Only Way to Handle Liquor.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 81
Prosecution by the federal agents OF a
well known Westfield druggist and West
Springfield doctor on the charge OF fill
ing and writing out liquor prescriptions
other than the federal blanks has caused
a big furry in this city among doctors
and druggists and scores of applications
are being filed with the Boston revenue
offices for the federal blanks.
Local druggists say that the only way
for Uncle Sam to take care of the liquor
prescriptions properly is through estab-
lishment of federal dispensaries.

Words and Music.

The value of words is going up, at least in Rouen. There the courts have decided that the artistic values of the words and music of a poem are equal. At present in the United States and Canada the writer of the words of song gets only . pittanee Of the royalties or . small sum out right at the start. In England many of the most popular ballads have brought their writers no more than two or three guineas, while the com poser goes on cashing his royalty cheeks for years. What measure pub fishers apply to the two arts thus combined to make words so much hess valuable than music is rather hard ts understand. Verse writers might well send little gold medal to the just minded citizens of Rouen who have ruled it false one.

INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER

The Bsbylonians' csduceus, which ss the insignia shows todsy-two snakes entwined with wings at the top of the staff-occurs in Hittite remains. It stands for sn actual serpent god, Mn gishzida, who ss the special messenger ef Ishtsr, was the awakener of life in the springtime, and the Mesopotsmian prototype of the Greek Hermes. The Romans had special functionary, the caducestor. who was . sort of peace commissioner, The caduceus was used sn the title pages of books published by the famous medical printer, Fro benius in 1400 to 1927.

FISH LIAR WORKS OVERTIME
ring That Is Challenge ts the imaginative

That is the worst of those fish sto- ries. Somebody always comes along with a better one.
 Recently the Evening News told the V. A. D.'s story of the frozen fsh that came to life in the cooking pot. Then correspondent-a naval officer, 1t should be said-easily puts that to shame.
 An interesting experiment was tried some little time age" he writes to us. with an ordinary herring.
 "The fish was put into large bowl of salt water and every day small quantity of water was removed and an equal quantity of fresh was sub- stituted until eventually the Ash lived and thrived in purely fresh water.
 'The owner was so pleased with the success of his experiment that he then tried removing a very small quantity of water daily until the bowl was empty, and found that. the herring did excellently. entirely without water. and as he was go lively In the empty bowl he had to put him in cage.
 Here he lived happily. hopping from perch to perch just like bird, until one day some sudden noise star tied him and he fell into his water trough and-was drowned!"

GOT INSPIRATION AT PIANO
immortal Melodies Evolved by Masters While Their Fingers "Wandere@
 Idly Over the Keys"

A story is told of MendelSsohn to the effect that the charming arpeggio figure in the Spring song of his Song Without Words" came to him on a day when he played with his children at the piano, and allowed them to catch his hands, as they wandered over the keys; and 1t is a fact that many of our most beautiful musical productions owe their origin to extem- porizing on the piano.
 This is not to be wondered at for many of our greatest musicians have poured out their hearts deepest feel ings as their fingers have fitted, in desultory fashion, over the keys, pro ducing corresponding notes and chords to their ever-changing moods; finding st the keyboard vent for their in- most thoughts and desires, often meet ing with that triumphant response that time can never diminish.
 We can see in the works of Chopin and Schumann a proof that in the plano is the origin of many of their most beautiful productions, while in the great symphonies of the old mas ters their shape, form, and color have been gained at the piano where their fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys"
 This is not SO hard to understand when we consider that the method of composing melody is, in essence. but the picking out and assimilating some melodic tune to which the harmony is sfterward added. From this primitive instinct is ultimately produced the i'm mortal tone pictures of the great nu- sicianS.

AEROTYPE PRINCIPLES 1
SAVED COLE WEIGHT


By adapting aerotype principles of
engineering to its Aero Eight models
the Cole Motor Car company has sue
cessfully solved the problem OF OBJ
tanning abundant strength without
bulky weight
Only the proper synchronization of
all units such as is found in the air
plane made this achievement of Coles
possible. Weighing but $500 pounds.
the Eight is possessed of the
strength and stamina of a sea-plane.
Its perfect balance enables it to ad-
here to the road under all conditions
and at high speeds. At the same time
this balance contributes materially to
its economic operation and its uniform
efficiency
In the Aero Eight the sensation Of
speed is reduced by half. Racing
along at sixty miles an hour, this car
seems to be travelling at the rate of
thirty miles an hour; at forty miles it
seems to be going but twenty, and at
lower speeds it moves so smoothly
that the motion is hardly preceptible.
This May be traced to the elimination
of the annoying side-sway and to the
shock absorbing qualities of the me-
chanically perfect frame.
The swift pickup of the Aero-Eight
is a develation to those riding in 1t and
a source of keen satisfaction From q
standing start the Aero Eight will ac-
ceIerate to fifty miles an hour more
rapidly than any other car so far otfi-
cially tested. Particularly in these
