"HOT SHOTS"
(Written for The Mail)
By "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

Ii the editor IS the soul or a
newspaper, then the editorial is
it's life-blood. Nothing so weakens
paper as weak editorials. 1t is
very common thing to see select
ed, copied and otherwise perloined
editorials in small town papers.
When you see an editorial page
full of copied editorials you get the
impression at once that the editor
of that paper must have missed his
calling. AS an editor, he would
probably make good grocery
clerk.
1t is said that Arthur Brisbane
writes his daily column today" in
45 minutes. That one column is a
fairly good days work for any edi-
tor, but it is only a very small
portion of Brisbanes daily work.
Not all editors are gifted with the
brain which Mr.. Brisbane has, but
surely any editor worthy of the
name and position is capable of
writing one such column, weekly.
Judging from a letter to the edi-
tor of the Arizona Republican, Mr.
Ford is not a very good sport, to
say the least, he has taken his loss
in the race for mayor of Phoenix
in very bad humor.
Billy Mitchell says that to get
promoted in the army or navy an
officer must be a "yes" man. Our
observation along this line has been
that to get promotion in any line
of business man must fall into

Navy d:rigIbles operated by officers
III training. have been unusually sue
cessful in locating shoals of sardines
and herring for fishermen off the
coast of France. Previous trials
with airplanes had met with indiffer-
ent success, but the dirigibles, able
to remain longer over the areas
searched, locate the fish with great
accuracy
The presence of the fish at various
points is relayed to the nearest port
where fishermen assemble. The serV-
ice costs the fishermen nothing as
the work is done in the course of
the regular navy aeronautic training.
The 'labeled dance girl" with the
name of the dancer-Estelle, Marie,

The armlet is fixed up above the
elbow, in place of the more stero-
typed slave bracelet of gold, ivory
or jade. One particularly, cut OUT
with the letters of the wearer's
Christian name, lay outlined in rich
black, velvet against the, whiteness

Besides names, monograms and

cut out in similar armlets, while an
other variety of the novelty was

launched the venture. For weeks
newspapers carried such mottos as:

would be without his little pig?

little pig grows up we sell him at

Agricultural Department
Expe dites S Releasing Of
Serum for Hog Cholera

& WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-lR-The de-
partment of agriculture acted today
TO. expedite the movement of hog chol-
era serum from manufacturers to in
fected areas of the country and at the
same time to render less likely any
further rapid increase in the price of
the product.
To meet the emergency in the corn
belt states where thousands of hogs
have succumbed to the disease Secre-
tary Jardine authorized federal in
spectors at serum manufacturing
plants to permit sale Of the product
without the customary period of test
ing. The order released for immediate
use more than 35,OOO,OO cubic cent?
meters of serum which under recently
revised regulations would not be
available until tested for eleven days.
DR.. John r. Mohler, chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry, declared -to-
day that in Che last three weeks the
price of the serum had risen from So
cents per 100 centimeters to $3.50 and
in some cases $3.50. There are indi-
cations also, he added, that several
million cubic centimeters of the pre-
ventative have been withheld from the
market, apparently in anticipation of a
price increase.
DR.. Mohler said he expected that to-
days order releasing serum for imme-
'diate use would react to held prices
at or below present levels, especially
with manufacturers planning to sell
direct to hog raisers instead of through
mddlemen.
Another feature of The chilera epi-
demic which is giving concern to de-
partment Officials is the rush to mar
ket Of thousands of hogs before they
become diseased. These unreasonable
slaughterings and the number of chol-
era victims, officials pointed out, likely
will result in a big reduction in the
number of marketable hogs in January
and February, usually the peak
months.

CHEWING GUM COSTS
SIX CENTS, INSTEAD
OF TWO, In FRANCE

PARIS, Oct. 10 R-The Jaws of
French stenographers and typists are
comparatively idle and one important
American custom in France-that Of
gum chewing-is suffering. The fall
Of the franc is responsible. Chew
ing gum now costs six cents n pack
age instead of two cents during the
first post war years and the French
scale will not stand the increase.
The American doughboy brought
the habit to France. For years the
American gum producers had tried
to gain popularity for their product
here. but without success. Then a
million uniformed gum chewers APP
peared and the battle was on French
typists employed in the offices OF the
American Red Cross, Y. M. O. A.,
knights Of Columbus and other
Americah organizations in France
took the lead and the practice
promptly became general among
French youth, to the deep roprobation
of the older generation.
And now gum chewing has vanished
Keepers of tobacco bureaus who
handled the favored chicle have de-
cidcd not to stock up on the Amer
lean product until prices return to
normal.
