When Kissing Was Illegal.

Laws against kissing still exist in
America, which produces most of the
films from which the japanese cen
sors last year cut out 100000 feet of
kissing scenes, observes London Tit
Bits.
Not many years ago student OF
Yale university and his sweetheart
were arrested for the crime of kissing
in a Boston restaurant. They We're
sentenced to 10 days imprisonment
the magistrate relying on one of the
blue laws" passed in the Seventeenth
century, when Massachusetts was a
British colony.
Under these laws many men were
fined or put in the stocks for kissing
their wives in public, such conduct be-
ing penalized as "lewd and unseemly
behavior"
The only measure of this kind ever
enforced in England was of a tenn
porary nature. In 1889 an act of par
lament was passed prohibiting kiss
ing, owing to the pestilence raging
over England and France.

Obesity Undesirable.

Are you fat? Be on your guard II
you are. Doctor Joslin Of Boston has
gathered striking statistics that show
an undeniable association Of obesity
and diabetes, the condition in which
sugar, the most common Of food fuels.
is not properly metabolized or stored
in the body. There are In this country
alone more than half million dia-
betics. "The penalty Of taking too
much alcohol Is well known, and a
drunkard is looked upon with pity or
contempt" says Doctor Joslin. Rare
ly, persons who become fat deserve
pity, because Of real tendency to put
on weight despite moderate eating, but
most Of them should be placed In some
what the same category as the alco-
holic. In 900 cases out of 1000 be-
ing fat implies too much food or too
little exercise, or both cOmbined."--

Stone Mountain.

Stone mountain, on whose granite
wall is to be sculptured memorial to
the Confederacy, is 16 miles from At
lanta, Ga. 1t will be the largest monu-
ment In the world. The space Gov
cred will be about eight hundred feet
high and fifteen hundred feet wide.
The project first attracted attention
in 1915, when Mrs. G. Helen Plane,
then Lightweight years Of age, a lead
er Of Southern women. sent for Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, to come to
Georgia, to consider the feasibility of
q great sculptural monument to the
Confederacy on the wall of the noun
tain. Mr.. Borglum made a careful
study Of several plans. The plan
adopted represents an army marching
into battle. 1t will comprise portraits

them remarked:

GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO
In Cold Weather the Bird Finds a
Safe and Warm Retreat
in Snow House.

In the temperate months the grouse
has an excellent choice of food con
sisting of a great variety Of berries,
small fruit, seeds, buds, clover, beech
nuts, grasShoppers and multitude Of
young, tender leaves. In the winter
now the fall fight of the robins com
pletely eXhausts the berries, which
were wont to linger and ripen well
into winter, compelling the grouse to
depend largely upon yellow birch
buds, with many Il forced meal on an
evergreen.
Fortunately whenever the tempera-
ture is far below zero the sky is usu-
ally clear and the grouse are active
and unconcerned, but if the days and
nights are dark and cold or the air
filled with merciless pellets, they have
the habit Of plunging into deep snow
drifts, where a foot below the surface

main comfortably until the storm
clears or hunger forces an exit.
Sometimes in winter or the early
spring there may come a rain or a
warm day that meMs the surface snow
followed by severe weather, and then
thousands Of grouse are imprisoned

.no Made the Alphabet

If it takes a genius to make great
words, it was also a genius who made
the alphabet which makes the words.
The pedigree of our alphabet can be
traced continuously for nearly 5000
years, and then comes a hiatus, says q
recent writer. The genesis Of writing
must naturally be sought in pictures.
Caveman, when he painted his women
or beasts on rock walls, or carved elks
and elephants on antlers and tusks,
was laying the foundations of one Of
the great human inventions. Behind
all this apt artistic effort we must see
some esoteric motive, for it was not
due merely to the striving OF the crea-
tive soul after expression. Doubtless,
adds our authority, when caveman held
an exhibition of his works, his friends
praised the ingenuity and beauty of
his pictures, but there is something
more than the desire of simple repro
duction hidden in his handiwOrk.

Down on the Farm.

