 In addition to the perpetual pensions granted by act of parliament, England has had to pay large amounts in the past in order to commute revenues heedlessly created by the last of the. Stuart kings, says The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The duty of shilling on every tom of coal exported from the Tyne, grant. ed to the duke of Richmond and his for an 1878, was redeemed in 1Tn6 for an annuity of $95,00, and this wsn subsequently commuted for $S, POO, GOO.
 A sinecure office held by the duke q Grafton was bought out in 1888 for $113,800. The third duke of royal. de- sent, St. Albans, held tho office of master of the Hawks until 1891, when the then holder of the title received $91, 700 in compensation for q post which had long been obsolete. sS
 In different category was the sovs ereignity of the Isle of Man, attached to the dukedom of Athoi. The third duke disposed of this right to the Brit tish government for $850,000 in the eighteenth century, but the family still retained privileges and property in the island and another sum of $2,045, 900 was paid for their redemption to the fourth duke about one hundred years ago. l.

 There are now 2S youngsters there, ranging from about 6 to IS years old. In, all, more than three hundred other wise homeless and, friendless children Mrs.haye been. cared for by Mir. and Mrs. Johnston until they were able to go out in the world.
 No proper complaint can be lodged against Mir. and Mrs Johnston for taking care of these children. That in itself is not unusual.

Earl Cooper, Veteran Racer, To Pilot Blue
 Creation In Indianapolis Classic

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 25.- Earl Cooper, veteran automobile rae. ing driver when many of the present generation of speed pilots were in swad- ding clothes, has arrived here with his Studebaker Special as, his mount in the Twelfth international 50O-mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30.
 A Great Star
 In the days of yesteryear-when Johnny Aitken. Gil Anderson, Tom Rooney, Dario Resta and Barney Old field were the stars in automobile rae ing's electric lghts-Cooper was a star of the first water.
 He was a first placer in the sizzling road races as well as on specially con structed speedways. Then he went into retirement and followed the more pro- sale existence of d business man on the Pacific coast.
 Suddenly he announced his return to the track. Thai was two years ago. He jumped into Joe Thomas car the day of the Fresno, Cal, race after Thomas was stricken with appendicitis

 Cooper drove the car into first place, giving the group of speeders that had come to the top during his retire ment a lesson in the art of getting around speed bowl required num- Der of times in the shortest period.
 He was second in the Fourth of July race at Kansas City, 1ast year, and second at Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in. 1922 Cooper's best run at Indian apolis was in 1915 when he ran fourth. In 1914 he was the road race champ.
 Cooper is of the studious, mechanical type, who keeps a detailed series of charts aud notes on the actions of his racing car. These should be invaluable to The. Studebaker corporation, under whose banner Cooper is racing
 Welcomed By Mayor
 Cooper was officially welcomed on his arrival here by Mayor Lew Shank His blue speed creation is attracting much attention.

 In Sales


 Firestone tires, are breaking records right along these days Not only. are they breaking mileage records, but they are breaking sales records on account of it.
 May is certain to be the biggest month in the history of Firestone sales in Birmingham, according to Roy Kay, the well known tire manager at McCor- mack Brothers. This local tire concern is being kept busy supplying the heavy demand for gum-dipped cords and bal loon cords. sa5
 The excellent service behind the Firestone line of tires, in addition to the wonderful qualities of the tires themselves, has become so we'll known to Birmingham car owners that Mo Cormack Brothers Motor company has developed tire business which is; sec ond to none in the. city. Their firm slogan of "A Reliable Institution , has been earned by their fair dealings with their customers, and motorists are fast learning to appreciate the value of dealing with reliable merchant. Per haps this fact has contributed to the rapid increase in sales on the Firestone line of tires.

NO OPPOSITION

When the hearing was held last
Friday on the plea of the New Jer-
sey-Pennsylvania Railway Co. to
discontinue the trolley line from
Trenton to Lambertville via Yardley
and New Hope, there wasn't a single
person appearing to protest against
it. The officials of New Hope We're
represented with demand that
II tracks We're taken up that the
paving on the streets should be left
in good condition. Representatives
from the Free Bridge Commission
were present to get the decision so
that repairs can proceed on the
river bridge. If the tracks are re-
moved it will enable a better floor
ing to be placed.
But there was no protest against
disseminating the line The COMPANY
claims it has been losing money.
Certainly they have. Only two or
three passengers are averaged on
the thru trip from Trenton to Lam
bertville. Nowadays nearly every
one has a car, whether it's paid
for or not,) and the increasing num-
Der of automobiles has sealed the
doom of trolleys.
Bus lines are taking their place
everywhere. They are operated more
cheaply, and the people prefer them.
1t is significant that the public did
not protest the discontinuanee of the
Trenton-Lambertville trolleys.

in his June &c issue. Incapable of
writing sensible editorial himself,
he steals three more from the In

and without even using the titles
as given on the advance sheets so
kindly sent him.
One of them begins "In Russia,
the land of greatest experiments"

in this issue under its correct title
and with due credit.
Another begins, owe have heard

off, was "The Spirit OF Service"
The third editorial steal was "a Bus

issued by the Manufacturer on June

that outside of simple personals he
can't write anything but vituperativt

THE INCONSISTENCY OF
HUMAN NATURE

argentina furnishes an excellent
answer to that large body of loose
thinkers who still believe that gov
ernments exist to support people,
forgetting that the people are the
government. These are always
ready to back any scheme by which
a government shall furnish support
to any numbers of people who are
either unable or unwilling to sup
port themselves. Where the gov
eminent is to obtain the needed
money for these altruistic purposes
is merely side issue with these
benevolently inclined persons. Thus
the people of Argentina voted
charitable arrangement by which
the government would provide for
all workers who had completed 25
years of good service-a very
worthy desire. But to support those
who don't work it was, of course,
necessary to tax those who do. So
five per cent of all wages were
set aside to carry out the generous
program the good people of Ar
gentina had voted on themselves.
And the result has been general
strike against paying for what they
voted for, that has tied up every
industry in Buenos Aires. Human
nature is strange, very strange, in
it's reactions"
