Morning,
Judge!
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Who was it that said early mar
riages were better than none at all?
John T. Colston is but 20 years of
age. His wife, Hilda, is but Is. They
have been married ten months and
from their own testimony have been
having a very peaceful time.
A few days ago John saw his wife
talking to a boy on the Bladensburg
road and it made him feel peevish.
He forgot she was but a child and
would do rather ktddish things.
He ran up to her, the testimony
showed, and knocked her down and
then kicked her. A policeman saw
the act and locked him up.
IT hit her with my fist" John ad-
mitted, but I did not think it was
enough Of a to-do for the cop to run
up and crack me with his stick. 1t
was a very unimpOrtant affair as far
as I am concerned"
Hilda said she did not care what
the court did with him, except to
make him stay away from her.
The court did that by suspending
a ninety-day sentence on John with
the understanding that any more
wife beating would mean jail
Held for Grand Jury.

YER 1t had just arrived from the
flivorium in Detroit and reposed in

L street northwest.
Along came Henry Walker and
George Bolton, and. according to
the evidence against them, they took
the front wheels of the car and left
il in a very undignified position.
wheels before they got very far.
A charge of grand larceny was
made against them.
At the preliminary hearing
George blamed Henry and Henry
blamed George.
Henry explained that George got
him to help carry the wheels and
George said the very same thing
about Henry. Their stories did not
dovetail at all.
Judge Hardison decided that
enough Of a case had been made
out for the grand jury and held the
pair under $500 bond each.
Liquor Theft Punished Him.
In some mysterious manner Mar
tin Rand got hold of a pint of liquor
Of an ancient vintage.
He put the bottle in his inside
oyercoat pocket and hung the coat
up while he played a game of pool.
Just as he was nearly home that
evening he was arrested for trans
rorting liquor. When the policeman
3oked at the bottle there was only
faree fingers left in it. Some vandal

a family pet, copies of the original

other statistics-there is plenty of
room for more-for active use.

SIMPLE. YET HARD TO FOLLOW

eff your business falls on 90 per cent increase
pour selling effort rs per cent, is said TO have been the
advice Thomas A. Edison gave the dealers in Edison
output. That is simple, but carried out would remove
many of the complaints about dull business. 1t IS not
hard to sell goods when customers are clamoring for
them, but It takes q real salesman to sell goods to re-
luctant purchasers.
II Is related that a country automobile dealer out IN
the Dakotas for two or three years kept sending TO the
factory. whose cars he handled, his orders all winter
long. When other dealers were taking 1t easy and
waiting for spring to open up when they would get
busy. he urged his customers to buy even if snow was
on the ground because they would have the cars TO use
when the snow went off. The contrast between his
methods and that Of many others was noted al the fact
erv. One day he received a telegram asking him 70 90
10 the factory. He went fearfully, lest he had done
something TO offend. When he went back home II was
20 close his business and return as assistant manager Of
the company.
Perhaps statesmen are born. though we observe that
there are schools which train men in the principles OF
the calling. However. 1t would seem that while one
needs be q convincing talker he would need be just as
much an optimist and not easily discouraged. In
dustry certainly cuts e big dgure in that as IN anything
else. Dull times are psychological as we'll as real The
feeling that business going down hill is catching, II
il is not bucked against. Contesting the spread OF
such an idea may not stop it, but it is certain that Civ
ing It a shove by admitting it will not check It. It
NAV be that there are few who can be optimistic when
conditions are discouragtng and work with zeal when
the returns are Disappointing, but such are the real
winners in the long run.
Edison s advice does not involve any mysterious
formula. Perhaps those who regard il most seriously
would have acted without his suggestion Others may

woMAN,s DRESS HER AFFAIR

Jus when mere man got to going good in his CEN
sure Of the style of gowns worn by woman comes news
from Paris that a prominent designer has sent out his
L4annequins wearing gowns with skirts extending TO
the ankle. But what difference will that make as far
as male complaints are heard? There probably viii be
some other feature about the new dress that will prove
offensive TO the masculine mind. Such has been the
case for all time, and probably 1t always will be so.
The long skiFts-really long ones, the hem OF which
extended to the soes of the feet and farther-ars re-
membered by everyone no has reached the neighborhood
of middle age. OF their medesty there was not a bit Of
doubt and yet men complained. They swept the street
and why didn't women relieve themselves of such In
sanitary eontFaptieRs? as the complaint. Then came
d shorter skirt, ostepsibly TO be worn on wet days, the
rainy Daisy first hailed as a sensible innovation but
soon rousing the scorn OF man to the point where he
said that women who wore them looked like deWdies.
The style of dress now popular among women re-
Gently was commented upon by Rev. ]. Whitcemh
BFeugher Of Los Angeles. There is not one woman In
D million, he said, who would consent TO wear cos
tunes modelled by a bunch of preachers. 1t is best for
all concerned If the preachers look after their sermons
and let the women model their own shirtwaiss and skirts
And who will say he is not right? Why are women
not just as able to pass Judgment on what is modest and
sensible as men?

There Is food for thought in the statement of the
Manufacturers Record that the United States has one
Falf Of the worlds coal and iron area, one-haif ef the
worlds railroad mileage, t~wo-thirds of the worlds cot

of the worlds wealth, but only six per cent OF the worlds
population. Certainly there is no occasion for despond-
ency over the future OF America. All We need is a

these who are willing 70 work.

WIN ANOTHER HOLDS TIE PURSE

We note that the Democrats press Is clamoring for
a reduction Of Federal expenditures. During the Two
years following the armitsice, while the Wilson admins
,ration was still in power, the Republican Congress cut
Democratic demands for appropriations to the extent Of
50 500. 0oo. 600. and they did it without any approval
from the Democratic press. The Republicans Will con-
tinue to cut expenditures until they get back 10 a. near
4 pre-war level as possible, bu It is net likely that they
will be able TO cut enough to suit the Democrats, now
that the Democrats no longer have the spending Of the
money.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN

Contrary to general opinion there are more men
than women in America. Furthermore there has been
a majority Of the male sex since 1890. according to re-
ports OF the census bureau. In the 1920 census there
were recorded SO, 900,3 76 males and 5l,s1o,2A4 females.
4 ratio of 104 TO leo, In the previous census the ra-
ito was 1903 to 100. One of the interesting facts is
that. although the ratio has been as low as 1913 in de-
c-des in which there has been no war. there always has
been a decrease in males in a census following the term
nation of a war as compared to the one preceding tho
war. This, OF course. is what might be expected, but
is none the less an Illuminating fact.
The report explodes a popular belief that there are
not enough men to supply each woman with a husband,
which has been given as a reason for what is supposed
10 be prepon derance of old maids as 1t appears that
the old bachelors must be in the majority. No longer
can the unmarried state of some OF US be laid at the
door of inadequate supply to meet the demand until the
popular conception is reversed and made to state that
there is not enough women TO 90 around. Bachelors
nave long been credited with seeking a plausible ground
for explaining their matrimonial status and 1t seems
that the census reports furnish one.
