QTRAY SCRAPS flv JAMES T. CALLAHAN A DEPENDABLE MIND.

The virtual acceptance of the Davvcs plan of adjustment by the heads of the European governments has caused an event that is always paramount in any quarrel or misunderstanding. It caused them to send for the Germans to 'come in and talk it over, look it over and agree. The Germans came, they smiled like other men, they were courteous like other men, they looked like other men and soon the warm handclasp of Frenchman and Englishman and Italian with German dispelled a certain amount of what has been the world's most deep-seated hatred. It may be taking too much credit for Charles G. Dawes, but the whole happy ending to this biggest quarrel in the world's history was caused by the dependability of the mind of this Chicagoan, Charles G.

Dawes. When Dawes, as a member of the commission, went into the thing with his best mind he stuck to the righteous side and the fair judgment all the way through. He had a big broad view of valuations, he had a bankers training of the possibility of Germany's assets being properly converted into earnings which would make possible the payment of the great sums assessed as reparations. The same sanity and fairness of mind, the same LIC. iitHcrnirrit that Dawes took pendablhty of mmd and judgment tnat uawes into the various departments of government at by a ong ahoti Washington when he built up the budget plan, he' took into the work he did with the other members of the commission abroad.

It is a testimonial to business that it is a business man, not a politician who did this. The ledger and not the political strings was the basis of negotiations, the actual valuations instead of political misreprcsentative quotations were used and last, but not least, these judgments came from minds of men reared in an atmosphere of goodfellowship, where competition creates more good fellowship instead of more hatred, where their racial mind was to practice the golden rule instead of act with The "Harvsst" ShOWi It And ono of the very serious troubles In, that executive and other officials have tar morn lionn In tholr heads, than In their hacks; and what backbone some of them have Is as solid as Do The People Rult? You Tell 'Em From fifty to eighty percent ol thn voters of the United States do not voto at any election according to Collar's Weekly, tho editor ol which lias been procuring data. If thorn In migrate then, who is to blame? One way to remedy the trouble would be to adopt another Amendment to the constitution, prohibiting all persons from Is all who wore chin whiskers, or didn't wear them, all persons whose faces wore smooth shaven (and that would catch tho ladles); all persons who chewed tobacco, and spit yellow or sucked oggn, or voted the Democratic ticket as a rule, or tho Republican ticket Bg an exception. If such an amendment can bo arranged, HIP election officials will he kept busy twonty-tour hours after tho polls close In every precinct counting the votes cast. There aro hundreds of people who will do nothing unless they aro forbidden by law to do It.

Don't Worry Some man aro henpecked by'their wives and others ara unmercifully henpecked by their business.

They let little things worry them until small troubles loom big on their horizon. There are traveling men who let train service upset tbem. There are merchants who let back orders unbalance them. There are fellows who believe their house service Is "rotten" because a few orders have been balled up. -There are other men who think the country Is going to the dogs because a tew bankers and statisticians are yelling wolf.

Those men are henpecked and they heard with the crowd who worry unnecessarily. Don't worry or get excited. The Real oy in Homecoming Tomatoes Will Kill the White Mule Habit A receipt for the drink habit Is to eat tomatoes sprinkled with salt, consuming as much as possible.

i (Copyright, 1924, NBA Service, Inc.) You I BY ALBERT APPLE in its that blind hatred which has held Europe grasp for hundreds of years. It is, if it be fair to single out one man of that commission, a testimonial to the dependability of the great business mind of Charles G. Dawes, who knew that the fair way and the Christian way was the application of the golden rule, a rule that fits war-worn, hatred-rended minds and men more so than anyone else. "Hell and Maria" Dawes is a fine type of American who will be more admired by his fellows as he becomes better known to them. THE BIG ONES GET AWAY A 20-pound muskellunge was hooked by a fisherman in Sparrow Lake, Ontario, Canada.

He landed it in his rowboat. Now, a 20-pound "lunge" in a rowboat is about as genial and active as a wildcat. This fisherman, Bill Sparling, was alone in his one to advise. Also, he was a "city fel- ler," had never before caught anything a fourth as big. Nothing in his rowboat to kill the.

"lunge" by a whack behind the eyes. But he happened to have a loaded shotgun. So he blew off its blew a big hola in the bottom of his boat. An Ojibway Indian rescued him before he drowned among the weeks. Fishing is an exciting they're striking.

That's why hundreds of thousands of Americans are vacationing with rod and line. Fishing and hunting are the most ancient industries of man. The existed long before agriculture. When a man fishes, he answers the call of the wild inherited from barbaric ancestors. No real sportsman ever catches and kills more fish than will be eaten.

To do so is vandalism. All anglers know that the streams and lakes of our continent are gradually being "fished out." Restocking is unable to keep up with catches. Accordingly, good sports will make use of this fact: When you catch a fish too small to keep, always handle him with wet hands. A dry hand is almost certain to kill the fish, for it ruins the oily protective film over the scales. Another thing: An angler, enraged because the fish isn't large-, often hurls it viciously far from the boat.

This is apt to kill the fish within a few clays. A fish isn't made of iron. And water is hard, as you know if you ever hit it flat with your stomach in diving. Play the game fairly. Be a good sport.

Help conserve our vanishing fish resources. Let's OuIJa Board Satan and Find Out. At times I've heard some fellows tell: "This weather's 'bout as cold as hell." And Just today, a man said: "Well It surely, la as hot as hell."

Now which is true, I'd like you toll; It's got mo puzzled, sure, a lot If It Is cold, when it hot!

Values is largely imaginary, outside of necessities and physical comforts. Cases like high prices for rare atamps simply illustrate the power of human desire to own the scarce, preferably something no one else can have. Selfishness Is one of the most powerful human animating motives. Market. Tho more tho pooj.li make, tho more they spend.

Putting electricity Into these homes would create a market for three million electric fans, four and a half million vacuum cleaners, two And a half million electric washing machines and millions of other electric devices. Wealth, it wise, would for selfish reasons raise wages and the standard of living as high as possible.

Co-Op Denmark continues as the shining example of what can be accomplished by co-operative societies. Some of the largest Industrial and marketing concerns over there are co-ops. A survey discloses that one of the most striking effects of these banding-together movements Is a high standard the quality of product. People do better work when they have a voice in the management. Still better, when they have a share of ownership.

Suicide. Suicides are increasing among the highly educated and woll-to-do. But there's no increase among the population at largo.
