If 1t Fits

The men may see lot more of the women than they ever did, but they do not understand them one whi. better
 When man prints a kiss on a modern girls lips We suppose he re- fers to it as the colored section of the press.
 A girl does not mind man being a little rough with her during the courting, but she just dares him to pull off any rough stuff after they are married.
 It may be fine to leave footprints in the sand of time, but you don't catch any married man leaving any on the front hall carpet.
 That fearful odor you will soon no tice is just the recent bridegrooms smoking the cigars their wives bought them at Christmas. You don't get the older married men go ing to such extremes to please their wives.
 It is even more trouble to try to raise one child these days than it used to be to raise six, so it is no wonder race suicide is so popular.
 Speaking of early rising, which we often do but seldom do. have you ever noticed that these child prodi- gies who rise so early in life are sell dom heard from later? They must go back to bed again. so to speak.
 It pays, they say to let sleeping dogs lie. and sometimes we think i; pays even more to let a doggone lie sleep.
 Some things go without saying. or course woman is not a thing.
 A timid and homely girl is always fearfully shocked at the daring things her vivacious companion vii.

BUSINESS MORE HOPEFUL.

Frightening of the outlook for business conditio as in the future is declared by Eastern financial insu tutions to be discernible today to greater extent than has been possible for many months past Tht attitude of hopefulness however, is not traceabe tC current surface but rather to realization o favorable changes of improvement in certain funt a. mental conditions which the business structure o tAe world founded.
 This view is taken in letter issued just pr ol to New Year by the First National Bank of Bos ol which said
 As the year-end approaches, an attitude of hopeful expectation toward business is clearly evident. This is not due to surface developments of the moment,-for the cur rent trade reports are not wholly favorable, but rather a gradual recognition of the fact that certain vital fundamental condi- tons underlying the worlds business struc- ture have measurably improved in months and give promise of more stable and absolutely essential foundation which healthy trade relations may be built
 As to the immediate present, retail trade on the whole has slaekened somewhat-bet ter for the department stores and poorer for the smaller retailers. While this slow ing-up has been partly due seasonal causes, there is noticeable a of disinclination to buy freely the part of the public. demand for still lower prices is quite evi- dent influenced by feeling of economy i1 some sections and dictated by sharply de- creased purchasing power in the agricultural regions
 In hides leather, shoes, wOolen and ten goods, demand has lost its edge. The manufacturer between uncertain demand and fuctuatng material prices, has a perpexing problem, narrow profits being the rule as a result of sharper competition. Ney- ertheless cotton, wooden and worsted m;lls are active, wool itself having improved its statistical position with attendant higher prices

Manipulating" the Direct Primary.
(Port Angeles Herald.


 The old story of, mo way to beat fellow at his own game,' holds in politics well as in any other thing. Just when the people thought they were beating the old politician at his own game through the agency of the direct primary they now discover this famous law in the interests of the dear people, is far easily manipulated than was the old convention system, and it is also much easier to fool the people with it.
 According to of those 'old timers" who claims to know the plan is worked out in about the follow ing manner: Take the county offices for instance, where competition there will be from three to ten candidates As the campaign progresses the 'od guard" by habit hangs together, and each can didate wanting the support of everybody naturally approaches this old guard
 There is why he should do this. He admits himself to be the best man for the office and feels that every person should support the best man for the place In the meantime all of the candidates being sounded out" to certain policies anu "other things
 A few days before election the word is passed around generally among the good fellows that and seems to have the lead and will make a good official and the job is done It's good deal easier and cheaper than working up the primaries for the convention and then winning hot fight in the convention This scheme works in the state

Stock Prices
Again, Uneven
In Quiet Trade
Interest Fiuctuafes From
Group to Group; Presi-
dents Message Has Little
Effect ON Shipping Stocks

Another uninspired session Of stock
trading yesterday left the general
price level slightly impaired from
| Mondays close. There was little in
crease In activity or interest and
fluctuations continued broadly irregu-
lar. Sporadic attempts were made by
professional operators to develop a
trend, but these were successful only
as they affected isolated groups of
/ stocks. The motor and sugar shares
| were favored for the advance in the
morning and later the can company
stocks were moved up. The general
list, however, remained unresponsive
to these displays, and, when in the
early afternoon call money was
marked up to 5h per cent, selling con-
centrated upon the leaders Of the En-
dustrial group achieved greater re-
suits. Even this effort was not sus-
! tanned, however, and the market be-
fore the finish returned 70 its vacil-
lating course.
President Harding's message to
Congress exerted little influence mar
ketwise because IL dealt with uues-
tion in which the Street has 90 far
found little to interest 1t. There ap-
peared 30 be some doubt as to whether
the ship subsidy bill, even with the
vigorous support Of the President,
could be forced through Congress and,

confidence that It will create an
American merchant marine. The ship
ing stocks were lower on the day and
hardly varied their quotation 40 the
tickers. Bond prices were irregular,
! but the tone Of the investment Sc
curities division Of trading was firmer
than was the case in the stock market
The short interest caught in the ad-
vance Of francs had been pretty we'll
cleaned up when dealings In the for
eign exchanges opened yesterday.
| Commercial requirements had also
been covered In volume on the upward
swing, The consequent tspering off
of buying interest knocked the support

reached on Monday and reaction of
considerable proportions followed.
Francs sold off to 7.12N cents, against
a previous final of 7.41h cents;
sterling dropped " cent; lire de-
clined 10 hundredths Of cent, and the
Continentals generally were lower.

Peruvian Guano Loan

Fresi, advices received in the hnan-

dicate that discussions looking to the
sale Of an issue of s1,25o,oOo bonds
secured by guano revenues may lead
to a fiotation shortly, either in the
London OF New York market. This
financing is independent Of the major
program for reconstruction OF Peru's
financial position, which has been un-
der discussion for we'll over a year and
is still pending before the Peruvian
Congress. 1t ia year ago this month
that an American banking commission
sailed for Lima to examine proposal
for $4,000 900 loan authorization and
possibly a $12,00o,00o to s15,000,0o0
issue. There has been much backing
and filling since and the latest report
in the series is that the total amount
involved will not be more than $20,-
900, 900, OF which $5,000,000 or $6,000,-
900 may be offered here within the next
six months.

Midvale.Bethlehem Merger Rumor

In the absence OF any official COM
ment yesterday on the latest merger
linking Midvale with Bethlehem Steel,
the Street was inclined to view the
suggestion with considerable skepei-
cism. The last time the subject OF
this particular consolidation was
brought to the attention Of Eugene
G, Grace he was emphatic in the as
sertion that Bethlehem had no thought
Of taking over Midvale. 1t was hinted
In some circles that as the latest mer-
ger runor was circulated coincident
with run-up Of Midvale stock to 81
it was rather encouraged by interests
which had been purchasers at even
higher prices. Tho terms now re-
ported to be the basis of Bethlehem
midvale negotiations were said 70
call for the exchange OF i.9o shares
Of Midvale for one of Bethlehem.
Whether the Federal Trade Commits
sion would look with favor or such q
consolidation was regarded as ex-
trenely doubtful.
