WHAT SHAPE HAS MOTH HOLE?
On This by No Means Simple Question Hangs Result of an Omaha IaWsuit.

On whether a moth makes an OblOng hole or round hole when he sinks his mOlars into the more succulent DOT tions of dads last winter OvercOat or sisters summer fUrs, hinges a Yaw suit in Justice Collins court, brought by an Omaha store against Miss Jose phine Hill of Council Bluffs. The store seeks to enforce payment for an $50 suit which Miss Hill is alleged to have purchased, says the World-Her aid.
 According to the girls testimony, : week after she bought the suit she r found a moth hole in it. She returned f it to the store. The suit was mended and given back to her with instruc- tiOns to wear it 30 days and bring it back at the end of that time if not satisfactory.
 i Miss Hill testified she wore the suit for 30 days, placing it carefully on hanger in her closet each night. At the end of the specified period, examina- tiOn, she said, revealed not one but a whole community of holes. She re- fused to pay for the suit, and the store took the case into court.
 After one clerk for the store told the court the holes complained of couldn't be meth holes, because any self-re- spective moth eats a round hole, while those under discussion were distinctly Obloig, and after Miss Hill had made an exhibition of the holes and another clerk had suggested that Miss Hill might have worn the holes in the skirt by rubbing against her type writer desk, Justice Collins looked wise and took the matter under ad- YiSpmpnt

TERM THAT BANISHED ANGER
Maids" Put Further Animosity Out of the Question.

The two Elton sisters, age thirty and thirtYStWO and very successful business women, live next door to the Smith sisters, about fifty and tifty-twO, who are also retired and given to the Occu- pations of crocheting and guilt piec- ing. The Elton sisters speak of them selves as "Old maids" and the Smith sisters as ''pesky old maids," in order to distinguish between them. Also they are given to much pityiRg of the secOnd-class ladies.
 But the other evening one of the Elton sisters, clad lin a bungalow apron, was out sprinkling the lawn. AS she moved around the house she heard the Smiths in conversation. "Yes, sister, age has it's compensa- tions," one was saying. "Now look at those girls next door. They no sooner get home than they get into those aprons, so scanty that they are immodest. Of course, they're just kids, but still" -.sa.
 That was enough for Miss Elton. With a rush she was in the house.
 "Oh, Grace" she told her sister, breathlessIy, 'those Smiths are real nice. We've got to stop calling them pesky old naids.''
 And now generously the EltOns speak of them as ''the other old maids"

Thread in Manchurla

Almost all of the $2,OOO.OOO worth of cotton thread imported annually into Manchuria comes from Japan, partly because Japanese manufacturers have the advantage over possible competi. tors of government encouragement and support, and partly because there has been little competition from those sui. f1ciently interested in this market to study its requirements as have the Japanese, says the New York Times.
 Goods were placed with merchants on consignment until they became known. were extensively advertised, and are now sold on liberal credit ba. sis, so that American manHfacturer entering the market will not only have to compete on quality basis, but should adopt similar methods of push ing their goods.

JOURNAL PRINTED BY INDIANS
cherokees Once Had a Newspaper That May Be Said to Have Be-
 come a Power.

The Cherokee Indians, when still Oc- cupying what now is the state of Geor- gia, published a newspaper in their na- tive tongue in 1928. One of their tribe, SeQuOyah by name, in 1923 designed 86 characters that were to represent the Cherokee language in print. The national committee and council of the tribe meeting at New EchOta, the cap ital Of their nation, in 1926, voted a fund to buy type, a press and the nee essary equipment. The paper was known as the Cherokee Phoenix. Half of 1t was printed in Cherokee and half in English. Hundreds of full-bloOd h. dians who otherwise would have re- mained illiterate all their lives, were thus enabled to read after mastering the alphabet. These Indians became subscribers of the paper, as did mem- bers of neighbOring states, and the pa per became power.
 The Phoenix was "known in Eu- rope" and among other famous pa pers that asked to be placed on the exchange list was the London Times. The paper was in operation for about i've years, and was harassed when the movement having for its object the re- mOval of the Cherokee Indians vest ward was at it's height. It suspended publication when the Georgia state legislature forbid a white man to live among the Cherokees.
 The honor of becoming the first h. dian editor fell to Elias BOudinOt, native-bOrn citizen of the nation.

lceberu Was an Acrobat.

