How Term ''Thirty" Came
to Symbolic an Ending

Charles Payne Smith gave the fol.
lowing information in the Topographic
cal Journal regarding the origin Of
"3O' as used by newspaper men and
telegraphers: 1.-THE first press associ-
alton organized in Civil war times was
composed largely Of morning papers
published near the eastern seaboard.
Each paper sent into the central Office
items of local interest, which were
there edited and telegraphed to all
members. It happened that the first
message sent to the association totaled
30 words and this figure, with the
words Good night and the signature
of the sender, was placed at the bot
tom of the sheet by the operator. At
that time piecework was the rule Oh
all papers. The daily grist was usu-
ally set up, corrected and in the forms
by 10 o'clock, but the conp0sitors
were compelled to wait around at their
own expense until the foreman an
nounced that 800 was in. So '30' be-
came byword among printers, sym.

Kipling's Sound Advice

There was time when Rudyard
Kipling's poems about world events
were, as Mr.. Dooley remarked, shot
off the bat" He managed to get into
the fighting in most Of the contro-
versies that were disturbing individ-
uals and peoples. Nowadays, Mr.. Kip.
ling is very successful in keeping out
of public notice, but In his rare APP
pearances he usually says something
that is worth thinking about. He has
just made speech to some school,
boys at the dedication Of new school
In England, in the course Of which he
remarked that "most injustice is not
inflicted deliberately, but because peo-
pie do not take the trouble to think
things out" That is a good sentence
for radicals and reactionaires to pom
der over, says the Boston Post. They
talk a good deal about "conspiracies"
and "plots." but these, as Kipling says,
are not SO important in perpetuating
injustices as the failure of people to
think. We could rid ourselves Of a
good many abuses If we would think
more and talk less.

The simple life, it seems, is not all
1t has been cracked up to be. Instead
of ensuring a peaceful old age, there
is a sinister something in simplicity
that worms its way into the system
until eventually the average simple
lifer starts wearing straw in his hair.
Nobody has explained exactly why
this should be. Perhaps it is that the
simple life engenders a simple mental
ity. On the other hand. it may be
that the simple life is not always as
simple as we are led to believe, says
the johannesburg Sunday Times.
Again, there may be some truth in

Tree bordered roads of France are
always happy memory for those
who have visited that country. The
possibilities of similar Identification
in this country are just coming into
view, says the American Tree Asso-
citation of Washington. Some me-
mortal tree planting has been done
along our major highways. This is
program that should be given the
most careful thought, for in tree
planting we must think of thousand
times thousand tomorrows. This
means the right tree must be put in
the right place; soil and climatic con-
ditions must be considered; what the
next county plans must be kept in
mind and there must be the most
hearty cooperation on the part of the
tree planters with the highway de-
partment and with the adjacent land
owner.
The memorial tree idea that has
been taken up throughout the country
under the leadership of the American
Tree Association of Washington,
lends itself admirably to the Road of
Remembrance plan but misses the
point entirely unless the tree adds
beauty to the situation in which the
tree 'that looks at God all day" is
placed. This should be kept in mind
by every tree planter for if the tree
is a memorial tree or the road is a
Road of Remembrance, the planting
must be of such character that those
for whom the trees are planted
would be proud of the new beauty
given to the world.

the ore is an extremely technical proc
ess. The objective of the operations,
however, is to remove the impurities
from the ore and to concentrate the
sodium nitrate so that when ready for
shipment the fertilizer contains SO to

alyzes 1916 per cent nitrogen. Iodine,
which is also present in the ore, Is a
by-product of the refining process.
Small quantities Of this element are

gists and engineers in Chile indicate
that the deposits are of sufficient size
to supply the needs of the world for

Life of q Sponge

Sponges live their own lives and eat
their own food as other animals do.
The separate existence of sponge
begins when tiny particle, after be-
ing whirled about for time by ocean
tides and currents, eventually attaches
itself to a piece Of rock, and from
that home 1t seeks its own livelihood.
The food of infant sponges consists of
yolk cells, which contain a form Of
nourishment Later, as the sponge
grows, it requires something more
solid. and this is brought in by the
currents.
