switchman lenged for nothing bo much as to go Into the country In an auto with a pretty girl and fish and loaf; another student would like to have a congenial Job and also leisure for healthful outdoor sports, while a salesman declared his Idea of a good time was to sit down and drink half a dozen steins of good beer. Further information is lacking. It is pretty safe to conclude, though, that the desires of these people were centered on things they are least able to have. It is the way with people. Except for the last of them, all can eventually realize their dreams If they work for them and the last need not be disappointed if he manages to Journey far enough. There Is one moral. Another is that human desires are as a rule not so reprehensible that it Is worth while bothering about restrictions, since nature takes care to supply them more than abundantly.
THE TAX DODGERS. While there must be constant vigilance against the extravagance In the use of public money that adds to the tax burden. It should be kept In mind that one of the reasons tor increase is that some evade payment of their share The tax dodger has not received the attenticn he should The statement from Washington that the dodgers are getting away with more than a billion dollars every year that ought to go- into the United States treasury should set the country to thinking on this phase In addition there is the tax dedging In states and communities. What is not collected from one person naturally has to bo made up by collection from others. It Is time that governments devised some other system for dealing with the tax dodgers than that of laying their burden upon the good citizens; of passing up the unwilling and urging still more from the willing.
IDEAS OF A GOOD TIME. It takes all kinds of people to make the world," so perhaps we would do well to cease being peeved because a very small fraction of the .population wants to regulate the conduct of the whole people. The "blue" ones no doubt are necessary to the complete enjoyment of those who are some other cdor or a combination of all the colors. At any rate, the world would be a trine off "true" if they did not exist. In order that there be the greatest amount of satisfaction fcf the greatest number of human beings all must reasonably respect the predilections of their fellows, however opposed they are to one's own preferences, so long as Indulgence does net Interfere with the equal rights of others to enjoy what they choose in their own way. Judging from the conspicuous manifestations of popular choice in amusements or recreations, it appears that the people run much to fads. When dancing has the call everyDody dances, or seems to. At another time one might be excused for concluding that cards claimed the time of all pople In their moments of leisure. Again the fad Is for something else. Actually, though, there is a great diversity of preference In the matter of having a good time. That Is what saves the world from being unbearably dullIf you don't believe there are aa many fads as there are kinds of people, look around you and Inquire. A Chicago reporter did this the ether day. He asked five different persons he met in the street "what is your Idea of a good time?" He got five different answers. A "home, girl" doted on camping; a student longed for mental treats, especially grand opera; a railroad
HARDING'S POLICY. In picking General Wood for governor general of the Philippines, President Harding but followed the policy which he put into effect in the beginning of his administration selection of a specialist where special work is to be performed. There is nothing of a distrustful nature about the president. He is not fearful of plaeing men of large caliber in positions where they may render notable service. Did he possess a Jealous disposition he would not have gathered so many men of presidential size about him. He would not have in his official family a former nominee of his party and another much considered as a possibility; he would not have appointed a rival to the post of head of the Philippine government. In his efforts to give the best administration the president looks for big men where there are big jobs to be filled. And it is to the credit of the men called bj the president that they hearken. It is evidence, of their patriotism that such are willing to 'serve. That,
thwarted in a laudable ambition, they do not sulk, but are willing to do in a less exalted capacity what
is needed, proves tehir worth. Nearly all such men suffer materially in giving their time to the government, but that they are willing to do so when called Is proof of the security of our institutions under such guidance. Some men in lofty positions may seek to shine by contrast, gathering pigmies around them. That is not the plan of the present administration. It is not a time for personal aggrandizement and the best assistants that can be secured are the only ones wanted. Such is clearly the policy President Harding has established.

They took every first, second and third that they were able to get In, leaving one for the girls and one Tor the little boys under 10 years of age. The best swimmers at Summer Camp were the ones who turned the trick. With very few changes It was Just aa every one (who knew) expected. The training at Summer Camp was too much for the rt of the boys In town. We look for better time next year so all aspirants to swimming fame had better book up for a few weeks at camp next summer. This la the way the Scouts lined up at the end of the meet. James Halsey. first, 16 points. Iceland LaBell, second. 7 points. Arthur Jlavill, third, 6 points. Lyle Collett, fourth. 6 points.

AN EVE LESS EDEN. Another unjust discrimination against women has come to light in the determination of the young pickle manufacturer cf England, T. F. Rhodes Disher, to allow no women on board his ship the Medora when next It sails for his "Summer Land of Eden" in the South Seas This, too. when several women joined the first party which sailed for the new Eden, although they have been warned that women soon lose their beauty there as well as being apt to die early. But the ship 'an into a gale and came back to wait for good weather. Mr. Disher paints a pleasing picture of life In the island he has chosen for his followers two hours" work a day to provide shelter, pajamas and bathing suits and all the food needed on a tropical island, with all taxes, high cost of living and other vexations of clvlized life left behind. But how can It be an Eden if women are barred from the island?
ONCE A RAINY Sunday Interfered with church attendance. Now it affects motoring.

DO you knotr that by lar the larger number of the common ailments of" women are not surgical ones; that is they are not caused by any serious displacement, tumor, growth, or other marked change ? TP0 you know that these common ailments produce symptoms Lf that are very much like those caused by the more serious surgical conditions? DO you know that many women and young girls suffer needlessly from such ailments? More than that, they endanger their health by allowing their ailments to continue and develop into something serious. If treated early, that is, within a seasonable time alter the first warning symptoms appear, serious conditions may often be averted. Therefore, at the first appearance of such symptoms as periodic pains, irregularities, irritability and nervousness, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound should be taken. It is prepared with accuracy and cleanliness from medicinal plants. It contains no narcotics nor poisonous drugs, and can be taken with perfect safety. The Vegetable Compound acts on th? conditions which bring about thesa symptoms in a gentle and efficient manner. The persistent use of it shows itself in the disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeable symptoms. In a word, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound acts as a natural restorative, relieving the present distress and preventing more serious trouble. Why not give a fair trial to this medicine
