makes a woman to be dumb about
these things especially about run
ming a car.
For instance, until a woman
learns how to drive a car herself ,
she is usually impressed or thrilled
at the skilfull way in which a
man handles the wheel, eases
through traffic, skins past lights
or cuts corners. 1t is all so
wonderful!
But AFTER she learns, she is
captious, critical and nervous. She
can see Just how crude his tech
nioue and how reckless his Sys:
tenn! And an occasional grinding OF
the gears may inspire her to some
very CALLING and caustic remarks.
She doesn't enjoy flirting with
death.
And, in other ways. men may
have been happier when women
were helpless and unsophisticated.
They may have had to work
harder to "take care" Of their
dear little ducky-wuckies; but
they were certainly more admired
and looked up to and regarded as
infallible and all that.
Before women learned how to
make a living for herself, she
was content and grateful to re-
ceive the monthly allowance, "
doled out by her lord and mas
ter. But, once a woman has

put her on the wrong side Of
Kiram's ledger.
He was, at heart, a peaceful
man and anything like trouble
annoyed him.
AS a consequence, Tarhata lost
favor, and the Princess Dayang
Dayang took over the business
while Uncle Hiram rode about
in his truck, went to the Philip
pine Legislature and tried to
fill inside straights while the
bowl overlooked with coconut
punch.
Dayang Dayang made bid for
the throne after Hiram passed on,
and for a time it looked as though
the bolo knives would be swinging
wide and handsome. She could
not make it for herself and then
proposed her husband.
81 But the brother of Hiram had
preferred claim, as a direct de-
Scendant of the Prophet.
He told the 42-year-old Princess
that if she did not abdicate, and
at the same time have her huS-
band get out of the contest, there
would be trouble.
The trouble was avoided and
the brother, Rajah Mudah, is the
new Sultan.
There is little information on
hand about this gentleman. But
we may safely say that there never
will be another Hiram, a Sultan
who was worth every cent Of the
$500 which he was paid out Of
the United States Treasury.

ACROSS THE ANDES

The trip across the Andes IS
one of the highlights Of the trip
to South America. The Trans
andean railway, which starts at
Los Andes, a delightful Chilean
resort near Santiago and termin-
ates at Mendoza in the Argentine,
now has competition in the form
of airplane service. And so
now travellers who have made the
trip by train can experience the
plane ride high over the Andes,
making the whole trip in eight
hours.
From the train, one sees the
Aconcagua river flowing through
fields of brilliant-hued flowers.
Then, as the train climbs, barren
rocks and steep cliffs flash by,
with here and there rushing
waterfalls. The train climbs to a
5000 feet elevation, passing Lake
meas, al whose waters are mir

peaks. At Caracoles, at a height
Of nearly 1000 feet the train

long, long time the matter of
technique candidates display in
kissing babies has been considered
quite an asset in vote-getting.
My attention has been called in
the past two weeks. however, to
the youngsters, aging from four
to seven, who seem to be innocu-
lated with a more adult reason
ing anent tomorrow's fight.
There was the young man who
sat at the dinner table in a deep
study absent-mindedly eating his
spinach without a protest. Finally
he looked up at his father:
dad, who are you for in this
electiOn?" he queried.
I'm for LandOn, son." was
the reply. "WhO are you fOr?"
"I'm for Roosevelt" this very
emphatically.
"HOw Gomez" asked proud
papa, seeming an opportunity
to wax long and fOrcefully into
a political argument.
"I'm for him, that's ALL" re-
piled the yOungster, "but there's
one thing that's bOthering me.
Did he have anything to do
with that law against shooting
firecrackers on Fourth of July?
Because if he did I'll be against
him."
And it wasn't at all strange
that father found himself rather
stumped. Because. you see, poppa
had refused to let his son shoot
off the firecrackers on the Fourth
because he was afraid the young
ster would hurt himself. He shot
off the explosives himself and
was arrested for doing so after
his neighbors complained.

his boast that the women Of his
household never questioned his
authority, but bowed down in the
dust.
The truth Of the matter was
that the woman did not question
his authority because there was
no need of doing so. Like the
American husband, Hiram was
wise enough, or reconciled enough
to be satisfied with the shadow
of domestic authority while the
females had the substance.
In his later years, Hiram did
the strutting and collected the
rents, but two of his neices ran

themselves to run it.

With hearing due shortly the petition Of the Cap

that relations between the two should be strained
Yet recent months there have been frequent clashes
between the company and the public number of

company no good.
The most bitter of these disputes was over one-man

Maybe so but we doubt it.
While the oneman car dispute is still in progress the

the company that it prepare program for systematic

This stock must of course be replaced, and the

It is unfortunate therefore that the company reply to

The interests of the company and its patrons are
