hit upon method to effectual- reduce the traffic in drugs, not withstanding the fact that the government has spent millions of dollars in restriction. How futile are the efforts at sup pression is clearly shown in the government inability to prevent use of opium in the federal prisons, where it is ad- mitted fully one-fourth of the prisoners are able to get all the opium they want. It is also probable that the same situa- tion exists in most of the state, prisons.

False Ideas Stick

After an erroneous statement has been made often enough it Is next to impossible to eradi- cate it from the popular mind.
 For many years the question was asked why the addition of a fish to a pail of water would not add to the weight of the bucket and its contents. Sev- eral ingenious explanations were offered, but the real reas- on could not be agreed upon. Finally some inquisitive skeptic weighed a bucket of water and after adding a 5-pound fish weighed it again. It weighed just five pounds more than it did before adding the fish. The question, therefore, was shown to be based upon a false assumption.
 A similar situation is pointed out by the Christian Science Monitor in answer to the quest ion of why the younger gene ration is so much inclined to crime. Thirteen cities report ing to the United States Child ren's Bureau showed that ill nine of them juvenile delin- quency decreased, while an in- crease was noted in only four.
 Likewise it is popularly SUD- posed that crime in Chicago is more prevalent than ever be- fore. Yet actual statistics show that crime since 1915 in that city has not increased in proportion to the increase in population.
 So, as Josh Billings once said, tits just as well not to know so much, as to know so blamed, much that ain't so."

The Evil of Narcotics


 It used to be said that prohi- bition would drive all the old soaks to the use of opium and other drugs, but statistics show that while there has been an increase in the number of hab- itues a large percentage of them are young boys and girls, a majority under twenty, who could not have been long ad- dicted to the whiskey habit ii at all. The cause lies else where, and it seems that we have not found it. Nor have we

jackson Earned Place
Among Americas Great

In all American history, says
a writer in Thrift Magazine, there
never lived a more interesting char
acter than Andrew Jackson. He
possessed a fierce temper and loved
a fight. But he took up his cudgels
always in defense of what seemed
to him just cause. He fought
the battles of the weak and the
poor and was relentless in opposing
those who sought to take unfair
advantage of others.
Notwithstanding his tumultuous
life, Jackson early became imbued
with the principles Of thrift. Be
ginning life in poverty, he began
saving money as soon as he had an
income. In the rugged districts
where his young manhood was
spent, money was a scarce object
and incomes were exceedingly
small, but Jackson, realizing ever
the great value of thrift. managed
to save modest sums. He proved
to be successful in business and by
the time he had reached middle
age had acquired what was con-
sidered in his day a very comfort
able fortune.

Primitive Ideas Still
Prevail IN Mourning

Most of our funeral customs 90
back to primitive times when it
was believed there was danger to
all except priests who had to do
with a corpse, and death witchery
was accepted without question.
Some primitive peoples destroyed
everything associated with a fu-
neral, even going so far as to tear
down the house in which the death
occurred. Some of these customs
have survived as marks of respect
for the departed, as has the prac-
tice of removing all ornaments and
ceasing all activities marking the
ordinary pursuits of life. In some
churches affairs are stripped on
Good Friday in observance of the
anniversary Of the crucifixiOn of
Christ. There is a tradition in
some communities that the clock
stops when there is a death in the
household. Mirrors are usually
associated with vanity and other
light attributes regarded as not in
keeping with the mourning spirit
in the presence Of death, hence
they are covered to contribute to
the gloom and hush of mourning.

Disease Germs Cannot
Live in Mothers Milk

Scientists have known for some
time that babies fed on mothers
milk were protected in some mys-
terious fashion from various dis
eases such as whooping cough,
measles, diphtheria and the like.
Now 1t appears that the mothers
milk actually has the power of
killing disease germs. DR.. Fried
rich Schlaeppi, bacteriologist at
Berne, Switzerland, has expert
mented with milk from nursing
mothers and found that the milk
has this bactericidal power to a
very high degree. If the milk Is
Kept at mean temperature this
power may be demonstrated for
sixty hours or more. Such bac-
terra as get into 1t are at least
very much retarded In their de-
velopment If not actually killed.
The milk is even able to destroy
bacteria which do not normally oc-
cur In 1t. Boiled milk has not
this power. Doctor Schlaeppi has
succeeded in filtering milk, obtain
ing clear greenish liquid which
contained albumin but no fat. The
germs naturally contained In the
milk stayed back with the fat, but
the power to kill bacteria remained
In the clear filtrate. This WIS
proved by adding germs to the fl
trate, which destroyed them.

