AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.

Have you noticed the trend of move
ment in this country? 1t is worth a
thought or two.
Booze is down and out, though
fighting for a chance to stand again.
Tobacco is a target for the crusad-
ers, who are determined that it shall
follow booze.
Motor cars are flattening out the
churches to such an extent that it is
difficult to obtain an old time Sunday
congregation.
Only three counts of the many, but
they tell the velocity of the wind of
change and the way it blows.
Every few days we read in the
daily press of the desperate plight of
some disabled ex-service man, or
many of them.
When these men marched away to
war the plaudits of nation were
ringing in their ears.
Since their return they have not re-
ceived the assistance the nation owes
them, but indifference and neglect in
stead
Billions for American pleasure, and
a pittance for gratitude.
Truly, it is not an admirable trait.
A great Chicago banker is out in
an interview in which he sees busi-
ness on the recovery"
Other bankers have made the same
statement, many times repeated.
But it will take something more
than statements to put business back
where it belongs.
Raw materials and wage conditions
will have to be adjusted before any
great amount of manufacturing will
be done, and prices of all other COM
modities will have to hit the new lev
ell before there can be any free and
unrestricted interchange of business
activity.
1t will come in time, but time is
more than a day.
"Seeing business on the road to re-
covery" is good, but feeling it is bet
ter.
Now that the country is beginning
to forget what Mr.. Lansing said, it
might be interesting to hear what Mr..
Wilson has to say.
Mr.. Lansing, as you remember,
wrote book and gave some inside
information regarding the doings of
our American delegates to the peace
conference.
The country talked and the news
papers roared for period of two
and half days. Then we promptly
forgot all about Mr.. Lansing and his
book and the peace conference in or
der to imbibe all of the thrills of the
latest divorce scandal. .....
Probably by this time Mr.. Lansing
has himself has forgotten what he
wrote about.
We are a forgetful people. we
crave change to the exclusion OF ev-
erything else.
The sensation of today is as dead
tomorrow as the golden rule.
If Mr.. Wilson doesn't dish up his
reply soon we'll probably forget to
even read it.

Sing Sing Indian Name.

Sing Sing prison, the stone, or
rather dolomite marble bastile at Os-
shining, n. Y, is rather appropriately
named, according to authorities who
trace the word back to the Indian Ian
guage, and find that it means stony
place. The town itself was originally
called Sing Sing. 1t is beautifully sit
uated on the Hudson and commands,
from its elevated site, many fine views

and attribute the name of the city to

1926, when Capt. Elan Lynds took 100
convicts there and gave them orders
to wall themselves in.
In 1901 the town, after several I'M
successful attempts, changed its name
to Ossining, because of objections due
to the association of its name with the

PLINY CREDITED WITH YARN
ancient Roman Said to Have origina-
ted Remarkable Story Concern
ing Habits of Tiger.

According to Pliny, when a hunter
wished to catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with a very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve "When the
tigress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and ira ks them by the smell.
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one of the whelps to her, with
which she returns to her lair. Then she
rushes back, and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his ship"
Equally interesting is the account in
the "Physiologus" which explains that
1.-THE hart desireth the water brooks"
because it had been inhaling the breath
of dragons. So having filed its stom-
ach from the brook, it browns the
dragon out of its hole and Stays it with
its antlers.
Unicons seem to have given much
trouble in those days, and were exter-
minated in most unspOrtsmanlike
fashion. 1.-THE hunters place a virgin
near the spot where the unicorn has it's
abode. The unicorn, seeing her, runs
and places its head in her lap, doing
her no harm" This very natural ac-
ton proves his undoing, for then com
eth the hunter and killeth it,"
Here is the reverse of the picture {:
But if she be not a pure maid the uni
corn will not sleep, but killeth her"
This legend is also carved at Chester
England.

TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS
Films Embracing One Thousand Top
les, for Use of All Legion
Organizations.

