CIO civ -irt,T w hear" that there was none of that old time crowd spirit, which when analyzed means rich enthusiasm, deep interest and very often, patriotic thrills. Of course, we are for the amplifiers, the radio apparatus and everything that is new. I5ut the fact remains that thousands did not stir 'from their homes in and around Portland because they could hear the nation's chief over their radios, and those who did go to Multnomah field failed to imbibe that zip and hurrah which was so pronounced at Meachani, and all because the amplifiers made it too easy to hear Mr. Harding in Portland.

All ye who flirt with dame fortune, all ye who riffle the cards find spin the wheel and play the races, take notice! A French savant is on the trail of knowledge of the future, whereby he can make gambling a science. What a chance for a "killing," if the ability to read the future should be restricted to a few favored cues. Think of the disastrous consequences that would come from wagcrjng on the outcome of game or race against one who knew . in advance exactly what would happen! Knowledge of the future would give a wager the dignity of an investment, with large re turn assured. Pending further developments, however, the play will go on. The rep'.rt from France may be startling lo those who swallow such items whole, but is not so to those who, from their reading of history, recall that, since recorded time began till now, prac tically every generation has brought forth soothsayers with claims of future sight. While skillful guessing enabled many of these "seers" to make out a prima facie case for their claims, no human being lias yet pioved possession of such a gilt. If the French savant should now demonstrate that he knows what will happen before- ithappens, his name will become more famous than that of any man who ever lived. 1IOMK, SWEKT.

Better bathing suits are in demand because people find that a well made woolen suit is best and cheapest in the end.
