 To get an Idea from your own head into other heads, says Judge Gary, Is the chief work of man. When he was a young lawyer he used to say Give me judge that understands. That's all Ask.'
 As head of New Yorks public safety committee. Judge Gary puts three words. Don't Get hurt" in place of the usual long-winded warnings and pleadings.
 Don't get hurt" means something every human being has heard from { babyhood on. Make your meaning plain.
 NO sign of any drop in the high cost of living" says a high 4u hor- ity. Here's what ought 70 sign. Mir. Aisheimer. able German American farmer. works Peter Berg's farm, corner Front street and Barnum avenue, Heml .tead. Long Island. Two days ago he sold his new potatoes, best grade. for s1.a5 . barrel, the lowest price in his experience. What do you pay for your potatoes at retail.
 For milk that retails at 1s cents. ths farmer gets 4h cents or less. Thn xrohfA-- 1S sAf~ ~.kt.- |. 1ha extravagant cost of distribution, and no one pays any attention to it.

The President. with good judgment. has asked the road owners not to diminish the seniority rights of strikers when they return and presumably he will insist on it. The roads will obey the Sre denHI when they know Ne means 1t.
 Railroad owners would despise any workers that side with road ownership against their own ,rowd. and it Is perfectly natural.
 If America produces the best workers in the world. it is because the men are seifrespectins and loyal to each other-with the 3ocKet second. not first.
 Leonard and Tender. young rew- dsh prize fighters. fought on Thurs day. n any. intellectually above . microscephalic idiot, the fight was no more important than struggle between two rats in sewer.
 More than 10000 ''human'' beings paid $460,ooo to soc the undersised men jump around. hitting each others dull faces
 Neither fighter won. IL was per haps arranged that way. that the 10000 fools might come again. One of the fighters got tts1.zso. the other sso,ooo. the promoter of the fight got s15a7So.
 when the fight ended . terrific l storm arose. Five hundred years age tt would have Seea be- iievsd that the Divinity was pro- testing against brutal stupidity.
 The government bureau of stAn- | dards has perfected machine to test the wearing quality of cloth. It would be a good thing te test | with this machine all the :iaterial | that goes into clothing. including | the so-called 'purs wool" shoddy. | That might do more than . high l tariff to encourage sheep .aisinE | and wool production. especially if the clothing ware marked accord ing to the test.
 once Easoiins was worth cents . gallon to wash ink from type and for other humble work. The motor made it what 1t is today.
 Once platinum. produced chiefly In Russis. was worth about as much as gold. around sao an ounce. Now platinum. which has just jumped ss an ounce. is worth sss an ounce.
 Hard platinum is worth s1os- That's because it contains 10 per cent | of iridium, worth s1s5 an ounce. That's as cheap as coal. compared | with radium, There must be many | platinum deposits not yet found. Look for one.
 Debs wires to Lsnins protesting l against the execution of 22 socialists l It will probably do no good. The so- cialists in Russis are too nild: they | won't de.
 rhsoriss are like drink; you % from weak to stronger. Give . beer. he won't drink milk. Give htm wine. he dsspises beer. Give him brandy. he takes no wine. go with sooiai doctrines.
