constituted 43.2 per cent of the
total revenue for 1922, 800 per
cent for 1918, and 1875 per cent

DOWN AND CUTTERS.
(By Larry Ho.)


Not long ago New York City was
lit up and illuminated in one mans
honor. Governors, mayors, members
of the cabinet, business men, law
yers, society folks, were all there
to praise this man.
Who was it?
His name was Ballington Booth.
Ever hear of him? What has he
ever done? Why, nothing except
to love men, to help men to live with
them and boost them and lift them
up.
Less than thirty years ago he
started the Volunteers of America.
Against tremendous odds, and great
prejudice he fought the fight and
established his organization forever
as a factor in the redemption of
the down and out.
He talked a religion that plain
folk understand. He did not point
the finger of scorn at the weak.
He showed his shoulder under their
burden. He did not talk theology
ito broken hearted men, he talked
human affection to them. He
opened his heart and took every
body in. Churches despised him. for
he was irregular. Preachers
scorned him because he was 'sensa-
tionaP.
But he loved men. He told men
about Jesus. Now Jesus, as some
of you may know, was man hated
by the rich and powerful. But
Ballington Booth talked about him
right out in the open. He told out
cast men that Jesus loved them.
And he made them believe it. And
outcast men flung their arms around
the Cross and grew up to goodness
and nobility.
After a quarter of a century the
world pays tribute to this man
just because he has loved men.
And the churches that fought him
are unknown outside of the society
columns.

bit OF space. The plan is typical,
with no change TOR the second or the
first floor. There is an entrance YES
tibule on the lower floor, and from
2 this access is had to the hall OF the
first floor, and by stairway to the Sec
Ond floor.
Although this building has been de-
signed to make the most of the usual
narrow city lot, it will be seen that
ample provision has been made for
light and ventilation, in case other
buildings build close up to adjoining
building lines. If it were to be erect
ed on a corner lot, or were to Oc-
cupy lot of good size, without danger
Of other buildings encrOaching too
close, so much the better. In such
a case it would naturally be better
in every way to have face brick ex-
tend around the sides also, instead OF
being merely on the front portion.
An apartment building like this is
good for another reason, since many
property owners have graduated from
the ownership Of a small fiat building
to being the landlords of much larger
buildings, their initial experience
standing them in good stead. With
good tenant proper upkeep of two
fiat building is no more than that of
an ordinary private dwelling. In win
ter fires must be kept up; springtime
decorating must be done; proper pride
in ones place suggests some attention
to landscaping the ground with flowers
and shrubbery. All this Is work which
is not doubled when we consider It in
relation to the two-f1at building, for
with the usual house owner 1t is work
which must be done anyway.
One suggestion which has to do with
the interior arrangement might not be
inapropos. That is in connection with
the fireplace. The day Is gone when
the fireplace was the support, merely,
Of the scroll-framed mirror above it.
Gone, likewise, is the day of the fire
place twice as massive as the size of
the room permits. Choose fireplace
that will not exceed half the height
Of the room, and which will not jut
out unnecessarily far into the area of
the room.

CLIMATE HAS NOT CHANGED
Probably the Same for a Billion
or More Years.

Biologists now hold that one thou
sand million years ago-yes, one thou
sand million, not one million-the
earth had climate not greatly diff
ferent from that Of today.
The radio active minerals and their
products in the rocks seem to prove
that the earliest known sedimentary
rocks must have been laid down one
thousand million or more years ago.
The life of that time as read from the
rocks was essentially like the lower
types that still exist. Similar she'll
fish, worms and other forms today
can live only where the temperature
does not remain permanently below
freezing and where it never rises
much above perhaps $50 degrees
Fahrenheit
The air of those vastly remote days
must have been much like that Of to-
day, for even the lowly forms of life
require oxygen, nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide and water in order to live and
reproduce their kind. The sun Itself
cannot have been greatly different
from our present sun, for otherwise
the earths climate would have been
so different from that of today that
1T would have been wholly incom-
patible with the forms of life from
which all present life appears to be
descended.
So for perhaps one thousand million
years the climate of the earth has ap-
parently not passed beyond the limits
where life, as we know it, can -four
ish. How this Is possible, how the
sun can have remained hot, how the
earth's atmosphere can have retained
so nearly the same composition, and
how the climate can repeatedly have
changed and yet always have been
brought back almost to the same
condition, Is one Of the most puzzling
Of the unsolved mysteries Of science.

tember the corporation announced an
increase Of 20 per cent to all en-
ployees other than those in the rail
way service.
That the labor situation is most un-
satisfa ctory and growing worse daily
was the assertion Of steel officials.
Inquiry ELECTED the information that
few men, not more than the daily
quota, were applying for jobs. With
the building industry paying 70 cents

possible to secure for less, highly
placed steel officials sorrowfully ad'

AnnOQncefS: CrdmDleC C he-
haffey. The following program is
broadcasted from the Licking
County Jail for the expressed
benefit Of the taxpayers of this
county at whose expense this pro-
gram is being staged.
PROGRAM
Jails were originally intended
for those who are a menace and
who do harm to the community.
No evidence has ever been intro
duced in any Ohio court that a
Chiropractor ever harmed any one.
Then why put them in jail?
No private citizen has ever
caused the arrest of any Chlro-
practor in this state. However,
more than 165 Chiropractors have
been arrested in the last three
months bv paid agents of the Ohio
State Medical Board.
At Columbus DR.. Roscoe l..
Ford, Chiropractor, cured a case
of talking sickness that was given
up" by the greatest medical "eX-
perts" in the state Two weeks
later he was slammed" in Jail, and
is there now, serving six months.
The only witness to appear against
him was a paid agent of the me-
dical men.
In ancient times medical doctors
killed their competitors with a
club. The modern method in Ohio
is much different; they jail them
it's less brutal, but equally as de-
plorable.
Chiropractors go to JAIL be-
cause the law under which they
are convicted is a selfish, un-
American and unjust law. 1t pro-
vides that the taxpayers shall pay
all costs of prosecutions, but that
all fines collected as result OF
such prosecutions shall be paid
not into the state treasury, but
into the hands of the medical
board! Is this Square deal :"
Can you blame the Chiropractors
for going to jail in preference to
paying fines to their "competl-
tors 2" Surely not!
Why are Chiropractors denied
trial by jury? The law under
which the medical doctors are pro-
scouting the Chiropractors denies
them jury trial. Is this mani
festation of the American spirit
of liberty, or is it autocratic per-
secution?
The medical men are making
war on their Chiropractic COM
petitors, but the taxpayers OF
Licking county and the state OF
Ohio are footing the bill" Al
ready more than $50,000.00 of the
taxpayers money has been spent
by medical men in determined
but unsuccessful effort to exter-
inmate Chiropractors from Ohio.
We are in jail for a nrinciple
and we'll "rot in our cells" before
we will pay one cent of money in
the way of fines, which the law
provides shall be turned over to
our enemies-the medical doctors
to be used by them to further
their war of determination against
us.
