advent on the road has only run a little
over 5000 miles. Would make an ideal

We may not be absolutely starving,
but have you noticed the awful unrest
of the people? It indicates the masses
are coming near the bread-line, and
that few people are still amassing alb
normal fortunes.
One of the disturbing elements of
society is the arrogant lawlessness of
what society denominates respectable
people This bunch wants legisla-
ton against strikes and lock-outs, but
it still holds itself above law. It wants
high finance, and demands the right to
build clubs in prohibited districts, but
refuses to be obedient to the common
laws of decency.
More often discomfort is not a social
disease, but cry of hope for better
things. If all were satisfied, the world
would vegetate. Discomfort is not al
ways clamor of demagogism. 1t is
more often demand for better ideas.
Suppose we had this motto conspicu-
ously posted along our streets, What
kind Of a father are you?" What effect
would it have upon the fathers of the
town? The best men of any town should
be fathers. Men do not often think of
being fathers, but ''being business
men," But men, ask yourselves this
question: If all the fathers in town
xvora 5r1c+ EL-a ma x4-bof L-iv,J of q fo+I
erhood would this town be? 1 am sure
we should study this subject a little
more than we have. If we do and act
on our best conclusions there will be
some radical changes made. Why not
have Fathers Day and have a get
together meeting, and see to it that
our children shall have some regener-
ated dads to look up to. If you have
never thought of it just study little,
make few observations, and you will
say that father I know needs little
touching up. my, I would hate to
have him for my father" Some one,
you know, may be saying the same
thing about you. Let US set apart Sun
day, April 80, as Fathers Day. Let
US have great meeting, honestly dis
cussing the subject of fatherhood.
have watched great crowds of peo-
pie. Did you ever notice how many
homely people there were in the world?
If you will visit a photographer you will
be surprised to notice that there are
more homely people getting their epic
lures took than any other. You
sometimes feel like asking why do they
wish to perpetuate their |'ugly faces?"
Then have seen those homely stupid
faces change-all done, not by beauty
cream nor by the studied posing, but
by the thought of helping someone
else, by spontaneous love thoughts.

Redwood City, Cal, Jan. 5.-Though
he had to sleep tonight on an iron cot
suspended from creaking chains in a
smelly prison. John d. Spreckles, Jr.,
heir to millions, vowed Jail life wasn't
so bad after all. He was on the last
lap of two day Jolt for failing to
dim his automobile lights as he whiz-
zed through this exclusive community.
The Jolt" however, was naught COM
pared to the perturbation he eNper-
fenced when he learned his punishment
was to be a Jail sentence instead of a
fine But, at that, he had rubbed ell
bows in democratic fashion today with
an alleged murderer, an alleged burg
lar and half breed. They were SYM
pathetic.
What you in for?" they asked lit
tie divining as they extended an inNi-
tation to a little game of Pedro that
they were hobnobbing with one of the
elite of San Francisco.

lation," said the millionaire.
Huh" snorted one of the trio, dat
nuttin'. Look at us. We may be doin
bit de rest of our lives"
Aside from missing his heavy brass
bed, his foot thick mattress and his
valet, Spreckles allowed he couldn't
complain much. Everybody was goot
to him-and after ALL there was nj
reason why his millions should pre-
vent him from getting the same treat
ment as other law violators, But, III

Then, too, his friends and famil
were all solicitous. In fact, severa
of them made heroic efforts to wrcs
