U

You people who have the time
and wherewith to think must realize
New Year resolutions have been
wrong 1921 years.
In the past we have solemnly
sworn to stop certain things.
In the future we should Solomon
Iy swear to start certain things.
1t Is simply a S of the atmos-
phere overcoming the hemisphere:
the positive taking the place of the
negative; or a similar something.
During these past 1921 times the
difficulty has been in finding simple
things to swear to start doing. 1t
| was easy to locate simple things not
to do. IA
You could swear not to make a
million and live up to it in spite of
all ~inclinations to the contrary.
You could swear off shooting e1e-
| plants and, without an uncommon
streak of bad luck, you shot nc ele-
plants.
You could swear off smoking,
which 0 had to do if you got any
! cigars for Christmas.
You could swear off cussing traf-
fe cops and not break it more than
once, or perhaps just half that often.
Finding simple things to swear
not to do has been as easy as con-
yincing a girl she is the exact image
of a movie star.
But finding simple things to
wear to do has been as hard as
convincing a bow-legged girl she is
knock-kneed.
Realizing the terrible shortage of
simple things to swear to do we are
giving away a list free.
This licf ia On aaGu a pnl1aoa grad.
uate can grasp it.
We even venture so far as to say
| your boss could understand several
of the minor suggestions.
1t is the only 1928 list of swears
that will stay sworn, we think.
Swear that you will go hungry If
| you have nothing to eat for a while.
That you will let it get dark every
night just after dusk.
That you will pay the coal dealer
what he asks you to pay.
That you will get wet If you stand
in the rain long enough.
That you will let congress forget
| why it was elected.
That, no matter how mad, you
will refuse to whip Jack Dempsey.
That you will let the sun continue
to rise just about sunup.
That (unless you are too rieh) you
will pay your taxes.
That you will let perpetual motion
remain a secret.
That you will let your colds get
well of their own accord.
That you will wear what the style
makers say wear.
: That you will let Wednesday come
between Tuesday and Thursday.
That you will kiss any girl who
wants you to kiss her.
That the missing link shall stay
missing as far as you are concerned.
That you will jump when your
wife tells you to jump.
That you will let Amundsen visit
the north pole for you.
That you will never insist there be
two nights without a day between.
That you will be behind with your
grocery bill.
That you will say this Is the worst
blankety blank country in the uni
verse even though you know it is
the best.
Our ninety-nine-year guarantee
that none of these resolutions will be
broken, no matter how fimsy they
are made. goes to every reader.
But what we started out to say
was Happy New Year."

n CONGRESS CAN DO

President Harding is right. He is beginning to realize now
Ahe force of President Wilson's argument when the latter was
battling with the senate, of which the present President was a
lember, that the handling of foreign affairs is the business OF the
xecutiye branch of the government and that congress only COM
ieates and binders matters by continually butting in. In the
resent instance congress has tied the hand OF the President and
len is inclined to find fault because he does not do anything.
The trouble with the Borah resolution calling for another
International conference at Washington is that there are too
any conferences already. The statesmen of the various countries
end nearly all their time travelling from place to place, discussing
lat, but never settling anything. 1t seems almost as II the more
icy talked the more complicated things became. There are al
adv commissions and boards galore to deal with all kinds OF
oblems, but they don't get anywhere.
n il pseless to argue now that had the League of Nations
n accepted in good faith with the United States as one Of the
sders in that body, there would be no need for all the confer
oces boards and commissions that are now holding forth. All
The problems Of the world would have been taken up by the
1eaQue and its decision would be final. But the refusal Oh the
United States to have anything to do with the league made 1t
practically a useless body as far as solving international problems
pf d political nature is concerned.
And it is the continual refusal of the United States to partlei-
vsata in any Of the conferences now going on IN Europe that makes
ernnossible any final settlement. The economic situation is at the
ottom Of all the trouble and it is the economic side of the world
roblems that the United States is the most interested. All
Europe owes us money and all Europe is on the verge OF bank
.uptcy. Yet the principal creditor stands aloof and insists on ms
pound Of flesh
If congress really wants to do something to clear up the
economical situation let it free the hands Of the administration
Is that the United States can "st in with the rest OF the nations
Il the meetings being held to consider these affairs. Let us quit
&ha nettv policy of having an observer present at these in
ternational gatherings, and appoint a real representative clothed
nth mower to act for the nation so that the United States can
lay 1 mans part in the affairs of the world.
President Harding has given congress something to think
in his letter to Senator Lodge. He does well to uphold the
,ratves of the executive branch Of the government in the
ling of foreign affairs and his suggestion that congress unite
= lands OF the administration so as to enable America to play
! f6a part in what is going on is the only step required of con-
NJ tie present time. If the President then refuses to act it
& Is time enough to pass resolutions pointing out his short

Twilight is daylight wAic

AZ. -L
A. Twilight is daylight which
continues after sunset. Light Is re-
fiected from the upper air till the
sun is about Is degrees below the
horizon but the duration of twilight
is manifestly much influenced by
the state of the atmosphere In low
latitudes, both on account OF the
quickness with which the sun ira
verses the IS degrees below the
horizon and because of the trans
pareney OF the atmosphere there 3

lasts from sunset to sunrise
G. Where did the two-thirds rule
originate in constitutional and par
liamentary law? c.. H. 7.
A. The two-thfrds rule may be
regarded as American in its origin
and grew out of the jealous vigif-
ance with which the smaller oom-
munities included in the Union RI
States sought to safeguard their pelI-
ticaI rights. The Constitution. for
example, in providing a two<thifd
vote of the Senate for conviction m
impeachment cases. secures to a
minority of the States as repre-
sented in the Senate the power to
decide the result.

What does the distant future hold in store for your 1t
depends on the seed you are sowing today.
Above you see a symbolic pen-picture by Artist Satter-
field. A small boy, dashing about breathlessy, has paused
before a giant, gnarled old oak. The oak awes him. He is
saying to himself: "Here's something i can't pull up by the
roots or break off, as l can a weed or small tree"
Few grown men could start chopping down this OLD OAK
without apprehensixe groans. Back of all this is food Tor
philosophical thought, also a semiclairvoyant message for
your future. 4.
For thousands of years, wise men have contemplated and
respected the oak tree as symbolic Of human deeds
The oak tree proves that mighty things can come from the
humblest start. "Great oaks from little acorns grew" Other
trees grow faster. But they die off, generation after genera
ton. while the oak lives on. It's growth is slow, but substan-
til and steadily increasing-like men building for a future
with foundations to make it endure.
Think of the oak, when discouraged by slow progress.
Great human careers, like the oak and Rome, are not built
in a day.
