One Way 1t Does Not Rain.

The weather men have been trying
to answer: "How does it raln?" II is
a hard question, says DIR. w. J. Humph-
reys of the weather bureau at Wash
ington.
Lots of people are content to say
that the droplets at the top of the
cloud pick up others ON their way
down and come out at the bottom full
sized rain-drops," he said THAT
sounds nice, but those who give this
explanation seem to overlook the fact
that clouds can float in the sky for
days without giving a drop of rain
He has calculated how big a drop
would result from such fall and it
turns out that a cloud particle falling
from top to bottom of a dense cloud a
mile thick and picking up every other
droplet on it's way would come out
only onesiXtcenth of an inch In di-
ameter, much smaller than an ordinary
raindrop.

Lawsuit Of LONG Duration.

The longest drawn out lawsuit on
record in legal history Is between two
neighboring French villages In Jura-
Charchillat and Meusia. The case had
its beginning in the Thirteenth century
In 1882 a certain knight of the Holy
empire divided certain wood between
the two villages. Although the wood
is of small value, the two villages
engaged in q controversy over the
exact line of division and a lawsuit,
which has lasted through the centuries
to the present age, was begun.
During the past century there have
been many judgments rendered, all of
which have been appealed from. In
one court decision the advantage was
given to Meusia. Charchillat appealed
and the case was finally sent back to
the court of civil appeal at Nancy,
where last December Charchillat was
awarded a third of the wood instead of
a fifth, as settled before. Each of the
towns was condemned to pay its own
costs since 1924. Meusia has appealed
from the award.

Voices That VIII Live Forever.

1t is not generally known, but there
are many of the leading personages of
the last century whose voices will
never die These are records which
are part of the Edison collection at
Menlo Park, N. ]. When the Edison
machine for reproducing speech was
perfected, the inventor sent repre-
sentative around the world for the
purpose of interviewing famous people
and persuading them to speak into a
monograph.
Thus, Gladstone can be heard con
graduating Edison on his wonderful
inventive genius. King Edward ex'
presses his establishment and admira-
ton at being able to hear voices repro
duced by q machine. Tennyson reads
a verse from one of his poems. Brown
ing tries to recite and fails. Among
others, Cardinal Manning, the duke Of
Clarence, Lord Salisbury and the duke
of Cambridge contributed to this Won
derful collection, which cost great
deal of money.

CALL TUESDAY UNLUcKY DAY
Members of the Greek Church Have
Reasons to Look Upon 1t With
Misgivings.

To most persons Of western tradi-
ton Friday is more or less considered
to be an unlucky day. Many of them
prefer not to say this straight out,
but they are a bit wary of starting
any large enterprise on Friday. The
idea may come from the fact that for
so many people Friday is held as
fast day and great interest in purely
secular pursuits should be held some
what in allegiance. The old Morse peas
antry give different explanation.
ITO begin a big thing on a Friday
leads to Il great temptation to break
the Sabbath" is the way one old grand
mother puts it.
To most members of the Greek
church it is not Friday, but Tuesday
that is the most unlucky day. The
reason is clearcut and historical, for
it was on this day that-a Tuesday, in
53-Constantinople was lost to the
eastern empire and passed under the
control of the Turks.

HENRY FORD IN
UNIQUE CAREER
OF BUSINESS
Came Near Being Watch
maker-Took to Automo-
bile Making In Sympathy
for Farmers.

