NEW YOllK, April 18. Thore are
handicaps when It comes to prosecut
ing deaf mules for slander. Albert Do
Montono discovered thorn whon ho
tried to have three men arrested the
other night for "talking about" him
and his wife with their fingers on a
subway train. Thoy went cheerfully
with him to the police station, where
thoy explained In writing that they
were talking In Latin and that prob
ably confused Mr. Do Montono. Their
accuser admitted tho difficulty of
proving his charge since there were
no available witnesses who under
stood tho sign language to say noth
ing of Latin, lie declared, howoVor,
that ho and his wife did understand
it and that the youths had spoken ot
his wife as a "swell kid," which he
insisted was not Latin at all. The
station desk man urged all parties to
"forget It," because of tho congest
ed condition of the courts, which thoy
reluctantly agreed to do.

should be limits to amiability or dig

to carry one's lunch, the restaurant
is not tho place to which to carry it.
Borne little headway was gained by
the lunch-carrying movement last
winter, but tho carriers found that
they missed their coffee and they did
not want it later; they wanted it along
with their sandwiches. So recently It
has become no strange thing to see
one come into a lunch room, order a
cup of coffee, and pull forth the sand
wiches from pockets to eat with the
lone cup of coffee. "They teem tiic
slowest eaters wo have, too," one pro.
prletor said. "And It makes mo ner
vous to see a table and a half an
hour taken up for a five-cent cup of
coffee." Tho signs aro the result.
The first tourist hotel for women
in the country has been opened It is
near tho main entrance of Yellow
stone park, at Livingstone, Monc, an'i
is tho enterprise of the Young Wom
en's Christian association. Although
it is still pretty chilly weather over
the country, tho offices of tho Na
tional Board of the Y. W. C. A., here
in Now York, Is already busy getting
out tho posters which are to declare
tho existence and attractions of the
hostelry all along all tho roads to the
great park. The hotel faces the moun
tains of the park and 4a said to have
-wonderful outlooks on all sides. But
no man can enjoy Its benefits, unless
ho Is a very little man, indeed, say
about two years old, Women alono,
ami women witli small children are to
bo the only guests accepted. Tho ratos
will be kept as reasonable as possible
in order to help t! v nmn-ni'i -i
less-money-earning sex who still yearn
to travel. Only a few years ago any
kind of hotel which was maintained
ror women was a distinct novelty. The
noxt thing, there will be observation
cars for us alone, maybe.

ASKS INDEPENDENCE WITH
OR WITHOUT PROTECTION
Manila, P. I. -The
people of the
Philippines want
Independence In
whatov'er form
they can get It,
M a n u e I Quezon,
president of the
Philippine senate,
declared In an ad
dress before that
body.
"Let the Ameri
cans In the Philip
pine and these In
Urn United Stales Manuel L. Queion
know that the pco- President Philip
pie of the Ph'llp. Pino Senate
pines covet their freedom, liberty ami
political emancipation so much that
they will not hesitate to receive from
the Congress of the United States
complete ami absolute Independence
without protection," Quezon said.
"If the United Stales, dictated by Its
own Interests, decides to extend pro
tection to the Philippines, well and
good. We would accept that as a so
lution of our problems. If not, let us
have abseliite Independence in what
ever form we can get It."
President Quezon declared that If
the question were put before the
Filipinos for a vote, OS per ist would
favoi absolute Independence.

rage owner. "Why have a bell that
only gives notice to someone to come
with a gun?" argued Mr. Grobert.
"Why not have the gun itself for an
alarm." Finding no negative response,
he perfected and rigged up a charge
of buckshot which would be released
on the opening of the safe door. In
consequence, poor Joseph Schmidt is
in tho hospital under a charge of bur
glary because he appeared at the hos
pital, asking for treatment for buck
shet wounds. It's very hard on rou
tine burglars when novelties of that
kind are Introduced.
iNew York had more or less of a
blow when Albert, Prince of Monaco,
"the man who owns the bank .it
Monte Carlo," arrived in town. De
spite any reports to the contrary, all
of us, in our hearts, expected a dash-
' ing, Interestingly wicked-looking per
son, whose conversation would be con-
cerned with the great subject of life
chance! And behold! Here is a pleas
ant, quiet, studious, serious, elderly
gentleman in our midst, whose chief
concern In life is to learn what sort
of things abound in the bottom of the
sea not pirate treasures but little
fishes and gentle things like that. In
spite of a general moral outlook, I
couldn't help being disappointed.

A TEST OF FAITH
(Chnttnnoogn News.)
We have frequent occasion to pro
test against the efforts of Jnpnn to
impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples, yet -we have thus far fulled
to exemplify the ideals which we rec
ommend to Japan. If we should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, in accordance witli our repeated
promises, we could the more consist
ently usk Japan to follow n similar
course toward Shantung, Manchuria
and Siberia. Our plea would have a
great deal more force If we could
make it with clean handsTo say that
tho Philippines are not ready for in
dtpoiidenco Is merely to xbress un
arbitrary, gratuitous opinion. It S
lierfectly easy to create conditions
In one's own mind thnt no people
ever could comply with. Our, dehJy
about respecting our own pledge Is a
rellectlon on our national good faith
and a constant Invitation to Interna
tional complications in the far east.
INDEPENDENCE OF PHILIPPINES
(Atascadero (Cnl.) News.)
. . . Tho Philippines should be
given absolute independence, which Is
their natural right, even if we nre
well aware that they have not yet
reached the full stnture of American
Ism. We ourselvos have not reached
It so long ns wo Insist upon govern
ing other peoples against their will.

Step on the Gas!
A few hills ahead mean noth
ing to the progressive business
man.
He is used to driving his car
and knows that a shift of gears
and a "little more gas" will put
the high spots behind him in jig
time.
r
Beyond the problems of the
present is" the smooth level road
of the future.
The outlook for business holds
no fears for the men who "step
on the gas and go to it."
The real good times the good
times based on normal values,
smaller profits and quicker
turnovers, the good times of
peace and plenty are right be
fore us.
