Before Uncle Wiggily could stop

"I must catch jackie and talk to

TRUTH nv ADVERTISING

Present-day advertising IS remarkably honest and
straightforward, compared with that of former days
Yet it sometimes suffers from-let US say, lack OF
lteralness and an excess of imagination. This espe
ciay likely to be the with real estate adverts
ing real estate just naturally sees things IN
golden haze, and tends to himself accordingly
But not all real estate men. Here is notable ex-
ception In booklet issued by New York realty
company dealing in suburban property the prospec-
tive buyer told regarding certain parcel for sale:
"We do not care to recommend such place as this,
for it will furnish very bare living. The land is
down and the buildings also" Of another parcel:
Its only merit is that it is 1900 feet above level and
about 65 miles from New York"
Honest indeed, is it not? Refreshngly honest!
And the example is respectfully passed along to adver
tisers in general for what may be worth in abid
ing conviction that when carried to such excess
this honesty is the best policy For the veracious
New York advertiser may be suspected of deep though
virtuous craft Will not any prospective customer,
reading the unfattering remarks about the worthless
parcels in question take the advertisers word regard
ing all the rest, however eulogistc it may be?

CURRENT MORALITY

What is true and what is false in morals? Here
are some replies received by teachers in true-false
tests as reported by w. G. Shepherd in Good House
keeping:
at is not wrong to steal from one who has secur-
ed his wealth dishonestly.''
1T is more honorable to have charge of an offce
than to work at trade
stupidity is sinful than deceit"
Unnecessarily failing to meet an appointment on
time is not immoral and unchristian
1T is true that duty is greater to secure JUS
tce for the people of own and religion than
for others
"Cheating a railroad is not so much sin as
cheating person..
at is not the pupils duty to call attention to the
fact that teacher has given him too high marks
at is true that if sorekeeper gives you too much
money it is all right to keep it. because he would PROP
ably do the same if you paid him too much
Now whatever may be said for such moral CODE
as is here represented lis certainly not found IN the
Hebrew and Christian Bible, the teachings OF
Buddha, Confucius Mohammed. That it really re-
presents the moral thinking of American children
may be seen from the fact that in purchasing test
in which many children given dime too mucn
in change by shopkeeper, GA per cent of them did
not return the dime either to the shopkeepor the
teacher
What do parents think of such morality?

AUTOMATIC STORM SIGNALS
Mechanical Device Gives Warning to
Electric Light Stations by Ring
inq a Bell.

The passage Of a summer storm
cloud over a great city means that
there will be very large demand
made upon the electric light stations
for increased current, says the PrOvi-
dence Journal. If the power and light
generating station was not prepared
for this call the industries of the To-
cality would be greatly hampered and
the complaints would be Overwhelm-
ing, so that these situations must be
anticipated.
Until recently it has been the Gus
tom to keep on the lookout for storms
by posting an observer on the top of
of the building and upon the approach
of a threatening cloud the alarm
would be given and the fires under the
boilers would be forced, additional
generators thrown into service and
other preparations made to meet the
emergency, and under the old system
these preparations entailed consider
able work in the way of notifying diff
ferenT departments, some located at
some distance, by a rather elaborate
system of calling or signaling.
Recently a mechanical means of ac-
complishing this has been arrived at
A little device near the desk of the
superintendent detects the approach OF
a storm and gives the alarm by ringing
a bell, intermittently at first and later
more insistently, whereupon the su
perintendent gets up and going to the
other end Of the room moves a lever
or two and touches a few electric but
tons and the whole system has beer
notified to get ready for a storm.

PLAN TO BLOW OUT DISEASE
British Doctors Will Use Trade Winds
Against the Mosquitoes Of
Samoa.

Pacific trade winds will be used in
an attempt literally to blow disease

sleader Of the expedition of the Lon

which recently set sail for the South
seas. tuberculosis and other diseases
threaten the extinction Of the natives
Of the Samoatgroup Of islands and II
Is thought their susceptibility may be
due to a condition caused by a tiny
parasite carried by the StegOmyia
mosquito. This mosquito does not
seem to be able to exist where the
dense underground is cut down. By
cutting airways through the dense
jungle so that the Pacific trade winds
can blow through it, 1t Is hoped that
the insects will be blown away. An
intensive attack, which will also In
clude substituting modern cisterns for
the followed cOcOnut storage tanks
which furnish breeding places for the
mosquitoes, will be made first in one of
the small islands of the group. The
expedition is expected to be in the
tropics for two years.
