System Fell Down

johnson prides himself on having q
system" for betting on the races
that can't be beat. He frequently
makes queer bets and sometimes that
god Of chance that favors those who
rush In where angels are conspicuous
by their absence smiles upon him. But
the other day he tried one and failed.
There was a four-horse race and
johnson conceived the brilliant idea
Of betting on each of the four horSes
to win. Perhaps he didn't stop to
think that it would take a 4 to L
shot winner for him to break even.
In any event, at the last moment there
was an added starter-and the added
starter won.

Giant Bones in Mexico

One Of the most interesting of re-
cent discoveries In Mexico is that re-
ported by prospecting miners operating
a new gold and silver mining district
in the state of Chihuahua. According
to one of thee engineers, who has
reached Mexico City from the Sierra
Madre range Of mountains where the
operations are being carried on, there
have been discovered several human
skeletons measuring from ten to
twelve feet in length. They were all
found in one cave, being quite intact.
The average length Of the feet was
from 10 to 20 inches. The ~anthropo-
logical department of the Mexican gov
eminent is planning to send a commits
sion to investigate the discoveries. The
Investigation is expected to clear up
the origin Of the wonderful Indians Of
the state of Chihuahua. The skeletons
were all found in a sitting posture.

Fear Was a Friend

A few weeks before his death Lord
L~everhuIme, In his presidential adj
dress to the Institute Of Certified
Grocers at Scarborough, said that he
felt sure that the greatest help to any
Of them was fear, and that fear had
been his best friend. His first recol-
lection was fear. He had fear Of con-
tinulng a clerk at his fathers bush
ness, and that fear persuaded his fa-
Their to put him on the road as a COM
mercIal traveller at the age Of nine
teen. He married at the age OF twenty
two, and then fear came as to whether
the profits would keep a wife.
Later fear drove him into soap. His
soap, widely advertised, was ioated as
a company In 1894. In the words Of
one of his mer obituaries "The
years that followed marked the growth
Of a business ideal that was almost-epic
in its triumphs and ramiications." -
Spectator, London.

The name "Huguenots" was given
to French followers Of Calvin. Prot
estant leader Of the Reformation.
They suffered massacre at vassy by
the party Of Guise in 1862. This act
led to the civil wars, which continued
until the Edict'o OF Nantes in 1893, when
civil and religious liberty was con-
lrmed to them. The massacre Of st.
Bartholomew occurred August "A,
1872, during a truce in the wars. The
power the Huguenots gained as a po-
litical party following the edict was Of
short duration, being destroyed in a
few years by Louis XIII and his min
lister, Richelieu. Louis XIV, in. 1885.
revoked the Edict Of Nantes, and as a
result half a million Huguenots fed
to England, Germany, the Netherlands,
Switzerland and America.-Kansas

RuyGl England In 1925
Had Little OUer China

The Chinese minister Of communities
Eaons sent from Picking a long cable
gram Of poetic prose felicitating the
managers Of the Darlington railway
exhibition in England on their centen-
NAL Of George ~Stephenson's 'Locomo-
ton No. z"
Unless the railway track was laid
ver the graves Of ancestors in an in
land province, the spectacle Of the
putting monster, once regarded as first
cousin to the earth-dragon, would ex-
cite far less confusion in the celestial
republic today than it did among the
honest English yokels Of Stephenson's
era.
Then, according to contemporary re-
port, Sin many bosoms the arrival
caused the greatest CONSERVATION.
They fled In abject terror, many hid
ing themselves in the church, others
seeking consolation in the bottle, while
some Of the more courageous climbed
into trees and at a safe distance from
the monsters claws watched It pass"
Reading that account one is inclined
to believe that Europe In 1926 was not
many leagues In advance Of the cycle
of Cathay, remarks the Philadelphia
Ledger.

British Patents in 1924

Applications for patents In Great
Britain totaled more than 10000 last
year, according t the New York
World, and although the number is
1000 less than was received In 1928,
there was an increase during the later
months. Radio developments were the
most numerou subjects Of the patents,
more than 500 being granted, an in-
crease of 200 over the year before.
Many applications from inventors In
this field were not pressed, the orig
inators apparently realizing that their
ideas were In many commercially
useless or had become out OF date
while the matter was pending because
Of the rapid progress in this science.
Many patents. were for household Inn
provements and the inventions were
made by women.

