Well, Now. That's Strange!

That bushy head Of hair you the first viO-
lnis in the orchestra is there because he plays the
violin. Likewise that trombone player is bald be-
cause he plays the trombone
That sort Of reasoning sounds absurd, doesn't il ?
Well, check up it and see. Rabbi Jacob Klein of
Cleveland did and conjurcd up a reason.
It's all simple and logical, he says. The violinst
is getting the benefit of the vibrations Of his string
instrument. All players Of similar Instruments, in.
Guiding the piano, get similar head massage that
keeps the hair healthy and prolific.
On tho other hand, the trombone player and the
rest who play wind instruments literally blow their
hair off

Cherry planted her tense, angry
little body so close to Faith that she
could feel the younger girls hot

sncaking blackmailer! Look at those
letters! Look at the one addressed

stenographer who wrote both--7and
believe me. they were typed by the
same person-has her tabulat0r set

exactly the same white space from

ginning Of the address, top and side.

Names That Are Costly

Not many people have ever heard Of Button
Gwnnet.
But. known unknown. the signature of this fell
low is the second most expensive autograph in
the world.
The only name bringing more fabulou,
sum is that of William Shakespeare Only six
authentic signatures of Shakespeare have ever been
found. Many of his autographs were destroyed in
the great London fire.
Button Gwinnet signed the Declaration of Inde-
pcndencc. 1t must have been about the only time
he wrote his name fer no other signature ever
has been found. The market value of a Gwinnet au.
t,graph is about $4,000. Shakespeare's is worth
about 100000.
On the other hand Washington Napoleon.

about $780, because they signed their names

The Smith Victory

Governor Smiths huge majority, which at this
writing looks to be about 100000 makes him at once
the dominating personality in the public life Of this
state and national figure. To have wen such en-
phatic approval from the people of New York on
such issues is proof both CT his political sagacty
and his wonderful popular appeal. There is no
point in referring to historical precedents back to
the time Of Governor Clinton. ZAP Smith has
broken them all. 1t is evident that he shrewdly

which he had to deal, and net deceived when he

which 1t saw promise of victory at the polls.
Judging by the result there must have been many
thousands of independent and Republican voters in
this state who also regarded Governor Smith as in
dispcnsable. He had set his hand to great work

Ears Of golden, red and white,

Just as IL alive, I think.

How they back and forward swing,

Rock up in the tree-tops, high,
While the little clouds 70 BY,

From the morn till close Of day.
When the corn is in the shock.
Then the ears forget to rock,

Bundled up like sticks, and then,

And, a king is over there.
