these visitors return home with grave
doubts as to the stability of our govern

periodical lunatics at baseball games
has made this country safe and sane"
A DRY" HUMORIST
[ used to wonder why George Fitch
lived in Peoria Ill. For the rainfall in
Peoria seldom exceeds nine inches an
hour and you know the saying Rain
makes corn, corn makes whisky, and
whisky makes humorists." There are
exceptions, however, Fitch was one. He
could have been funny in Egypt, the Dry
Tortugas, or this year of grace 1919.
And if there were Peorians who devoted
their undivided attention to making

OF the suddenest things that ever hap
pened. Ten years ago the automobile
was curiosity. Today ittis a necessity
Ten years ago the great question con-
corning every automobile was will it
go? Today every policeman is asking,
Can I stop it?' +"
Still, he was aware that it had not
yet reached perfection. AS he said, 1.-The
discussion of automobiles would be in
complete without a few hectic remarks
on tires. The automobile tire is one
of the most violent explosives known 1t
costs like jewelry and wears like paper"
though in the past few years it has been
perfected in price so that the dividends
of tire companies have doubled"
He realized, too. that pedestrians were
pretty nearly as detrimental to automo-
billing as cows are to motorcycling, and
got up set of rules, which possibly you
recall-such for instance, as these: ''Pe-
destrians crossing boulevards at night
shall wear white light in front and
a red light in the rear In lodging s-u-
tomobiles pedestrians shall net run more
than seven miles an hour Pedestrians
shall not carry in their pockets any
sharp substances that are liable 70 cut
automobile tires. Pedestrians must reg
lister at the beginning of each year and
pay license OF s. for the privilege of
living: there shall be no rebate if they
do not live through the entire year"
A master of sensible nonsense, Fitch
wrote without effort. and never had to
stop and get out and crank himself. For
joyous, wild, hit-or-miSs yivacity, his
manuscripts were caution. So were his
letters. l saw quite a batch of them
the other day and can sympathize with
the editor who called him the Horace
Greeley of the typewriter, though it was
a great injustice to Greeley.
| am never SO impressed with F'itch's
genius as when see the dreadful type
writing he dared to throw at editors.
This alone proves that he attained sue
cess in iife-which, by the way. was a
favorite theme of his. Success" he
said lis what man achieves when he
accomplishes his aim. There is a sus-
picion that success consists either in
fame or riches, but there are really a
great many kinds of success. 1t depends
on what a man aims at. A humorist is
successful when people laugh at him.
But an inventor Is not successful until
every one is sorry they laughed at him
A farmer is successful when he can
raise enough corn to buy an automobile.
An automobile dealer is successful when

disposition and people begin to climb
hastily for the other side of the street
when they see him coming. Many a man
has hated himself out of job, out of
his optimism, and out of his friends,
while the object of his hatred has gone
on gaining weight and happiness each
year"
Fitch on Quick Lunches:-"A dui *

its aid a man can lower enough food in
