Origin of "Good-by."

The meaning of "good-by," though
sometimes enormously given as "God
buy-or redeem-you," is undoubtedly
"God be with ye," and as such has
been clipped into its modern form.

TALK MARRIAGE AGE
Bishop Believes Groom should He 2S.
 Bride 22

LONDON, June 16.-Two noveljsts. bishop, a writer and a fashionable preacher have announced their views on the proper age for marriage,
 The gentle Bishop Weldon, Dean of Durham, thinks the proper age for man is around twenty-etght years and that of his bride twenty two.
 This coincides with the judgment of the royal house of England as the Duke of York was tWenty-seven when his marriage took place and the Duchess is five years his junior.
 H. De We're Stacpoole, d noleVist, thinks the Duke took the plunge a bit early. He would have the ideal groom just turned thirty years and his bride twenty-four.
 Coulson Kernahan, writer, believes the proper year for marriage is the year in which mutual acquaintance ship has progressed to the point where true love of q real and lasting character has arrived. Don't, he cautions, be fooled by the mere sex attraction. which is responsible for so many unhappy marriages.
 The Rev. Dinsdale F. Young, fash iorable preacher, declares for early marriages and arraiens those who allow selfishness to delay their we'd ding. bells.
 Joseph Hooking, novelist, comes out flat for the Rev. Young's views. When the man is twenty-two and the girl nineteen the time Is ripe, he says.

NIGHT FLYING MAY SOON BE POPULAR, AIR EXPERTS SAY
MacReady- Stunt Proves
 Feasibility Of Trips In

CHICAGO. June 9.-(By Associated ress)-Night flying by aviators has been brought squarely before the public by the great nonstop flight across the continent by Lieutenants MacReady and Kelley and, through this demonstration of its feasibility. general night flying and the delivery of mail during the night may become an accomplished fact before the end of the summer, according to l. J. O'Malley of Chicago, in a recent ad- dress before the Chicago Aviation club.
 "A great part of the plans for this epoch making achievement in avia- ton now rests with the public util- ity lighting companies or the cities themselves" said Mir. O'Malley. Guide or beacon lights are necessary for night flying, particularly when stops are to be made for delivery Of mail or passengers. A great start has been made in this respect, as well as in the construction of landing fields, and probably more work Will be done in this direction during the coming summer.
 The United States Aerial Mail has developed plan for flying night mail which seems thoroughly practi- cable, once the various cities over which the night mail passes agree to maintain the necessary lighting Sys- tenn and emergency landing fields.
 Tt Is fact that the whole future success of the aerial mail hinges upon the success of night flying, since the time that is lost by laying over nights would eliminate the say ing in time obtained through day flying.
 "The night flyer is reduced to fly ing by compass, and no compass haS yet been evolved that is sufficiently reliable to be depended upon exclu- slvely. Then the question of forced landings is involved. In event Of motor failure the flyer is obliged to make landing. This is sometimes dangerous, although not as much as ore might think since a plane, prop erly equipped with searchlight ope,, , rated from battery, can be guided intelligently when near the ground although being without power lg cannot rise again if the ground IS unsuitable for landing.
 "In general. night flying depends upon beacon lights at various polnts along the route by which the flyer may know his location; emergency landing fields indicated by up ward streaming searchlights; planes equipped with searchlights for land ing and the cultivation of ni6ht .flvino. Sense'"

PAWN SHOPS TELL MONTE CARLO TALE
Costly Jewels Often "Hocked' To Get Travel
 Money

