Why they did not call themselves the True Blue Progressiva! and be half right, la not known. The Oolden Rule phase of the ItltA are not working ae well as ex pected, ao the administration haa called a ear lea of confessional confer ences, to determine why not. If the Oolden Rula had functioned, In the flrrt place, there would be no need for an VRA. Both, the Oolden Rule especially, are universally regarded as a fine thing for the other fellow. Neither have ever been able to offer much resistance to Greed. The Gold en Rule la a favorite topic of preach er! and politicians, end rank next to waving, the American flag, as an applause-getter. Occasionally a cap tain of industry, growing old and knee-deep In gold he garnered while the getting wae good, has urged the adoption of the Oolden Rule, The i fact he never mentioned It until well barricaded with Wealth, haa caused 1 the proletariat to accuse him of In- elncerlty. All the world neoda In the way of codes, are the Ten Command- tnente and the Oolden Rule.

California!! goes to Reno for a at the Hall of Justice here, aa they pass out bags of candy at a Sunday school Christmas tree. Miss Kay Francis appeared in Judge Sproul's court yester day and with one word, a smile and a nod of her pretty head, got rid of her third husband. The entire performance took exactly 3 minutes ! 3 husbands, Of course Miss Francis had to dress up for the occasion. And a popular movie actress, applying for a divorce, must choose her costume with some care. We have the word of a girl reporter, Kay wore smartly tailored "shnrk skin" suit, topped by a double silver fox choker, and a perfectly "ducky" black hat, the rakish edge of which exactly bisected her right eye. There was a sharkskin bag too, black gloves edged with white, and beneath the black hat we might add, a sad, soulful, almost a PAINED expression. Had we known nothing of Miss Francis or the circumstances, we would have assumed the beautiferous young woman had been suddenly and tragically bereaved and decidedly against her desire, had been forced to come to court, to go through. some formality, which the laws of an unfeeling world demanded. In short the lady's ensemble looked to us like mourning extremely smart and modish mourning and we have an idea that is what it was. Mourning for husband No. 31 Miss Francis was accompanied by a lawyer and a maid. The lawyer, also meticulously tailored held a large document in his hand, and raising it before the beautiful brown eyes of his client, asked: "Is everything you allege in this complaint true!" "Yes" was the beautifully modulated reply in a rich con tralto. "Did he nag and harrass youl'1 "Yes. I would come home late after working 12 and 14 hours and he would keep me up' hours and hours making SARCASTIC remarks. He was particularly critical of my dress my clothes and the way I wore them," and Miss Francis cast down her eyes, until each particular "mascarcd" eyelash showed on her fair skin, like hand-pafnted sun rays on a Chinese tea cup. Imagine ANY man, criticizing ANY clothes that such a ravishing creature might wear, and as for keeping her up late at night MAKING SARCASTIC remarks oh well, WELL, cruel, inhuman and unusual 1 "Is there any corroborating witness?" "Oh yes indeed come forward, Miss Ida Perry." Miss Ida Perry being Miss Francis' personal maid, should know about such things, (a fat chance she would have holdiug the job is she DIDN'T I) o o a i o Miss Perry, who could hardly rival Kay in personal allure ment corroborated everything, and added "Mister McKenna also adopted a very superior manner." Think of that another blow below the belt what a fiend in human form this man McKenna must have been! Imagine any male, acting "superior" having the unbreakable crust to do anything before a paragon of intellectual majesty and pul ehritudinous lovoliness such as stands before you but lie down on the floor and let it walk over you high heuls, sharkskin bag, and ALL1 "It made mo nervous" added Miss Kay Francis, sadly, "and Llost weight 1" The reprehensible blackguard, the unconscionable scoundrel ! "The petition of djvorce is hereby granted" quoth the court. And then Miss Kay Francis raised her eyes and smiled, not at her attorney or the reporters or the fans in the court room, but at His Honor, the judge. Right at him, straight between the eyes. The court smiled also, bowed, fumbled with some papers on his desk, and we wager after court adjourned had something to write in HIS "memory book." Just to keep the record straight we don't wish to leave the impression, that Miss Kay Francis, Mrs. Stephen McKenna or Mr. McKenna had anything to do with this proceeding, Tho action was Kathorine Gibbs Milzinger, Jr., against John Milzin gor, Jr., the divorced husband, in addition to his other mal factions, going under the name of Stephen McKenna of the well known Irish family of MeKennas, of county Antrim. He also is an actor or was once, and the namo McKenna no doubt helped him in his bookings. In fact these divorce courts are great revealcrs of true names as well as othor things. In the Bame Hall of Justice the same day Charlie Foy, the son of the lato Eddie Foy, also secured his mnrital freedom from one Grace Hays Foy, radio singer and actress. Charlie also had a real grievance. He loaned his wifo ten dollars and she refused to pay it back. . ' "You can pay that ten dollars or leavo the house," that was the remark of the wife, NOT Charlie. Charlie left, greatly humiliated and chagrined. "Could you repeat her exact language!" asked Foy's attor ney, in dulcet, insinuating tones. "I had rather not" replied Charlie, fighting manfully to restrain his emotions. That was enough I Charlie got his divorce. But the name is not Charlie Foy But Charles J. Fitzgerald. However, in the words of Shakespeare, such a rose as Charlie, under any other name, would smell as sweet. Charlie may be a good tap dancer, but after looking him over we should say that Gracie Hays is the one to be congratu lated! It's raining cats and dogs here now after nearly two weeks of summer sunshine. Thy say sharkskin sheds water like a top hat! R. W. R. ATTENDING IE!

NEW YORK, DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NRW YORK, Feb. 26. In the man ner of Arnold Bennett's Journal: At a dinner party, Cornelius P.

