Ripping Rhymes
PAYING BILLS,
BY WALT MASON

One sport my jaded spirit thrills.
and warns me through and through;
it is the sport Of paying bills when
those same bills are due. All other
rastimes lose their charm as years
roll on their way, and old men, view
ing with alarm, observe their domes
are gray. Each month take my foun-
tain pen and make the green ink flow,
and write out checks for iron men to
every man I owe. And after that
push my car athwart the spangled lea,
or whack the golf balls near and far.
or practice archery. Sometimes I
make high ascent in airships or tal-
looms. but first pay the grocing gent
who sold me wholesome prunes. Some
times the polo graft try, and make a
record neat, but first pay the butch
ing guy who sold me useful meat.
When l have paid my monthly bills
feel moro honest pride than if I'd
scored q hundred kills where ducks
we're shot and died Oh, am fond of
outdoor games, and indoor games as
we'll; at blind mans buff I bust my
names, at checkers excel. All honest
sport my bosom fills with rapture, as
YOU guess; but paying up the monthly
bills like best. confess.

is a member Of the legislative visiting
committee and will be chairman of the
Senate finance committee.
1t is understood now that the plan
for handling the appropriation bills
early in the session will be carried out.
Members of the legislative visiting
committee are said to hold the view
that all Of this kind of work may be
finished within the first two weeks Of
the session thus leaving the work OF
the remainder of the session free of

back to other years when the sky was obscured,
and assert that the country is in far better posi-
ton to withstand the storm than it was then.
They recall that many fortune in America
has been made in the dark days when the faint
hearted lost courage and the brave dared to hold
on. They point to John D. Rockefeller's optimism
in buying oil properties when they were sold for
a song by weaklings. To Henry Clay Frick, who
laid the foundation of his fortune in the panic Of
1873, when his associates forsook the coke indus
try. To Andrew Carnegie who never lost faith
in the steel industry, but bought when others
were willing to sell valuable properties for small
sums.
1t is easy to be courageous when danger does
not threaten, but it tests your mettle to keep on
advancing when the battle seems to be against
you. Now is the time when cool-headed Ameri-
cans will believe that depressions are just as
normal as are booms and when the wise ones,
after eliminating pessimism from their hearts,
will prepare to increase their wealth by taking
advantage of offerings.
If you believed on last New Years Day that
the season of prosperity would last forever, that
there was no end in sight, and have in the mean
time become pessimist because your faith was
rudely shattered, the time is here now to believe
that the season Of depression also will terminate
and be succeeded by period of prosperity.
Booms and depression follow each other in sue
cession. If we keep that in mind, we will never
be carried away from the safe mornings of con-
servative methods in boom period or be hope
lessly mired in period of depression.

Starting the New Year Right

Last year saw the American people moving
farther>and farther from the principles of sound
economics. The repeated admonition of finan-
ciers and bankers against prodigal expenditures
and the dangers of over-production were heed
lessly disregarded as the warnings of pessimists.
The exuberance of the public was not based on a
sound analysis of conditions or justified by the
outlook
The year 1921 opens with an outlook that is
infinitely sounder, if it does not seem so to
many. The orgy of wild spending has given way
to conservative buying for present needs. Sur
plus money has been laid aside for the rainy day.
Farsighted men and women are optimistic over
conditions of improvement which they see dawn
ing. The period of depression, in their estima-
ton, will presently give way to prosperity.
For them America is still land of opportun-
ity where energy and enterprise are rewarded
abundantly. Occasional periods of depression,
they say, are only the natural and normal mani
festations in the history of business. They point

Good Evening

A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE


An eastern
City health commissioner
Said the other-day, in the paper,
That smoking in the restaurants
Should be stopped forthwith.
Because the smoke is very
Disagreeable to other people,
And 1t would tend to help along
The crusade against tobacco,
And that would be a shame
Because tobacco is consolation
To a great many men
Who do brain work and follow
Other sorts Of labor.
We thought This argument good,
And the next night, in cafe,
We. saw sweet young thing
Putting contentedly at
A monogrammed cigaret.
So we tried docs system
And went and told the young lady
That she should not smoke
In a restaurant, and she said:
"Why, you big boob Huh!
How do you get that way?"
And she called her escort,
A college football hero, and said:
George, this bird has insulted me
BY advising me not to smoke.
He is one of those reformers."
The entire restaurant rose en- masse
And chased us as far as the subway.
We still believe doc is right,
But he'll have to go it alone.
We can hardly refer to it as an old
fashioned winter, with prices where
they are.
Secretary of State Is at Sea-
Headline. He should feel perfectly at
home.
Chicago woman left $4,000 in her
will to care for pet dog. The dog
will eat regular meals at table and will
have a Christmas tree lighted with
candles. And still some people won
der at the present crime wave.
Those new 81 bills don't seem to
accomplish much more than the old
ones did.
Newark lady abandoned baby in tel
ephone booth. 1t is surprising that
she found one without a citizen asleep
in it waiting for a number.

Answers. to Questions

PupiI-What was the ARK OF the
Covenant?"-TheA Ark Of the Covenant
was the sacred chest made of acacia
wood, which, according to the Hebrew
Scriptures, the Lord directed Moses
to make to contain the two tablets of
the law which he had received on
Mount Sinai. 1t was four and one-half
feet long, two and one-fourth feet
wide, and two and one-fourth feet
high. 1t was covered within and with
out with gold and was carried by
slaves inserted in the rings in the
corners. The Ark of the Covenant
was the most precious possession Of
the Israelites. 1t was placed in the
inner sanctum of the holy of holes
in the tabernacle and later in SIM
liar position in Solomon's temple.
Interested--A says that the cadets
at West Point have to pay for their
own uniforms and board. B says that
everything is given to them free.
Which is right?-Both are, in a sense,
right. The cadets receive from the
government $1,o28.20 a year, and out
of that they pay their own expenses.
This is said to be enough, where the
