vaTVWTRS KEFORE OR AFTER?

Every day here, there aa elsewhere, as appears in i

the news, ouija board. lW" tappings, spirit rapping, ghostly materialisations ami ronimuuications are making: new victims of mem a! milady. Some merely suffer depression of mind evident in despondency or hyoochrondla. Some commit suicide this being really the shorteat route to discovery of the mooted domain of spirits. Some are carted to asylumus. Some devote more and more of their time to spirits by the medium of ouijas. . or other mediums which are more expensive, and lose friends and livelihood. All this would be sad if it were not amusing or would be amusing if it were not sad. It is fair to demand of our many professional and adept psychologists whether in their refined diagnosis thi6 lack of mental balance, this mild or extreme dementia, is a result of cuijas and other machinery of spookerie or whether the uncontrollable desire and detarminaticn to plunge into the mystical and inexplicable were cot. certain indication of mental totter.

FOCH'S WAR SPEECH. Marshal Foch is entitled to hold a better opinion of the work he performed as generalissimo of the allied armies than is evidenced by his constant parading of fears that Germany -watt soon rise up and undo all that ha and his associates accomplished. Giving due weight to the historical facts which the Marshal of France WU forth to prove that makiog of war is Germany's national industry, "and might is right." we cannot see where. France has anything to fear from the Huns unless there be suspicion also cf powers which have pledged their honor to support justice and moral right. That the chief concern of France must be preparedness for war, as he told the Polytechnic School for Army Engineer, is absurd unless France herself elects to be a warmaker. Germany will in time recover from some of her wounda. She will regain economic strength. She may experience a revival of something of her old-time ariogant spirit. But that she will ever have military might that will lead her to attempt a test of arms with oners ia no believed by any who have faith in the countries that were so recently united in opposition to her and are pledged to stand tcgether for peace. If the allies canot work harmoniously, if they have no confidence in one another there are grounds for the French militarists' misgivings that the present peace will prove but ephemeral.

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING. The latest offering of United States treasure certificates of indebtedness was oversubscribed 2 j per cent surprising government officials and evidencing to the financial world generally -that, while there has ieen de

preciation of quoted prices for Liberty bonds, there has been no diminution of the esteem in which such securities are held. United States government bonds, today as yesterday, are the soundest investment in the world. No astute financier is neede.d to reveal the opportunity is knocking for every man with ready cash when government bonds paying mere than four per cent interest on face value are sold In the market at 82 per cent of par. Some of the Issues, if purchased at prevailing prices and held to maturity, would show an annual yield of more than six per cent. Prices of Liberty loan issues are a great inducement to t?-ift. With fresh evidence that we shall hare lower prices within the near future, the average man has further incentive to save, whether he puts his money in government bonds or in a savings bank. The dollar sr.ent today buys little. The dollar saved today and spent tomorrow, when pri'ces may be lower, buys more. THE TRUTH. Men who complain that they "have no chance in this day when the plutocrats grab everything m sight" are respectfully commended to a study of the careers of Messrs Harding and Coclidge. If thees (wo men on reaching manhood had quietly set'led back in whining helplessness and the idler's notion that they had no chance, it is- safe to say that they would not stand where they stand today, says the Fort Wayne News. Roih were born to poverty and hard work and both roi-e to their present eminence by painstaking iersisteni1 and their devotion to that good, old American doctrine of ' gut there Eli." Neither had any wonderful opportunity thrust upon him but each took care to make opportunity and both succeeded admirably. To he sure, not every American can become president but any American who is willing to work, and to live honestly and decently, has the chance, and failing in this he at least has the assurance of honorable success. The man who "never had a chance" never ?ou;ht one or WHAT ABOUT THESE CARNIVALS T For one solid month now there has been an epidemic of carnivals in this vicinity. More are coming. They are all taking money out of the town and that i:- not the worst thing that can be said about them. The Souh Fiend Tribune says: "South Hend has broken out in a rash of carnivals. Somebody ought to tell our honorable maycr that modern cities got over the carnival disease about. 10 years ago and are now immune. He should decline to permit, any more. At is best a carnival is a low entertainment.. It lacks the justification of the circus which, at its best, tcee day6. is a well managed, clean and safe entertainment exceedingly atractive to men. women and children. The carnivals which are succeeding one another in the southwestern part cf the city are an unjust affliction upon the residents. They would not be permitted to pitch their tents and concession stands in e-ome other sections. You cannot imaeine a carnival in Navarre place or Chapin park. The carnivals ought to be compelled to cross South lten-.l off their routes. The money that they take from the people is badly needed for legitimate purposes. Many of our worthy foreign born citizens in their ignorance of four language and customs are victimized at these carnivals and for their protection, if for no other reason, they should be barred. POLAND SEEMS to assume that the quickest way to establish herself as an important power is to pack a punch in each fist and use them.

NOW GERMANY wants to delay parleys at Spa. Time means nothing to them cow, they have been waiting so long for "der tag."

The telephone number of a big business house is 7000. A residence subscriber whose number was 6000 requested us to change his number. He complained

that he was called a score of times a day by people wanting the business house. The explanation is that many people guessed at the number, and guessed wrong, asking the operator for 6000 instead of 7000. It is easy to be wrong when you guess, and unfortunately the person called in error generally blames the service. Next to guessing as a fruitful source of unsatisfactory telephone service is placing of undue faith in the correctness of the number on an old card, letterhead or list tacked to the wall. Use instead the Ready Reference Register on the inside front cover of the directory. But better still, in a big telephone system where numbers are constantly changing, one should always make sure of the correct prefix and number by consulting the telephone directory before calling. It is the quickest and surest way to get the right number. ' . CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY

As rapidly as possible the officials of the Association are tabulating the replies and suggestions received and these will be subjected to the care ful scrutiny of a competent Board of fifteen of the most representative and experienced highway engineers and other authorities cf the T'nited plates The personnel of this Board will be announced soon by the Association. It is clearly apparent that the majority of the engineers who have made suggestions feel that a right-of-way wider than those new being provided is desirable if the future increase of highway transportation is to be anticipated and provided for.
