FIRST BLUE LAW" EXPONENT
Emperor Constantine Laid Down
Strict Rules for the Guidance
of His Subject Peoples.

Constantine. the great Roman en-
peror. who ruled in 32I A. D., was the
first ruler in Europe TO impose blue
laws upon the people. Constantine
was highly religious, and he demand
ed strict observance of the Sabbath
throughout his vast empire.
He decreed that Judges. inhabit-
ants and artificers" must rest on the
Sabbath He excepted husbandmen
from this order, however, since SOW
ing was a necessity and could rot be
done on any other day." Slaves could
not be compelled work on this day,
by the emperor's decree. Should mas
tiers be caught In the act of forcing
their slaves to labor, heavy fine and
perhaps a jail sentence would be i'm
posed. Children were emancipated
from labor on the Sabbath. Constan-
tine also ordered his vast armies
wherever they might be to devote this
day to prayer. At the same time he
set aside Friday as a day in which
prayer was required Of all the people.
Later he extended his order to include
Saturday as day when the wheels of
Roman industry should remain still.

TO THE PUBLIC

Our Offices are now located at No.
2, South Magnolia street, west side
of the public square, IN the Masters
block. Increased patronage of the
Florida House. and the rapid growing
business of our own, forced US to
hunt larger quarters for our Office.
We wish to thank the management of
the Florida House for the many ia
vors shown us, and it is with regret
that they haven't sufficient room to
continue to take care of US. We still
have our motto hanging on the wall
which reads: "He profits most who
serves best" We have endeavored to
live according to this motto, and are
now prepared to give better service
than ever before. A visit to our Office,
and consultation with us regarding
property which you have for sale, or
property which you desire to pur-
chase, will be to your interest.

into the hospital II seems George

the Middle West. One morning George
didn't turn up. The master went to
Sam and said: "Sam, where's GeorgeT

how many there are like him. They
are going to turn the world upside
down until they meet face to face with
the facts.
After the bunglers get In their work

Unnecessary Courtesy.

American parents often deplore the
abruptness of their children's speech,
but few American children would ven
ture to address their parents in the in
cisive language sometimes used In the
Gladstone family, as indicated in a re-
cent book by Mary Drew, Mr.. Glad
stones daughter. 1t bored Mr. Glad
stone, she says, to hear people apollo

thought it more to the point to be short

RIDE ON SUNBEAM EXPRESS
Journey That Would Be Remarkable
for Speed and for Wonders
Seen Along the Way.

Emile BeIot, the French astronomer,
suggests that, II one were able to
straddle a light ray (Which travels
$4,000 miles a second) and thus voy-
age through space, observations along
the route would be exceedingly inter
esting.
IT would take only a little more
than a second to reach the moon and
I'm 4 minutes and 20 seconds one would
arrive at the planet Mars. One would
get as far as Jupiter in 35 minutes.
to Saturn in 70 minutes, to Uranus in
2h hours and to Neptune In 4 hours.
On the way one would come across
q great many comets without tails
nebulous bodies of spherical shape
which are rarely seen from the earth.
It would take two years to get out
side the sphere of the suns attraction.
and by that time our orb of day
would look like nothing more import
ant than a big star.
The star nearest 10 US, Alpha Cen
tauri, would meanwhile be looming up,
and the wayfarer through space might
expect to arrive there in little more
than four years. By this time he
would have journeyed 24,00O,0O0,OOO
miles

OLD TANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Ago Has Been Found in Compare
lively Good Condition.

Originally skins were cured by sim
ply cleaning and drying. Then II was
found the texture Of tie leather was
improved by the use of smoke. sour
milk, various oils and the brains OF
animals themselves. Later IL was dis
covered that certain astringent barks
and vegetables effected permanent
changes in the texture of skins and
stopped decay. The ancient Egyptians
possessed this knowledge. for engrav-
ings on their tombs depict the process
Of tanning. In China specimens OF
leather have been discovered in COM
pany with other relics that prove them
to be more than 5000 years old The
Romans used leather which they
tanned with oil, alum and bark. Early
explorers in America found the In
dams wearing skins prepared with
buffalo dung, oil and clay.
No Improvement In the general
methods of preparing leather took
place from the most primitive times
until about 1870, when the use of lime
20 loosen the hair was introduced. By
1925 English tanners &ere attempt
ing to introduce new methods by
which the tanning process could be
shortened. One Of the pioneers in
these experiments was John Burridge.
the inventor of the barometer. an in
strument for determining the strength
Of tanning liquors.

ica was built in Virginia A second

HOLDS PROPERTY IN TRUST
Man Enjoying What Is Known as
Usufruct Has Benefits and Re-
sponsibiIities Under Law.

Our word usufruct is. derived from
two Latin words usus, use, and fruc-
tus, fruit The Latins combined them
into usufructus. the equivalent OF our
word usufruct, which is a term of
law, especially of the Roman law and
of those systems based on Roman law.
Usufruct Is the right Of enjoying
things belonging to another, and Of
drawing from them all the profit and
advantage they viii produce without
destroying or wasting their substance
One title Of the civil code of the
province of Quebec deals with usu-
fruct- This right may be established
by law or by the will of man. A SIM
pie example would be this: person
wills the ownership of a farm TO
son, but the usufruct to a brother for
his lifetime. The brother enters at
once upon the enjoyment of his usu-
fruct and is called the usufructuary
He cultivates the farm and takes the
revenue, subject to the obligation of
making ordinary repairs. He must
use the property as a prudent, indus
trious man would do, without impair
ing the capital The usufruct Of
stocks would consist OF the enjoyment
Of the dividends. or of sum of money
the usufruct would consist OF the in
terest earned thereon.-Montreal Her

Coal on Farms.

The United States uses about 100,
100000 cords of wood annually fol
fuel, of which so per cent is consumed
In the rural districts.
In spite of the fact that most o.
our farm woodlands occur in the sew
enteen states making up New England
and the lake states, the farmers anc
rural population of this section annu
ally use in excess Of 100000 tons o.
coal.
If by substituting wood One-quartel
less coal could be burned on farmi
and one-tenth less in villages, the tota
saving would amount to nearly 5000,
900 tons, or between $1,000 and 1000
carloads.

Strengthening Wire.

Stray pieces of copper wire have
many uses, but ii is often necessary to
straighten out wire that has already
been used before it can be employed
again. See that there are no sharp
bends or kinks in the wire and
straighten out by hand any of these
which are found. Fasten one end OF
the wire TO some firm anchorage, grip
it in the wise if necessary. Loop the
other end of the wire around a ham
