ment of Justice has issued bulletir
dealing with the growth of the talk
ing machine industry in the United
States. In 1914 there were eighteer
establishments making the machines
and their product for the year wa:
valued at $27,116,000 whereas IL
1919. there were 166 establishment:
engaged in the industry with an out
put valued at $158, ,548,000.
This means that there is now neal
six of the noise boxes at large te
only one seven some years ago. The
census report can be verified by
anyone who cares to go out on the
front porch of an evening an leno
an ear.
II your wife greets you at the
door with frown or throws skill
let at you don't blame her. She Can't
help it. It's the shoes she's wearing
DR.. Adam M. Hall, president OF
the Chiropody Society of Pennsyl-
vania, says that the irritable dispos-
ition Of women can be traced direct
ly to ill-ftting shoes and consequent
foot troubles.
The learned doctor, who is also a
professor in the school of chiropody
at Temple University, states that the
high French heel is deforming and
unhealthful, but the Louis or baby
French heel is safe and sane.
The doctor may know lot about
feet but he knows little about wo-
men if he thinks they are going to
quit wearing high-heeled shoes for
the simple reason that they are de-
forming and unhealthful.
AS long as high heels are in style
they will be worn: If high heels are
stylish probably high tempers are
too. Why be mild and pleasant if it
is stylish to be irritable?
We are all more or less familiar
with the old story how the man was
acquitted on a charge of murder
preferred against him for killing
Chinaman because of the fact that
the indictment failed to state that
the Chinaman was human being
The importance placed on the word
ing of legal documents in the courts
of our land has caused many smiles
and tears and made the courts the
object of many jokes.
The latest, which, is in our opln-
ino, on the par with the one about
the murder of the Chinaman, comes
from San Francisco. The United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals at
San Francisco ordered Eugene Sol
Louis, an Indian of the Occur d Al
lene reservation in Idaho, freed from
a sentence of twelve years imposed
upon him by the Federal District
Court of Idaho for the murder of his
wife. because he was tried in the
wrong court.
The Court of Appeals held that
Congress in its act of 1906 allotting
the lands of the Occur d. Alene res
ervation had provided expressly that
beneeforth those Indians should be
subject to the state laws. The muir
derer should not have been tried be-
fore a Federal Court, it was decided.
Now if Louie is brought before
the State courts plea of "once IN
jeopardy could be made, attorneys
said.
At a meeting of the National En-
ployment Board held in Chicago, re-
Gently, James o. Craig, president OF
one of Chicago's largest employment
agencies stated that chauffeuses Tor
typewriters are becoming exceeding
lv hard to obtain. The stenographers
he said. are getting married and
quitting work in great numbers.
And here's a tip too, he states
that at least one out of every ten
stenographers marries her employ
er. If there's any lonesome young
stenographer hereabouts that wants
to own a nice business in Chicago we
advise her to depart for the windy
city at once and play the ten to one
shot of marrying the boss.
In a recent article in this column
I'VE commented on the high cost and
death rate in connection with the
aerial mail service and stated that
we believed the service should be
curtailed or abandoned.
Announcement comes from wash
ington that the air mail routes be
tween Chicago and ST. Louis and
Chicago and st. Paul will be discon-
tinued after July 1st. The New YORK
to San Francisco service will be
maintained for the present.
Since our last article on the sub
iect there has been number OF
deaths from accidents due to the
failure of the pilots to have advanced
information on weather conditions
The department should see thai
every precaution is taken or aban-
don the service.
