Loganberry Laughs By Robert Quillen. Oh, very well. Let us have an orgy of bargain hunting. Normalcy will also mean that a position will pay as much as a job. England loves us still. -Evidently blood is thicker than "Pussyfoot" Johnson. The wisest are tricked. A sucker is one who rushes for the same bait a second time. The only speed cop on the broad way that leads to de struction is an active con science. 0 0 0 0 The war game won't thrive , after a law is passed prohibit ing the manufacture of muni tions. The American woman has long held the deciding vote in the state of matrimony. Once a man gets interested in his rights, he has very lit tle time to t hink about his du ties. And then again, by speak ing softly one saves his breath for the rough-house when it comes. Given an epidemic of lock jaw among diplomats, the world would save itself in a few months. Money is hard to get at a reasonable figure, but you can always borrow trouble at the same old rate. The overall movement fail ed, but the process of defla tion is putting a little more pep in the movement of over alls. The viewer-wit h-alarm is so busy expecting something worse that he never recogniz es tha worst when it happens To Stabilize Commerce A syndicate composing some of the greatest financial figures in the United States has asked President Wilson to Approve an organization to stabilize world trade and rehabil itate American industry by affording a market for commod ities now unsaleable, through utilizing the half billion dollars of German capital and securitiese now in possession of the Alien Property Custodian as the basis of a $2,000,000,000 loan to Germany. The effect of the plan, if it materializes, is calculated to restore exchange to a nearly normal basis, start restoration of foreign trade now nearly prostrate because of the demor alization of European money values and inability to pur chase America's surplus, and the disposal of two billion dollars worth of commodities, the lack of a market for which is largely responsible for the precarious condition of manu facturing enterprises. The plan was workeed out by New York bankers, and has the approval of every great financial institution in the United States. The active organizers include Morgan & Co,, the Guarantee Trust Company, the Chase National Bank, Chas. H. Sabin, Thomas W. Lamont and ethers equally well known. It is stated that it is not In conflict with any existing statutes or prohibited by the Trading with the Enemy act, and Attorney General Palmer has stated that if the Presi dent sees fit to issue a decree permitting the utilization of the German property, he will be acting entirely within the powers conferred upon him by congress. Of the half billion of property now held by Custodian Garvin, $105,000,000 is in cash or Liberty bonds, the proceeds of sales made by the custodian. This will not be touched by the new organization, but left as security for the payment of American claims. Against the $400,000,000 securities re maining, the syndicate will deposit its own debenture bonds. The consent of Germany is required for the transfer, but has already been received as Germany is anxious for the success of the project which will insure raw materials for her factories as well as food and fuel. Germany is in desperate need of cotton, corn, wheat, copper, foodstuffs and various other corrfmodities which are in such abundance in this country that producers cannot market them except at prices entailing heavy losses. If the president decides that the law does not give him power to issue the decree asked, the matter will be presented to congress immediately after convening. Germany is regarded as the keystone of the European problem. Until the German indemnity is fixed, there can be no industrial peace and it can not be fixed until it is determined how much she can pay and live. The plan therefore means not only the stabilizing of America's demor alized markets, and the rehabilitation of Germany, but the reestablishment of European industry. It is an alternative to Hoover's plan to have the United States establish a fund of $500,000,000 to promote the reestablishment of trade relations. !

A man who was house hunting discovered the kind of home he wanted. The door was opened by a pretty maid. He asked her some questions nervously, for he was a timid man. Presently, remember ing the servant problem, he said: "And are you to be let with the house?" "No," answered the maid; "if you please, sir, I am to be let alone." JOURNAL WANT ADS PAT 84 aguely smiling, remans A Boy Marvel Samuel Rzeszewski, a nine year old Polish boy, has de feated, individually and collectively, all the champion chess players of Europe and America. He has played 20 games at a time, each against a master of chess, going rapidly from one table to another and defeated each opponent, and he has played single-handed against the combined skill of the twenty. His moves are made with lightning rapidity and he never fails to score victory. Not only has he vanquished all opponents but he has solved in record time all difficult and seemingly insolvable problems proposed by experts. He is indeed a wizard of chess, and proves again the adage that genius is born and not manufactured. Here is a subject that must interest psychologists: how does it come that a young school boy has such an un canny knowledge of such an obstruse subject? The average boy of his age is not interested in chess lacks concentra tion of mind necessary to master the involved game Indeed chess is not a popular game, it involves too p1Uch mental effort. It is a game of pure skill mastered by comparafive Jy tew. And yet a mere child confounds the world's experts without apparent effort. How this youth acquired his marvelous skill is a prob lem of far more interest to the average individual that the game of chess, but we fear, it will be unsolved, and we must resort to the old explanation of "genius" that does not explain, to conceal our iirnorance men, i standing. When she returned, Meachan; seated her. She picked up the blossom beside her plate, saw the other at the unoccupied place op posite, and her eyes' suddenly fill ed. There was a monent's silence, then sho kissed the petals and placed the flower in her hair. "My idea," she began, cheerful ly, "is to waste no time in life! So I think I'd like to go to the then ter all the time " The men's laughter checked her Mid she joined in. "You do understand, both of you!" she insisted. "You're tor menting me and you know it! 1 don't go to the theater to amuse mvself.

"Steve, for Heaven's sake, be n human -girl for a few moments and have a good time!" "That's my way of having a good time. I wish to go to studios and see painters and sculptors at work! I wish to go to plays and con certs ' "How about seeing a real au thor at work, Steve?" i'You?," she divined with a dain ty sniff. "Certainly. Come up any morn ing and watch genius work a lead pencil. That ought to educate you and leave an evening or two for dancing " "Jim, I positively do not care for parties. I don't even desire to waste one minute of my life.. Or dinary people bore me, I tell you " "Do I?" "Sometimes," she retorted, with delighted malice. And turning swiftly to Cleland Senior: "As for you, darling, I could spend every minute of my whole existence with 'ou and not be bored for one sec ond!" and backward and forward, wagon jolted over ruts and and thank-you-ma'ams were small ridges liuilt down, as the stones which across the road, to turn the water into the ditch when it rained. Cowering inside the bag, Sandy Chipmunk thought the earth was rocking, for he had never ridden in a wagon before. ' Ordinance Asked to Regulate Heat In Denver Hotels Denver, Nov. 27.

If you never heard the story, this is the way It happened and if you have heard it, it happened this way, just the same: Farmer Green's wife had no ticed that the flour in her flour barrel was setting low. So one morning Farmer Green pulled a wagon from under a shed and set a big bag of wheat in it, behind the seat. Then he went into the house to gret a piece of string with which to tie the bag. Farmer Green hadn't seen a pair of bright eyes that were watching him from the fence nearby. And' he didn't know that as soon as he started to cross the barnyard, Sandy Chipmunk stole up to the wagon, climbed into it, and crept inside the open bag of wheat. Now, Sandy had not had his breakfast. So he began at once to eat heartily of the wheat kernels, believing that after he had had a ood meal it would be time enough to think of carrying some of the wheat away to his house. He only hoped that no one would take the bag away until he had nil the wheat. There was enough of it he was sure to last hira for any nnmber of winters. Now. you must not think that Sandy was greedy, because he wanted all that wheat. He intend ed all the time to leave the bag for Farmer Green. The wneat tasted so good that Sandy Chipmunk could think of nothing else. So he never heard Johnnie Green's father when he he came back from the house. And before Sandy knew what was hap pening.
