ON CITY CORRUPTION.

London, Birmingham, and Glasgow
are not exceptional instances.
Throughout Great Britain municipal
purity and pride are associated with
wide social activity. Reform parties
persist because their program is never
completed. "Still achieving, still pur-
suing" they constantly discover fur
ther scope for social effort Continu-
ity of party depends on continuity of
policy. All the large towns in Scot
land and all but six in England have a
municipal water-supply; 200 cities con-
troll their own gas-service; two cities
have municipal for every one that has
private electric light; many of them
own their own street railway tracks;
and since the house of commons re-
moved the restriction on municipal
operation, there is a wide tendency to
refuse to lease them to companies.
Boston, Massachusetts, has started on
a similar career with similar effect.
There every man who bathes at the
beach baths or takes his shower in the
palatia1 all-year baths, every boy who
attends the municipal summer camp,
and every woman who enjoys a stroll
in the extensive parks or attends free
city concert, has solid reason to sup

PROFIT IN GUAVAS.

The fruit growers of the section
around Miami, Fla, are rejoicing over
the price of guavas this season. One
grower has contracted for his entire
crop with a Jacksonville firm at 8 cents
pound, delivered at the railroad.
This makes his crop net him $1.58
bushel. A well-known guava grower
said: There is big money in growing
guavas at 25 cents a bushel. There is
no branch of fruit culture that pays as
large profits as growing this popular
fruit. In that secion of the country
where trees have good cultivation, the
guava bears II months in the year.
What is needed is home factory that
will purchase all the fruit grown in
that section. This would give employ
ment to several hundred men, and the
money would be expended there. Cap
tain Simmons, of Cocoanut Grove. is
the largest manufacturer of guava
products of anyone in that section. He
has discovered a method of manufac-
turing wine from the guava, which is
destined to become very popular. The
percentage of alcohol is very slight,
and it has been proved a most excel
lent remedy for dyspepsia and cases Of
debility. Savannah News.

Lord ChandOs never made any re-
mark upon it-every lady has some
foible, some little popularity. She
was a perfect wife, and this little feel
ing of small jealousies was not worth
mentioning. If they went to ball and
he danced three times with the same
lady he knew he would hear some
thing in faint dispraise. If he ad-
mired any one as good rider or
good dancer, out would come some
little criticism; he smiled as he heard,
but said nothing-it was not worth
while. Like a kind-hearted man he
bore this little failing in mind, and II
ever he praised one woman, he TOOK
care to add something complimentary
to his wife. So the three years had
passed and this was the spring-tlde OF
the fourth, the showery, sparkling
month of April; violets and primroses
were growing, the birds beginning 10
sing, the leaves springing, the chest
nuts budding, the fair earth reviving
after it's long swoon in the arms of
winter. The London season of this
year was one of the best known, no
cloud of either sorrow or adversely
hung over the throne or the country;
trade was good, everything seemed
bright and prosperous; but the great
event of the season was most certainly
the first appearance in England of the
new singer, Madame Vanira, whose
marvellous beauty and wonderful voice
were said to drive people mad with ex-
element and delight.
1t was to see her that Lord and Lady
Chandos went to the Royal italian
opera on that night in April on which
our story is continued.

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS.
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
than Are Single Women

1t appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken in their notion that
there is an enormous surplus of unmar-
ried women in this country. The truth
is that no such excess of spinsters ex-
lists; in fact, it is quite the other way,
the bachelors outnumbering the
maidens. At the present moment there
are in the United States 100000 more
unattached males than females SINH
larly situated, the exact figures being
5,427,7 67 bachelors against 1924 94
spinsters of ages from 20 years up.
Thus it is obvious that if girls do not
find husbands it is not for lack of a
plentiful supply of the article. What
is required, seemingly, is general mi
grafton of spinsters from the north and
east to the great and growing west, in
parts of which there are ten available
males for every maid.
From the last remarK, however, it
must not be inferred that there is actu-
ally an excess of unmarried women in
the northern and eastern states Even
in those parts of the country there are

old and upward, Notwithstanding the
theory to the contrary so widely ac-
cepted. No state in the Union has as
many maidens as bachelors-not even
Massachusetts, where the figures are
PIG, 255 spinsters, against 226,O85 bach
elors. Massachusetts is the banner
state for spinsters, the bachelors out
numbering them by only two-tenths of
one per cent. Next comes Rhole Is
land, where the excess of bachelors
is two per cent. The excess of bache-
lors in the District of Columbia is
eight per cent, in North Carolina nine
per cent, in New Hampshire nine per
cent, in Connecticut twenty per cent,
in Maine thirty-seven per cent, and
in Vermont ffty-four per cent. In
Maryland the bachelor surplus is nine
teen per cent, in New Jersey it is
twenty-five per cent, in New York it
is twenty-six per cent, and in Virginia
it is twenty-five per cent. All of these
are low percentages, so far as the SUI
periority of bachelors in point of num-
bers is concerned.
