Now comes Dr. Mayo .to announce the ultra- microscope which will stretch out the average life to seventy or more- There will be additional billions of billions of hitherto unseen enemies, of course, enemies so small that even the microscope could not reveal them. This will be additional horror, but eventually additional security, for seeing the enemies will be the first step in conquering them. This should be an especial lesson for the apostles of all creeds of all kinds of suppression. Nothing is terrible once it is dragged out in the open and into the light. It is the hidden things, the things covered Up, that do the damage. A W AIF IS REFUSED 3 6 0 OMTUE RAUCH-CURLY O j n S v Y l R ' < AND THE TWO’ S E E K JOB SXSEWHERR -T t?

There*Will be* young folks too at that time we surmise, but we shall all have become so disgustingly healthy and the medics will have developed such miraculous efficiency that we shall be germ-proof. The result w ill be an unusual percentage of old folks hanging around waiting for their arteries to harden before booking passage to. the new Jerusalem. Still germs aren't the only things which make life hazardous — and interesting. We may sterilize society and fumigate it and put it on a scientific diet and give it setting up exercises every morning and still leave it plenty of opportunity to play daily tag with death* The octogenarian fiiust have run the gauntlet of poisoned hooch, of grade crossings, of automobile hit and run speeders, of footpads and of county sheriffs who shoot first and investigate after. The process of getting to be 80 years old may be more scientifically regulated in the future, hut it is bound still to be an exciting one. What Will The Senate Do Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania spent some $700,000 to secure his nomination. Senator-elect Smith of Illinois spent some $600,000, a large part of it coming from the public utility corporations Subject to his jurisdiction as chairman of the state utilities commission. The senate is already on record as declaring that so comparatively modest a sum as $195,000, spent by Senator Newberry of Michigan, is harmfill, de­ moralizing, menacing to the republic and altogether intolerable. Will the senate therefore refuse to admit Vare and Smith to its August membership. Vanishing America The forest primeval. The old oaken bucket. The little red school. The one-horse shay.

The grand old party was the vlqtor in the recent elec­ tion in the state of O reg o n and, as a result, Frederick Steiwer, against whom the most malicious campaign that Oregon has ever witnessed wee waged, has won the Unit­ ed States ssnatorship by a substantial m ajority.

Patterson’s vic­ tory over Pierce surprises no one, ae the contributing fac­ tor to Pierce’s election four years ago has disappeared. Pierce vanishes with It, and Oregon takes a real pride in saluting its new governor. Isn't It Odd? AND XT* MÒSE .. Snob: One whose pedigree has gone to his head.

LONDON — Nearly 10,000 bottles of claret wine were deliberately poured into a drain la the Savoy hotel here not because of any American prohibition invasion, but be­ cause the wine was losing its quality. American visitors opined the Londoners were too discriminating.
