Colonel G. o. Sheriff., city manager Of Cincinnati,
resigned Tuesday to become vice president Of q large
grocery chain, which, no doubt offers better pay and less
grief than his former employment.
Advocates of the city manager plan will pluck some
encouragement from that incident. because 1t shows that
city managerships sometimes. at least, attract talents
Of an order high enough to command . good premium
in private employment.
And it Is true that you don't often hear Of . mayor
or an alderman being hired In private employment by
wise business leaders.
But 1t is also true. no doubt. that no very large pro-
portion Of city managers are being pursued by big bust
ness with large salary offers.

about two and . half ounces Of
perfume before putting that amount
OF wood alcohol into tho bottle.
ssN OW. It is not at all likely that
~ the surplus perfume was
poured down the drain pipe of Mrs.
Berkeley's bathroom basin. for the
very good reason that Mrs. Berke-
ley would have been almost sure
to smell It when she came up to
bed. Therefore it seems logical to
suppose that the surplus perfume
was poured into another bottle
and what more logical than q per.
fume bottle to hold perfume?.

days elapsiny before tho victim

had another new bottle Of perfume

to have ample leisure in which to

problem which confronted the pol

say he for the sake Of convenience
was caught in the act by Doris
Matthews. We know there was q
struggle, that Diris was pushed 80

Where Is Our Isolation?

Business conditions weekly, issued by, the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, point out that Great Britain,s un-
employment situation seems to be getting worse instead
Of better, and that signs Of an improvement are not as
vet very clear.
That, Of course, is already known. But the publication
points out that it is more Of our concern in the United
States than we ordinarily think.
Great Britain" it remarks. "is exceeded only by Can
ada as . market for exports from the United States. Last
year Great Britain bought goods from the United States
amounting to nearly $s5o.0oo.ooo or Is per cent Of the
United States total exports. A business revival in the
United States, depends to a certain extent upon improve
ment in Great Britain. This helps to explain the UNI
reasonableness OF expecting a quick recovery in business
as a result OF efforts by the United States to solve, do
nestiselly, a problem international in scope"
What, In view of such a fact, becomes Of our splendid
isolation" that some politicians seem to prize 50 highly?

LIFE LARGE AND SMALL

Some interesting reflections the size of living beings made by the noted scientist, Julian 5 HuX ley in recent article Many of the facts which he re- lates are not only interesting, but surprising.
 When we speak of living things in broad sense we must include the vegetable kingdom the largest living things to be found among the trees of Cali olmia These incidentally, are also the oldest with age of around 5000 years
 These trees, some weighing nearly 1000 tons are massive indeed when compared to the largest animal the whale whose weight seldom reaches more than 100 tons Yet large elephant could maneuver comfortably inside whales skin.
 Most wonderful of all is what is found in the small Ter orders of life We can see fea though with diff fcuf to catch him, yet SO000 would scarcely weigh sln ounce.
 Some of the insects which hardly visible to the naked eye are fitted out with compound eyes, nice nervous svstem three pairs of jaws and three pairs of legs veined wings and striped muscles. Tiny birds weighing only 10 grams, about as much as 10 large ants fly thousands of miles in their mgrations And ants, by the way are the strongest living beings in proportion to their size.
 Man is about halfway in the scale between large and small mammals, and when grown he contains about hundred million cells. He requires all his brain we'll his strength to cope with the great animals side and the insects the other And then there mi crobes to worry about.
