Mr Bryan believes that every woman will enlist in tne cause and that their power will force a federal constitutional amendment to that effect. He is a cheerful optimist who would change human "nature by act of congress and solve by simple edict a problem the wisdom of centuries has left un solved. , , ,. , It is not the men as a rule who refuse toleration and forgiveness It is the women who n?ver forget, or forgive the erring of their sex, and do forget and forgive the erring of the opposite sex, and just how government ukase can change their attitude in beyond mere man. Most efforts to place the sexes upon the same moral plane result in lowering women to man's level, instead of raising man to women's level and work towards the destruction of the home. However the men are quite willing to let the women decide the issue. Europe's proletariat favors bier and whine. A prophet is without brews, save in his own home. Ambassador: A contribu tor. Synonym, millionaire. Variety is the spice of life and the downfall of liars. Still, a fireless cooker is of no service to a fireless book. The landslide reminds us that ambassadors also come home to roost. Idiots never have red hair, though they may be addicted to red theories. Still, we shouldn't poke fun at the Bolshies, In the early days of America, owners of bathtubs were punished by a heavy tax. To err is human, and the British should be very patient with their Erin brothers. America wouldn't accept mandatories, but is sufficient ly interested to be an. observa tory. It is easier to understand what happened at Babel after one listens to the concert of nations. SLEEPY-TIME TALES tl7 M E T A L E MOT MUSKRAf iIarthuraScott pa I ley. m . TO A great many pious folk overlook the first part of the "Six davs shaft lllll t v thou labor." A sophisticated voter is one who lias learned that his gods not only have clay feet, but ivory heads. We stand rather in awe of the technic of the old masters but young girls who paint give us a pain. Now they remove the ap pendix without using ether. of profiteers JLTCWiv . - - they didn't know people could stand the shock. The immigrant isn't fully Americanized until he learns to be enthusiastic about base ball and pumpkin pie. McAdoo may die a violent death, as predicted, but it won't be because of his fail- ure to stand from under. Still, making a social func tion of the bath wouldn't be mora ridiculous than making a social function of eating. Little Willie told his Sun day school teacher that the minor prophets were those who told where the price of coal was going. In America the ambition of the proletarian is not to over throw the government, but to guess rjght concerning the activities of the stock market. It is much more pleasant to dej) with a highwayman than Cooperation the Solution Some 16,000 workers have been locked out by six firms of New York clothing manufacturers as the initial move in a war upon unionism, said to be nation wide in its scope, with the object of establishing the open shop and securing lower wage scales. - This attitude is in contrast with that of many other indus tries where employers having explained conditions to em ployes, find the latter willing to cooperate in keeping plants open by accepting reduced wages and in many instances, cheerfully working part time during the period of the depression. " rrn. a t-aA TnHnatriPs of the Inland Empire at I lie rvr.nuLicin.vt Spokane has voted to adhere to the eight hour day, and "condemn any individual employer who attempts to exploit the present surplus of labor." One benefit seems to be resulting from the slump generally, and that is the development of a better spirit of cooperation between employer and employe. Of course there are employ ers who stand-pat for industrial autocracy and are taking advantage of conditions and on the other hand there are em oii i,r,i-onennnhle. whose aim is really communism. " . - , f 11.. 4-U nl,,l-,rtv, Cooperation tor mutual wenare is reany me ouiunun v industrial turmoil. When the employer is wining to snare his prosperity with the workers and the latter equally willing oi,n,-Q thn lnHev's -adversity, labor wars will become a thing of the past and there are more industries than ever before in which cooperation exists. Price Declines . According to the Federal Reserve bank, price declines in the past six months are the most abrupt since the first six months of 1865, following the close of the civil war, yet throughout the period the availability of credits has pre vented disaster. . In foods, sugar has declined 54.5 percent since the peak month of June. Wheat 36.4 percent, corn 52.7 percent, oats 57.4 percent, potatoes 71.7 percent, Hour 88$ percent ami hogs (live) 24.5 percent. In textiles, cotton raw has declined 55.6 percent, cot .v.ic o jwnont. wool raw 46 percent, woolen goods. 25 percent, silk 63.5 percent, hides 43.9 percent, and leather 28 percent. Metals show declines of 12 percent for pig iron, 2b.2 per cent for copper, 28 percent for lead, 4 1.9. percent for tin, 14.3 .... i r - rr , 4- DiikKnf percent for steel, and bituminous coai oi.o percent, nuuuu has dropped 53.5 percent and lumber 10.5 percent. These declines are in wholesale prices. As soon as the gtocks held by retailers, secured under the old prices, are got rid of, new orders placed under the lower prices will start the wheels of industry and the depression will be over. While prices will not be as low as in the previous period, they Will be substantially lower over those prevailing the past year. Pink or Red? After Jimmy Rabbit had thouglii for exactly six .seconds, while Pad dy Muskrfkt waited, he jumped ui and knocked his heels together twice. "1 have it!" he cried.

"You don't understand," Paddy Muskrat told him. "I mean, will the color stay the same when it gels wet?" At that question Jimmy Rabhn looked a bit anxious. He swallowed once or twice and coughed two or tlirc times before -he answered. You see. he had to have a little time to think. "The ribbon will be just as hand some after it's wet as it is now," la id with another cheerful smile. But Paddy Muskrat was not yet satisfied. "I'll chew an end of the ribbon and sec what happens," Taddy re r' li ked. But Jimmy Rabbit wouldn't let hint do that. "This," he said, "is a hat-store. an eaiing-house.

"Yes, control, guide, steady her through the most critical period of her life?" The young fellow, plainly' un convinced, looked at Miss Quest out of troubled eyes.

ANIMALS ALL PLAY NATURAL PARTS IN NEW INCE PICTURE Silent Performers Han die Roles Skillfully in "Homespun Folks" An all-star cast of aninvils, un mentioned In the cast and yet playing remarkable parts and adding tremendously to the sym pathetic atmosphere, is one of the features of "Homespun Polks" the Thomas H. Ince Associated Producers special production which will be presented at the Oregon theater soon. Silent performers arc not new to the screen, but never before has the sympathetic atmosphere of scenes been so firmly established by dumb creatures as in "Home spun Folks." Joel Webster. a young son of the soil, is banished from the farm by his stern old father because he has passed his bar examinations and become a lawyer. Joel is the victim of un just wrath. His mother is sympa thetic, naturally, and heartbroken at hiH departure. However, me real pathos of the episode Is es tablished through the sad fare well of the placid old cow, the sympathetic whining of Joel's favorite dog and other clever and unusual animal touches. In other scenes of this great epic of rural America, "as well, at mospheric effects have been ob tained t.!hrough kindly flaithful animals, whose feelings may be expressed only through their yes or the furious wagging of ra tail.

The baby, un conscious of the impending dan ger, is knocked out or narm s way bv the timely leap of the faithful iinimal. Other homely touches. details that contribute to the establishing of "Homespun Folks" as one of the most humanly entertaining dramas of rural American life ever produced, bring murmurs of sympathy or smiles of understand ing as the animals add to the real Ism of the drama. Considerable difficulty was ex perienced by John Griffith Wray. who directed "Homespun Folks" in obtaining the desired results with the animals, and repeated efforts were necessary before the scenes were satisfactorily com pleted. Nearly half a day was de voted to the taking of the one brief automobile scene alone, and oth ers required corresponding pa tience and effort. (adv) stone in his hat. And when he jumped into the brook to go home he found that he could swim under water much, more easily than ever before. You see. the heavy stone kept his head down.
