The Cuckoo -ClocK Merger.
(New Yorl; World.)

In this age of mergers the euckoo-clock companies of the Black Forest in Germany have merged, and we trust that their first atep now will be to i'm prove the quality of their product it is on their ability to do this after all that the wisdom of their step will be judged It would be an excellent idea, we believe if they would manufacture clock which had whole chorus of cuckoos instead of only one. This would have two advantages. In the first place would enable the various companies in the merger in some degree at least, to retain their respective identities. Each company would manufacture the same cuckoo as it has manufactured in the past painting it the color and endowing it with the same voice. Instead of attaching it to the same clock, however, it would ship it to the plant into the standard clock to be advertised interna- tionally as the Vogegesanguhr. And in the second place, 1t would awaken interest in cuckoo clocks which has langushed alas, since the advent of the modern kultur with its addition to straight lines simplicity and the elimination of the gewgaws that delighted earlier age.
 Say what you will a cuckoo clock with ten cuckoos jumping out at you instead of one would make people sit up and take notice It would be impossible to ignore such a clock And when all ten cuckoos began to chirp the hour everybody would know what time it was and there would be no more of this business of being late for dinner engagements. We would be willing probably. to start movement for the installation of such a clock in our own Mayors office and that would give It good start right away. On the whole if the CUCKOO clock trust awakens its opportunities we believe It has real future before it.

JOHN MARSHALL NOT FIRST CHIEF
 JUSTICE.

New York Times picture of the unveilng Of a statue of John Marshall at Philadelphia calls him the first Chief Justice of the United States. The Times ought to buy a World Almanac for its rotograveur editor John Marshall was not the first Chief Justice. He not the second nor even the third. John Jay of New York was the first Chief Justice. John Rutedge of South Carolina was second and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut was third John Marshall of Virginia was the fourth Chief Justice and served from 1901 until his death in 1835-thirty-four years He is probably the most famous of all the Chief Justices, although Roger B. Fancy of Maryland who succeeded him and occupied the position for twenty-eight years also is ranked high a jurist.

THE CATS MEETING By Mary Graham Bonner

Ladies and gentlemen of the noble cat family" began the cat who was making the speech, i've are gathered here to make our plans for the future. This is the first big meeting ever held by cats
 ITO be sure there have been cats before now, and they have set us a fine example.
 Tt is because of their example that we wish to do everything of which they may feel proud.
 "The members of our family have been lazy They have always chosen the most comfortable places in which to sit and in which to sleep.
 They have shown that they were worthy of having others do a great deal for them. When the sun has been shining they have sat in the warm sunshine, and when it has not been shining they have chosen as warm spot as they could find.
 They have always gone in for comfort and for laziness. Now that is an example for us to follow so we will never disgrace the short but noble name of cat"
 All the cats me-owed at that and waved their whiskers and blinked their eyes as though to show how fine they thought the speech was which the cat speaker was mak- ing.
 John and Peggy and the Little Black Clock sat and listened. The cats did not notice them. They were too busy with. their meeting.
 And then and there all the cats agreed that they would be as lazy as they could be all their lives. To be sure they would catch mice but that, they said, would be Q pleasure.
 But they agreed to take all the comforts they could in life and al- low themselves to be petted and spoilt without showing too much devotion and without spelling those who petted them.
 It was the beginning of their cat history.

A Use for Husbands.
Manchester Guardian.l


 The Marlborough Street Magistrate has just been rewarded for sitting Christmas Eve by really novel marraige tangle which came before him through the agency of the Aliens Acts A woman who was charged with disobeyng expulsion order claimed that she was no longer alien, as she had recently married British subject The police argued that she undoubtedly alien at the time the order was made and obviously justice must not be cheated by her subsequent marriage The matter has been submitted to experts for their opinion, that it is still uncertain if mar riage-liners are more potent than all the Home Secretary'S warrants. But if this is so a terrible prospect is opened up. The most Draconian of Home Secretaries will find himself unable to defend his country by clearing out the Reds" for even though he may deport female Bolsheviki he will not be able to keep her out long as there is true-born Englishman chivalrous enough to rescue damsel in distress, while of course all her chil- dren will be British in even if Russian in politics. But would any sef-respecting Home Sec retary submit tamely to such defeat? Would he not rather change the law so that in future an ex- pulslon order may be as much an impeachment to lawful matrimony as the table of consanguinity or the existence of another wife? Or would be per- haps seek new Act of Parliament to empower the Kings Proctor to petition for compulsory di- vorce?

IS IT A RAID ON PANTAGESS
 MILLIONS?

That million dollar damage suit against Alex ander Pantages suggests that Eunice Prngle might have had eye for big money from the beginning. It has been a queer case. Sometimes it would seem that the theatrical manager might have fallen among a lot of lawyers and others that coveted the fifteen twenty millions that he is supposed to have accumulated
 Eunce charges in her complaint that she had received lot of undesirable publicity and she asks for a half million to recompense her for that On the other hand there has been paucity of evidence that she tried in any-wse to curtail the scandal. It is barely possible that she is wiser than her reputed years. Then again, she might have been very adroitly advised
 No matter how it may all come out, Pantages stands to lose lot of money and prestige

MILAN company, she writes:
1.-THE city holds the key to the rich
trade of the west and northwest in
whiskey, wine, gin and beer, exactly
as 1t does in wheat, hogs, furniture
and more staple commodities. Bour-
bon now comes from Canada and is
cleared through Chicago, arriving on
motor trucks, steamers, freight cars
and airplanes from Detroit and other
points along the border.
Certain Chicago citizens point out,
almost with pride, that if other cities
have escaped the bootleg wars, it is
because they are less strategically To-
Gated than Chicago in the scheme Of
