T Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry In most of llio Mon.lay luornlni; pa nels of tho country tlnne appeared an item that a patent medicine, towil: Wlno of J'opsin contained 25 per cent alcohol. The puhlic now knows tho liorrlhle trulli, and drug Htores with ' this hellish concoction on their shelves yielding to popular deinatnl, heaved the same Into the alley. . Things were looking prelty black until a Harvard professor discovered that Ncliuln Drier No. 581 was travel ing away from the earth. "'YOU OA N'T HEAT WHITE'S TOII CHOCKItlKS" (Ad Montague Mes senger). Fair warning. UK SAN JOSE MEKCCJiY is inncli exercise! over the divore. evil. Id tin extensive editorial it is conclusively shown, that if divorces continue to increase at the present rate, they will soon out number the marriages! As'a remedv more strict divorce laws are urged. Probably divorce is too easy in many states. But divorce is too difficult in others. "What is needed is a federal divorce law, attainin a haty medium between the two extremes, which would standardize and stabilize the procedure. The present method of travelling about from slate to state to shake the marriage bond is demoralizing. Jlarriage is not a state, but a nn tional institution. There is no good reason for 48 different methods of divorce, one method, provided it is properly arranged, should suf fiee for a solution of most martial problems.' .Meanwhile it might be well to cast an eve upon marriage. Di vorce is too easy, but marriage is much easier. Perhaps the law can provide no cheek, but there should be encouragement to a social cus tom, which would allow some slight pause, before the obligations of matrimony are assumed. T'nder present conditions, the average groom, exercises far less care in the selection of a life mate than he does in the selection of an automobile. Few prospective wives put as much thought on the char acter and qualifications of the man they are to wed, as upon the char acter of the gown they are to wear when they wed him. This is an age of specialization. Some one sliould specialize on marriage. .Scientific charts should be compiled tiliuwiiiir the relative values and dangers of propinquity, a peach .blown complexion, a eu pids bow mouth, smooth talk, rough manners, flashy neck ties, short .skirt . etc., etc. And then some good exhorter like Biily Sunday tdiould be engaged to travel from place to place and explain them. Education, that's the great need. The trouble today is that most husbands and wives only learn about marriage by experience. Ex perience may be the best teacher, but it is an all-fired expensive one. If the potential brides and grooms of today, knew as much about the nature 01 marriage as tlie.y do about jazz or facial calcimine, there might be no fewer marriages, but there would certainly be less hasty ones. And its the hasty, thoughtless marriage that breeds divorce more than loose divorce laws.

"V7"ESj YES, we'll do tlie best we eaii to keep our New Year X pledges, and look with scorn on any man who loses nerve and hedges. Temptations every hour assail, and say, "Your pledges hurt you," but tip to date our vows prevail, mid we are strong for virtue. AVc made our vows with main ami might, es chewing habits eheesey. anil if our friends would treat us right, our triumph would be' easy. J? inch would say to us, "(,'ee whiz'l You bravo, repentant sinners, wo know how hard the struggle is, but surely you'll be winners," wc! be inspired' to carry on, to press the moral battle; alas, the words of James mid John are' prone our souls to rattle. Too cynical are John and James; they take it all for granted that we've gone back to those cheap games1,from which we gallivanted. They laugh at all the snored vows o'er which we brood and ponder; it is a shame the law al lows such guys at large to wander. For they discourage soulful jays who would old sins abandon, and when they've guyed us, forty ways, we have no vows to stand on. Oh, Vender, 'as you travel by the highways and the hedges, don't josh or jeer the earnest, guy who's made a string of pledges. It may be vows all suffer blight, but why should you remind him? Just help him struggle to the light and leave his sins behind him. How to Heat Climate. Dere Kditur: I have heard that many nennle in this state and others are not plccscd with the climatic conditions what pre vail in the whereabouts of their houses. Some of the time it is to hot and the other periods is to cold. ! have gave tills a lot of due conside- ratsbun und have formed a oninion as how they can get any sort of the weather what they want at anv time of tho month in the year. . Following is the correct method of procedure to follow is the way what a ideal and highly balanced tempera ture can be got: 1. Find a valley where the heat Is idee at some time in the year and what is surounded by a high mounting wlth slopes which is not to stca. A brook of trout and evergreens in the front of what is to be tho back yard is not to be overlooked to furnish the best of Invirenient. 2. Jiuild the house on stilts at the base of tho mountain with alt modern convenences except that pipes and wires should not be attached to same. Later a scries o led pipes and wires on, drums with springs in to take up the slak will be conslruekted. 3. If the mountain Is four miles up from the roof or the house, eight miles of track should be got and laid up the Hide, of tho hill, each track being paralel with tho other and tacked to ties what are supposed to hold them in placed Uetween the rib bons of steal pi'.... another strip, which lias got cogs on It. That part Is not to be missed for all will he for mint if the cogs left off tho track. 4. liulld up wheels under the bouse and kick the stilts from under same after the house has been took to the rails which lead up the moun tain's side. 5. Pipes and wires having been in stalled, all is in ready ness for the last touches. This hero Is a motor what runs tho wheel meshing with the cogs in the c-atur of the track, attacked to tho inotor is a thermostat what records the atmospheric condi tions prevailing and raises or lowers the house on the mountain side to suit tho taste of yo tenant who can set his tbermmoeter for twenty be low when his wife wants to stay in bed and not get him breakfast or de- send into tlie valley when airplanes get to thick In later years about the top of the mound. KKCA1MTCI.ATION: Maybe some people will sny "What it you leave tho house and it is real cold come back from town and the weather has taken a sudden turn for the hotter. then maybe you have to walk up the mountain to get home?" Hut not 1 tiling has been missed in tlie idea for a small lever attached to the left side of tlie red wire on tlie thermostat throws it out of gear and the house desends to the bottom of the hill where it will repose until the owner returns and throws tho lever when igain you will be hoisted to tho height what eorespondes with the tcmpcY ture designated on thethermostat. If your water pipes freeze at night just go to tho bottom of your moun tain In the morning and thaw them out. All meddlers Is warned as this here is pending a patent. Mine for Success, .
