SAGES HAVE SAID.

It's a poor lawyer who can't con-
strue a law in more ways than one.
Smiles cost less than electric lights,
and they make the home brighter
A man is seldom as old DIS he feels
or woman as young as she says she
is.
Full-length trousers have been the
fashion for 100 years, and still they're
ugly.
If he is your friend in fact, what
you say behind his back" is always
kind.
Monthly rent days always come
around quicker than the weekly pay
days.
Bald-headed men are apt to sneer
at the chap who parts his hair in the
middle.
Poverty would soon die out if
babies were permitted to select their
parents.
The faster a man lives the quicker
he will occupy ground-1ioor space in
d cemetery.
Freckles are less than half as
pretty as bushes, but they are never
counterfeit.
If a woman isn't suspicious of her
husband one Of her womanly traits is
badly warped.
If one can't be wholly independ-
ent, he need not make an exhibition
of his subsection.
If man is ignorant he may learn,
but if he knows too much there is
no hope for him.
Don't insist that your children go
to church unless you are willing to
set them an example.
Honesty is the best policy" is an
example of substituting "be careful"
for "be good"
It is easier for a father to keep his
coin and his boy apart s>tn it is to
teach them to stick together.

Are Corns a Luxury?

When is luxury tax? Representa-
tive Aaron S. Kreider tells this story ::
A woman went into a restaurant and
ordered plate of ice cream, and when
she came to pay she had check for
10 cents and 2 cents was added to it.
She asked: what does that 2 cents
meanY'
WELL" she was told, "15 cents for
your ice cream and cents luxury
tax"
She paid 1t, and then she walked
across the street to the drug store and
asked for corn plaster, and she got
a check for 10 cents, and 1 cent added
She said. what is the 1 cent for2's
THAT Is the luxury tax"
,"Well," she said, "this is the first
time ever knew that corns were a.
luxury"
Now that Is the way it goes. There
are great many things to be con-
sidered in discussing tax propositions.

Radiophione Music.

1t appears very much as though we
are on the verge of a new era in radio
communication, namely radiophone
music for the home. The idea, in brief, is
to have radiophone stations at central
points sending out concert music as
well as speeches and lectures via radio,
aud compact and simple radio receiv-
ing sets in various homes, clubs and
so on to intercept the waves. Already
there are several radiophone stations
in operation, and at least one wire
less company has developed a receiv-
ing set made in the form of a cabinet
photograph, Incorporating concealed
loud-speaking telephone unit, so that
the music, speech, lecture or other
radiophone transmission can be heard
throughout a room. 1t is believed by
radio men that leading manufacturers
of radio equipment will see fit to main
tain radiophone concert and lecture
services for their patrOns.-Scientific

GLASS FOR BURIAL CASKETS
Prediction Made That Material VIII
Soon Be in Genera! Use-Has
Many Advantages.

Glass caskets, Or collins, though al
ready being manufactured, are still
something of a novelty at present, but
by the time most of us need such
furnishings their use will be universal,
if not compulsory.
And VIII ;.ot? asks the Technical En-
cheering News. f4ley are said to be
no more expensive than wooden
caskets and have other distinct advan-
tages Even lead caskets are not per
manent in the moist earth, whereas
nothing short of an earthquake can
affect a permanent glass container
after burial.
Consider the number of people who
die of disease and are hurriedly buried
In ordinary wooden caskets only to pol
lutte the soil and tributary streams.
The glass casket we read, provides
Theoretically sealed permanent con
tainer. 1t is made of clear glass and
weighs about the same as an ordinary
metal casket while the cost is COM
parable to that of a moderately good
wooden casket. But though the casket
be Of clear glass, the tenant body is
not ordinarily exposed to view after
the casket is sealed.
The main problem Of manufacture
is to be able to press and anneal d
piece Of glass of the size required. The
making of the glass itself presents no
unusual difficulties, but we are told
that pressing a casket without air
bubbles and then annealing it SO that
1t will not crack is a manufacturing
problem.
A glass casket plant consists of two
large gas producers, glass furnace,
mechanical "batch" mixer, pneumatic
press with interchangeable forms so
that both top and bottom are pressed
on the same machine, annealing oven,
and finishing and shipping room.
Everything, from coal and 'batch" to
the casket being annealed, is handled
by conveyOrS. The cOnveyor In the
annealing furnace is geared down so
as to take eight hours from one end
to the other. All machinery is driven
by purchased electric power, the boiler
plant being used for heating and pro-
yiding compressed air for the pneu-
matte press only.

Not Capable.
American.

Five business men compose the
Terra Haute school board. Their du-
ties are manifold, but still there are
a few things they cannot do. Even
the public recognizes that, as this
little story will prove. A teacher, who
has very uncouth child in her room,
sent the mother note, telling her.
that If she did not have the child
cleaned up and her hair trimmed she
would report her to the school Off
Gals.
The next morning the child returned
clean, and with her hair bObbed. She
also carried a note which read: Dear
Miss-This is to certify that the
school board did not bob my child's
hair. l had respectable barber do

Foreiun Wheat Yields.

The wheat yield of Australia is ex-
pected to be between 125,OOO0OO and
10000, 900 bushels, Of which 100000,
600 are available for export. The cur
rent yield is the largest since 1861,
although not the record year. The
latest estimate for the 1920-21 wheat
crop Of India gives the total at 23,60O,-
900 acres, as against 2S,6OO,OOO acres
for the corresponding forecast of last
year. The yield will be very much
smaller proportionately than last year.

Saved With Dynamite.

A thrilling story comes out of north
ern Ontario. The women of an Indian
encampment were attacked by timber
wolves while the men were absent
trapping. With the few rifles left in
the camp the women defended them
selves until the ammunition gave out
and their situation became perilous.
An Indian boy thought of some sticks
of dynamite for use in lakes when
fishing was bad. A bundle of them
with caps and fuses was thrown
among the wolves and the explosion
killed SO wolves and frightened off tire

PUTTING 1T UP TO THE CLERGY

Do we need more laws? We think
not. There may be, as some claim, too
many laws now; that some ought to
be repealed. But we do not agree with
the Socialists in this state and chance
to be backed by men to whom profits
meant more than laws, who are clamor-
ing for repeal of the state Sunday
law. The law has stood the test. Has
it done harm, OF even proved handi-
cap to SINCE upright, loyal citizen?
What is the opinion of one person
suggested the heading placed over this
article. We quote the opinion
81 suggest that decent men and
women get together for the purpose of
aiding to stiffen the backbones of the
clergy by telling them to speak out
from the pulpit and to make of religion
an everyday affair, living thing Let
the ministers insist thst everyone Of
their parishioners sign paper to the
effect that they believe in God who
holds it dishonest to be dishonest,
whether the dishonesty is found out or
not. Let every churchgoer swear that
he is honest before he is permitted to
contribute to the church. Let the rule
be: No tainted money. If that will
close up some churches, it will, never
theless. do more good than keeping
those churches open. Man-made laws
do not make men Christians or honest
men. Man-made laws are broken too
often. Let US try to experiment with
God-made laws, which. once perfected
and in force, should do away with all
