The mnn who dlel after drinking metal polish had a brilliant finish. A hucket.shop is a place that gathers In money from easy marks by the pailful. The main trouble with n bad habit ! Its trick of strengthening ns the victim weakens. It would help n little for those around them If volcanoes would dump their nshes oftener. An ndvnntngo of listening to sermons by radiophone Is In the chance to sleep unobserved.. What n pity that the Pntagonlan pleistocene critter Is a glyptodon inBteud of a pleslosaurus ! Ono trouble about compiling costs for t lie? average family's food Is tint few families are average. A real scientist is one who can discover the secret of the transmutation of a deficit Into n surplus. It Is only after they have worked rain that "preventable tires" are discovered to have been that kind. It Is tragic when the ambitious young angleworm seeking a Job as bait Is devoured by a hungry robin. Another reason why a boy Is a boy Is, he will drown a cat for nothing and you can't pay him to kill a dog. There seem to bo a lot of nature lovers nnd outdoor enthusiasts in the Jail. They are always trylnK to get out. A school man has called Jazz as bad ns booze, but from th sound and appearance it is largely a result of the latter. A scientist Is working out a theory he has to postpone old age. Most everybody hopes the idea will not die young. And. furthermore, there are a good many old grouches who regard smoking by coeds as a mere waste of tobacco, anyhow. Usln;; Iiis betl:pring as an aerial, a man 'as nbh to hear a Sunday sermon by radio. This probably settles Insomnia. The man who has money and gives It to hir? wife lias nine chances In ten, at least, of escaping being bitten by the mining swindle bug. Don't go to a phrenologist to have your fortune told. The only bumps that mean anything are the ones you get from experience. Many a marriage is wrecked because of atrocious color combinations In fitting out the home, says an artist. Love Is blind, but be Is talking about marriage. New York statistics show that the hour before closing is the heaviest shopping hour. Another proof of the prevalence of procrastination, or what? Those pessimists who in October foretold a bitter winter doubtless sold a lot of fur coats on the strength of the prophecy. It may be all rigid to take one's college course by radio, but it would be difficult to conduct a good class rush in that manner. Whatever the Princess Fatlma may think "f America she cannot com plain that her visit has suffered for lack of publicity. i:n-lish l is approximately 500,000 words. A person must go some in order to pronounce them all between youth and old : go. A movement to reform the modern dance has hern launched In Paris. It's hard to tell where the movement will wind up, but it has started in the light place. Cowardice, treachery, greed nnd selfishness all .day their part In the public life of the nation, but all to gether are not the menace that Ig norance is. Ashes coming out of the volcano In Salvador are the ones, probably, that had been plied up over in a corner during the winter. A way has been found to eradicate the chrysanthemum midge, which should save thousands of dollars dur ins the football season. Saying that bobbl hair nmt c" at oiice is one thingbut making tt grow long again over night is another. Would the reformers have the girl? get false hair?

Placing the danger signals on roads which parallel steam or electric railroads, but do not cross the tracks is not required by the state law, according to an opinion submitted to Lawrence Lyons, director of the state highway department.

lütll'inn Tn!irrii!i! nssnrifitlnn nnii Ithe Marion County Tuberculosis ossoclatlon to have persons afflicted with tuberculosis "get well In Indiana Is meeting "1th fcome degree of success, according to reports received by the association. The custom of patients to make trips to the west und southwest in search of cures for tu! er culosls is discouraged, since the una visited in Colorado, New Mexico, Arintidothcr western states is tinable to care for the great numbers who go there. The associations dealing with the disease assert that by observing proper Instructions at home where there are comforts not to he obtained away from home, tuberculosis yields to treatment more readily oftentimes than In the reputed Mcure" areas. Seymour. Karty fruit trees In Jackson county are In full bloom nnd give promise of heavy crops. Cherry, plum, pear and peach trees are In unusually heavy blossom and the trees would not be able to support the fruit if all of the blooms matured. Orchard men say It Is yet too early to make any accurate forecast as to the probable crop, but they assert that the Indications are the best for many years. The blooms on many trees were killed last spring by a late freeze and ns the trees have not borne fruit for two years it Is thought that they are in a healthy condition this year to bear heavily. Indianapolis. The state board of health condemned 20 school duilldlngs In various parts of the state as insanitary and unfit for school purposes. The action of the board was based on recommendations made by Dr. W. l King, assistant state health commissioner, and II. U. Condrey, Inspector.