New York, April 27.-Life on a
firm drove Henry Ford into making
automobiles.
Mr.. Ford says so himself in an
article which he calls "My Life and
Work." written by himself in Nc
Clure's Magazine for May, with the
collaboration of Samuel Crowther
author and editor.
And Mr.. Ford still feels the same
way about farming. Not that he
has anything against farmers, he
points out there is "too much hard
hand labor on farms" Because
he was born on a farm and knew
without question just what farming
means. Mr.. Ford invented an au-
tomobile with which he hoped, first,
to tighten the farmers task, and,
second, to aid people without lot
of money in their search for enjoy
ment and business relief
That, in a nutshell, is what Mr..
Ford's article gives as the reason
TOT the NOTQ car. IutiuCutdllS II IS
the reason for his interest in farm
tractors and for lot of other things
which have happened in Detroit re
Gently.
The automobile, however, barely
escaped being a watch. MIR. Ford
had desire to do fine mechanical
work, ana his ideas naturally turned
to watches, he says. AT one period
of those early, days he had 500
watches and knew what made the
wheels go around in every one of
them 1t was then he thought of
the possibility of making watch
for 80 cents. In fact, he says, he
almost started in the business, but
refrained when he figured out that
watches were not necessity and so
would not be sold.
Just how | reached that surpris-
ing conclusion is difficult to state
now" he observes.
Studying Usefulness of Machines
But a combination of the farm
and the watch, and the sight when
he was only IL OF road engine
was too much for anything plebian
in Mr.. Fords future. He started to

the government" Before the en-
actment of the Federal Reserve Bank
Act such a statement would likely
have depleted the Treasury OF its
gold reserve.
The National Civil Service Re-
form League conference is also ex-
lpected to consider the present meth
cd of appointing postmasters, upon
the recommendation of Congress-
men, National Committeeman, ana
lpolitical referees, instead OF under
a proper Interpretation of the Civil
Service Law. This method has, also
resulted in most unfair dlscrimlna-
ltions against ,ex-servlce men ana
against applicants in both parties
with the highest rating.
1t is expected also that the con-
ference may inquire into the present
Organization of the Civil Service
Commission, although the civil serv-
ice law provides for minority rep
resentation. The manner in which
the Civil Service Commission has
conducted the examinations has also
been subjected to much criticism,
land if the conference does it's work
Thoroughly it will undoubtedly in
quire into whether or not favoritism
has been shown to applicants with
special political backing
The attempt of Elmer Dover, AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
former secretary to Mark Hanna, to
"Ilardingize the, Departments" of
the government is the most de-
structive assault yet made upon the
ing administration and destroying
the efficiency Of government depart
ments by creating a state of panic
and chaos among the civil service
employees.
The complaints against the NAL
administration of the Civil Service
would be less numerous if the ad-
ADMINISTRATION openly ayoWed a pur-
pose to GUST Democrats and put in
Republicans. Instead of taking this
courageous course the administra-
ton has pretended throughout a
friendship for civil service, while
lodging and cvadng the provisions of
the law and trampling upon the
principle underlying it.

ACT ENDS AGE-oLD ENMlTY
Students of, History See Significance
. in Recent Move of the Dean
of Westminster.

There Is more than meets the eye
In the announcement that. the dean
of Westminster has assigned partic-
ular stall on the north side of the
chair for the use of the mayor of
Westminster whenever he visits the
abbey in either public or private
capacity. The deans kindly act re-
moves another obstacle to the full
friendship which should exist in West
minister between the ecclesiastical and
the civic authorities. Centuries ago
there was no love lost between them.
The abbey authorities were a powerful
body; the citizens of Westminster
were struggling to be free, in a mu-
nicipal sense. 1t was the cellarer OF
the abbey who built the Gatehouse
prison late in the Fourteenth century
and installed the abbey jantor as its
keeper. 1t was the abbot who had Gus
tody of all prisoners captured within
the liberties. 1t was the abbot who.
when debts were owing to the slonas-
terry, did not recover them by ordinary
process of law, but sent out his com
mon pressers" to distrain on the
debtors goods. When Bryan Talbot,
a gentleman by birth, fell into ar
rears with his rent, he had to sur
render his Large bedsted legged" his
"litill old Ship Chest" his water-tub
s,nd his "blew pylyan for woman"
Not until the middle of the Fifteenth
century did self-government manifest
itself in a society of citizens, and that
is long way from the gift to the
mayor of stall in the abbey.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

that former Director Wilmeth had
unfairly dismissed a number of en-
