BULLISH PROPHECY

Frank Vanderlip, one of the nations foremost fin
anciers after looking at business conditions for
time from the outside, says:
Il am bullish on America and bearsh on Europe,
see nothing at home that sprout and grow into
obstruction. With Europe it is different l do not
believe conditions abroad will improve this year, and
perhaps for several years.
Russia is not Europes worst problem, he thinks
Germany is. There be no European revival unless
Germany prospers and pays her war debts But Amer
lea can get along pretty we'll even while Europe is in
the doldrums.
Everybody is working now, and that is the truest
test of prosperity. It contentment and plenty
of money circulating. And this time at least, he be-
leves it does not mean initiation. He no signs of
the foolish overreachng that marked the late lament
ed boom and invited the slump. Prices, generally
speaking, being held within reasonable limits. So
is credit. The Federal Reserve acts brake This
is probably trustworthy view of the situation
be obtained 1t promises we'll for the next year
two in spite of foreign clouds.
There is one curious omission, though Mr.. Wander
lip says nothing about the farmer He is not pros
pering yet anywhere near as fully other classes
and it is doubtful whether ne can until the foreign
market picks up. And unless the American farmer
prospers, there is bound to be limit to industrial
prosperity, because the farmer is the principal buyer
of industrial products.

when they don't care to eat them
right away, and often they forget
where the nuts are hidden.
"Have you found any yet, John

"No have youi" inquired john

"Not a one,' answered the bun

ooh, yes, I'm sure l did. Let

But whether any nuts were hid

else was, hidden there, and it was
the bad Bob Cat. The Bob Cat was
cut early that morning, looking for
ears. And when he saw Uncle Wig
gily and Johnnie coming toward the
nut grove, the Bob Cat said:
ON dig a hole III the leaves and
hide myself. And when they get
here I'll jump out and grab Uncle
Wiggily.'' SO the Bob Cat hid
himself under the leaves and brown,
dried pine needles.
Then, all of sudden, as Johnnie
was poking around among the leaves
he uncovered something that, at

SYSTEMS THAT FAIL

The failure to obtain any convictions for the MUIR
ders committed last summer at Herrin, H., has led
many to the conclusion that the American jury sys-
is failure 1t does look that way, when the facts
OF the and the desrabty of punishment are con-
sidered. Unconvinced prejudiced jurors are per-
mtted to thwart justice and shame their county and
state.
AT the same time the failure of the women's min
imum wage law to obtain the approval OF the United
States Supreme Court is moving some critics to say
that American judge system is failure. And 1t
must be admitted that there seems to be come cause
for such criticism in involving principle OF
human rights and protection for the weak which many
citizens regard sacred What, they ask, Is mere
technical of normal rights of contract, compared
with the real principle at issue here? Yet majority
of judges able to nufy this will OF elected Con-
gress, which directly represents the nation.
Yet it is well not to make any such hasty concus-
ions. No human system always works, because the
best or wiSest man will make occasional mistake.
These cases. if they cause for such drastic crit
ciSm, must be recognized exceptional. 1t must be
recognized that juries and judges, IN every court
room in the land, do succeed day III and day out IN
doing substantial jushce-that the big MAJ jorlty
of decisions commend themselves without argument
to the litigants and publichat it is only the occas
iona case that arouses criticism.
The systems themselves are sound. The only ques-
ton is whether they might not be improved by some
slight notifications, such torbddng one or two
jurors to hang up jury and forbiddlng bare
majority of judges to declare law of Congress
constitutional, without recourse

MRS. MEADOWS
SAYS SHE WAS
NOT GUILTY"

Members of the recorder s office
force at the county courthouse are
having considerable fun today at
the expense of Mrs. Hazel Meadows,
chief deputy recorder. In the Los
Angeles and several Imperial Val
ley accounts of the Campbcll-Davis
case Saturday, it was stated that
the youths were escorted to San
Quentin prison, by Deputy Shcriffs
Underwood, Nice and Meadows. 1t
happens, as stated in Saturday S
Press, that Arthur Leonard was the
third deputy. Mrs. Meadows is a
deputy sheriff right enough, but
claims that She has not vet reached
the stage of proficiency where she
is capable of escorting "hard boil-
ed' murderers to prison.

