Fashion can do what other
things can’t do. For instance, the
fashion in short skirts has made
fashionable restaurants and night
dancing resorts in London, cut
down the height of tables and
chairs. ■ It is impossible for women
with skirts up to their knees to
sit gracefully, not to say modestly,
at the regulation high table. So
the table legs are cut off.
I.ast year this country paid out
three billion dollars for automo-
biles.
That’s a large sum, but no
money was better spent. To
economise on automobiles would
mean to economise on fresh air,
health, happiness, and it wouM
mean waste of time more than
offsetting the saving in money.

ly relying on the Interstate Com-

is not scientific railroading.
It is suggested that income tax
payers be allowed to deduct from
taxable income what they have to
pay doctors.
If a man makes his income by
using machinery ho is allowed to
deduct from income whatever he
has to spend to keep the ma-
chinery in order.
The machinery used by a law-
yer, merchant or mechanic is his
own body and brain. If ho has to
^spend money to keep that ma-
chinery in order and fit to earn
revenue, OF COURSE he should
be allowed to chai

tax. And also he should be al-
lowed to deduct for each year
of wear and tear a fair charge for
DEPLETION.
A coal mine owner charges off
"depletion,” because his mine is
worth less each year.
What about the man whose
mine is his brain? That also is
worth less each year.

MOUNT THE SIREN
Few people on the north side of
the city knew of the fire in the
Beard building Saturday night, be-
cause the wind Hew the souira of the
fire bell the other way. The same
condition prevailed at the other fire
on the south side, except that the
conditions were reversed, the wind
blowing from the south, and south
side citizens did not know of the fire
until they came to town the next

The old crouper at Monte Car-
lo's gambling house said to this
writer long ago: "We don’t have!
to worry about profits. While
they have money, the strangers
stay and gamMo or spend it in
our hotels. When they haven’t
any more money, they go. The
money stays with us.” < .
So with Wall Street, if you

Mrs. Tennal, lady editor of the-
Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, tolls

every woman needs three hue-1
bands — one for society, one to
make money, one to look after
the housekeeping. “Present-day'
husbands are satisfactory, as far,’
as they go,” she says, but they
do not go far enough.
The learned Mrs. Tennal knows
that polyandry, meaning several
husbands,«was once the rule
among many nations. It still pre-
vails among certain semi-barbar-
ous peoples.
And the husbands manage to get
along fairly well.
