The door to the average mans
heart Is swinging door, which
a woman can enter with astonish-
ing ease-but which no woman
can lock behind her.
The average woman lives with
her ear to the ground, listening

chief.

often, for the kiss she withheld,

Most men would like to have

comes to making love to a lot
of women-but they find the legs
of a centipede far more useful,
when it came to escaping.

American diplomatic relations with Mexico are
strained than generally believed but the pres
ent misunderstanding could be cleared up If the
two countries would so about it in a businesslike
manner.
That is the conclusion reached by Robert P.
Scrlpps, president of the Scripps-Howard news
papers.
Scripps points out that the exchange of dipio-
matte correspondence between Secretary Kellogg
and Foreign Minister Saenz of Mexico is largely in
tended for home consumption-and that the two Off
Gals therefore are not frank and concatory as
they might be if they, their representatives were
seated about a table.
In view of this unfortunate situation, Scripps
asks: why would not the best way to settle the
present difficulty with Mexico American land
and petroleum titles be to have businesslike con-
ference Of authorized representatives of Presidents
Coolidge and Gales, with legal and business advisers
in attendance either at Ell Paso, Juarez Havana?
The Times regards this suggestion as the most
sensible solution Of Observation-Disclosures problems yet
proposed. And believe responsible elements in
both countries would indorse it.

Loss of patronage is the most

third of the number the trolley
system lost. So, in accounting for
decreased street car patronage,
bus competition is just a conversa-
tional DOGGY man rather than a
serious factor, The cause of the
loss Of patronage is deeper.
Speedier, cleaner, better heated,
more comfortable cars and more

that people ride the cars as a

Mo n
NO. g

Losses arising from fires, storms,
shipwreck, 'or other casualty" or
from theft, whether or not connected
with a taxpayers business, may be
deducted from gross income in his
1925 income tax return. If his home
or automobile is destroyed by fire
or his property damaged by storm,
the loss is deductible for the year in
which 1t was incurred.
Loss of property by theft or bur
glary is an allowable deduction, and
need not be incurred in the taxpay-
er's trade or business.
A loss from embezzlement also IS
deductible.
All losses are deductible only to
the extent by which they are not
compensated for by insurance or
otherwise.
