the skin has become crepelike and

be very gentle so as not to stretch the

however, is to be avoided.
This Is rule most suspicious to pro-

Banks and bankers will benefit under

courages great combinations of capital

While there Is a sinister sign read as
forecasting failures in business and
serious embarrassments, the planetary
government Is read as encouraging big

that is at the rate Of 1000 miles per

this position 1000 miles east. OF course,
get ahead of the sun here at London
by just one hour. see the sun rise
one hour before you do; Proceeding in
the same direction yet another 1000

by two hours-another 1000, and I an
ticipate it by three hours, and so on.
until I go entirely around the globe

my uncle's voice, when he had sailed
1000 miles west of this position was an
hour later. and when he had sailed

or one day behind the time at London.
| Thus, with me, yesterday was Sunday

thus, with Pratt, tomorrow will be Sun

Now, my granduncle was, of all
things, an obstinate gentleman. Hav-
ing once opposed my marriage to Kate,
he would stick by it. Indeed, had We
chosen not to be married, he would
undoubtedly have insisted that We be
married at once!
But he had his weaknesses, too.
There was a bizarre old womanish SUI

He was excessively punctilious, too, upon

Being a man of his word, was. In fact.

ORGANIZED MINORITIES

We have had a plague of legisla-
tion imposed upon us by organized
cliques and minorities, and even on
so vital a national concern as de-
fense we have found both the legis-
lative and executive branches at
times subjected to pressure which
did not express the judgment or will
of the main mass of the American
people. 1t was minority opinion
which urged departure from a policy
of independence as old as the repub-
lie and our commitment to European
politics. The people overwhelmingly
supported refusal. 1t is minority
opinion that is always demanding
concessions and sacrifices of Ameri-
can interests in the name of some
theory of world betterment or some
asserted moral responsibility. The
people, whenever they have had a
chance, have repudiated these no
tions of duty or policy, but the prop
aganda goes on and is capable of
serious mischief in the long run.
Politics is timid and is more likely
to be impressed by a vociferous
group in the foreground, making lar
ger claims of support than it can
prove, than by the silent dissent of
the average American, preoccupied
with his private cares and concerns
and having no disposition to rear
range the affairs of the universe.
From this situation arises the dan
ger of frittering away the nations
interests and opportunities.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
A wise god shrouds the future in
obscure darkness.
