A number of I'hllttdclphi brats ranging In age from 16 to It J yearn, staged u Communistic demonstra tion in Washington. IH, Saturday. They were promptly rounded up. lleforo they could be locked in cells, the president directed they be sent "home lo their parents," instead of sending for the parents and putting them hi the same cell with their offspring. This would have afforded the flock n chance to figure, out whether they were In America or the Kuropcan fatherland. The Juvenile Heds deeply appreciated tho .action of tho president. Their leader forth with started to stage nnother demonstration. Grown-up aliens staged similar rumpuses in New York, and had oak clulw bounced off their heads by the police. All tho demonstrator desire to accom plish, Is tho downfall of the Amer ican form of government, and, the official disposition seems to be to do nothing to ruffle their feelings. Jf the foreign element can't keep from raising hell, and behave themselves, they should be sent buck to Kurupo. HIS OWN' CAH (Skclly News) I've been watching that mechanic for the last fifteen minutes. Theren a man who known his business, lie didn't spill a drop of oil on tho ground, lie put down the hood gently, fastened it securely, and left no fingerprints on it. He wiped his hands on clean waste before opening the door, spread it clean cloth over tho upholstery, meshed the gears noiselessly a nit t hcu d rove edowly Into the street. The killing of the festive and fatted hog Is now underway In the rural a reus, though It Is n trifle warmish for such activity. To do n real good job of killing a hog, the atP should be wintry and crisp. Anybody can murder n hog, but only an artist ran pull the hair, h tho necessary Umbering i vailed. He ia second, however, to tho genius who can make a whistle vui of the tall of deceased. The w-eather has been so lialmy that not a single Ahl.ind gerani um has been hooded with a paper cack to thwart the frost. A delegation of Older Cirla have ncMUired the fashionable long -kirta. They have trains, which the most awkward male could not aeeid en tally step on if he earnestly endeavored to do so. The dress Is long in the hack, and knee length in front. They can only be worn by the picturesque and situeso.u? as a short, chunky lady looks tike the dickens in them. The new mode inteni'ifle the Mpiattlness, if any.

Tin hatohet wieldinn and hatohet-faoed Carrie, aeeordiuir to Mv. Ashury, is responsible, and without her efforts we would have open saloons in our largo eities today, instead of bootleggers ami speakeasies. Although the author does not directly say so, reading be tween the lines of this very amusing and instrnetive book, one gets the distinot impression that Mr. Ashury believes the Carrie. Nation era is over and. in spite of a general digust with prevail jug oondilions, will never be revived. Kor in his judgment, the support of public opinion, wbieh in spite of her lawless, bizarre and rowdy methods, made her campaign nieh a sensational success, would not be accorded nj modern Carrie Nation in a campaign against the liquor element today. In fact, it is apparently .Mr. Ashury s opinion there has been a complete moral shift, and that the balance of power is j neut not hy tlve fanatical Urys, Wet nor Dry, who blame the present deplorable conditions, not on the Liquor element, but on Prohibition.
