10. How long has shorthand
been known?
A. From references made to skilled
writers in ancient literature, the in
ference is drawn that shorthand was
known long before the Christian era
The first authentic knowledge of the
art dates to the first century before
Christ. The pioneer of Roman short
hand was Marcus Fullius Trio, sec
rotary and librarian to Cicero, who
devised a system which was little
more than list of authorizations
Later it was improved to such an
extent that reporters of the time
could keep pace with the speakers
by writing in relays. The system OF
the Latins fell into disuse betweenN
modern stenography dates from 1888.
So! Whence did the saying
"thin as rail- originate?
A. The saying thin as rail- does
not refer to fence rail, as is COM
monty supposed, but to the bird
there are several species in this
country, live in marshes, and have
extremely compressed bodies so that
they may thread their way between
reeds and rushes.
90. How can I keep cider from
turning into vinegar?
A. Cider cannot be kept success
fully except in a cool cellar. If thea
cider is made in cold weather, and
is kept in temperature not abovez
45 degrees r. acetic acid organismss
will not develop, and fermentation
will be slow. The cider will not be-
come hard for from four to six
| weeks. To make good cider 1t must
be fermented at low temperature.
100. How did the cup which isz
the prize in the big yacht race come
to be called Americas cup" If 1t
came first from Engl1:Td?
A. In 1851 an American schooner
called the America" was visiting ins
English waters at the time of the
Royal Yacht squadron races. ThisE
vessel entered the regatta and sailed
without time allowance around the
first out of a large fleet of vessels.
She was awarded the prize of cup
valued at $500. The owner took this
cup to the New York Yacht club to
establish a perpetual challenge tro-
ply for competition between yachts
Of the different countries. Therefore
the cup became known as Americas
cup"

Captain Moffit, Of the Los Angeles

many trails.
This city's bank robberies total

are in prison or dead. One man who
got away was traced to enlistment
in the Canadian army and it was es-
tablished he paid the supreme PEN

Not all cities have a perfect rec

the percentage is so high the job is
regarded the most dangerous for
thieves.

HOOVER MAY NOT
PLEASE FARMERS
Continued From Page y

There were three possible mar
kets. First. the great market af-
fOrded by the grain exchanges of
the country. So long as it was
open, a farmer could sell there in
competition with all other farmers
and could at the same time have
the benefit OF the world bidding
for his grain.
Mr.. Hoover compelled all grain
dealers to take out licenses. He
did not say to them, as the law
contemplated, You must not prof.
teer; you must not corner the mar
ket. You must let these grains
go on their ultimate destination as
rapidly and unterruptedly as pos
sible" thus carrying out the prin-
ciple for which the law was enact
ed. He got some of the biggest
gain gamblers in the United States
on his board, and then said to the
grain buyers. IF you pay penny
more for wheat than | have fixed,
| will forfeit your license and de-
strOy your business and ruin you"
OF course, he simply said, we will
forfeit your license" but it would
spell ruin. Thus, the farmer if he
sold to the grain dealer, was COM
PEELED to take the price that Mr
Hoover fixed and not the price set
in the world market. 1t was dOmi-
mated by Mr.. Hoover, and the price
again was fixed So the power to
license, which was intended by the
Lawmakers only for the purpose of
protesting the country against the
men who organized combinations
in restraint of trade was wrongfully
employed by Mr.. Hoover for the
purpose of fixing the price of all
the grain.-The Denver Field and

Service.
One of the purposes of the Ameri-
can institutions is served when
they make possible q career such
as that of Edward P. Ripley Of the
Santa Fe system. who died the
other day. A recent biographical
sketch calls attention to the fact
that Mr.. Ripley made his own way
on merit from the day when as Q
boy out Of high school he entered
the traffic department OF the
Pennsylvania railroad in Boston
as clerk. down to his great
achievement in recognizing the
bankrupt Santa Fe system and
converting it into highly success
full property.
Z There was nothing shoddy or ACCT
dental about Mr.. Ripley and his
success. He won the reward of
an hOnOred name and the satisfac-
tion OF his conscience by great SER
vice through intelligent, hard work.
There is q lesson in his life for
every American boy, no matter
what his station. Not every boy
has the ability to become Ripley
But there Is no way of finding out
without trying the Ripley method
of work. That method may not
produce results as brilliant as it
did in Ripley's case. But it will
produce behind it, results worth
while from every point of view.
"Old stuff" you say. "A man can't

You won't get anywhere"
