the sensation of Penang. Tho crowds fiocked to sec 1t, and tho natives lined up for several hundred yards. each with his dime in his hand. waiting for his turn. We were so busy that I could net even go to the hotel for a meal: the brassy organ of tho merry-go-round shricked from early in the morning until late at night In two days I took in s1 800 Mexican.
 On the third day the merchant from whom I had rented the lot announced that he was going to build fence around it and charge cents for tho privilege of standing and watching tho naerry-go- round. I told him that wouldn't allow it; that all of Penang could como and see my show free. He went away angry. Four days later his lawyer came to sec me. He said that tho rent had been raised to $1o day. I told the lawyer to, wait and I went to get my pith hel- met The result was that, for $1 a day, I got tho use of the lot as long as wanted it
 Within six weeks had made up the entire cost of tho merry-go-round and l was on velvet. The dimes were still rolling in as fast as could collect them. Finally. when the novelty of my show had worn off, I shipped to Rangoon, Burma, to collect dimes there. After the merry-go-round had been running two weeks, I was approached by man who wished to buy me out I had had all the fun I wanted, and so I sold 1t to him For 1f 00n rr1naes $4 50n in gold

MALAYS AND MERRY -GO-ROUND

From Long Chances in the Animal
 Dealers Game" by Charles Mayer.
 in Asia Magazine for February.
 IT APPENED to see in an old copy of
 the New York Clipper an advertise ment of a steam merry-go-round. That gave me an idea; there had never been a merry-go-round in the Malay pen- insula, and was confident enough of my judgment of Malay nature to gamble that it would be success I cabled x.0u in gold for the merry-go-round, which arrived in Penang nine weeks later.
 Opposite tho Hotel de la Paix I found a good open space. and routed out of bed the Chinese merchant who owned it. I told him that should like to rent the lot for show. Now Chinese likes a STOW better than anything else on earth. and so we were not long in closing a bargain. I was to pay him a rental of $1 Mexican day. had no paper on which to write out the agreement. and so, since I didn't want him to change his mind, paid him 80 for one month, writing the receipt in my pith helmet He signed in my hat
 All that day we worked at uncrating Ithe merry-go-round and putting it to- gether. It ran on wheels on a track and the horses were connected with eccen- tries, which worked them Up and down a good loud organ was connected by a l.e Vuif1, opa oP fho uheols

From the Washington Post
 HcIHE destruction of the power of the Mad Mullah," the desert robber chief who for 30 long years defied the British power in
 somaliland. by 200 aviators with Il I fighting planes Is the latest demon- stration of the military value of the
 modern flying machine. The suppress sion of the revolts of desert tribes has
 always been one of the most thank 1 less forms of the white mans burden" ! The difficulty of cornering and subdu- l ing a mobile enemy, with swift-riding , camels at his disposition and the whole l desert to operate in, is almost insupera- ble.
 The difficulty, not to say the impos- l sibility, of obtaining a sufficient water
 supply renders the employment of a large force out of the question. and the , expense of keeping even small force
 in the field is out of all proportion to
 the results achieved. For these reasons
 British Somaliland for more than 30 years has been the scene of desultory and sporadic warfare. When the total expenditure in blood and treasure is , reckoned up and compared with the results achieved the game seems hardly worth the candle.
 In the beginning of 1919 the Mad Mullah," who undoubtedly had a large amount Of method in his madness,
 again became aggressive, and the Brit | ish authorities were once more faced | with the necessity of fitting out still

x F Y Kind of Help That \ Really Helps Farmers

@ OUTHERN farmers are to get 0 something out of Congress of far more importance than artificial aid in the disposal of their crops. In the agricultural appropriations bill there are these provisions.
 An appropriation of $554,S40 to fight the Mexican boil weevil.
 An appropriation of $138,831 for the enforcement of the cotton futures act.
 An appropriation of 65,O0O for ad- ministration of the United States warehouse act.
 An appropriation of $146,000 for enforcement of the insecticide act.
 An appropriation of $50,000 for ex- periments and demonstrations in live stock production in Louisiana. An appropriation of $1O0,O00 for control and eradication of the Mexi- can bean beetle in Alabama. An appropriation of $1,97s,o0 for the stamping out of tuberculosis among animals.
 An appropriation of $3S,40O for promotion of grading, ginning and baling cotton according to approved and standardized methods. This is helping the farmer at the farm. This is extending aid at the fountain head. Eradication of the Mexican bean beetle from Alabama alone means the salvage of a crop worth $20, 100000 per annum. Keeping out the Mexican cotton worm stands for prevention of millions of dam- age.
 It is this kind of aid which the farmer is entitled to expect from the government, because it is of build ing up nature, it is of general appli- cation to the agricultural interests of entire sections and, above all, it is help to those who propose to help themselves.
 The agricultural interests of the country would get much more out of the federal government if they would concentrate on that to which they are entitled.

