Illegible Signatures.

The cultivation of an illegible sig
nature, once considered safe guard
against forgery, has now come to be
recognized as an affectation which
falls far short of its intent. Hand
writing experts testify that an ILL
egible signature is challenge to
the forger, who often takes more
care in copying it than he would
take with an ordinary signature,
and thus comes nearer producing a
fair imitation of the genuine. THE
distinction of signature which only
a few persons can decipher is no
longer anything to speak of with
pride 1t arouses the suspicion that
the signer is wanting in candor
Many business houses are put to
a good deal of trouble and some fl
nancial loss by inability to make out
the signatures of correspondents.
In one New York Office in which
much correspondence is handled, the
policy of ignoring letters upon which
the signature of the writer can not
be made out has been adopted They
go into the waste paper basket on
the theory that they are to be clas-
sed with callers who refuse to iden-
tify themselves. This firm recon-
mends the army rule of typewriter
signatures under the real signatures.
If this is done, there is no chance
for mistake, and the correspondent
receives attention commensurate
with his effort to make himself
plain
The army system grew out of con-
fusion in orders, 1t was recognized
that there should be no chance for
error in the identify Of writer.
During the war when millions of
men were taken from commercial
pursuits into the maze of army pa
per work, they were quick to re-
cognize the advantage of typed or
plainly printed signatures under the
written signature, and the exten-
sion of this practice to civilian cor
respondence is tribute to the wis
dom of the army regulations. 1t is
small matter in time and trouble
but large in its contribution to thC
smooth and orderly conduct of busi-
ness.

Wild BILL REID
Still Winning
EASTERN fights

"Wild Bill" Reid, who fought in
Mountain Home and Boise couple
of years ago, is still mixing with the
good ones back east.
THE following notice of Bill is
clipped from a recent issue of the
Columbus, CO.. State Journal:
We don't know just why they
call Bill Reid "Wild Bill" There
was nothing wild about his battling
Monday night
Pitted against Homer Smith, a
real veteran and hard hitter, Reid
went at his job in workmanlike
manner and won by convincing
margin.
They felt each other out in the
first round and it was even. Reid
came out strong in the second and
landed his right flush to Smiths
law. Smith dropped for a nine
count and then rushed for cover on
arising. Reid pummeled him un-
mercifully but couldn't finish it.
Reid also took the third, fourth
and fifth. Smith rallied in the six
tb and took the round, but the
seventh was Reid's. The eighth was
even and the ninth was Smiths.
The tenth was even.
Reid has one of the most convins-
ing wallops seen in a Columbus ring
recently. He had Smith in bad
shape a number Of times and only
careful covering up sawed Homer
from a kayo.

French or English9

thought that French may not be us
ed at the disarmament conference,
For centuries French has been the
diplomatic language. The suggestion
of substituting English is incompre-
hensble to the French mind. Wasn't
French the language of the Paris
conference and the Hague confer
ences and Algeciras and Versailles?
And every other important interna-
tional conference for ages? Isn't
French today still the official Ian
guage for diplomatic intercourse be-
tween continental European nations?
Americans with their close ties of
eympathy and tradition with France
will be the first to deplore anything
that will deprive the world of the
stimulation of French thought and
the inspiration of French learning.
But their practical sense makes them
see advantages for the world at large
in the use of English as the language
for international transactions. They
cannot believe that this will stunt
the development of French intellee-
tuaI life nor that the world will
thereby be deprived of communion
with French ideas.
In the meanwhile however is there
any objection to making both Ems
lish and French official at the com
ing conference?

FEWER GOLDEN WEDDINGS
Late Marriages and the Divorce Courts
Reduce the Number of These
Anniversaries.

More and more infrequently with the
succeeding years do we read of the OBJ
servance of the golden wedding ami
versary. Memory recalls the time when
such celebrations were Of frequent Oc-
currence; when the sons and daugh-
tiers. grandchildren and often great
grandchildren gathered to honor and
felicitate those who had shared the
Joys and sorrows Of two-scOre-ten
years and invoke heavens blessing
upon them as they continued hand in
hand the journey toward life's sunset
This infrequency may be due in a
measure TO the present custom of mar
rying at later age than was the rule
several generations ago and 10 the fact
that we of the present seem to fall
earlier under the hand of the grim
reaper than did our sturdier ancestors.
But to the divorce evil may be accred-
tied the greater part Of the blame. The
present-day marriage is too often has
tily contracted, the parties thereto
fail to weigh carefully the response
bilities of married life, and the most
trivial differences sometimes lead TO
SEPARATION. The number Of couples
who live TO round out fifty years of
matrimonial companionship becomes
ever smaller and smaller.

she "hired out" as a cook. The first

employer sent Der to make some pur-
chases. She was hours returning and
as the distance was short, her employ
er grew rather anxious about her. She
came in about II 90.
where on earth have you been.
Aunt Martha?" was the question thar
greeted her.
Still showing plainly signs of men,
tai stress. she said: "Lawdy, ma'am,

CZECH WITH A SCOTCH NAME
Editor OF New York Has Lidu De-
scended From Rob Roys
Ciansmen.

If Harry Lauder were to read that a
MacGregor was one Of the leaders Of
Czecho- Slovakian thought in America
he would doubtless conclude that the
printer man had pied the type. Just tile
same it's a fact that the patronymic Of
B. C. Gregr, editor Of the New York
Bohemian daily, Has Lidu, is nothing
less than a Czecho-Slovak remnant Of
MacGregor.
And the answer Isl that one Of the
editors liveliest ancestors was an ad
yenturous Scot Of hetgreat Rob ROy's
clan who found his way to Bohemia
and stayed there.
The real Bohemia. Of New York.
quite unknown TO the pallid BOhemi-
ans who criticize life from the eIevu.
ton Of Greenwich village table d'hOre,
lies In the Seventies, between Second
avenue and the East river. Since the
war its inhabitants call themselves

Editor Gregr, whose forefathers for
got to hand him down Scotch accent.
and who wouldn't know how to say
"Hoot, mon" either IN Scotch or
C zecho-SIOvak, is a son Of renowned
Bohemian patriot who served for 10
years as a parliamentary representa-
tive of his people in the legislature Of
their Austro-Hungarian Oppressors.

dent Of international affairs and is
looked upon as a sage by the 100000
