Mrs. Gordon was a spiritualist, but Mr. Gordon was not He indi- cated to those who listened to Mrs. Gordon as she prattled about her spiritual experiences, that he was not at all in sympathy with her. Nevertheless Mrs. Gordon contin- ued to go to the mediums, and con- tinued to tell MT. Gordon all about it when she came back.
 Mr. Gordon always said that he would not have minded it so much if 1t weren't for the fact that every body pampered Mrs. Gordon. The house always seemed full of rela- tivcs and of friends who clucked sympathetically and nodded their heads in appreciation as Mrs. God don narrated the adventures of her last seance.
 On this evening Mrs. Gordon was in state of unusual excitement. Around her sat the relatives and the friends.

The Mouths of Babes

Bobby's mother was heart broken.
 Something must be done about 1t. Bobby gets worse and worse First 1t was slang. Now it is oaths really offensive ones. And he's only baby - just four. Wherever does he learn such things?"
 Father didn't know, but offered solution,
 Just say 10 him, dear, that, un- less he can speak decently he will have to pack. his little suitcase and live somewhere else. That will bring him to his senses"
 Mother followed this advice.
 Some moments later the front door bell rang. Mother went down. stairs to answer it. Bobby, hated, coated, his little suitcase in his hand, was opening the door to a charmingly-gow lady. Her gentle refined voice inquired:
 Does Mrs. live here?" the name being that of Bobby's mother. Bobby's reply in a rough voice almost galvanized mother.
 Mrs. -? How the heck should I know? I don't live in this d---n house any more."

WILLOW BROOK PARK AND AUTOMOBILES

A little more consideration for the rights of the public to pass through Willow Brook park in au- tomobiles of a Sunday afternoon while football games are being played on Memorial Athletic field has become necessary.
 Complaints are numerous. and an investigation tends 10 indicate they are justified.
 The grumbling has to do with blocking the park roadway at Brook street and also at South Main street, so that innumerable autoists wish ing to traverse Arch street 10 Ken sngton avenue to Brook street are prevented from talk the con- penient and short cut through the park, but are compelled to take pot luck with the traffic jam on South Main street. This is a main artery 10 Berlin and on Sunday Is crowded with machines. When the cars denied admission to the use of the park roadway arc added, the jam is insufferable, resulting in long de- lays.
 The entrance to the park road way is barred because it is desired to prevent automobiles from park ing in the pleasure ground during the game on the score that follow ing rainy weather they would in- jurc the grass, and even during or following dry weather there might be an injury to the grass. This point no doubt is well taken: but in spite Of il there is no reason why auto mobiles should be barred from use of the park highway altogether, as they could be kept moving. It would be merely necessary to adopt a no parking rule during the games and hire one or two policemen to keep automobile traffic moving along the park highway. Such system would prevent the grass from being injured by automobiles and retain the publc's right 10 pass through the park in automobiles, which should never be denied. Those au toists desiring 10 park their cars I while attending the games could do 50 by patronizing the parking space merchants in nearby fields as they do at present.
 The bars should not he down along the road through the park, al though for the sake of preserving tue grays in the playground auto- ita should not be permitted to park their cars in it. Immediate steps .hould be taken 10 employ the ncc- cssary policemen 10 keep traffic moving In the park during the ,,amtc and take down the bars to the rcad entrances.

PRIzEFIGHTERs WHO SPAR FOR TIME

Enhdes or Luitus caesar Nano- leon Bonaparte, John l., Sullivan and Sunny Jim Corbatt! Two prizefghters--to wit; Jack Demp- sey and Harry Wills -- have signed contract to engage in rousta- bout contest, They have been play ing hide and seek for 8 long time, but at last they are to meet in the squared circle. But will the long standing feud be fought In any reasonable time? Certainly not. The fraeas Is billed to take place next September.
 These modern gladiators require nearly an entire year in which 10 prepare themselves for the terrible encounter.
 Old John l.. Sullivan, an oldster who took on all corners at short notice with or without gloves, in his entire ring career never signed such a contract. Probably he was afraid to do 1t, as he had poor memory and might forget his date. Gentleman Jim Corbett likewise needed no year of preparation; and as for Bob Fitzsimmons, the only bruiser in the history of the ring who won a heavyweight champion ship while being a middleweight fighter, was so fond of discourag- ing would-be champions that he was willing to scrap without con- tract If the occasion required 1t.
 But our modern prizefghters are too busy punching the punching bag In a gentleman's gymnasium, too busy fixing their noses so as to make good appearances in the films. and too busy paying fees to lawyers for one reason or another to be In receptive mood regard ing the noble art of defending title. They are not exactly prize fighters. but prize stallers.
 The great gadiatorial contest will take place at Michigan City, Ind, and 1t will be mo decision" bout in theory. Somebody may acci- dentally get knocked out, but that Is a contingency no law can antici- pate. The financial end of the pro- ccedings have been drawn up with great care, as beflts a modern ring battle. The financial arrangements. of course, form the most important part of the agreement. All of which is done in the name of sport.
 The gloved warriors, however, need not be greatly alarmed; per haps they will not need to go to the lengths of actually facing each other before the referee, as one Tex Rickard. dealer in fistic con- tracts, claims his rights have been infringed and the Indiana affair IS something in the nature of unfair competition; hence he threatens to go to law about it. The fight. there fore. may only be a legal one.

