A Hoosier Haircut.

Demas Coe, Richmond business
man and former auditoS of Wayne
county, has been trying to figure the
difference of an Indiana and a Chicago
haircut. He told the story after a busi-
ness trip to Chicago and says he no
longer enjoys going to a barber shop
in Chicago.
Previously to making the trip, Coe
went into Richmond shop and had a
shave and haircut by a barber regard
ed as expert as any in Richmond After
arriving in Chicago he went to a bar
Der for his shave the next day.
Don't you want haircut, too?"
asked the barber
Il just got one the other day." Coe
replied.
'In Indiana?" politely asked the bar
ber.
''Yes, why?" was Goes answer.
well, it looks like an Indiana hair
cut" was the barber's comment.
According to Goes own story he was
considerably wrought up" by the in
cident az he is a loyal resident of In
diana. When he told the story 20 his
barber in Richmond. the bap5e- was
considerably more indignant than Coe.

BOOK LOVERS In TRANSPORT
Expect Literary Treasures to Be Un-
earthed From the Volumes Stored
ar Constantinope.

Some of the books of Livy undoubt-
edly viii be found among the great
number of volumes ascertained TO be
stored in crypts under the public build
ings of ConStantinople, but will the
lost books of Liyy be found?
The report that the long-awaited dis
covery is about TO be made may rest
on no better foundation than the
vague impression of some uneducated
Turkish under official. And, indeed, in
the absence of any information what
ever, on the subject, what more natu-
raj conjecture than that the lost his
torical works will be restored TO the
world when the vast collection of an
cient books whose existence was pre-
viously unsuSpected come to be ex-
amined?
Of the 80 books of Livy preserved
to US out of 142, two are incomplete.
OF the other 107 books the summaries
remain, so that their contents are
known. Their full text probably would
not add SO much to the sum of knOwl-
eIScs bul their recovery lids bSSu lllG
dream of classicists for centuries. The
occasional discovery of even a frag-
ment in the Vatican or other libraries
has been a sensation for scholars.
These tons and tons of books, which
1t was supposed the Turks burned dur
ing their conquests, but which, it APP
pears. they took back TO their capital,
may increase stores of learning and
make more definite our knowledge of
particular men and particular periods.
1t is agreeable to think that forgot
ten authors of great merit and for
gotten works of undisputed value will
gain new recognition.
Ii the missing works of the Roman
historian are among the volumes fur
ther cause will be given for congratu-
lation over the Turkish downfall.-St.

ATHLETIC GOODS
A NECESSITY
We've got to stand tho tax this

cents for a 5o-cent glove and 30
cents for a quarter ball. But in
June congress meets again and
when they start changing that tar
schedule we want tho congressman
to remember that there is q big diff
ference between sporting goods and
athletic goods. Sporting goods are
a luxury and can afford to stand a
tax. but athletic goods are a necosi-
sity, Uncle Sam says so himself.
Tho i6 makers of sporting goods
in the United States sell about S12..
100000 worth every year and tho
10 per cent tax would be $1,000, 900.
This year the army and navy bill
will buy almost half OF what is made.
so Uncle Sam will pay that much Of
the tax back to himself. But a
dollar to a kid is bigger than q mil.
lion dollars to Uncle Sam.
You know what the Boston kids
said to Gen. Gage when he buttcd

BY HUGH s. FULLERTON

Us kids who play baseball, foot
ball. tennis or basketball have a
kick coming. Congress has soaked
a 10 per cent tax on every darned
thing we play with, excepting snow
balls. and last year tho tax either
was nothing on the majority Of
things or . per cent.
There are $4,000 uniformed kid
teams In the United States and this
tax X going 10 put us on the bum
for fair. Congress pulled an awful
boner. II thought 1t was taxing
rich sportsmen and the major
league ball clubs who could afford
it. Instead Of that 1t soaked US
kids who have a hard time scraping
up money to get balls anyhow.
The professional baseball clubs in
the United States don't buy the
goods. All Of them together buy
less than one-half Of 1 per cent Of
what Is made. and they get cheap
prices because they advertise the
stuff. Kids under IS buy more than
so per cent of what the manufac-
turers turn out. and 1t Is us they
soaked hard.

Difference Between Dawn
and Twilight; Ending and
Beginning of Phenomenon

Twilight is the diffused illumination
of the sky which Immediately precedes
sunrise and follows sunset. When the
sun sets below our horizon, we are
not at once plunged into the darkness
of night. There is an intermediate pc
riod of partial and slowly increasing
darkness which we call twilight. 1t Is
caused by the reflection Of the sunlight
by dust and particles Of water vapor
in the upper atmosphere. The same
phenomenon occurs just before sunrise
and, to distinguish it from the evening
twilight, is called dawn. Dawn begins
and twilight ends when the sun Is
about 10 degrees below the horizon.
and consequently their duration varies
with the latitude and with the season
Of the year. The higher the latitude
the smaller the angle at which the
suns path meets the horizon, and
hence the longer it takes the sun to
sink to distance Of Is degrees below
the horizon. In the tropics twilight
rarely lasts longer than 30 minutes,
while in the latitude Of north Scotland
it lasts so long that about midsummer
there are several nights on which 1t
fills the entire interval between sunset
and sunrise.

Paints Retard Fire, but
Give Little Protection

From tests made at the bureau Of
standards it appears that while prac-
tically all paint coatings have some
Understanding action, none of those
so far tested affords great protection.
All the samples in question were ma
terially damaged by application Of
flame for a few seconds. Both sodium
salicylate and whitewash rank COM
paratively high. These have the ad-
vantage of cheapness and can both be
used on the same surface. However,
according to a recent bulletin of the
bureau, no treatment Of wood after
erection can be expected to serve as
an effective fire protection, and the
use of such materials should not be
made an excuse for emitting any Of
the usual precautions against fire.

Overcoming Our
Failures
Encouragement is a Menace
to Happiness

There are times when nOtwithStand-
ng our efforts we do not seem to
make any Roadway with our ambiz
tons, says writer. We set high goals
for ourselves and we make the at
tempt to gain them, but even though
we plod perseveringly toward them we
seem to meet only with obstacles and
disappointments. Then it is that we
begin to feel that encouragement
which is bound to react to our I'M
doing unless we pull ourselves up
sharply. Life is not bed Of roses for
anyone, for all that we envy the ap-
parent ease and happiness Of some OF
those with whom we come in con-
tact. They too, have their trials and
their disappointments Of which we
know nothing, and who knows but
that they bravely hide their real feel
igns under show Of prosperity and
happiness? No one likes to wear his
heart upon his sleeve, and from the
proudest to the humblest, from the
richest to the poorest, there is ever
uppermost the determination to hide
the disappointment Of ambitions I'M
attained and hopes unfulfilled. 1t is
only through earnest effort that we
overcome our failures, whether they
affect our spiritual or our worldly de-
sires, and it is for this reason that
Encouragement is such menace to
happiness.
