ON BKLIKFS Human nature has changed n great deal since our pollywog days. Man Is becoming a reasoning animal. That's what modern business Is based upon. Business Is a suspicious affair in which beliefs count less than nothing and the rattle of tho cash register provides the test of success. Home day life will be measured from a similar reosonable If more sympathe tic basis; When BOino of these ardent believers In righteousness take their eyes V(f the mountain tops and train them upon the selfish ways of mod ern life and the fierce terrors of moil efn ar, they may begin to point the finger Of scorn at mo ioiks wnose beliefs are at aero.

In larger cities such tragedies frequently occur and arc soon for gotten in the metropolitan maze of crime und disaster, but in a smaller place like Mcdfurd, where we are all, more or less, like one large family, such a tragedy comes close to every home, and the calamity is therefore a poignantly personal one. Amos Willits was one of our most promising young business men, ami heartfelt sympathy from the entire community is extended his bereaved family, lie died as a volunteer fireman in tlie path of duty, and while words at such a time mean little, there may be to his fam ily and friends a certain consolation in the fact that he died in the service of his city. . The latest word from Fire Chief Klliott is that his injuries while 1 iiinful, are not as serious as first feared, and his prompt recovery, is practically certain, which will be welcome news to his relatives and many friends. While loss of life in such 'a tragedy, renders other losses scarcely worth consideration, the fact can't be denied, that the loss of the l'age Theatre is if genuine public calamity. While it is too early to know the plans of the l'age owners or management, it is to be hoped that the playhouse will he reconstructed at the earliest possible moment. Probably the fire and loss of life, came as a particular shock to Med ford because this communily has been exceptionally free from "iicli disasters in (he past. We have had large fires, but no extensive ones, and this is tlie first fatality in the local fire department for over a decade. I The obvious lesson is to abandon the idea that Med ford is lucky, and doesn't need to take such precautions and make such prepara tions as other modern cities, regarding the fire hazard. An efficient fire fighting force is not enough. It should be given everything it needs in tlie way of tlie best fire fighting equipment. QUILL No. 1024. Due at 12 midnight. The remarkable quality about most of the candidates is their optimism. England is a funny country. It takes only one election to repu diate a policy over there.

I think about the stuff I read when I was young and tender; the scout who left his trail of dead, the damsel fair and slender; the Injun chief with painted braves, along the war trail drifting; and, (hough here was a string of graves, the moral "was uplifting. I always felt my spirits rise, when with such books I tarried; the wicked drew the booby prize, the virtuous were married. But now we have no Headle yarns for little boys upgrowing; they read of ghosts in midnight tarns, and vampire blood n-flowing. They read stark (ales of grisly grief, of phan(om-fests informal, acquiring thus a bleak belief in foul thiugs and abnormal.

These Classes Carry Although a lot of men imagine they nro Indlsuensible to their Jobs, there ure precious few Jobs that are se riously interrupt ed by the passing of mere individ uals.

Take motherhood for instance. The big gest Job In the world, the noblest service, the highest calling wnon a woman undertakes this Job it is but fjilr nn.l ritfhl fnr her to have health assurance, which, at least saves her from the perils of superstition.

The state considers even free prematemlty service good business. ('nmiiiiKHlonert officers In tho army are required to have n physical ex amination annually. The govern ment provides tbe examination as a means uf protecting the health of Its ol'J'Uers. Tlie government assumes that health assurance pays. According to government figures Hit. nnniial exnenilitlire for medicines In tlie United Htates is five hundred millions, of which rather less than half goes to purchase medicines which are totally necessary. The other t260.000.0U0, or a large part of it, must tllen be spent for medicines which are not really necessary by folk who are ti vinc- to get along with out hciLlth assurance and who like to Imagine they can manage real or fancied minor troubles without medi- col advice.

The discoloration happens in tho best families and with the best Jewelry, and when one has the best; of heulth and morals tho it does have a dirty look. Suppose the ring Is 18 karat gold. That is good gold, three fourths of the alloy being gold, one fourth u base metal such as sil ver, copper, or lead or zinc, or com binations of these. . The sulphur com pounds normnlly present In the sweat and oil of the skin react with the base metal to produce a black sulphid which stains the skin. ' By Mike 1923 THY0tR mM 1A!iAy -c-P14H F9K L-M.

Your own particular jack may annoy you very muah indeed by his masculine vanity and by the way, all males are vainer thnn tho female of the species but you must not mind it much. It is no good trying to make people over. Nearly all th glittering figures of history are re membered for their vices than for their virtues. This Is curiously true of historic lovers. We remember Cleopatra for the manner of her dying rather than for the conquests of her life.
