Many dwellers on Easy itrevt have rough houses. Euro;? has Invn mluet to n pulp, and lh; pulp to pu jxr money. Devotion of father and son makes for both a place In the tun. If It in a Ket-rlch-qulek proposition, he who hesitates doesn't lose. Some wise heads assert that the tst way to censor Jazz I to get an ax. Don't he intolerant. Liüten to the man who disagrees with you. lie may he right. According to European, America's role In world reconstruction Is a hank roll. Kind words, though effective In many ways, never thawed out a frozen water pipe. How can mere men tell what a flapper Is, when she doesn't pretend to know herself? Coal Is reported to he down and one look nt the hin convinces the consumer that It Is. America might assist in discouraging war by hereafter keeping her military inventions to herself. . Canada has an area of 3,729,1)09 Fquare miles and some miles along the edges that are not square. The only people who seem to be unaware that sugar Is down to the pre-war price are the candy makers. It Is very seldom that you meet a man or woman who feels embarrassed because of his or her small feet. There might be more feminists except for the fact that most men hate to get their own breakfasts. There Is no particular need to differentiate "drug" murders and "hooch" murders. Both are drug effects. Paris reports that few costly umbrellas lost in that city are claimed. The French capital has nothing on us. A wet wave will sweep the world, a scientist declares, but It will only be water, and will not happen for 300 years. Poison gas is to be used against forest fires, rats and insect pests. This kind of warfare is worth while, and the entire human race will get the bonus. King Doris of Bulgaria complains that his royal elephants eat too much hay. Why doesn't he feed them on royal Bulgarian buttermilk, which tones up the system and add? to longevity? Somebody ought to figure tip how much time and money Is wasted in this country preparing, mailing, opening and chucking Into the wastebasket the flood of propaganda that Is engulfing us. Newspapers are wonderful things, but It may be observed that no journalist is well enough informed to be able to tell what ever became of the war between the Greeks and Mustapha Kemal. Duke d'Acosta, cousin of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, protests against the Hungarian crown being wished on him, which goes to show that the king business Is not as popular as it was before the war. Lord Northcliffe discovers that in Cambodia women's costumes have remained unchanged In style for a thousand years. You wouldn't believe Cambodia was a French possession, would you? When Professor Davis of the University of Michigan declared that there has been no moral slump in the United States he laid himself open to some rough handling at the hands of the professional reformers. New York pays extra for white eggs. Posten pays extra for brown eggs. And the proper place for a chicken farm is on the main traveled road half way between New York and Boston. The champion athlete stars but a few brief years; the plowman in the calm and quiet of his smiling acres can command the attention of the angels for half a century. Sweden, like the United States, seems t thlr.k that it is not necessary to recognize the Russian communist government in order to help the Itussian people. Thirty Mexicans have started a revolt and sir.ee about 'J9 must be generals the rest of the "army" probably will retreat. It is now exacted that Yap will be restored to a place in public attention more proportionate to its actual size und population. A prominent educator complains that millions are being spent to educate defectives, but nothing for geniuses. Well If a genius needs any education he doesn't need any help.

