The limbs of the treea aro becom
ing brazenly bare.
An noon as the Ch tint man ponce-on-earth,
good -will-to-man Ih out of the
way, a political campaign will start.
Another prominent and woalthy
citizen of Now York has dlHKracod his
family, by up and dying back of a
davenport, when his honrt was pierced
by a .46 calibre bullet, fired by a lady
with a hot temper, and no discretion.
CALIFORNIA BOOSTING: VIA THE BIBLE
When the woman's wjna; of tho Ku
Klux Klan, gets organized at no much
' per, tbero will bo no supper dishes
left In tho kltchon sink except by
paid up members.
WE ARK both pained and grieved at the recent news concern
ing Long Beach, California, transmitted via Kansas City.
It seems the bible classes of these two enterprising cities recently
engaged in a contest for the world's record for bible class attendance.
Last Sunday, Long Beach announced a total attendance of 31,034.
Apparently they not only counted J. W. Ligenfelter, of Kansas City,
who attended the meeting, but also a corps of his detectives armed
with adding, machines.
For no sooner had the Long Beach total been announced than Mr.
Ligenfelter aross to proclaim that Long Beach had chca"'' ! Instead
of an attendance of 31,034, there were, excluding Mr. Ligenfelter
and his sleuths, only 13,930.
This is considerable inflation, even for Long Beach, California.
Probably the Long Beach bible lender could be excused for counting
the Kansas City delegation, but even the. Long Beach Chamber of
ilomincrce Would hesitate to claim that the Kansas City bible spies
totalled 17,104.'
Of course if this had been a government census, there would have
been from the California standpoint not only an excuse but justi
iication. . B'.t t :is was a bible class count. And while mere attend
ance at a bible class meeting does not presuppose strict adherence
either to .veracity or the ten commandments, there would seem to
bo a certain obligation involved regarding common decency.
Now, if the Long Beach Mayor, as leader of the bible class, for
example had only stretched 13,030 into say 17,390, why even Mr.
Ligenfelter, who undoubtedly intends to live in California eventually,
might have excused him. But to raise 13,930 to 31,034 over 100 per
cent no fair-minded pflrson can blame the biblical student from
Kansas City for complaining. V
' True, the Long Bench Mayor comos back. He declares Kansas
City cheated as well, by not observing the rule that the classes must
meet in one place. But M. W. Dibble, president of the Kansns City
bible class and opponent of Sunday movies, quite properly rejoins
that tho crowd in Knpsas City was so huge to-wit, 52,121 that it
couldn't be herded into any ono place.
Although prediction is nlways hazardous, it is safe to say that
Long Bench will be severely rebuked by California Incorporated at
its next meeting. And while this report in its entirety can't be
forecasted, two counts will certainly be something like this: .
"To the Bible Leader, of Long Beach, California: The next time
you have a biblo class contest with Kansas City, first send a detec
tive and an adding machine to Kansas City; and, second, don't an
nounce your biblo attendance first 1" '

THE OLD SLOGAN
AlFILM of frost is on the pump, it glitters, white and pearly,
reminding us that we should hump and do our shopping
early. Oil, Christmas I How tho seasons scoot, all cylinder, a
hitting! We've scarcely. time enough to hoot, so fast our days
nre flitting. The breeze has now a keener sip, its one is grim
and surly, reminding us that we should skip nnd do our shopping
early. And yet it seems but yestere'en that we were sadly wend
ing where gaudy Christmas stocks were seen, our hard earned
kopecks spending. Since then we've seen the vernal rain, in
summer heat we've melted, we've heard tho autumn winds com
plain how" Father Time has pelted! "We'vo aeon the com in'
long rows sprout, wo'vo seen it cultivated, we'vo seen it shucked
nnd carried out how Father Timo has skated I And yet it
seems but yesterday that wo went forth in dozens to buy up
Christmas bales of liny ns gifts for aunts nnd cousins. And
soon again we'll go abroad amid the hurly-burly, to buy tho
jimcrack ami the gawd, nnd do our shopping enrly. Our talk
is less of summer drinks, and more of coal and kindling, wo
view the goose-bone ns a jinx, our bank accounts are dwindling;
from chimneys that have long been" cool tho smoko is rising,
curly, reuniting that time honored rulo concerning shopping
early. ' . '

