SCULPTOR FOUND IN ERROR
Stonemason Had to BE Called In to
Shave the Bust Of John How
ard Payne.

'The man who never had q home"
meaning John Howard Payne, of
course also never had beard.
When the author of Home, Sweet
Home" had died In Tunis and his body
was being brought back at the ex-
pense of w. w. Corcoran the news
papers broke out all over in beau
tiful something about "the man who
never had a home and was coming
home at last And when Mr.. Cor
coran had erected a monument at the
poets grave in Oak Hill, about all
Washington attended the dedication
ceremonies, either as privileged spec
tators inside the cemetery or just
plain people packed against the rail-
ings on the street side-which, gen.
orally speaking, folks, is good place
to be, so far as graveyards are con-
cerned-but, anyhow:
The bust of Payne that topped the
marble shaft showed a dreamy face
bearded like unto the gentleman of
western literature usually mentioned
as q ''pard." And everybody said
what manly man he must have been,
but-you know how things get around
after the impressive ceremonies
were over-say about two weeks--the
town become aware that the late Mr..
Payne never wore beard.
And the next thing that happened:
he .yas shaved by stonemason.-

Ancient Oath Found.

The Bucks County (Pa.) Historical
society has come into the possession
Of aSwell preserved manuscript copy
of an oath of allegiance and renuncia-
tion taken by aliens in this country
about 1870. The allegiance is sworn
to George III, acclaimed as ruler of
Great Britain.
The oath was administered about
the time that many Germans and
Swiss were emigrating to this country
and an act was adopted in 1927 set
ting forth that all aliens must take
oath Of allegiance to King George.
The oath was administered to all
males over sixteen years as soon after
their arrival in this country as pos
sible.
The manuscript which The histori-
cal society has is that of the oath
taken by George Kinkner of South
amptOn township in 173O.-Nyack
Evening Journal.

Aviation and the Compass.

Many aviators firmly believe that
there are magnetic currents or dis
turbances in the upper air which
affect the compass and make 1t "go
crazy" Long experiments and care
full investigation, however, seem to
prove conclusiyely that It is not the
compass, but the plane which moves
distractedly, In the first place, and
that the apparent insanity of the COM
pass is due to these movements and
the vertical magnetic component OF the
governing force. The maddest OF
compasses, the most contradictory
and insane of cards, will steady
down to q quiet behavior once the
plane is on a straight, level course for
period Of time greater than the Pc
riod Of the compass.

Early Diving Apparatus.

The first record Of the use of an
apparatus in diving. says q writer In
the Christian Science Monitor, is when
Alexander the Great made a descent
In machine which kept him dry and
allowed him to obtain air from res
erv0ir. Pliny writes about divers carry
ing one end Of leather pipe between
their teeth. while the upper end was
attached to q floating bladder, but 1t
was not until 1919 that Augustus Siebe
constructed an apparatus supplied with
compressed air by means of hand
pump, as today. His dress was an
open one, with the air entering the
top Of the helmet and escaping under
its edge, SO that II the diver stopped
the helmet became flooded, and was
consequently dangerous. In 1880, how
ever, he designed the closed dress, as
now used. with several important i'm
provements.

little GOOD IN ARGUMENT
Many Men Of Note Have Set II Down
as Useless Form OF
Bickering.

Lord Fisher, not arguing, of course,
with his opponents, but just telling
them, renewed discussion with the
remark: ut is only fools who argue"
Something Of the sort has been said
before. In Plutarch you find:
"Euripides was wont to say, silence
was In answer to a wise man; but we
seem to have greater occasion for 1t In
our dealings with fools and unreason-
able persons, for men of breeding and
good sense will be satisfied with reason
and fair words"
Jonathan Swift wrote:
Argument, as usually managed, Is
the worst sort of conversation, as In
books It is generally the worst sort OF
reading"
James Russell Lowell gave this adj
vice:
There is no good in argument with
the inevitable. The only argument
available with an east wind is to put
on your overcOat."
In Samuel Buffers Notebook, which
holds much common sense, Is an entry
to the point:
Argument is general waste Of time
and trouble. 1t is better to present
ones own opinion, and leave 1t to
stick or no, as it may happen. If
sound 1t will probably In the end
stick, and that Is the main thing"
If you are still fool enough to argue
don't let the other fellow do so. Re-
member Mr.. GOdkin's penetrating
warning that ''hearing both sides con-
fuses the mind"

