In 1919 the English were brought
face to face with a strike which
threatened to paralyze all land and
sea traffic. There was a general rush
of persons in all walks OF life to
fill the places of the strikers and the
tie1p soon ended. The Selma (Ala-)
Times-Journal wonders If the Ameri-
can people have the temperament to
deal with an emergency brought about
by q tieup of transportation which
the English people demonstrated.
What the American people would do
in such an emergency is uncertain,

HIGH CHAIR DAYS.
High chair days are the best of all,
Or SO they seem to me,
Days when tumbler and platter fall
And the King smiles merrily;
A Constant patter of music beat,
And the grown-ups bow in a gracious way
To the high-chair monarch who rules the
day.
High-ehair days, and the throne not
In golden or purple hues,
But an old style thing, let 1t be confessed,
His grandmother used to use;
But the king who sits on the chair Is
And he throws his rattle and silver cup
For the joy of making us pick them up.
The old high chair in the dining room
Is handsomer thing by far
Than the costly chairs in the lonely gloom
OF the chiIdless mansions are,
For the sweetest laughter the world has
Comes day by day from that humble
And the happiest tables, morn and night,
Have high chair placed at the mothers
right
The old high chair is 9! joy sublime.
Yet it brings us its hour Of pain.
For we've put It away from time to time,
Yet God was good, and the angels tapped,
And again was the old high-chair unwrap
And proud was when I heard the call
To bring it back to the dining hall.
Thru the years that lie ahead.
The proudest monarch must lose his place
And lie With the splendid dead;
I must pay with the bitter for all Iife's
But live in dread Of that coming day
When forever the high chair goes away.

Dorothy Dix Talks
Arc. You a Bore?A2.

No parent can recall ever having
been asked to repeat a story about the
prowess of his infant prodigies, or re-
quested for further details about the
affairs of her flapper daughter, and
jellybean son, and that should be a
tip that they are subjects in which the
public is not vitality interested.
Another bore of truly gigantic cali
Der is the repeater. Every family is
called upon to endure this affliction,
for no household is SO lucky as not
to have at least one member who tells
over and over the same stories, and
the same jokes, and the same remi-
screaming when he or she launches
out upon the familiar theme.
Perhaps when people get old, and
senile, they cannot prevent them
tales upon a defenseless public, but
surely as long as we have even a mod
crate use of our intelligence we might
keep tab on ourselves and refrain
from telling a story but once.
A third bore who does much to
reconcile US to the shortness of life
is the one who has a mania for read
ing aloud snatches of the paper, or
who reads a paper and tells you every
thing in it just after you have read
it yourself. Apparently these bores
consider you mentally defective, in
capable of understanding the purport
of what you have read. or else each
one imagines that he is the only in
dividual who was privileged to see
that particular issue of a publication.
Anyway, they recount to you the
news of the day, and expect you to
be startled by it. They rehash. the
scandals, and report the jokes, of
which they invariably lose the point
In vain you try to stay them off by
telling them that you have read half
a dozen papers before breakfast, and
that you subscribe to the funny, pa
pers. They go right along and repeat
it all over again, for the bore has no
bowels of compassion that make him
stop talking about the thing he is in
terested in because it is wearisome to
you.
Twin brother to the reading aloud
bore is the bore who explains the plot
of the play at the theater, and tells
you which is the villain and which is
the hero, and assures you that 1t will
all come out right in the end, under
the impression that you are feeble
minded, and couldn't figure it out for
yourself. People round about hiss
him but without avail, for nothing
stops bore until he runs down.
OF course there are many other
qualities that make us difficult to live
with, but these that 1 have mentioned
constitute the common, or garden va
riety of Dores. and we can all avoid
being one of these if we will.