AEROPLANES IN THE DESERT

another costly punitive expedition to resume tho weary task of fispersing an enemy as Elusive as collection of cells. The expedition was estimated to cost s25,ooo,oo and there was no guarantee that it would prove effica- cious
 Then some one thought of the aero plane, and an air force was organized. In a few days the Mad Mullah" and his followers were bombed out of their stronghold and forced into the open, where their columns soon disintegrated under the pursuit of the flying ma chimes. Once they were completely broken up, 1t was an easy task for the supporting British camel corps to round up the remnants. The power of the Mad Mullah" was broken for good.
 If the British had possessed such a means of aggression 40 year ago. Gen. Gordon would not have died in Khar- tum and the Sudan would not have been depopulated by 20 years of the ruthless rule of the Mahdi and his fanatical dervish followers. The use of lew aeropIanes in the Philippines would have crushed Aguinaldo's insur- rection before 1t had time to grow formidable. In fact, all danger is now removed from warfare against pure- ly savage enemies. So tremendous, in- deed. is the power of this new engine of war that civilized nations will have to see to it that it Is not abused and employed as a means of expressing and terrorizing helpless native popula tons.

CENTRAL HEATING MAKES GOOD

 aer.ss ,sm ssa.a sna pass s S = attractive in principle, especially as fuel difficulties increase and so often fails in practice, that an analysis of one thoroughly successful installation of this kind Is well worth while. In the unusual undertaking under consideration. success has attended the financial as well as the service side of the operation; and fur ther interest is contributed by the fact that it is a municipally owned and con- ducted utility. which takes care of the electric lighting demand and the local water supply as well as the community heating.
 The village of Waterloo, Wis. in which this service is installed, has a popula- tion around 1,6O0, and boasts three blocks of business buildings. mostly two-story. The central plant is about 300 feet from the center of this group.

* # # Evidences of Thrift of American People

1T JUDGING by the evidences of the O thrift among the American people it must have been a very de- cided minority that did the reckless spending during and after the war.
 Savings banks figures for 1920 show that 45 out of every 100 per- sons in Greater New York have sav- ings accounts. The average deposit per inhabitant based on the 1920 cen- sus population of 5,621, ,151, is $325.93, while the average deposit of the 2,559,840 depositors is $715.72.
 The inhabitants of community in- clude the men, women and children, the e-year-old babes, the blind, the lame, the inmates of asylums, the helpless and dependent of all kinds. When, therefore, 45 per cent of the entire population have savings ac- counts and these average more than $7O0, it is the same as saying that the adult and wage-earning mass of the community is of the saving turn. : Americas recklessness has always been more superficial than otherwise. When an American does spend money, he spends it like prince. He spends with the same whole-heartedness that he puts into the making of money. In all his spending he keeps a wary eye on his bank balance. Americans spend much, because they make and have much, but they are not a spend thrift nation. So long as the bal ance is on the credit side, that charge cannot apply.
 ; Savings deposits in Alabama banks have made record increases in the 7 past decade. The people have a splendid reserve with which to do business. As soon as confidence is fully re-established, that money will be available!

GREENWICH VILLAGE GRAFT

Raymon c. Carroll. in Philadelphia
 Public Ledger.
 New York-Those who fancy Green wich villagers as simple, idealsuc' impractical folk are due for an en- lightenment. In the district of crook ed streets, colored lights and queer clothes everything is made to yield substantial revenue. For instance, the gawky- looking man with watery blue eyes, uncut tangled hair. cor duroy suit and shabby shoes who came to our table at the Greenwich Inn last night proffering some univiting "soul candy" in colors at 25 cents a pack age.
 "You people look as if you needed inspiration" he began with an en- gazing leer. Better try some ether cal candy-don't fear. made 1t my self. The different pieces of sweets produce the same effects in one lucky enough to eat of them, as the differ ent harmonies of music do."
 Then he read us poem, also bad.
 
 CTS had done all around us. However, Junior" who is possessed of most inquiring mind, would not let him es- cape. He asked: This Is very ma terial world, brother, and would you mind telling us how many of these packages you sell each night? Not exactly fair question, but you look good natured enough to reply"
 The maker of "soul candy" grinned until his mouth hung like a hammock between his ears. He answered: "I sell 200 packages every single night. Now, there, I have told you secrets, and you know my business"
 Just think of it--$50 night which means $350 a week, and no store rent to pay The net profit is easily 80 per cent, for there were only five small pieces of candy, each less than the size of domino, in 25-cent package Profiteering? No. Simply typical case of Greenwich villaging, which for sheer au1acity puts white wings upon profiteering.

 The entire cost of this plant, ready for service, was $12,2oo. For the first season the heating division of the utility had only four customers, but they were largo, and paid in $5os for i've months service. Now there arc 4S heating cus- toners, including two who use high-pres- sure steam Additions of connections and meters for tho new subscribers have brought the plant valuation up to N31H. and the total net income last season was $14,85. On these figures. 1t is calculated that tho plant now has paid for itsslr after four years of operation, and that consumers have enjoyed . price for their heat equivalent to x.so ton for the best grade of Illinois coal. if ussd in their own furnaces. This is computed to represent saving of about S.0o . year.
 The remarkable succees of this instaifa- tion is attributed to the fact that sxpert engineering attention was given to Its design and arrangement, based cn . critical study of local conditions. Ana conversely. 1t is argued that the nurher- ous failures of similar attempts, large and small, arc due solely to the com mon lack of tho technical consideration demanded by any public-utility under taking as the reasonable prics of satis- factory service and investment rs<uxns, It ts interesting to note. in cnnchsion. that an installation of tho same kind is now being made in Befviders, ni.. city of some 5000 population
