vestigating "hand bookmakers"
discover a bookmaker who de-
posts between $16,OOO,000 and
$19,O00,O00 a year in Cincinnati
banks.
A bool1maker can deposit only
what the little betting fools lose.
Let them think it over.
A geological garden for insects
only, and occupying forty-one
acres, will furnish a national OBJ
ject lesson.
1t will show the good done by
some insects, the harm done by
others.
Without insects, for instance,
there would be no blackberries.
Without humble bees, as the
Australians discovered, with
amazement, you cannot have
clover for your sheep. 1t would
be easy to destroy all the insects
in an orchard, but if you did that
you would ruin the fruit crop.
With insects, as with other ami
mails, the dangerous kinds are in
a minority. But the dangerous
ones are very dangerous.
The insect geological garden is
much more important to human
beings now than the old fashioned
kind. Mans dangerous enemies
are no longer the wolves, lions,
catamounts and snakes. Where
wolves at their worst might kill
800 people in a year, one. little
demon 'of a microscopic life, the
colon bacillus, carrying with it
Asiatic cholera, will destroy mil
lions of lives.
German scientists, fighting con-
tagious diseases, adopt this motto:
"DOn't let your children be kissed
by strangers"
A better motto would be:
"DOn't let your children be kissed
by ANYBODY"
Kissing children that do not
belong to you is offensive and dan
gerous stupidity, and that applies
to politicians, and all others.
You nsed not be diseased to be
a carrier of disease. Your own
system may resist germs that
would be fatal planted on the deli
cate mucous membrane of a child.
The automobile industry is now
greatest i'll the United States, to-
falling NOR than S3,163, 100000.
Lhe steel industry comes second,
about SI00G00,000 behind the auto
mobile. Third comes tn business
CT siaughtering and selling ami
mails, more than $500, 100000 be-
hind steel. We have reached the
age of billions, our first ten indus
rlies being above the billion mark.
This is to be a great automobile
year. April produced 420,373 cars,
May is expected to go 10000 high
er.
II you believe that every mans
death is fixed in advance, this
interests you. William Erie, work
ing underground in Missouri, might
have said that, with all its disad-
working in a mine at
least kept you safe from lightning.
But lightning struck the steam
boiler at the top of the mine
shaft, knocking ever Roy Fenix,
followed a steam pipe $50 feet in
to the ground and killed Erie.
"No man can escape his fate"
says German proverb, and SUI
which has frequently
courage, has carried on
the theory, n