MnOJHAL OPim AFFAIRS

Women Oppose Equal TX7ASHIXGTOX. Objection to any v equal rights amendment to the federal Constitution, and to the blanket bill adopted by the Wisconsin legislature and pending in nine state legislatures now In session, was unanimously expressed by women labor leaders called into conference by the legislative committee of the Xational Woman's Trade Union league. The delegates were all trade unionists from various parts of the country and collectively represented about 000,000 organized working women. Mrs. Raymond liobins of Chicago, president of the league, said that danger to special laws protecting women In industry lurked In any blanket measure such as the constitutional amendment now under consideration by the National Woman's party, the tentative draft of which forbids "political, civil or legal disabilities on account of sex or on account of marriage unless applying to both sexes." The most dangerous feature of the blanket bill proposed for action by all state legislatures is believed by the woman trade unionists to lie in the provision giving women freedom of contract, which threatened to deprive Bonus Bill to Be "D KPUBLICAN leaders In congress have decided to force a bonus bill through despite the fact that any form of bill which can be passed cannot meet the approval of President Harding unless he should alter his attitude. The sales tax as a means of raising revenue has been abandoned. The President said that was the only available means of revenue to justify the soldiers' compensation bill at this time. Therefore a hill that does not contain a sales tax might encounter a presidential veto. Realizing this, the Republican leaders are going ahead and have determined to take chances, believing It could survive a presidential veto. A prominent member of the ways and means committee said that there are not sixty members of the house 'The Abigail Adams EVERY now and then an allusion to the "Abigail Adams clothesline story" gets into print. Doubtless there are many who do not know the story. They should. It's a classic and it's especially timely, now that "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who was first elected In 1S70, has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. It's a good sample of the kind of parliamentary tactics that made Uncle Joe a power in his day. Here It Is, In brief: It was back In the early years of this century, while Uncle Joe was Republican floor leader and before he became 'speaker. Following a remodeling of the White House there was an auction sale of old furniture, including a sideboard. Thereupon a newspaper announced with great gusto that the sideboard had been presented to Mrs. Hayes by the young ladies of Cincinnati to show their appreciation of her application cf rigid "temperance" principles and declared that onl3' Iconoclastic Imperialism would dare to sell so priceless an historical relic. Whereupon a Democratic member drew up a resolution of many whereases, demanding an Investigation of the heinous transaction. Introducing It, he spoke at great length and with "Upward Swing of BUSINESS throughout the country, progressing through well-defined circles, is nearing the point of the upward swing of the economic pendulum, according to the annual report of the federal reserve hoard transmitted to congress. 'There are those," the report said, "who believe that the beginning of revival is not far distant. When it does definitely set, in it will be followed In due course by a new era of prosperity." Business, In one of Its "long swings" from prosperity, the report said, has followed Its usual rotation, which It described as business activity

women of the protection afforded by collective bargaining. The provision specifically exempting from the operation of the act laws regulating the employment of women in Industry is declared by Mrs. Uobins and Mrs. Mary Anderson of Chicago to be no protection at all. since In their view it is in direct contradiction to the freedom of contract provisions. They agree that women are the vietims In many states of unfair laws, but want these repealed severally and specifically. The delegate; will prepare a formal statement of their position, which is supported by the Xational League of Women Voters. Pushed in Congress nor twenty members of the senate who are opposed to a soldiers' bonus. He said further that a majority of the Republican members had come to the conclusion that a bonus bill would not put the party in jeopardy at the forthcoming election. These leaders are now leaning to a bill which will provide for revenue from interest payments on the foreign debt, no matter what may be recommended by the ways and means committee. The committee, however, is also leaning to this source of revenue, and It is predicted that such a bill would pass J he house by an overwhelming majority. When such a measure goes to the senate that body may amend it by providing an issuance of bonds or debt certificates of some kind. Both these measures would be diametrically opposed to the recommendations of the President. , Whichever measure is then preferred by the majorities in the two houses, it is predicted, could be passed over a veto, should there be one. Whatever might be the political effect of such a course. Republican leaders declare, would not be so serious as would the defeat of the bonus bill altogether, or the passage of that bill with a sales tax attached. Clothesline Story" hMR. SPEAKER, Mf ERE 15 THAT pAV-" much vehemence. Really the Republicans didn't know just what to do about It. It was "peanut politics, but the situation was annoying. Then up rose the member from Danville, Illinois. With the coat sleeve on his right arm drawn up to show several Inches of white and the Index finger of his left hand describing parabolic curves, Uncle Joe got recognition. With his very best poker face on he cried: "Mr. Speaker, we are told the early days of this republic Adams hung out her laundry in the East Room of the that In Abigail to dry White House. Great Heavens, Mr. Speaker, where is that clothesline now?" It is a Washington tradition that the uproarious yell of laughter that followed has never had its equal In the house of representatives. Economic Pendulum" and increased production : excessive expansion and speculation, followed hitherto by panic and forced liquidation; a long period of slow liquidation: business depression and stagnation, and then revival. "In the light of recent experience," the report warned, "we should remember, when we again enter into a period of full prosperity, that a reaction will follow, sooner or later, and if the How of the incoming tide can be controlled so that the crest may not be reached too rapidly, nor rise too high, the subsequent reaction will be less severe and the next period of Industrial and commercial activity and general prosperity will be marked by saner methods, greater achievements along constructive lines, and by a longer duration than any which we have had before." The board confined Its report to an account of the operations of the on Ionization for the year 1921, without offering any suggestions for legislation affecting the board In the federal reserve system.
