The OTHER ANGLE
Our QUESTIONABLE.
BY.KIRK MILLER.

Although this queer old cosmos has
snarled itself into a terrible sector of
spaghetti and everybody is calling up
the desk clerk and registering COM
plants. you don't find any folks who
are willing to stop living. even though
postage stamps do stick to your vest.
IT was never intended that we should
know everything. and Sots of us
breeze through life without under
standing anything, not even our ap-
petites, yet there are one or two things
that don't seem to hitch up with our
idea OF law and order and we've just
terrogations.
We've been bending our brains over
the question of lavender stationery and
who ever invented it. Sure as Christ
mas comes along. it blows a blizzard
Of cerise writing paper and suspen-
ders, and we don't wear either one.
Why couldn'u the gent who picks up
Anglo-Saxon rags that will hatch
blond paper instead of peering into
every alley and backyard for all the
shopworn rags of lavender hue worn
by Theda Bara and other vampires:
Cnravel this piece of spaghetti and
we'll tell you why the biggest man in
the orchestra plays the piccolo and
the dwarf rattles the bass drum.
One other tipic that's been causing
trouble under our hat is that of re-
volving doors. Why the bird who be-
came infamous for thinking of revolv-
ing exits didn't publish a set of rules
for using them-we ask you. No styi-
ish downtown Office building would
think of making its debut without de-
facing its port cochere with full
complement of rotating escapes and
only one man out of ten knows whether
to attack them from the front or rear.
As for the women-any shirted voter
who can win a skirmish from a re-
volving door can guess what time to
have supper ready. and that's some
thing else we'd like to know. It's
hard to tell whether these centrifugal
apertures are meant to help you In or
to keep you out Anyway we know a lot
of birds who were never able to de-
feat a circular door and for that rea-
son could never jimmy their way
through one because the people COM
ing out never let the durn thing stop
long enough. When they invent re-
straps for habitues of Washington car
lines-maybe we'll be able to answer
our own QUESTIONABLE.
A lot OF our best citizens have be-
come anemic trying to wade through
life on a series of doughnuts. but half
Of 'em don't know whether doughnut
Is baked in an oven or boiled with the
jacket on--and neither do we. If some
nice old Aunt Mary will tip us on to
the evolution Of doughnut we'll tell
her why are seediess oranges and what

London, Jan. 16-The climax of
death struggle between the Reichs.

annextionists is expected before the
Reichstag by Chancellor Won Hert-
ling.
The present conference in Berlin
of military and political leaders IS
regarded as an effort to obtain some
agreement among German parties as
to war aims.
In many quarters it is believed
annexationists, headed by Won Lu.
derdorff and Won Hindenburg, will be
victorious and that the chancellor
will proclaim new war aims with III
tended annexations both on the east
and west fronts as their basis.
The slated speech is also expected
to take the form of a reply to the
recent addresses of President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George. Upon
it may also rest the ultimate result
of the peace conferences with Russia.
