1t looks very much as of the vice
abatement law passed by the last les-
islature would go by the board. In
Iowa a similar law has been declared
unconstitutional. And the funny thing
of it all is that two-thirds of those
who voted for it at the last legisla-
ture realized that it was of no value.

The failure Of the man who does
not save his money is not only due
to the fact that he has no money
with which to take advantage Of the

Of every man. but also and partcu-

Penalties of Genius.

Genius and i'll health. it would seem, often go hand in hand. At any rate, many of the greatest deeds that the world has seen performed have been accomplished by men physically in firm.
 Darwin suffered so acutely from nervous exhaustion that he could only work for two hours day at the most. Thackeray was frequently ill; Johnson nearly always in poor health; Dickens at the age of fifty-fve was an old man, with shattered nerves; while Sir Wal ter Scott, subject of spasms, was a chronic invalid during the later years of his life and died at the age of fifty nine.
 Milton, William Morris and Charles Keane, the actor, all were slaves to gout, and Milton was further handi- capped by being blind. The poet Keats died of consumption when still quite young. Elizabeth Barrett Brown ing was an invalid for the greater part of her life.
 Insanity claimed Dean Swift, while Rousseau and COwper were insane during periods of their lives.

Her First Ice Cream Soda.

She was evidently more than fifty and she showed eveEy outward sign of poverty and hard work-unending hard work. But evidently this was a special event and her eyes shOne with excitement. She entered one of the big drug stores and while her excitement viSibly increased her as surance seemed to fade. After hesi- tating a moment she walked over to the soda fountain, where a pleasant faced boy was ''wiping up." Pushing a nickel over the marble counter, she blurted in an awkward manner that she wanted a soda. The proprietor of the drug store, who was watching her, is a kindly man and he grasped the situation at once. With a bound he was behind the counter before the boy could tell this excited reveler that her soda would cost ten cents. Then he himself mixed a delicious strawberry ice cream soda and gave it to the little old woman, who sank contentedly upon one of the stools at the counter and gave herself over to it. The proprietor smiled crOokedly down at the nickel as he dropped it into the cash drawer and rang up five cent sale.- Exchange.

A handsome young woman entered the office of Il prominent lawyer. Inn mcdiately the legal one rose to greet her.
 "I am glad to tell you, Miss smith, he pleasantly remarked, that your breach of promise suit has been set tied. The defendant has expressed a desire to compromise the case by mar rying you.'
 "l am very glad to hear that" was the smiling response of Miss Smith. "It is much better than taking q chance on losing the verdict. You have managed the case very well. How much do owe yOu?'
 Let me sec" thOughtfully unused the lawyer. Shall we say $1OO?"
 "We shall not" was the emphatic rejoinder of the fair plaintiff. Tt is entirely too much"

First Actress InLondon,

It was warm reception that was given to the first French players to appear in London in 1929. Their visit was an utter failure. 1t was notable. however, for the important innovation which was the chief cause of their unpOpularity.
 The luckless troupe introduced ac- tresses for the first time on the Eng fish stage-''t thereby giving just offence to all vertuOus and well-disposed per, sons in this town," wrote Thomas Brande, refecting the spirit of the playgoer of that time, who was used to seeing boys take the female char acters.
 These French women, or monsters rather" were missed, hOOted and pip pin pelted from the stage" The first move against this prejudice was not long delayed, however. Five years later another French company came to London with women players, under royal patronage, and were received with good appreciation" at the Cock pit in Whitehall.-LOndon Graphic.

PREVENTION OF PNEUMONIA.
It Is Largely a Question of Persona
 Precaution.

It Is Largely a Question of Personal
 Precaution.
 Pneumonia is particularly disease of city life and crowded living. With our present knowledge the prospects are hopeful for the control of pneumo- mia in the future through prevention. This is of special importance to the in- dividuaI. The avoidance of pneumonia 6 largely a question of personal pre- cautions that prevent the development of the disease by lessening the pred1S- position to it.
 Men in middle life, particularly those about fifty, must learn during unset tied weather to avoid crowds, especial ly when fatigued and when they have been for a number of hours without eating. Late at night. when for any reason a meal had been missed, crowds are dangerous. If this lesson could be generally learned there would be less pneumonia among the we'll to do class es. The principal danger comes in crowded street cars, which, if possible, should be avoided at rush hours. It needs to be emphasized that the dan ger from OvercrOwding is greatly en- hanced by fatigue and going without food.
 In a word, prevention of pneumonia is now much clearer than 1t was. Like all the other infectious diseases. tn- stead of being a more or less inevita- ble dispensation. 1t has come to be rec ognized as due to certain definite fac tors which can be greatly lessened by public and individual hygienic regula- tions.-Journal of the American Medi- cal Association.

Roarinu WaQs,

The Red Lion club was composed of great Englishmen, and Huxley was one of the members. The club used to meet during the session of the British association. To a certain meeting at Ipswich, England, which Huxley de scribed in his Letters" some foreign CTS were invited, the Prince of CaninO, Bonaparte's nephew, among them, and greatly astOnished they were at the exceedingly human behavior of the learned professors. The Red Lion men had custom of roaring instead of cheering and of wagging one coattail- the lions taiI-when applauding. The prince was much impressed by these proceedings, and when he stood np to respond to the toast of his health in stead of making a speech he gave three mighty rOars and three wags.

How to Be an Inventor,

A retired professor of mechanical engineering was called upon to deliver few lectures on invention to the senior engineering classes. His first injunction was that when one atom, {, to devise machine to do certain thing, one must consider directly t.t fundamental operations to be perform ed and must wipe from the mind ai existing methods and all precOncei c" notions. He stated that one so ca.."r inventor attempted in the days of th, scythe to invent a moving mach,nv Being familiar only with the ythr he designed a horse drawn macllin, which would swing a scythc. II, simply replaced the man by a mech anisn. It is needless to say t2at h. invention did not survive. The prob lem of efficiently cutting hay and grain was not successfully solved until Il was attacked by a man with an Oper mind, and he devised the knife of the modern moving machine or reaper.- American Machinst.
