Luke MoLusee Says:

 The only thing the average man knows about higher criticism is that his wife often bawls him out until he feels about as low down as a razor back hog.
 A woman likes to have a big closet in every room so she can have the pleasure of frisking through it for bur glars every night before she goes to bed
 People who are afraid to hand yc4 any back talk are not a bit afraid to hand you lot of talk behind your back.
 The sort of man who gets highly peeved because he can't find socks that will exactly match his necktie never makes a very big dent in the sands of time.
 There is just about as much fighting. talk nowadays as there was before the telephone became necessity, but there are fewer black eyes these days.
 Old man smallpox, is some unpopular But he hasn't much on the only win ner in a poker game after an all night session. u
 If men would work as much as they talk we would all have money.
 Every now and then man sits down and wonders why in Sam Hill his an cestors didn't have sense enough to buy real estate when the downtown section of. his home city was selling for 10 cents an acre.
 The old fashioned man who used to judge newspaper by its editorial page now has a son who judges 1t by it's sporting page.
 If genuine diamonds were on sale in 10 cent stores and coal was worth ST. GOO an ounce, women would be wearing hunks of coal in their ears.
 The. reason why we like to brag about our public school system and the importance of education is because a bod carrier gets more pay than a school teacher.
 Every bride imagines that older mar ried women envy her during the honey moon. But later on she discovers that what she thought was envy was mere ly pity.

Local Institution is Selected by National Association of Manufacturers to Demon strate Workings.
 MACHINE TRADE WILL.
 BE REPRESENTED
Superintendent J ohnson Ar ranges For Brid reporters
 to Give Practical Demon
 stration in New York City

No small honor for the Bridgeport Trade school will be accorded it in New York May g and 26, when the National Association of Manufactl1r- CTS will have an industrial educa ton exhibit The Bridgeport school has been selected to demonstrate the ma chine trade teachings, in the Colonial room of the waldorf Astoria
 Trade schools and apprenticeship systems from all over the country will take part exhibiting some of their special features which to the associa- tion have proven most efhcient and can be of benefit to all concerned Such trades as painting and decorat- ing, plumbing, sheet metal work, sill yer plating, textile work, carpentry, printing, machine work and tool nnak- ing and like trades will be represented. Of these the machine trade which all trade schools teach and SO giving wide opportunity for selection, is to be rep resented by the Bridgeport Trade school. A srepresentative from the Ma uonaI association recently took the matter up with Superintendent James F. Johnson and has urged him to place on exhibition one of the the 1O-inch lathes which the school manufactures:
 The exhibit is to take place in the Colonial room of the Waldorf Astoria, which will be turned into a real work shop It is planned to have one of the lathe under the same conditions he would while in his own shop, thus giv- ing clearer idea as to just how he is taught his trade. Incidentally the lucky apprentice who is to be selected for this occasion will have the time of his life. It is not very often that a young man. appears in overa11s in the Colonial room, of the Waldorf Astoria. ss It is thought that the lathe which is now on exhibition at the Hawley Hard ware store will be the one selected. This will be connected up to electrical power and run as a machine shop unit.

ARE BOSTON WOMEN OLD AFTER THEY
 PASS THIRTY? ]?

Boston. May 17-The age at which . woman ceases to be young is seerningIy defined in a rule of the Young Women Christian Association prohibiting w0rraen over thirty years of age and earhing more than $15 a, week frofn living at the Warrenton and Berkeley streets home. It Is planned to put the rule in force be- ginning in June,
 All the women who are hit by either one of the. two conditions say it is bad to have to own up to ones wages, but to have to5 s.fess up'' to being over the tnirty-year mark is the Last straw
 Miss Josephine M. ceufnby, the house director, says the rule is an old one but has never been enforc- ed, so that there are many middle aged women who have apparently settled down for life at the instI- fu1ion.
 .sAs the " c A is primarily for the younger girls Of the city who are earning sasAII salaries we feel justi- fled in asking the older women to move on.s she added
 It is estimated that fully 50 per cent of the women of the associa- lions two houses will be affected if this ruling is sustained at the next board meeting in June
