No clpar-shnjted blimp will ever ro ns high as cigars have. Uootleppinp; bids fair to Ins out as the leading American came of chance. National debts nns what we pet out of wur as long as we don't set out of war. Old ToMcateietl probably Is cleaning out Its winter accumulation of ashes. Mnybe China invented gunpowder, but It has nn alibi in the case of poison pas. I loot logge re throw still more discredit upon the ancient game of getting rich quick. If nations would use a little more meditation there would be less need for meditation. The ex-crown prince is planning to return, and Germany already has troubles enough. Fx-KIng Manuel of Portugal views with interest the troubles of Portuguese democracy. It cannot cost much to elect a president In Switzerland, or they could not have a new one every year. Japan's new recent has qualified for a position in tbe leadership of th world. lie has taken up golf. Some people are all right as long as they stay in the rut, but when they try to get out of it they skid. If diplomats could adjust "problems" half so easily as the correspondents, life would 1m? just bulging with joy. Footprints on the sands of time is right, but footprints on the fresh fall of snow go rather hard with a rabbit. One way to relieve the jam in the patent oMke would be to invent something that would increase efficiency there. It seems that the only way the curative properties of radium can be determined is by a referendum of th doctors. Is the French actor who has started a crn-ado against the "theater cough" about tc advertise a now brand of lozenge? The world is acting as if it had gumboils and totisilitK instead of as If it had a crop t make and .a "soul to save. A Fostoii jurist wants tin word "gent" eliminated from out language. Still, there are men no other appellation will lit. A historian says that women ruled the world l.fH) years before the birth of Christ. They also have ruled it 1,021 years since. A difficulty Is likely t arise from a moratorium, from the instinctive i!e-' sire of a debtor to make it a permanent arrangement. The Nobel pea-e prize went to citizens of countries which were not in the war, an award which seems to be in keeping with the spirit of the times. A judge lias issued Jin Injunction against a man to keep him from "killing his wife." More and more the courts are taking away the liberties of the people. It is not true that young girls are called flappers because they wear their galoshes unbuckled at the top. The name came first. What is the mind cure, asks one writer. Maybe it is this: When you get thoroughly sick of being sick you get well. Defiance puts the enemy to Highr. Try it, anyway. Frank W. Vanderlip says that the Fnited States should give its Kuropcais debtors plenty if time to pay, and It would aprear that the Tinted States can't d otherwise. I.cnin. Trotzky and their associate dictators in soviet Uuoi.i assert that they are reu.olcling that country on the western pattern. In that ease they will (!

Marria-e is one way of beating the new school attendance law that requires boys and girls to attend school until they are sixteen years old.

H :i:r.MT HOOVER., now eretary of conunorce, j;:ay head an international commission to dis arm Tidiia. China now has the largest Maiidinj: army or unnin of armies in any nation In the world. Tin exact number of troops is not known even to the minister of war in IV-klnz. but I lr ls 'Imatod to be between l.r.oO.O(M) and 'J.oo.'MiOO. These troops an' under various "tuchums," or provincial military governors, who ither are onJy nominally under rekimj or else are In open defiance of the Chinese government. The "tuchuas" levy and collect taxes, force direct contributions from the Inhabitants, obtain loans front local bankers virtually at the point of a jrun, print and circulate paper money of their own niakini:, jrraft and "squeeze' and ware wars as independent war lords while I'ekln looks on in utter !:eiplessn ss. Members of the Chinese delegation here admit little can be done toward ....... tlUff. (.hill;! hllcfc .Oll her fd t Until these "paper timers" are destroyed. The most powerful itmon tlie "tuchuns" do not hesitate to wrin funds from the Peking pvennaeut, when there is any money to wrin.ir, and openly dictate 'it the resident and his cabinet.

Be a News Center when allowance is made for a bead, and .Vm newspaper columns in these days of eight-column newspapers would mean a total of iYl pages, about the size of the Sunday edition of a typical metropolitan newspaper. No longer ago than 101- Washington was a sleepy, country village, somewhat overgrown and spread over a considerable territory. Now it is not only a real city, live and hustling, but a capital comparing favorably with the great capitals of Furope. .lust how the oOO.oot) words are divided cadi day among the news services, orre;ondents and leased wires is of interest. The Washington correspondents total is roughly about r.O.om words a day by wire; the press associations send another ."O.tXM), for there are l;ve of theso organizations, carrying 5.nh) to lö.ooO words cad;. The ÖO leaded win servic es undoubtedly send more than K.hI.ihmi words daily, making a total of L'eM.OoO words telegraphed from Washington daily. Mail service is probably equally heavy, and writers for magazines and other periodicals who do not deal in live news probably carry some joo.Om words daily. China cannot demobilize the armies of the "tuchuns" alone, so it has been advanced in conference circles that the Pacific powers, including Cliina. should pet together In the matter. It is proposed that a disarmament commission be named and that the sum of .5Ö0.0CM i.ooo be '"leaned to China as a demobilization fund. Secretary of Commerce Hoover is mentioned as chairman of this commission. Representatives of the commission would work with the Chinese government and aid in the work of disarming . the, "tuchun' armies. Soldiers would ho demobilized, piven hack pay they are in most cases many months in arrears and a small bonus and s'iit back to their home provinces. There they would be put to work on much-needed public works highways, railroads, canal widening and the like. Blocs in Congress ently are more dangerous to the c-oun-try tlian combination in restraint of lrae." "If we are to liavc ;ui tricuUiir;'! lle: wliy not a manufacturers" lloc, u coiiM:n:crs' bloc, and numerous j,to raThicMl hloes?" Mr. Ansore asked. "Tln legislation will not follow platform pledges, but will be the result (tf dickering and combinations between various blocs. It will be a case of 'you vote for this and we'll vote for that,' and I shudder to think what will happen to our representative form of democracy." On the other hand. Senator Capper said the other day in the senate, anions other things: "Here, Mr. PrcMdent, is the true reason why we have a croup of men in congress sometimes called the fe.rn. hioc. Our entire business structure rests upon the land. The fanner not only feeds us and cbtthrs us, but is as a class our best customer. Without him tin? ralJroads would languish, the steel industry perish. Unless the farmer and the farm industry prosper, no other industry can. This is the task these representatives and senators from he agricultural states feel they have cut out for them."
