ORGANIZE TO STOP SWEARING
Verona, Italy, Society Uses Many
Means TO Suppress the Use Of
Profanity.

Some idealists in Verona, italy, or
ganized some time ago a society for
the suppression Of bad language. They
assert that swearing already has been
reduced rs per cent and that In Is
years 1t will have entirely disappeared.
Every means Of propaganda is used,
including posters and notices on pub
lie buildings, railway stations, schools,
barracks, ETC., and showers Of leaflets
from airplanes and imitation bombs In
firework exhibitions.
The notices are varied, picturesque
and adapted to circumstances. Here
are some of them:
Dante orders you not to offend the
land of song by oaths."
"Be careful! If you swear, your
children will despise you and civilized
society will cast you out!"
Profanity is a short circuit"
At football club huge printed mo-
tices urge the players to "Give a kick
to swearing" and to MAKE many goals,
but not one OATH"
The committee wants guards and po-
ucemen empowered to take the names
and addresses of individuals who are
overheard using bad language In the
streets, names and addresses to be
posted up to public scorn in the greas
central square of Verona.

HORSE NOT YET pETHRoNED
Nobisst 81 Animals Can Still De Rscit-
snsd Monarch OF the state
and County Fairs-

The return Of the state and county
fairs is reminder that about the only
place where the horse can hold his
own Is on the race track. For al
though automobiles have invaded even
the spot so long sacred to the trotter
and PAGER, they have not become gen.
orally popular. Automobile races are
the exception, at big resorts like the
Florida beaches not the curiosity Of
the county and town fairs. Here the
horse Is king. The fact Is notable,
because 1t must be admitted that this
faithful steed Is fading away from
the highways and the farm to a de-
gree that the prophets of horseless
age are no longer SO much discredited
as they were.
One may travel for miles on our
highways and seldom pass team"
meaning any kind of horse-drawn
vehicle. They are as scarce In the
roads as the OK was decade ago.
They are disappearing more and more
on the farms, also thanks to cheap
tractors, which are being improved
for greater variety of work with
pneumatic and hard-rubber tires. and
which have strong tendency to drive
the horse into oblivion for all draft
purposes. Ten years ago most people
would have laughed at horseless
age. But those who read, even as
they motor, must admit the plausibil
ity of the prophecy-barring, as we
have said, the race. track.-Lewiston

BIG HELP TO HAvlGAToRs
RadIe Service on the Great Lakes Has
Proved Effective In Saving Time
and Money.

More than 1000 hours of operating
time. worth at conservative estimate
$15O.000, has been saved to navigating
interests on the Great Lakes In a
single season by means Of the radio
advices sent out from one OF the
smaller weather bureau stations on the
lakes. There Is no way of ascertain
ing definitely how large is the total
saving effected by the Great Lakes
radio weather service, which Is one of
the many activities of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Vessels are not only warned Off the
lakes because of approaching storms,
but they are also advised when 1t is
safe to proceed and what route to take
to avoid heavy seas and adverse cur
rents. When boats are idle the over
head expense averages $50 an hour,
and may be much higher.
A large fleet of 40 boats anchored
near Mackinaw. Mich, for example,
would not have left before s p. m. had
not radio advice assured the leader
that it would be safe to proceed at
D. m. This difference in time meant
a saving of at least $4,000 to the ship
owners. At another time so boats
sheltered at Detour, Mich, were ad-
vised that conditions would permit
them to start Immediately instead of
10 to 16 hours later. The saving here
was estimated at S37 800.
Last September a steamer assisted
by tug was grounded, outside Its
regular channel The captain was In
formed by the local weather bureau
that the water would not return to
normal till the next morning, and sus-
pended operations, which were COM
pleted In q few minutes when condi-
tions were right. Five hundred dol
lars for tug hire alone was saved.
