How often do you moods changes And what makes them

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Prophetic
London Daily Mail prints the first
photograph sent by wireless in Eng
land. The Mail is quite excited. It
calls the photo great scientific
achievement, after so years of ex-
periments." A correct description.
We are close to the day when pic
lures of the most important events
will be wirelessed and printed in
every newspaper of Importance.
You cannot get much closer to
to the supernatural, this side of the
grave, than sending a photo by
radio. However, we live in an age
of magic, wonders crowding won
ders, and the average comment will
be: wonder why some one hasn't
been able to do it before"
The world is learning that moth
ing is impossible.
Action
T. Thorne Baker is the inventor
who sends the first photo by radio
in England. Americans have. been
working on the same thing and will
soon Spring" it on a lig scale.
Bakers radio photo, epochal and
prophetic, shows ridiculous situa-
tion--two people on skis the man
helping to her feet his partner who
had just fallen in the most approved
comic-strip fashion.
Why is such a picture more inter-
esting than "stilP' view of Bonar
Law or some other notable? The
psychology is, that action lures. Per-
petual motion put Eva Tanguay
across.
Cruelty

Why not run them in room
where they'd be put to sleep by non
poisonous gas, then eIectrocute
them?
It might cost u Z W more cents a
head than Sitting a hogs throat or
stunning a steer with sledge. But
| 1t would eliminate pain. And such
elimination is cheap at anv price.
BY the way, does vegetable life
suffer when we kill It? How do you

Probably half of these fires were
| due to carelessness.
However, the recorded fire loss
wa 1es tina. a for every American
man, woman and child. Don't let it
| lull you into carelessness, or your
share may be a lot larger.
Eating
Chicken is tho favorite American
food, With ham and cabbage second.
So discovers Mrs. Mary c. Pickettt
of New York's Hotel McAlpin, after
checking up by mill hotels clubs and
restaurants all over the country.
A minority favored roast beef,
turkey and ice cream. Apple pie,
once indisputably the national dish,
seems to be fallen on evil days.
Probably that's because part Of the
core usually shows Up in the pie.
Mail
Maybe we shouldn't crow so loud
l. about the efficiency of the post
office in carrying letters for the
cheap price, two cents.
Part of the cost is invisible. The
Senate passes TIE postoffice appro-
priat IN bill for 585 million dollars,
or $3.50 a year for each American,
$21.20 for a family of four.

@. Did the native language Of ne
groes 30 develop their throat mus
cles as to cause them to drop or to
change our language as they do?-
H.W.R.
A. Prof. L. d. Turner Of Howard
University says that In his opinion,
it is entirely a matter of training
and not Of any anatomical difference
in the organs of speech. Educated
negroes as well as educated foreign
ers use the same consonants and
vowels that educated English speak
ing people do and speak the langu-
age as correctly as they do.
@. Have animals been found that
have been frozen In Polar ice for
century or more. If so, was the
meat edible ?-G.L.B.
A. The Smithsonian Institution
says that cadavers of the northern
mastodon and hairy rhinocerous
have been found in the ice of Siberia.
Wolves, dogs and bears are said to
have eaten the frozen flesh as 1t
thawed out. Small portions of the
muscular tissues, skin covered with
hair, stomach contents, ct cetera,
of one of these frozen specimens Of
the mammoth are on exhibition in
the United States National Museum.

Saves Time and Labor
Inc main advantages claimed
for the new invention are that t
is time and labor saver, that it
saves the government money. and
hnally that it keeps an exact ac-
count OF all postage used by a firm.
Losses in postage in the average
business establishment are said to
be larger than most people would
think. An office stamp used for prl-
vate correspondence seems like a
trlf1e to many employees and occa-
slonally an employe who handles
large amounts of stamps succumbs
TO the temptation to misplace a
sheef now and then.
An instance of the first sort of
misrepresentation of stamps was in
dlcated by an official of q big com
man. not long ago. He was study
ing the stamp meter system and he
asked in jest:
suppose I can send by Christ
mas cards through that?"
NO he was told, mot unless
you SEND them in Office envelopes,
envelopes with the name and an.
dress of the firm printed in tha m
per left hand corner. All mail
put through the stamp meter ia
required by the government to he
SO marked" 20
The official shrugged his shoul-
GERS and said jokingly that thar was
indee da drawback.
An example of carelessness with
stamps on a. bigger sccale occurred
IN county tax Office. A woman
VINO mad worked there seventeen
years had charge of sending out ali
tax correspondence. In this work
sne ordered and used a great MANY
sheets of stamps.
Suddenly it was discovered that
she had been appropriating stamps
for herself regularly. A mail order
mouse, 1t was revealed, had become
suspicious and Investigated Eer case
wan SId1IpS SeHt 10 SuCn nrn19 she
had furnished an entire house. Mail
order nrms do not look suspicious
ly on small or occasional purchases
paid for in stamps But when a
customer pays for beds, kitchen cab
inets and floor lamps In sheets OF
stamps company wonders why
money orders or checks are not
used land sometimes it tries to fnd
out.
So extensive a system OF stamp
graft as that just recountcd is prob
ably rare. But organized pilferiDg
OF postage is known to exist in many
cities and the casual stamp "bor
rover" is anything but uncomm OH
The stamp meter, like the cash reg
lister, is proving an unpopular in
novation so far as this type of em-
ploye is concerned.

@. When did the Germans frst
use poison gas in the World War;
S.W.G.
A, Poisonous gases were intro
duced into recent warfare by the
German army during the engage
ment near Ypres, April %, 1916.
They were generated in bombs gre
nades, and other apparatus and al
lowed to drift with a suitable wind
into the Allied trenches. Poisonous
gases were later used both by the
Allied and Central Powers chiefly
in the form of explosive shells
@. What nationalities were rep
resented in the American army at
the time of the Revolution ?-D.G.C.
A. The main nationalities repre-
sented were English, Scotch, Irish,
Welsh and French.
@. What is the hardest wood
found in the United States ?-H.F.B.
A. The Forest Service says that
the hardest wood found in the Unit
ed States is black iron wood which
grows in the State OF Florida The
scientific name for this wood is
Rhannidium Ferreun.
Q. Does rabbit meat take the
place of beef for chickens ?-W. RIP.
A. The Department of Agricul-
ture says that rabbit meat may be
used to take the place of beef for
feeding chickens; in fact the raising

industry.
Q. What would Central Park.
New York, be worth if it were hand
led as a real estate proposition?--
N.L.M.
A.. The land included in Central
Park cost originally little more
than five million dollars, and It has
been estimated that it is worth to-
day over half billion.
@. When the Republicans con-
troll congress do they always have
majority of the members of all the
com mittees GAO.
A. Whatever party is in control
of legislative body exercises that
power. Effective party organization
demands that the majority party
have majority on every Legislative
committee, for as rule the destiny
of legislative bills rests In the hands
of the committee to which they are
referred.
