Once, while on location" with the

While on location up in Yosemite,

two knives. While cautiously carrying
their loot into the backyard, Martha
whispered, will papa care?" Ed
said, eyes, but we'll put it back" and
became absorbed in prying open his
share of the box.
When mother came downstairs she
found two heads close together gazing
into fathers favorite, but now useless
camera. Being asked why Ed an

Here is a story relating to a trace
custom, from which many OF us have
suffered:
A doctor received a box of neckties
from an eastern concern with a letter
telling him to keep the ties and
remit 81. or return ties.
Instead Of following the instruc-
tions, the doctor sat down and semi
the company few pills, accompanied
by letter telling the receiver that
they were recommended for gall"
The value OF the pills, he said, was
So, and that he would give them
credit for the necktie bill of 81, and
all they would have to remit was the
additional dollar.
In q few days he received an
acknowledgement OF the pills, which
were returned, and was requested to
return the tie.
The doctor then replied that it was
two blocks to the poStoftice and that
he always charged $3.50 for request
calls. So if the concern would send
him the amount he would mail the
tie

STOPPING STUNT FLYING.

We quite agree with the Kansas City Post that the order of the War Department in ban ming stunt and trick airplane flying is timely Aviation has become of the regular modes Of transportation. It is part of the general scheme of things just as are railroading sailing bicycling or even walking. It has ceased to be something for show and there is no more reason why aviators should perform circus tricks for the popuiaee than there is why they should be per formed by passenger freight trains or steam ships. Stunt flying always has been too dan gerous game for entertainment Those who have witnessed it have been thrilled of course but they have stood with hearts where their paiates ought to be in fear and trembling That Is not entertainment But il was not so bad in the old days when there were but few air planes as now when they are part of the life of every important town. 1t is time to quit playing with the lives of avators, their pas sengers and the general by-standing public

SINCLAIR-DOHENY-FALL
 REFLECTIONS.

The circumstance that some of E L. Doheny's stockholders suing him for losses in connec- tion with the Doheny-Fall- Elk Hills adventure causes one to recall that Harry F. Sinclair, with out suit or threat of suit, personally assumed the losses in connection with the Teapot Dome affair Among these losses the $2OO, 900 S300, 900, more, that went to Secretary Fall, either bribe the result of sand-baggng.
 The Empire holds brief for Sinclair, much less for Doheny. It abhors the rascaity of their relations with Fall, whom they either bribed permitted to hold them up. However cannot withhold from Harry Sinclair a measure of credit for the unasked restitution to his associates.
 It is only fair, aso to the jurors that tried the cases in which these involved to admit that they, not technically rightly of course, took into account the circumstance that the Gov ernment did not lose anything, In fact appar- enty, the Government and Fall benefciaries Fall seems to be holding onto the several hundred thousand dollars he got out of the game and Uncle Sam not only has the oil lands back his hands again, but he gained lot of oil tanks, fuel oil, that had been turned over to him, and several millions spent in development of the properties Sinclair. Doheny and the atter's stockholders seem to be the only losers.
 If the Government could now dispose of Teapot Dome and Elk Hills in unbribed and clean deal, on contracts advantageous to the Government and the public veal as were the Sinclair and Doheny contracts, the thing would not be bad, except for the cingng stench of the foul transactions with Fall and the loss of Dohenys stockholders
 It may be that the fact that the Government has lost nothing except lot of humiliation on account of the conduct of those in high places through the Teapot Dome and Elk HiHs oil transactions, is responsible the failure to get marked reaction from the people through the charges that have been made up and down the country against the Republican Party.

A FITTING FATE.

Norway and France have given up the search for Roald Amundsen following the finding of DOT tons of his seaplane, admission that he is dead. Which means that the of the veteran explorer is His body will remain up there some place in the Arctic where he spent many years of his virile and interesting life It is de plorabe, of course, and in country is mourn ing more sincere than in America, but, in the final analysis it was fitting end of unusual Conquerer of both poles, discoyerer of the long sought Northwest passage and contributor of so much information about the Arctic and Antarctic, he gave up his life in effort to rescue younger of another who had undertaken to carry work that the grzzed old sailor and scientist had cherished. No one could ask for more heroic fate and adventure in his long life clearly demonstrated the big heart and indomitable will that characterized the martyr. His place in history is secure There should be, and doubtless will be times passes, many monuments in many lands to commemorate the services and heroism of Roald Amundsen.

