SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses


Coming events cast their
propaganda before.
A runt of boy often de-
velops into a whale of a man.
A knowledge of Greek and
Latin seems to blunt all ambi-
ton for hard work.
You cannot make a silken gar
ment out of .burlap.
The demand for Truth is so
limited that it is omitted alto.

1t is as necessary for a real vii
lain to wear a mustache as for q
real pious man to look dyspeptic.

Drowning causes many acct

through ignorance Of how to keep
afloat. This is just as important

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Overwhelming Proof That Finger
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
Ing Lifetime of Individual.

The finger print is a scientific method
of Identification. A movement is afooi
in Michigan for statewide registra.
ton system under which every one
would be finger-printed. 1t is also
planned by the government to establish
a central bureau Of Identification with
a national registration. 1t is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, as PSYCHOLOGISTS tell us
that the tissues of the entire body
change once in about seven years, but
whorls, curves and lines Of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formity with the lines of childhood.
After an attack of scarlet fever the
cuticle peeled off Of a child's fingers
AS an experiment prints were made.
They were found to be just the same
as those made before the sickness. A
man CHANGED to burn his fingers. They
were badly blistered. After the blisters
broke and the outer layer of the skin
came Off he made finger-prints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed. The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acct
dent.

MOON is NOT DEAD WORLD
Recent Scientific Observations Seem to
Prove Astronomers Have Long
Held Wrong Idea.

Astronomers cling to the old idea
that the moon is q dead world, desti-
tute alike Of air and water. But recent
observations Of w. III. Pickering, made
at Vaudeville, Jamaica. go to show that
many changes occur with the alterna-
ton Of lunar day and night. Great
snow fields form in the mountain val
leys, and then melt away; fog banks
are seen and, very rarely, drifting
clouds. The Hottest peaks are snow
capped. The moons surface is pitted
with volcanic craters some of these
measure 100 miles across. Each crater
is surrounded by a mountain ring 1000
to 10000 feet in height.
According to Pickering, there are
few, if any, such large and continuous
ly active volcanic regions upon the
surface of the earth. But the activity
Of the lunar volcanoes is now confined
to the quiet emission of steam Jets,
like those found In Yellowstone Ma
tional park. Certain variable dark
areas on the moon may be due to vege-
tation:

PARIS BARR00M LIKELlTILEBlT
 OF AMERICA

PARIS. Jan. 27. Follow little. street near the Place, de TOpera, where the night life of Paris huns between the hours of nine and midnight, pass by the fashionable little theater of Jane Renouardt and Philippes new restaurant, with it's shiny new facade as brilliant as perfumers shop! For this one, evening avoid the places you know too we'll the poulet a la creme at Ciro's, etc., and slip into modest little bar which bears the name of one of the worlds greatest cities.
 The door is easy to open-you push it or pull it and you are in the bar. C'est fini you are no longer in France you have crossed the Atlantic, and you are on the other side of the pond!
 There is no barman from Naples or Montmartre, who has learned his Eng fish in the Berlitz School and prepares his cocktails without gin. Behind him is the traditional alcohol and large photograph of Carpenter and in front friendly Americans talking with broad accent.
 Go downstairs, by a little narrow stairway, where you will be greeted by a noisy piano and great cloud of smoke. About a dozen men and women are seated around tables, with champagne in ice-pails and goblets half full of whiskey.
 Where do they come from and to what class do they belong? Are they bank clerks, business men or globe trotters only? It is difficult to say, but it is certain they are not French all seated about listening to an Amer ican "jazz" singer, who accompanies his song with a little dancing. Some of the onlookers pick up the refrain and help him along "Just like on Fifty-fifth avenue-remember the lit tie bar and Benson, who was so droll!' muse some of the crowd. Others just think. Then Parisienne appears on the stairway, descends prudently and, with her escort takes a place in the rear of the bar. The barman follows her and offers champagne, while the 0thers-from New York, Philadelphia and Chicago-all cry for soda, gin and "black horse"
