Public Halls Now Looked Upon
AS Municipal Necessities

The old town half which pioneer Amer
leans set in every township center" was
good deal more than civic building. In
it the young people gave their amateur
theatricals, and the lodge held its annual
oyster supper" and the women met for the
quilting bee, and old and young gathered
for spell down." Tt was place for all
social gatherings which were too large for
schoolhouse, and not adapted to a church.
The building of great municipal halls, as
recently taken up, is regarded as purely
modern inspiration. Kansas City has one,
and Cleveland proposes to build one cost
ing 81, 100000, if bonding the same is voted
at the next election
But after all there is nothing new in the
municipal hall idea, except its many inn
proved features for promoting some very
old social uses.
There is acting, for instance To give a
play is one of the oldest of social inclina-
lions. Just now craze for dramatic art is
sweeping from the kindergarten to the col
lege. And a playhouse appears to be one
of the most desirable features of any nlu-
nicipa1 hall
Such municipal theater has been con-
Quoted IN northampton, Mass, Tor the past
four years. It's director, Miss Jessie Bon
STEELE, says:
my dream is of a municipal playhouse
which would include theater, bowling
alley, pool room, gymnasium, swimming
tank, library and a rest room. If the hus-
band didn't care to see the play he could
let his wife go while he amused himself
down stairs. And the rest room would be
only for those who desired at any time dur
ing the day or evening, a period of absolute
quiet"
Probably public halls in big and little
towns will soon be looked upon as munich
pal necessity. But if they are ever to serve
any community completely, they must en-
body ample opportunities for the same So
cial activities which were once offered by
the primitive town hall.

The Yellow Peril And
The Yellow Rambler

Because the Chinese have been farm
ing some sections of their country for 1909
years, the United States department of az
riculture believed that they must have dis
covered many things which would prove
of great valute to American farmers. So a
plant explorer" Frank N. Meyer, was
sent to China three years ago, with instruc-
ton to collect vegetation adapted to
swampy, or alaki1 lands, or to conditions
of drought or excessive heat
Meyer tramped abut 1900 miles in his
search. Perhaps his most valuable discov-
cries are those which concern the growing
of aquatic plants and vegetables which of
fer promising possibilities for the utiliza-
ton of swamps.
The find which flower lovers will most
appreciate is that of a yellow rambler rose.
In time when most Of the nations Of
the earth are industriously swapping de-
structive devices, one way or another, it is
comfort to record any constructive en-
deavor of man, however slight it may be-

Why Should Not Uncle Sam
Develop His Own Gas Lands

Gasoline's long flight skyward begins to
show the expected tragic results. Among
the innocent victims" of the present gaso-
line raid are Baltimore motor transporta-
ton company which went out of business
last week on account of the increased cost
of motor fuel, and one of the largest of the
New York taxicab companies which failed
the other day for the same reason.
It is not only the owner of a small car
who can qualify as the innocent victim of
the soaring cost of gasoline. Department
stores in some of the large cities use over
10000 gallons of gasoline a month for
which they are now paying in the neigh
borhood of $2400 month Thus all shop
pers are innocent victims" because the ex-
ira charge must of course be paid by them
as their share of the cost of delivery of the
goods they buy.
That is why everybody is tremendously
interested in Uncle Sans present investiga-
ton of gasoline.
The federal trade commission is now
working on this inquiry with the depart
ment of justice Among other points
which will be considered is "the exact rela-
ton between the several companies into
which standard oil was dissolved in 1911"
That is exactly what the innocent vic
TINS" want most to know. According to
Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati who has
studied the subject, "the Standards priv
ilege of taxing the American people is
worth three times as much as it was when
+ba +r41ct xxyac 1r0c -
IF indirect methods of controlling the
big oil corporations only result in TRIPPING

Uncle Sam try direct competition?
He owns his own gas lands.
Why should he not develop them?