Taxing Travel.
Manchester Guardian.

Manchester Guardan.)
 The rivalries of air and water, of steam and petrol work constantly to make travel quicker and cheaper, that the grand tour is longer the perquisite of a few aristoerats but becomes the holiday ambition of the thrifty poor Yet, while mechanic continually assists to speed the traveller his way politi- elan puts up what stupid barricades he can against ths healthy flow of minds and bodies. The passport is sufficiently futile implement of staecraft the visa is purely vexatious. It has no justification excpt tax, and what justi- fcation there be for a tax travel? Yet the French admitting the annoyance of the visa, propose not that it should be totally swept away but that it should be replaced by an international up and pay an entrance fee at every boundary. That at any rate, might be simplier than the tedious touring of consulates and other offices in order to buy visas the counter which is the present odious prelude to holiday for those who journey afar. But it is impossible finance why a nation should desire to poster its guests and turn it's front door into the like ness of a turnstie at place of entertainment. The tax must either be meager in result or if 1t is large enough to be a deterrent, totally futile. It is surely time that this churish and greedy attitude to the tourist was replaced by a more courteous hospitality Travel is simply part of civilization, and to tax 1t is the very essence of boorshness.

More or Less True

You may think you know your
 self pretty we'll, but people are more apt to believe what others
 say about you than they are to believe what you say about your self.
 Now and then you'll have guests who act as if they felt they had
 given you a pretty good time con- sidering the kind of dinner you served them.
 Another thing the modern short
 haired little girl doesn't know anything about is the agony of having the tangles conibeG cut 0f

 mother
 You can learn a lot of things at home, but they are not the things the correspondence schools agree
 to teach you a.s so much per lesson.
 The greatest objection to having the kitchen in colors is that it will take friend wife so long to doll up in clothes that will harmonize with them she'll never be able to get the meals started. The reason a lot of women are Inot unhappier than they are is be- cause they are not living with husbands they are envying other women for having. l The trouble with the average husband is that he wants a lot of praise he doesn't deserve and doesn't want the blame he does. An old married woman's idea of the prize lunatic is the man who thinks if the girl doesn't love him when she marries him she will learn to after she has lived with him for awhile.
 Home with some men Is where they go to turn loose all their meanness. , A machine that mends silk hos

Wales and MT. Tunney.
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Two royalties met the other day and ex- changed felicitations and experiences-the Prince of Pugilism and the Prince of Wales
 It probably will further add to the perpleM- ties and the spleen of the typical fight, fan when he considers that the worlds champion slugger and the worlds worst horseman and heir to the British throne sat down together in St. James Palace and talked of such things as lie between cabDages and Kings, just as ordinary, yrile young men are in the habit of doing
 MT Tunney must continue to be an enigma to the profession" He doesn't just fit into the pugilistie tradition somehow, and it makes the boys nervous and irritable He even has managed to make himself personagrata with that intel lectual porcupine, George Bernard Shaw, and with a lot of other decent and dignfed people
 All that Wales and Tunney talked about or did, at the time of their meeting is not perhaps given to the public. They may have negotiated drink or two, they may have induIged in a few technical passes with the gloves-Wales IS pretty good at the game in modest way or they may have discussed the Princes coming African trip. It is enough to know that. as one Prince to another, they chinned through some congenial hours, while the cauliflower boys looked, listened wondered and, perhaps cussed a little over the incongruity of things

HAVE YOU LEARNED
TO OBSERVE?
BY r. A. WALKER

GENERALLY speaking our eyes
~ ware given us to see with and the
deiicate\ optic nerves. one Of the most
complex Nnd interesting parts of the
body. we've designed to carry the i'm
preston of the object from the retina
to the brain and make us conscious of
the thing we look at.
The mechanism is perfect. Operat-
ing as it should, we would see things
with our eyes and comprehend them
with our brains as they truly are. But
there enters in the factor of individual
power o observation.
Have you learned to observe? Do
you see things as they are or as you
wrongfully think they are? Could you
stand at the corner of street for a
full minute and accurately recount all
the things that occurred with your
range of vision?
The ability to correctly observe is
well worth cultivating. Learn to see
accurately and completely.
