Convicted BY the Bible.

Law founded on the Bible is good
enough for Mayor Gilmore of Morgan
town, W. Va
A local man charged with not hav-
ing the tail light burning on his auto
mobile was arraigned before the may
or. who assessed fine of So.
The accused protested, said it was
a poor law under which he was fined
and that he did not think it would hold
water in court.
The mayor declared any law found
ed on the Bible was good enough for
him. The defendant said he couldn't
see where tail light had anything to
do with the Bible. The mayor looked
pityingly at the accused, and said:
do you remember the tale about
the ten virgins. five of whom had lights
and five Of whom didn't? Well. If you
do you will remember that the. Lord
wouldn't have anything to do with the
five without lights, and neither will

PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL
New Metho,., Said to Have Originated
in Russia, May Result in Reliev-
ing Shortage.

A new method of drying turf to re-
Heve the serious fuel shortage in Fin
land has been put in operation in vari-
GUS Scandinavian countries. The new
method was invented by engineers
working under orders from the Rus
sian soviet government, to find more
labor-saving method of preparing turf
as fuel for the great central power sta
ton near Moscow, the process being
made known in Finland through an es-
Gaping engineer. The fundamental
principle Of the process is quite sim
pie. The raw turf in the swamp, by a
powerful jet of water under pressure
OF 70 atmospheres, is freed from all
old roots and changed to thin mud.
This is pumped out on drying field
and spread in layers. When sufficient
ly dry it is cut into bricks of uniform
size by means of a tractor. The turf
pump is constructed like an ordinary
water turbine, is reversible with aid of
electric motor, is equipped with cut
ting apparatus which completes the
work of the water jet, and can be
raised or lowered as the surface of the
mud varies The entire equipment is
mounted ON car which can be pushed
forward or backward on rails along the
line of work.-Scientific American.

1t looks as If the problem of the

After, much insistence on the part
of some public-spirited officials spe-
cial school for boys of this class has
been opened in the envlrons Of Cairo,
where they will be looked after and

their having committed some crime to
admit them into the reformatory, pre-
viousiy the only institution of the kind.
Nothing so far has been done for the
girl children, though another home is
promised for this purpose. 1t is there

nonsectarian and international, with
the object of looking after and i'm

Progressed by Slow STAGES.

Thirty years ago the men OF Hart
shay, hamlet of Derbyshire, England
were accustomed to meet at bridge
on the edge of the town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
events. This was all right in summer
time, but in the winter it was differ
ent and they would occasionally adj
journ to sheltered spot under the
bridge. From this they moved into c
vacated pigsty and later annexed an
other pigsty. This rude building was
improved by their own efforts until it
was a fairly comfortable place. From
this humble origin there is now a
rather pretentious library, with the
best papers and magazines. and q
stock of good: books.

NEckTIE HALTED A ROMANCE
Lovers Who Had Been Apart for
Forty Years Made Up When Man
Wore Woman's Present.

Forty years ago John Enmons and
Charity Timmons of Bishopvtlle, DEL,
were twenty years old and sweet
hearts. With her own hands Miss
T1mmons made necktie as a Gift for
her young gallant. The evening of
the day he received it Emmons put it
on. He didn't like the coors and re-
placed it.
AS usual. he visited Miss Timmons
that evening, according to Selhy-
vile (Del.) dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. It was nice summer
night. The moon revealed that he
was not wearing loves token and Miss
T1mmons demanded the reason, n
Its too loud" replied the youth.
DO you mean you will never wear
1t? Then you don't love me-" sobbed
the girl, and she went into the house.
That apparently was the end of the
romance. Emmons went to Portland,i
Ore, and prospered. AS the owner of
q big department store in the far
Northwestern city, he returned to
Bishopville last Christmas for visit:
1t was inevitable that he should
meet his former sweetheart in the vii
lage. Soon each learned that the old
love would not die; that each had con-
sidered the other the only mate and
that neither had married.
OF course, Emmons proposed Miss.
Timmons did not refuse him, but she
bought tie as nearly like the one
that started all the trouble as she
could find. Then, when he wore 1t
without flinching, she coyly murmured
yes" And so they were married the
other evening.
