Showing Their Colors Why do many of our city newspapers, and we regret to see the custom aped by small town papers also, deem it necessary to mar appearance and increase the difficulties of perusal by inserting sheets of as many colors as Joseph's famous coat? Do not the scare-heads scream loud enough to attract atten tion? It is necessary to make confusion worse confounded in this age of jazz ? Colored paper was used for block-typed dodgers and stud horse posters to take the place of the town-crier in the days before the development of newspaper advertising, presumably because the colors appealed to childish curiosity and led to opening suid investigating the fly-by-night notice. For the same reason it is still utilized in the hick towns where the moss-back merchants use posters instead of papers, clinging to the ways of a bye-gone day. But for the newspapers, pages of varied colors are a comparative innovation. How the custom originated, we do not know, but it has had a surprising development as a feature of flash journalism. The first color used was pink, for a sports section, presum ably after the English sporting paper "The-Pink-Un" or our own delectable "Police Gazette," the color pink having become associated with sports because of the scarlet coats, called pinks, worn by fox-hunters, hence by extension, fox-hunters and finally sportsmen. So a pink paper meant a sporting paper. Perhaps red or pink is a correct color to denote profes sional sport, for red appears at the lower end of the visible spectrum and is therefore emblematic of lower intelligence. Theosophists give red to the baser passions, like anger, and hold the less developed spiritually and intellectually, the more primitive, the redder and less luminous the astral body. If pink may be said to be emblematic of sports, blue is equally symbolic as the color of devils, yellow as the emblem of the cowardly and contemptible, and green of the half- baked, so perhaps all these colors and their blends are suitable hues for modern newspapers catering to moron majorities. SOLUTION OF YKSTKKDAVS Westernizing the Espee Retirement of Julius Kruttschnitt as chairman of the executive committee and of the board of directors of the Southern Pacific Company on May 31 after 48 years con tinuous service, means transfer of the executive and oper ating head to the Pacific coast from New York. Supervision of operations, heretofore exercised by Mr. Kruttschnitt will be under the direction of the president, William Sproule at San Francisco. Only the financial headquarters will remain in New York. The change will be beneficial both for the company and the region it serves, for a western railroad cannot be managed as successfully from a Wall street office 3000 miles away as from-an office with the necessary authority, located in the heart of the system. Necessarily long-distance management gets out of touch with the public it caters to, for the view point is different and often divergent. Mr. Sproule is a western product, first entering the employ of the Southern Pacific in 1882 as a freight clerk at San Francisco, and With the exception of five years in New York, has spent his life on the coast, being company president since 1911. Under his regime, progressive policies have been followed that have gained public confidence and made the railroad a cooperative factor in the development of the terri tory it serves. Since Mr. Kruttschnitt became chief executive, following the dissolution of the Harriman merger with the Union Pacific in 1913 the Southern Pacific lines have grown from 10,000 miles and $143,000,000 gross annual earnings to 155,550 miles and $300,000,000 earnings. An even greater growth is probable in the coming decade, with a western man in sympathy with the west and its development directing anairs.

She must be fed with fuel for her brain and heart every min ute. "For the last two years I hare been able to bring It to her. "It you and I find that when I reach home, I can no longer do so. I am sure what she will do. Lille's heart almost stopped beat lng for she too dt-t not know what her mother would do when he found out tiie awful trutn. Am tar as ah herself was con cerned. Harold Kennedy had shown himself a cad. What would her mother do when she found It out? All at once it came to her that morning; when ahe rend that direful letter from Robert Mc Lean which apelled for her the end cf the world. Would all the world turn black to her mother when ahe thought that Harold did noi lov herT Would all t-.e earth setm a molten ball, burning up her very soul? Was it possible that after a woman waa as old as her mother That love might hold even a greater place in her life than in one as youn? an herself? She began to be a little worried ever the crarj'ing out of her plan, The loss ot her mother's money had never entered it. To lose one's money n well as one's love would be an added agony with which she hud not reckoned. "HaroM," h pleaded, "won't you try to Influence mother to take back that part of the oil field she has given me." "No, dear, I do not think X con do that." "Why not? "Because the time has come when your mother will have to Hhoulder nomo responsibility. All the thrill of Irresponsibility is now ovor, 1 have found lately that she Is going from one thing to anotner ly In constant longing to una something nu. She will nave to work to be hippy. Surely you can aee that, Lille, can ycu not?" 'No. Harold, I confejs I cannot tea It.

"If you will not help nfe lo keep her ba ahe is, a Joyous, happy. beautiful butterfly, 1 nha'.l try to do it myself." "You don't seem to know your mother, Lille, but that Is not at range. You have been so long away from her. You never saw her in this guise. I know, underneath all her butterfly Inclinations, there is a longing to do something more than Juet to live for herwlf from Cay to day. "If I know her, nnd I think I do, when she finds out the real ftate of her affairs, she will not let cither of us do anything for her. She will work out her own salva tion. "Lille, your mother Is a very wonderful woman." "You need not tell . me that, Harold. It is because ahe is so wonderful, It la because ahe baa nlwaya been to wonderful that I want her now to have her reward."
