tomobile accidents.
THE latest thing in sports is the
i riding of surf boards by young
men and women up and down por-
tions of the Potomac river. Nearly
every afternoon some speed boat or
launch can be seen towing young
man or young woman standing on
one of these aquatic toboggans. Some
Of the riders are quite expert. while
others provide only comedy thrills.

A MAN breezed into my sanctum
n sanctorum the other day with a
kick against the railroads. He was
travelling to New York on hot day
and, like numerous Of the men in the
chair car, had removed his coat for
comfort, and, like the others. he had
on a very presentable and clean
shirt, wore no suspenders, his trou-
sers being held in place by belt. and
while he did not enjoy all the COM
forts of a cool costume such as the
ladies' in the car wore, low necks and
short sleeves. he was far more COM
Portable and quite as modestly garoed
as II he had worn his coat. When he
visited that always in summer hot
place the diner, the steward ADVISED
him that it was against the rules OF
the railroad company for man to
appear sans coat. Several ladies
kindly volunteered the information
that they saw nothing Objectionable
if he ate without being made uncom-
Portable by hot coat. The steward
wss firm and the traveller had to re-
trace his steps through Ave cars, get
and put on his coat or else go with
out luncheon. Odd. isn't it, you can
sit in one part of the train without
YOUR coat during a sweltering hot
day. but in another part you must
wear il.

are necessary.
There are embarrassments ahead
for this Chicago man, but doubtless
he has brought punishment on him.

be sure. what some may regard as
mitigation of his sentence in the fact
that the court issued another injunc-

in-law from visiting his house or in

fact remains that if any lady wishes
to put a check on the volatility of
her husband and can find complai-

be a more effective way. Whether
or not it would tend to increase do
mestic happiness is another matter.

The Treasury advises that present

has likewise circularizcd owners of the

should be made to acquaint Victory

NEW CONGRESS FAvORS
BONUS COMPENSATION
NEW YORK TIMES SAYS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.--"passage
of Bonus Indicated by Poll of New
| Congress-" is the heading of the New
| York Times, recently, over a tabula-
| ton of the standing of Senators and
Representatives following canvass
of the recently-clected membership.
The Times states "an over
whelming preponderance of new
members of the United States Senate"
The result Of the poll, coupled with
the record of votes of those who re.
main in congress, shows that adjust
ed compensation advocates in the
house are in Il position again to over
tide u veto If President Harding finds
the next bill no more satisfactory to
him than the last.
Assuming that reelected represent
tatives will vote on another veto the !
same way they did the last time, and |
counting the expressions of those new
representatives who replied to the
Times query, a tabulation of the re- |
suit gives 292 for adjusted compcnsa- |
ton and SO votes against, with ninety
mem bers unrepresentcd, either be- I
cause they are new members and did
not reply to the query. or because they
are old members and failed to vote on
the question.
The Times says the situation in the
senate Is more closely balanced, if .,
vote on the veto come up. The poll
gives sXty-thrcc senators for, ana
twcnty-Sercn against adpjusted COM
oensation, with three -committal,
