An Indianapolis accountant, who is
of English birth, says that when he
arrived in the United States several
years ago, he did not propose to per-
NIT himself to be imposed on.
When he landed he gave his hand

hotel. When he reached the hotel, he
asked the porter what the charge was
for carrying the baggage.

reply.
"Now look here" said the traveller,

going to give you so cents and you'll
have to be satisfied with that. It's
all you get"

Umbrella Sign. Of Married Man.

You can tell married man by the
umbrella he checks, asserts the young
capitalist who presides over the cloak
room of family restaurant. If he
has two weather sticks, one heavy,
cheap affair, that was purchased with
the idea of being soon lost, and the
other of finer material, it's sure bet
that he's married.
According to this psychologist, mar
ried folks when they start out in the
rain each carries his own umbrella so
they can have the minimum Of incon-
venience and retain a maximum of
dryness. In the prenuptial times the
male Of the species would never hear
Of the woman battling the winds alone.
He would carry the umbrella over her
and get wet himself. But they're mar.
ried now, and that makes q difference.

No Place for Tobacco Fiend..

As a precaution against forest fires,
smoking has been entirely prohibited
in any part of the Olympic national
forest in Washington. The area COW
cred by the mo smoking" order
mounts to about $4,000 acres. The
period Of this prohibition is to be de-
termined by the district forester at
Portland, Oregon. The urgent reason
for this action is due to the fact that
the area was largely swept by a cy-
clone during the last winter and the
ground is covered with broken trees
and branches of trees SO that If fire
were to get any Roadway at all, 1T
would be difficult to check it.

used to illustrate the subjects
treated.
One of the most commendable fea-
lures of the book is the very definite
information IL gives concerning the
capacities OF different types Of radio
sets. Wireless telephony has spread
over the country like an epidemic.
Too many manufacturers have
taken advantage Of this great wave
of enthusiasm to make misleading
or false claims for ready-made sets.
Mr.. Verrill describes thoroughly the
advantages and shortcomings Of the
various types of sets and his book
should prove very helpful to pros
pective purchasers of radio sets as
well as TO the fan who wants the
fun of making his own set The
modern miracle OF radio has evoked
great deal OF literature designed
to meet the needs of the amateur.
but Mr.. Verrill's contribution on the
subject is one OF the sanest and
most serviceable yet produced.

r ERE are adventures, indeed.
- SanEre y orc! Gold and bull
i i let's and laughter and fair
ladies and a belly empty of food but
with a great digestion for hard
ships. Above all. the invincible
burgeoning of youth. There is
nothing unusual in the plot. But
then there are only nine plots in the
world, you know. And Mr.. Hallet
has written his story with a brio
and gusto and humor as rare in
current fiction as brandy in the con-
temporary mince pie.
1t is the story Of "Bobolink" Nc

acute lust for adventure: May

not forget Incarnation. supple

The book is crammed with priceless
gayety and is living proof THAI II is
not so much the matter as the man
ner that makes diverting reading.
1t rises to the lyric in spots and
there are touches worthy of o.
Henry. The very bits of cynicism
contain a chuckle. A quotation to
example: You see the irony of a
mans fate thrusting him out of
bed early when his luck is hard or
his brain thick. What ghost of in
dustry is it that starts these poor
devils from their dreams at an hour
when even a radish would come out
of its bed hard" Another linger-
ing smile is found in the descrip-
tion of a kiss. The act is foolish
but the sensation is grand" Mr..
Hallet has given us a book of flavor
and charm and the irresponsible
zest of one-and-twenty. 1t is a
treat. But IL would have been more
of a treat II he had held just a bit
closer to the verities of life instead
OF patterned fiction.
