YOU MIGHT MEET A FOOL. On a road at the foot of the Rockies is a pign that reals: "Danger Sharp Curve You Might Meet a Foci." Such a Fign is calculated to maks a driver Fit up ond take notice. Ths latter sees at almost, every s.harp turn a notice to proceed -with caution, or to Mew his horn, and tomes to be little impressed by i hem. He has confidence n his ability to avoid running info another car. But IT there is a fool in the other tar the efforts of the moet skillful driver to escape a collision may he futile. There would be far fewer automobile mishaps if ev?ry driver would bear constantly in mind the possibility that there may be a fool ahead, not only on - ia:p curves, but on stretches of straight road. It is ,iw:se to assume tbat each car on the highway la in 1 barge of an experienced driver who knows the traffic rules and will obey them. You may think that inasmuch as you are keeping on your side of the road there is no daDger in running your car at high speed. nur jou might meet a fool who will not stick to his i-i'ie 11 f the road. The fool whom you might meet is not necessarily another driver. He may Te a pedestrian. Bearing in mind at ail times that there are slow-witted folk ,n the world, who may be found in all places, and that 'here is a possibility that you may encounter one. you "ill n if be so likely to meet with misliaps as if you took if fr granted that all persons are level-headed and know enough to keep out of harm's way.

joke. The French warrior knows that he has a strenuous experience ahead of him and he is no lenger in his first youth. He whimsically remarks that "poor Marshal Fayolle was on the verge of dyspepsia when he returned from America, and he has a much better stomach than I. If the Americans Insist on banqueting me as they propose, I am afraid the 'battle cf America' will be my undoing." Marshal Foch wil not be the first distinguished visitor to wish that American hospitality were a. little less exuberant. From Charles Dickens to Madame Curie our guests, while appreciating the warmth of their reception, have been inclined to comment on the manner in which they were kept on the go from the, time of their arrival until their departure. But this treatment of visiting celebrities is not peculiar to America. The police reserves had to be called out in London the other day to rescue Charlie Chaplin from the over-enthusiastic greeting cf the crowds. If Marshall Foch fears for his digestion after the inevitable round of banquets he will be compelled to attend in this country, he might take a lesson from America's champion after-dinner speaker, who, though many years older than the French commander, is still hale and hearty. Asked how he had been able to stand so many banquets during his oratorical career of more than 60 years, Chauncey M. Depew revealed a secret to his interviewer. He said that he was in the habit of having a simple meal before he went to a banquet, and ate scarcely anything at the formal function. We tlon't want any guest, especially one whom we so much admire as Marshal Foch. to be disabled through our strenuous hospitality.

The -Passing - Show

FOR A SOVIET "REPUBLIC." A number of high officials of the National Socialist party have just resigned from the organization after issuing a bombastic proclamation of their intention to work for the establishment of "a soviet republic in the United States."

If their desire is to invite martyrdom In the form of a ride in the patrol wagon or some other phase of "persecution" by "the minions of capitalism" they will have to become more torrid than in their manifesto to the American people. For so long as they do not advocate the overthrow of our existing gvernment through violence they are quite within their rights; their announced program is legal, though ridiculous. There is no law to prevent any organization of men from making fools of themselves. That is their inalienable privilege, and it Is one of which many take full advantage.

MARSHAL FOCH IS A WISE MAN. Despite the humorous side of his procedure, the announcement cf Marshal Foch that he Is going Into a on'h's training on his country estate, preparatory m his visit to America next month. Is more than a

UNDER THE HEAD of unsettled business there is still the question of how to tell by its looks whether it's a straw hat or an exploded theory.

THE OLD-FASHIONED excitement on the street that once was due to a runaway is now due to a woman in a long skirt.

THE CHIEF objection of the average man to taint

ed money is that 'taint his.

TP it were generally known HOW much the people enjoy the SUMSIEH. period In which thereARE no tag days, It la believed THAT steps would be taken IMMEDIATELY to spoil it. A man gets blue over LOSING a lot of money AXD a woman jets blue over GAJXI.NG a lot of flesh. HOME brew Is said to be no longer POSSIBLE, notwithstanding It win be SHOW7T that the IMPOSSIBLE Is Quite possible. THE difference between THEORY and practice Is that THOSE who ara unfortunate ENOUGH to have no children ef THEIR, own generally do not BELIEVE In spanking. IT Is hsrd to say which is THE more annoying THE man who is against EVERYTHING or the one that IS for everything. WELL no matter how much the TAX burden Is shifted the average INDIVIDUAL Is going to fee.1 enough of It

TO know he la carrying something. NATURE Is so wonderful IN so many ways that we CANT quite understand WHY It crowded so many seeds IN raspberry jam which we like AND' so few into the gooseberry JAM which we don't like. WOMEN used to go to Paris for STYLES but now they seem TO have gone Into the heart OF Africa for them. THE unemployment conference WILL at least furnish employment TO a number of ECONOMIC advisers. THE thoughtful man learns THROUGH observation of the experi

ence

OF others and modifies his OWN conduct of life accordingly AND whenever a fat movler clown INVITES us to one of his orgies In the future WE are sternly resolved to turn down THE invitation post haste. IT a woman dresses well THE other women who cant do ft SAY she Is breaking he-r husband AND If she doesn't THEY say she's a slotieh.