Uncle Wiggly Helps Johnnie Look


Whoo! Hoo: Whoo!' called
o. jolly voice outside the hollow
stump bungalow one morning.
"Nurse Jane, l think that is
some one after you,' said Uncle
Wiggily, who was twinkling his
pink nose to get ready to go out
and look for adventures.
"Some one for me calling that
way9 Nonsense! Who could it be9'
asked the muskrat lady housekeeper.
"Well, l thought perhaps it might
be Mrs. Twistytail, the lady pig,
or Mrs. Wibbiewobole, the lady
duck, calling you to come out to go
to the moving pictures or something
like that, - said Uncle Wiggily as he
made his necktie straight.
"The idea! 1 guess when my
lady friends call for me, in that
Wild Indian wal I'll know it, !"
spoke Nurse Jane sort of sniffy and
snippy like. "It's probably for
you, Wiggy!"
Just then the voice called again:
"Who-oo! Whoo-oo! Oh, Uncle
Wiggily! Are you coming out?'
"There! What did / tell you9'
cried Nurse Jane, satisfied like.
''lt Johnnie Bushytail, the squir-
REL said Uncle Wiggily, rather
diffident and humble as he looked
from the window. 81 suppose he s
going to school and, very kindly, he
stopped for me?
"You don't mean to tell me
you re going to school--at your
age9' exclaimed Nurse Jane.
"No, but IN going adventuring,
and | may as well hop along with
Johnnie toward school, as far us he
goes,' said the RABBIT gentleman,
and out of the bungalow he skipped
while Nurse Jane shook her head
saying:
"'He gets worse and worse and
younger and younger. Well, ! sup
pose there is no help for it." Then
She began giving the dishes their
morning bath, while Uncle Wiggily
hoped along with the squirrel boy.
They had not gone very far be-
fore Johnnie chattered and said:
"Uncle Wiggily, l wish you'd
help me look this morning.
"Help you look Johnnie, what
do you mean?' asked the bunny
gentleman. "Do you want me to
help you look through your school
books?'
"No, thank you, not exactly
that" answered Johnnie. "Put in
Il grove of trees, not far from the
hollow stump school, l buried some
hickory nuts in the ground last fall.
Now I'd like to dig them, up and
eat them, but / don't just remember
where 1 hid them, and L wish you
would help me look for them. y

Wiggily, and when they reached the
nut grove, not far from school,

COOL AND FAT

Diet practicers who have begun to weary Of the
caorie system of eating may hear with sigh of re-
lief the result of certain scientific experiments made
by the American Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers in cooperation with the United States bur-
eau of mines and the Carnegie Institute Of Technol
ogy. They have demonstrated, it seems, that fat
stand heat better than thin ones do
Many thin person has pitied his stout and per-
spring fellow-mortals on hot and humid summer
day. But he has only been wasting his pity The
scientists have proved that although fat persons lose
weight under extreme heat than do thin ones,
nevertheless the thin ones not endure high temper
ature conditions as long and complain more Of exhaus
tion afterwards.
There is very little time left in which to fatten up
before the cozy days of July and August. Thin par
ties should get busy Immediately. Not only will they
suffer less next summer if they have added few
pounds of fat before then, but they will lose weight
automatically and panlessy in the foolishly dreaded
humidity of dog days.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Experiments being made in several cities with
weekday schools of religion, conducted at the various
churches and attended by the children from to
three hours week 1t is hoped to work out from these
beginnings system for religious education which will
be generally acceptable.
For the present, the church classes are being held
mostly after school or two days week, for
hour or on Saturday Attendance is not compul-
sory but where the work has been undertaken the
responce has been remarkably encouraging. Some
enthusiasts hope to deveope the plan to point where
it will be practical to have the children given certain
hours of their regular school time every week to attend
the church classes Of their preferred denominations
but that is problem
There is a widespread feeling that the religious ed
ucation of American children is being neglected One
church authority says, Reliable Investigations show
that one-hai of the American children of gram
school age are receiving systematic religious
training"
Few people will question the desirability of such
training both for the children themselves and for the
future welfare of the nation. Because of the wide diff
ference of faith and creed the public schools cannot
wisely handle this work 1t remains task for home
land church The classes in religion may help to
compllsh it.

moody and nervous, who have head
ache, hot flashes and dizzy spells

n RoST people who go shopping
NV in their automobiles have
AVA such a difficult time find
ing a place to park that lot OF
women are now doing their market
ing on horse back.
They've discharged their chaut-
feurs and jockeys.
Horses will be particularly
popular in winter because they're
not SO hard to start on cold morn
ings.
And you don't have to fill them
with alcohol to keep them from
freezing.
One dame took her horse to an
auto accessory house and asked
them to put a couple of bumpers
on him.
There's been q wonderful I'M
provemeflt in horses In the last
two years, but so far, none OF
them are coming equipped with
four-Wheel brakes.
A wealthy society woman had
been so used to buying automo-
bfles that she went to a livery
stable and asked for a closed horse.
She said she'd probably freeze
to death on an open one.
After looking at every horse in
the place she walked out disgust
ed because none of them had
trunk racks on them.
She went to another stable and
told the salesman she'd take the
black and white one if they'd equip
him with an automatic whip. She
was SO used to Injuries that she
even wanted to spank her horse by
electricity.
And instead Of stirrups she de-
manded running boards on each
side OF him.
It's nice to gallop downtown In
the morning and be able to take
the horse right in the store with
you. \
One dame tied her pony to the
-escalator in the basement and
when she went to get him she
discovered that he was on the top
floor.
The horse amused himself by
riding up and down the moving
stairs while she was doing her
shopping.
He wandered around the store by
himself, and when his owner found
him he had two shirtwaists, three
pairs Of stockings and petticOat
On his mouth.
She petted him and gave him a
piece Of sugar for finding some
bargains she had overlooked.
But now the law says that when
you take your horse into q depart
ment store he must wear q muzZle
30 keep him from biting floor
walkers.
Limousines are all right, but
horses are cheaper. Automobile
manufacturers bring out classier
looking cars every year, but ma
ture never changes her models.
