An Object Lesson for City
Administration

Editor The Tines would like 10 ask
some one In authority to explain why
50 much discrimination is shown In the
enforcement OF certain city ordinances.
1t appears there IS an ordinance pro-
hibiting the placing of any advertise
ment or banner that can be detached on
any vehicle using the city streets.
The writer is a poor man engaged IN
Legitimate business. and ct consider
able expense had curtains made that
could be attached to the sides and rear
OF his car, but so closely resembling
the body Of the car that they could not
be distinguished as being detachable ex-
cept on very close inspection. These
curtains were neatly painted and made
10 advertise his business, the same as
hundreds Of other business cars with
advertisements painted on them. and were
IN ..O sense ObJecuonaDie. 1t so hap
pened that while attaching them 10 his
car he was observed by an officer. who
compelled him 10 remove them at once
under threat of arrest An appeal 10 the
higher Officers only resulted In being
Informed that he would be arrested every
day II he drove his car with them on.
Now If this SIS the law have no OBJ
lection to observing It, provided tne
lsrger and Weather corporations who
have a pull" and influence are com
PEELED 10 do likewise. But the very day

taius I saw not less than three or four
cars belonging TO large concerns with
flaming banners stretched over the hoods
or attached to the rear OF cars aad
trucks advertising their private business
without mOlestauon on the part Of the
police
Politicians place huge and flaming ban
ners on the rear OF cars begging thc
PEOPLE 10 vote for them. and l have never
heard Of any of them being arrested
for doing so.
There are literally hundreds OF cars
using the streets every day with tire
covers advertising the different makes Of
tires and cars, attached TO the rear ana

LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
What They Mean
Did you dream of shoulders

Ina you cream OF shoulders!
II, upon awaking, all you should be
able to remember of your dream is
pair Of strong, broad shoulders which
you saw in the realm of shadows. then
you may account your dream to have
been one of fortunate omen-taking the
word of the mystics for it, of course.
Large shoulders seen in a dream are ac-
counted to be an omen of wealth and
heshy shoulders signify good luck
There is an exception to this, however
Should the dreamer be in prison at the
time the Specification is reversed and
dream of shoulders larger and more
plump than common. is an omen to the
prisoner of vexations, punishments and
sadness.
To dream that ones own shoulders are
bruised. or have boils on them, is an
omen Of a family qusrrel of a tempo
rary nature.
Thin, bent shoulders seen in a dream
are said to be indicative of many troubles
to be borne and overcome by the dreamer
and the same meaning is attached to
dream that ones own shoulders are in
that condition.
Either to see pair of broad, strong
shoulders in a dream, or to dream that
your own shoulders are broad and
strong, is an excellent omen for good
health and long life. ~
To dream of having a dislocated shoHlr
der, or of seeing another person with one,
is accounted a sure sign that you are soon
to hear some important or Very interest
ing news.-Copyright, 1920.

son to plunge into the strenuous work
of campaigning. He may be almost
well, but he is not a young man by
any means, and he lacks the strength
to 60 through another strenuous politi-
cal battle. Doctors have expressed the
opinion that any undue strain would
bring about a relapse s. which would
probably prove fatal"
And regardless of what decision the
president reaches, concludes the Age
Herald, 1.-THE disagreement between the
president and Mr.. Bryan will not be
closed. Whether Mr.. Wilson is third
term candidate or not, 1t seems newt
able that the league of nations will fig
ure in the campaign and split in the
ranks Of the Democratic party may be
the result"
The Minneapolis Tribune (RepD
frankly welcomes Mr.. Wilson's candi-
dacy on the league issue. It would
present clear-cut cleavage as to both
principle and personality" and the
Tribune is certain that there is no
compelling sentiment in favor Of the
precise thing the president demands of
the senate" The Rocky Mountain
News (Ind), while not convinced that
Mr.. Wilson will seek the nomination,
says that IF anybody supposes he will
deny himself the opportunity to take
hand in the convention, he is more
credulous than We" The News thinks
"the president may be relied upon to
spare no effort necessary 10 see that
the platform of his party and the man
it names to succeed him are committed
TO the vindication of his peace program,
To expect anything else would be abb
surd."
But unquestionably the most interest
ing suggestion comes from the Lexing-
ton Leader (Rep.), which foresees
Wilson and a wet platform" 1t points
out that Wilson has never been ener-
getically dry" and that while he would
not advocate rejection of the federal
amendment" still ''he might respond
to the widespread demand for a con-
gressional Interpretation of the. word
intoxicating, which would mean per
cent beer and red wine with a real
kick in it. Such a plank in the Dem
ocratic platform would be attractive to
states like New York, Ohio, Massachu-
sets and California so much so in
fact that there is no telling what
might happen"
But here again Mr.. Bryan's opposi-
ton would have to be reckoned with,
and, says the Leader IF a wet plank
is put into the platform he will either
kill it or lead revolt, the dimensions
Of which 1t is not easy at this time to

According to astrology this is not
favorable day for most activities. Jupi-
ter, Mars and Neptune are all in evil
place.
1t would seem from the readings of
the stars that many phases of fear are
likely to affect the human mind at this
time. Principally, anxiety concerning
business or financial affairs may cause
lack of enterprise and even serious re-
suits in the way of runs on banks.
The seers declare that there must be
period of general reaction from the
inflated values following the war, but
they, who are seeing, predict the
greatest commercial expansion and
wonderful development of national re-
sources.
The vets come under sway making

For this day manufacturers and mer-
chants should be very cautious
There is sign read as presaging
continuance of united efforts to reduce
the high cost of living by means of
frugality and the stoppage of all I'M
