TURN !! R OUT MILLIONS OF PIPES
Manufacturers In The United States
Supply . Very Large Part OF
the Worlds Demand,

Over 100000 pipes are manufac.
tured annually in the United States.
The wooden pipe 10 probably more
distinctly national than any which
hnds it's way into the market. Rang.
ing in between the aristocratic meer.
schaum and the plebeian clay, 1t 10
rarely expensive. while at the same
time it's manufacture calls into exist
ence q considerable industry. The
roots Of the mountain laurel and rho.
dodendron are most generally used for
pipe making, they being selected for
the purpose ON account of their du.
rability, hardness and the light polish
which they are capable of taking. They
are found throughout the southern
states generally-the best material is
said to come from North Carolina and
is sent to the market in large pieces,
which vary in size from that of q
mans fist to the dimensions of good
sized keg. The material costs from
$40 to $50 per ton the price depend
ing upon the quality of the wood. In ad-
dition to the domestic material used
in pipe making, immense quantities Of
brier root blocks are shipped into this
country annually from southern
France and Italy.-Scientifc Amer

CARLYLE CALLED US BoREs
Equality Developed Monotony Of Type
In country's Second Epoch, Was
His Assertion.

Prof. Max Tarrand Of Yale, lectur.
ing ON American Traits" as developed
in the epoch Of 1912 to 1910, said
at Lowell institute recently, the Kan.
sas City Star observes:
Equality Of status is. of course.
not characteristic, but condition !;
yet 1t is q factor which has led to
the development Of important Ameri-
can traits. Here, where. IL absolute
equality did not exist. at least there
was far greater equality than there
was anything else; where, II there wac
not equality of opportunity for all
there was at least some opportunity
for all, the European relationship OF
superior and inferior classes could not
long continue. The inferior of today
were too likely to become the 'supe.
rior' Of tomorrow.
This meant, of course, great stim-
ulus to independence, and developed
the peoples self-reliance. 1ndepend-
ence is one Of the most conspicuous
American traits, and 1t has been not
without unpleasant manifestations. 1t
has induced lack of respect for au.
thority and for elders, and the exist
ence of equality has tended to re-
parkable monotony among the people
who developed these opportunities, till
Carlyle could say: Americans have
begotten, with rapidity beyond re-
corded example, $4,000. 900 of the great.
est bores ever seen in the world be-
fore.'
Yet in contrast with this deadly
equality, the existence of opportunity
for all individuals also led to strong
individualism among Americans, Civ.
ing each man a chance to develop
what was in him. Hence our love
for the self-made man, and hence the
American devotion to leaders rather
than to principles"

HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must Be Trained to Follow
caiIed-For Motions Along
Certain Path.

Those who think habit, is just
something you remember-that is, il
purely a mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit is a question Of mechan-
les as much as the smooth drawing
Of piston rod.
Habit is the action of nerve mo-
tions along q beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
q nerve moves because 1t cannot help
it, and SO on until the process is
complete, and the thing we call habit
is done.
There are as many of these paths
in the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which one
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path Of the action is
travelled over.
The first time the action is per
formed the nerve centers do not awak-
en- their successors readily. Fer
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs a
great many nerve centers is hard to
learn, because the path must be worn.
the nerve centers trained to act in
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit is formed. The second call upon
them is easier than the first, the third
easier than the second. etc.

Confession. Of a Census p.dder.

Confessions Of q Census Padder.
You see 1t was this way, from the
Atchison Globe: Atchison lost popu-
lation heavily in the last ten years,
according to the census returns just
made public. When Atchison's pop
ulation was returned as 1859 ten
years ago 1t was part of a scheme to
throw the county population above
thirty thousand and thereby increase
the pay Of county officials. And it
availed the county officials nothing.
for d. M. Cain blocked the scheme.
Being on record as having 1889 in
1905 Atchison annually thereafter re.
fused to make new census and, in
spite of protests by state officials, kept
sending in the 1905 report. Weary
ing Of the continual pressure 1t was
decided last summer to take" the
loss and let the population 60 in at
what It really was. That was 1928.
Actually. of course, there has been
q gain In population in ten years. Hun
