SnaiIs and Screws.
Nearly all inventions have been sug-
gested by natural objects.

Nearly all inventions have been sug-
gested by natural objects.
Fremont, of the French School Of
Mines, points out an interesting ex-
ample In the case Of the screw, the
fundamental idea Of which, he be-
ueves, was suggested to primitive
man by the spiral shape Of the edible
snail.
Il was not the shape Of the she'll
that suggested the screw. but the
spiral motion which 1t is necessary to
give to the body Of the snail in order
TO withdraw 1t from the shell. This
at once showed that an object Of q
screw shape embedded in q solid pow
erfuly resisted attempts to withdraw
it by q straight pull.
The hint was enough, and the
screw became one Of the earliest OF
mans inventions.

Origin Of Slang Term.

"Chaff," as q slang phrase, refers to
the throwing Of chaff instead Of bird
seed to allure birds, and consequently
we get the phrase an old bird is not
caught with chaff, that is wise man,
with all his wits about him, is not to
be drluded by humbug. But you are
chatting me-" springs from an entirely
different source. Here the reference Is
to the French word chauffeur to cook,
chaff to vex, and the English ex-
preston still survives in the phrase to
"roast" a person, which does not neces-
sarily mean to cook him, although he
may become heated.

Superstition Dying Out

Until comparatively recent times
the Channel islanders, and, indeed,
most inhabitants of the remoter Brit

perstitions which were long in dying.

birds of such renowned solemnity
and secluded habit, have always e1-
hibited particular liking for Oxford
university. Recently they have estab-
lished a new colony In the tvy-cov-

the Tower Of the Five Orders, in the
Old Schools quadrangle. Members Of
the library staff now occasionally find
relaxation from their duties by res
cuing the young birds which find their
way down to the pavement Of the
quadrangle and are unable to fly up
to their nests.

crusader. He will insist on strict en-
forcement of the prohibition law, he
says, but he is not going to under

that congress might not put there.
This is disturbing to the prohibi-

when they heard that the new commits

ton enforcement eventually from the
treasury department to the department
of justice. Commissioner Blair has
said nothing for publication about his
ideas on the subject, but Senator Pen

was for shifting enforcement to the

EX-GOV. LOWDEN AGAINST MORE
U. S. TAXES.

Dangers of increasing taxation
were pointed out by former Governor
Frank o. Lowden in his commence
ment address Tuesday at the Univers-
ity of Chicago.
Nearly six hundred degrees, titles
and certificates were conferred. The
graduates include six Chinese, one
a woman; two Filipinos, a Japanese
"One prolific cause of rapidly in
creasing cost of government is to be
found in the number of public agen-
cies that have authority to levy
taxes" said Mr.. Lowden.
More and more the government
appropriates for purposes which prop
erly belong to the state. The state
is urged all the while to appropriate
for objects for which the local com.
munities themselves should care.
This results in endless duplication in
cost of administration and consequent
extravaganza.
Let the proportion of public en-
ployes continue to increase as rap
idly as it has in late years and
our population will be divided into
two classes, those holding office and
all others working to support those
in office from that condition to
