Women and a Water Drop
Counting Ford Chickens
Starving Children
The Shah Didn't Care
By Arthur Brisbane

County Clerk Niendorf, of Michigan,
issues with each marriage license ''Ten
Rules to Insure Happy Married Life
Here is a sample:
Keep UP the courtship period.
Go $3.50 on the money and $3.50
on the love. Don't live with rela-
tives or keep boarders. Don't be
a tightwad"
Such rules mean little. Every man
knows that one drop of salt water,
atiently stddied, will tell you all about
the Pacific ocean, which is simply a
collection of so many drops.
Marriages would last longer if men
realized that each woman is to all
women what drop of salt water is
to the ocean. Study, analyze, interest
yourself in the woman that the Lord
has assigned to you. One is enough.
and she has within her, if you will
look for it, everything that you would
find in ten thousand.
Democrats, counting chickens even
before the eggs are laid, say that
Ford, running independently, will take
so many farmers from the Republican
party as to make Democratic victory
certain.
Democrats forget that Ford's chief
plank will tell of the wonderful things
to be done for the south, at Muscle
Shoals.
Ford would draw farmers from the
Republican party, but he might also
break up the solid south, elect himself,
and leave Messrs. Coolidge and McAdoo
wondering what happened.
Investigation in New York shows
children underfed, understood. Their
parents need money TO pay high rents.
Landlords say, quite truly, "It isn't
our business. We are taxed; wages
and materials are up"
But it ought to be the city's busin-
ess, and if ought to be the business
of the entire white race, to see that
young children are fed and have a
chance.
The undernourished, children of Eur
ope today may mean Asiatics ruling
in Europe fifty years hence.
The English interfered with child
labor and child stunning, forbade the
starving of children that they might
be small enough for chimney sweeps,
when they found that they grew up
too small for the army.
In Germany the price of loaf of
bread jumps four hundred and forty
million marks in a day. That num-
Der of marks would have been one
hundred and ten million dollars be-
fore the war. No telling what will
happen to men, when their money goes
as crazy as that.
Even nature seems to be fighting
against miserable men. In South AT
RIGA, deadly drought and scorching
wind storms have dried up the water
supply, while locusts, in swarms, have
destroyed green plants. 1t is feared
that all cattle will die.
War, disease, earthquakes, droughts,
panics, tidal waves, and, worst
Of all, human beings and nations in
tent only on robbing and killing each |
other.
Certain philosophers have thought
that among planets there might lie
some very sick, as there are sick in
fividuals among human beings. This
mist be one of the sickest planets.
The Shah of Persia. invited to at
tend the Derby, said, mo, know one
horse can run faster than another and
I don't care which it is"
A hundred thousand who feel differ
emily attended the race between an
American horse and the British Derby |
winner. Many very likely laid their
first bet on a horse race because of
advertising the international
contest had.
If you failed to see the race comfort
with this thought: An auto /
mobile can be bought for less than
$500 that could run both of those
horses and a half dozen others to