BY arrangement between the Amer
lean Legion and the bureau of com
mercial economics. the most complete
and valuable collection of educational
and travel motion picture films in ex-
tstence will be placed at the disposal
of the Legion for free exhibition un-
der the auspices of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1000 separate
topics are the property of the bureau,
alt altruistic institution the sole aim
OF which is to advance education and
pride In American institutions
AT The instance of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared a
special catalogue In which each film
Is numbered and described. A copy
of this catalogue will become the prop
erty of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
films will be the payment of express
charges to and from the nearest dis
tributing center of the bureau. No nd
mission fee may be charged by the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established in almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission of the catalogues and the in
formation concerning the location of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The story of the establishment of
the bureau of commercial economies
is that of fulfiIlment of VOW which
blind man took years ago, should his
sight be restored. DR. Francis Hol-
ley, the founder and director of the
bureau, vowed to work for the bet
torment of mankind when he recov-
cred his sight, and the brueau is the
result.

Unhappy Ant Queen Is eoss.d

Like hens, most species of ants
have queen, and, not unlike human
queens, she leads an existence that
is not always happy. She is sur
rounded by courters, who, on the sur
face, are her humble slaves, and not
only feed her, but act as her escort
wherever she goes. But let the queen
take it into her head to go some
where else than the spot picked by
the workers, and she soon finds out
that the state is greater than the in
dividual. The circle of courtiers that
surround her step briskly up and give
her sharp bites until she agrees to
their wishes and takes the path they
have planned

LAKE IS NATURAL WONDER
Body Of Water That Has Many Re-
markable Qualities Is Found in
North Australia.

Lake Eyre Is one of the wonders of
the continent. The district is actually
below the level of the sea, yet in the
near neighborhood of the lake are
some fine springs of water that may
be considered fresh in that cattle will
drink from them. SO, too, can drovers,
though the water has a medicinal eff

appraisal of its value.
In the center of the lake is An
island of rare beauty. A legend Is

Northern territory, one of the more

the cattle party had gone. That

concerned.
One of the peculiarities of the wa

anything thrown into it. 1t Is exceed

GILL BAT TERY'S DEMONSTRATING MANY FEATURES

'Well, guess Lam a poor fish until I get a Gill,| remarked a man to Marshall A. Moody of the Titan Battery company. the other day after Mir. Moody had demonstrated this new separatorless battery in a most convincing manner.
 That is the feeling of many peo- pie I have met since I have been sell ing this remarkable battery here" continued MT. Moody. "As soon as a motorist sees the big differnce in the working of the battery, he imme- diately asks himself the question. Why have we been putting up with separators so long, when they are cause of so much annoyance and ex- penseT
 "The Gill battery Is no different in working principle than any other battery, except by a different man. ner of construction, the separators have been eliminated with results that are advantageous from the standpoint of economy, long life, and satisfactory service. The plates in the Gill battery are high, narrow and thick, and are assembled cross-wise of the jar, instead of lengthwise as in other batteries. Because of this con- struction, separators = necessary evil in other batteries-are a useless obstruction in the Gill.

No car can build up such a tre- mendous public confidence as repre- scented in Buicl production and sales unless that car has fully satisfied the motoring public" declares MT. Strong. No single quality in a car, it Is ap- parent. can bring this about; the car must measure up to public demand in every respect
 Whether car owners are conscious of it or not, the chassis and mechan- ism of car are the most vital parts, and Buick for 21 years has consist ently and unswervingly developed it's we'll defined engineering principles. This mechanical soundness of Buick is one reason for the position at the front which Buick occupies today.
 The economy of Buick ownership is represented in three things. each of almost equal importance-low up- keep. high resale value and the na- tionwide service maintained by the Buick Motor company.
 Buick mechanical excellence means minimum of repairs and replace ments.
 "The noted high resale value of Buick indicates very slow deprecia- ton and an economy on trade-ins that is apparent on the face of it.
 ''The third economy, resulting from authorized rvice everywhere, which returns every Buick car to its own CT in the shortest possible time, pro- vides as nearly as possible uninter- rupted service.
 And the filial factor in Buick sales is the public knowledge that Buick responsibility follows every Buick car to make sure that every Buick owner gets full return on his invest ment."