Old English Dog L0w
Had Sound Reasoning

There was a great fear Of dogs
among the people Of England when
Edward I was reigning, In which time
was established a most extraordinary
law affecting dogs, according to a
writer In the Ohio State Journal.
Only those people living a consid-
cradle distance from the large forests
in that country were permitted to own
and keep dogs, particularly large dogs.
the lawmakers, with great wisdom,
reasoning that a large dog near the
forest, where there was much Wild
game. would Join with other large dogs
and follow the call Of the wild.
A great pack of wild dogs would be
developed, game would be destroyed
and grave danger developed for hui
man life. So the law provided a dog
gauge, an opening Of prescribed size,
and only such dogs as could squeeze
their way through the legal measur-
Ing gauge were permitted to be kept
at a home within 10 miles Of the
forests. And the law has been
repealed, but it has not been used
for generations.

FIRST LOVE F
is TURNING POINT
Struggle of the AdoIesces1t
Mind q Severe One.

Calflove Is the easiest thing in the
world to laugh at.
That 1t is less easy to endure was
revealed by a boy criminal In a strange
letter to the magistrates who tried
hiE. In that document he described
the stages Of his downfall from the
moment when he realized that his first
love could not be S-eciprocated-
Happily, most boys and girls recover
from the shock Of their first love af-
fair without running themselves in
the process. Yet no one who has
studied the adolescent mind can doubt
for a m that, as a rule, the
struggle Is a severe one.
The first love affair is far more seri-
Gus, far more anxious, than people
who have grown up are ready to ad-
NIT.
Nor are its dangers made less, or Its
burdens ~Iightened by the attitude COM
monty adopted toward the victim by
those who should be his friends. Al
most invariably they laugh and deride
when a word Of sympathy is most
eagerly desired and most urgently
needed.
The wretched boy or girl is shamed
into silence about an event of the
emotional life which, after all, is per-
fectly natural, and must, in any case,
exercise a profound influence on his or
her whole attitude to life.
Thousands of marriages are ulti-
mately spoiled by cynicism which
brands first love as a joke Dr. dilates
on its grotesQue and silly character.
The wild freshness of the dawn is but
seldom recovered once 1t has been lost.
This does not mean, Of course, that
boys and girls r to be encouraged in
sentimentalism.
But their feelings, however exag-
gerated, must be accepted as genuine
for the moment and honored as such.
They must be taken, IL not seriously,
at least respectfully.
If they feel that their strange emo
tional experience is being understood
and regarded sympathetically their
WI common sense becomes the ally Of
e~motionalism and the enemy Of their
critics.
Thus, instead of being laughed out
Of their folly, they are very effectual-
ly laughed into it. Their best weapon
of defense is struck, as 1t were, from
their hands.
1t is a good sign of the present gen.
GRAFTON that 1t is beginning to take
emotions seriously and to grant them
their rightful place in the business Of
life.
This attitude has certainly made life
happier and easier for many people.
There is no reason In the world why
1t should not be extended to those
earnest but inexperienced mariners,
u growing lads and lasses.
Either this powerful force can be
used to ennoble and glorify life or it
can be turned aside by cheap laughter
into channels Of shame and misery

Long journey for Nothing

This Is the story of IN absent-mind-
ed professor. But among stories about
absent-minded professors 1t must hold
high place. The professor is J. q.
Alderman. He teaches at the Univer-
sity of Sidney, in Australia. Recently
he arrived in London as n of the
delegates to the congress Of the en-
pire universities. Then Professor Ad-
erman discovered an error. At first he
was slightly puzzled, then alarmed and
then probably as ~humorously embar-
raised as it is good for a man ever to
be humorously embarrassed. He found
that he had miscalculated by a year
the opening Of the universities con
gress and that 1t will not open till
June, 1926. Professor Alderman trav-
eled $4,000 miles before he discovered
his error.

