Romance of Daily Life

n EAL life is very daring and
N unconventional. 1t brings
- about most unthinkable COM
binations, invents impossible stu
ations, and stretches the "long
arm of coincidence" seemingly
recklessly.
No self-respecting novelist, see
mario writer for the films, or
dramatist would dare to use such
material. He would say sit ism It
true to life. ~
Suppose he were to make his
hero barber who is struck with
"a strange feeling of vaguely
knowing the patient under his
razor, one day. He cannet place
him, but finally in brushing the
mans hair notes a small scar near
the crown, and recognizes him as
his brother whom he had not seen
for twenty years.
OF course, it could not happen
in a book, but it did happen at
Atlantic City the other day.
Suppose Rider Haggard's hero
claimed to have seen a plesiosau-
rus on a strange, grim lake in
Patagonia. This venerable rep
tile, you remember, was about
thirty or forty feet long and
had a body like the hull of a
submarine, with four great pad
dies attached-the fore and hind
legs. This animal lived few
thousand or million years before
man appeared.
Suppose scientific expedition
equipped with the last word in
rifles went out to seek it, You
might praise Sir Riders inven-
ton, but you would smile at his
nerve. But such an expedition
has just started from the Ar
Igentine.
When next you see something
improbable on the screen, don't
sniff with superiority--it may be
a true story.

Our President
Is On Deck
NUR PRESIDENT has shown

Oh hIIkcibEX> uds buOWu
that he is the real Com
mander in Chief Of our
forces of defense and offense. AS
the direct result of his Influence,
the little navy men were
routed.
BY a vote of III to 129, an
amendment was adopted to the
Naval Appropriation bill wisely
increasing the navy personnel to
the $4,000 insisted upon as the
minimum by President Harding.
The Presidents letter to the
House plainly informed the ma
ton that, in his opinion, the 5-5-3
ratio established in the Naval
Treaty could not be maintained
by the United States with the
meager force of $1,000 men which
the "little navy" men had pro-
posed.
This effective action on the part
of the President is further evil
dence of his power over the Con-
gress. Mr.. Harding is to be con-
graduated for having used his
power in this instance to preserve
the dignity Of our country and
the working strength of our navy.
We are happy to commend
President Harding for a patriot
ism that is timely and telling and
that should serve all our citizens
as an inspiring example of the
ideal of AMERICA FIRST.
Even our deep desire to CO
operate toward the peace of the
world should not allow us to
weaken our national defenses.
Indeed, an America physically
and morally strong is our best
contribution toward universal
peace.
Now that President Harding
has shown how benefcent and
fairly compelling can be his in
fluence with the Congress, we
hope he will use it equally effec-
lively toward the passage of a
bonus law with the sales tax at
tachment.
