Ye Smudge Pot Bf Arthur Perry. WE FEAR fiovenmr Pierce made u serious tactical blunder in rei'iisinij to acconipuny ex-Governor West, ami yardeii Du,l rymple into tlm wilds of Drift Creek canyon. Thg Governor is a robust lle-miin in nppearanee aK in lim prUoji warden. Armed with sawed-ol'f shot (juns and six shooters, shaded by ten Kallon fitetsons, they would have eompletely overshadowed Oswald's lean and somewhat prc-Hapaelitie figure, in thu inevitable movies which would have given a pictorial history of the pilgrim iiiqge. . , . , , ', Moreover, the Governor and his warden could have worked together while the redoubtable Oswald, would have been foreed to vi'ork alone. True Oswald would have furnished rating a poor target, whereas Messcrs fierce and Dalrymplc would liavcf furnished good ones, but there is no reason to believe any shots would have been fired except by the invaders. For experts in criminology seem agreed that the ihrec convicts are not in Drift Creek canyon, and since Thursday morning, at least, haven't been there. .Mrs. Billic Hrucc invaded the canyon Thursday afternoon, and saw no signs of the trio whose lives she wished to save. If the canyon was safe for the Democratic party ou Thursday it certainly would have been even safer Sunday morning. Now Oswald has placed the Governor and his warden on the dc fensixe for ho can say the stale officials arc afraid to do what he did in the wilds of the Coast range during his memorablu and mili tant administration. And in spite of his exceptional emotional powers and his lachry mose resources Governor fierce will have no effective "comeback." Tactically speaking, ex Governor West, champion of the light weight division, has knocked out two heavyweights in the first round without so much as moving his trigger finger. CROSS.

Why Not Dye Your Hair the kind of whiskers the medical fathers wore we'd suspect him us soma kind of fluack on mischief bent. People still persist in looking suspici ously, at a man wnc has nice gray o. white hair and a nif ty black mustache. Old fashioned folk arc still Inclined to frown at the woman whose hair turns from gray to black, brown to red, or from dark to taffy color over night. And yet thero is no reason why a doc tor should not hide behind a bunch of spinach if ho Is embarrassed about barefaced practice and no good reason why a woman should not bleach or dye here hair to suit her own whims. not give as deep or as permanent a color as the mineral dyes do. The manufacturers of humburg hair restorers or nostrums purporting to restore tho original color of the hair and not to be dyes, evidently consider tho generaj public ignorant and cred ulous enough to believe such things. If they would just credit the public with fair Intelligence and honestly ac. knowledge that their "restorers" are vegetable or mineral dyes, there seems no good reason why such preparations should not enjoy a thriving demand. I'd certainly dye 'my hair if I though it would help me keep my job or my wife, that is, if I had enough hair to make It worth while.

GKKAT a west men in swarms assembled at Dayton, Tennessee, the there were men of learning too deep for me to sound; their words, with wisdom burning, left wrealhs of smoke around. And orators majestic, great verbal acrobats; wreaths foreign und domestic were seen upon their hats. And lawyers strangely filled, the chieftains of their clan, worn there to see facts sifted concerning ape and man. For days the village geezer could not traverse the pike, lint he would meet a Caesar, a Daniel or the like. With great men drawn together the weather should be cool; alas, the Dayton weather would suffocate a mule, (ireat men, to be imposing, should have a frigid mien, new dignity disclosing in every passing Scene, Their garb should be unsul lied, their linen white and fine, their maps should not be gullied by rivulets of brine.

How soon we are forgetting the fame of mighty ginks, when we behold them sweating and wailing for cool drinks! When we behold them doffing thir collars, coats and tics, we turn from nwe to scuffing anil ridicule the wise.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS i Itaw Food Aro uncooked potatoes eaten with skins on, and uncooked prunes as good as when cooked. Answer Personally I think potatoes aro bettor when baked with tho skins on and I prefer tho skins to their contents. It is rather a healthful hablj. however, tovcat somo such raw veg etables every day if you like them so. Make sure the potatoes aro thoroughly washed and eat away to 'your stom ach's content. Of course raw prunes aro quite as ' healthful as cooked prunes. AlKMUllcltlH Is thero any known cure for appen dicitis other than operation? Is it not a fact that some cases of appendicitis aro brought on 'by a strain, such as lifting too much? (T. K. B.) ! Answer numerous other things purport to be cures or remedies, but when I had appendicitis I hied me in ! dignified haste to tho operating table I and thanked heaven for modern sur- i gory. I doubt that such strain can cause appendicitis, though It might excite or aggravate an attack If the appendix Is already diseased. Harmful Salts I want to reduce..

Kobtrt M Ja son, French banker and virtual head ot ' the Credit J-yonnals, suggested that the United States and England give France a five-year delay in the settlement of the debt question, in order that France might apply her first billion dollars in reparation under the Dawes plan to the com pletion of reconstruction work In the devastated French provinces. "I believe nobody can. in good faith, dispute that bur problem of reconstruction Is unparalleled in his tory and has "been a terrific and undeserved burden for the .country. But I often hear comparisons made with' the problem of unemployment, which is a matter of so great and legitimate concern for our British friends," said M. Alasson. ' I "Quttc aside from the question of I lie comparative wealth of the na-1 Hons involved, I would merely point, out that, as far as 1 have gathered.! the total expenditure on unemploy-l ment by the British Treasury since! the armistlco has been about liSO,-- 000,000 pounds, which meuos 1.500.-1 000,000 at tho probable mean rate of exchange, whereas our expenditure on material damages only 'amounts today to about $5,500,000,000.
