The latest alarming bulletin concern
Ing the decadence of the human race
comes from Dr. Max G. Schlapp, says
the NetO York Sun. He finds that:
The people born today are weaker.
I'VE have more insane people born
today than twenty-five years ago.
I'VE have more feeble-minded and
persons suffering from nervous dis
orders born today than twenty-five
years ago.
Alcohol. industrialism, and the stress
OF modern life are tending to break the
race down." and, to omit no guaranty
of authenticity, DIR. Schlapp mournfully
points out that symptoms are appar-
ent today which prevailed at the begin
ming of the fall Of the Grecian and Ro-

HARD TO SILENCE BIG GUN.
French Can COnhne Noise to Hundred
Yards or 80.

French Can COnhne Noise TO Hundred
Yards or So.
Several things give away the position
of a big gun when it IS tired, the two
chief being the noise and the smoke.
Thanks to smokeless powder, however,
the latter has practically been doEe
away with says the Yorkshire Weekly
Post
The silencing of big gun is a more
difficult problem, and though in the
case of rifles and small guns the report
can be made almost negligible, the
gigantic rush of gases when a big
shell is fired prevents a complete silenc-
ing.
4 silencer which the French are us
ing is so effective that no sound of
firing can be heard over a greater dis
tance than a hundred yards or so.
The silencer is attached to the muS-
zle of the gun. AS the shell leaves the
gun a small shutter springs UP and
prevents the explosive gases escaping
I'm the usual way. 1t Is the sudden
fierce rush of gas which causes the
bang" when a gun is fired.
The gas passes out through the two
channels with nothing lika the rush
that is caused in the ordinary way. 1t
is impossible to stop the gases escap-
ing altogether, for the pressure Is 80
terrific that the gun would be blown
10 pieces.

ExTRAvAoANcEs OF BRITAIN

American Legislators are the best
salaried in the world, while Ameri-
can, administrative officers are, all
things considered, the poorest paid.
British legislators, on the other
hand, have until very recently been
paid no salaries at all from the pub
lie treasury, while the public officials
have been very highly paid. Not
only have large salaries been al
lowed, but it has been the custom to
grant big pensions to retiring pub
lie servants; pensions that corre-
spond somewhat to the retired pay
Of justices of our Supreme Court,
but that are several times larger.
The British civil list is an affair to
stagEer the maker of an American
budget. Certain hereditary peer
ages carry, generation after genera
tion, huge gratuities from the public
treasury, as if the fourth or fifth
generation after Lord Nelson of Ira
talgar were really entitled to a great
draft on the national purse. The
system of pensions for the favored
few, contrasts curiously with the
immense annual charge that the
American people meet in order to
distribute pensions to about a mil
hon survivors of the civil war or
their widows and dependents. 1t is
the contrast between the aristocratic
and the democratic conceptions of a
proper recognition of public service.
In need of every possible economy,
and demanding that expenses be re-
duced in all directions, the proposal
has now been made that the salaries
of cabinet ministers be reduced
about one-third, and that the pen
sion list be given attention. It is
high time, if the British government
proposes ever tc get close to its
masses of people,, After this war,
when a great pension charge must
be met, the people will view with in
creasing disaffection the distribution
OF great largesses to the fortunate
ones who commonly have least need
for them, and inevitably will more
and more compare the excesses on
one side with what in such a con-
tract will look like niggardliness on
the other

BEGIN XMAS SHOPPING NOW

Remember the week before Christ
mas last year? There were so many
relatives and friends on your Xmas
list, but you put off the purchasing
from day to day, and there you were
at the last minute with the duty still
unperformed. You surely remember
that.
And then you pitched in. What a
time you had of it! Have you for
gotten the hustle and hustle, the
pushing and showing, the congested
street cars and the crowded stores,
the disordered counters and depleted
stocks, the fatigued, irritable sales
people, and your own tired, nervous
self? Indeed you haven't; you never
could forget that.
Eventually the last present was
purchased, the last package wrapped
up and dropped in postofice or ex-
press station just in time to catch
the last train. What was it you ex-
Claimed with thaC sign OF renet !
Wasn't it:
"Well, I'll never get caught in this
pickle again. What a fool thing to
put off buying till the last minute.
This will not happen next year."
Is it going to happen?
The stores are brimming with
holiday gifts. Stocks are completed
and selections are unlimited. AS yet
there is comparatively no crowdlng
Sales people are bright and CHEEKY

"KICKED" coon ENGLISH.
Rebuke for Those Who Criticised JUS
tlce oliver WeIdeu Holmes.
(PhilndeIphin PmbEc LednerN


philadelphia Public Ledger.)
There is some disposition in the ultra
purist but otherwise ignorant circles to
kick" because Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes. of the United States supreme
court, son Of the "Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" used the word kick"
the other day. when in an oral opinion
in Washington he said the defendant
kicked against this" meaning. of course
that he "spurned it, or objected vio-
lently to it,. or protested decidedly
against such action" etc. etc. These
purists hold that the word kick" used
in this metaphorical and not literal sense
Is the kind of current slang that should
not be encouraged in high places.
Let us see just how current. or how
horribly American. as our British friends
say, the usage is! A certain venerable
gentleman named Wyclif used the word
in the metaphorical sense in which
Justice Holmes used it as far back as
the fourteenth century, and, later, Lat
inner. another able person. and others
made II a common usage; In 1896 II being
noted that "the wicked doe ever kicke
against the preachers while In Bible
published in 1911 | Samuel Xi. %, was
| translated wherefore kicke ye at my
sAcrihce?' I'm other words as. Prof.
Lounsbury always took such pleas
ure In pointing out, the current
and American" usage turns out to be
practically Chauceriah and. so far as
good English goes. as old as the hills.
OF course there Is bad slang and
again, there is cheap current slang: but
before the critics kick" at the justice S
English and, especially, one with such
a literary BACKGROUND, they had better
familiarize themselves with English as
she is spoke or has been spoke these
hundreds of years.

RUSS TAKE CHOPIN'S
HEART TO MOSCOW
Most Precious Relic, Which Had
Been Kept in CRsket, Re-
moved From Warsaw.

Before the Russians left Warsaw they
sent away from that city its most pre-
cious relic. the heart of Chopin, which
had been kept in casket in the church
of the Holy Cross there since 1S49, says
the London Chronicle. 1t is now in a
place of safety at Moscow. SheIley's
heart was also preserved in a casket.
When the poet was drowned off Leg
horn i'm 1922. his body was cTemated by
Byron. Leigh Hunt and Trelawney, and
his heart wac rescued from the flames
bY the last named.
When King Robert Bruce of Scotland
died in 1899. his heart. too, was pre-
served in a casket, II was given to his
friend. sir James Douglas, to be buried
in Jerusalem. On his way out of Pales-
tine. Sir James Douglas fell, fighting
against the Moors in Spain, and as he
fell he threw the precious relic before
him in the battlefield, crying out, Now
pass onward as thou vert wont. and
DouRles will follow thee or die"
The heart was found next day by Sir
Simon Leigh, who brought II back to
Scotland. where ii was buried In the
monastery os Melrose.
