A writer in one of the leading : dailies believes that ''the excess of today is the aftermath of the abuse of yesterday and the fore runner of the temperance of to- morrow. If there is sound logic in this argument we should sure ly have good times when this business depression that has been lowering oyer us loosens. If there is anything in the fact that one excess brings on another, we join in the chorus and say let the ex- cess of good come our way.
 A feature of wonderful devel- opment in motor manufacturing that perhaps many of us do not consider much is the enormous use of gasoline. It is estimated that the automobiles and motors in use this year will consume $2.- 800, 100000. worth. There will be in operation in this country this year about 2, 400, 900 mac hines. Nice business for the automobile manufacturers and the bit of gasoline used will also help John D. weather the storm.
 A bachelor lady with some sense of humor was posing tor her photograph. AS she threw herself carelessly into a charm ing pose, the photographer raised his finger. There! You look good that way!" The lady straigh- tened up. Say it again!' she said coaxingly. Its the first time a man has said I looked good to him in many a day." The photographer looked startled, blushed. then worked on silently. while the lady beamed on his en- barrassment with evident enjoy ment.
 Eleven employees of the Nation al City Bank of New York left that city on the 9th for Rio De Janeiro to establish the second South American Branch of the National City Bank. Permission for such establishment was given by the Federal Reserve Bank. The two major reasons why the great and growing trade of South America has heretofore been handled by European countries has been due to the satisfactory financial arrangements between the two continents, and the mer- chant marine of the old nations. Now we are getting lined up on the financial arrangements, we need only the shipping facilities to be strong bidder for South American commerce.
 London Chronicles: If salt is not essential to life. why do those who have little or none of it crave for it? You should see, as I have seen (writes a corre- spondent) the whole population turn out of an African village on the approach of white prospec- tors in the hope of obtaining salt. The men demanded it, the women clamored and the chil- dren cried for it. Even the cof- fee coIored babies slung astr1de their mothers backs thrust forth their tiny hands and devoured it as greedily as our English chil- dren do sweets. A spoonful of salt all around established ami cable relations, and when it came later to bartering I found salt by far the most valuable medium. Value for value salt procured three times as much as calico or fancy goods.

 The Rocky Mountain News re- ports the realty business is rapid ly getting better in Denver. Several large cash transactions have been handled lately, and home buying is on the increase. Improved farm lands are also moving at a good range of prices.
