'YTHAT WIS terrible thing tn
4 happened in New Jersey" said the
plumber as he got busy repairing a
leaking sink, "$94,OOO,OOO worth Of
property destroyed" Then by way of
afterthought "and A lives. That is
something for Coolidge to think about
on his vacation"
LIE will not worry much, at least
~ about the lives" replied the
housewife. After a brief silence the
plumber came back "Oh, / think he
will, | think he is a very nice man
You know his job lis no sinch. He
never has real vacation. / think he
Is fine man, tho of course everybody
has right to their opinion"
Things are coming to pretty pass

laborites can invade the sacred pre-
cincts of the lordds and not only utter

the chosen leaders Of the British rul-
ing classes are degenerating. It is an
ominous coincidence that those scenes
should occur when the issue of inde-
pendence is raised in Canada and a
strike of 100000 coal miners is in
its fifth week

is she merely a vulgar sensationalist

M1HAT price victory? The Sunday
" papers that carried pictures of
pretty German girls in bathing suits
slipping forbidden beverage (not in
Germany p seaside resort featured
story OF a large demonstration in
Paris composed of crippled wrecks of
the world war. These poor wretches
we're protesting against the payment
Of the French debt to the United
States, no doubt under the instruc-
tisocGEsy 81 tie zsslyT interests who sent
them to where they got mangled.
THE caption writer who fixed up
4 the German story asked who won
the war. His idea of earthly bliss was
a foaming stein of Pilsener. But for
those who think as they read there is
an interesting lesson In both stories.
France won the war Germany was
defeated Yet the two countries that
contributed most to Germany's defeat
England and the u. S.-were instru-
mental in setting the German capital
lists on their feet after the war was
over This was done of course at the
NAHOhoV VI tuc WI CidSS.
ORANGE was one of the victors in
= the war but the French capitalists
are living in luxury as usual. The
poor French workers are the real los
ers. The value of the franc is going
down but the wages of the French
worker is not going up. If there are
vet French workers silly enuf to boast
about the defense of Verdun or the
hating of the German army on the
Marne, it only proves that the work
ers learn slowly
uOW many happy homes are re-
IL turned to the installment furni-
ture people because countless hus.

jamming a wad of capitalist news

who have a stronger leaning toward
