1t Could Happen

Once upon a time there was busi'
ness man who needed some help III
his office. Thought he: III try and
get :, good man with some sense il
his head and train him to be a man
agei."
So he advertised thusly: Wanted
Young man with energy, intelligence
and ambition, for office work Good
opportunity for promotion to man
who is willing to work for it.
He received eignty-three appllca-
tions. Practically all of the applicants
asked almost at the very beginning
of the interview, one or all of the
following questions:
How much do | get?
are your hours?
Can smoke in the office?
After a full day of interviewing
people who were no more qualified
to. fill the job than a schoolboy. he
decided to try another kind of ad-
yertisement; so he sent this TO the
newspaper: Wanted: Young man to
work in office. You'll get what you
prove you're worth. You quit when
the days work is finished. You can't
smoke in the office"
And not one single, solitary young
man applied for the job.

More Grief for Father.

The style of women's clothes has
changed again, and, where yesterday
we saw skirts so short that every girl
looked to be no more than IL years old,
today they are long, with graceful
lines that accentuate the height of
their wearers. Mere man, noting
these things with the uncritical eye
of his sex, fails to arrive at satisfac-
tory solution Of the raison d'etra of
these changes. However, the business
Judgment teaches him that someone
is benefiting, even though he may be
inclined to crouch a bit when the bills
of his women folks come in.
The new styles are probably &C.
countable for the impulse which has
set the wheels of the textile mills tc
spinning, and new styles, rather thar
old ones, bring rapid turnover
throughout all business lines having
to do with women's wear.
Then again, these. changing styles
give women of every type chancf
to display themselves to the best ad
vantage. The short skirts, so popu
lar during the last year or so, were
especially becoming to those of shor
stature. They went we'll with bobbe<
hair and the "little grip became tn,

Booze Flying.

All the resources of modern inven-
ton are being enlisted to allay Ameri-
can thirst in bringing booze across
the border. Airplanes are now used in
the east by upper class and upper air
bootleggers in their nefarious traffic.
1t is quite simple. An airplane at
some quiet spot in Canada is laden
with forty cases of whiskey. It takes
flight, speeding to the south, and in
four hours lands in some rural dale
on Long Island close to New York.
On landing motor truck in waiting
takes the small but strong cargo, and
speeds away to distribute it, "accord-
ing to plan." During it's flight the
cargo triples in value, it being mar
ketable at forty dollars case on
landing as against a cost of twelve
dollars before it takes the air. But
the consumer does not get it at that
figure, nor does he get this Canadian
liquor in it's original state at any price:
Before it comes to the drinker it is
doubled by dilution with good water
and colored to correspond, thus being
naturalized and Americanized. It is
computed by government men that
there is a gross profit Of seven thous-
and dollars on each trip.
The Princeton union., 1922-09-14

After being relieved Of its cargo the
plane wings its way back to Canada
for another load, and 50 indefinitely.
The landings near New York are made
at nightfall or daybreak and land
ing place is seldom used twice, 80 that
the prohibition agents do not know
where to lie in wait. The aerial snug
gler can pick his landing from hum
dred available places.
It seems that this form Of wholesale
aerial bootlegging can be successfully
combatted only by prohibition air
patrol Of fast flying observers. An
air base is to be established near New
York to combat the flyers from Cana
da along the lines Of the prohibition
air base in Florida, which has been a
success.
A bootlegging flyer gets about five
hundred dollars for each trip, an
amount tempting to flyers of skill and
courage who lack respect for law and
are willing to take the chance of in
curing penalties. This method of
smuggling contraband liquor can be
applied with equal facility to the
smuggling of diamonds, opium, silks
and other things of high value and
small bulk. There must be treaty
arrangement between our. country and
its neighbors, controlling airplane fly
ing across the border, and this from
mutual necessity. Just now the Unit
ed States is getting the worst of it.,

BACKS FORD's PLAN.
County Delegates Pass Resolutions
Endorsing Ford's Muscle
Choa1a pPniocf
(Farm Bureau News Service.)

(Farm Bureau News Service.)
DEVELOPMENT of the Muscle Shoals
waterpower and fertilizer project in
Alabama, under the plan submitted to
congress by Henry Ford, was urged in
resolutions adopted by county dele
gates attending the third annual farm
bureau meeting at the Minnesota state
fair. This step was taken after the
essentials of the Ladd bill, which in
corporates the Ford tender, we're ex-
planned by Chester H. Gray, farm bu-
reau leader in Missouri.
"We, as farm bureau folks" Mr..
Gray told the delegates, want the
Ford offer accepted because it is the
best proposition that has been made.
The alternatives are either govern
ment operation or junking the project.
Farmers want this plant in operation,
partly because it will give them an
nually 10000 tons of concentrated fer
tilizer at saving of rs to SO per
cent and partly because they feel that
it will give Mr.. Ford an opportunity
to demonstrate his business genius in
a field other than the manufacture of
automobiles. It will be an industrial
demonstration plot, similar in many
respects to agricultural demonstration
plots that have taught farmers so
much"
Mr.. Gray explained that enactment
of Muscle Shoals legislation was the
chief project now being carried on by
the Washington office of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation, despite
determined opposition from the fer
tilizer trust, steel, gunpowder anc
chemical interests and other powerful
organizations in the east.
A vote is expected shortly and al
farm bureau members are urged t.
write their senators and representa-
tives in congress asking them to sup
port the Ladd bill.

Ignition Of Escaping Hvdrooen

Ignition Of Escaping Hydrogen.
There have been so many cases Of
spontaneous ignition Of hydrogen gas
when charging balloons that an in
vestigation has been carried on to
determine the cause. BY observing
In the dark Jet of hydrogen escaping
through a pipe flange, it was found
that brush discharge Of static elec-
tricity was plainly visible. When the
pipe was tapped, to stir up the dust,
an explosion occurred. From the in
vestigation It would seem that the
spontaneous ignition was due to the
friction between the hydrogen and
the dust of iron rust and to the brush
discharge Of static electricity from the
electrified particles. - Popular Me-
