The only thing we don't like about
the deportation of the Reds is that
there were not enough of them on the
ark.
They say that fashion reverses itself
every now and then. The pres{V?

There is just one thing that would
probably be better than deportation
for Reds and others of that stripe,
namely, decapitation.

The lady up North wno ta.nted because
her fiance failed to turn up was
not so bad off after all. He was already

Somebody says the cost of living

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.
An end ought to be put to automo.
bile speeding. We are usually impressed
along about Christmas time
with the seribusness of speeding, because
of the number of accidents that
occur, not because it is Christmas

more travel then. But the same rule
holds good all the year round. It

felt
that same person is up a second
time he ought to be sent to jail.
Wanton and reckless driving is a
menace to the public, people get kill'
ed or maimed by it every day, and it
is best to stop the speeding before
the fatal accident occurs.
Most people in Bamberg respect the
speed law. Many of them do not.

Roumanian Military Men Dandies, i
The Roumanian, at least the city|
resident, Is extremely fond of per
fume, scented soap, rouge, cosmetics
and other artificial aids to beauty.1
This applies not only to the women
but to the men.
The average young Roumanian
army officer is scented, powdered,
rouged and often, it is said, corseted!
His habits mark him for a good deal
of raillery on the part of foreign officers
and visitors. In dress he Is as
faultless as a Beau Brummel and in
manner as polite as a Lord Ches'enfield.
He Is seen at his best on Saturday
or Sunday afternoon on ths
Calse Victoria (the Fifth avenue ol
Bucharest).
Dressed in a sky-blue uniform, gaud
Ily trimmed with red, high patent* j
leather boots with silvered spurs that
clink musically as he walks, glisten-i
lng sword at side, white kid gloves and
many military decorations, he makei
a striking figure.

The assignment in the English composition

term. All was going lovely,

brought no answer until Johnnie stumbled
on to his answer out of his every

Brunswick Principles
In Fine Tire Making
The reason you are interested in the name on your tire ia
that it identifies the maker. By knowing the maker you can
judge his ideals of manufacture.
The only secret of a super-tire lies in the principles of the i
maker. His standards decide the quality For there are no .<7 i
secrets in the tire industry. j
What you get depends on what is behind the name on yout i
tire. Brunswick, as you know,, means a very old concern, \
jealous of its good name. Since 1845 the House of Brunswick ,
has been famous the world over for the quality aof its products.
