Once Seemed Hopeless

This oil scandal, Of which Teapot
Dome is but the half, has been in
the mill good while.
1t was four years ago that the
mess was first exposed and two
years ago that the first indictment
was drawn.
With Fall leading an unmolested
life at Three Rivers, with Sinclair
piling up more millions, with high
power lawyers rushing from court
to court, and with Government coun-
sci scarcely able to keep up with ali
the clubbing and side-stepping, it
has sometimes seemed as though the
case were hopeless, as though the
sense Of common honesty had ceased
to function, as though the law had
surrendered 10 sheer commercialism.

general flavor is the same. For many
years it has been eaten by the poor
in European countries because of its

ARE WE DECADENT?

1t is aSmatter of news that young woman gives
birth to baby two weeks after she took part in a
swimming match.
So unusual is this deemed in these days that the
press associations send the story the wires and
newspapers all over the Nation record it as an
unusual event.
The great grandmother of this girl would have
wondered about this. She would have told of hard
ships in the pioneering days before the grandmother
of this girl born that would make a swimming
match seem very simple.
The tenth generation of women back of this
girl had physical hardihood that would have been
even greater
1t may be something to think about when an item
such as this becomes real news.
Possibly we have been threatened by decadence
IN physical strength that needs attention And it is
more probable that the girls in modern schools
and colleges, trained in athletics and dressing with
view of greater freedom and physical comfort
may get back the pristine vrlty of their sex much
sooner than our boys with their cigarets and their
auto-trained muscles.
Bigger news would be that all women had
reached the stage of physical development that the
bringing OF children to repopuate the world had
been robbed of terror fear and was once moro
considered one of the natural events of life
For after ALL the building of civilization means
nothing unless it brings able to enjoy it.
Women are so vain They'll go to almost any ex
IRENE to satisfy mans vanity.
Nights are long enough now for robbers to make