Not far from the spot where the IT. tanic was sunk by an iceberg in April, 1912, a fleet of IA icebergs, some of them rising to more than 100 feet above the water line, were sig Ged by the steamship Munaires on a recent voyage.
 Captain Fleming of the Munalres says that one of the .bergs gave a re markable exhibition of tumbling as the vessel sailed past. It had apparently lost a good deal of Its under water weight through the action of the warn sea water, and as they watched it the great iceberg suddenly tipped to star board and rolled over with an immense splash. AS it fell, big section of the top broke away, with the result that the balance was altered and the berg tumbled back again. Then, just as il was fighting itself. another section broke off, and it tumbled once more The sight was most unusual one.- Edinburgh ScOtsman9-~

News dispatches from Copenhagen state that there is a possibility of the establishment of a republic in Den mark, the little cOulary that has been monarchy since King HeaIfdene ruled

Loop.EIevated AerIaIs.

An extensive research on radio transmissiOns and reception with vari ous types of aerials has been in prog. ress at the bureau of standards, Wash ingtOn, D. C., says the Scientific American. One of the most interesting questions at the present time is as to the relative advantages of the antenna, or usual type of elevated aerial, and the smaller coil aerial or Hoop" This question is answered by the studies of the bureau. The small coil aerial has many advantages, but is usually laOt so powerful transmitting and receiving device as the antenna type of aerial. It may, however, have so much lower resistance than the antenna that it is equal to 1t in transmitting and rereiv, ing value.

 "HOw much mOney?" inquired John.
 "A lot. It's nearly hundred dol lars n0w."
 John Hansen took from his pocket a slim roll of bills, divided It, and handed her the larger part. As if dazed, the girl took the money and slipped it into her dress.
 "You be at the big station In New York for train at ten o'clock tomor- row mOrnin'," John said rising.
 When the next afternoon boat from Boston had made fast at her Hardy port wharf John Hansen and Fannie crossed the gangplank together and walked slowly up HarbOr street.

Once more he duly studied the showy dress. the too abundant frizzed and curled yellow hair, the powder blOtched cheeks, the hard lips, and the bold, brilliant eyes.
 ., Then he thought of Christina, and his heart rose slowly in protest.
 This tainted, NOUng-Old, made-up creature-what had she in common with him? Why should he give up for her the clear-eyed. clean-skinned girl he wanted-the only girl he wanted on the shores of the seven seas? What claim had this brass-tOngued woman upon him? "Aye," he added aloud. But ban fool and I have to pay"
 "What say?" queried Fan.
 "Fannie"-he spoke steadily-"yOU an me ban promised four years ago. When came in from that trip an found you gone to New York ! didn't follow"
 Fannie was gazing at him from un> der half-shut eyelids, but made no re- ply.
 John Hansen continued:
 Year ago I know better, but I'll stow that now. I ban older than you, and tank my place to stand between you an the wind. Now I ban gOin' to pay"
 'You mean," she whispered-"yOu mean-yOun marry me nOw-after- in spite of everything?"
 He nodded silently, and for a few moments she gazed into his eyes.
 "JOhn Hansen" !" she calculated finally. You're a fool! You're as big a baby as you were four years ago! You need some one to take care of you. I'll marry you"
 As he opened his mouth she cut off his words with a wave of her hand. 'I'll marry you, yes, on one cOndi- tion. That is, that you're not in love with any other girl. Are yOu?'' she snapped.
 'T-I-" began the bewildered John.
 ''You are! Then, John Hansen, you can have her. I don't love you. I don't want you or any other man. You were sent to me, an you've brought me home an given me back this."
 She waved her hand toward the town and the sea.
 "You've given me back this. I'll give you back your girl. Now go to her"