MONTE CARLO, June 16.-This worlds greatest gambling center IS in the midst of. wealth and luxury unsurpassed, but it is also place where the tricks of fortune turn the millionaire of today into the hungry, empty-pock eted bankrupt of tomor- row.
 That explains why the pawn shop of Monte Carlo is unique among all three ball emporiums in the world.
 There are many pawn shops in Monte Carlo. Naturally. But there is one the most interesting the most popular, which holds on it's dusty shelves more bitter secrets of life than any place in the world.
 Men and women, who have been gambling in thousands, having lost all their funds, cashed all their se- curities and exhausted their credit, suddenly find themselves without even the railroad fare to carry them from the scene of their debacle. The pawn shop is their only resort.
 The story of Monte Carlo could not be more vividly told than in the following list of articles. just a few of the pawned objects offered re gently in the monthly auction of the worlds strangest pawnshop;
 o Q O
 Diamonds Pawncd.
 l.. "A stamp of Faberge, the crown jeweler of Russia.
 2. A collection of 20 wonderful, un- mounted cut stones, which realized 100000 francs.
 3. Six sets of unused. hand em- broidered ladies' lingerie.
 4. Two sable cloaks.
 3. An embossed golf snuff box, en- sraved with a French coronet, obvi- ously priceless heirloom.
 Many of the people who pawned these articles bore names widely known in the social world on both sides of the Atlantic.
 Their systems" having collapsed before the inexplicable pranks of the spinning wheel, their visits to the pawn shop are marked by the go the jewels; they raise the most money with the least loss of per- snoal discomfort. The second visit results in depositing the losers trinkets-cigarette cases are most in evidence. And then follows the in dispensables." such as extra suits. shoes, baggage and so on down the line until the vanquished gambler is stripped and must beg. borrow or steal his train fare home.
 The story is told that Monte Car los leading pawn broker once lent railroad fare on a two-year-o baby. holding it as security while the broken parents went home to raise the funds for its release.
 It is not always possible to place the pawned objects on the shelves prospective purchasers. Articles re- gently "in hook" included Rolls Royce automobile, sea going yacht and a blooded bull terrier.

ENGLAND HAD LIQUOR
 LAW BACK IN l736

LONDN, June 16.-There's nothing new under the sun, even in the mat ter of escaping the rigors of law full prohibition.
 As long ago a 173s the English House of Commons passed the Geneva act, which put prohibitory duty on all spurious liquors.
 Resourceful Englishmen turned to the same expedients that thirsty Americans are adopting almost 200 years later.
 An English newspaper printed just after the passage of the English pro- hibition law tells that:
 "A certain person near St. James Market continues selling drams, be- ing colored red, having a large label tied to the bottle on which is wrote, Take or 3 spoonfuls of this 4 or , times day, or as often as the fit is on you
 This red colored connection was found Geneva gin, and the ailing one who took It as often as the fit was on him could confidently expect an imm ediate change in his condition.
 Numbers of people go about the streets with caggs of Geneva and glasses under pretence of crying ink, and when you accost them they ask you If are for dram."
 Recently arrived Americans burst right out into nostalgiac tears on reading the foregoing paragraph, so faithful a picture of the dear home- land did it seem to them.
 Mir. Volsteads prohibition panto- mime is great fun for England. Pro hibition jokes have even penetrated the House of Commons. An NJ F.. re- gently returned from America, told his colleagues new one about the man who named near-beer and his faulty judgment of distance.
 Several of the members caught or at once and laughed right out. Others became suddenly hysterical when leaving the House several hours later and one member who left for India the day after the new one was sprung up is reported to have suffered a paroXysm of laughter when passing Gibraltar and to have subsequently died
 It was frightfully funny. as one English journalist naively put it after hearing the story in the House.
 England, too. has had her liquor troubles. and it Is also recounted in the newspaper of 1736 that "One Will liam Thomas, after having drunk nine quarterns of Geneva, in the Cath crime Wheel Yard dn St. James street died immediately gt
 "A tumult," it Is further declared being observed last Monday at the door of a certain gin shop, some gentlemen had the curic sity to in- quire why such a number of people were got together. and found that i; was no more than that a man had fallen from his horse stone dead just as he had drunk his eighteenth dram"

SEES ARCTIC REGION
 AS COMING EMPIRE
Noted Explorer Wants Britain To
 Exploit Polar Lands

