Pipe Built Like a cornet

A tobacco pipe of unusual design has been invented by Warren Murray Baechtel of, Hagerstown, Md. Every pipe smoker knows that the longer the stem of his pipe. the cooler will be the smoke. Pipes with stems a few feet long have been in use in different countries for many years, but their awkward length precluded their use outside of the house. The inventor of the pipe circumvented the difficulty by coiling the stem of the pipe like the tube of cornet or signal horn. The coils are connected at their lower end to form a dripping chamber for receiv- ing the saliva which accumulates in the stem. Each coil has an independ- ent opening into the dripping chamber and screw cap at the bottom gives access to it for the removal of the accumulated saliva. The smoke, in passing through the coils of the stem, is drained several times of saliva and nicotine.

ALAS! FOR HUMAN REALITY
City Editor Was First Victim of He Own Stern Warning Against
 the "Booxe."

Speaking of booze: A few years ago, when Colorado was as wet as the great Sahara is not, the city editor of . Denver daily was having no inconsid- erable trouble in getting out a news paper the day following each pay night. Finally, in desperation, he is- sued the following mimeographed let ter for distribution to members of the staff:
 "Any member of this staff who Is found under the influence of liquor, or with any indication of having been drinking during working hours, will be: Fined for the first misdemeanor ; suspended for the second; fired un- conditionally for the third"
 These mimeographed letters were placed on the copy boys desk with in- structions to distribute them as soon as the staff appeared for work the next afternoon.
 On the following afternoon there | was heard a snort from the office of the society editor, and usually meek little red-haired beauty came dashing out of her room, waving a piece of paper in her hand. "Where's the city editor?" she demanded. "I'll see why ] I have to be insulted like this"
 The assistant city editor tried to calm her. But nothing would do but that she see the city editor himself.
 "Well," said the A. c. E., "it can't be done. He was stewed and we had to send him home."
 Needless to say, there was new city editor the next afternoon, and the staff gloatingly drank it's way to the days of prohibition.-Lorry A. Jacobs the Dallas Dispatch, in "Pep."

RICH AND DIDN'T KNOW IT
(Detroit News)


 Diamonds were first discovered in Brazil in 1725. But with their pock- cts full of diamonds, the discoverers were unaware for two years that they had made rich find.
 Miners washing for gold in the Min as Geraes district, picked up pretty pebbles from time to time and used them for counters in their card games. If they had no money they gambled for the pebbles, winning or losing, in blissfull ignorance, kings ransom Tn diamonds on the turn of card.
 A penniles adventurer drifted into the gold fields in 1727. Some of the miners staked him one evening to a handful of pebbles that he might sit in at a card game. The others played with listles interest, but the newcomer played with care and skill. He had seen rough diamonds in India and knew what the pebbles were. As re. suit, he won all the pebbles around the table. He did not remain in the fields to wash for gold, but next day hurried to Rio Janeiro and took shiI for Lisbon, where he sold his pebbles for fortune. x
 The rush of diamond hunters te Brazil which followed the sale in Lis bon carried back to the miners il Minas Geraes the first intimation tha' they had been rich for two years with out knowing it.

OPERA SUCCEEDS BULL FIGHT
Famous Arena in Mexico City VIII No Longer Be Scene of Brutal
 Slaughter.

The Teatro el Toro in Mexico City, once one of the most pretentious of bull fight arenas, Is now the home of grand opera as a result of President Oarranza's decree that bull fights should cease. Interspersing grand opera, dancers and concert artists have appeared in the arena, and 1t is stated that these various forms of amusement will be offered until some definite action Is taken as to the fu- ture of bull fighting.
 Vt was in this arena that what Is said to be one of the most remarkable Spectacles in the history of the sport was staged. A bull, El Bonito, known as one of the fiercest fighters, on being brought into the arena charged and killed three horses and injured as many men without being touched by the estoQue of any matador.
 As the bull stood believing def. ance and with no one apparently will ing to attack him. Miguel Ballo, a picador who was spectator in one of the boxes, leaped unarmed into the inclosure. In his outstretched hand he carried two Jumps of sugar, which he nonchalantly offered to the bull. The animal suddenly ceased Its believing and in few moments docilely licked the sugar from Ballo's hand. The latter returned unharmed to his box amid the plaudits of the spectators

WILLING TO BE PUT WISE
Private Ready to Absorb Any tnfor. nation Brioadier General Was
 Able to lmpart

In all the armies in the war disci- pline was lax in the air service. Army men are at loss to account for 1t, but without exception laxity was evil dent in all the air camps.
 The San Francisco Chronicle tells the following experience told by Brig. Gen. Benjamin Alvord when the latter was adjutant general of the A. B. F. The general had been sent by General Pershing to make an inspection about Colombey-les-Be -Belles.
 He walked around without getting the attention the doughbOys would show an officer of his rank. No one saluted him and no one noticed him. Once in while captain or a major would snap a salute, but not the en- listed men. It rather Tiled the general, who always scrupulously followed army regulations himself. Finally when a private passed him with a cigar in his mouth, and, although look ing right at him, failed to salute, the general thought it was time to call a halt.
 Come here, young fellow" he called. Say, what do you do in this camp when general officer shows up?"
 "All right. I'll bite, what is 1t. old top2" parried the private.

