made Helen and Rabe fainted, and all that. "Then we went to mj mother and father and told them. They objected, too, but gave in when they saw we were determined. So we drove down to Shelbyville, .TO miles, and did it. "It created a sensation. There was talk of horsewhipping me, and it got so unpleasant we decided to go away. We came here. Now, I'm going to Los Angeles, to get Into the real estate business, and Mrs. Phillips Is going with me." "Of course, I understand that this Is a hit unusual as marriages go, and I don't want to be thought a silly old woman," Mrs. Phillips said. "Rut we married for love and not for the reason Winston gave." "He has lectured in and around Kane county at farmers' clubs on such subjects as the fallacy and purine of the popular evolutionär theory. "lie Is a profound student of nature and draws away from the crowd. This Is the reason he is not popularly known. "He owns his own home and has for the last 12 years been a taxpayer. He Is, therefore, Interested In taxes and civic betterment. "He is a friend of labor, though not an enemy of capital. "He has excelled In every undertaking and believes he Is ahle to give Aurora a better government. "He Is at present conducting a barber shop while he continues to experiment with cats, dogs, pigeons, rats, mice, chickens and canaries." Apparently cities, as well ns republics, are ungrateful. diately, and keep still, otherwise death." Since that time the two sons, Armin and Henry J., have been under the eye of day and night guards. A watch also was placed on the Schlesinger? home. The day after the first missive was received Mrs. Schlesinger was called to the phone. A man's voice threat ened her for not paying the money and demanded that payment he made at once. Each day the letters appeared In the same handwriting and making the same demands. Then n letter came stating that the price had been raised to $50,000. .The money, in cash, was to be left In the store nt Eighteenth and Vilet streets. A box was prepared, filled with paper, and left at the store. Detectives on watch saw a man enter the place and ask for the package, lie was taken Into ' custody, but Insisted that it was his habit to call at the store freouentlv for packages. The store keeper corroborated his statement. After two days of third degree meth ods the suspect was released, but has been under surveillance. Ferdinand A.

You have on my ring. I naturally supposed " he faltered. " 'Had' on your ring, you mean.' she responded, registering around 5 below zero, and calmly returning the article In question. John Newcomer, a senior, enters and escorts Miss Nye to a waiting taxlcab. Women are not. mere chattels,' she flashed back to the bewildered youth. And Harold learned about women from her.
