Of it along about the 3ist instant.
If YOU have purchased n lizzie on the
pay-as-you-can style and fail to keep
the said payments flowing sercnely
along, she politely reminds you that
perhaps the triile has been forgotten
in the rush to earn a living. As long

Appalnchia High School, and in 1921

CROWDS VARIED EMOTIONS

Indicative of the range of emo- tions of the Mexican populace was a recent scene at the bullring in Mex leo City. The occasion was bull fight, but prior to the start of the fight a group of Mexican singers and dancers performed. The con- cluding number was a grand opera selection, and more than 25,0OO per- sons applauded so enthusiastically that the number was repeated twice. Within five minutes the same 5000 were cheering wildly as their idol, the Matador RodolfO Gaona, made his spectacular ''passes of death" at . raging bull.-New York Evening Post.

MAKES FERRY CROSSING EASY
Natives of Northern China Have Sim pie Method of Passing Over Swell
 len Mountain Streams.

In the north of China, where the mountain rivers are often narrow torrents, and there are no ferries to be found, the natives solve the prob lem of crossing the swift streams in 8 novel manner, writes Temple Man ming, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Every house in the district is equipped with the skin of COW or a horse, sewed and cemented alright to make a huge bladder, and beside this buoyant raft there always leans 8 paddle. When anyone of the fam fly has business across stream, he takes the light bladder, throws it over the shoulder, picks up the pad dle and goes down to the river. Into the shallows he wades, places the bladder under him, sits down on it and paddles away.
 It seems very simple, but it is fraught with perils for the novice. But these northern Chinamen are masters of the art and paddle across even the swiftest torrents with speed and ease that is truly amazing.

Joseph was telling his mother about the new teacher. "She'l swfully modest" he said.
 "Oh," exclaimed mother, "what makes you say thatP'
 "Well, every day in history" he explained, "she won't let us say q thing but does all the talking her. self and then when she gets through she always says, My, but this was a rotten lesson Now, doesn't that prove she's modest?"

BLACK EYE HIDDEN BY PAINT
Artist Relates How He Touched Up Seeretary's Eye With Just a Little
 Bit of CeIor.

Charles Ayers Whipple, the New York artist who has been retouch- ing the beautiful decorations by Brumidi in the senate wing of the capitol since the spring of 1919, is a versatile man with the brush.
 Whipple is eager to fill the va- cant space in the frieze which runs around the dome of the capitol very near the top. This space has been vacant for 30 years, since Brumidi, ''the Michael Angelo of the capitol, , laid down his brush. Whipple, to demonstrate his ability, did as . piece of sample work q group repre- senting '"The Spirit of IT,"
 q have done some queer jobs since I have been painting in the capitol" said Whipple. "One of the employees came to me and I re- touched the eyes of a pair of dice for him. But that is not a circum- stance to what I did for a senator's secretary. He came to me with a black eye. I painted it flesh color every morning for two weeks and no one ever discovered his damaged optic. ."-New York Sun.

FOR BENEFIT OF AMATEUR

A double-headed nail is being manufactured that should be of ad- vantage especially on forms for con- crete and other temporary wood structures. Of the compound head the flower, or holding part, is much larger than a common nail head, making it possible to draw the boards together very tightly. The upper part of the head is always ex- posed and furnishes an easy means of extracting the nail.-Popular Me chanics Magazine.

1t is the piano of Paderewski and the

From the day Of its coming it has been the

You who find happiness in the music OF

only in the instrument Of the lmmortals
And the price Of this happiness is less than
you may think. Here at I'LL Chestnut street

thought oi burden. For it is the ideal OF
oteinway & Sons to make the finest piano
that can be made. and to sell it at the lowest

can be made.

The Price of Happiness

1t is the way with art that those who know
and love the best cin find no happiness in
that which is other than the best. And,
therefore. to own piano is one thing--to
own the instrument Of the lmmortals is
another For when :5ou buy piano you do
not buy a thing of wood and steel, of wires
and kcys--it is music that you buy---the
greatest of the arts.
Once your fingers touch the keyboard OF
a Steinway--once you know the eloquence
Of its response---once you drink the beauty
Of its tone--for you henceforth there can be
no other piano And with each new day its
voice means more to you with each new year
it grows into your life. AS some one has said;
Its presence imparts distinction to a room,
for it is privilege 10 the eye well as to the
soul, and it's mere name makes prestige.
Think! The Steinway is the piano
whose keyboard Richard Wagner dreamed
his visions and enriched the world. 1t is the
Voice with which such artists Franz Lis1t

Washington.-A constitutional
amendment to deprive congress of
the power of making tariff sched-
ules has been proposed in the
house by Representative Ansorge
republican, New York. Under the
plan, congress could decide only
whether the country should have
tariff based on the principle of
protection or of revenue only,
with detailed application of the
favored policy left in the hands of
a permanent tariff court appoint
ed for life.