President, is considering demands
from the railroad employees for
another increase in wages which
would amount to another billion
dollars year in the railroad pay
rolls.
The Railroad Brotherhoods say
that this is necessary in order that
the wage worker can catch up with
the increased cost of living.
But if the billion dollars increase
is granted then the railroads them
selves must have another billion
dollars. And when that occurs the
added transportation costs will sup
posedly affect the cost of living OF
the railroad men, and then they will
ask for other increases in their
wages.
OOutC VI tHC uOiC CouoSt FoSA'S
labor leaders like Warren S. Stone,
of the Brotherhood of Engineers,
have been trying to make their
radical colleagues see that the con-
tinuation of such vicious circle OF
increased wages, which naturally is
followed by increased prices to the
public to meet the wage increases,
can have no other effect than to con-
tinue to raise the cost of living.
Evidently the method to better
condition of things within the coun'
try must be met by the public itself.
Human being or new machinery
must effect increased production if
the old Z. S. A. is to get back onto

Before Needles and Thread.

Thorns and fish bones were used as
a means of fastening clothing long
before the discovery Of needles and
thread. Among the remains of the
lake dwellers Of central Europe have
been found great number Of pins,
some of bone and others Of bronze.
Some are quite fancy, having orna-
mental heads, while others are clum-
silly fashioned. Some have double
stems and few have been found
that were made exactly like the safety
pins Of today. Among Egyptian and
Greek ruins have been found many
specimens Of artistically made pins.
Ancient roman bronze pins and bone
hairpins, with fancy heads, have been
found at Pompeii. The Romans also
made very elaborate fbulae, similar to
the present day brooch.

The National Capital
By j. E. Jones.
The Vicious Circle

Advances in railroad wages grant
ed during the government operation
amounted to over ST. 900, 600, 600 a
year.
II is so, apparent that railroads
must be made to pay returns to their
owners the same as all other bust
ness enterprises that Congress IS
recognized that fact by passing q
law to compel the fixing of rates on
basis that will yield six per cent
dividends to investors in railroad
securities. The advances that have
already been made during Govern
ment operation have only been
sufficient to provide revenues to
meet the increased cost of materials
and coal used by the carriers. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
at the present time determining how
much increase in freight rates must
be granted to provide for the in
creased labor costs made under Gov
eminent administration. The rail-
roads estimate that the railroad
freight increase will need to average
% per cent over the country.
There you have the railroads try
ing to catch up with their fixed ex-
penses!
At the same time, the new Rail-
road Labor Board appointed by the

Divers IN Ancient History.

The earliest mention of diving is
made by Homer, about $50 b. c., in
the "Iiiad," when Patr0clus compares
the fall Of Hector's charioteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dides tells Of divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object Of impeding or injuring
the Grecian feet at the siege OF SYRIA
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save stone to carry them quickly 70
the bottom and to cling to for the
brief period, about two minutes, they
could stay below This is called nat
ural diving and Is still In use for col
lecting sponges and pearls at Ceylon
and in the Mediterranean.

Efficiency in Government
Quite number of the Presidential
candidates are predicating their
hopes for success on their arguments
for more efficient methods for the
conduct Of Government business.
Some Of them are explaining the
budget system, which is aplan
that was urged during the admins
tration of former President Taft,
who pointed out to unwilling Con-
crosses made up, of msjorities at
different times of both the Republic
can and Democratic parties, that a
budget system would determine the
exact needs of the Government,
thereby enabling Congress to pro-
vide funds enough for carrying on
the public business. 1t is urged
that the system now in operation
has resulted in countless Implications
of bureaus, and that many OF them
should be abolished. There is no
question but that this is the state OF
affairs in Washington; and if the
budget system would point its ac-
cusing finger at the different dupli-
cate organizations it would serve to
show the uselessness of many OF
them.
