we decide TO postpone the building
of airplanes, submarines, airplane car
riers and cruisers with airplane plat
forms for fear of arguments resulting
In a special session.
The French, logical. determined. al
lowing nothing to Interfere with ma
tional defense, proceed to build
series OF armored cruisers of $4,000
tons each to offset the maryelously
efficient German cruisers, called min
iature battesllips'
And France Will continue building
submarines SHE knows that airplanes
and submarines represent. In the high
est degreeA the power to punish other
nations. AID that the nation with
power to punish is the one that Will
not be provoked or attacked.
II anybody attacked this nation
through the air. it could only burst
into tears. Ii Isn't prepared to resent
or punish anything
In Britain a car called the "Rorail,"
With two sets of wheels, has been sue
cessfully tried on British railroad
tracks and highways On the tracks
1t rolls on regular steel wheels. Ar
rived at the end OF its rail journey,
rubber-tired wheels are lowered below
the level OF the steel wheels. which
are inside OF the wheels with pneu-
matte rubber tires.
And the coach motor bus or truck
IL ready to leave the rails and finish
its journey on the highway.
II our railroads used such vehicles.
motor trucks and busses could not
successfully compete with railroads be-
tween large cities RS they do now.
And the value OF the railroads
rights OF way would be at least double.
When a Hon goes hunting, jackals
follow. When he has eaten his fill
they ent.
Crime develops the Jackals. When
a killer had finished his man and left
him lying dead In an alley, In the rear
OF 8S7 South State street. Chicago, two
young men. twenty and twenty-five
years old, following the murderer at
4 distance. stripped the corpse OF its
clothing as their share.
Detective Harold Fogarty got them
and the clothing, including the shoes.

In connection with Russia's plan to
eonscript women for industry, govern
ment taking care OF the babies while
their mothers are at work, you read that
this is done because Of 'the present
serious shortage Of labor In Russia
You wish we had that shortage here
and wonder how the Russians man
age 1t.
RussIas plan to open gigantic gov
eminent nurseries to care for babies
while mothers are working In mills,
forests fields, mines or factories, will
present problems that not even Stain
can foresee. Separating women from
their babies may be a dangerous eK-
pertinent, even In Russia.
1T Is pleasant to hear OF anyona's
happiness, and you will be delighted
to know that Ireland Is highly pros
porous, ''riding the wave OF world de-
preston" In 1890 the Irish exported
more than SD. 100000 of goods, which
Is better than merely shipping money
to British landlords. Irish banks are
steady, the Irish Free State budget
Is sound. Those that used to say the
Irish can govern anybody but them
selves" may have been mistaken.
They can also govern themselves, II
you get of their backs.
II you ever become we'll acquainted

zero, or one like her, don't trifie with
her affections.

cabaret, dancing with another girl,

An opera like "Cavallerlas or "Pag-
liacci" represents no exaggeration.
The Latin temperament feels every
thing, especially neglect, strongly.
Those that know say the affections
are as violent as the jealousy. II
must be an exciting life.
People in New York, greatest state
In population, are too busy to add to
population as they did once. The
birth rate has fallen 10000 In sixteen
years. Birth control advocates say
the state is getting fewer and bright
er babies" but that Is not convincing.
To Offset the decreased baby crop

Only 1T die in year. Deaths from
tuberculosis are diminishing steadily,
thanks to science On the other hand,
cancer and diabetes gather more and
more victims.
