THE NUISANCE OF BEING A TWIN

"How marvellous it must be to have twin sister," gushed the easily enthusias- tic girl

 "But it must be interesting, at least. Don't people constantly mistake you for each other+'
 "They do That's the worst part of the nuisance. Some of the bitterest mem- ofies of my childhood rise from that very source.

FIGHTING THE SUBSIDY,

Just how much opposition to the pro- posed subsidy for the merchant marine is going to develop cannot always be told by the amount of propaganda that is put forth. The idea of subsidy for ships hasn't gained much support in the past, but it has never been put forth under the conditions which it is today.
 Perhaps one of the strange things is that the idea of stimulating shipping activity and increasing our tonnage on the high seas, rather than paying quite as much for keeping it at anchor, should get the proclaimed opposition from the farm group of repr esentatives in congress. It cannot be that they are willing to give support to legislation only if it concerns the farmers directly. And yet it is to be realized that indi- rectly benefits from the aided merchant marine are in the interests of the far mer as well as others.
 The idea of a subsidy isn't anything to cause the throwing up of hands. It may not have been called such, but Act ing Chairman Edmonds of the merchant marine bill points out that the farmers very existence on the farms was made possible by a subsidy"
 When he calls attention to some suct subsidies as $2SS,o0O,ooO in ten year. for manufacturers, merch ants and farGH CTS for river improvements. $500, ,o00, ,00t for good roads for country dwellers ant farmers, 200.o0o,0 acres of public do main land for the railroads and farm CTS, nearly $SO,Ooe,OoO annually fol stock raisers and farmers for eradicat | ing plant and cattle diseases, to sa. nothing of rural free delivery, radi' weather and crop reports he may tu-i some thought in a direction where might well have but probably has 10 ceen turned.

 "The wanachs of this Switzerland-like land which helps, by 22Q00 square miles and three million people, to double the area and population of the new Rumania have long been more Rumanian than the Rumanians themselves. Living in the yer dant valleys of many barrier mountains they preserved racial purity with such jealousy that a maiden lost caste, if she married a Wallach who lived too far from her own home.
 Only such a loyalty could have pre- served a national and race consciousness in an area where at least six different nationalities contend for supremacy and where religions range from icon worship to abstract UnItarianism.

CARE AT CROSSINGS,

Every state has it's grade crossing problems, and yet there is similarity about them with some much worse than others. In the state of New Hampshire the public service commits sion has just ordered the establishment of ar, automatic signaling device al Newhelds, and in doing so 1t takes the opportunity to point out that, Tt is jus' as much the duty of the traveller to ex' ercise due care to avoid accidents al railroad crossings as it is the duty ol the rai1road to exercise such care"
 The situation in New Hampshire il no different than it is elsewhere. Rail road crossings are dangerous. Some ar' more dangerous t.>An others, but thert isn't a grade crossing at which ther' should not be care exercised by al those using it. If this were done, ant proper attention paid to the warninl signs, or signals there would be tn much desired reduction in fatalities tha occur at such poincS.
 Care will do much in overcoming ba' conditions, and yet it is only proper, the New Hampshire commission empha sizes in it's action in ordering an auto matic signal, that humanity should ge additional protection at bad crossings.
 There are places which need auto matic signals more than others. Ther are points where crossing tenders ar needed and there are those which de serve to be eliminated because of tn great use by both the travelling publ; and the railroad, and yet there canne be overlooked the personal responsibi Ity which needs to be exercised at sue points.
 The familiar "Stop, Look, Listen should be regarded as something mo1 than a railroad advertisement, and wit a bell ringing, or bright light show at the approaching of a train comma sense should direct increased cautio Those who persist not only in disr garding such signals and f1agmen, bl in knocking down crossing tenders aI crashing through lowered gates are di playing a recklessess for. which the Is not the least justification.
 The view of the New Hampshire con mission is amply endorsed by those col Cerns who direct their drivers not
 cross a railroad track without fir bringing their car to a full stop ar making sure that no train is coming.

oBREGor.s BAD BREAK.

When President Obregon of Mexico protested against the United States in luencing legislation in his country he took occasion to spread 1t among the Central American countries for the pur- pose of disclosing what might be paint ed as being an unworthy act. When Secretary Hughes gave out the various communications and explained the sit uation it placed an entirely different light upon the matter than would other wise be gained from the Mexican presi- dents statement.
 This government has not been en- deavoring to meddle in Mexican legis- lation. There have been efforts on the part of the two governments to improve their relations, and the indications are that Mexico has been endeavoring to so change one article of it's constitution affecting the rights of Americans and other foreign subjects so that this gov ernment might extend recognition to it In the drafting of proposed changes one was submitted to the American charge at Mexico City and by him to the statr department. the understanding being that it was for the purpose of getting the opinion of this government regard. Ing it. On that ground and that ground alone did the state department express Hn opinion. and 1t was under those cir. cumstances that obregon put forth hi. protest. When the whole matter, in stead of obregon's side alone, is heard the situation is entirely changed.
 In the endeavor to so change it's con stitution as to comply with require ments which they are planning to mee there is nothing unreasonable in sound Ing the sentiment of this government o. proposed legislation. And when aske, under those conditions there is no i'm propriety in pointing out what migh still stand in the way of this eountr, granting recognition. If Mexico is de sirous of reconciling the differences ex lsting between the countries and ren1ov Ing the obstacles that prevent recoSni ton he has made a serious mistake il fndeavoring to maintain that the Unite States is trying to direct Mexican leg tslation. His protest becomes nothin more than a representation of Wha his government did.

 At another time his father was telling about, transacting some business with a woman and said: "She is so ignorant she doesn't know anything" William looked up and said Reckon she knows how to cook, doesn't she?'
 One day Williams nurse was ready tc give him a bath. She called to him tc come and he said: wait a minute 1 Again she asked him why he didn't come and he replied, "I am trying to make my minute as long as morn's"
