 ence with Harding.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Extension of disqualification facilities to World War veterans by the purchase or erection of at least three additional hospitals, was urged upon President Harding by Col. C. R. Forbes, dlrec- tor of the United States Veterans Bureau.
 The plan, which Colonel Forbes said receited the hearty approval of the President, includes the taking over by the ve.erans bureau of the Coster Island Naval Hospital at New port, R. l.; purchase or erection Of a large hospital for tubercular patients in the metropolitan district of New York. and of another large mental hosri.al on the Pacific Coast.
 There are at least 2,400 former service men suffering from mental disorders in California, Colonel Forbes said, and the number of such patients is increasing. The director proposes that for their treatment a hos ;tal be acquired either in San Francisco, where shipping board housing project may be available, or at Los Angeles. Such hospital would be separate from the tubecular | institution at Palo Alto.
 Colonel Forbes said that President Harding backed in it's entirety the veterans plan and approved also the vocational training universities plan. He agreed witht Colonel Forbes | it was said. that before additional soldier universities are founded ir wartime camps that the soldier uni versity at Camp Sherman. Chilli cothe.

Love Laughs at Locks and Locksmith:

HICAGO.-A love affair between V a Jail guard and a woman prison CT and her escape from the Cleveland wOrkhOuse figured in the arrest of John Whitmore, fifty-three years old.
 The story began two years ago, ac- cording to the detectives, when Whit more was guard at the Cleveland House of Correction and Mrs. Ger trude Staples. twenty-six years old, was serving a sentence for bigamy.
 Whitmore became infatuated with the woman, planned and effected her escape, and then got her position as a maid. The guard visited her in her new home, but a subtle change had come over her. Her lips were not so willing as before, and her glances, often averted, seemed to have lost some of their fire. Could her heart, perhaps, have been with one of her husbands?
 Johns worst fears were realized one evening when he found Gertrude had left suddenly for Chicago.
 For a time WhitmOre had no knowl- edge of her whereabouts. but several days ago, learning that she was living

Pelican Out of Place in Yellowstone

V YELLOWSTONE N FIONA L A PARK.-Excitemen Is rife in the wild animal community of the park since the scandal about Mir Pelican received public attention. The ducks are Quacking about 1t, the squirrels are chattering 1t and the bobcats are broadcasting 1t in their shrill voices. Mir. Pelican maintains his stately mien, seemingly unconscious of the gibes of the multitude.
 His trouble started with the charge by Prof. Henry B. Ward, head of the department of zoology of the Univer- sity of Illinois, that he is trout ''hog" and violator of all the tenets of good sportsmanship. Professor Ward is conducting an exhaustive in vestigation for the federal bureau of fisheries at Lake Yellowstone In Yel- lowstone National park as to the re- lationship between the pelican and the trout supply.
 The flock of pelicans that live and breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers about 4OO They summer" aristo- cratically at the lake, feasting on the best the land affords from spring un- til September, then go to their win ter resorts along the Gulf of Mexico

Use of the Lady's Thumb in Dancing

Maj. Ned Gaynor, who is eighty years old and dean of the latter or ganization, said that the approved po- sition in dancing for the lady was when the latter has her left thumb against the right shoulder.
 Miss Walz sneered at the majors idea of the use of thumbs. She of fered to demonstrate. The most graceful reporter seized Miss Walz with his right arm, snatched her to himself, and to the tune of "Kitten on the Keys" streaming from q phono- graph, executed what is known south of Fourteenth street as the Summer Squash"
 You will observe" gasped Miss Walz, "that when I (gasp, gasp), try pressing back my escort by exerting pressure (gasp) with my thumb upon his shoulder that I merely enrage him and he (gasp) hugs me tighter.
 "But when I place the thumb thus" and here she moved the ball of her thumb to the tip of the grace full reporters nose "-and press up- ward vigorously he steps back. And If I move my thumb to my partners eye and press and turn at the same time I am free"
 The graceful reporter was helped to a chair and Miss Walz proceeded to describe her latest dance inventions.

Uncommon Sense jS7x sY sl1Kf
HONESTY

A TEN-DOLLAR bill is either good 4 \ or bad. A man Is either honest or dishonest.
 If he is honest he will not cheat or steal, or take undue advantage of an other man, under any circumstances.
 If he is dishonest, his cheating and stealing will be limited only by his opportunity or his timidity.
 The difference between big thieves and little crooks is sometimes a diff ference of oppOrtunity-mOre often a difference of courage a
 The little thief doesn't steal con- tinually because he is afraid to. The big thief has less timidity-or less imagination, and steals whenever he has a chance.
 But one Is just as dishonest as the other. And often the little fellow is the worse, for he adds cowardice to his crookedness.
 A full-grown man or woman, trained in life who does a dishonest action, will do another under the same cir cumstances.
 A boy or girl. lacking this training will sometimes become straight with the growth of intelligence.
 For the ancient adage about hon. esty being the best policy Is so ap- parent to common sense that even peo- pie who are mentally crooked often turn honest and remain honest, mere ly because more profit can be had in that manner of life.
 It Is well to apply the honesty test to yourself, and change your method If you find that under certain circum- stances you would take advantage of a fellow creature-legally or ille- gally.
 It Is we'll to drop friends that you catch cheating at cards or at golf, or in business. For the cheat Is par

streams are concerned, this means ex- clusiveiy on trout. He estimates that the 400 pelicans consume more trout than are taken during an entire sea- son by sportsmen.
 The pelican is no respecter of size limits or open seasons, Professor Ward charges. He declared he had seen platoon of 36 pelicans ranged across a stream in regular formation, prey ing on the trout as they swan up to spawn. Hitherto the stream had yielded trout eggs by the millions but hatchery men this year could gather only a fraction of the normal amount.
 The fact is granted that Mir Peli- cans home life Is above reproach. He is a good provider, good hus- band and father and is strictly homogeneous.

