ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Nancy and Mick bade the Squeedil-
lums goodby and started up the Elder
down Mountain. 1t was the middle
one of the Seven Mountains.
MY" SAID Nancy, looking all
around "It's all blue plush and as
soft as pillow. This will be en- easy
mountain, Nick"
But no sooner had she spoken than
she disappeared The soft blue sur
face of the mountain had caved in.
like snow drift does when you step
on it, and closed over the top OF
Nancy's head.
Mick stood stalk-still, not daring to
move or breathe scarcely, for fear of
going under, too! "Oh!" he whispered.
''Oh, oh, goodness, He clutchel the
record tightly as though 1t might save
him.
Suddenly the magic paper jumped
out of his pocket and spread itself out
flat against the record.
Then the red feather pen jumped
out of his other rocket and began to
write on the paper.
Turn around and run down the
mountain the way you came" wrote
the pen Nancy will come up on top
again in a minute, and you must call
to her to follow you Then wish your
selves up to the Weather Mans Star.
Tell Mr.. Sprinkle Blow, the Weather
Man, to send hard rain. When the
F'derdown Mountain gets wet it will
go fiat for il is stuffed with feathers.
Wish yourselves back to the same spot
and try it again" #
When the magic pen had ceased
writing it jumped back into Nick's
pocket and the magic paper followed.
| Nick obeyed instructions and ran
down to the foot of the soft blue'plush
mountain, which kept caving in at
every step.
Relieved of Nicks weight the noun.
tain sprang into nlace again, and
Nancy appeared. 'NMy, I'm nearly
dead" she coughed. Il thought was
gone for sure"
Come on down." called Nick. I'VE

FEW PROGRAM BILLS

Voters should feel relieved that most of the
measures it was proposed to initiate fell by the
wayside for want Of signers. This is a healthy
sign of the times. People are becoming suspici-
Gus of programs. The recent recall election set
the pace for defeating laws via the ballot route.
Now the electors have done even better-they
refuse to lend their names to laws in many in
stances that would only, produce chaos and bring
the states credit into disrepute.
AS long as the state has the initiative and ref
erendum features in it's constitution there will
be persistent efforts to secure the passage of laws
hastily drawn and often the product of some fac
tion or group of political officials.
It is safer to allow legislation to pass through
the legislative mill where some deliberation can
be had and an opportunity given to invoke the
veto power Laws placed on the statute books via
the initiative process are hard to repeal or amend
The popular vote gives them preference on the
statute books that they often do not deserve from
any standpoint of merit.
The contest in the approaching primaries will
not be confused materially by a multitude of laws
Voters usually find it hard to vote advisedly on
initiated laws and the fact that it is becoming
difficult to get signers to petitions is a hopeful
omen that the state is struggling back to nor
malcy.

THE FLAPPER'S SECRET

Lester F. Scott, secretary Of the Camp Fire
Girls, will tour westward from New York to see
how far this "Shifters" movement has spread.
"Shifters' is the secret organization Of he and
she fappers It started in New York among
high school students. Wanting pin-money, and
remembering Barnums maxim about one being
born every minute they formed a flirts' secret
society. "t
Members wear badges-brass clips. These, by
ritual code are worn in various combinations on
hat and other garments, signifying, II flirt," !"
''You can date me up for tonight" eyes, kiss, ;"
ct cetera ad jazzeum
A newly initiated member is told that he or she
has been stung and advised to pass the joke along
to others. ..n
The "Shifters" movement has spread like Wild
fire. all through the eastern cities The badge
makers are selling $500 day in New York City.
Providence flappers bought 10000 Of the brass
fraternity pins in week.
The "Shifters' has had a mushroom growth be-
cause any form of secret society thrills and Ey)-
notices the imagination of youth.
Fundamentally it is a gold brick, the initiation
fee running as high as 81 to Sc.
Officials of the Camp Fire Girls say they are
organizing against the "Shfters" largely because
they discover that it is causing poor girls to spend
their money unwisely, the movement now hooking
many girls who work for their own living, as we'll
as high school and college flappers.
The "Shifters" craze is the most peculiar psy-
Geological wave that has swept the country since
jazz music was imported from the underworld
dives of Buenos Aires.
While it may be based on a joke-the desire Of
the stung to pass the sting along-it has danger
GUS possibilities to the morals of American
youth. a,
It makes it's appeal by treading on very thin
and forbidden ice. That the nature of the bait
appeals to so many among the young should make
the grown-ups put on their thinking caps.
No matter how tolerant an observer may be, it
is obvious that something is psychically wrong
with large percentage of American youth
The solution is largely in outdoor sports and
more attention to children in the home.

REAL INDEMNITY

Germany lost 46 men killed and 100 wounded
for each hour of the World War.
She sent about 100000 into her armies. One
out of seven was killed in battle. Total casual
ties were 1,SO8,546 dead and 4,246,779 wounded.
These are the final figures just announced after
General Won Altrock's check-up.
Having buried her dead and patched up her
wounded, Germany slowly begins to pay the bill
for damages.
So far, the COW hasn't given much milk.
Slow payment has been partly due to the fact
that last December was the first month, since the
war, in which Germany had favorable balance
Of trade-exports exceeding imports, the only way
she can pay, not having enough gold.
Now her trade balance is rising gradually -
which means, more ability to pay, fortunate for
her creditors. Szt
Future generations, cured of war ;nsan ty, will
recognize this as the real German indemnify

n EINSTEIN
feSSlOn

The Einstein theory will be filmed to make it
easily understandable by movie audiences. This
is sensible When it comes to getting ideas across,
picture is at least 100 times as powerful as print
ed type.
Great discoveries, like the Enstein theory,
usually are as complex as the brains of theirorig-
nators But there is nothing so complex that it
cannot be interpreted simply enough for the aver
age mind to grasp it.
We all have master brains. Difficulty is in
decrhering the complicated codes.

WIRELESS

A good sign that the world is getting sensible
again: Invent an improved machine gun or other
implement of destruction and you won't get a
thousandth part as much attention as by discover
ing slight improvement for the wireless.

An outbreak of smallpox doesn't worry you as
much now as it did when father was a boy. It is
a dread disease, dangerous as ever, but it's being
rapidly stamped out. s,.

Americans as in 1902.
