In Germany the popular American

In Germany the popular American
"easy-payment" plan is called "stut-
tering." The exact German word for
it is "stottern," which has given rise
to good usage and is now to be given
recognition in the dictionary as mean
ing both ito stutter" and to buy on
instalments. America prides itself
upon facility for coming words and
phrases. Is not slang synonym Of
the apt and happy speech which rolls
SO easily off the American tongue?
Well, it appears that nation has a
rival, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Here is Germany fashioning pecu-
liarly pert and spicy term. Money
talks, Americans say. The Germans
are still more expressive. They say
it shutters when paid out on the In
stalment plan.

What TO Dor

United States Naval academy .ofi1-
cials are wondering what the naval
world is coming to, says the MinneJ
apolis Tribune. A certain woman rep
resentative in the house has an
nounced that she is seriously consid-
ering naming young women as her
appointees to Annapolis. She observes
that women have entered many fields
additionally supposed to be closed to
the fair sex. But now that women are
successfully entering the factories and
the professions, she sees no reason
why they should be Disseminated
against in the navy. The midship-
men are said to be grinning over the
idea. They have no objections at all
to little feminine company. In fact,
the first maid who enters the academy
is said to be assured Of royal well
come. But the officials themselves are
confronted with the problem Of dis
tracing the congresswoman from turn
ing Annapolis into boys and girls
school. And this particular problem,
it appears, has never been dealt with
in any treatises written on naval
strategy. We have no special solu-
ton for them, but must confess to
some amusement over their distress.

WHAT 1T COST RUM VIOLATORS
LAST YEAR

Liquor traffic under prohibition
brought the government $4,200,052
in cash out of $7,476,300 in fines i'm
posed for violation of the laws gov
erning such traffic and SOP per-
sons went to Jail for dry law offenses
during the fiscal year ended January
80, 1929, the Department of Justice
at Washington reported Tuesday.
The Department called attention
to the fact that the figure represent
ing the number of persons who re-
ceived Jail sentences was 1889 over
the corresponding figure of the pre-
vious fiscal year.
"The number of criminal prohibi-
ton prosecutions during the year, .
the statement continues, twas S.
786. The number of cases terminal
ed was 56,455. In view of the fact
that 1889 cases were pending al
the close of the last fiscal year, the
net result for the past fiscal year
was an increase in the number OF
cases pending to 1850. There
were 1915 trials by jury and 3,183
pleas of guilty.
There was "a substantial increase
in the number of paddock or injunc-
tion proceedings. There were 7455
petitions for injunctions, an increase
of 1949 over the preceding year, and
the number of permanent injunc-
tions increased to 6303, compared
with $500 the year before, a gain of
about 81 per cent.
"The number of civil cases termi
mated during the year was 10,961,
compared with S617 in the previous
year. Notwithstanding this in
crease in the number of civil cases
terminated, there was an increase of
ZIG in the number of cases pending.
The aggregate amount of judgments

sta was $465,480 as against

total of $27,478 was collected by
United States attorneys in cases
where no civil suit was actually

I THEBELL RINGER

1t may seem a little early to think
of the Christmas season during these
pleasant days of Indian summer and
in the midst of the late fall football
season. Yet the Christmas season and
all it stands for has been brought WV
idly to the minds of many workers
interested in the fight against tuber-
culpsis in Maryland by the arrival OF
thirty million Christmas Seals at the
state office of the Maryland Tuber-
cul)osis Association in Baltimore. Each
seal portrays bell ringer.
In the olden days anyone could be
bell ringer. Sometimes citizen had
to pay for the privilege; if he abused
the honor he had to pay fine. In
ALI Saints Church, at Hastings, Eng
land, these words may still be seen:
"This is belfry that is free
For all those that civil be,
And if you please to chime or ring
It is a very pleasant thing"
EAll through history since the 18th
century, which was the golden age OF
bells, chimes have called out to people
their cheerful messages, usually telling
STORY.
Tits equally fitting that on the gay
| little Christmas seal for 1929 bell
ringer should be portrayed Juggling at
a heavy bell, announcing once again to
| THE nation that further victorious
advances have been made against the
| ehemy tuberculosis. Each year the
| se brings its message of health at the
| C stmas season to remind people
| THAT sickness can be prevented.