PROGRESS OF TAXES ON GASOLINE

Taxes on gasoline have become very popular with legislators as ar easy and convenient method of col lecting money with which to con struct and maintain highways. But four important states resolutely re- fuse to adopt this method of rais- ing money; and 1t is perhaps more than a coincidence that the politi- cal complexion in three of them is usually we'll balanced, The states are New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
 These states prefer to construct their highways by floating bonds; and all of them have been active in this respect. Refusal to intlict a gasoline tax upon motorists does not mean backwardness In the con- struction of good roads.
 There are those who claim the payment of a tax an gasoline IS the best method of financing road work ever devised. But it is 10 be doubted whether the tax brings i'll enough millions of dollars 10 build many new roads, n q this is its weak feature. Of course, in such states where the tax has been in- creased to four n five cents a gallon there might result q tidy in- come, but such states are few. The tendency in recent years, however, has been 10 increase the gasoline tax and the time may not be far distant when the demand for new roads will "neceSSitate" a heavier tax op gasoline. No state that has adopted the principle has as yet reduced t h tax, while numerous conmonwcalths have increased il, including Connecticut,
 With more motor vehicles in use every wear -- the increase the past eight months was 1S.9 per cent over the same period last year--it is logical to conclude that the in creased consumption of taxed gaso- line will likewise increase. The states having gasoline taxes there fore, can look forward to a steady increase in income. But 1t is doubt full if this increased income from gasoline taxes will equal f Il 0 in- creased demands for good roads made by the increased total of au- tomobiles. It appears 10 be similar 10 dog chasing it's tail, or cover ing territory ill circle, On" guess may be as good as another, and ours is that gasoline taxes secured by the states will not m Q Q t the costs of increased road bills. II may help, but more money is nccd- cd to build necessary highways than the gasoline tax can provide

PHILADELPHIA DIES
 FROM BULLET WOUND
Lillian F.. Emanuel, In Whose Home Felt Received Fatal Wound,
 Held Without Bail.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1. R)--Lillian E. Emanuel, in whose home Maurice F. Felt, real estate operator, was
 shot late Tuesday night, was held
 without bail today by Police Magis-
 trate Dorn to await the action of the coroner.
 Miss Emanuel was released yester- day in $2,500 bail on a charge of as- sault and battery by shooting and after Felt died the charged > was
 changed to suspicion of murder. She apparently disappeared, but her at-
 torncy, William A. Gray, assured the
 police she would be produced for &
 hearing today. He said she spent
 the night in sanitarium to quiet
 her nerves.
 The hearing was brief. Miss
 Emanuel stood with her head bowed
 and said nothing during the pro- ceeding. Her attorney answered for her the few formal questions asked by the magistrate and she nearly faintcd as the hearing came to an end.
 Miss Emanuel was dressed In black.

 What Is easier than to have music In offices and in factories when all that Is necessary to get It is to turn knob. Of course, radio Is less satisfactory in the daytime than at night, but such little idio- syncrasies of static may be over come In time.
 Efficiency experts have 0 us that musical entertainment and other kinds of entertainment --- while we work tends to increase the joy of working. In fact, human beings listening 10 the coneourse of sweet sounds while at work arc quite likely to overlook the onerous monotony of their tasks. Down in Tampa, Florida, we are told, 1t has been the custom for years for cigar manufacturers to provide readers for the cigar workers, the manu- facture of Cuban cigars b being a chief industry In that city. These readers read Spanish literature to the Cuban workers and this keeps the cobwebs from thoir minds as they employ their hands in more or less mechanical manner.
 Radio may make it possible to adopt the system of entertainment while we work on large scale. We do not know what h 6 world is coming to any more { h an other harassed observers; but we see this new idea coming into practice with seven league boots.

THE FAITHFUL HORSE ROLLING ITS OWN

The story from N " York re- garding the tenacity with which that noble friend of man, t Il c horse, stays on the job was illumi- hating, yet not a great surprise to those who have been watching the development of the autom obile truck. There are hundreds of thou sands of motor trucks in use, but an analysis shows that many of the firms owning fleets of trucks also own smaller fleets of horse-drawn vehicles. Horses are considered ideal for certain types of hauling and the fact that 10000 are still in service in New York and those interested in tho horse markets anticipate a "come- back indicate that the threatened requiem over the end of horses in the cities will never he sung,
 For short heavy hauling teams of horses still seem 10 earn their way, while milk and ice wagon routes still seem to offer opportuni- ties for the cQnines. They arc still to be seen in New Britain in these industries and no doubt will con- tinue to hold their own here and clSowhcre.
 But for g-distancc, speedy travcling, motor trucks have the icld and will continue to keep It..
