has MESSAGE FOR ALL BOYS
Young Man Draws Lesson From
Strange Experience Which Fell
to His Lot.

sT wish / could send message to
every boy in the world Of a sad and
strange coincidence that happened to
me when / was boy" exclaimed a
young man the other day
zone hot, sultry July afternoon-the
hottest day we had that summer
had just turned our street corner when
met my father.
al wish you would deliver this
package for me. joe he said rather
weakly, as l remembered afterward.
Now was only thirteen years old and
had been out playing in the hot sun all
morning and was all In when ] met
my father after playing a ten-inning
game with our side the losers. My
first impulse was to refuse. but one
glance ar his kind. gentle face stopped
me. Surely / viii go, father / said
pleasantly.
"'Thank you. son. was the answer.
Il was going myself. but / don't feel
very well today and / thought you
would not refuse, as you have always
been a good boy TO me, joe
Il walked away thinking 1atner ulu
not care much about his only son. or
he would not send me on this jaunt
(about one mile and half), on such
hot day. But somehow the words,
4 thought you would not refuse and
You have always been a good boy to
me. joe seemed to ring in my ears
and before / reached the end of my
journey | was whistling a merry tune.
Returning home. I saw our doctors
auto and crowd of people at our
door. One of my aunts hurried to meet
me with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Your father fell dead just as he reach
ed the stoop.' she said.
81 found out later the last words my
father spoke were. You have always
been a good boy to me, joe"

New TALKING "Movies.n

Application has been made for a
patent on very elaborate device
which would produce combination of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new.
but the difficulties of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
BY synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
iected by one machine. with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant. the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech of
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to a photograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements of the
moving picture camera.

inasmuch as il is reported from
Washington that the Susan b. An
thony amendment which would submit

as a splendid war measure we suggest
that ii be made a rider to the food

is about the only thing that hasn't
been mixed into the food legislation,
and ii Is certainly the time TO settle
the yotes-for-women question and the
prohibition question The matter of
taking care of our armies and our

pales into insignificance when a com

job. and they should be permitted to

affairs The spectators need few
more days-they haven't got quite
enough. SO let us continue to hold up
war legislation and devote our time to
the more important matters which
confront us. The war isn't very close
TO us, anyway. at least many of us
refuse to believe II is close.

A STAMP LICKING NATION.

Stamplicking may soon rank with
golf as an expensive pastime II the
revenue bill now before the Senate
pass in it's present form. At least
that's the way one statistics lover
looks at it.
The bin calls for stamps for bank
checks, stamps for steamship tickets,
lamps for voting proxies for stock
certificates, and every known form
OF legal document. Altogether, says
the statistical expert there. will be
enough stamps 10 require 16,666.666
hours of time for the simple process
of licking them. That would take
5.555 men ten hours day for year
to lick ali the stamps, At So day
they would consume $s,333.33S worth
OF time.
This estimate seems to consider
only the licking. The labor of press
ing the stamps on the documents
would add not an inconsiderable
amount 10 the total. And the reve-
nue. to be yielded by all this stamp
licking will be only SS0,0O0,0OO.
It's a painful outlook, to be sure.
unless perhaps il directs the public
from the older pastime of chewing
gum.

Worlds Riorest Fish Mel.

The largest fish net in the world
will soon be in use in these waters,
says the Avalon Islander. 1t is $500
feet long. 800 feet deep and has FIVE
purselike pockets made of two-inch
re-enforced mesh. Two S0-foot tugs
and a fleet of small boats will accom-
pany the net. The equipment viii cost
almost 100000 TO fish for three
months. What chance for its life will
any fish have with such net combing
the channel day and night?

Coin Works Electric Fan.

There is now on the market an cleo
trio fan which can be operated only by
placing a coin in its slot, whereupon
it operates for a certain length of
time, according to the amount of cur
rent which the owner desires to supply
for the money paid. says the Scientific
American.
When a coin is dropped into the slot
a clock mechanism is wound up in the
base of the fan. For a niclle, for in
stance. the fan may operate one hour,
either constantly or internationally, ac-
cording to the wishes of the user. Sew
eral coins can be dropped in at one
time, insuring several hours use of
the fan.