I wonder- r5 wy d why th clns ma has never portrayed such red corpusc!ed drama, with his torical accuracy. That straying black sheep of Kentucky aristoc racy, for instance, looped in the hangman s noose, who aald: "As this la my last public appearance, I do not want to make a social error. Shall I step or Jump off the box?" The senator, who vu a replica of the cartoon Uncle Sam, was a Mon tanlan. Tom Carter, he was. When an easterner Inquired the de clensions In the landscape from a train window, Senator Carter explain ed: "Out there they are holes In the ground. In Wall street, they are permanent mining Investments." Cold; misty. On such days I seem to do nothing but oddments of high unimportance. I spent an hour writing four lines. Result: Just vaporlngs. Baa luys- dael, the wireless announcer, writes me of a gray donkey that wanders quite on his own In West 24th street. I must look It up. Yet on reflection there are many wandering donkeya in this bagdad. X cannot get that actual sky-rockety name I heard at the Will Haysea o'lt of my head. Sybil Zahel. And some one aald the real name of one of our great dramatic sc trews wae Psycne Pl an nig an. But I think the name best combining the culture ot Qreese with the breene of Klllarney was the Ztegfeld show girl, programmed Anastasia Riley. So' often I heard abmlllee I wish I mtgt have fathered.

A white maid In the service elevator remark ed to her: "Huh, they should be harm? children Instead of dtigs to look after." And Susie smiled: 'If children might not have food." I'm reminded that someone who knew him well should do a biography of Bert William, While there seem biological proof no one die of a borken heart. I'll always believe this great comedian did.

If you can't afford the best of all health reduction exercise dally walks at least you should practice the 4th, 7tb and 11th movements of the Last Brady Symphony, as described and Il lustrated In the booklet (which will be mailed on receipt of a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress).

Answers if you wear high! heels, lower them a bit week by week till you get down to spring heels or none In the course of a month. Bitting, standing or walking, strive constantly to keep your chin Inside an Imaginary high collar. Most of the movements of the Last Brady Symphony will help to correct the postural weak ness. Send 10 cents (coin) and stamp ed envelope bearing your address, for complete works and music. But keep off high heels. Play around bare foot or In moccasins all you can. Iltittermllk Benefits from drinking buttermilk? Has It any food value? Haa it any disadvantages or harmful results? (Mrs. S. F.) Answers 1. Yes, it Is a wholesome, healthful Beverage for anyone who likes It. In nutritive value a pint of buttermilk is equivalent to one-half pint of fresh milk. I know of no dis advantages or harmful results, ex cept In certain Illnesses, where the question ahould be left to the Judg ment of the physician. Ed. Note: Readers wishing to communicate with Or.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ON Washington's birthday, when these words are written, this thought arises: What would - Washington, the founder of his country, have thought of a lot of the things we are doing In these days? The ehances are he would have been greatly disturbed If he could have foreseen them. THOMAS Jefferson, one of the sign era of the Declaration of Inde pendence and the third president of the United States, said, and BE LIEVED: "That government la best which governs least." WHAT would Thomas Jefferson, holding these views as to alm pliclty of government, have thought of some of our present governmental complexities If he could have for seen them? What would he have thought, H he could have anticipated It, of the extent to which government. In our day, has entered Into all the affairs of business? The chances are that he, too, would have been greatly disturbed. BUT remember thisT Washington and Jefferson, In their time, were regarded In the older and more conservative countries of Europe as DANGEROUS RADI CALS. Now we look upon them as extreme conservatives. . The world changes, doesn't It? IT ISNT improbable that 150 years hence, these new departures in government which we now regard as extremely advanced will be looked upon aa too hopelessly conservative to be even considered by up-to-date people. SPEAKING of changes, did you ever see a picture of the first rail road train? It doesn't look much like the new stream-lined trains Just announced by several of the railroads, which are expected to do around 110 miles an hour with a very moderate expendi ture of fuel. People who saw the first railroad train, and regarded It as a danger ously swift engine of destruction, could not possible have visualized these new stream-lined trains of to day. AND so with he steamship. Ful ton's first clumsy vessel bore hardly any resemblance at all to the swift ocean greyhounds of today. The airplane that the Wright brothers, first succeeded In flying at Kitty Hawk didn't look even faintly like the planes that now soar over head. THTC world la going through a con stant process of change. The old gives way to the new. What was good enough a generation ago Isn't good enough now. We move on constantly from what we have to something else that Is better or at least more satisfactory at the moment. It always has been that way, and In all 'probability It always will be. IT WOULD be tlK iflingly Interesting, wouldn't It, If we could look for ward into the future for say a cou ple of hundred years and see what will be going on then? Communications Man on Mule. Over the hill trailed a msn behind a mule drawing a plow. Said the man to tha mule: "Bill, you are a mule, the son of a Jackass, and I am a man made in the Image of Ood. Yet. here we work, hitched together, year In and ' year out. I often wonder If you work for me or If I work for you. Verily. I think H a partnership between a mule and a fool, for surely 1 work aa hard a you. If not harder. Plow ing or cultivating we cover the same distance, but you do It on four legs and t on two.

To the Editor: Having been a resident of Medford, Jackson county, Oregon, for the past 48 years, I would Ilk. to have a little space in your good paper to comment briefly on the coming election, and especially with reference to tha sher iff's office. That office handlea and haa charge of all tax monlea and col lections In addition to the other du ties of the office, and should be en trusted to a taxpayer. Robert E.

He and his family attend th. Presby. terlan church regularly. He Is a prominent member of the Bellview grange, and chairman of the Bellview school board. Having known Mr. Bell quite intimately for some time, I believe he Is well qual ified to conduct th. duties of the sheriff's office efficiently, and eco nomically.
