NO CHANGE IN PROCEDURE
Same Old Objection, Same Old RuI- ing" and Judicial Proceedings
 Went on Their Way.

A reader was Overhauling his old files of Life the other day when he came across story with a distinct Cleveland flavor.
 It concerns a once noted member of the local bar, and d Well-knOwn judge, who, happily, is still numbered among the living.
 Here is the story just as 1t appeared % years ago:
 "A most amusing reply was made by Judge Neff to an objection made by Attorney Vernon Burke. The replevin suit of Capt. Joseph D0Ville against Constable Hudson was on hearing. Mir. Burke had continually made Ob- jectiOn to certain testimony, and every one of the objections was religiously Overruled by Judge Neff.
 "Later, Captain DOville was on the stand and the same question came up again.
 "T object cried Mir. Burke in a stentorlan voice.
 "'what's your objectiOnT asked Judge Neff.
 "'Same old objection,' replied the attorney.
 "'Same old ruling answered the judge. Proceed '"-CIeveland Plain Dealer.

SEEN IN DIFFERENT LIGHTS
Beauties of Nature Made Varying AP- peal to the Artist and the
 Two "FIappers."

The Woman and the artist were sit ting on the sands at the beach. Near them were two girls murmuring to each other.
 Silence fell when the artist sat up excitedly and, waving a thumb at the magnificent sunset. said: Get that colOr!"
 It was one of Natures great pictures "a pile of lavender thunder clouds tipped pink by the setting sun and slashed from time to time by flame lightning. The lake gave back the glories of the sky, enhanced by its own green waves.
 The bObbed-haired one of the two girls spoke first: Say, Minnie, wouldn't that make a swell negligeeT
 You said it." replied Minnie, "but how'd yer get all them colors?"
 Layers and layers and layers of chiffon" was the dreamy response.
 The artist fairly exploded in the WOman's ear: "G0sh! Is that all they can think of Now, when l get back to the studio I'll show you" He fin ished with a vague gesture.
 The Woman said nothing, only sat back and pOndered on the number of things that genius might create from one source of nSpiratiOn.-ChicagO Journal

BOILING MAY BE oVERDoNE
Too Much Cooking Said to Be Fatal to VitamInoS, Which Are NOces-
 cary to Life.

Ever since the mysterious little vita mines have claimed the attention of science, new theories have been ex- pounded from time to time.
 Now comes the claim that vitamines are bits of sunshine. Because of the important part cooking plays in main taining or destroying these precious vitality givers, it is well to learn what the new theory asserts regarding 1t.
 Vegetables grown above ground, ac- c0rding to this theory, are richer in vitamines than those not having the direct rays of the sun, otherwise known as root vegetables.
 It is declared that overlooking kills the stimulating action of the vita mines. The housewife who would sup ply her daily menu with these vitality giving items should look well to the fresh fruits and vegetables in the market at this time of year.
 It is claimed that because the vita mines are actual rays of sunshine, artificial heat tends to destroy their natural power. Therefore fruit and vegetables that may be eaten raw are more beneficial than when boiled.

ALASKA HAS MORE WOMEN
Sex Ratio Is Gradually Being Equal lzed in the Far Northwest Pos
 session of America.

Whether modern girls are becoming more adventurous or Alaska more tame, statistics recently published by the Eugenics Research association in dicate that our northern territory is becoming less nOmadic land of single cussedness and settling down more to starting the home fires burning. There has been a continually approaching balance in the number of males to 100 females. In the total population this ratio has moved as follows: In 1900, 258.9; in 1910, 247.9 in 1920. 1885.
 "Industrially, eugenically and sO- cially, the great need of the territory is settlers who move into the region with their families" says the report, according to the Syracuse Herald. Perhaps the distribution of age groups with sex ratios indicates ap- preaching stabiliZatiOn of population. In 1920 the sex ratios by age groups were: Forty and more years of age, 3O45 males to 100 females; twenty to thirty-nine years of age, 171.1 males to 100 females; under twenty years of age, IOO.7 males to 100 females

COLD DRINKS ON HOT DAYS
Belief That They. Were Highly Dan. Cerous Is Not as Generally
 Held as Formerly.

Medical men have their folklore, as have the people at large Mistaken ideas. sanctioned by time, die hard. even among so-called men of science. In the differentiation of diseases and the sorting of causes and effects if is little wonder that there should have arisen confusion of ideas that to a degree still persist.
 There Is a general belief that lt is highly dangerous to drink cold water | in warm weather when we are very warm, and/in a much recommended book on dietetics of the present cen. tury the warning against this prac. tice Is down in black and white. If we trace this teaching tu it's origin we find that the fatalities that occurred from this practice always happened when the temperature of the air was S5 degrees or upward. The symptoms described are those of sun. stroke or heat exhaustion, and the cIinicians of the day had confused, or rather not yet differentiated, the ef- fects of heat suppression and the very different experience of giving the in- teri0r of the stomach cold bath. So strong was the belief that the taking of a cold drink, and not the inability to get rid of heat, was the cause of those pathological catastro- phes of hot weather that in one of our largest cities a century since the hu. mane society placed printed posters on the public pumps, warning the hot and thirsty to pause before imbibing and hold the cup in the hands until some of the dangerous cold was ex. tracted from the water Very differ ent from what a humane society might be doing in this day.-New York Mpdi. cal Journal.

