PHILOSOPHY
Ru ILL. III
By Uncle bud.

by Uncle Duu.
Uncle bud Says: keeping ever
lastingly at it may bring success,
but keeping everlastingly out of
many things won't do you any great
harm. Some of the ''bobbed"
heads look like accidents that started
out to happen and got lost on the
way"
Usually the man who "feels his
oats" lacks horse sense.
Common sense is just common
enough to be uncommon.
He who lives only for today puts
big mortgage on the future.
The chains of habit are usually
fastened with the paddock of de-
sire.
Paraphrasing an old saying,
there's many a tip 'twixt the cup
and the lip.
The fellow who insists on being
the life of the party generally kills
all the enjoyment for the others.
Most countries claim they want
peace-and keep right on getting
ready to fight for it.
A good man gets knocked from
his perch once in awhile--but he
hits the ground a-climbing.
No, Gwendolen, "Sidelghts on
History" has no reference to Queen
Elizabeth's diamond earrings.
The fellow who likes to criticise
others is the first to get mad when
criticism comes his way.
A young man writes your uncle
asking for the best way to get ac-
quainted with girl. Offhand we'd
say marry her.
Closed cars are said to be get
ting much more popular and num-
erous. Closed mouths are as pop
ular as ever-but there are not
nearly enough Of them.
1t is said that stockings will last
longer if you wash them before
they are worn. Keeping your toe
nails trimmed is another way to
add to the life of your hosiery.
You may have mighty poor
opinion Of the hog that crosses the
road just ahead of your car-but
remember the engineer frequently
has the same kind of an opinion
about you.
The trouble with the average
reformer is that he thinks all good
times are bad times and that all bad
time are good times. His philosophy
appears to be on crooked.
A friend met Smith on the street
and, leading him to one side,
whispered Say, Smitty, l know
where you can get some real liquor
for seven berries a quart" 81 sure
would like to get in on it." came
back Smith, "but as l have six kids
and better two-thirds to look after
! reckon better lay off of that
stuff in favor of the home brood
!
A man called at the office of
a noted surgeon and asked to see
that gentleman, but was told that
he must wait for the doctor was
operating on a man who was un-
fortunate enough to have a golf
ball driven into his abdomen.
Noticing a man pacing nervously
up and down, the visitor asked
who it might be- "Oh," replied the
attendant, that is the golfer; he's
waiting for his ball"

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
 INDlAN-HEAD CENTS?

What has become of the Indian-head cents which were used for many years as the lowest value coin of the United States? Since 1908 when Lincoln cents were first issued, the In dian heads have been gradually disap bearing, until at present there are ap- proximately ten times more of the new issue in use than the old one. Copper cents are noted for their wearing qualities, and it is not req sonable to believe that the Indian heads have succumbed to the hard us age of trade, for the oldest one in cir culation would show but little wear Banks no longer count cents by hand, a machine counting and wrapping the small coins, and as they have never been recalled from circulation the banks have never tried to hold them for return to Washington, D. c when turned in by depositors or by those seeking to make change.
 n CIcCh Ol lilc average ClICuldtIOl of cents showed that in every 100 cents in the city, ninety-One were of the Lincoln issue, the remainder be- ing Indian heads. Of course, a few Canadian cents are found on this side of the line, but their number is negligible compared to the Lincoln cents given in change by the mercn, ants
 In the past few years, the merch- ants say that more and more cent are being used in making change, the people generally coming to accept odd amounts in the prices charged. Time was when especially in the West, that cents were used only as ballast in children's banks, but today the. are found holding an honorable place in nearly every business transaction.
 The war may, of course, be blam- ed for this, for it was during that pc riod that movie theaters collected odd cents in war tax, which tended to in- crease their circulation. Certain it it. however, that the old Indian heads are disappearing from our coinage, and in the collections of numismatists persons who collect old coins and who pay fabulous sums for rare coins.

NO REASON WHY
WE SHOULD FEEL
FEAR OUTCOME
Finnish Power in 1920
Causes Worry to
Some Coaches
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Sports Edstor)

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-It is well
to prepare the American Olympic
team for competition in the Olym-
pic games at Paris next summer un-
der conditions that would cause the
athletes to feel that the games arc
not won when their ship pushed her
nose out into the Hudson.
1t is wise to tell the youngsters
who are getting ready for their first
taste of Olympic competition that
they will have to work hard, tram
conseientiously and be in shape to
do their best.
The athletes who will be selected
to go to Paris know that the Amer
lean team is going to have compe-
tition, but they know also that the
outlook is mot as dark as it is be-
ing painted.
Until recently, it seemed that
the United States was in grave dan
gsr of being defeated in the Olym.
pic track and field games. The
power shown by Finland in 1920
at Antwerp, and the form shown
bv one or two Finnish athletes since
then, caused great fear to fall
upon the United States. a.zs
There is no reason to- expect a
calamity. There are reasons tc
know that the United States will
have contest III Paris, butyivicto
ry is empty without a real contest
and the United States never has
been really pressed before.
Finland made such good show
ing in Antwerp because the AMeI5i sMeI5
can team was crippled by injuries
which either removed from csmpe
tition or impaired the form of sucf
stars as Sol Butler, Joie Ray anet
Matt McGrath. The Firms also made
the best of what material they had
while the management of the Amer
lean team didn't get nearly wha'
should have been gotten Of OF tho
Americans.