In a shop In Regent street, London
is being shown a remarkable coIlec-
ton Of pearls gathered from fisheries
all over the world. There are white
Austrian pearls with their silver sheen
very beautiful, but cold in color, that
can be worn triumphantly by the pale
blonde. The warm magnolia-tinted
pearls from Ceylon, or the golden and
brown pearls found in the depths OF
the Red sea are ideal for darker wom-

only In the Gulf Of Mexico by pearl
fishers searching for black mother Of

FIlpinos COnflnue to
Believe in TaIisn0Tls

A young Filipino descended from a
"~gatmaytan" or ancient feudal prince
known as Maiki is seeking the en-
chanted kerchief which gave his illus
trious ancestor supernatural powers,
such as that Of charming birds so that
they would alight upon his extended
finger, or philandering with other
mems wives without arousing jealousy
on the part Of the offended husbands.
The kerchief Is known in the family
traditions as ''the kerchief from the
angel in moon" With other talismans
and amulets, 1t is supposed to have
been secretly buried by the chieftain
before he died. Each succeeding eldest
son has searched for the spot in vain.
American schools endeavor to disabuse
the native mind Of its belief In tails
mans, but the belief Is still wide
spread; o mysticism almost abysmal
in depth affects the psychology Of the
people.
It was only recently necessary for
the police In a town adjoining Manila
to take into custody an adolescent boy
to whom thousands of fhe afflicted
we're going because 1t was said his
possession Of an enchantment be-
slowed upon him healing powers.
Not far from this town a gang Of
counterfeiters were recently raided by
a constabulary squad. To conceal evil
dence the men threw their dies into a
stream back Of their shanty. Washer
women later found one Of the dies,
and when they cleaned it they discov-
cred the image Of Maria Cristina,
queen regent OF Spain prior to King
AIfonso's coming of age. The old wom-
an conceived this image to be that of
the Virgin, and soon a story was
abroad that the die (of the true nature
Of which no one had the least concep-
ton, not even the local of1clals) had
been miraculously hidden In the
stream bed and that a great blessing
would ensue from Its discovery. From
surrounding towns people by thou
sands began making pilgrimages to the
fortunate village, to adore the image
and receive itg blessing.

FLAPPERS ARE L
AS C HISTORY
Haze Been Common in EU-
cry Race and Class.

There is nothing new under the
moon. The fapper of today is one
with Tyre and Nineveh. Away in the
incredible years when the first
foundation slab OF the Sphynx was
laid, the Egyptian tlapper was inter
fering with the process of its future
by furtive glances cast on impression
able members of the board Of works
of the pharaohs.
Cleopatra was a flapper. Shake
speare talks of her hopping 40 PAGES
down the public street." No one but
a flapper could have adopted such a
method of progression. Her freak Of
putting a valuable pearl in acid was
sheer flapperishness.
Helen of Troy was a girl of many
destructive impulses. She would have
run at any cost. Hence the wooden
horse and the fall of Troy.
AT a little later period the skittish
Venus was In the same capricious form
when she prevailed upon the "Pious
Aeneas" to break his journey with her.
Horace in his songs lnvokes the
name Of Lalage and other maidens.
It Is safe to assume that two-thirds
Of them were little canaries who coyly
responded to the lyrical advances of
the Latin nightingale.
In the heroic days the Grecian flap
pers took much more exercise than
their Roman sisters. They were the
forerunners of the modern sports girl.
Here it may be well to indicate that
fiappers are not confined to any n
class Of communities, ancient or mod
ern. They are just as frequent among
the plebs as among the patricians.
There is not the faintest doubt that
Inflated Marie Antolnette, In her
early years at the French court, was
an enchanting f1apper.
Another most unhappy woman,
Mary Queen of Scots, was so full Of
espiegleric and fascination that John
Knox, In Puritan Scotland, found her
an easy victim to stern-browed perse-
cution.
Louise de la VALERIE vas not the
obvious type. but she was a type of
flapper none the less. She was quite
a little bird who attracted the long
devotion of a fastidious king in a few
flights. Her friend. Mile. de TOnnay-
Charente, afterwards Nine. de Mont
spon, was a bird of brighter methods,
but both were of the order seduisantel
that captures kings and clerks alike.
More hoydenish and daring THAI
either Of them was the gallant sister
Of Charles II, later Duchess dor
leans. Charles sister was as gay and
larky as the most up-to-date New
York fun seeker. She loved to dress
in the apparel of men, as girls Of to-
day adore appearing in mock-mascu-
line garb at fancy dress dances.
Nell Gwyn was the very pink Of
fappers. Her smiles were as restora-
tive as her oranges; and her kisses
would have bucked up q regiment
Nell remained a fiapper until the end.
She never lost the arts Of her grin
ming, impudent girlhood. Charles
was a mighty good judge Of the fair
sex; and IL is significant that he
gave his best devotion to the queen
and pride Of 1appers.-Book Notes.