LONDON, June 16.-The Arctic re- gions are not frozen waste, but the undream ed of empire of tomor- row" according to Vilhjalmur Ste fansson, the explorer. who is trying to persuade the British government to exploit the polar lands as a further source of imperial wealth.
 Stefansson should know whereof he speaks. He has spent 10 winters and 13 Summers in the polar seas.
 We are at the beginning of a new era with regard to polar terri tory" he told interviewers. .'The Arctic region is not desolate and frigid, but a highly inhabitable and healthy land When opened up, it will be an incalculable asset to the British empire"
 Stefansson recalled that people thought Canada and Alaska bad bar gains when they were first obtained by Britain and the United States.
 The hardships of the "forzen north are mythical, 1t would seem. Stefans- son says any white man can live with comfort in 90 per cent of the polar country.
 The explorer believes that the air plane will lead to the rapid practica development of the land surround ing the north pole. A short aerial route to China. he says, may be devel- oped across the top of the earth. This would become valuable for both pas senger and freight purposes.
 The flying conditions" he said. "are as good in the polar area as in any other part of the world. This fact eventually will necessitate a new imperial outlook and new iO : perial policy.
 "The new route to China would be a great time-saver. For example, from London to Tokio via the polar route 4 tance over the trans-Siberian rail- way Is S.557 miles. A saving of be- tween 5000 and 1000 miles would thus be effected"

 Dear Sir
 When printing list of Axidents for Satdy night would you please to men tton that my heart is broken? Thank you l shall tell how that was.
 A few days of yore l thought I would get married to Miss Kiku-san, Japanese menicure, so 1 took her to an actual Theater where I supposed that she would learn to love me by watching Hon. Actors doing so. By every rule of education this should be so, Mir. Editor. But ladies are so vice versa.
 Name of that play were Romeo & Juliet by famous bookmaker who is now dead. It was filled with moons, kiss-kiss ceremony, poison. murder and everything that persons should know about before getting married. The language was pretty good, too, though slightly worn. But what did Miss Kiku-san do all that time while Italian scenery was on stage and actors enraging up & down in long stockings? She set there reading Pro gram with publick library expression.
 70 Miss Kiku-san." revamp, why you set there in F darkness reading so studdiously? While look ing at Program you miss the Play"
 'I notice that she narrate. T was trying to dishcover name of this Piece and who was acting.

 Do you not think Hon. Shakes peare could say pretty talk?" l ask to know. But Miss Kiku-san can tinue reading that Program:

AME EHIGAN AUT0d OPEN UP REM0TE. PARTS OF ORIENI
Threaten To DiSpIace Rail- roads In Syria, Palestine
 And Mesopotamia

BEIRUT. Syria. June 16.-Ameri- can automobiles threaten to sup- plant railroads In many parts of tha Near East. Throughout Syria, Pales- tine Mesopotamia and in certain parts of Transjordania and Arabi, fleets of American motor cars how link up remote cities and towns and afford the traveller a cheaper and more comfortable journey than tT rail.
 In some of the sparsely settled and scattered regions Of the Mediterran- ear and interior countries, Yankee motor cars have blazed the way 10 places which heretofore were access slble only by long and tiresome Journeys on donkeys and camels In Syria and Palestine 90 per cent of all automobiles in ure are of American make.
 American tourists to the Holy Land are now able to make the trip from Bierut to Jerusalem by automobile over excellent roads. Before the adj vent of the American car the 200 mile trip from Beirut to the Holy City occupied nearly a week; today it can be done in ten hours.
 Many Good Roads.
 Americans at home who think of Palestine as 1t is depicted In ths Bible pastoral land untouched by modern life, would perhaps be sur- prised to find the whole region cov- cred by a great arterial network of splendid roads and fast-moving motor cars. The wooden plough, the hand seythe, and the other primitive im- plements which for thousands ot years were used to make this land fertile and productive, have given way to modern American agricul- tural machinery. In the larger pro- ductive areas the camel and the oN4 cart have been supplanted by time- saving power tractors.
 o O Q
 Conquer Distance.
 In the old days before the War U took four days tC journey from Jerusalem to Nazareth. Today 1t can be done in four hours Along the old tracks the camel, heavily laden, still wends his way. never so much as turning his head at the boot of the caravan of automobiles.
 The long cherished idea Of quick land route from the Mediterranean to Bagdad and India also has been brought within the relm of practical experience by the development of motor car service between Beirut and Haifa and Haifa and Dana seus. This route brings Bagdad within sixty hours land journey of the Mediter- ranean. The course takes one through Damascus. then across the Syrian desert 10 Ramadje and on 10 Bagdad, a distance of 59o miles, With only one stop halfway between pa- maseus and Damadje and Rutba Wells, the only available oWatec source throughout that stretch ut l desert.
