"The American man is the most
sentimental man in the world"
The speaker was an actress who for
sock the stage to become an interior
decorator of the palaces of New York
millionaires
THE American man." she contin-
ued, 'is SO sentimental that he always
marries for love. His heart is like
that which the poet sang of. a casket
that can only be opened by love-"
What about the American girl?" a
broker asked.
"Oh, to cover the American girls
case" she replied. with a mischievous
smile, "the poet would have to change
his line to, The heart Is a casket
which love alone unlocks, but money
makes good skeleton key, which
often produces the same result"

When barn is burned, lightning
has set the fire In one case out of
i've. When a church is burned, light
ming is the cause in one instance out
of every six. When schoolhouse is
burned, it is lightning that does the
mischief in one of every twenty cases.
There is one kind of structure, how
ever, that far surpasses the barn in
point of liability to destruction by
lightning. This is the oil tank. -Four
out OF every ten fires that destroy oil
tanks are caused by lightning.

Measuring MoI.tur. In Wood.

Experts in wood technology have
perfected instruments that measure
the amount Of moisture in wood, and
thus have given to lumbermen infor-
nation of the utmost value to them,
since it has saved them many thou
sands of dollars in freight charges.
According to one writer 1000 pounds
of green lumber fresh from the saw
and cut from green logs contains from
four hundred to five hundred pounds
of water Nearly all fresh-cut wood
is at least one-third water. Some
woods contain twice as much water
as others.

Lack stavinu power

1t is astonishing how men lack this
power of holding on" until they
reach the goal. They can make a sud-
den dash. but they lack grit. They are
easily discouraged. They get on as
long as everything goes smoothly, but
when there is friction they lose heart.
They depend on stronger personalities
for their spirit and strength. They
lack independence and originality.
They dare only do what others do.
They do not step boldly from the
crowd and act fearlessly. Theodore
Cuyler.

BRADFORD HAS
REPLY Letter
Admits Assistants Engaged in
Private Law Practice.
But Not Much
GAVE CITY EXTRA TIME

Corporation Counsel James T..
Bradford Friday submitted n
third letter 20 The star. dealing
with tho charges against his OF.
flee. In this letter he takes up
the criticism first launched by
The Star last summer on the sys-
tenn In his office OF allowing as
sistants TO engage In private Law
practice while drawing city
salaries.
ITO a very small extent" says
Bradford. "the charge Is true. Am
hitious candidates have IN several
campaigns tried TO make II am Is
sue and ride into office on Il. The
Inference is sought To be conveyed
that such practice has interfered
with the dispatch OF public duties
and that the force IN the office
have not earned their salaries and
that somehow the taxpayer has
thereby been robbed.
During the entire four years |

case. which was a default divorce

paid the costs. No fees were re-
ceived by me.
-Nof little OF such practice
has been for poor people. from
whom little or no fees have been
received. Some of this practice
has been the completion Of
work which was brought into the
office when the appointments
NeFe made. There has. however.
heen q little other practice. but.
Judged by any fair standard, such
practice has been very small.
"What little time has been
uoed In such practice has either
hoeu done In vacation time or de-
Quoted from the two weeks vsca-
tion authorized by charter each
year. or else extra time was put In
Tor the city after hours. nights
ard holidays
The main thing. however. for
tbs public TO consider is: Has the
taxpayer been defrauded by such
practice. In fact. he has received
much more than he has paid for In
10Th extra time and work"