Romance of Brownings
Throve on Mere Words

By modern standards, says David
10th in "The Brownings," Robert
Browning and Elizabeth Barrett
starved their love cruelty. A hand
clasp was beyond all Roberts dar-
ing. A kiss was something men,
toned in poetry but never attempt
ed in real life. However. they de-
rived a certain pleasure from the
realization that their love could
thrive on a diet of mere words.
And of words they were prodigal
indeed. Over the exchange of a
lock of hair they lavished enough
of ingenuity and lyrical expression
to have made a trunkful of the
kind of plays Robert wrote.
His letter suggesting that she
trust him with a wisp Of black curl
was masterpiece of dignified
pleading worthy of a request for a
couple of dukedoms and a princi-
pality. He felt greatly daring. and
well he might. An admirer of Ba's
poetry had only three weeks before
made similar though not so ele-
gantly phrased plea.
Il am too great a prude for such
a thing" she answered.

World Flood

The ancient tradition common
among all primitive peoples of a
worldwide flood is now thought by
scientists to have been sound. The
cause of the oceans rise may have
been the melting of the ice-cap at
the North pole at the end of the
last ice age. which occurred about
10000 years ago. According to Sir
Edgeworth David, famous Austral-
ian geologist. the level of the en-
tire ocean would be raised 30 feet
if the whole antarctic barrier melt
ed. Practically every seaport
town would then be under water.

Noise May Grow

A great deal of the noise which
assails our ears in busy city, for
instance. is not only due to the
constantly increasing use of ma
chinery but because the type of
building construction now used
tends to prOlong and transmit
noises. A bare plastered wall, for
example, reflects noises better than
a mirror reflects light. If you clap
your hands together in a bare plas-
tered room, more than % per cent
Of the noise Will be reflected from
the wall. The sound of the hand
clap will. therefore, persist for sew
eral seconds. This phenomenon of
reverberatiOn causes noises to be
built up and retained "alive" in
a room in such way that their in
tensity is actually increased.

tnat both were minors. Later, the

when the case came up, the at
torney for the defense asked that
the action be dismissed on the
ground that no harm had been
uohe, that If any offense had been
committed both parties were
equally at fault and that when all

Probable Age Of Earth

The Navy observatory says that
It is believed that the solar sys-
tenn has existed in approximately
its present form for many millions
of years; but from our present
knowledge on this subject we can
not state what may have been its
condition at any definite period
in the remote past. such as 500,000,-
900 years ago. A recent estimate,
found in astronomy" by Russell,
Dugan and Stewart. gives the
earth's age as possibly some four
or five billion years, but this is
subject TO future revision if other
factors in the problem become
known. 1t is supposed that the
day was formerly somewhat short
er, and the moon somewhat near
er the earth than at present.

Restless Ewes

According to Russian scientist,
there is a certain rhythm to the
movement of the human eye as well
as to those of the heart. 1t roves
back and forth at the rate of about
100 movements a minute.
Under normal conditions-thati is,
In quiet, familiar surroundings
the eyes remain at rest for few
seconds. But soon they resume
their usual movements, sometimes
from one side to another, some
times up and down. 1t is be-
lieved by evolutionists that this
characteristic restlessness of the
eye is thrOwback to primitive
times when mans ancestors had to
be constantly on the watch for dan

Long Bow Deadly Weapon

The long bow, famous in the ro-
mantle history of knights and tour
naments, was first used in Wales.
1t was merely a piece of sinewy yew
and a stout cord, but it was one
of the most deadly weapons Of an
cient times, for an arrow shot from
the long bow could pierce heavy
oaken door and the mail-clad
knights were powerless before its
terrific speed and force. Due TO the
long bow the Welsh gained many
victories over their enemies. while
their principal means of defense
were the stout walls of their
castles, according to Owen Ed
wards, who has written one of the
few books dealing with the Welsh
people.-Detroit News.

Salt in History

Savage races have lived without
salt, but history shows that wher-
ever it has been obtainable even
at the cost of much time and
money, men have struggled to OBJ
tain it. This is probably more be-
cause of the zest it gives to foods,
than because of its own value as
a food. The elements found in
salt are usually present in siifii-
cient quantities in the diet.
However, the addition of more or
less large quantities of salt seems
to do no harm to the average per-
son; excessive consumption may af-
feet the assimilation of the food.

American "Penny Press"

The History of American Jour-
nalism states that the precursor
of the penny press was the Daily
Evening Transcript, established In
Boston July "a, 1880, by Lynde NJ.
Walter. While this paper was not
sold on the streets for one penny,
it was quoted at the extremely low
rate of $4 per annum. Probably
the first daily that was actually
sold for one cent was the Cent Of
philadelphia, published In the same
year as the Daily Evening Tran
script i'm Boston. In New York
city the idea was first conceived by
DIR. Horatio David Shepard.
