ems nightgowns Will have long
sleeves hereafter. Nobody knows
how much that means to health, how
many fewer cases Of pneumonia.
When cold weather comes, instead
OF wearing armless, low-necked,
beribboned foolishness, women
should wear nightgowns Of canton
flannel, with ruffled sleeves tight
around the wrists TO protect the
Dig blood vessels. But they won't.
money, AZ per cent" You see
that in Wall Street letters this
morning. Anybody could borrow
money at Az per cent to gamble
In stocks. Try to borrow money
to invest in industry, giving work
to the idle, and see what you have
to pay.
Banks may lend their own money
for stock gambling or anything
else, as they choose. But Govern
ment should find a way to do as
well for farmers and business men
needing credit as banks do for
stock spectators.
A gathering of negroes, "Pan-
African Congress-" in London, de-
mands social equality" among
other things. It is a mistake: in
telligent colored people know it.
JUSTICE is what all men want.
Let society take care Of itself.
Coal miners would sound foolish
II they said, "We want fair treat
ment. We also insist that Mrs.
Astor and Mrs. Vanderbilt shall
receive us at Newport" That is
for Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Vanderbilt
to say. 1t is for the Government
to say that all shall have justice.
Colored people themselves know
that there is no such thing as social
equality. In--ons- OF their best
churches in Washington not long
ago q very dark lady cook was told
to sit in the back seat. The lighter
colored mulattoes were up in front.
Justice is enough: work for that.

Alphon1o, King Of Spain, in a
speech to his troops sent to fight
Moors in Africa, says: II regret,
as king, I cannot 20 with you, but
when you come under fire, your
king is beside you"
Not exactly "besioe" them. Even
the important officers are not be-
side them. If kings, statesmen and
generals were actually beside the
little fighters and petty officers
sent to the trencnes and out
against poison gas, there would be
less war.
When his men are kille& by
Moors across the Mediterranean,
the king will be playing polo, pass
ing on to the next royal incident.
Make kings and capitalists say
"Come and fight" instead of "GO
and fight" Then you'll see peace.
Jimmie" Hebron Is dead. He
was the doorman of old Delmonico's
In New York. Delmonico's paid
him 81 day to start. He accu-
mulated about million in tips
cash and Wall Street. Toward the
end, the Wall Street tips took the
cash. Hebron owned and rented
cabs, and believed it was his intelli-
gent conversation that made rich
Delmonico customers generous. 1t
wasn't. They liked Hebron's for
mula, confiding a good customer
to one of his drivers, Cali right,
whatever you do"
Jimmie" Hebron once lost his
mind, as the foolish saying goes.
After three years of incompetency,
he fell crossing a railroad track,
struck his head, and his reason
was restored. You have seen a man
shake his watch to start it going.
That is what happened to Hebron's
brain.
At gasoline stations you see the
sign Free Air" Higher up air
will soon not be free. Flying ma
chine traffic is to be regulated
by laws. Eventually, presumably,
fliers exceeding three hundred
miles an hour will have to stay
above a certain height.
There ought to be plenty of room
on road $4,000 miles long, $4,000
miles wide, with not bump or a
pebble the size of a penny on the
whole road. Think Of the saving,
with no friction but that Of the
air, no road mending or road build
