BONUS SEEKERS SHOULD RETURN
 HOME

The outbreak of violence between war veterans encamped in the national capital and poiice authori-
 ties, with casualties both sides is to be regretted and deplored Yet it the inevitable outcome of such procedure that which the disappointed bonus seekers have followed since they first de- bouched upon Washington short time before Con- gress adjourned They went there in high hopes that their presence in force would sway the calm Judgment of the nations lawmakers and executive officers into voting for cashng adjusted service pensation certificates at time when the whole country was and is demanding not more but less governmental expenditures. It a deliberate attempt to tactics that ought not to be encouraged in this country. If it successful, every class of the population with real or fanced grievances would be tempted to emulate the service mems tactics Debt-ridden farmers, dssatis fled railroad unions, other strong labor organiza tions whose numbers surpaSs even those of the veterans could hardly be blamed if they too gath cred en masSe to coerce Congress into enacting legislation they might seek to ameliorate conditions
 Congress adjourned days ago after having defin- itely rejected the measure that would have given the so-called Bonus Expeditionary Force what 1t demanded. Its further demand for special session of Congress has been uncompromsingly rejected by the President, and very properly so. Provision has been made by Congress to defray the expenses of all who made up the Washington army, Many have already taken advantage of it. All of the others ought to do likewise. There is single advantage to be gained by further occupancy of the national capital Public sympathy has been with the veterans for their plight but not for their demands. Con- tinuance of the procedure that led to the roting recently in Washington will result in the loss of the personal compassion felt for them.

SPENDING THE ENFORCED
 VACATION.

During the current fiscal year most of the many thousands of employees of the Federal Government will take enforced 30-day vacations without pay" This is part of the Administration plan to ball. ance the top-heavy national budget. Maybe it wasn't such bad idea.
 The thought seems to have occurred to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior that many of these Government employees. through long un- familiarity with leisure moments, will find difficulty in making their vacations enjoyable. At least it must have been to them and not to the millions of unemployed without present jobs hope of immediate future ones that he addressed his recent statement urging Americans to make use of their enforced leisure time in visiting National Parks" Tn these trying times" he added it is wise to conserve ones health lat all costs" and certainly a vacation in the mountains, particularly in the National Parks, is investment in health that cannot fail to make the nation richer"
 This advice is sound to those who have the money to spend during their enforced leisure" But to the millions who seek jobs for bread and butter with to be had, it reads like a bit of irony.

in 1881. Although in common with other industries the mining industry showed a decline in the dollar value for the period under review satisfaction was expressed at the excellent way which mining was maintained despite the unprecedentedy severe metal-market conditions
 Gold mining in British Columbia has been rela- lively unimportant in the general mining industry there for several years Now it is responding to an energetic attack evidenced by increased produc- tion, and greater expansion is anticipated in the future The Provincial Government for the past three years has done considerable to stimulate in terest in it's likely god-bearing regions It has circulated special reports of geology and mineral surveys and issued frequent bulletins on both lode and placer mining

 T don't think he minds" Son. dra said absently. He seems to enjoy being semidetached quite well,, and I certainly don't want him for husband, thank you"
 Decent fellow, Anderson" Ben Lomax put in apologetica1ly. He was always trying to join in his wife's conversation in spite of the dozens of times she had snubbed him for the attempt, he always reminded Sondra of an outcast dog, hanging tenaciously to some cne's heels hoping for a kind word.
 T always liked him." he added.
 T should think he'll be delight ed to hear that" his wife said, with sarcasm.

BRIGHTER SKIES?

Associated Press reports from many sections of the country tell of spots where the depression is being leavened with returning employment This is a welcome alteration in the trend of conditions that have swept the country for more than two years. New contracts are being let, mills and factories announcing resumption of opera tions long suspended Securities markets are ad- vancing, slowly to be true, and commodity prices that lifted some three weeks ago holding if not adding to their gains.
 There is room for all the improvement so widely announced and joyfully acclaimed The employment of hundreds of thousands of workers on public highway construction puts more men to work supplying them with materials and transportation to keep them on the job and the work moving When factories resume operations other workers have to be employed to furnish them with materials ana supplies. Whether the improvements are sea- sonal and temporary remains to be seen. At any rate the skies are brighter just now, and maybe the nation has finally reached that ong-sought corner around which prosperity officially has been declared to be lurking

said briefly.

They drew a little to one side away from the crowd while Lo- max fought his way to the cloak room.
 Sondra's eyes were eagerly search ing for Mark Merriman.
 Would he come and speak to her? As far as she could see he had been alone in the theatre.
 Presently she saw him making his way to her side
 How are you?"
 He did not take her hand, he just looked at her steadily with the only eyes that had ever made her heart turn over, ever made her so happy that she felt she could cry.
 Her father had always said that love was merely an hysterical kind of illness.
 I'm very we'll thanks she said
 Her voice was quite composed, and she met his eyes steadily, be- traying nothing of what she felt
 Fine show, isn't it?" he asked with enthusiasm.
 Very good"
 Ought to run for a couple of years" he said. He was always pleased with life and everything it offered him in the way of en- joyment.
 "Yes, I should think 1t ought" Sondra agreed.
 He glanced around.
 Has your sister gone?"
 No; she's talking to some peo- pie over there We're waiting for Ben-and then we're going on to the Gaspers."

