PIE VS.. OLD AGE

'The Jerseymsn who ate pie vice
daily all his life and died, last week,
ct SO, is now up for discussi on.
Whether he did wrong in continuing
to eat pie after he was 80, or should
have cut it out is one problem. We
feel sure that unless our inanci al af.
fairs improve such a situation will
never confront us.-State NeaCS.

cannot, perhaps, discuss without
bias this important question
whether an octogenarian should
chew or eschew that succulent
aftermath of a first-class dinner
pie.
Our aged Jerseyman munching
pie at four.score might have lived
longer had he been less pieous-
tho we doubt it--but he certainly
would have missed a deal of fun.

A CUN.TOTER CAUGHT

Last Monday a Well-dressed,
genteel:looking young colored
man, an employee of the Law.
renceville, N. j., School, was ar.
rested in Middletown for carry.
ing a concealed deadly weapon,
viz, a big No. 38 revolver. In
default of bail he was sent to the
workhouse to await the next
grand jury.
This folly may prove a costly
one to this youth-may lose him
a good position. If so, we are
not sorry, for this detestable
practice of going around in a
peaceful community armed with
a deadly weapon, so easily drawn
in a moment of anger, to the
terror or injury of good citizens,
is an outrage for which there can
be offered not one shred of ex.
cuse.
White or black, we hope the
Court will jail every offender of
this sort-for Imprisonment is
the only thing that will break up
this excuseless, hateful practice,
which is especially common
among the colored youth of Della
ware.

REMOVE THOSE H0C-BACKS

0Inasmuch as several accidents
have nearly happened to teams
driving over the high culverts,
on South Broad street, and since
public opinion is unanimous in
condemning those dangerous
erections, The TRANSCRIPT feels
it a duty to call the immediate
attention Of the Town Commis-
sioners thereto.
If, as is asserted, those culverts
are not constructed according to
contract specifications, then their
removal ands proper rebuilding,
should at once be demanded of
the contractors responsible for
the blunder. Those unsightly
hog. backs, are dangerous enough
now; in winter time, covered with
ice and snow, they will be an in.
tolerable nuisance for horses, not
to speak Of pedestrians. Yer

Meerschaum Getting Scarce.

The valuable material from which
neerschaurn pipes are made is con-
tinually getting scarcer and the large
industry which has fiourished in Wen
ma, Budapest, Nuremberg, Paris and in
the Thuringian town of Ruhla seems
endangered. The manufacture of
meerschaum pipes is much more i'm
portant than is generally supposed.
The town of Ruhla alone has been ex-
porting in round figures pipes to the
value of about $1,500.000 annually.
The finest grade of meerschaum is
found near Eski-Scheir, in Anatolia,
Asia Minor, in hollow, which in early
days was a lake, in which the meer>
schaum was precipitated. Meerschaum
is also found IN other places, including
Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnian Mountains
in the neighborhood of Grubschitz, and
Nuendorff in Moravia and In some sec
tons of Spain and Portugal

HOW TO WIN POPULARITY
Surest Method Is to Be Interested In
The People One
Meets.

One of the surest methods of win.
ming popularity is to be interested in
the people one meets. Not lip in
terest merely, but deep, actual in
terest that takes one out of ones self
and ones narrow circle and for the
moment places one in the midst of
another's sorrow or Joy and lets one
see life from her standpoint.
A girl who can listen sympathetical-
ly and with the real interest to the
details of another girls wardrobe and
the list of her admirers has the germ
of universal popularity already de-
veloped
1t may seem a trivial and tiresome
matter and she may feel conscious
all the time that she has far more
interesting things to tell. but, whether
or not she realizes 1T, she is laying
the foundation stone Of friendship.
Hearts, after all, are very much alike.
and each one has the craving for SYM
pathy securely planted in its depth.
But nothing irritates one more and
turns one from another's personality
so quickly as the simulated and insin-
cere interest which, eventually, is al
ways detected. The girl who says
with deep emotion and with the soft
pedal stop of apparent sympathy
turned on, my dear, how dreadful"
to the condolences of a sickeDing
heart, and then hastens to break in
with some frivolous fact about her
self or her social engagements, is not
apt to win much affection, and GER
tainly not any lasting love.

Stealing a Comet.

A European astronomer has tried

Some weeks ago a new comet was
announced and received the name Of
the comet Cerulli, after its finder.
Soon, however, other astronomers
were unkind enough to point out that
he had appropriated what belongs to
another, and that this was without
doubt Fay's comet, discovered In
lS43.
Its period is a little less than 71s
years, and it made its Temperatures
on time up to 1895.

WHERE GOLD AccUMULkTEs
Russia Passes All Other Countries
In Hoarding Up the Pre-
cious Metal.

In ten years Russia has added $780,
100000 to its stock of gold, raising the
total in the treasury to 3704, 600, 000
Even France has been passed in the
contest Of accumulation In ten years
the Bank of France has increased its
supply of the metal by 1928, 0O0.0 900,
raising the total to $67S, 000, 900. One
year ago Russia held less than France,
but in the interval the former has
gained s66,000,000, while the latter has
lost $63,000,000. 1t may be learned
with some surprise that Italy ranks
third as an accunulator of gold
since 1900. it's stock having risen from
s77,000,000 to 94,000,00O, gain of
$117 200, 900. Germany has gained
only little over s5,000,O0O, while the
Bank of Englands increase has aver
aged only s3,OOO,o 900 per annum. or less
than $33 100000 in all. Its gold supply
today stands Just under 5000. 900, 900,
which is exceeded not only by Russia
and France, but by Austro-Hungary,
and is only $4,000 above Germany's.
and 100000 above Italy's stock,
while, Of course, 1t is little more than
half the amount held by the New
York clearing house banks alone, to
say nothing of the billion odd dollars
that is retained in the United States
treasury. Twenty years ago France
held only 1868, 1000, 900. Germany $685.

Austria-Hungary the insignificant to-
tai of 100000, against 1927, 100000
