When Berlin Wanted Dark Streets,

When Berlin Wanted Dark Streets.
Street lighting is ethically wrong be-
cause it is an open defiance of Deity
to turn night into day-day should be
day and night should be night!
In case some old-fashioned citizen
Of Kansas City made this startling
statement he would in all probability
be declared insane and be placed where
he could not voice any other senti-
ments of similar nature. Yet this
argument antedates street lighting it,
self.
Historians and students on munich
pal affairs tell us that this argument
was one Of the most powerful ones
against the installation of street lights
in Berlin In 1920. Conservative people
Of that city. deemed it an act against
Providence to light the streets of Ber-
lin with gas lights. when God had or
dained that their section Of the hemi-
sphere should be dark.-Kansas City

Great Wall Of China.

An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the Great Wall of China
was made at Shan-hai-kwan by a
chemist attached to the Bureau of Sci
ence at Manila. He reports that the
bricks are so weak that pieces may
be broken off with the fingers.
They are much larger than ordinary
building bricks, gray in color, and
resemble pumice somewhat in struc.
ture. The mortar, which is pure white
under the exposed surface, is much
stronger than the bricks. The tradi-
tion that the bricks were dried in the
sun only has been confirmed by labora-
tory tests. If they had been dried in
kiln the appearance of the wall
would have been considerably differ.
erent and Its strength and durability
would have been much greater.

CAME BACK TO OLD HOME
Intelligent Horse Made Her Way for
Many Miles to Quarters Which
She Preferred.

My father was very fond of horses
which l remember particularly was
beautiful, gentle black horse-a PAGER,
which he named "Blackie." He was
very fond Of her, as well as she of
him. He allowed no one to abuse her
and always took the best care of her.
She was petted and loved and given as
much care as child She was one of
my fathers favorite horses and was
the mother of one fine colt, of whom
she was indeed proud.
At one time she was i'll and my
father sent her out to pasture in
the country. One dark December night
a cold north wind blew and a light
snow was falling. About midnight
my father was aroused from his sleep
by strange noise. Did horse whin.
ny? Now he heard the unmfstakable
whinny of horse, at which fhe arose
and went out into the night. There,
upon the front lawn, to his astonish-
ment stood Blackie, who, hearing his
approach, came to meet him. She
nestled her head affectionately against
his shoulder, and whinnied, as much
as to say, II was cold and came home.
l very much prefer my own bed" My
father took her to the stable and made
her quite comfortable and did not
again take her away.
AS Blackie could open any gate, she
had come home over the familiar road,
distance of several miles.-Marie

Public Economy Motto of
Republican Administration
Operating Expenses of Government Re-
duced Nearly One Half by Republican
Congress Working in Harmony With
Executive Department
U. s. REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN Il. MADDEN
(ILLINOIS), CHAIRMAN HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON APPROPRIATIONS

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $6,l50 900, and the ap-
preparations made under these esti-
mates by Republican Congress
amounted to $A.7S9, 100000, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year of s1,4oO, 100000.
The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
We're $500, 100000, and the appropria.
tons made under these estimates by
Republican Congress were reduced
to $4,o65, 100000, showing an approx
mate saving Of $1,6oOo00,o0
The estimates for the fiscal year
1923 submitted by President Harding
amount to $3,S53, 100000, and the ap.
preparations, when completed, will
probably be $500, 100000, or 1858 S,0OO.-
000 less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
to come it will not be possible to run
the Government for less than $780,
100000 per annum. This seems like
a very large sum, but when it is real
lied that we have three fixed charges,
consisting Of interest on the public
debt. sinking fund, and maintenance
of the Veterans Bureau, which were
created by the war and amount to ap-
proAimately S2,000,0 100000 per annum,
it Will be seen that the other expenses
of the Government have been reduced
by the Republican administration to
s1,500. 600 coo.
The annual cost Of the Government
before the war was $1,25O,O00,O
Thus it will be seen that the present
cost, aside from the fixed charges re.
ferred to- is but $250,0O0,0O0 in excess
of pre-war cost, and at least $150,000,-
900 Of this is accounted for by the
normal increase in the business of the
postal service, leaving but S10O,O0O,OO0
Of expense for ordinary purposes in
excess OF pre-war costs.

