THIS AND THAT
by CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

How many persons do you know
who never have anything just like
anybody else has?
The thing usually is better, or some.
times 1t may be q bit worse, but 1t IL
never the same.
II every one in your neighborhood
has the same size and type of furnace,
and all agree that five tons Of coal is
the amount necessary for season.
this different person pops up to de-
clare that he never uses but three
tons.
If you express the fond belief that
radio reception was unusually good
last night, he Immediately declares 1t
to have been rotten. in the generally
accepted meaning Of that much over.
used word.
To be unique is a longing of the
human heart, evidently; yet it is one
that is seldom fulfilled, and, If it is, is
found scarcely worth while.
In prospective, however, the thing
looks desirable.
Yet some who have reached the
cold heights Of Uniqueness would
gladly change i all for the warm fire.
side of the Commonplace.

Some persons seem to have a per.
verse streak in them, in respect to
this being different from most of us.
Let one name a certain book as
good, such person automatically
brands 1t as not so good.
One longs to allow a certain time
To elapse, then spring the name of
the same book upon them, coupled
with the declaration, this time, that
the volume is rather Indifferent
"Oh, do you think SOP" would be
the instant response of the different
person. "Why, 1 think it a most
charming book"'
Yes, indeed!
Recently we listened with great
relish to the following anecdote, in.
volving successful and clever-as
you shall see-real estate woman.
This lady conveyed a party of
Would-be home-buyers to- various
houses with the high hope Of inter.
esting them to the point Of signing on
the famous dotted line.
The last house looked at was stu.
ated in the suburbs, on a corner of
two streets as yet unpaved.
Think Of what the street paving
bill will be on all this!" said a house
hunter.
''Oh, don't let that worry YOUR
smiled the real estate woman, readily.
1T will be years and years before
those two streets are paved"
A few blocks were covered by the
party, conversation being on a num-
Der Of topics.
When the corner house was again
discussed, a few blocks further on,
another member of the party said:
Yes. that was nice house, but
think Of those unpaved streets! I
would not want to live on unpaved
Streets"
"Oh. you won't have to-" smiled the
real estate lady, having forgotten all
about her previous remark. 1T will
only be a short time before those
streets are paved. Why, they are in
the estimates now!'

Why take the necessary time
To put a thought into a rhyme,
When all we really care to hear
Is cadence that will soothe the ear?

The moth balls are thrown out at last
Oh, Muse! Admit that 1t is grand
To wiggle with the Charleston band!
Be good, be gentle, kind and true.
And pay your rent when it is due.
Why give the care and take the time
To put thought into a rhyme?

These figures are rough and ap.
proximate. Chairman Green and his
WAYS and means committee of the
House are now milling over them and
over a battling array Of schemes for
solving the riddle. From now until
Congress meets, it will be their head
cracking occupation.
In international law, as generally
accepted, the vanqutshed in war has
no claims whatsoever against the VIC
tor. But the United States and Prus-
sia, in Frederick the Greats time,
made a treaty guaranteeing the sane
tity of private property in war. 1t Is
a principle to which America has ira
ditionally adhered. Besides (and pri-
marily) the United States has become
so gigantic an international creditor
edent that private property can be
confiscated, as a matter OF right, by
any government with which we might
happen, some unexpected day, to be at
war.

Policy Association, with headquarters
at New York, held an indignation
luncheon on the subject. Prof. James

and World Court advocate, has just

From the State Of Washington

running for county prosecutor hit on
the idea of engaging high school girls

won the girls were pledged 81 a week
If any of them carried her particular

him and got the maximum honora-
rum. Their Zine" was to visit the
friends Of their parents, talk about the

rendered the family and solicit votes
for him on those personal grounds.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

The Mind Reader.
Magician friend, wish your art
With all its claims were true.
And you could bring each mind and
heart
All frankly into view!
Each one Of us has vainly tried
To make some purpose clear,
While worthless words served but tc
hide
A meaning all sincere.
If you, good Friend Magician, might
Apply your power strange,
That brings an hour of pleasure light
To serious interchange;
Which shows what motives underlie
Each thing we say or do,
The world would show, as years roll
by,
Deep gratitude to you.
The fawning compliment would fade
Into hollow sound,
The sneering jest, so glibly made.
Might hold some truth profound;
And what seemed censure we might
know
AS love that closely binds,
If you, Magician, could but show
Just what is in our minds.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

Most Americans will be astonished
to learn that by the time Congress is
through wrestling with the allen prop
erty mess, Uncle Sam will possibly be
paying Germany the tidy sum of $780,
900, 900. So, as far as the United
States Is concerned, it may turn out
that to the loser belong the spoils. 1t
all gets down to a bookkeeping propo-
sition-the striking of a balance. This
is how matters seem to stand:
