Gentlemen prefer blondes everywhere but in
their business offices the state convention of
business women was told. In the office men
want brains and don't give darn about COM
plexions. It's pretty much so in homes too, we
reckon-after the honeymoon has disappeared in
the west.
Nearly seventy per cent of the cases of can
Ger remain undiagnosed until they reach the IA
tai stage, a physician of the Mayo clinic recent
ly told an audience. Sounds like one more good
argument for a semi-annual physical examina-
ton for every man and woman. A man should
have himself looked after mechanically at least
as often as he would have his car gone over by
an expert.
The Dawson school board is getting both
panned and praised for refusing to let an army
officer speak there in the interests of military
camp So far as we can see it is nobody's bust
ness but Dawsons The people there have per-
feet right to their ideas and to govern their town
accordingly so long they do not infringe on
either state or national law. And in this case
they certainly did neither.

AS fine special edition as the writer has
seen in a long time was that published by the
Sank Center Herald in honor of it's sixtieth an
niversary. geographically well as from the
literary and historical viewpoint it was a fine

tors and publishers. Newspaper anniversaries
are fine things and it is fitting that newspapers
and communities should recognize them as
milestones of community tradition and progress.
The Gazette will be celebrating its own sixtieth
birthday one day pretty soon.
This is a modern and sophisticated age we
are told and people are supposed to be becoming
both intelligent and hardboiled. And yet within
the last few weeks residents of this section of
the northwest have fallen victim to the Prison.

set to lose $4,000 by the same old "loaded pock-

in time. We really aren't so smart in many re-

If any state is to have the Baumes law ev-
cry state should have it. Otherwise the habit
ual criminal will move ON from state to state,
seeking always those which have not the pro-
lection of the life penalty after the fourth con-
viction for crime. We are not friend of CEN

Mr.. Voliva, who calls himself the
new Messiah, says: mobile and his
friends have sailed over the edge of the
world, and there is use looking
for them. The earth isn't like a
flat plate, you understand. There
is high wall around it, thousands of

Harry Hansen, one of the most popular Of
literary gossips, makes the following character
istic comment on Bernard Shaw's new book in
which Shaw attempts to tell the women how they
may run the world if they will only set about it
right-or maybe its rightly!
Bernard Shaw's new book runs to

thinking, the reader may well exhaust
100000 words before reaching the end
of the book, not counting dinner table
invective or backstage profanity. Con-
trary to custom, the preface is only five
pages long. But Mr.. Shaw broke pre-
cedent, or returned to an ancient form,
by making the table Of contents "a pages
long. Thus he proved himself the friend
of reviewers. He also helped greatly
those who do their reading while ex-
aiming books at bookstore tables"