FABRICATION. FOR
 TRACTORS

It goes without saying, of course, that tractor must be operated cor rectly in order to secure efficient re. suits. It is just as essential that a high grade quality of lubricating oii of the correct grade exactly suited to the engine be used. But correct lub- rication means something more than this-the oil must be used in the right way.
 The tractor manufacturer builds an efficient power plant which is design ed to do certain work and do it econ omically. To insure this the manu- facturer does everything possible to educate the operator in the proper care and operation of the tractor.
 In the same way the Standard Oil Company issues literature on the cor rect fabrication of all kinds of trac- tors it maintains corps of exper- fenced fabrication Engineers in or der to study the fabrication needs of each type of tractor. The Company then recommends to the operator the correct grade of Zerolene for use in his machine if he is to get the most efficient service out of it. The Stan dard Oil Company is interested in sell ing correct fabrication, not merely in selling a gallon or a barrel of oil.
 Through it's long experience ,and vast resources, the Company has/pro- duced the exact grade of zerolene suited to each type of engine. Each grade will do the work for which it | is manufactured if used correctly in the engine for which it is manufactur- ed. In this way the Standard Oil Company is doing an invaluable ser vice in teaching the tractor operator the science of correct fabrication.

COST HIM MORE THAN FIFTY
Mir. Travers Had Not Properly Est- mated His Losses on That Little
 Fistic Encounter.

"I can't afford to lose $50 on prize fight" mourned Gelatine Trav- CTS an hour or so after the shock he received over the wires that fatal Friday afternoon. But you have lost it, haven't yOuT we asked, and he nodded disconsolately as he climbed aboard a homebound car. He must have felt a premonition as he mourned, for it is unlike Mir Travers to regret his losses; and when he ar rived home he broke the news to Mrs. Travers, along with the implied sug- gestion that little economy for the next few weeks would not come in amiss. Mrs. Travers said nothing in her most sympathetic manner, and the evenings conversation covered topics wholly foreign to prize fights. At the breakfast table next morning MT. Travers had no taste for anything the morning paper might have to say, and Mrs. Travers gained possession of it without the usual contest. Giancing through the paper rapidly Mrs. Ira vers tore out square section from page 2, and another from page II. Then at one of those unexpected mo ments every woman knows breakfast is replete with, said: "So you could lose $50 on prize fight. Well. well. Here is a sale have been awaiting for a long time. And strange to say, here is another just across the street -one is on suits and the other on gowns. And the strangest of all, we happen to have accounts at both those stores. Fifty dollars, you say, you lost? Was it an even fifty" And so 1t was that the breakfast dishes at the Travers' home went unwashed Saturday morning because Mrs. Ira vers was obliged to catch an early Jit- ney downtown and commence opera tions.-Kansas City Star.

ISSUES CALL FOR YOUNG
 MEN TO ENLIST IN NAVY

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has issued the following call for young men to enlist in the Navy:
 "Now that war time activities have ceased and it has become necessary to release men who enlisted in the Navy for the period of emergency only, an interesting program is, being Narranged whereby unusual advantages and opportunities for promotion will be given to those who become a part of the peace time Navy.
 Upon the cessation of hostilities, the Departments first concern was to bring about the release of the young men who came in the Navy to contribute their help in time of war, and by so doing, sacrificed from one to two years of their educational training, so as to permit them to re- turn to college. 1 strongly advise every young man who can possibly do so, to go to college and appeal to parents to encourage their sons to complete their education. If unable CO uO SO, uOWcNcT, l uTSc tAiot pnIShsS investigate, in behalf of their sons, the opportunities offered by the Navy to every ambitious young man, and sug. gest that they interview local Recruit ing Officers or communicate with the Navy Department.
 "Tb the average young man, one of the chief appeals of college life, apart from the education advantage, is the athletic training and resultant fun which forms a part of the life. That is a healthy, young American view. point. The athletic life is also one of the strongest allurements of the Navy. Each ship has it's athletic ac- tivities, and the inter-ship contests are events to which the men look forward with keen anticipation as do the Varsity enthusiasts.
 "The technical training offered by the Navy gives young men an oppor, tunity to become proficient in what. ever line they choose and at the same time lead the life consistent witt ideals of American manhood.