HUSBAND To WASHTUBs
Court Sentences Him to Help Wife
There Until He Gets Job.


There Until He Gets Job.
Judge George II. Heitiy Of Hunting
ton, w. Va, established a precedent
when he sentenced James Alexander,
defendant in Domestic Relations court,
to duty at his wife's waslltubs.
Alexander was arrested by Sheriff
Williams on complaint Of Hattie Alex
ander, his wife, that he failed to sup
port her and that instead of being u
help he was dependent upon her earn
ings from washing clothes.
When arraigned, Alexander pleaded
lack of employment. After hearing
the evidence Of the wife, Judge Hef-
fey ordered that the "court, after
hearing all the evidence, is of the
opinion that the defendant is guilty
as Charged. He is ordered released
from custody of the sheriff and di-
rected to return home and assist his
wife with her washing until such time
as he can find employment elsewhere
that will enable him to properly sup
port his family"

I Any one who has followed the con.
duct of the Government since Mr..
Harding's induction into the presi.
dency must marvel at the rapidity
with which the cost of government has
been reduced. 1t is the constant aim
of the administrative and legislative
branches of the government, all in con.
troll of the Republican Party, to ad-
minister the affairs of the. Government
on strictly business basis, expend.
ing not single dollar for any purpose
not essential to the Nations needs.
The one thing on which all are agreed
is rigid economy in Government ex.
penditure, and nothing can more forci-
bly, portray the story of accomplish
ment achieved in this direction than
the statement that costs have been
reduced to the extent above indicated.
One billion, five hundred and seven.
teen million have been expended on
the care of the wounded and sick SOL
diers of the World War up to Febru
ary 1st, last, indicating that nothing
has been left undone to provide for
the care and comfort of the men who
gave themselves to the country in it's
hour of need.
The country is to be congratulated
on having Mr.. Harding in the presi.
dency. The problems handed down to
him from the war complicated though
they are, have been solved in the in,
terest of the people. He has had the
vision to see, the patriotism to do, and
the courage and ability to achieve. His
devotion to the Nations needs has
been the admiration of all who have
watched him. He has been Jealous,
painstaking, patriotic, untiring and un-
selfish, and he has had and will have
the hearty cooperation of the Con-
gress in his efforts to put the country
or stable basis. Nineteen hundred
and twenty three will find America the
only country in the world living within
its income. The people have reason to
rejoice at this accomplishment of their
President and their Congress.

When these changes are made, II
follows that the same day in each
week will always fall on the same
four fixed dates each month, so that
each weekday name will always de-
note Its monthly dates, and vice versa,
as the standard month" would then
apply to all months.

Referring to the Illustrations given
herewith: Stonehenge, the collection
of great monoliths in England whose
purpose was so long mystery. is now
known to have been for calendar pur.
poses. Sir Norman Lockyear has cal.
culated that the so-called Sunrise
Stone" was erected about 1880 B. G,
The pyramids were erected by the
ancient Egyptians in order to meas.
ure the shortest noon-shadOws, that
the days between might be counted.
The sphinx played its part in the cal
culations by which the Egyptians
reckoned a year of 365 days and a
fraction. Thus the pyramids were
built to safeguard the life of Egypt,
which depended upon utilizing the
Nile valleys advantages by applying
calendar knowledge to agriculture.
The various pyramids were used as
tombs for Pharaohs only after each
one except the one In use had been
superseded by a more perfectly sloped
pyramid.
1.-THE Standard Month" and the "Day
Pointer" below it practically explain
themselves. "Sol," it will be noted, is
twenty-eight days, four complete
weeks. Every month is to be like it
and will be licked off by the DAY
Pointer"
The calendars for January and Feb
ruary Of 1922 show unequal months
split the weeks at month-ends most
awkwardly, causing many inconveni-
ences.
The remaining figure of monthly
dates show the broken weekly range
In 1922, which includes 40 complete
and 81 broken weeks, including also
the odd day, December 81. The latter
by being Sunday, like January 1,
forces the inconvenient change Of
weekday names In all the months and
years which follow. This shows the
need of a monthly measure In which
the day names are fixed" as to the
numerical dates.