Let the Sunlight In
And SWeeten Life

Sunlight is great germicide. Our pion-
eer grandmothers did not know much about
germs, but they acted on modern principles
when they hung their milk pals and strain
ers in the sun ito sweeten,' as they said
Sunlight, as well as fresh air, should be
used as part of the general processes of
housekeeping The thrifty habit of shut
ting out the sun in order to keep carpets
and draperies from fading indicates large
degree of ignorance of modern methods of
sanitation.
The airing and summing of bedding every
week. all the year round, is most import
ant part of good housekeeping, but one
which is much neglected, especially by
women who live in fats, where science is
very often sacrificed to aesthetics
Therefore it becomes imperative that at
housekeeping time the under side of rugs,
carpets, mattresses and cushions should be
exposed to the sun and air for as long a
period as possible.
Sunlight is free to all
Plants will not thrive without it.
Animals love to bask in it.
Only man shuns it and by so doing he in
ours unnecessary danger from tuberculosis

THE BEAUTY OF
FLORIDA'S SHORELINES
Tampa Times.)
N~AA~~ANA ANN4ANNA

People who have not made the trim
down the Gulf coast to Cuba or up
the Atlantic coast from Key West
have missed an offering from Mother
Nature, for nowhere in the world do
shorelines present more varied bean
ties than those of Florida. Those
whose wealth have allowed them to
make this close-in-to-shore trip in
their private yachts are indeed fortu-
nate, and it is cause for qualification
that the lake-dotted country behind
these shore lines present scenes that
are equally inspiring.
Whether one floats on the bosom OF
the restless Atlantic or the less temp
estuous Gulf, the scenes presented in
the light of a benediction-pronounc-
ing sun or the silvery rays of the
moon are sufficient to bring forth the
cry, "The heavens declare the glory
of God, and the armament showeth
His handiwork." No master painter
or writer can adequately describe the
wonders of Floridl's shorelines, which
cast magic spell upon all who are
permitted to voy;ge along them. In
their beauty we find one of many
blessings, of with most of us take
little or no consideration.
Under the caption, "Florida
Shores" H. e. HTman published the
following poem il a recent issue Of
a Macon paper:
The white sails fl before an urging
wind
That blows froi off some shore Of
Gods sunlight fals where sight and
vision end
And makes the rean of other DAYS
come true.
Yon stunted pine bend low against
the sky,
Dwarfed for arhundred years by
scanty soil,
Like eager souls, without the wings
to fly
Held down by ant and unreward- |
ing toll.
A day with wind Ken set from south
ern shores,
A day with brikers tossed from
east to we-
A day of sea-lifS which the heart
adores-
A day the soulf freedom loveth
best.
Twilight off shor&nearby the mist
and maze
That comes witlnight, and nightly
moan of sea-
Twilight on ocean lad, mysterious
ways
That leaves its softened glow and
gloom with he.
Tall palm trees fiscoed on a sky Of
blue
White gypsie cAds on vagrant err
rands bent;
My boat, the riverFlreaming eyes and
you,
Behold my kinHom in a word
content"

High Cost of Lying
Fixed By Kansas Judge

/. A lie, as passed upon by Kansas judge,
can be measured in money. In certain
court, man was find So for gambling and
500 for lying to the judge.
The price of lie is usually hidden and
therefore the unintelligent often expect to
profit by untruths.
However, only few of them do Liars
pay, eventually, in lack of the confidence
of all those with whom they do business !;
and thus in a life time, they lose financially
many times over the 500 estimate made by
the Kansas judge.
A mans "credit" in his community is his
most valuable asset. He begins to estab-
lish his credit in his youth. His dealings
with the boys in school fix a reputation
which will follow him to the ends of the
earth, and perhaps determine his success
or failure in life.
Reckoned so, $98 per lie carries consider
able practical significance. Perhaps the
world should be grateful to the Kansas
Judge for fixing rate by which the high
Cost of lying may be determined
