OLD LAW ON STATUTE BOOKS
II British Judges Were Guided by 1t
There Would Be Some Confusion
in the "lsIand Empire"

Many curious acts of parliament
still remain on the statute book, re-
marks the London Daily Mail. Every
little while these appear in the courts,
but as the British judges decide cases
more by the public interest than by
the law they cause very little trouble.
Three acts have been quoted this
week. One referred to an act OF
George H., which allowed the land
lord to charge a tenant he wished
to leave his premises double rent.
The plaintiff claimed, but lost his
case.
Another was claim by the admir-
atty for freight on bullion carried
from South Africa on warship. This
claim was decided in favor of the
bankers. who got their freight free
owing to an act that was passed in
1919 for the purpose of stopping the
abuse of the privilege of conveying
bullion in kings ships by the COM
mercial community.
An act that is still enforced is one
Of James l., dated 1924, a Scottish
statute. 1t reads:
If any mine of gold or silver be
found In any lords lands of the realm
and it may be proved that, three half.
pennies Of silver may be fined out OF
the pound of lead, the lords of par
lament consent that such mine may
be the kings, as is usual Of other
realms"

Britain EInhtInn Rats

In England, where the scarcity of
food during the war was much more
serious matter than in this country,
they have been giving much more at
tentiOn to measures to prevent the
depredations of rats, and a concrete
corn crib is coming into general use
throughout great Britain, which will
keep the grain in good condition and
at the same time keep the rats out.
The interior of the crib is built of
concrete blocks with holes in them for
ventilation of the building. The floor
is of solid concrete, and on the sides
where the blocks have openings the
inside of the structure Is covered with
mesh. The trench In the center of the
floor is built so that the extension
feeder of the corn shelter can be
placed In it when Smelling out the crib.
Short pieces of board are laid over
this trench, and are removed as fast
as the corn can be shelled. This
trench is a labor-saving feature of
this corn crib. 1t has been found by
the modern farmer that concrete is
the only effective way of fighting rats.

CHANCES IN GAME OF LIFE
Must Be Winners and Losers, Since 1t
Is Sure All Cannot Hold
Equal Cards.

Life is like game of cards. Some
must win. Some must lose. It all de-
ponds upon the player and on the
gambling chances that may favor or
disappoint him.
All have the same gambling chance,
so the players ability really deter
mines whether he shall be loser or
winner. Assiduity, persistence, prac-
tice and patience all help to make him
winner, and the lack of these loser
Those who win make their gains at
the expense of those who lose. There
must always be winners and losers,
the winners rejoicing and the losers
disappointed, complaining and jealous
of the winners.
How much like. the experience of ev-
'eryday life! Some succeed because of
their diligence. earnestness and cease
less ambition, others lose because Of
the lack of these whining qualities.
Some live in well-deserved ease and
comfort on the proceeds of their sue
cess, others in discomfort, proclaiming
that they suffer from injustice.
Everybody must play the game of
life, and. like the game OF cards, In
the end every gamester must be a
loser. Only the Grim Reaper Is sure to
be the winner In the end.-Johh A.

Ralzae,s Home Is Restored.

The home Of the famous French
author, Honore de Balzac, In the Rue
Raynouard at Passy has been reopened
as an artists center. The house had
been sadly neglected, but has been re-
stored to present the appearance 1t
had In Balzac's time, with its vestibule
painted blue and the original oak carv-
ings and dark red tapestries decorating
the apartment where Balzac wrote his
masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee-pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was a mighty drinker OF coffee. Old
woodcuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have beer. replanted
there.
In one room there is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when importunate creditors

Refjc Of Old Rome,

During blowing operations In field
near the village of Bratton, Westbury,
Wiltshire, Eng, the pillow struck what
proved to be the cover of leaden cof-
fin. The coffin has been examined by
B. II. Darlington, the curator of the
Willis Archaeological museum, who
states that the coffin, without doubt,
belongs to the period OF the Roman
occupation. says the London Times.
The place where II was found is about
a mile from the site of large Romano
British village. The coffin Is 8 feet 8
inches IN length Its width varies from
l foot q inches to foot inches and
Its depth Il / foot INCHES. Large
iron nails Az inches long indicate that
when inferred it had wooden outer
covering. but that has persisted, as
have the bones inferred, except the leg
bones. the pelvis and the lower Jaw
there is no trace of the skull. Two
pieces of lead form the bottom of the
coffin, but the cover is one piece.

LIVE IN PRACTICAL SLAVERY
Esthonians Little Better Than serfs
to the Germans, Who Own Nine
Tenths of Land.

Esthonians, or Esths, who have re-
pulsed repeated attacks from the Boil.
sheviki, and recently drove force I'M
der Trotzky to ignominious flight, are
described by DR.. Edwin A. Grosvenor
In National Geographic society bull
letin as follows:
The Esths are a Finno- Ugrian
people, once savage and adventurous,
terrifying the Baltic with their piracy,
constantly attacking and attacked by
the Danes and Swedes. Their final
subsection by the Brothers of the
Sword and their enforced acceptance
of Christianity crushed their spirit
and rendered them serfs to the Ger
man masters.
The Esths Outnumber the Germans
in the old province of Esthonia 20 to
L; yet nine-tenths of all the land is
held by Germans.
In the former province of Livonia
the Esths constitute nearly half the
population, while the Germans are
less than one-fifteenth. There the land
is divided into estates averaging over
ten thousand acres In extent, none
owned by an Esth or Lett but almost
Invariably by German.
The Russian government at times
endeavored by agrarian laws to allie
viate the condition Of the peasant.
Such efforts failed against the stolid
resistance of the great proprietors.
The Esths have chung devotedly to
their national language, the sole in
heritance from their past. They love
poetry and song. Their physical char
acteristics are Finnic; their faces
short, broad, beardless; their fore
heads low, mouths small, arms long,
legs short. Despite their extreme pow

HOW ANClENTS KEPT BOOKS
Development Of Comprehensive Sys-
TEN Necessary to Merchant and
Wage Garner.

4 Accountancy, which is the science Of
systematizing business, has a history
that runs back at least 1000 years.
Very early in the development Of ma
tons 1t was found that In commerce,
as well as in the affairs of the state.
] systematic and careful account keep
ing were Indispensable. These sys-
tens were at first crude and laborious,
but they at least kept the finances of
! the nation and the marts OF trade from
being chaotic.
| The invention Of double entry book
keeping early In the fifth century by
the merchants and bankers of Venice
gave to the commerce Of Europe an
/ invaluable trade instrument and one
| without which the great commercial
enterprises of the later centuries could
hardly have existed, according to
Thrift. And so it has been down to
the present time; there has been a
parallel progress between the accom-
plishments of commerce and the sci
ence of accounting, and 1t is known
to every man In business that the
former could not continue without the
latter. Even the most unbusinesslike
people know this much, and we can
hardly imagine any one silly enough
to attempt to carry on any kind Of
business enterprise without keeping
books.
Bookkeeping, as a formal subject Of
study, is taught in most of the public
and private schools of this country but
1t is only that form Of bookkeeping
that applies to the affairs Of the mer-
chant or the shopkeeper The public
has yet to learn that bookkeeping is
quite as necessary to the prosperity OF
the wage worker, the salaried man, the
farmer. and the housekeeper, as 1t is
to the shopkeeper, the merchant or the
manufacturer.
