GO FISHING

Herbert Hoover turning his engineering mind up
on American public life finds exactly what is wrong
with it. There are not eougnh fishermen in office. He
told the Izaak Walton League about it the other day,
thus
"a fisherman must be of contemplatve mind for
it is often long time between bites. These interudes
produce patience, reserve and calm reflectionfor
can catch fish in excitement, in eagerness or in
malice.
'He is by nature possessed of faith, hope and even
optimism, or he would not fish"
All these qualities, he argued make for good gov
ernmen
This is almost an inspired revelation. The truth
of it should appeal instantly to any intelligent mind.
The one thing needful is found. What public re-
representatives. at Washington need is to go fishing.
And to tell the truth, it wouldn't do the public itself
any harm.
It's surprising how many people think what life
insurance policy is for is to borrow money
Maybe of these days the House and Senate
will begin investigating each other.
Instead of "conscripting capital and labor" in
the next war; the government might things up by
letting the capitalists work at wages and the
workmen take their turn at dollar year.
The "bobbedhair bandits figuring in the
news are harum-scarum girls.

CHTCLE AND ARCHAEOLOGY

When next fascinated by the facial agility OF a
chewer gum think of archaeology and it's debt to the
gum-chewng habits of America Says writer on the
subject Except for the ever increasing demand Tor
chcle the dense jungles of Central America and Mex
leo might have remained unexplored until the amazing
monuments of prehistoric Mayan civilization had been
wholly destroyed by the elements
AS it is the archaeologist follows the paths which
the chicero cuts through the forest and after the
latter has gathered all the during the rainy season
the former digs up ancient ruins and pottery during
the dry season
Chicle hunters who bring word of ruins where
there are monuments with strange inscriptions are re-
warded by Representatives, ACarnegle Institute
at Washington and several Important Mayan cities
have been brought to light in that way
Perhaps the millions Of dollars spent for chew
ing gum by Americans Of high and low degree may
now be removed from the column of statistics lux
uries and moved over to archaeology. And will not
gum chewers take keener interest in those buried
cities and treasures when they realize that they have
contributed generously to their discovery?

FASTING

An unusual case of devotion is that OF the woman
going without food for As days to make it easier for
her husband who had started fasting for an allment OF
the stomach She lis said to have done IL so that ne

The womans heroic self-sacrifice was as foollsh
and futile as her husbands Spartan experiment. A
fasting man needs good care; and lacking 1000, the
wife grew weak that she was not able to take
care of him. Both needed care and did not get II.
Wherefore they near death when their case was
called to the attention of physicians.
Fasting has it's uses, but is dangerous business
when prolonged. Anyone intending to go without food

WARMING UP THE CLIMATE

Cheating all outdoors, is not a mere flgure Oh
speech According professor of geology, whenever
we burn coal and oil we doing that very thing.
1t is not the actual heat escaping into the air tnaC
does it. so much as the carbon doxde gas formed by
combustion. This gas, produced in enormous guam
titles tends to form sort of atmospheric blanket
which catches and holds the heat of the sun more Ell
fectively Thus the earth is warmed more by the
suns rays. The geologist thinks the warming up OF
the climate observed in the last century may be que TO
this cause And he remarks that rise OF only thfee or
four degrees in the average heat of the earths tmos
phere would melt all the ice Of the Arctic ana Anarc,
tic regions and make great changes in the climate ana
vegetation Of the temperate and frigid zones
There would be compensation, indeed, for burn
ing up our fuel. But it isn't necessary for that rea,
son, to start right in wholesale program OF luel
waste.

OBITUARY
Caroyl Thomson

Little Caroyl Louise Adelaide,
second youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. Thomson, was born in this
city April 2, 1913, and passed away
November 81, 1924, after very pro-
Ionged illness of two years. At tkc
time of her death she was six years,
seven months, and nineteen days of
age. All that loving hearts and
hands could do, together with The
greatest medical skill, proved to be
of no avail, and death came very
quietly and ended her sufferings.
Despite her many handicaps, and
especially that of the loss Of her
sight through illness, little Caroyl
Louise was always happy, cheerful
and source of pleasure to all who
knew and loved her. Her face was
ever beaming with smiles, always
bringing happiness to those near
her.
She leaves to mourn her loss, be-
