Reason

THE way the publishers are
i fiocking around Mr.. Coolidge,
bidding for his future literary out
put, should impress all struggling
writer's that the way to save time
and get the best results is TO be
elected president. Then one can
hand the public hash and they will
think it cold turkey.
e g.
Instead of abandoning all forth
flcations on her possessions near TO
us, Great Britain should trade US
all such possessions for the Philip
pine Islands.
But the inhabitants of Bermuda,
Bahama and other English places
would bitterly resent it, for they re-
gard themselves as many light years
ahead of America.
Of course, Senator Berai1 will not
surrender the limelight to dwell in
Mr.. Hoover's closet as attorney
general.
Borah is the prirna donna Of the
American political opera, the presi-
dent being merely in charge OF the
box office.
One thing is better than 1t used
to be-snowy sidewalks no longer
are covered with tobacco juice.
. Either We are getting soft and
chewing less or our willing workers
are carrying containers for the by
product.
An Austrian scientist who just
has finished weighing the world an
nounces that it is much heavier
than ten years ago.
No wonder, since we now have
MusSolini!
The prince of Wales, John Bulls
crackerjack salesman, is to visit the
Canadian trade again before long.
If Mr.. Bull had sent a representa-
tive, modelled after the prince, to
Boston in the middle Of the eight
zenith century, instead of the bloody
red coats, American independence
might have been postponed.
One good thing about this winter
which has whiskers-it made it

A LII over the world the increase
IA in the number of motor acct
dents is arousing concern among
legislators and statesmen.
The chief physical defect which
may iacapacitate a motor driver is
that having to do with the eyes,
although there are other physical
infirnities which may cause SeT1-
GUS trouble.
In a survey Of the subject, DR..
w. II. Crisp points out that 1t
would seem advisable to require
that 10 person subject to epileptic
attacks should be allowed to drive
an automobile, and that very deaf
people are appreciably less safe as
drivers than those who hear well.
A nervous, jun1py, easily fright
ened driver is often to blame for
motor accidents, yet no one knows
any means by which nervous,
juTnpy, easily excited people can
be kept from driving motor cars.
Anything which interferes with
good vision is likely to be a seri-
Gus handicap. People who have
only one eye or who can see with
only one eye are commonly regard
ed as unsafe, for the simple reason

Me"
"a mutual friend" writes Profess
Sor Barnes, has sent me a copy Of
your interesting comment In the
New York Telegram relative 10 my
estimate OF the place Of Jesus in the
history Of ethics and religion. With
your proposal of a national The
Kind Day and with the general
thesis I am in hearty accord.
81 believe that an attitude OF
kindlinesS, sympathy and justice Is
the most important element In any
religious and ethical system which
is to be applied TO human material.
Yet We have to face many difficult
and complicated problems in our
twentieth century civilization which
the mere spirit Of kindliness can
scarcely solve. This is why I should
prefer to take my ethical guidance
from man like Or. Fosdick, Have
lock, Ellis, s. H. M. Parshley, Durant
Drake, ct al than from Christ.
Kindness will not enable us TO
choose irtelligently between the
views Of the capitalistic system held
by Judge Gary and Ivy Lee, on the
one hand, and by w. 2. Foster and
Scott Nearing. on the other.
Kindness will hardly sufice TO tell
us how much good or how much
damage may be done to an adde's

Kindness

.WHILE ] have unbounded en-
w thusiasn for your dectrire
that conduct Is more important than
religious belief and that kindliness
is vital element Of all successful
conduct, my ardor seriously abates
when you identify kindliness with
Christianity.
Few will doubt that Christ ex-
pounded the doctrine of kindliness,
though there are passages like His
bringing Net peace but a sword
which might be cited By caviling
critics, but the doctrine certainly
can not be identified With Him in
any unique sense, either moral or
historical. Still less can it be
identified with Christianity.
The Christians have paid little
attention to Christ's doctrines IN
any respect, but least Of all TO His
eXhortations. to be meek, humble,
sympathetic, and friendly.
Judged by modern standards He
was, in regard TO book-leaTning and
scientific knowledge, most certainly
an ignorant man, and He lived in
simple pre-industrial economy.
''Yet we can be equally certain
that He could not have left us any
specific advice and guidance rela-
tive to how to conduct ourselves in

Q.-What Is the cause Of the
jaw slipping aNt Of place and
what can be done 70 prevent
IT.?
A.-Sometimes the jaw slips
out of place due to unusual
violence such as results from
pushing or pulling, sometimes
from attempting to get too
large q. piece of meat or fruit
into the mouth at one time,
and sometimes from yaWning
too heartily. OF course If the
joint is not quite normal in
its construction so that the
socket which holds the bone is
shallow, 1t will slip out easier.
Indeed, some people are able
10 disiocate and reset the joint
Of the jaw at will.

Profits of Gambling

A Qua Caliente is said to have
"A taken in as much as 100000
within a single week and to have
netter a profit of $4,000 during the
Labor day weekend.
It's stock which originally was
offered at $40 par value now moves
readily at $50 and the work of
doubling the capacity of its hotel
Is under way.
It goes without saying that such
an enterprise does much TO attract
people to San Diego, especial as
transient visitors, but it should not
be regarded as more than an Incl
dent in the city's life or prospects.
San Diego is pretty thoroughly
sold on the idea that it is a place
where people come to enjoy them
selves, whether they come for a
week, winter or the rest of their
lives.
Enjoyment. as sought by average
Americans, includes vastly more
than gambling, or even golf.

Three-EYed Monster.

Quarrymen at Harbury. Warwick
shire England, uncovered some strange
looking material and before disturbing
it to any great extent sought the adj
vice of biologists, whereupon the work
of uncovering proceeded very carefully
and it was soon discovered that it was
a rather important and interesting find.
It was a well preserved skeleton of a
member of the lizard family, which
lived in a time almost too remote to
think about. This skeleton is 16 feet
long and the largest similar speci-
men heretofore known measured only a
little more than a third Of this. The
head portion was quite complete, which
is q rare thing in finds Of this charac-
ter. The head is triangular in shape
and has a third eye on the top OF
the skull.