Uncle Sam May Join Mf I'LL err what o NOV TX7ASIIINGTON. The United Y States may yet be represented upon the Interallied reparations commission, despite President Harding's decision to refrain from asking congress formally for authority for such participation. This view has been conveyed to congress in an Informal manner, but owing to the peculiar political situation the President has determined that it would not be becoming of the executive to ask for such authorization. To suggestions coming from congress that the initiative In the matter should be taken by the executive and not by congress. State department officials replied that the basis for the executive's reluctance to take the initiative is the reservations "agreement" incurAmerica's Need of ACTUAL naval strength of the " United States in case of war would be greatly inferior to that of Great Britain, notwithstanding the American and British navies are placed on a practically equal basis by the naval treaty agreement, declared Senntor Bansdell of Louisiana In n speech. Speaking on the naval disarmament treaty and the legislation designed to extend government aid to American shipping. Senator Ilansdell, who is president of the National Merchant Marine association, pointed out that a navy, without adequate support from fits national trade fleet, is practically powerless. "There is only one way for naval equality to be realized," he said, "and that is for America to make material additions to its commercial fleet. Swift vessels of commerce, carrying both freight and passengers, having a speed In excess of 15 to 20 knots preferably 20 knots and over and from 10,000 to 15,000 tons are most effective as auxiliaries.' to the navy in time of war." How Great Britain stands in relation to the United States on the basis of such ships is shown In the following table, adapted from figures presented by Senator Itansdell, giving the Irrigation Threatens TRBIGATIOX threatens Glacier Natlonal park. Recommendations made by the international joint commission to the governments of the United -States and Canada urge that Lower St. Mary lake, in the Blackfeet Indian reservation, Montana, be converted Into an irrigation reservoir which will push ten miles back into the national park territory adjoining on the west, and turn the upper and lower lakes Into one reservoir. If this U done, the level of beautiful St. Mary lake, wholly within the national park, will be raised more than forty feet. Under the treaty of 1900, Canada will have a prior right to three-quarters of these national park waters ; the other quarter will go to Montana. Therefore, Protect INSECTS are cost the people of the United States $1,100.000.000 a year through their inroads on fruits, grain and vegetables. The ultimate consumer In the end pays for the crops these Insects destroy, through higher prices. With $1,1C0.000.000 every year the government could Foot the bill of 5.0 disarmament conferences like the one held in Washington last year. Pay half the total cost of federal government operation. Run an army three times the present size. Pay all current naval bills twice and bve money left over. litre's the official list of these marauders and the annual board bill of each: Grasshoppers, SrO.OOO.OOO ; chinch bugs, $Xuoo,000; Hessian flies.

Reparation Board

porated In the senate resolution of October IS. 1021, by which the senate ratified the separate treaty between the United States and Germany. This reservation, which was later Included in the President's proclamation, provided "that the United States shall not be represented or participate In any body, agency or commission, nor shall any person represent the United States as a member of any body, agency or commission in which the United States Is authorized to participate by this treaty unless nnd until an act of the congress of the United States shall provide for such representation or participation." Thus the administration holds that under the specific language of the senate's ratification resolution the initiative is clearly left with congress and. It is argued, suggestions from senators or congressmen that the President should go ahead and name a representative and transmit the name to the senate for ratification are clearly beside the point. Senator Underwood recently declared In the senate that the only way for the United States to get any part of the German reparation payments was to get representation on the allied reparation commission. Big Merchant Ships 77 Y0U'ft WORTHLESS j without rig number and tonnage of vessels of 10,000 gross tons and over, and having speeds of 12 to Ü0 knots and over: America Number, 44 ; tonnage, HS4.247. Britain 14G; tonnage, 1,870,147. "In other words," Mr. Itansdell said, "Great Britain has about three times as many ships capable of being used as hlgh-.grade naval auxiliaries as the United States lias." He pointed out that if our commercial marine Is to remain at Its present level, so far as these fast ships are concerned, then Great Britain, with her large fleet of potential naval auxiliaries, would, beyond question, continue as she is today, very much more powerful on the seas, even though our naval vessels our fighting ships are considered on terms of actual parity. the Glacier Park St. Mary lake, the upper of the two, all of it in Glacier National park, is one of the most strikingly beautiful waters on the American continent. There are many who assign it first place. An English traveler who had explored the Himalayas and the Andes recently stated that, among the lakes o greatest beauty in the world, it Is by far the supreme example of its scenic kind. It lies east and west between mountains of quite extraordinary form and coloring, including such world celebrities as Red Kagle, Little Chief and Going-to-the-Sun mountains, and heads up toward the glacier-splashed Continental divide at a point of sensational magnificence. The proposed reservoir will cover the forested shores from which these famous mountains rise and will submerge several miles of fine forest at the head of the lake through which the glacier-run St. Mary river winds into the lake. When the Irrigation water is drawn low in August, the worldfamous view from the St. Mary chalets, which thousands go there to see every summer, will be slashed across the lower middle by mucky mud-Hats. Insectivorous Birds The total eaten by these pests amounts roundly to one-tenth of the total farm produce of the United States. But pests destroy 30 'per cent of all the fruits grown every year and 20 per cent of the vegetables. The chinch bug, with the biggest appetite of all, mounting to $00,0o0,000 a year, affects Ohio, Indiana, southern Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Sometimes it Invades the southeastern coast states. Grasshoppers, with a $50,0X).00) appetite, are more or less common throughout the whole United States. The boll weevil, which feeds on the cotton plant, confines Its activities to the cotton-growing states of the South. Other cotton pests br'n? the total annual destruction 1 ill up to $110.031.100.
