EVERYBODY OUT OF TOWN."

SETS out to be naughty Rl'T when you run across a flfty-year-i.ld woman of some standing In the c. immunity Willi acta as though she wanted to be a white slave the first chance she got WE fed like leaning over THE deck . rail. IT is a question with us whether it is

iSTTER to be capable of almost NOTHING or CAPABLE of almost anything. NOV." that the cooler days are com

ing THE girls are beginning to leave off THEIR fur collars AND exposing more and mora wishbone every day. OVER fifty-one million pounds of

ichicken have been put in cold storage

this summer THIS probably explains why the w.ff has found it impossible to serve it more than ONCE a month.

ANOTHER question that we shall Knve to go away on our quadrennial acation WITHOUT settling IS why a woman with a frame about as plump as a clothes-horse . ALWAYS wears the lowest decolletaae.? THAT man mho stopped a runaway roller coaster by shoving his leg between the vehicle and the runway was a brave man , Bl.'T his leg will never look the same. WE could stand almo.t anything in this region EXCEPT a visit from Yellow Bill Thompson of Chicago. IN our quietly observant fashion we have noticed that the

j BALD-HEADED man has a brilliant

complexion j EVEN if it does begin "at the wrong j place. I

This is the time of year when the remark is frequently heard that "Everybody's out of town." Anybody with eyes ran pee that in isn't true. But people who perpetuate proverbs, phrases and traditions never let anything like an obvious fact interfere with their pronouncements. It is the tradition that during the hot weather cities are depopulated, and that settles it. Anyone repeating this absurd statement may possibly be led to admit that only "the best people" are out of town for the summer. And that is even more absurd. Of course, "opinions differ as to who a town's "best people'' are. But can the assumption stand that they are the very few who have so little to do with a city's activities that they can pack up and leave whenever fashion dictates or the weather doesn't suit them? With rare exceptions, it may be laid down that the "best people" of any community are the people who stay right on the spot the year round and do their day's work and hear the community's burdens. - And when business and public affairs are going along just as briskly as usual, and the streets and hotels are crowded, and only a few fashionable idlers, perhaps, are missing, it would be infinitely nearer the truth to say, "Everybody's in town."

a MASON IN ERUPTION. Billy Mason cf Illinois, always a blatherskite, declared in an address before a more or less treasonable gathering in Chicago the other day that the only people in this country who welcomed the- war were the backers and editors. If this is true, the attitude of these men does infinite credit to ttheir patriotism, for certainly it is one which cannot be explained on any sordid ground. Rather is the contrary true, for no men had more reason to object to the war from a business standpoint than the bankers and editors. Both have been heavily penalized financially and neither has profited. The bankers have lost business and seen deposits decline, or at least fail to increase, whereas the editors have been put to a tremendously added expense without a compensatory gain in revenues. If, therefore,, they welcomed the war they did eo because they realized it to bean inevitable and unescapable 'eventuality whose horrors would be minimized by our earliest possible participation in it. But no one in all this country welcomed in the war in the fashion that this foully unspeakable Mason intimates some did for gain. As the base slanderer of his betters this porcine perpetration on American public life should be scourged naked through the streets of that great city whose very air his obscene presence so disgustingly pollutes. Fort Wayne News.

WE are no in favor of having congress taxing excessive war profits. What we are in favor of is no excessive war profits at all.

SCHOOL boards might show their patriotism by using the money that is devoted to teaching German to instruct pupils in wider Americanism. Why the language of barbarism, anyhow?

THEY may give In December, they may decide to mate in April, and they may wed in June, but they never propose and accept during hay fever season.

BRIGHT WITS IN CRIME. Automobile stealing, it apepars, has been advanced to a place among the polite professions in the world of crime. Merely to step into another man's car and drive away with it, taking all the chances, is now become an anachronism and a crudeness. It is no longer done in the best grand larceny circles. The genteel purloiner now sizes up skillfully the vehicle he wants, as to its cylinders, horse power and other points of technical interest, files his ownership papers, takes out his license and, if stopped by the police, produces indignation and the official documents, says the New York World. It has long been a matter of nore that the safe robber of highest degree and the counterfeiter of fullest accomplishment bring to their purposes talents which would serve them in legitimate application exceptionally well. Ranking below these operators in genius, the new motor car thief displays yet an acumen and a smoothness in business execution which should make him as a straight man of affairs generally valuable. All these performers, refusing to work honestly for sure and sufficient compensation, work much harder fr the uncertain returns and ever-present perils of crookedness. They make manifest a curious paradox of crime. They are not explained wholly by theories of a stunted spirk of adventure and a highly temperamental love for the risks of the game. Perhaps the law, to meet them effectively, should hold them to punitive account in measures proportioned less to arbitrary degrees of crime than to proved wastes of natural gifts.

MAYBE it is a good thing after all that German was taught In our schools. When the conquering American army enters Berlin the natives will be able to understand the orders they'll get.

AMERICAN INGENUITY AT AETNA. The German spy system in this country may have done a good job of it when fire, produced by an explosion, wiped out the guncotton factory at Aetna. But American enterprise has gone the Germans one better and the munitions plant is scheduled to open one month and six days after its destruction. For quick work, the feat is a marvel, and all the days of time saved means just eo many American soldiers' lives saved. They are doing good work on the front, but Supt. Martin and his man, track of the lines and sustaining a part of the front lines, are also doing their bit.
