DIDN'T HAVE HIS NAPKIN ON
Farmer Thought His Wife Had For

n Guest.

When Charles A. Cotterill was
making up motor car tour in
northwestern Ohio not long ago with
member of congress, the machine
got stuck in the mud and the party
invaded farmers house with a re-
quest for dinner.
''T don't know you," said the con-
gresham to the farmer, "and you
don't know me, but you elected me to
congress, and now j want you to give
us dinner"
The farmer and his wife furnished
an elaborate meal, and it was when
the repast was half over that the
countryman, with worried look, ex-
claimed to his wife:
"Mommie, you didn't give Mr..
Cotterill a napkin"
"Oh,. yes" said CotterilI quickly;
''here it is" and he took it out Of his
lap and held it up for all to- see.

PARK ROCKER FOR FIVE. CENTS

San Jose, CAL, is trying in its
park a. bench devised H., w. Allen
for use in connection with the free
seats. 1t is a swinging seat so ar
ranged that until a nickel is depos-
tied in slot the back is tilted for
ward and the seat downward So that
it cannot be used. A coin releases
it, however, and provides a rocking
seat for two persons AS soon as
they leave the seat swings back to
its former position and requires an
other nickel to unlock it. In sunny
places the bench is placed under a
canopy. The inventor believes that
Sundays and other times when there
are unusual crowds in the park
many people will be willing to spend
a nickel for a comfortable seat for
their exclusive use.

LANGUAGE NEEDS NEW WORD
Pronoun That includes Lady and Gen
ternan at the Same Time Should
BE Devised.

Every now and then somebody
gets worked up because we lack a
convenient pronoun that includes a
lady and gentleman at the same
time. Her or she, so to speak, gets
tired Of saying he OF she when he or
she means Him or her without ref
erence to his or her sex. The device
is obviously clumsy when you come
to think of it, although the fact that
the language has worried along for
so many centuries has made most Of
us pretty well used to it.
Just now some Of these people
are suggesting the adoption Of new
word, "thon." Anybody, they say,
who wishes to simplify thon speech
will do thon duty by expressing thon
opinion.
Nevertheless, we doubt the imme-
date admission of "thon." If the
innovators are really determined to
find he-or-she substitute, we adj
wise them to send for George AIDE
and engage him to invent one that
can jump gayly into common speech
as the latest addition to our slang
vocabulary. That's the way to get
a new word into the language

MEASURES DOOR or FLOWERS
Balance Invented BY italian Physicist
Shows Weight Of the Per-
fume Emitted.

The amount Of odbr given Off by
flowers, essential oils and other sub
stances has long been matter Of
wonder, which has found expression
in the statement that a grain Of
musk may perfume an apartment for
years without appreciable loss.
But Signor Salvioni, an Italian
physicist, has now made the loss
measurable. He has devised bal
ance sensitive enough to weigh even
odors, and said to depend for its
chief part upon a very fine thread of
glass fixed at one end and extending
horizontally.
The substance to be weighed is
placed on the free end. This causes
a DETECTION, and the amount is
measured by a micrometer, having
powerful magnifying glass for maxi
ing its readings, great care being
taken to avoid errors from such
causes as temperature variations and
air currents
1t is claimed that, with proper adj
justment, a variation in weight as
small as the thousandth Of a milIi-
gram--or one ffteen-thousandth Of
grain-can be accurately determined

The scheme is merely to substitute

The scheme is merely to substitute
the credit Of the state for that Of the
county, for the state can borrow mo-
ney at several per cent less interest
than any county. No capital of the
state is tied UP in the project for
the state is protected by the county
bonds and gets it's money back
through the regular tax collections.
Mr. Dunn says that such system is
in operation in Massachusetts, and
that municipalities are now getting
money for three per cent whereas
they formerly had to pay six and
seven. T..
PEI On the face of it the proposition is
a good one If it is properly safe
guarded. The. attorney general
would have to look into the bond is
sues as carefully as would the attor-
ney of an investing company. There
is plenty of home capital that would
take care of such bonds and there is
no necessity of any county paying
more than four per cent for it's
bonds. =

germs to some-..&extent. Telephones
phouldebe washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible, a good

New Idea From Dunn.

Bob Dunn, whose think factory
works overtime conceiving new
schemes by which money for good
roads may be obtained, has evolved
another thriller. It is that the state
should lend it's credit to the counties
In order that they can obtain money
for good roads at low rate Of in
terest. : 49, -
The scheme would work out like
this, he says: The people of any
county might decide to build a sys-
TEN of highways and bond them
selves for the improvement. The
bonds will then be issued and for
warded to the state treasurer to be
held until paid On the basis of
these bonds, the state would then
decide to issue state = bends. & The
state bonds would merely be q sub
stitute for the county bonds: The
state auditor would assess the coun-
ty sufficiently to pay the interest and
provide { sinking fund for the bonds.

Mail Orders and Parcels Post.

Here is what a wholesaler in
Western New York found about par
cells post-it's about an even break
between the mail order house and the
local merchant on prices.
The local dealer has the advanta age
OF direct touch and personal service.
The mail order house has the ad-
vantage of bigger stock and more
systematic advertising.
He picked fifty of his customers in
New York and Pennsylvania, repre-
senting average trade conditions, and
asked them for quotations on nine
teen standard articles that can be
handled to advantage by mail deliv-
cry. He found that there was not so
much range of retail prices as was
generally supposed. There was lit:
tie variation in prices. Then he
compared the average price of the
nineteen articles with the price at
which they were offered by the mail
order houses. -
Then he assumed that they were to
be sent by mail within the 600 mile
zone, that is more than 800 miles
and not over 900.
Here is the result:
Retail price Of nineteen articles.
$26.77. /
, Mail order price $22.5o; postage
$5.54-total $3.50. /
The retail merchant has a margin
of $1.33 to cover cost of local post
age. $. Edward Rose of Elmirs, who
compiled these figures, does not say
how near that comes to covering the
postage the retail merchant must pa "
on the local delivery but he indicates
that it won't quite do it. He figures, t
however. that the situation is by no
means discouraging for the retail