not all bad" and that he would Tiff her up"
 A Galveston sea captain would take her far out on the briny deep so she could forget the past. A widower of San Diego is certain she would make a good pal" A convict in the San Quentin (Cal) prison writes that he is doing fancywork and will soon have 800, enough to get divorce.
 Six hundred of the letters are from heart-wrecked girls who see simili- tude in their cases to hers.
 Apparently all these ardent suitors take it for granted that the pretty killer will be given her freedom by a jury. Otherwise of course, mar riage with her would be more or less unsatisfactory-even if safe.
 Well. it's likely she will not be found guilty of murder in the first degree.
 Peggy, when she is given a pre- liminary hearing in about two weeks, intends to testify she shot her heart breaking lover, first, to save other girls from him, and, second, because he deceived her.

The Friendly Path By WALTER I. ROBINSON
SIN AND CITIES

DON'T blame sin on the cities.
 No community Is ever better than the people within it. If the peo- pie are honest, GOd-fearing, law-abid ing and live up to the teachings of their churches, regardless of denomi nation, they'll find little cause for com plaint no matter where they live. But when they know what is right and don't do It or don't insist on others following the best pathway, they are likely to be disgruntled with condi. tions which they bring upon them selves.
 We know great deal about most of the big cities, but we know just as much of the small towns and open country, and proportionately we be lieve, there Is no difference In the volume of wrong doing And we con- fidently believe that if people hailing from the small towns and country would be as devout to the cause of right as they claim to be when they come into large communities, the blotches on cities regulations would be much fewer than they are.
 It is true that there are many more amusements and inducements in big towns which are likely to divert new comers' attention from church work and home life. But none of these will lead people from the proper pathway unless they are willing to be led. Even cOmmercialiZed amusements on the Sabbath will have no harmful effects on those who know they are wrong, if they wish cOnscientiously to follow the safe pathway.
 Remove from every big city the sin ners who rush in from small places for hiding and the police and uplift workers would find little work neces- sary in order to preserve the stand ards of morality and honesty which are so greatly to be desired.
 Able ministers, fine churches, edu- catiOnal opportunities, science, inven- tiOn and commercial and industrial progress of the cities are the kind of inspirations which should make the world in general more happy, comfort able and thankful to God.

Something to Think About
 pE A n1A,fEp

is extremely difficult, but with a heart filled with struggling radi- ancy of faith, sustained by qualities which only faith can give us, we can do it, and reach the state of tranquil content which comes quiet ly to the earnest and sincere, like the sunshine of morning after a night of storm.
 We may clap our hands to the heights but we cannot reach them except by our own unceasing en- deavOr.
 We must expect tired, bruised feet, we must anticipate slips and falls and a sickening sense of our own in- firmities, but we must keep climbing keep holding fast all the while to the hand of shining-eyed Faith, who, in spite of our unworthiness, will lead us hour by hour to higher ground.
 There are many ways in which we may help ourselves, but not until our hearts have been properly attuned to the dominant key and kept in tune.
 Hard work. high thinking and a charitable attitude towards others will be found helpful attendants, for with out their first aids no man or woman however accomplished or exalted. can hope to emerge from the shadows and write an acceptable record of we'll spent life.

FROM THE SHADOWS

THE man or woman who smiles A upon us from the lowly cottage door. ever ready to offer a helping hand to the unfortunate and to give cheerful encouragement to the weary, has, through tenderness and love, found the way to sunshine that grows brighter and brighter until the end of life.
 The dismal panorama of dark clouds has drifted away from the sky and nothing remains but the crys- tai depths of benevolent blue.
 Despair has yielded to confidence, but not without first marking it's exit with sorrows and tears, and perhaps also ragged dlshonor. thus fitting the soul for the comforting change.
 Firing. thoughtless, selfish, un- true, and living in the valleys of darkness while the beauties of Ma ture were striving for mastery, the shadowed soul found it difficult to rise to the glorious heights where the atmosphere was sweet and pure.
 If, when you are in the shadows, you expect an angel from heaven to come to earth and lead you away to a blissful elysium, you will find that you are still living among shadOwy delusions.

ticularly despicable form of crook. and deserves no friends whatever.
 Never think that a man or a woman is a little dishonest, or dishonest about some things and honest about others.
 They are 100 per cent honest or not honest at all. They are honest in everything or honest In nothing.
 If they are honest, as we believe most people are, they are worthy to be trusted. If they are dishonest, knowing what dishonesty means, the wider berth you give them the better 1t will be for you.
