By Arthur Brisbane

When the automobile arrived
old-fashioned carriages, VictOrias
broughams, etc., became worthless
here, and a market was found for
them in South America where they
did not give up horses and car
riages so easily.
Lately the American. problem has
been chow to get rid of second
hand automobiles" Europe, it
seems, will help solve that problem.
A company, formed to ship sec
ond-hand cars to Europe, sends
over bargains by the shipload.
Money is not as plentiful there as
it is here. The fused car" at
whitfield down price, is attractive.
Unloading of used cars abroad
will be good thing for Europe,
which needs economy, and good
thing for the United States, where
millions need "a bigger or better
car" r
The Senate Agricultural Com
mittee, II to 5, voted against
Ford's Muscle Shoals offer and
took up Senator Norris's bill.
Senators that refused Ford's
offer are hurting farmers and hurt
ing themselves. But that doesn't
console Ford, who must now find
his consolation in the 146th Psalm.
Verse 8 is especially recommended:
"Put not your trust in princes,
nor III the son of man, in whom
there is no help"
The unreliable son of man in this
case seems to be Mr.. Coolidge.
Chlorine gas that wiped out bat
tali0ns in the great war, will be
used on a bigger scale of destruc-
,tSon against germs of influenza,
pneumonia, and other diseases.
94uat's better war.
(, Exclusive clubs in New York de-
eide to 5r..FvIj tii,.2 visitors' list
during the Democratic convention.
This is, presumably tQ 2Aligq mem
.logs That occasionally dream politi-
cal dreams, on their own account,
but would not like to push the thing
so far as to "invite those political
chaps to ones own club, don't you
know" We really have an Amerl-
can aristocracy, poor thing, but
our own.
The Methodists, with "going for
ward" for their keynote, vote 5 to
1 in their general conference to lift
the ban on dances and theatres.
The old rule was no amusement
Except those which can be used in
the name of the Lord Jesus" Now
amusement and religion can be kept
separate, as education and religion
are separate in public schools.
Charles H. Mayo, great surgeon,
says cancer will be conquered
within a few years" Already
seventy to eighty per cent Of can
GERS can be cured "if taken in
time" Remember that over-eat-
ing is one of the principal causes
of cancer. Keep your system light,
clear, clean, full of energy, and it
will deal with the diseases that at
tack it.
Overloaded, it is helpless.
Miss Gildersleeve, dean of Bar
nard College, tells the girls that
marriage is not ENOUGH for
women now. Each girl must have
a career, as well as a husband.
What is a career? Beethoven's
job was music. Michel Angeles
was art. Did not their mothers
have career, when they created
them? Or must they also paint
pictures and write music? Is not
the creator as great as the thing
created?
Mothers are the creators, men
are only the product, depending
for their fame on what their
mothers give them.
1t would horrify you to read
about a female gorilla capturing .
young girl, skinning her, to use the
skin as sandals. That never hap
pened. But European ladies arc
having sandals made of the 'soft
and pliable" skin of monkeys, guar
anteed not to squeak" In a gor-
lila that would shock US. It's all
right for lady.
'Rebecca West, an intelligent
young English writer, back in Lon
don, tells of a judge in the Middle
West "who danced the tango with
passion rarely exhibited in public
places. And afterward gave me
wonderful cocktail made of brand
of white fire out of a silver faSt
the size of the Ascot Cup"
eat his invitation she sat on the
bench with him next day and saw
him fine a colored lady, seventy
five years old. $50 for carrying
pint bottle OF moonshne whiskey
She presents that as sample o.
our respect for law"
