 Nothing is more humiliating than having people who are not as good as you are able to put it all over YOU because they have so much more money.
 The worst henpecked man is one who closes the door quietly as he goes out after losing the argument with her.
 It is easy to tell by merely look ing at a woman whether rainy Monday means her weeks schedule is knocked into a cooked hat, or whether wash day to her is simply a day the laundryman calls to pick up the bundle the servant has got ready.
 The trouble with sensible wife is that her husband always is get ting peeved at her because she's always cramped his style by saving him from making a fool of himself.
 The barber must get many a chuckle as he rings up four or five dollars on the cash register thinking of the popular notion that women are the vain sex.
 If woman sees another woman with hat exactly like hers she will take it back and exchange it, but if a man doesn't see a lot of other men wearing one like his he'll con- sign it to the shelf and go out and buy another one that will be exact ly like those the other men are wearing.
 The only thing a woman tackles that is harder than trying to make her husband as good as she wants him to be is trying to make her face as pretty as she wants it to be.

 We find it increasingly difficult to keep our feet on the ground Transatlantic flights, dirgibles en- durance tests and plain commercial flying have car ried minds as we'll as bodies into the air Some of cautious citizens have limited their enthus- iasm to supplying capital to the infant industry
 This interest in aviation has perhaps partly ob- scured an important development underground The growth of vehcular tunnels, with the success in particular of the Holland Tunnel, marks an inn portant step in traffic accommodation
 At midnight November 12 1928, the Holland Tunnel had completed it's first year of relief from ferry boat congestion In addition to any such civic contribution, the tubes earned a total revenue Of S4 7002O1 Operating cost $150,000, and other charges brought the profit to $3500000.-a rather neat return on initial operations net return of $5 100000 is expected for the current year.
 The tunnel has proved definitely it's value to commercial trucking which travels at higher rate than the passenger car The price sched ue lies between 25 cents for motorcycles and $2 for the heaviest truck. In the opening month of tunnel service, November, 1927 the average toll per ve hicle 5273 cents. By October 1928, this rate had increased to 5497 cents, and in February of this year it passed 55 cents
 Increasing traffic volume provides another basis for the higher estimate for 1929. Opening day cur osity established record travel through the tubes of 649 vehicles The abnormal traffic of that day foretold the popularity of the tunnel. The 35-mle speed for passenger cars the excellent light ing and better air, and the constant supervision of officers stationed at regular intervals have stamp ed the project more than of passing fancy Motor traffic. consequently has shown regular progress to new record volume of 52184 automobiles on a recent Sunday.
