Making love is about like learning
to drive an auto. You never will
learn just by watching someone else.
Working for what you get is more
important than getting what you
work for.
Keep too many irons in the fire
and one of them will burn you.
The lazy mans ambition is a coal
and ice business. As an ice man he
could loaf in winter and as coal
man he could loaf summers.
All work and no bootleg makes
Jack rich boy.
Many good argument is knocked
down and run over by progress.
Being poor is sometimes more of
habit than anything else.
Invest your money, but if you are
taking flyer in fina.\e save little
as parachute.
Balloon trousers and balloon tires
are all right. It's balloon heads that
are all wrong.
Bread cast upon the water will not
return If the sharks get it.
Here it is weeks after the frs: OF
the year and some of the movie star
using the 1924 marriage licenses.
Then, there is poetic license. Some
poets consider it permit to MUIR
der the English language.
Horrible thought. Springs coming.
Will people with. vocabularies i'm
creased by crossword puzzles try to
write spring poetry?
We never have smoked opium,
used dope. or worked crossword puz-

Letter From Ruth Burke to Walter

Dear One:

news first. | am starting home day
after tomorrow.
Leslie is recovering much faster
than we could have hoped. She sat
up yesterday and the nurse tells me
this morning she is even much bet

She told me last night that she
was anxious to get back to Pittsburg
and get her home in shape so that
she could entertain and be entertain

Of course, I've had some excuse for
that because of my fathers and Sis

me. He used to say that my smile

away from his heart. He must be
very disappointed with me now.

amtglad that Leslie has come to
this conclusion and l believe, Wal

carnations Jack and Leslie under

did.

to the conclusion that such constant
sadness is sure to kill all love or
friendship that might be hers.

New York, Feb. 26.-There are less
stogies, cheap Filipino cigars and
fivc-cent ropes sold in the negro
section of Harlem than in, any other
section of New York, manager of
a chain tobacco shop tells me. 1.-THE
boys in Harlem usually smoke two

there is big demand for higher
grades"
Because of the great shopping
public here thefS are many stores
which specialize In just one line of
merchandising Probably the most nm
usual of these is furniture store

beds, chairs, dressers and even dwarf
pianos costing hundreds of dollars.

figs and raisins, are valuable for
mineral elements, particularly iron.
These may be used freely whers

should not be used to the entire ex-

Nearly everyone likes fruit. So
there is little need to urge its use.

WHO CARES HOW
BIG THEY GET?

BIG THEY GET?
Los Angeles says it will be the
third city in the United States in
1910
San Francisco boosters say San
Francisco will be the biggest city
in the world by 1860 or 1860.
And both of them seem to think it
is important.
Why should anybody care? By
1910 perhaps there will be no cities,
or none that anybody can see where
they begin or end.
Cities used to have to be within
walking distance of their market
centers.
Then they grew to electric car,
and then to automobile size
Already they are getting too
crowded to have business center.
They will have to have several.
Then it will make no difference
how many of these there are, or
how far apart.
Finally, in the age these prophets
are talking about, a city will be
compact enough if its inhabitants
are within radio hearing and within
airplane distance Of each other.
A city a thousand miles across,
with great farms and open spaces
within its limits, will be as feasible
as any other. And that will not be
a city.

At the recent corset convention
