Several Oregon newspapers have claimed that the proposed ex-j tra session of the Oregon Legislature may remain in session indefi nitely., mat is a false alarm unless twenty days may be said to be an indefinite time.

But it places a definite limit of twenty days uu a special session. the age of the world in astronomical years. t ' Sir John Murray, one of the geolo gists, declares the age to be approxi mately, four hundred million years. but he must remember that since America has gone .bone dry a year seems twiee as long to some people as It used to. This will have to be taken Into account in making future calculation. .

Does Mr. Wilson require to be sup plemented In respect to heart? You may take M. Clemenceau's word for it. There is a fully authenticated story- that the great Frenchman at one conference said to Mr. Wilson : You have a heart of steel !i" It was the involuntary tribute of admiration from that inflexible personality whom all the world calls the "Tier' to superior hardness encountered W another bosom! . His story does not record whether M. Clemenceau had this expression wrung : from him the day before he got the Saar Valley settlement or the day before he had bis way about the French alliance.

In the. direction of di minishing; this incentive to save - by taxing private Incomes to provide funds for politicians to distribute un- productively. The line of Improve ment lies in the direction of better financial knowledge, closer restric' tion of food, more thrift.

When they have to buy they do not purchase costly rai ment; They haunt the second-hand shops and exchange hints as to bar gains that may be found. In London the Old Clothes clubs have been run ning for some time and certain mem bers of the house of lords have been accused of holding membership In the same. But mostly the purpose Is to educate the people to avoid ex travagant buying. There are lots of .men who; know how to buy almost anything: but their own clothes. When they ( get to decorating their frames they seem to lose their reck oning. The Old Clothes club serves as a clearinghouse for Ideas on thrift in connection with the appareling of its members.
