THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

A doubtful remedy is better
than none.
The common advantage is the
greatest bond Of society.
It is disgraceful to make diff

nonsense is folly.
Enmities which are unspoken
and hidden are more to be
feared than those which are out.
spoken and open.
Virtue, as a transcendent gem.
is better set without much gold
and ornament.
Books. must follow sciences,
and not sciences books.
Wisdom is not harsh-voieed
and frowning, but benignant and
approachable.
1t is folly's most peculiar at
tribute and native act to make
experience void.
There is not any one vice incl
dent to the mind Of man against
which the world raises such a
loud and universal outcry as
against ingratitude.
Everything that is hard is with
difficulty eased.
Private persons are to be ad-
v1sed to take care Of themselves,
but persons in a public character
to take care Of others.

shows,
Less on exterior things than most

This is her history In Homer,
New York, in the year 1S1S.was
born Amelia jerks Boomer.
Amelia grew up as her girl
friends did, attending school and
going to parties, but Amelia was
different. Amelia was a free
spirit with thoughts ahead of
her time.
So ambitious was she that
after her marriage she entered
upon a business career, which in
those days was considered most
surprising thing for woman to
do. But Amelia went head.

cal called THE Lily"
. In the publication of 1.-THE
Lily Amelia worked hard and
was rewarded by the popularity
of the periodical, which really
had quite a success.
At this time, the movement
for the emancipation of women
was In it's infancy. Women had
very few rights or privileges and
1t was women endowed with the
type OF courage Of Amelia Bloom
er who started the campaign
which lasted Snearly q century
before the battle was won.
Amelia Boomer threw her
whole heart and soul into the
work of trying to improve the
laws so that women could,
through voting, have some part
In the government of their coun-

r ONDON.-Britain has insti-
tuted a miniature rum-run-
ming business of its own.
Its location is the south coast
OF England, and the main COM
modify is French cognac. Be-
fore the war this used to cost
about 81 per bottle In England,
but its present price is now
twenty-five shillings, or a little
over Sc. The increase is main
ly due to revenue duty.
The country folk of England
regard this as too much to pay
and consequently they arrange to
import 1t themselves without in
reference from revenue officials.
There is no particular difficulty
along this lonely coast, where the
tall cliffs shelter numberless little
coves, and the liquor arrives prac-
tically unmolested.
In such quantities is the brandy
coming in all kinds of craft that
the local farm hand now refuses
his native ale and finds it cheaper
to drink the French spirit.

Landmark Goes

r ONDON.--A famous landmark
for over a hundred years
- has vanished with the dis
appearance of a tiny apple stall
from the front Of Lincoln's Inn,
the headquarters of London's
lawyers.
The stall was a family one,
and has seen four generations, all
of whom used to sit in the same
manner, muffled up in winter
and summer, but with the death
of the last Of the line there Is
now no one to carry on the
business"
One Of tho conditions of their
long tenancy was that there
should be no shouting to adver-
tise their wares, hence the popu-
lar name they received of "the
silent old women Of Lincoln's

UNDERWOOD SEES
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
IN MUSCLE SHOALS

FLORENCE, Ala, Aug. 26.-Sen-
ator Oscar w. Underwood, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
president, addressing an audience Of
several thousand persons here today
declared that the disposal Of the fed
eral property at Muscle Shoals near
here Is a national issue now and
will be one of the prime issues in
the next presidential contest.
eff the members of congress do
not accept the Ford proposal for
Muscle Shoals" the senator asserted,
"they will be very foolish and will
have shown Tery poor business jpdg-
ment."
Senator Underwood devoted his
entire speech to review of the
Muscle Shoals development, and
took occasion to point out how vital
ly important the nitrate plants and
dam are, both in war and peace.
He said that only one business-like
offer had been made to the govern
ment for the project and that was
the Ford proposal. He asserted that
there are only two alternatives be-
fore congress, the acceptance of
Ford's offer or the authorization of
government operation of the project.
Previous to his address which was
made at the state normal school
amphitheater, Senator Underwood
was the honor guest at a luncheon
rendered by the civic clubs of the
Muscle Shoals district, and after the
luncheon he headed parade which
passed through Sheffield, Tuscumbia

StreamIine Effect
At Last Adopted
For Ford Models

DETROIT, Aug. 26.-The I Jrd
automobile takes its place among the
automobiles of "streamline" with
the 1924 model, to appear September
1, it was announced Saturday. There
will be no price changes.
A higher radiator on all types is
the outstanding feature of the new
design. The radiator is one and a
half inches higher, allowing
streamline, running from the radla-
tor to the back of the body. The
abrupt jump from the hood to the
body is reduced by the higher radia-
tor.
The cooling system is improved
by the larger radiator. An apron
at the bottom of the radiator, join
ing the two front tenders gives a
finished appearance to the front of
the car. A most drastic change in
design is made in the new model
Ford coupe, which has an entirely
new body construction.
The streamline effect is also ap-
piled to the four-door sedan. The
one-man top and the slanting wind
shield is continued in the touring
car. The radiator and hood i'm

Silent
Under Reproof for
Wilson Criticism

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Earl
Of Birkenhead, former lord chancel-
lor of England, who began a lecture
tour Of America with an address in
Williamstown Friday night before
Institute of Politics. Saturday was
charged by Henry Breckenridge, as
sistant secretary of war under
Woodrow Wilson, with having made
impudent remarks concerning the
former president.
In letter to John w. Davis,
president of the American Bar asso-
citation, Mr.. Breckenridge, as a MEM
Der Of the association, expressed re-
greet that Lord Birkenhead had been
invited to address the organization
at it's annual convention in Minneap-
oils and said he hoped eff it proves
necessary for him to fulfill his en-
gagement to speak, it may be in
timated to him that the expression
Of such opinions concerning a great
American statesman is distasteful
and intolerable to any self-respecting
American audience.
Lord Birkenhead, in Saratoga Satur-
day for the races, declined to COM
ment on the criticism of his address
in which he asserted that Mr.. Will
Son went to the peace conference
with hope as his principal equip
ment; that the world was not ready
for his idealism, and that, by mis-
judging his own countrymen, he be-
came the agent of postwar develop
ments from which his mind would
have recoi1ed.
