HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very ''sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though X hardly threatened rain.
Quick as fash she answered her
questioner, HE carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie.'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out OF the window, here comes your
son William, and hs is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady, But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, il all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that il contains They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism OF
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine. and if it is not
harmful in one il can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
IS bound to include Coca Cola.
OF course. the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

or librarians OF small Libraries who
will go to their schools and Libraries
with larger ideas of the Importance
OF the influence of a library, even in
the smallest communities. This is
especially true in the selection OF
books which are so powerful for good
or evil. The fact that through the
travelling library plan $4,000 good
books are circulated in this state last
year, and all in the rural schools,
oranges, farmers clubs and other as
sociations, 800 framed pictures were
loaned to schools for six months and
3,000\ unframed pictures TO women's
clubs, is all the reward we want for
Is years hard work"
Mrs. Mary C. Spencer was appointed
state librarian by former governor,
John r. Rich, in 1884, and has served
in that capacity for Is years. Under
her direction the state library has de-
veloped until it is now recognized
as the foremost of its kind in the
country.

With the exception of State High

mission, all state employees whose sal
aries were increased by the last legis-
lature are legally entitled to receive

cording to a ruling OF Attorney Cen
eral Fellows.
Although Section Of article 16 OF
the constitution provides that salaries
of public officers, except circuit
judges, shall not be increased or de-
creased after election or appointment,
Attorney General Fellows holds that
the constitutional provision is aimed
at appointiye or elective officers chos-
en- for a specific time and not the
employees who are subject to removal
at the pleasure of their employers.
The last legislature increased the
salary of the state highway commits
sioner from $4,000 to $500 per year,

ton, Thomas Carney and o. +. Barnes
Of the state tax commission received
their commissions before the act went
into effect increasing the salaries Of
the commissioners from $500 to 49,
500 per year Therefore they will not
receive increases as a result Of Eel
lows ruling.
deputy Attorney General Daugher-
ty will receive an Increase from $4,000
to $4,000 per year. Deputy State
Treasurer German will draw $500
instead of $4,000. Deputy Insurance
Commissioner Herbert Orr is adyanc-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. Ma
jor Nisbett, private secretary to Gov.

Labor Commissioner James Cunning
ham says that since the order went
out from his department requiring
restaurant proprietors not to work
their female employees more than "a
hours per week, number of the pro-
prietors have complied with the law.
The first attempt to enforce the
law was made in Grand Rapids. Com
missioner Cunningham received word
that one restaurant proprietor had
reduced the working hours of his girls
from " to 90 and he promised TO
regulate their work so that none
would be employed more than "a
hours.
Commissioner Cunningham believes
that there will be general disposi-
ton on the part of the employers to
live up to the new order and he
does not anticipate serious trouble in
enforcing it, Many Of the girls have
already written TO the labor commits
sioner thanking him for the interest
he has taken in their behalf.
