WHY
Law Officers Are Univer lilly
Known as Policemen.

In We olden days the law officer in
England whose duty it was to appre-
bend criminals, was known as 1.-The
catch-pole" because of a peculiar in
strument he used to catch criminals
by the neck.
The pole was about siN. feet long
and the collar was slightly flexible,
and in "catch-poles" used on serious.
Offenders the collar was studded with
spikes on the inside.
While such instruments were being
used in England, the French had
adapted the name police" from "a
long line of language ancestors, be-
ginning with the Greek word for
state"
From the Greek the word was
transferred to the German "polizel,"
and by the Italians as 'polizia." The
French corrupted it into police, and
as such it was finally adopted by the
English and eventually found it's way
to America as the term Cor officials
entrusted with enforcing tie laws of
the state.
AS late as 1920 the word was still
considered foreign by English writer's,
and it was not until many years after
that that it came into common usage.
Other countries still use different
names for law enforcement officers.
The military police of Italy, for in
stance, are known as sbirri, and in
France they are called gendarmerie.
Americans, as usual, are not con-
tent with calling policemen simply po- !
lice, and have invented number of
mcknames, such as "copper"" which
came supposedly from the fact that
many police wore copper buttons on
their uniforms, and dicks" slang
for detective.-Chicago

STRUGGLES ALONG ON $4,000
University of Pennsylvania Law Stu
dent Who Receives Huge Income

"Wanted, stenographer of unim-
peachable character, experienced in
shorthand and taking dictati9p, who
will be willing to devote her Sundays

of struggling law student at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania"
This is the model of stenographic
ability required by the university's
richest student, John Jeffries V of
England, who is struggling" only in
so far as his law work goes, for he
came to this country with the mere
trifle of $4,000 a year on which to
live, says The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Jeffries, who is a second-year stu
dent, already has one stenographer,
but his earnest delving into the intri-
cacies of Blackstone and his illl re-
quire more assistance and he is now
looking for a suitable young woman
to add to his staff
The young Englishman, who is the
fifth direct descendant of John Temple,
governor general of Ireland, and has
three cousins in the house Of lords is
popular among his classmates, who
declare that he is quite democratic, in
spite of the burden of his wealth. He
lives quietly and unpretentiously, and
nothing in his mode of living seems to
indicate that he spends even a half of
$50, 900 allowed him.

This question is asked thousands of
times, but never stays answered. Yet
the answer is simple-if you know the
secret The twist in an African ne
gro's hair, for instance, tends to keep
him cool during the heat of the sun.
Examine the furs of the different an
imals and it will be seen that those
with straight-haired pelts live in the
northern sections of the world, while
those with curly fur come from the
warmer climates. In the same way
those which have white hair come
from the region of snow and ice, while
those with black or brown hair inhabit
the more temperate climates. The
explanation is that the fur of the
northern animals is intended princi-
pally to keep its wearers warm, and
that of the animals which live in trop-
ical climates is to protect them from
the direct rays of the sun-this result
being accomplished by the curls and
kinks of the black or brown fur

Japanese Remain Buddhists.

That so per cent of the japanese
living in the sugar plantation camps
of Hawaii never have been touched
by Christian propaganda, and that
American plantation owners, managers
and others who have helped support
Japanese Buddhist missions, "did a
foolish thing, if ever man did," were
two of the statements made by Rev.
Ulysses G. Murphy, representative of
the American Bible society, in a re
cent address at Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy also said that the
elder generation of Japanese living
in the plantation camps, owing to their
isolation, are forty years behind their
native country in thought and under
standing of modern conditions.
Any attempt at Americanization of
the Japanese in Hawaii which leaves
untouched their home life and fails
to recognize that the key to the prob
lem is the Japanese language schools
Is foredoOmed to failure, Rev. Mr..
Murphy declared.

LONGEVITY ON THE DECREASE
University Professor Thinks 1t Is, and
Gives Some Cogent Reasons Why
1t Should Be.

Prof. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hop
kins, after an exhaustive study of life
probability extending through a histor-
ic period of two thousand years, ar
riveS at the conclusion that while
mans possibilities of life at birth and
in earlier stages has been steadily i'm
proving, his expectation of life at ADJ
vanced age has been steadily decreas-
ing. Comparisons ranging from the
RomanO-Egyptian to the present day
offer statistical proof. The theoretical
explanation is that in early times with
less provision for the protection of
babies and infants, only the more rug
ged pulled through. Nowadays with
increasing care for childhood the weak
are carried into adolescence and adult
hood. Where formerly only the tittest
or toughest managed to reach the
shady slope of life, and were cOnse-
quently more likely to hang on to ripe
old ages, the salvaging of the weaker
brings them into the fifties and sixties
with less hope of prolonged life. 1t
sounds plausible and may explain the
apparent decrease of longevity. Incl
dentally, his statistics brought out the
fact that while women formerly haG
less expectation of life at all ages,
this has been reversed-another blow
to the tradition of 1.-THE weaker sex"
Women now appear to have the great
er probability of prolonged life.

HAD BROUGHT ANOTHER LOAD
colored Tobacco Grower Knew What
Was Expected OF Him, and
Had Come Prepared.

A colored man from Kentucky drove
to loose leaf tobacco sales ware
house in one Of the lndiandacities on
the Ohio with load of tobacco.
When he received his sales slip and
weights he noticed the customary bank
check was missing.
Approaching the cashier he said:
Look here, boss, where is my
money for this here tobacco?" The
sales sheet was consulted.
ITS like this: the expenses for
weighing, unloading and commission
for selling your tobacco amounted TO
more than the tobacco was worth. You
still owe us just 80 cents" explained
the cashier.
"Well, that's all right, I guess, but
l amt got a cent with me-"
"Then next time you are coming
over the river, just bring along
chicken with you and we will call the
deal square"
Within a week the colored man APP
peared in the office with two chickens,
one under each arm.
Here are the chickens"
"Sure-but you didn't have to bring
two of them, one would have paid the
bill"
Eyes, boss, but Use brought another
load of tobacco. "-Indianapolis News.

Why Face Is UpIifted.

Holding the head upward in rather
a strained position has nothing to do
with vision. The real reason is to be
found partly in the effort of strained
attention natural in such circum-
stances, partly in the instructive at
tempt to make the greatest possible
use of the senses that are left, that
Of touch excited by contact of the
air as it meets the face, and that
Of smell. The shifting to catch some
faint Odor is always accompanied by
an uplifted face. 1t begins with this
and soon unconsciously becomes a
habit.

KNOWS MACHINES He BUILDS
Head of Great Locomotive Works Has
More Than Business Acumen to
His Credit.

On hot day last summer an eH-
press train between Philadelphia and
New York came to a jolting halt, says
Nations Business. The passengers
first joked, then grumbled, then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down
from a chaircar and marched up to
the engine, which was the center of
a ring of passengers.
whats wrongT" he asked.
In effect, the engineer said that the
engine had quit and he didn't know
what the several things was the mat
ter with it.
The big man peeled off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort Of disappeared
in the interior of the unwilling engine
and the ring of watching passengers
grew.
Half an hour later he emerged with
a smudged face and grimy hands, and
said, "She's all right now" put coat
and waistcoat over his arm and
walked back to his chair car, wiping
his hands on a handful of waste he'd
picked up in the cab.
She was all right, and the man who
made her all right was Samuel Mat
thews Vauclain, millionaire president
of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and
a real boss of their 10000 workmen.

empty shells telescope over eggs just
pipped, causing the death of the I'M