A young man spending vacation
was walking about the country lanes
in an endeavor to hide from himself
entirely all town life or anything
which reminded him of town life.
CHANGING across a country postnan,
he stopped him and asked what time
it was.
Pulling out his watch, the postlnan
deliberately replied:

By the railway time"
"By railway time" calculated the
young man. 81 should say that you

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery in Jerusalem Solves Much
of Mystery Connected With King
SoIomon's Temple.

How often great discoveries spring
from trifing incidents The trite re-
Election comes to mind naturally on
hearing how the QuaTries of King Sol
onion were found. Dr.. Allen Moore,
for II years a resident of Palestine,
tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore, travellers, and Psychologists
were puzzled to know where the enof-
nous blocks of stone still standing iii
the ruins of SOlomon's temple at Jeru-
salem were Quarried. One day lit
tie dog chased Il lizard down hole
among the debris. The next instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down in vain. He called, and
to his amazement his voice came back
as from great depths: He summoned
assistance, and a passage was opened
into immense subterranean quarries.
There were found huge masses OF
stone almost ready to be hojsted
above ground.
"And don't you remember" asks
Doctor Moore, that we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built
without sound Of saw or of hammer
The fact that the Quarryman worked
underground partly explains that"
Upon some Of the stones we're found
inscriptions that perplexed the cXplor-
ers until one scholar pronounced them
Phoenican. The stones were wrought
by some Of that army Of workmen sent
by King Hiram Of Tyre to aid King
Solomon in his task.-Youtlt's Com

Vacuum Plays Havoc With Boiler.

The usually iInperceptible force Of
atmospheric pressure often reveals it
SELF by some unexpected and peculiar
tricks One Of the latest Of it's FRANKS
was TO crumple the shell of a heavy
steel boiler in use near Okmulgee
Okla. The steam within the boiler
had been allowed to cool, and in cool
ing condensed. All of the boiler fit
tings we're so tight that no air could
get into the boiler to take the place
of the steam, which was now very
much reduced in volume, and a
vacuum was thus created in the shell.
The result was that the pressure OF
the outside air crushed the boiler

SHRIMP PROTECTION
 ADVOCATED BY ALLEN

That something should be done i'm mediately to preserve the shrimp industry of Southeastern Alaska and prevent depletion of the supply, is the opinion of J. c. Allen of Peters burg, who has been, among other ! things. engaged in gathering shrimp for the Wrangell cannery. The in dustry is now growing at rapid rate, says Mr. Allen, and now is the time to regulate it.
 There are now three shrimp can neries in operation in Southeastern Alaska, and another is on the way North. There are two canneries at Petersburg and one at Wrangell. The third one for Petersburg is moving to Alaska from the Oregon Coast, and will soon be in operation.
 Mir. Allen says there should be a law passed to prevent fishing for shrimp during the spawning season, which occurs in the waters that are being fished in Alaska, in Nov ember and December He says the shrimp are in the poorest condi- ton these months. Fishing at that time destroys the spawn that should be permitted to furnish future sup ply.

FREIGHT PROBLEM STILL HAND|CAPS, SAYS W. I. L0PP
Chief of Bureau of Education Disappointed in Not Get
 ting Own Freight Boat.

w, T. Lopp, superintendent of the Alaska Division of the Bureau Of Education, who arrived here yes terday for a conference with Federal and Territorial officials on educa tional matters in connection with the arrangements for the Bureaus bud get for the coming season, said today that it was a great disappointment when the appropriation to put the U. S. S. Boxer in shape as freight carrier was lost in conference. The ship had been secured from the U. s. Transport Service to be used by the Bureau of Education to trans port supplies to it's stations in the Boring Sea and the Arctic Ocean.
 Much credit is given by MT. Lopp to George A. Parks, Chairman of the Interdepartmental Board. for helping to secure the vessel. It is hoped the appropriation necessary to install semi-Diesel engines in the boat may be passed at the coming session Of Congress, although it will perhaps be too late to be of use this year.
 with the Boxer we had hoped to reach about twenty four hundred natives who live between the Yukon and Kuskok#im Rivers and to de- liver supplies to all of our far. off stations" Mir. Lopp said today "We were doomed to disappointment, how ever, and are now trying to make arrangements for transportation by other means. The transportation problem has always been our most serious problem and actual suffering has been caused at several of our
