Dora, who is going in for sociology in a big way, thinks a settlement house is a collection agency. We see where a San Francisco man swallowed a $950 diamond ring, although the cheaper roughage is bran. The Bolshevists are demonstrating along the Chinese front just how really enthusiastic they are in the cause of peace. In Utopia the rocking-chair mara- I thons are promoted in the spring fever season, and the rocking feature is not compulsory. “Chewing gum is frowned on officially in Chile.” We are given to understand the government puts its foot I down on it One thing air police never will be able to do. They never will get a chance to tap on the pavements with night sticks. A .fire has reduced I’ogranichinaya on the Manchurian border to ashes, and will leave a gap for a time in the war dispatches. A great merger of fruit and vegetable interests is announced. It is i feared the result may be more celery-and-apple salad. Purely from a utilitarian standpoint, we’d like to see that Manchurian railroad go to whichever side can open the pullman windows. We guess the difficulty with the thin- ! pajama fad which lasted only a few days in Chicago was that a holster is . liable to chafe the hip. One reassuring fact about this proposal to use cornstalks for gas is tfiat it aeed not reduce the supply of material for corncob pipes. It develops that the adhesive used on the postage stamps at present is nothing but a tapioca preparation. Our suggestion right along has been chair varnish. The sculptor who says that American girls resemble the early Greek maidens isn’t really complimenting the American girl quite as much as some of them may think he is. Natives of some South Sea Islands sleep on pillows made from tree trunks. The custom will not seetn very primitive to our convention-goers who sleep three to a billiard table. The faculty of a Carolina college gave a masquerade ball recently. We were in hopes the absent-minded professor would wear his false face to the barber’s and ask for a shave. We can never remember whether it was 100.090.000 light years, or Hf:. <><>o.ooo.ooo. that the eminent scientist thought was the diameter of the universe. or was it the circumference? It is difficult to believe that modern women ever will consent to go back to long skirts, having had a taste of ease and freedom. Beside that, there’s ttie problem of getting into the rumble seat. The average age of members of the new Italian cabinet is forty-seven years, while the average age in the one before was forty-live years, which by an odd coinciden was also Mussolini’s. z Upon hearing that the contending forces in Manchuria had no suitable battle songs, the Office Poet is trying to remedy the defect with a thing beginning, “It’s a long way to Blagovyeshchensk.” It seems the nu^ssenger boys for on" of the telegraph companies have creases sewed into their trousers. Recalling the early type of Palm Beach suit, with the wrinkles carefully stitched into place. An informal talk wijh the new—paper mep at I<> I’owning street is describ'd as an innovation in England. A few more such innovations and the course of true international love may run more smoothly. We wonder what Colonel Roosevelt ] who didn't care for romantic wild life < stories, much, would have calk‘d * i bird expert who claims he saw wild ducks studying airplane maneuvers for tips on new flying formations. A man is getting on to middle age who can remember when a dan-ing partner hail ribs that went up ami down, instead of sideways. The number of babies born with silver spoons in their mouths is nothin.' to the number that ’lie from putting safety 7 pins in their mouths. The nations are still in a dilemma as t<> where the international bank should he located. Since its purpose is “liquidation” of the war. why not compromise on the English Channel? It is perfectly safe to disbelieve the story that ti e eight-million year oi l whale bones found in Maryland had Jonah’s initials cut in them. A chemist has su <e<' I in dividing an atom of hydra _ n into tv o parts, and is now equipped to • •••• n a drag store and split a pie l’_ ways. Reindeer meat consun ption may soon be universal, says an Alaskan | story. “And I fear.” remarked Little i Willy, gnawing a chicken neck at the moment, “that 1 shall get the horns.”