One of the few things that seem to be on the increase these days is the desire to take off the textile coverings whereby differentiated him. lself from the animals forty thousand years Iago, and go naked. Nudist colonies are cropping up in various corners of the map nudst books and magazines peek out furtvely from the lurid panoply of the newsstands nudist clubs are raided would be nudStS are discovered to be more curious than orthodox and thrown out by the nudists into the harsh old-fashioned world of shirts shoes and trousers.
 The lot of the hundred per center is hard The ears of the police and of the public prick up at rumors of nudism, while every one seems to have forgotten that the history of the stage and the bathing suit for the last decade is that of vari- able approaching zero as a limit In point of square footage of clothing the difference between the most fervent most persecuted nudist and the human contents of any large bathing beach is negligible. But the nudists will be content with nothing less than zero.
 We leave the morality of nudism to such as have insisted, from time immemorial that the human body is one of natures greatest errors We more interested in the esthetics of nudsm Imaging ourselves (and at any American seaside resort this requires no great effort) to be on the verge of sudden liberation of the body from all clothing; we rise to insist that nudity ought not here and now to be within the grasp of all Man has too often become an unsightly animal and when he has he should by all conceal his pallid deformites from the mockery of other beasts Nudiss should be licensed, like automobile drivers

 Compulsory nudism, on the other hand would do more to bring the back to Phdias and Praxitees than all the beauticans and reducers in the world. There is the alternative The oues- ton should be studied further. Fortunately there is ample time in which to do so for while nudism may seem to be gaining ground, 1t is still and under present climatic conditions will long continue to be, far of hot weather topic of converse tion than menace or a crisis

 Good night"
 She saw him turn up the collar
 of his coat before he stepped out into the street, where drizzline rain fell steadily. John and his sister had driven away in Johns big limousine, but
 Sondra knew that in all probab- ility Mark would walk home or climb on to bus at the carner. Flora grumbled all the way to
 the Gaspers.
 Did you see that dreadful Mrs.
 Singer making eyes at young Bath urst as usual? What the men see in that woman passes my compre- hensiOn. And the appalling cloak she was wearingl Where in the world does she buy her clotheS?"
 And now I suppose we've got to be bored for another couple of hours" Flora went on. "The Gas perS SnOWS are always deadly, in my opinicn. Why people want to entertain at all if they can't do it decently I never can under stand"
 Sondra only half listened. Her thoughts were far enough away. She sat looking out of the win dows of the big car, her heart following Mark Merriman through the wet night.
 She knew where he ived-in rooms, in an unfashionable part of the city. She had never been there, for Mark was not the kind of man who would suggest that to a girl should visit him in the rooms even supposing they had been the last word in luxury. He was very conventional, Sundra thought.
 Its such a pity John Anderson ;ant get rid of Evelyn" Flora said suddenly. He'd make such splendid husband for you. Il

 had never. grown acclimated to her unkindness.
 The big car stopped noislessly outside a gloomy looking house
 with an awning and a red carpet reaching down to the curb.
 And now for purgatory," Flora said. Ben, I do wish you would be less clumsy; you've got your feet on my gown"
 Sondra stood waiting while her sister shook some imaginary dust from her skirt, she was so used to it all-the daily bickerings and one sided vituperations-that as a rule she hardly heard or needed, but tonight it all added to her weariness.
 If only she could get away from it all. She was just as anxious to leave her sisters home as Flora was for her to leave it, and yet how?
 She mad no money and noWhece else to go, and as their father had once said-if ever either of them tried to be useful, heaven help them! AS if they were to blame They had never been taught t be useful-only how to dress and to make themselves attractive.
 Flora swept up the steps to the house, and her husband and Son. dra followed.
 This was her life. Sondra was the eternal sweeping in , and out of other peoples houses. l Going to bed worn out and bored, | getting up again to face another 1, Jay just as monotonous and unin-

 He turned away and joined the woman who had sat by his side in the theatre; she had only bow ca frigidly to Sondra, and the girl laughed as she looked after her.

 What woman?" Flora asked.

Pershing's Teeth "Gold
Mine" for the Marines

A story about General Pershing's
teeth was told by Mark Sullivan
during authors night at the book
sellers convention. General Per-
shing, he said, had trouble with his
teeth. A corps of famous doctors
insisted the general have them re-
moved pronto. So the general hied

aghast. They dispatched an army
sergeant to round up the purchas-

The sergeant didn't return for
days. When he did-and he was Sc

he produced PIG teeth, all guaran-
