< This typewriter note (the signature is clew) is
apparently by senographer
Her idea is good one and the editor is glad to make
the suggestion requested
Suppose each employer, not only of women, but of
men, should permit his employees to report late to work
Tor day or two
Part could take day and part another and so the
congestion in the SHOPS in the late afternoon and evenings
might be relieved.
One hour in the morning is potent for shopping
a whole evening
Let the employees take their morning shopping hours
In accord with agreed SCHEDULED few each day. They
will all work enough harder to prevent any hitch in office
store factory, and it will be wise investment for the
employer to have his workpeople have their Christmas
shopping with and their minds back on their work
1t will be relief to the salespeople to have their
evening rushes lghtened and it will be benefit to retail
merchants to be able to handle their customers in quiet
and more efficient manner.
''S ~ Noggs'' suggestion is passed on to all en-
poyers being wise economy, to say nothing of being
real manifestation of the holiday spirit of ''good will
toward men,
So lets let all our employees have few morn
ing hours in which to do their Christmas shopping

ALL RIGHT, BUT CALL THE ROLL.

What is this row between President Roosevelt
and congress?
Well the president allowed secret service men to be
nsed in running down criminals Among Others senator
and representative caught and convicted They
were caught robbing the government whose pay roll
they were They were using the power given them by
the people to rob the people.
This couple of years ago. So last year congress
directed that secret service limit their activity to
pertain matters pertaining to counterfeiting etc., and
refrain from general activity against any and all Grim
inals.
The president put two and two together and came to
the conclusion that hitherto uncaugh senators and
representatives felt the thought that
Service men might be on their trails.
80 he said In his last message, IF that is what you
must not hunt congressional criminals f any but don t
Continue to forbid them from hunting all criminals
Now congress says it is nsulted. Perhaps it is but
perhaps it is merely feeling the twinges of guilty
Science.
Ii all the senators and representatives are innocent
why should they object to secret service men Does the
honest citizen object when he policeman on his
streety Does the with clean back yard set up a
howl when he health officer marching about the
alleys?
Ii and when congress ''saps the president for his
about the secret service there only one thing
The public need care about
That is, that there be aye and nay roll call
1t Will be useful to voters at coming elections know
which OF the members of congress object the policing

One of Those Brainstormy Narratives
BY FRED SCHAEFER

Whiplike, the north wind stung
the face. Ice fragments, sharp like
broken glass, pelted on mems hats
or became enmeshed in women S
wells. The thermometer at a cor
ner drug store contracted its
thread of quicksilver even as one
watched it. Like conqueror
forcing a we'll timed surprise at
tack, the blizzard marshaled its
Borean legions and hurled them
against the city. On Flagstaff the
cold wave flag was swapping fran
tically at it's halyards as if in
panic. Theh weather man issued a
hurried forecast that there would
be drop of 40 degrees in ~
hours, and he was right-it was
taking place while he was saying
it.
Men with heavy green oyercoats,
and other men with overcoats from
last year, hunched themselves
down into the upturned collars
thereof and bucked in bee line
through the riot of elements to
reach shelter. Fur clad women
from the steam heated theaters and
shops scurried for the stpffy pro-
lection offered by struggling street
cars. Traffic in the public square
thinned out as though it had been
swept with Calling gun. This
was some storm.
But the square was not entirely
deserted. Among the few who
loitered, exposed to the sleet's
fury. vas . hoy; q boy without

MAKE GOOD'

Make good,
Cut out "if," could" and Should"
And start in to saw wood.
You can still have the best
Things in life, like the rest
or the men who've achieved
Just because they've believed
In themselves. You're deceived,
If you think fortune comes
With a rattle of drums
And a fanfare of state
TO hand yours on a plate.
That isn't the way
That she visits today.
You must get out and rustic and
hustle and hustle;
You need all your muscle, for
you've got to tussle.
Plunge into the fight.
Hit to left and to right.
And keep crashing and smashing.
Don't let up with your striking
TIL things meet your liking.
For Gods sake, stop bawling-
Instead, do some mauling.
1t makes the world bitter
To look at gutter;
Fate scowls when she sees
A grown-up on his knees.
A man with his health
Is mine damned with wealth
Full of UNEMPLOYED lodes.
Why, the freckled-back toads
Have the sense to keep Jumping
And here you are Pumping!
Come now, strike your gait
1t isn't too late,
There's no such thing as fate!
Dry that fool-talk of luck"
Get grip on your pluck,
And buck
Begin
To grin
And win.

MAN CLASSES WOMAN AS A
LUXURY.
BY Prof. r. A. Ross of University
Of Wisconsin,.
AS We get farther away from the
primitive conditions of civilization,
man comes to have less and less of
desire for a helpmate, and insists
more and more that women shall
present herself to him In the light
of a luxury. A large proportion of
American men really prefer wives
who don't know too much. They
want an oversexed woman-one
who will scream when she sees a
mouse, and has to be. helped down
from street car step.
