WEEKLY COURIER DEN ED. DOANE, Publlaher JASPER - INDIANA Even brtlllant men can't shine in dull company. When Jazz hits the feet It goes straight to the head.

The black nheop of the family Is usually made the goat, A cynic Is n man who picks at tho mortar between the bricks other men have laid. With n house on every lot the profiteering landlords couldn't make a lot on every house. After all, the best way to keep tho weeds off the vacant lots Is to build homes on thern. It must be pleasant to be n Chinese statesman an 1 have nothing to do but view with alarm. One of the most Important phases to being entertaining Is knowing when to reach for your hat. The most puzzling thing about the free verse poets Is that nobody can prove which Is the worst. The reason some think age brings wisdom is because when a man grows old he doesn't talk so much. Can't the shoe dealers who are prescribing galoshes for this winter's wear decree that they be buttoned? Also when the divorce suit Is filed It Is strong circumstantial evidence that the honeymoon has ended. In this land of the Stars and Stripes there are men who should be made to tee the stars and feel the stripes. An optimist Is a man who believes that the time will come when liquor won't be first page news material. The shortage of cadavers reported by Toronto university will be one shortage which will attract no rush of help. Income tnxpaylng 1? not an ecstatic experience, but we fancy It must be hilariously Joyful compared with paying alimony. Our position simply Is that as long as there Is a public demand for pastry, any smart woman can earn pin money with a rolling pin. If the knlckerbocker girl survives she will settle once and for all the age-long question regarding the prop er length for a skirt. If It takes only a million years for n light ray to travel from one end of the universe to the other, where does It go after that? Incompatibility Is given as the cause of half the divorces In Switzer land. Income Inability is the chief trouble in the United States. Possibly the average home brewer would feel flattered If told that his product contained an illegal percentage of "kick," but it is doubtful If he would be convinced. Profiteering has Injured legitimate business and contributed much to tho so-called buyers' strike. Legitimate business would help Itself by helping the consumer to rout the profiteers. Gugllelmo Marconi thinks he has In tercepted radio signals from Mars. It Is to be hoped that Mars will not in slst on a reply until the affairs of this war-torn world are In better order. The latest fad of Parisian wome n Is a handkerchief n yard square. At last, papa can borrow an adequate one when his laundry doesn't come home! Quotations of the value of currency In a few foreign countries Indicate very little more than a slight margin of profit on the cost of manufacture. Heauty note The same ruby tint that Is artificially pasted on a girl's face can be put there naturally by a little service In the kitchen everv da v. The frequently reiterated statement that "Prosperity is jut ahead' ought to be an incentive for us to move on. I.ondn soeiety women are reported to be deserting the cigarette in favor of the Cuban cigar and the pipe. There still remains the Pittsburgh stogie. Diamonds bought during the period of high wages are fast getting back Into the market, but it isn't so e-isv to get rid of silk shirts and silk hosiery. Candy manufacturers want a "clear ing house" for their oods. How would a young ladie' seminary do? Now they say that a single woman can not live on less than $l.".r0 a week. Well, not If she is to have a fur coat, a limousine and a sulte at the best hotel. And now they are quoting St. Taut against bobbed hair, but the women decided long ago that so far as the feminist question Is concerned he Is a back number.

SIDELIGHTS

Now Sherman Says TYTASHINC.TON. What's the matter with Alaska? "Inadequate and costly transportation," Fays Dan A. Sutherland, the Alaska dele gate In congress. "Too much red tape," says the Interior department, which would take over the administrative functions of all other departments pertaining to Alaska. "Absentee government landlordism, divided departmental control, and hampered restrictions of development of natural resources," soys Representative Curry, chairman of the house committee on territories, who Is pressing for legislation to place all Alaska resources at the disposition of a resident development board!

For Federal Control of Coal Mining

COINCIDENTLY with the failure to reach an agreement for a miners wage scale to supplant the national agreement, which expires next March, two far-reaching bills concerning the coal industry were Introduced In the senate by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, chairman of the committee on education and labor, which has been Investigating conditions In West Virginia. The failure was announced after a four-hour discussion at the White House, at which were present the President, Secretaries Hoover and Davis and President Lewis and other officials of the United Mine Workers of America. One of the Kenyon measures Imposes heavy penalties for profiteering In coal. The other Is a revision of the original Calder bill, giving broad powers to the President, the federal trade commission, the geological survey and the interstate commerce commission. The Calder bill, as revised by Mr. Kenyon, provides that whenever the federal trade commission shall determine that an emergency exists "which seems likely to produce a shortage or bring about unusual, unwarranted or unreasonable coal prices and be detrimental to the public health," the President shall be empowered" to fix maximum coal prices and dealers' commissions and margins. Plans of National n v.r... X ' ' ' nil,. -i I . T vr.rv ..

The ultimate peace strength in 1024 of the National Guard, according to the plan, will be 450,000 men, organized Into IS Infantry divisions, distributed among the states. The complete designation of the National Guard Infantry divisions will be as follows : Division, State -'Massachusetts. J7 New York. 'JS I 'en n sy 1 van 1 a.

Attorney General Daugherty declares, discussing a new system he has evolved for handling federal prisoners. The plan caIN for the establishment of a new vocational training plant, where prisoners can be taught trader and "otherwise rebuilt" so they may become useful citizens after their terms expire. There are about .r.(0 young first-tenners In federa! prisons who would be eligible for transfer. The attorney general will ask congress to authorize him to take over one of the big cantonments and reconvert it into an educational Institution, with Industrial feature- somewhat abmg the lines of existing reform schools. "What many of these prisoners need more than anything else Is a chance to make good," said Mr. Daughcrty. "I maintain that citizenship can be made better by some system that will reconstruct these prisoners, restore their self-respect and equip them to face the world with some earning lower at the end of their terms. ! can walk Into ouy prison In the

Alaska's All Right President Harding and his cabinet have devoted several sessions to discussion of tlie Alaska problem. The hou?e committee has held extensive hearings on the Curry bill. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace dispatched K. A. Sherman, associate forester, to Alaska, early last summer to Investigate the alleged retrogression of the territory. Mr. Sherman has Just returned and submitted an elaborate report, declaring that Alaska Is suffering from nothing more than Its share of the world-wide hard times. All the Industries of the territory, he reports, are doing as well as If not better than the same Industries elsewhere. "In the face of such a showing." the Sherman report concludes, -one marvels more and more at the origin of this report that Alaska Is on the downward grade. I would like to know the true Inwardness of that Idea. The growth of our northland Is now a steady growth. In which the resident Alaskan, und not the promoter or Underwriter, Is being the chief beneficiary. That seems to ine to be mos desirable." The President also Is authorized under such circumstances to deal In coal and to control Its production and distribution. The President may go so far as to take over the operation of coal mines. The companion bill provides a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $10,000 for the first offense of a coal operator or dealer convicted of violation of the law, and for each succeeding offense a fine of not less than $1,000 and Imprisonment for not less than 00 days nor more than five years. In defining what shall be considered profiteering, the bill specifies margins of profit for coal operators and dealers ranging from 10 to 40 cents per ton, according to the amount of business done. Margins are provided not only for individual sales, but also In the case of aggregate sales covering a year's period.

Mr. Daugherty's psychology has been tested and found 100 per cent. He cited his experiences with prisoners In reform Institutions in Ohio and elsewhere. He has aided In the establishment and operation of some of these reform schools. He has watched the development of the Inmates into useful citizens. He has found them In later ears, law-abiding, honest with their fellow men, and In some Instances filling conspicuous ro'es as leaders In civic undertakings for community betterment.
