my heart registers its protest against unhtness

entreats from this pulpit for thoughtful and

thing this side heaven.
A few days ago The Times commented
sditorially upon the plan Of member
of the Michigan legislature 10 cut down
the number of divorces by the prevention
of hasty marriages.
This the legislator says could be done
by a law providing that 80 days elapse
between the time Of application for a
marriage license and the issuing of the
license, and publication meantime of the
bans.
We expressed the opinion that the plan
would not have the desired effect be-
cause il would be an easy matter for the
contracting parties to HE themselves to
another state
We attempted to show that the way
to prevent hasty marriages would be to
make il a harder matter TO secure di-
vorce.
The editorial interested the Rev. w. II.
Wray Boyle. of the Woodward ave. Pres
byterian church, who wrote to us, inclos-
ing the above experience and lesson.

available.
While for many years there has
been talk Of giving Alden ge.iciL.
electric plant, and plans have been
definitely made to that end. the pres
ent outlook is not particularly en-
couraging. Accordingly, there would
be a good market there for fans that
could be operated without electricity,
such, for instance, as those burning
spirits of kerosene to generate power,
IL they were properly and energetic
ally introduced. A fan of that sort
for this market should not be too
expensive, altho there would be some
sale even for fairly expensive ap-
paratus. These fans, II satisfactory.
could be sold to the European popu-
Ia ton with but little effort The ma
tives would also be good customers,
the proportion of them becoming
purchasers depending upon the price
at which they could be sold. A few
individuals have imported fans Of
this sort from India and Europe, but
there is no general use Of them, and

chant has seriously attempted their

HAVE NO ELECTRIC FANS
Coolies Furnish Relief In Torrid
Country.


Electric current for fans is not gen.
orally available in Alden. Arabia and
the old fashioned punkha system is
the only relief from the almost un-
bearable heat and closeness Of the at
mosphere which prevails at certain
seasons Of the year, says the Scien-
tific American. A punkha is large
ceiling fan operated by coolie who
pulls a rope attached to 1t. This rope
generally passes over a small pulley
thru a hole in the wall. so that the
coolie may work unseen by those in
the room to be ventilated. Often a
series of fans is operated by one coolie,
this system prevailing in hotels. clubs
and other places where there Is a
large space to be cooled. The actual
cooling effect Is usually considered
more satisfactory than that OF an
electrically operated fan in the re-
spect that the air currents are more
gentle and much more evenly dis
tributed. A punkha-walla, as the
coolie who operates 1t is called, re-
ceives in Alden an average wage Of
$3.50 per month Ter working from
eight to nine hours a day. However,
during the hot season when II Is de-
sirable to have the punkha In opera
ton night and day force of three
punkha- -wallas, working eight hours
each, is necessary. and the punkha
becomes somewhat expensive. Fur
thermore. such human labor is obvi-
ously neither easily regulated nor de-
pendable In the sense that machine

A TRAVELLING REFRIGERATOR
An Ice Cream Truck That Carries Its
Own Ice.

A motor truck that is fed ice and
salt in much the same way as loco
motive is fed coal is described in the
Popular Science Monthly and the
Literary Digest. The truck is to be
employed in delivering ice cream at
retail and the body used is of an en-
tirely new type. having separa. COM
.partments for the cream In cans for
the mixing ice and for the salt. The
compartment nearest the drivers seat
carries eighteen Ice cream cans
packed in ice and salt In the usual
manner The ice compartment, which
extends at the rear to point about
one foot from the ground. has slop-
ing false bottom, which permits tho
ice to move to the rear by gravity
while the truck is in motion. A hinged
door enables the ice to be taken out
with a shovel. The writer goes on to
tell us:
"At the right rear side of the ice
there is another smaller
one extending TO the top and slightly
less than half the width. Into this
the salt Is poured thru an opening in
the top. 1t has a false bottom and a
discharge pipe at the bottom and a
door at the rear by which the salt can
be taken out.
Both ice cream compartment and
that for the cracked ice have folding
covers. those on the latter being ar
ranged to be swung up to a vertical
position and used in conjunction with
removable metal sides to form a box
in which additional ice can be carried
on hot days or long routes. Both COM
partments are cork-insulated.