Oldest Enaines in Enaland.

Two engines which are still pump ing away after a hundred years are to be seen in the BrOOkmill Road pumping station of the London water board. They were built one hundred and one hundred and ten years ago respectively. Every day since they were installed they have raised on an average 1,75O,OOO gallons of water, and the total amount they have pumped must be at least sixty thou sand million gallons. These engines which are probably the oldest work ing machines of their kind in the country, are of fifty. horsepower, and each works two pumps. They are of the type that was once used in the Cornish mines, and except for a few modern Improvements which have been added during recent years they are exactly as they were a century ago.
 Soon they are to be replaced by new engines, not because they are not capable of performing their work, but because modern engines work more cheaply.

If you will let me take if, will get the very best ready-made suit l can find in town for the poor young man in whom you are interested. You see, this suit fits me very well-I rather like it, in fact, and it happens that l wanted to look as presentable as pos Sible this afternoon. have been asked to a tea party"
 Suddenly Mrs BlOdget's expression of habitual hauteur returned. "Oh, to be sure. I did ask you to tea. Par don me for forgetting. I thought you and Hilda would want to meet again, You seemed so entertained with her. I am sorry about the suit. It was most amusing"
 So saying, Mrs. BlOdget, still main taining her manner of hauteur, hur- red off, leaving Doctor Godfrey a little nOnplussed but in possession of his suit.
 He spent no time trying to figure out the meaning of Mrs. BlOdget's mood, but hastened home, and without waiting to get one of the maids to press out the wrinkles, donned his re- trieved suit in place of the shabby one he was wearing and steered his course to the home of Mrs. BlOdget. Ii was past the time set for the tea party, but Mrs. BlOdget had only just arrived.
 The role that was apparently ex- pected of him-that of devoted fol lower of the gushing Hilda-DOctOr Godfrey did not play. For a rather tiresOme hour he took part in cOnVer- satiOn that he tried to keep general, drank tea and listened to the lOqua- ciOus Hilda. When his sister had left and he stood up to take his departure he said to Mrs. BlOdget, still seated rather wearily beside her tea table:
 "I want to make up to the young man you are interested in. Won't you come with me to select the sort of suit you think would do instead? If you will come with me now, we can get to the store before closing"
 Perhaps it wasn't quite fair to get her alone with him in his car on false pretenses. But Doctor Godfrey had definitely decided to put off his pro- posal of marriage no longer. And when he had told her, with much fal- tering and many apologies, Mrs. BlOd- gets hauteur departed, never to re- turn, at least as far as Doctor God frey was concerned.

Heated Ar0ument,

Now, SambO's movements al all times are leisurely and deliberate. and no amount of threats or coaxing could get SambO to exert himself be- yond the speed of a slow movement camera subject. Therefore this unusual display of locOmotiOn from SambO was most surprising. The girl stopped to get an explanation.

They Gazed With Scorn.

It was my first jOb-in library. I was on evening duty, and after hours I was going to dance. I'll admit my thoughts were more concentrated on the dance than on my work.
 A crusty old man came in and asked for a certain book. I went back to the stacks, gazed at the shelves, but didn't see it.
 q am sorry" I said, glibly. Its not in"
 "He gave me long. suspicious look my expression must have been par ticularly blank-and walked back to the shelves.

The absent-minded professor, favor ite of the humorists, is familiar to us all.

How could he for get3 The child was obviously not dO- ing her vocal duty.

Costly Bird Books,

A London bookseller reports that many of the standard works on birds are conspicuous for their high prices. Thus copy of 'Lilford's Birds of the British Isles" with ThOrburn'S plates, is listed at f75. A complete copy Of the Ibis" runs to E130, and the "Cata- logue of Birds in the British Museum" 10 f54. Beebe's Monograph of the Pheasants'' stands at f5O, and Elliot's monograph of the same order at ESQ. If you want Dresser'S Birds of Flu rope" today you must pay f95, and for GOulds Birds of Europe f1O5. GOuld's Birds of Australia" can be obtained for &285, and his "Mono- graph of the Running Bird' for f7S. The climax is reached by the "Orni- biological BibliOgraphy Relating to American Birds" that appears in the list at 1875, and by Audubon's Birds of America" which demands shelf as large as an ordinary dining table for each of its gigantic volumes, and is priced at f6OO. Thus the wOuld-be pOssessor of rthe eleven works named above must be prepared for an ex- penditure of E2,424.
