one proposal of marriage Is because
they are SO afraid that they might o
get another one.
The fact that a man led his victori-
GUS college debating team doesn't do
him a bit of good when he gets into an
argument with the girl he married.
Billboards are not the most artistic
things In the world. But a billboard
is usually a big improvement on what
it conceals.
Every time we hear of a gambler
reforming we are willing to bet that
he was an unsuccessful gambler.
! After a nan has bee married ten
years it isn't Love that makes him
work ten hours a day to get money
enough to pay the food bills his wife
runs up. 1t is half habit and half
| fear.
A wife is a person who will GO
around Dragging about her husbands
ability even when she doesn't believe
he has any.
If the wife next door makes the
husband next door tidy up the lawn.
1t is a sign that your wife is going te
give you all the worst of the compare
son when she speaks of h man next
door.
The difference between Lots wife
and a lot of other wives Is that the
other wives turn peppery.
1t doesn't do a bit OF good to name
a boy William. His mother is going
! to call him Willie and his father is
going to call him Bill.
Seeing how a girl likes to hide her
ears under her hair it is lucky for her
that she is a chicken and not a rooster

Anyway, when things go wrong af-

THE SENATE RESPONSIBILITY

Those senators in Washington who are holding up the
ratification of the peace treaty have assumed serious response
bility in the light of events both in this country and in Europe.
President Wilson, at the capitol yesterday, emphasized the fact
that economic stability in Europe requires early ratification of
the treaty as it was presented to the senate; as for this country,
the race riots that have assumed such a serious aspect in diff
ferent parts of the country suggest pernicious activity on the
part of agitators hostile to the American government.
For ten weeks, now, the United States senate has been de-
batting the peace treaty upon the acceptance Of which depends
the final readjustment of the worlds affairs. There is nothing
that breeds anarchy and chaos so much as uncertainty, doubt
and hesitation. The war left the nations PROSTATE; Bolshevism
has stalked over a large part of Europe and other nations that
are striving to hold it back can hardly be expected to succeed
much longer under the present unsettled state of affairs.
Here in America the fruits of Bolshevism are beginning.
to crop out. 1t is well known that an extensive propaganda
was carried on among the negroes in this country as the most
fruitful. field for the Bolsheviki to operate. 1t is known that a
rising among the negroes was anticipated on the Fourth of
July. Closely following the riots in Washington come the riots
in Chicago. In Me latter place the trouble was started by the
negroes invading the bathing beach where blacks We're not
supposed TO battle. The Bolsheyiki had told them to take what
would not be granted to them willingly. They are following
that advice. It's silly advice TO be sure, but it does not prevent
serious riots.
But if we have such things here with merely a taste of the
war and where men have always been on an equality before
the law, what must be the conditions in Europe where the rank
and file have been held down for centuries by the aristocracy
and where they have now just found their freedom2
In the meantime the world waits for the United States
senate, in all its bitterness toward President Wilson, to ratfy
the peace treaty in order that the nations may settle down and
get back to business To amend the treaty or present reserva-
tons that would necessitate the document going back to the
peace conference at Versailles would only open up the whole
subject causing chaos in Europe and perhaps end by not Sc
curing half as good a treaty as is at present before the nations
and which Germany has already signed
The responsibility for the delay iii the restorationo of peace
throughout the world now rests with those few Republican
senators who are acting as obstructionists in their desperate
effort TO diseredit- President Wilson and play politics. The
longer they delay The more serious becomes the situation
throughout the world.
The thing to do is to ratify the treaty as it stands and give
the League Of Nations, which means so well, trial.

If one has humor in his makeup, he is the darling child of

despair. All, me, 1 pity some poor mortals who cannot laugh at
their own grief; you cannot make them think that chorues bring to
our troubles quick relief. They're always prompt to laugh at others.

their brothers go falling down nine flights of stairs. But their own
grfefs another matter-theres nothing humorous in that; they hand
out grievous groans and splatter all kinds of tears around the fat

MILLER TIRES OVER
 RIM ! TIE WORLD

It is the heavy load over sharp stony roadway that shatters tires as they climb to the rim of the world, over in san Bernardino country, ac- cording to Max Greene, the general manager of the Mountain Auto line. Consequently there was considerable elation at the Los Angeles branch of when word came that Max Greene had tried out the Miller Uniform cords and found them perfectly adaptable for all requirements of this arduous grind. the Miller Rubber company, of Akron,
 Before the Miller company had an- nounced to the public it's plans for making sa-called heavy duty pneu- matics. it had sent a scupply of big, oversize Miller cords out to California for the most gruelling testing that en- thusiastic Millerites could devise. Con- sequently, Q set of these tires soon found themselves on the wheels of a 1000 pound car loaded with from 10 to 12 persons who were going up and over the hills
 The test was not completed in a day or week-not even a month. It l lasted several monthsl and when it finished and the good news reached J. O. Ward. manager of the Los An l geles branch, the latter immediately decided to take time to see the rim of the world for himself. Accordingly he set out in one of Max Greenes huge cars equipped with Miller cords. When

he returned he admitted he could not tell for the life of him whether he had been more interested in the bewitching scenery or in the Miller tires.
 They rode great was Wards yer dict about the trip. It was up to Greene. however, to tell why Miller tires are especially suitable for his business.
 IA 1000 pound car, filled with 20 persons, it not a light load for any tire he said. Tt will strain the wearing qualities of the best of them, but the Miller stands it better than the others I have tried because of its oversize and resiliency. The teeth of the geared- to-the road tread. and the little cups on the middle of the tread, also help to furnish traction which, ob- viously not only renders more econ omical motive power, but adds to the wearing qualities of the tires them selves. There is no sckidding and swaying. These big heavy duty Miller pneumatics are just the thing for om- nibus and truck work. They furnish speed. safety and mi&imum economy in car upkeep."
 The route over which the Miller tires established such an enviable rep utation is the "101 mile drive on the rim of the world" It embraces a loor entering the mountains near the fam Waterman canyon and the celebrated sWitchbacks. over the crest of the range to Big Bear valley. an ap- proXimate distance of 60 miles Thence via San Bernardino mountain and the Miller creek canyon grade to Redlands and San Bernardino, 2 distance of 50 miles
