No Matter How Tired Conventions
Get, They are Ready to Laugh.

Set, ney arc Heady 10 Laugh.
BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Julyq 1.-The long hours
of oratoryN that mark every national
political convention may bore the
tired delegates and spectators nearly
to the point OF exhaustion, out never
kill their sense of humor. Occasional
~ a witty sentence or a quick re-
joinder has been credited with hay-
ing had "a greater effect on the final
result than all the oratorJ' Of the
picked spell binders.
At the recent republican gathering
lat Chicago, Frank 3. Willis, former
governor OF Ohio was far down In
the list. The $4,000 sweltering per-
sons, who crowded the big coliseum
had listened with only half-interest
to more than five hours Of fervid
oratory when Willis, closing his
speech, said: well, boys and girls,
let's nominate Harding"
The friendly humor brought a
ready response.
The next day. when the landslide
toward Harding began. an Ohio adj
mirer of the senator who had inscrib-
ed the sentence on a huge sheet OF
cardboard dropped it from the gall
lery. 1t made an instantaneous hit.
Earlier in the contest, negro dele
gate from Oklahoma, appearing be-
fore the credentials committee at 8
o'clock In the morning to- press his
claim for seat, put new life into
that body and won his point by a re-
mark. Having told how the lilly
white siie had held its convention
in a hotel from which negroes were
barred by the proprietor, he said:
why, gentlemen, in Oklahoma
there's Jim Crowism' from the hem
house to the hotel.''
In the laugh that followed a motion
to seat the contestant was carried
unanimously.

Waterloo Courier.1
One OF these days Waterloo will
discover. as other and larger cities
have found out, that the control of
automobile traffic is not something
TO be handled as sort Of side line,
or in connection with other regula-
tory activities. The taking care and
regulation Of the automobile and
truck traffic is mans size job, If it
Is properly done.
| Time was when automobile drivers
took care OF themselves, and regu-
lated themselves, within reasonable
limits. but that time has passed.
Nothing short of very definite rules
and requirements will save the pub
lie and the automobilists, themselv-
es. from serious consequences.
And in this connection may be
mentioned the headlight. We have re-
ferred to this upon other. occasions.
It still needs further attention.
Equipped with certain types Of lens
es, headlights are harmless to cars
approaching from the opposite lirec-
ton. There are other types that are
subject to the within OF the oriver.

sometimes the case. he may not give

Then there are cars running at
large without any kind Of protect
ing lenses or dimming devices.
OF all the unexplainable things
on earth the attitude Of drivers OF
cars toward the headlight proposition
Is the least susceptible to explana..

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-(A. P1
State railway commissions of Ar
kansas and Minnesota have been or
dered by the Interstate commerce
commission to increase state passen-
! ger rates and excess baggage charges
to the level now prevailing in inter-
state commerce. The commission
held that the present charges in the
two states amounted to discrimina-
tion against interstate traffic.
Both Arkansas and Minnesota are
numbered among the 7 states who re-
fused to grant 20 per cent increase
in passenger fares last August to CON
form with the increase in interstate
traffic. and the decisions today mark
the first action TO be taken by the
commission since hearings were given
seven states here recently. The COM

the Northwest Passage and reach the
Atlantic Ocean but was halted by ad
