Why Paint Toenails?
Slow Waltz, Less Fighting
! Watching the Hen Lay !
Vienna and what is left Of Austria
are threatened with a revolution.
Signs placed secretly on mail boxes
read:

united and be careful The day Of
revenge is coming" Signed "a
Fighter"
With that comes news that the
Vienna Paris London express train was
wrecked in Austria by the removal
of steel rail, causing the death of a
fireman and one other and injuring
many. The result of such tactics,
keeping travellers and money out Of
Austria, may be to bring revolution
more rapidly.
In New Orleans the convention Of

turers and distributors Of things that

Many things can be forgiven, but
hope and pray that ladies' and cos
meticians can be persuaded to give
up painting the toenails. It is
terrible thing when young woman
crosses her legs to see, peeping
out of new-fangled sandals, big toe
with a nail made to look like cabo-
chon ruby.
Knowledge of mob psychology is
shown in the statement of a night
club manager.
"When a fight breaks out in the
club the orchestra has orders to stop
jazz and everything exciting and play
slow, dreamy waltz. That quiets
them"
According to information obtained
by Mr.. "Whirligig," a quiet waltz
keeps those not interested in the fight
from joining it.
An intelligent Frenchman, Gustave
lie Bon, has written a book called La
Foule ("The Crowd"), that confirms
the night club managers theory.
Crowds do not reason; logical argu-
ments have no effect on them. But
music does affect them, and so does
loud yelling.
A distinguished American, living in
Spain, told how wonderfully fresh the
eggs were. The farmers wife would
watch the hen sitting on the nest,
taking the egg as soon as it was laid,
and give it to the American for break
fast
Similarly, the earnest, conscientious
American tax collectors watch the
country's business men sitting on the
industrial nest and take away the
dollar as soon as it is made.
The veterans administration In
Washington laid down the interesting
rule that blind veterans of the World
war should receive almost twice as
much as a soldier who lost a leg in
battle.
The legless veteran gets $119 a
month as a maximum. If he has lost
the use of both feet, or both hands, or
one foot and one hand and one eye, he
can get a maximum of SITS month.
A veteran totally blind is entitled to
$3.50 month, plus $50 for nurse
or attendant, "even though the blind
ness resulted from willful miscon-
duct"
Except insanity, no misfortune
is greater than loss of eyesight.
If you feel gloomy and perhaps begin
to feel that "the world is going to the
dogs" remember that the Gracchi be-
lieved it in Rome. long ago. Adam
and Eve believed it when they were
put out of the garden. The world has
always been "going to the dogs" yet
always getting better.
May first, according to the Presi-
dents proclamation, will be "Child
Health day." The best way to pro-
mote child health is to encourage
abundant distribution of the right
kinds of food for children, particu-
larly good, fresh milk, butter, eggs,
fresh vegetables, fruits, at reasonable
prices.
TO pay farmers to cut down pro-
duction of such things, and force up
prices, may be good for prosperity, but
it will not be good for the health of
children.
