ODDITIES OF GERMAN VOTE
Peculiar Sentiments Revealed in Re-
cent 5aIIoting for Members Of
Reichstag.

The total number of valid votes
cast at the recent election in Germany
for the 446 members of the reichstag
was 26,O17590. The votes that had
TO be thrown out ran into the thou
sands. One woman wrote on her bal
lot: II am voting for you major
ity socialists this time, but unless
can get Westphalian ham that is
made in Westphala from now on I'll
never do 1t again." Quite a few
votes were cast for the kaiser on the
ground that ''if elected the humilia-
ton would serve him right" One
man from Magdeburg deposited in
stead Of his ballot a five-mark note
without comment.
But the prize ballot came from Lin
den. 1t was a piece of wrapping pa
per- on which was written Isaiah II,
1924" The verses read: "Show the
things that are to come hereafter that
we may know that ye are gods; yea,
do good or do evil, that we may be
dismayed and behold it together. Be
hold, We are Of nothing and your work
of naught; an abomination is he that
chooseth you"

The Circus.

The clowns disport themselves as Of
yOre. The band plays It's tuneful
music. Acrobats swing high on shining
trapeZes. The elephants go through
their penderous moves. The seals flap
their way to children's hearts. All Is
the same as twenty years ago-the
circus does not change.
But with the passing of the years,
the effect has changed. The trappings
seem less bright Their tawdry tlnsel
no longer seems pure gold. The quaint
ness of exotic cloaks no longer trans
ports the mind to faraway lands. The
acrobats seem much the same as those
the daily stage brings us. The ele-
plants, for all their heavy training,
seem but, commonplace. Even the
clowns seem less funny than In days
gone by. Time has passed, indeed
The circus does not change. But we,
feeling the heavy hand of passing
time, have changed No longer do we
feel as children. Through the glamor,
we see the sadness. Forsooth, since
our childhood days we have progress

Judges, are becoming an indication
that the wearer earns az least $40
Il month. American socks are well
thought of. as are American soaps,
bur more socks and soaps from Amer
lea can be sold in Sumatra If the
American dealers in these commodi-
ties will give more thought to local
taste in decorating the boxes or wrap
pers in which they go on sale in the
bazuars These buyers in Sumatra,
like their soaps and socks done up in
bright colored containers; in fact,
they are inclined to judge the con-
tents by the beauty, from their point
of view, of the box. The picture of
an American manufacturing plant
leaves them cold, nor do they care
for a wrapper decorated with land
scape in colOrs. Particularly in the
matter Of hosiery, they like the box
decorated with some brightly colOred
picture which catches the eye and APP
peals to the imagination by its thu
man interest" One judges that 1t
would be good policy for American
dealers In soaps and socks to discard
their present containers and employ
some of the artists who make covers
for the popular magazines to design
and paint them new ones particularly
for the Sumatra market.-Christian
