It's A New Idear

G03., May AH -us Managing Ed,
 Dear Chief:
 Wen Chief, ever since that incidence last Wk when our town lost q big in vestment by having a wealthy visitor quit the town in huff when his false teeth was shook out when they took him for a drive around town and had to cross the street car tracks, l heen giving some stupendous thoughts to municipal problems and dentists in- ventions.
 And while am something of an in- ventor and cooked up a. skeem Of nak- ing teeth with shock adsorbers for people who have to ride on our streets, still and all I don't seem to make no progress with my idear and so hence, I have given up that line Of thought for the time bein and am now ingaged in the municipal aspekt of the situa- ton, to which I will now address my self, as we writers say.
 But before I give up the teeth and the old man, just want to suggest that you ought to of written piece about it and put a headline on 1t some thing like this: "Wealthy Visitor Quits Town Tn Huff When Given Jawy Ride" You see the fun wifi come when the read CTS will see by the piece that you meant a joy ride instead of vice and versa. OI course they will have to read the story so as to find out what the head means, put they nave HECti AN4AA445 so long now they are uset to doing that, eh. Chief. And what's newspaper mans life worth anyhow if he can | have his little joke every so oftenE
 But to get back to the municiplal problems and civics improvements along the line of streets. l realize that the new administration for the city has been wrastling with this matter oi streets and that Bill Plunkett was right when he askt the people not to kid the cornish. but am sure, Chief, that they will welcome a word or two from the wise as enough.
 And so I got a bran new idear to offer to the cornish. and won't charge no royalties for it's use, and know they will use it because 1t seems to pc something new in our city govt, and the people here falls for new in oVa- tiong. Ny idear is this. The city cornish could organize d dept and cadi it what they wish, but my suggestions is that they call it the street dept Now at the head of this dept they could put a competence man and cal him anything they want that's respect full, but my suggestion is they call nm Sup. of Streets, and of course that could include the allies.
 Now this man would be responsible for the poor conditions of the streets and if I was Walt Plunket I'd call him in and say to him in a heart to heart way. Say, Jake, this job is yourn so longs you do it right. Here's your aprobations to spend. and see that you keen the streets going concern. lI

WASHINGTON--The move to bring
President Wilson actively into the

got such setback at the White

senate opponents OF ratification again
pronounced the treaty dead and gave
notice that they would move to bring
the debate speedily to an end
Officials close to the president de-
clared that democratic senators al
ready were fully advised of the atti-
tude of the executive and that COM
promise proposals should be ad-
dressed, not to Mr.. Wilson, but to
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
republican leader in the senate. 1t
was not revealed whether the presi
dent would grant the requested con-
ference with Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, representing the sen
ate democrats, in final effort at
compromise, but the White House
officials intimated that they thought
further efforts to inquire the presi
dents views would be superflous.

Small Cone Shaped Asia

Upraised Arm and Open Palm
Meant Soldier Had No Daqqer

The military salute so familiar to
every soldier and scout dates back to
very early days. notes Boys Life. At
hrst 1t was not intended In the least
to show respect to superlors. The up.
raised arm with the open palm ex-
tended was meant merely to show that
the soldier did not carry dagger In
his hand and could not attack IL he
wanted to. An even more remarkable
change has come In the meaning OF
the custom Of retiring backward from
the presence Of royalty. In very early
times men backed away from a king
to protect themselves from being
kicked.
