seousntly. & void 6ssm advisable to
avoid hasty conausioa that the pre-
snt movomsnt forecasts : universal and
drastic drop In commodity prices II
may b. and very probably IL, merely an
oscillation OF the economic pendulum -
II begins to swing from the height It
reached during and ~ result Of the
war, although Il seems certain that We
have definitely passed the peak Of high

gradual readtustment with . view to sta
Utilization. There Is quite q much dan
ger from too accelerated and extreme
price reduction as there is from too high
prices and all their attendant evils.
Above all. we should remember that
permanent lower price level can be OBJ
tanned only as the resultant Of many
forces, some Of which seemingly are un-
related but all. nevertheless, working.
directly or indirectly, toward common
objective. namely. general economic
readjustment.
Perhaps more important than the saving in
dollars and cents Is the lesson that price re-
auctions has taught. 1t has been the common
thing to blame others for all our economic ills.
to complain that they were getting more money
and doing less work than vein short to pass
the buck and absolve ourselves from all re-
sponsibility.
The obvious connection between refusal
to purchase and the reduction in prices will
help to show the people the power they WELD
1t will bring them back to a realization that
their welfare now, as always, has been mainly
in their own hands and that by sticking and
working together and exercising ordinary COM
mon sense in their relations with others. in
buying and in adjustment Of industrial dis
putes they, and only they, can remedy present
economic ills.
Leaders long have been telling us, that the
only way out was to work and save. Perhaps
more people now will be able to get the point
carried in that simple advice.

President Wilson was entirely consistent
in vetoing the peace resolution and the reasons
he gave were sufficient. Congress. in passing
it, was looking no further than the national
election and relying upon the short-sightedness
OF the public to back its action. The president
sees further than next November. 1t is typi-
cal case Of politics versus craftsmanship.

Major Charles J. Glidden is nothing If not
ambitious. He's now promoting an aerial derby
to encircle the globe, consuming $50 hours
actual flying time and travelling $4,000 miles.
To the uninitiated the most extraordinary phase
Of the undertaking lies in circumnavigating this
25,000-1nile old earth in $4,000 miles.

~PULLNG LEATHER,

When he feels no inspiration.
When his muse is on the fritz,
When q horrid subluxation
Grips the spine Of his poor Wits;
When he sits there thinking, cropping
For . rime in his poor head.
Then the poor burned poets hoping
Some day he'll just sit instead.
Il must be a wondrous feeling
Just to sit and not to think;
Then ones brain would not be Keeling
On the well known nutty brink.
One would hear no readers curses
At ones lack of ready wit;
Not one thought Of daily verses
Not q thing to do but sit
Don't imagine he is kicking
This poor versifying cuss;
He's just having trouble sticking
On his broncho, Pegasus.
Don't be peeved or filled with sorrow
Cause today you're out OF luck,
But cheer up; perhaps tomorrow
Poor old Peg won't try to buck.

DOLORES.


Like Juanita, the Spanish Dolores
has gained extraordinary vogue in
this country. Indeed, it is now re-
garded as typically American. es-
pecially in the southwest where the
influence of the early Spanish set
tiers has been engraved for all
time. Its unfortunate translation
sorrows" has never checked its
vogue; rather, the opposite emo
ton has seemed to invest its bear
ers. Most Of the Dolores who have
come to this writer's notice have
been gay coquettes with laughing
eyes and lips.
The name is one Of Spanish
Catholic growth and was origin

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
10 years Of age and am correspond
ing with a fellow l have never
seen. 1t happened in a sad way, but
it may change to happiness.
He has sent me few photos of
himself and asked for mine in re-
turn, which did not refuse to send.
Do you think l did the proper
thing?
I have corresponded with him
for over year and he has always
sent me nice interesting letters.
He is living a rather lonesome life,
as his mother died when he was a
little boy. He lives about SIX hun
dred miles from here and has ask
ed for visit. Would this be
proper, or do you think l ought to
make an excuse?
My folks are thinking it may
spoil my chances after he leaves II
l let him come, for fear people
will think we are engaged. VIVA,
is your advice?
He is three years older than
am. Do you think it would be all
right for me to accept a box OF
candy from a fellow l have never
met? My brother was well &C.
Quainted with him for a few
months during army life. Then my
brother died. After that he has
written letters that prove to be re.
spectful. He has asked how
would like to live in the south with
him. but I have never answered hi
question. A DAILY READER.
Since the young man was Z
friend OF your brothers, 1t was al
right to correspond with him
under the circumstances and fol
him to send you his picture.
II he wants to visit you, let hin
come. People need not know who
he is and you can assure them thai
you are not engaged.
! 1t would be all right to accep,
candy from the youuK man.
