ONCE-OVERS
CURE YOUR QUARRELs BY FORGETTING THEM.

1t quoted that "you can't end quarrel by slamming
door behind YOU
But haven't you tried to end quarrel this way times
without number?
That slam intended parting slap.
During the day. after you had cooled off Bit and you
had thought over what you said and did during that
quarrel, felt mighty
You would have liked to recall of your statements
which you realize hurt and WERE moreover untruthfu
Perhaps the action which struck longest your memory
was slamming that door you left home.
II is doubtful if the toward whom you direct your
angry outburs experiences half much pain them
as you do yourself
And you approach your home at night you feel lot
like whipped cur you wish the matter Of the morning
forgotten and you hope be received if nothing had
happened.
And if the at heme is wise no indications will be

HOW THE PUBLIC FEELS
ABOUT 1T

Editor The Times:
IN the many-sided discussion
i of what is called the "traffic
problem" several important points
are overlooked.
The most important is that the
good Lord has endowed man
with very limited agility to avoid
personal injury from rapidly NOV.
ing objects. In the stone.age
man could readily avoid the
welded club Of his enemy, but
he can hardly hope to avoid the
speeding bullet Of the present
day.
Not many years. ago there was
law in force against speeding
of horses in our streets, vet the
horse could not attain half the
speed allowed by law to the
automobilist. The natural infer.
ence is that the speed now
allowed by law, which is eighteen
miles an hour, is both legal and
deadly.

The who has really tried has at least succeeded at
Q point where most failures begin.
The only way that the desire for affection can really be

Real friendship of slow growth never thves unless

LISTEN, WORLD! 'ssHS=-ssss By ELSIE ROBINSON

NNCE upon a time a man saw and
coveted wonderful opal. It lay in
~ the show window, out of his reach.
The man passed by the show window many
times day. Each time he passed he stopped
and looked at the lovely, mysterious opal
He looked deep into its heart and saw the
myriad fires imprisoned there--broken flames
of emerald and azure, red gold and burning
violet. Those flames fascinated him-they
drew him back again and again. They fed
blind, hungry dream which had lain in his
heart ever since he was born. He did not
realize that the dream was there, but when
he looked at the opal deep, happy warmth
came over him and all life seemed set right
The man was young and poor when he
first saw the opal. But the years passed
and he prospered and at last he was rich
enough to buy it. So the ieweler took. the

Many Volcanic craters in the United States
Observation-Disclosures

When we think OF volcanoes we gen.
erallv associate them with some for
eign country, but here in our own do
main we have within a comparatively
restricted area a group of SO volcanic
craters This is in Idaho and the place
is called the "Craters of the Moon"
because the landscape is so cold look
ing and so barren of vegetation that it
resembles the landscape of the moon
as it seems to us when viewed through
a telescope. While 1t is barren it is not
without color, for there is considerable
variation in the tints of the ground
which is covered with the frozen"
lava which flowed from these craters
q few hundred years ago. There is one
field which is called the Blue Dragon
which is lava of beautiful aurelean
tint and with polish as if it had been
vanished There are cracks in the de-
post at regular intervals and all of
similar shape, which makes the mass
resemble the scales of a great dragon.
These volcanic mounds are of various
heights and same Of interesting forma-

Writer Would Welcome
Return, to Simplicity

People who complain about the in
creasing burdens Of life do not always
use plain, common sense to ease them
selves Of these burdens. We do not
have to have many of the things that
we now enjoy and pay for. 1t might
not seem easy or pleasant to sacri-
fee some of these encumbrances. but
we could do it.
More frugal fare at the table, with
a smaller variety of viands, is one
way. Another is the wearing of clothes
little longer than the arbiters decree.
Then there are the places of amuse-
ment that claim our too-frequent at
tendance.
And how many other forms Of in
diligence there are that have no real
purpose to serve, the lack of which
our fathers never seemed to find dep
rivation.
Simplify your life. Quit paying the
tax on excess baggage that adds no
single benefit. Do 1t openly and above
board as a frank confession that you
cannot afford to do otherwise, and not
with the half-ashamed air of one who
is apologizing for being. alive.-Roches-

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROot

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.

SENATOR LODGE
DEAD, AGED IA
Veteran LaUn1aker and Re-
publican Leader Vic
tim of Stroke.

Boston, Mass, Nov. Ex-senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, who has repre-
sented Massachusett continuously for
thirty-one years in the. United States
senate, died last night in the Charles
Gate hospital, Cambridge. He suffered
a severe shock five days ago. He was
in his seventy-f1fth year
Senator Lodge was first operated on
at che Charles Gate hospital late in
July. He rallied remarkably and less
than twenty-four hours later ate a
hearty meal
He returned to his home in Nahant
in August, regained his strength, and
prepared for his second ordeal. He
returned to the hospital and was oper-
ated on a second time on Oct 20
The shock last Wednesday noon
came Unexpectedly. Mr.. Lodge hac
planned to leave the hospital late last
week and preparations were made for
him to return to Washington late this
month SO as to be present at the open
ing of congress on Dec. /.
From the time of the stroke Mr..
Lodges physicians held out no hope
for his life, but the senator did not
give up life without a battle that was
astonishing considering his years.
Mr.. Lodge had served continuously
in the United States senate since 1893,
as republican leader since August,
1918, and was one of the most promi-
nent members of his party for gener~
alton.
His public career began with cleo
ton to the Massachusetts house Of
representatives in 1879. Six years as
member of congress preceded his
first election as senator.
Twice Senator Lodge was temper
airy and permanent chairman of Re-
publican national conventions at
/ Philadelphia in 1900 and at Chicago
in 1920. Former President Roosevelt,
lifelong friend, urged Mr.. Lodges
nomination for the Republican presi-
Dental candidacy in 1916, when Mr..
Roosevelt declined the Progressive
party's nomination.
Senator Lodge had four years still
to serve in the senate. His place will
be filed by appointment, Gov. Cox
having authority under a legislative
act passed two years ago to name a
successor until the next general cleo.

Prof. Lars Vegard, attached to
Christiania university, by assuming
that frozen nitrogen is responsible for
the beautiful greenish hue that pre-
ceded any outbreak of the northern
lights, has dissipated the mystery of
the green hue that has always been
unexplained by scientific men. The
scientific world has not entirely ac-
cepted his assumption, but regards it
as more satisfactory as an explana-
ton than the old theory that certain
luminous gases caused this exception
ally beautiful effect just before the
