1920 there were 10000 accidental
deaths, and the toll is increasing.
The elimination OF the loss OF
life and property from accidents
comes within the range OF thrift
work and can best be accom-
plished through educational
methods. Primarily, the indi-
vidual must exercise more care,
and this attitude on the part Of
the public will be quickly re-
fectcd in proper legislation.

hind in this important phase Of

LOVE-.

LOVE.
The fact that these people o! TINS
nation spent many millions of dollars
annually 10 support their religious IN
situations affords sufficient proof thH
their faith is big factor in their PRIV
ate lives and in the life of the couptfy.
And yet. oddly enough, the beller 3D.
tains almost everywhere. that religion
il chiefly the business of the preacher,
and that layMcn who discuss II IN 4
mixed gathering are cranks having lit
tie acquaintance with good manners
We are Z funny people.
All of which is Introductory to the
statement that no other thing can
cause greater anguish than unrequited
love. The man who loves woman
and receives only Indifference in re-
turn. and the woman whose hcarf i
held by a man who cares nothing Tor
her know a measure Of suffering that
more fortunate folk feel Is mucn Tess
grievous than the agony endured DN
mothers and fathers whose children
have grown Indifferent TO their affec'
ton and make no return OF 1t.
Those who love can not be happy
except they receive love III return.
And the greater their capacity for low
ing, the greater is their hunger when
love is denied them. Love demands
alteration. Love hunscrs for adora'
ton.
And when mankind is enabled fully
To understand this truth, it will under
stand why the first and greatest COM
mandment lays upon all the people OF
the arth the obligation to love the
Father who made and preserved us a
nation.

Utilize Wartime AmbuIanoss.

Many ambulances owned by vOlun- teer organizations during the war have been converted into commercial ve- hicles-many of them without under going any great physical changes with the exception of the removal of equip ment required only in an ambulance.
 About the streets may be seen de- livery vans easily recognized as war time autOmobile ambulances. the New York Sun states. The name of the original donating organization and Its insignia are discernible in some cases under the new coats of paint on the vehicle, and from the rear one can see still the long benches on each side that once marked the ambulance but now are used for piling merchandise on.

Queer CarQoeS,

The oldest cargo recorded was prob ably that carried lately by a British steamer bound for Morocco.
 It consisted of some two million gallons of water To carry that amount of water distance of 15,OOO miles sounds too absurd, but the mat ter becomes clearer when we are told that the water was specially purified drinking water for the use of the Spanish troops fighting the rebels in Morocco.
 Another cargo sent to Spain consist ed of an immense quantity of bank notes. There were several millions of these. most of them of small value. It is testimonial to British printing that Spain gave such an order, and is due to the fact that notes printed in Spain have been so largely counter feited.
 A master stevedore, working at the Albert docks, London, recently re- ceived compensation for being hit on the head by a bundle of old horse shoes which were being loaded into a steamers hold.
 In court the judge asked the reason for sending old horseshoes out of the country. Counsel told hlm that they were being sent to Chinap where they were made into spades, a purpose for which they were specially suitable.

Exnlaininu the Garden of Eden.

At irregular intervals the cOntrO- verSy over the existence of the Gar den of Eden Is revived. Sometimes It gets warm, but jn later years it seems to have lost much of Its bitterness.
 It recalls the remarks on the sub ject attributed to John Wesley Wood in, preacher of much originality, we'll known to Clevelanders of forty odd years ago. As nearly as his words can be recalled Mir. WOOdin said:
 "Some say there wasn't no Garden of Eden. The Bible says there was. Some say we don't understand what the Bible means when 1t says there was. As for me, all 1 got to say Is, if there wasn't no Garden, where are we goin' to look for original sin? So l listen to 'em talk this way and l listen to 'em talk that, and when they get through say, What's all this fusSing got to do with the plan of salvation anyway And that's where I stand, and stand fast t!'-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

RICH FINDS IN DUST HEAPS
Sifters of London Rubbish Make Good Money in Occupation That
 Would Appeal to Few

Lovers of Dickens are not likely to forget NOddy BOffin, the golden dust man in Our Mutual Friend" and the heaps of dust that were his for tune. Not go many years ago there was many a mountain of rubbish, cin- ders and various unsavOry objects to be found about, and sometimes in Lon don itself
 There are many stories of the won derful finds that have been made by dust sifters in those heaps, and one of the fraternity named Mary Collins, who lived in the nefghbOrhOOd of Lis son Grave, gave some curious evidence before police magistrate when she appeared to charge woman with robbery. The prisoner had stolen a bag that contained one coral neck lace, another with pearl clasp, sev- eral handsome brooches, five gold seals, some gold rings and shirt pins, broken bits of gold and silver and other articles of less value
 In reply to the magistrate the prose cutrix stated that she had found the property among the dust, and that people who followed her trade found almost every small article that could he mentioned. She was employed by dust contractor who allowed his employees 16 cents per load for sift- ing, in addition to all the spoons and other articles that they might find among the dust. One woman had fol lowed her occupation for eight years and had done so we'll with her finds that she built herself a house at 8 cost of $1 ,5O0 In addition, she showed cash box in which were thirty-nine sovereigns, two five-pOund notes and several guineas and half-soveretgns.
