Little Call for Work
of SfroIlinQ Tinker

The "nve-andten" put the finishing
touches to the occupation Of the
strOlling tinker or tlnsmlth Nobody
nowadays would bother to patch up
teakettle or put new leg on black
castiron pot. Soldering Is unknown in
the homes Of the poor and lowly, and
the leaking teapot no longer awaits
the tinker--it hikes to the dump
When the cover Of the coffee pot
breaks away from the hinges now, II
Is allowed to remain away, and when
the wash boiler gives out, the eldest
son may use It for bass drum. or fill
irwith loan and plant geranlums In
It. No longer Is the broken handle OF
the earthen teapot restored to its for
mer place Of usefulness by the appll-
cation OF the gray cement, nor Is the
broken grlddle held together by sheet
iron straps sklllfully rlveted in.
Thus has human society lost one of
its most picturesque and romantic
characters, the strolling tinker Thus
has the moral atmosphere been robbed
Of It's choicest perfume and the tone
Of human society been lowered. No
poems have been written, no eulogles
delivered, and no monument raised to
the tinker, but he is enshrIned In the
hearts Of men and women whose par
ents In the days gone by used to
threaten them with the tinker when
they were unruly.-Fall River Globe.

Few and evil have been the days OF

But experimentally the idea goes back

than 1900 years ago, aud there are
occasional mentions of the idea
through history.
In the Sixteenth century we come
to the bishop of Upsalas claim to
have Invented boat for scuttling
ships from below, and in 1926 Charles
I gave a Dutch inventor an order for
"bOates to go under water" though
they do not seem to have been used
against the French. There were the
rudimentary and unsuccessful turtles
Of Bushnell in the Eighteenth century.
But an i'll fate pursued the early in
ventors.
Fulton's submarine was rejected by
France, England and America in turn,
and he set himself to the more usual
work of designing boat engines John

Dog Trainers Differ
in Nichols Of Work

Most dog trainers deny the truth of
the saying that you can't teach old
dogs new tricks. The facts appear to
be that dog more than two years
old Is more easily taught than the av-
erage puppy because he is more capa-
Bile of understanding what you wish
him to do.
Many an intelligent dog is spoiled
by too inslstcnt efforts to correct
minor faults in the early stages of
his training His spirit is broken be-
fore he has an opportunity TO learn
things worth while Many dog train.
ers, In handling hunting dogs, or even
watch-dogs, insist that they should not
be taught little tricks, such as sitting
up and begging for food, or jumping
through ones hands. The objection
is that the trick dog comes to look
for signals from his master and IL
less likely to net on his own Initiative
On the other hand, many trainers take
an opposite view and think that learn.

Weight of the Air

is an atmosphere welgher, and on the
varying weight, noted over large areas,
depend our daily weather forecasts
change of an inch In the height of
the mercury column means a change
of atmospheric weight Of half n pound
per square inch on the earth's surface,

Time and Old Age

The erroneous, pcrnlclous, but wide.
spread conviction That time makes
US old, and that age Is automatically
fixed by the number Of years behind
us, constitutes deadly assault upon
the human family. Time does not
make us old. Time has nothing to do
with age. Time Is an hour glass-a
measuring device--nOt a force. Time
can influence disease or health no
more than yardsilck can influence
the speed Of a horse race. Age Is the
result Of changes brought about In our
own tissues through all our own habits
Of life. within the limits Of variation
we can hasten those changes or check
them as we will. From "The Science

How much business value does a
retail merchant get from the park

does he lose. on the other hand. from
the impeding of pedestrian traffic

These were some of the questions
which came before the property man

The retailer should have no OBJ

reason that the cluttering of space

automobiles actually lowers the rental