Fixing tho Guilt
. It .should be cheering to know that
the recent experience of life Insurance
companies rather strengthens the be
lief, that a person over 30 and a wee
trifle underweight, that Is, under the
average weight for one of his age and
height, has a longer lease on life than
he would have If he were nice and
plump.
Anyhow, without a trace of sym
pathy for 'em, I feel
In duty bound to
remind all fat folks
over 30 of the wise
saying of one Lulgt
Cornaro, who lived
102 years, 400 years
apo a tremendous
achievement In that
shorts lived day
that "he who would
eat much must eat
little." Meaning y'
understand, that If
an average life span
were one week and you wishod to last
right thru to Saturday night you'd
leave tho table 20 times at least. Cor
naro tore that one off in ' tho most
casual manner, and here I've . been
studying for years on the same prob
lem and the best I havo been able to
do Is "whoever Is too fat overeats."
Cornaro's epigram makes 'em think
nnd mine just makes 'em mad. His
stuff is wisdom; mine is sarcasm.
All right, Ihen. ae you will, but I
toll you frankly that I am a Turk
in my admiration of fat even tho I
know It is a sad mistake from tho
hygenic point of view. It is because
I find fat folks easier to look at than
thin ones that I say and do all I can
to keep the fat ones with us longer
Indeed, If I had my way about It, we
should punish every overweight indi
vidual who .falls to attain the age of
80 years.
Obesity is an insidious degeneration
which creeps over the victim unaware.
Ten, 15, 20. 30 pounds too much, one
fondly attributes to, "good digestion"
or fine health or the climate or some.-
thlug as fatuous. This is the danger
zono. .Some fine morning you curi
ously step on the scale to discover that
tho excess baggage . has suddenly
jumped to 40 or GO pounds and youth
seems further away than It did the
day you noticed your first gray hairs
or the time when, some joy killer
pointed out your bald spot.
Youth is far- away; ' going, going,,
but not irrevocably 'gohe. ' That's the
happy part of It; tvc, after 30, spells
senility even more certainly than
hardened arteries do, yet there Is
hope for most cases. Altho you have
eaten yourself close , to the brink,
you can still come back. Didn't
George do It? George Cheyne, at 30.
weighed 448 pounds In whatever they
wore In Scotland In 1702, and was
short of breath, lethargic and listless,
like all obese folk. Then he got hy
giene, so to speak, began dieting on
milk and vegetables, and reduced his
weight to' 150 pounds, recovered his
strength and vigor and lived to be 72
years old.
Excess flesh Is mostly slacker flesh,
which you nourish and tote around
but which serves no good purpose. A
strain on the heart toting it. Getting
fat after 30 Is slow suicide.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mole Near tho Kyo
I havo a mole close to the eyo and
am afraid to, treat It with corn cure
for fear that It may get into my eyes.
What safer method would you sug
gest?" (M. M. Q.)
Answer. There Is bo' safe method
of self treatment for moles or warts
or any Qther apparently benign lesion
or blemish about the face or neck.
The only safe and sane plan Is to leave
such treatment to the skill and judg
ment of a physician. The amateur
use of certain medicaments for warts
or corns about the hands or foot 1b
comparatively safe, but no one with
out medical training may safely at
tempt minor surgical operations about
the face.
Tho Eternal Gallstone
Kindly advise if gallstones can be
dissolved. MuBt one have an operation
to be cured? (8. A.)
Answer. When somebody Invents
a method of dissolving beeswax In a
goldfish bowl we may begin to enter
tain hope for the discovery of some
: means of dissolving gallstones In tho
bile- ducts or the gall sac. Meanwhile
I the only available cure is operation.
. Remarkably Sane Parents .
I My parents object. to my having
bobbed hair. They say t am too old
.to have It bobbed. I am 16. I have
'snarled my hair until there Is hardly
.anything left of It. Do you think It
would bo foolish for me to have It
(bobbed? My mother says If you say
: it would be goo it for my hair, I can
have It done. D. V. M. I.")
Answer. Yes; it would be foolish,
, and besides, haven't you heard that
bobbed hair Is passe now? Stop
snarling, and take proper pare of your
hair. If you will Enclose with -your
request a stamped envelope bearing
your name and address I will send
you advice. "
IT'S all right for a
cigar to be mild if
there's something there
besides. There is in
this one.

4pislionoib!e" Marriage
Th pre are vw plijr.wes, often mixed
Up'ih dJscussIofis'anu dlscurstons hav
ing to do with love and tho sex asso
ciation ii.ut fairly make me writhe,
-r : . One. is, my chil

is a thin varnish

otlier is "an hon

Ther- another

the ; lishonor
able mar rlago,
and it is about
that ghastly so
cial gesture to
society's selfish
blindness chat I
write today. In tho city ot Chicago
the other day an unmarried mother
of a child of eleven years a little girl
came Into court to gain posftssion
of her daughter who had been beard
ed in a private family since infancy.
This mother, a public school teacher.
told the authorities that she had re
fused to marry the father of her child.
Why? Maybe because Bhe did not
love him enough to desire him to be
her husband. Maybe because, once
the false step had been taken, and she
perhaps made a victim of a scheming
seducer, she had bravely scorned a
dishonorable marriage and had gone
her way, determined to face the world
and take the consequences. Ah, but
there's the rub. Had she a right to
deprive her little daughter of an
honest" name? . Strange as it may
seem, half the law's, administrators
who were Interviewed decided . that
the mother should have married the
father of the child no matter how
odious the "honorable" . marriage
might be. The others agreed with the
woman that she had a right to pro
tect herself from a shameful alliance.
Two wrongs do not nake one right.
Society no longer looks askance at the
offspring "of an illegitimate union.
Marriage is honorable only bo long as
It is reverent and founded upon mut
ual responsibility. As a "way out of a
bad job" marriage is the last rofugo
that should be offered to seducers and
moral outlaws. Marrlago is beautiful,
holy, a covenant. It Is not a ratholo
in the wall.
