SOME POINTS NOT
ON THE COMPASS

ON THE COMPASS
Speed is not confined to any race
Recently a South African boy, in
a school sports contest, ran 100 yards
in 9 As seconds and when he was
challenged on the claim, he stepped
out and repeated the performance
, and the same afternoon ran 220
yards in % seconds. Send for
Charley Paddock
The Prince of Wales is reported to
have popularized the Yale Blues with
the English people. 1t all depends
on what one means by the Yale
Blues In this case, of course, it
means dance step. But if it meant
the Yale feeling after defeating
Harvard, it still might be worth
while.
Montana and Wyoming dude
ranch" owners are going after bust
ness with brass band according to
the dispatches. If they start imme-
dfately, judging from press dispatches,
they will need ear muffs and a
snow plow.
Tt was careless of the organizers
that the name of the new association
planned for Arizona was given such
a loose construction as "Smith-for-
: President" league. No doubt it, is
: CAP but the carelessness manifested
in the naming might make it easy
for John" to claim it.
According to press dispatches, the
name Of the active head of the Anti
Saloon league succeeding to Ine work
of the late Wayne B. Wheeler is
likely to be DR.. Ernest H. Cheering
ton, of Westerville, Ohio. He will
have to be all that his first name
nplies-Ernest-if he ever attains
the power in the country that
Wheeler welded.
Douglas postoffice employees are re-
ported to be ready for any Christmas
rush that may develop. But the
people of Douglas can help them
to make that doubly certain by
getting their outbound Christmas
mail into the office long enough be-
fore Christmas to make it easy to
handle it without any rush. 1t is
everybody's business to help in this
work
Eleven states were represented in
the list of guests registered at the
Gadsden hotel one night recently and
every one OF them was from a
latitude indicating colder tempera-
ture than Douglas has. With that
many walking advertisements to tell
what December day here means,
Arizona ought to get some good
publicity.
One dislikes to, believe that there
are so many dumbbells in national
insist that President Coolidge doesn't
know what he is talking about when
he says he does not intend to be
a candidate for reelection. If there
is anything more fixed in his views,
when he makes uup his mind and
announces it, thanla a New Englander.
the writer doesn't remember it and
he has lived several years in New
England, at that.
While people are giving advice on
what to buy and what not to buy
for Christmas, it might be well to
suggest not to forget the whiskers
for Santa Claus. A Christmas with
out a Santa for the children would
be about as bleak as one could make
it.
With steers selling at eight cents
the pound and high records being
made in average head prices, stock
men in the vicinity of Douglas are
approaching the new year in better
position financially than for some
years, according to local men. 1t is
claimed they will meet the major
portion of their obligations and have
their heifer stock left for herd in
crease.
Chicago university has added an
other reason to wonder whether to
laugh or be solemn when one talks
about university education. A bulletin
has just. been issued stating that 1t
has been scientifically determined
that "a young woman ought to earn
$1,000 or more a year if she wants
to wear chiffon hose and go to the
theater." But listen! 1t sets dowr
1888 for her clothes and $21.19 for
cosmetics. If they can't have those
enjoyments in Chicago for less than
that, they ought to come to Douglas
for there are scores of girls who wear
chiffon hose-mind you, that is just
a guess-and they all go to the
theater one or two times a week.
And the married girls of Douglas
are many. of them keeping husband
for little :l1ore than $1,000 year.
The university will have to recheck
the figures.
