count of the lack Of time for the In

PARADE
Pageant Rich in Reminders of

ThrOngs Despite Of Rain on
Friday

A heavy shower Friday after
noon came very near spelling the
parade, but the pioneer features
were all ready and many Of the
decorated cars were out when
the rain started, and Frank Col
Inns, manager of the parade,
lined up the different features,
though it was found necessary to
make some changes in the or
der from that planned, but with
the 16Srd Regiment band in the
lead the march up Main street
from Church avenue to the court
house and back was completed,
hundreds Of people standing in
the rain to see what they con-
sidered one Of. the most interest
ing parades ever given from a
historical standpoint.
The "Old and the Newv was the
general idea Of the parade, and the
thought was to show modes Of travel
in the sixties compared with those
Of today, the covered wagon, the
stage coach, the yOkes Of oxen, the
pack horse and the horse and buggy
as well as men, women and children
on horseback appeared in the frs
part of the parade, some of the WON
en- having side saddles that had beel
'usad in pioneer days. Some Of tn
veteran pioneers with grey beard
were among the riders with about Y
local people. In calling attention 0
the pioneers to the parade, Mr.. Stat
ford at the morning session said tn
committee had mot asked the peOpl
putting in floats to have expensivel
decorated rigs, and the parade did nc
represent large expenditure Of moT

now handled by the city court than
1t now takes the city court to handle
the same business, for the city courts
business for the past two years has
been IL cases per day against 6 for
| the superior court.
There are many reasons why the
city court should not be abolished |
know OF no good reason why it should
be abolished Its existence actually
saves large sum to this county each
year in dollars and cents. The city
court can convene for the disposition
OF criminal cases at any time. A great
many times a criminal is put in Jail
who desires to plead guilty to the
crime charged. He can appear before
THE city court and do so at once. II
the city court is abolished he would
have to lie in jail until the superior
court convened in regular session.
which might be four or five or even
six months. The county would be put
to the expense of feeding this prison
er. The average Of these cases runs
from II to 70 per annum. This is an
other item OF considerable saving to
the county
After all, the reasons for or against
the city court comes down to dollars
and cents. ! have included herein the
figures for 1928 and 1924 Figures for
the previous years, going back as far
as 1919, are very much more favor
able for the city court. The auditor 5
report which is on file in the ordi-
nary's office and is available to any
one interested, shows that for the fs-
cal year ending March /, 1921, the
revenue from the city court over all
disbursements was $177469, showing
that for that period it did not cost the
county any sum whatever for the city
court, but that it is an institution that
actually paid dividends to the county.
For the year 1910 it cost 5000 per
case to the county for city court cases
and $37 per case for cases tried in the
superior court.
Ii there are Objectionable features
OF the city court it strikes me that the
proper procedure would be to amend
the act rather than repeal it. If the
house is infested with rats it is not
wise to burn the house to dispose OF
the rats.
I do not think that with the full
fact before the public they will seri-
ously consider the abolition of the
city court. The court belong to the
people, and the people have to pay
for its operation, but | fail to see the
wisdom of abolishing the court unless
at the same time the business could
be abolished Yours truly,
R. R. JONES.

Begins to Show His Age;
Is Only 40 at Present
Just Married Again, and Is Cutting
Third Set of Teeth.

LONDON.-Hajj Tahir. Of Trans
Jordania, oldest man in the world, is
beginning to show his age, which is
140 years.
Hail Tahir is still sound in mind
and limb, eats well, has just married
again, and is beginning to cut his
third set Of teeth" said H. St. John B.
Philbin, former British political officer
in Trans Jordania, in a lecture at the
Royal Geographical Society. But his
and incoherent speech is be
ginning to betray his approaching
senility.'
In 1903, the year before George
Washington died, Hail Tahir moved
from his native Syria to Mecca TO
make his way in the world He mar
ried for the first time in 1855, and
celebrated his centenary at about the
time the last pickaninnies whom
Washington had patted on the head
were beginning to drop Off
Now, when the children who saw
Lincoln are wearing out their second
set OF false teeth, Hail Tahir is COM
planning OF the pain OF cutting his new
real ones.

NEW INVENTION THAT
SEES INTO THE FUTURE
Machine Can Tell All About What
VIII Happen to Humans.

A machine that is said to be able
TO look into the future and tell all
about men, women and children and
their future conditions is the latest
wrinkle in the field OF science. The ma
chine, says a report from Princeton
University, was invented by Stuart c.
Dodd, a student.
The device by mechanical system
OF computing statistics is said to be
able TO tell a mans expectancy OF life
by comparing his physical ailments
or habits with the average result" .
Of others in his class.
Ii can tell by the quantity OF tobac-
co a man smokes, it is said, by the
number OF weeks in a year he is sick,
and by his blood pressure just what
his condition. will be 10, 20 or 80 years
hence.
The device, according to scientists,
has almost superhuman powers and at
the same time is less complicated than
the most simple typewriter.

A TINY DICTIONARY IS
MOST UNIQUE VOLUME
Is Size of Thumb Nail and Supposed
To Be Smallest in World.

Hardly longer than ones thumb
nail is a unique and stiny volume, the
smallest English dictionary in the
world, possessed by Brooklyn girl,
Miss Evelyn G. Swenson.
Weighing only a fraction OF one
ounce the "Lilliputian" book, which
has 384 pages and contains some To-
OOO words and their definitions, IS
three-sixteenths OF an inch thick, three
quarters OF an inch wide and just one
inch long. says the Brooklyn Eagle
The Smallest dictionary came 10
Miss Swenson over Is years ago as a
present from one OF her school teach
ers. who had bought it while on a va
cation in England. 1t has since been a
source Of entertainment Tor her TRENDS
ard family, and also curio and treas
IRE
And then one reads, with the aid
of reading glass, that 1t was printed
IN Glasgow, Scotland by Robert Ma
clehose. $50 West Nile street.
The microscopic preface reads IN
mart: "Space has been found for a
considerable number OF puzzling words
occurring in the scientific and other
higher literature OF our time.
Care. however, has been taken to
omit none OF those common words
whose spelling or exact use occasions
at times momentary difficulty even
TO a well-educated people" And then
il tells the reader that the book IS MADE
in a handy and it is hoped, not IN
elegant form.
