In education, road building, sanitation

when we economize.

states from entirely understanding her.
Neither nation has the funds TO put into

fright now there is proposed tax
on everything that is bought. not just
on luxuries, but proportionate tax on
pins and needles, chairs, coffee and
everything else that stores carry. This

Besides working to have the naval
appropriation limited. the women's COM

and Congress take steps to call a con-
ference of the powers TO discuss prac-
tical means of disarmament. This,
many statesmen would demand as the
step TO be taken before we cut down the
naval building program. The hearings
on disarmament before the House
naval committee in January strongly
indicated this attitude. General Bliss,

When Sir Philip Gibbs was asked his

HOW PUEBLO DEALER
HOLDS LOCAL TRADE
Story Valuable BY Way OF Suegestio1
To Tire Men In Keeping The
Business At Homo

The following article entitled. IAN
Example OF Retail Mail Order Deal
ing was published by ]. NJ. Bright.
Miller dealer in Keyser, West Nir-
.ginia:
Down in a certain town the other
day a man went into a store to buy
tube. He saw the kind he wanted and
asked the price. 1t was $500. the
dealer said.
| Good gracious said the man. Il can
get the same thing from a mail-order
house for $2.S2."
| That's less than 1t costs me-" said
the dealer. but I'll sell It on the same
terms as the mail-order house just the
same"
"Ali right said the customer. You
can send 1t along and charge 1t to my
account
Not on your life," the dealer replied.
NO charge accounts You can't do
business with the ntail-order house
that way. Fork over the cash"
| The customer handed over the cash
Now two cents for postage and five
cents for money order
| What"
Certainly you have to eend a letter
and money order to the mail-order
house, you know.
| The customer .inwardly raving, kept
to his agreement and paid the seven
cents.
Now thirty-hve cents expressage.
We'll, III be- he said, but paid it

I'll take it home for myself and be rid
of this foolery.'

think you are? You're not in Chicago.

whereupon he placed the tube on the
shelf and put the money in his cash
drawer.

One Of the interesting side lights
to the present prohibition enforcement
ordered by the City Commissioners
with the fifty dollar reward for each
trial conviction, is the letters that
come to the City Hall. some of them
signed. others anonymous, that inform
the City officials where they can To-
cate stills or parties who are selling
bootleg.
As one of the Commissioners was
about to open a letter yesterday. he
made the remark that he would bet

After the letter opened the Commits
sioner had guessed correctly. as 1t
proved to be an anonymous letter
giving the information of some bad
character who had openly threatened
to do harm to anyone who betrayed
him According to the letter, the un-
dersigned writer stated that as the
man he was squealing on was a bad
man he did not dare sign his name
This also brings UP the question whe-
thcr the writer knew he was sacrific-
ing his $50 reward.
The contents OF several letters re-
ceived by the City Commissioners were

that many have been received all

REASON FOR COLORED EGGS
Mother Nature Painted Them That
They Might Be Preserved From
Their Natural Enemies.

Nature equips all living things with
enemies
The larger animals are able by rea-
son of their strength, to give a good
account of themselves in combat. Birds
and many of the smaller animals de-
pend upon the rapidity of their move
ments- But there is another effective
means of self-preservation known as
protective coloraion."
Snakes and many varieties Of fish
form an excellent illustration. Their
scales are so colored that they blend
with the surrounding rocks or the shad
oWs If the water. making them al
most invisible to the eye In fact. 1t
Is only when one Of these protective
Il colorad animals moves that its pres
ence is apparent
The same principle is responsible
for the different colors of birds eggs
The mother bird Is unable 70 fight
aggresSively. so she has to seek refuge
in flight. During the time she is
away from the nest. either seeking
safety from her enemies or loollirs
for food, the eggs must be protected
in some manner. 1t IS for this reason
that they are colored to blend with
the surroundings in which they are
laid-some Of them spotted because
they are laid in the sand or among
pebbles, others buf-colored or green
to match the material of the nest.

SAILORS MADE FIRST GLASS
According to Story Of Its Discovery,
1t Was Entirely the Result
Of Chance.

One of the most useful materials In
the world Is glass 1t is not only a
domestic necessity, but @ scientific es
sential. The development of chemistry
would have been far more labor1us
process had it not been for the many
utensils manufactured from glass. So
numerous and varied are its uses that
one can hardly conceive Of present
day civilization without this product.
Yet the discovery of this valuable ma
terial was what might be termed an
accident, Floyd W Parsons writes in
the Saturday Evening Post.
AS the story runs, a merchant ship
laden with natron, brittle white car
Donate of sodium, was driven ashore at
the mouth Of the River Belus in Phe
nfcia. The crew prepared their foo
on the beach, supporting their kettles
on piles made up Of Jumps of the ma
iron. Later the sailors were amazed
to discover transparent masses Of
stone among the cinders Of their fires
The heat had melted the soda and the
slliceous sand together, with the result
that a crude variety of glass was
formed. If the early records are cor,
rect the art Of glass manufacture was
exclusively an industry of the Phenici-
ans. One reason for crediting this
statement is the fact that the ingredi-
ents of glass-natron, sand and fuel
were abundant upon the coast of
Phenicia.

GREAT TUN or HEIDELBERG
Constructed in the Middle Ages, Mon
ster Receptacle Held s25 Hoas-
heads OF Wine.

The construction Of the great tun Of
Heidelberg, IN the rastle Of the Princes
P&latine of the Rhine. was begun In
15S9 and was not finished until more
than two years later
It was composed Of beams twenty
seven feet long and had a diameter Of
eighteen feet The iron hopping was
100 pounds IN weight and the cost,
figured in our money, was nearly
$4,000. 1t could hold 52s hogsheads
and the value at that time Of the wine
It contained was In the neighborhood
Of $1,000.
When the cellarer drew wine out OF
the cask he assembled several fights OF
wooden stairs leading TO the top
a out the middle was bunghole, into
which was inserted an instrument
made IN the form Of a spout with
which the wine was drawn up and
placed In a vessel provided for the
purpose.
There was another tun built, evident
ly succeeding the one tust described
in 1751; this was Sc feet long and q
feet high, with q capacity Of 800 hogs
heads, or 2s3, 200 bottles This cash
has not been IN use since the latter

There is a barber in London, Eng.
land, with nice taste for figuring, and
he has computed the number of razor
strokes that go to a clean shave. He
offers to prove the general correctness
of his count on any customer. "Yor
shall keep the count yourself, sir. ~
says he.
The first man counted $50 strokes
made by the barber. Much too low,
sir" said the barber. Put knowing
you were counting L couldn't help tax
ing longer strokes. It takes more, sir,
usually"
His own computation is that, on an
average, 1t takes 200 strokes to shave
a man. Now if he shayes so many per
sons a day, so many days a week, how
many times does the barber use his
razor a week?"
hundreds of thousands, sir" says
the barber. Pinned to something more
exact. he claimed 2S9,oOO for one week.
