Utmost Publicity Used
According to Miss Ethel NJ. Smith,
who has just returned from the Mas

working under commission from the
American Federation Of Labor and the
National Women's Trade Union
League, "The victory in this referen-
dunn went to the side which could
command the means Of communication
to the masses of voters. Utilizing
every channel of publicity that money
can buy-advertising space, radio,
and public platform, as well as hand
bills and ,pamphlets--the opposition
spared unparelled Misrepresentation

Their campaign caused a panic vote
by an electorate deceived and alarmed
over the bogey of bolshevism, with
which the mill owners attempted to
identity the constitutional amendment

ish child labor.
"Our forces were not prepared
for the astonishing misstatements that
were broadcasted by the opposition.

SCHOLAR NOTED FOR
HIS ECCENTRICITIES
Many Amusing Stories Are
Told of Doctor Spooner.

The retirement of Rev. DR.. w. A.
Spooner, the distinguished English his
torian, who has been successfully fel-
low, tutor and warden of New college,
Oxford, has caused an outburst of
anecdotes in the British press. for Doc
tor Spooner's habit of interchanging
letters or syllables. with results that
were sometimes very amusing. is fa-
nous wherever Oxford men are found
Indeed, the fame of "Spoonerisms"
eclipsed his very considerable fame as
a scholar, much to the ironic amuse-
ment of the victim himself.
There is good deal of doubt as to
the authenticity of many anecdotes
told about Doctor Spooner. but at least
the noun "Spoonerism' is enshrined
officially in the New English dictionary /:
"Spoonerism (f. the name of Rev.
W. A. Spooner-1844). An accidental
transposition of the initial sounds or
other parts Of two or more words"
and Oxford slang has known the word
joyfully for so years.
One of the most famous Spooner-
isms Is said to have been uttered in a
sermon which Doctor Spooner preached
at Oxford. "Ah, brethren" he said,
"are you never conscious of a half
warmed fish within the breast?" Who
would recognize In that extraordinary
sentence "half-formed wish?" 1t was
Doctor Spooner who, at the conclusion
of the Oxford celebration of Queen
victoria's jubilees. called for three
cheers for "our queer old dean"-an
honor which that functionary might
we'll have appreciated in spite of the
adjective. but which did little honor to
the "dear old queen" for whom the
celebration was held. 1t was Doctor
Spooner also who in bicycling days Is
supposed to have dismounted to "boil
his icicle."
One student of New college insisted
to his dying day that the warden had
rebuked him for lighting liars" in the
he took his history class severely to
task for "hissing all my mystery lee
lures" There is also tale of an un-
fortunate graduate whose waste OF
time led to the accusation that he had
tasted two whole worms" Doctor
Spooner is said on one occasion to have
read out the first line Of the hymn.
"Conquering kings their titles take"
as "Kinkering kongs their titles take"
and to have proposed the royal toast,
"Gentlemen, the king" as "Kingle-
men, the gent" to the mild dismay of
the assemblage.
Being a kind-hearted and philosophic
person, the ex-warden of New college
finds a quiet diversion in the gradual
multiplication of anecdotes about him,
nine-tenths of which, needless to say,
are apocryphal, though none the less
amusing for that trifling fact.-From
the Living Age.

Selecting the Hat

Men are just as vain when buying
hats as women. according to the OBJ
servations of several leading haber-
daSherS of Boston. One mirror never
satisfies the man customers, but they
walk around to every mirror in the
establishment to get different views.
The average man tries on at least
ten hats before he makes a choice,
and some have been known to try
twenty-five. Unlike women, the men
generally do buy, once they have en-
tered a store.
And men are just as anxious for the
new styles as women. They are al
ways on the lookout for the latest
color and like to wear what the other
man is wearing.
"Seventy-five per cent of our GUS
toners buy gray hats while the re-
naming % per cent buy brown" said
a Boston haberdasher. MANY men
bring their friends with them when
buying to help them in a choice All
men would make better choices if
they took the salesman's advice about
what is becoming. Good statesmen
can usually guess mans hat size at
first glance and they always know
what is most becoming" g"-Clothier

Neu Refrigeration Idea

Freezing with carbon dioxide is a
new method of fish refrigeration being
tested at the Atlantic biological sta
ton In Canada, according to reports
received by the American Chemical
society. The use of solid carbon di-
oxide, 1t is asserted, has several ad-
vantages. The lowering of tempera-
ture by this means retards spelling,
and the cooling can be controlled with
in wide limits. The carbon dioxide
also excludes the air while the pene-
tration of the juices of the fish by car
bon dioxide gas has an additional pre-
servative effect. Weight for weight
solid carbon dioxide has twice the
cooling power of artificial ice, and it
Is believed that the cost of production
can be kept down to about the same
figure.

FeGfs of Endurance
by Beasts of Burden

A well-bred Shetland pony Is no
more than 40 inches in height, yet Is
capable of carrying on its back full
grown man. Which is proof that it
Is not only size which counts In the
matter of strength.
Two animals that are much strong
er than is usually supposed are the
pig and the sheep. Bears have often
been broken to harness and have
been used for powing, and on a GER
tain Bedfordshire estate a large hog
has been trained as a saddle animal.
AT the same place sheep have been
used for riding and were found quite
equal to bearing the weight of full
grown man, says London Tit-Bits.
1t Is not many years since oxen
were used for plowing In this country.
The present writer saw one of the
last yokes of oxen at work in an Ok
fordshire field within the last 20
years. Again, the little Indian OK, the
zebu, Is a capital draft animal and
can trot at merry pace.
Horses are plentiful on the eastern
plains of South America. but do not
do well In the Andes, where their
place as beasts of burden is taken by
mules and by the llama, large sheep
like creature with very long coat
Llamas will carry 60 to 80 pounds
apiece over the most appalling noun
tain passes on very little. food.
There is, however, one point to be
remembered about them. They are
dreadfully nervous creatures and they
will not stand being beaten or i'll
treated. In the Andes they will work
for their owners and for nobody else.
The Lapps still use the reindeer as
a draft animal and a good reindeer
will pull sleigh 80 miles day. The
elk has been similarly used and was
found able to do a journey of 80 miles
in one day. This compares well with
the horse, for which the one-day rec
ord Is a little over hundred miles.

Important for Radio

Most people. when they buy radio

Few, though, bother much about their

Popular Science Monthly, and for this
reason you should spare neither pains
nor trouble in supplying it.
If possible. 1t should be special

ground a few feet from the house, and
