How Spider spans Space.

BY trailing d Unread behind him
spider is able to drop from any height
to the ground, or any solid substance.
and retrace his steps with certainty
to particular spot. Having once re-
traced his steps. he can drop in an-
other direction. returning along the
thread spun on the second trip. This
will continue Indefinitely, during
which operation the spider is con-
tinually spanning a space with his
web.

Whence "Pio Iron. j"

Pig iron is phrase which has moth
ing to do with swine. When iron is
melted 1t runs off into a channel called
SOW and the lateral branches are
called pigs; therefore when the iron
cools 1t Is called pig iron. Now the
word sow is from the Saxon ''sawan"
to scatterS obviously having a sow for

Name Of Norman ORIGIN.

Those who bear the name Fox
should not jump to the conclusion that
the word has anything to do with the
animal. The Normans were very fond
Of given name (now obsolete) which
was spelled Fulque or Fulke. It was
as common then as Tom or William
today. But the Anglo-Saxon tongue
found 1t very difficult to pronounce
and gradually the name came to be
known as Fox, in which form il still
survives. Variations are Faux, Faxon,
Vaux, Fowkes ard several others.

which has perhaps given more atten-

than any other and accurate records
which have been kept show that the

five pounds heavier than those OF the
same grades in other schools.

1.-THE TOWN KNOCKER. "

/ just despise a fellow
Who is knocking all the time,
He's always starting trouble,
And he isn't worth a dime;
A menace to a city,
A deceiver and a pest,
With nothing else to call him,
He's a knocker at the best.
How 1 detest the fellow
Who is always tearing down;
Who never lifts a finger
For his people or his town;
He couldn't say a good word
And wouldn't il he could,
For he takes the opposition,
Says we Shouldn't" or We
Should"
A swearing like a trooper,
He's bore and he's absurd;
He's always springing something
That's a lie in every word
He's always hunting trouble
And he findse it where he goes,
For all the decent people
Are his everlasting foes.
He ought to be distracted
From his awful state of mind,
He has a band delusion
OF the most destructive kind;
And likely to engender
A real internal strife;
IL not eliminated
He will spoil our civic life.
So just ignore his chatter
And repeat it not at all,
Don't listen to his murm'r rings,
Don't hear his beck and call;
For we want to live together
As peaceful as we can
And do not want our. city
To be spoiled by any man.

[ Chinese business men are friendly toward Americans. But their friend ship naturally does not extend to the length that they desire to pay taxes to the American Government at Washington. British, Japanese, French and German business in China was built up largely by firms of these var rious natiGnalities, through the use of local Chinese capital and native bus mess skill. The British GOvernment in b s far-sishted trade plans has felt that the big thing was the trade that would keep her big home industries revenue that might be, obtained by taxing her foreign firr6s to death. America on the other hand believes it is more important to obtain few thousands of dollars by drawing taxes from her companies away out in China, than it would be to give them certain advantages E51at would make up in hundreds of ways in the result ing markets for our goods.

BACK TO THE SPOHS SYSTEM


 By executive order President Hard ing has put the first, second and third class Post Offices back into pol itics. Whatever explanation may be offered, the result proves the pur- pose. Over 13,O0o Postmasterships spells, with negligible restrictions Republican patronage-brokers and job-hunters may now cease complain ing and look forward to the distribu- ton of rewards among loyal party workers in the 1920 campaign. When he entered the White House on March President Harding found in operation the merit system established by order of President Wilson in 1917 for the selection of Postmasters in all first, second and third class offices. After barely two months he has yielded to partisan persuasion and substituted a new plan of his own that makes a farce of the merit system. Hereafter when a vacancy occurs, if mot 'k:Iled by nomination of some person within the competitive classified civil service who has the required qualifications, B after competitive examination the Postmaster General shall submit to the President "the names of one of the highest three qualified e1igibIes for appointment" The way is left open to reappoint only Republican in fs11r h heT1fs. Iir qualified e1igib1es'' to make appoint ments on a straight partisan basis The wide power of discretion retained amounts to an announcement of the Administrations intention to give preference to it's party followers in filling the Post Offices.
 Just before his retirement Post master General Burleson furnished Congress proof of how the merit rule under the Wilson order of 1917 had been maintained From the time of the issuance of the order appoint ments to Presidential Post Offices had gone to the candidates first on the lists of eligIbles, and no record was made in the department of their political affiliations. To supply Con gress with that information Post master General Burleson applied di- rect to the Postmasters appointed, and of 2,103 replying it was learned that 1,012 were Democrats. 9o7 Re ,pubIicans. 32 independents, 10 Pro- hibitionists and 3 Socialists, while 1s9 had no party affiliations or failed to state them
 On this merit system. after four years successful trial, the President has now turned his back
