There is friend of mine who lives
next to an armory. In the regiment
to which the armory belonged was a
man who evidently had ambitions to
become bugler. After everything
was over on drill nights and the 9TH
ers had gone home, he would remain
and practice bugle calls. Perhaps at
eleven o'clock, he would blow tattoo
for a while, which was fair enough,
but around midnight he would start in
on reveille, or boots and saddles. La
ter still, he might blow the mess call.
Now the listener to whom l refer rs a
man who retires and rises early, but
he had no desire to boot and saddle
at / a. m. And as for the mess call,
his doctor refuses to permit him to eat
at night. The result is that a good,
Woodworking fellow with music in his
soul may never become an expert
bugler, merely through lack Of prac-
tice.
Some persons are, like that. They
have no appreciation of honest effort.
A side street in New York was being
excavated, as all streets are. Some
time IL the early hours q workman
with lantern climbed down into the
trench and began to beat cheerily with
hammer on piece of metal. Henry
w. Longfellow would have appreciated
such industry. He might have been
inspired to write something else along
the line Of ''The Village Blacksmith"
But the fellow who did hear the mu-
steal notes was no poet, but only a
retired for the night business man.
Securing three electric light bulbs, he
hurled them in quick succession from
seventh-story window, so that they
struck what was left of the street in
the immediate vicinity of the worker.
If you ever have dropped an electric
light bulb on hard surface from any
height, you know what happened. The
cheerful worker got out of that exca-
walton in one jump and made the first
100 yards in record time. To his dy-
ing day, he probably will believe that
ssome one was shooting at him.
Golfers and bridge players insomnia
are among the commonest forms of the
malady. The golfer plays each shot
over; the bridge, player each hand. Be-
tween dark and daylight, some most
remarkable drives are made and every
finesse is successful. About the only
cure know for this form of wakeful-
ness Is chloroform.
But there is the old reliable method
of inducing slumber. First you must
relax all your muscles and your jaw.

He happened to get room in a hotel
where street light shone through the

down over his nose and mouth, threat

Why Is 1t '.Hoodlun,'' and
s.HOOLienn''?

We all know "hoodlum' to be a
ruffian. The word is frequently APP
piled to street urchins who make a
nuisance of themselves generally, but,
it is in the sense of roughneck that it
Is usually understood.
We have it after a gangster named
Muldoon, who, in 1868, made life mis-
cradle for many of the citizens of San
Francisco.
Public idignation finally led to Null
doon's arrest and arraignment under
the name of "Noodlum," which, be-
cause of the bad handwriting of the
court clerks, was misread as flood
lum," in which form it stayed In our
language in the general sense.
In this connection, it might be stat
ed that our word "Hooligan" for a
roustabout is similarly derived from
the name of notorious gangster of
London in the year 1898.

NEW SCHEME IN
 REFRIGERATION
Synthetic Daylight Perfect ed for Benefit of
 Housewives

DAYTON, May 14.-Syn h ct c daylight, said to be an exact repro. duction of Old Sol's best effort, has been perfected by lighting experts so that the porcelain sides of the American homemakers electric re- frigerator will be as perfectly matched as her finest set of dish eS.
 Constant daylight was necessitat- ed when it was announced that in the future these electric refrigera- tors would be finished in snow te steel This gleaming finish, it is said, will blend with any kitchen color scheme.
 Three coats of porcelain are bak- ed onto the steel sides of the new Electric Refrigerators at a heat of 1900 degrees Fahrenheit. When the last ccat is fused into the steel pan- els, the panels pass along a pro- duction line beneath the artificial daylight. There trained eyes match the panels. Any departure from the snowy color is quickly detected and the panel is removed from pro- duction.
 Flint hard and having the ap- pearance of glass, this porcelain-on- steel finish is extremely durable. The scraping of pans and dishes across the flat service shelf top will not mar it, dirt and even ink and crayon marks can be erased with a few strokes of a damp cloth. The interior is just as white and sani- tary, and in addition is acid re- sisting, immune to the strongest fruit juices.

SNOWDEN STANDS STANCHLY FOR
 FREE TRADE.

Referring to the proposal to increase duties on imports the tariff for revenue scheme, Philip Snowden Englands little masterful Chancellor of the Excheouer in his recent remarkable budget speech with white lips cried T reterate my op- position to such proposals They would mean 2e- lieying the well-to-do at the expense of the poor He then announced his proposal to tax the lands and other property of the Kingdom four-tenths of one per cent to produce the needed money.
 Chancellor snowden, perhaps the profoundest student of economics in public life, is firm free trader, and refuses to budge inch from his increased He regards tariff tax as tax on industry and, therefore, tax on worklnglnen tie believes that accumulated wealth ought to bear the burdens created by the emergency growing out oi the war aftermath and "unparalled depression" For like reasons he refused to increase the 221A per cent. income tax.

 The reception of Chancellor Snowdens budget speech by the British people is not encouraging tc those who had hoped for Conservative Government and protective tariff at early day. It also has apparently justified Leader Lloyd George and his Liberal following for their alliance with the Labor Government through which Premier Macdonald and his Cabinet have been kept in power.

In Justice to "DOn Alfonso"
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
 While the new Provisional Government in Spain is elciting recognition from the major powers and working hard the foundations of republican the contribution to peace which was made by the gentleman described in the House of Commons as Don Alfonso is likely to be underestimated. Of this there is timely reminder in address given by Under Secretary of State Castle at Indianapolis on Wednesday. MT. Castle speaking the will to peace, and his reference to Spain was casual and guarded, but his tribute to King Alfonso XIII was unqualified. "1n leaving Spain to avoid blood she'd said he, after making it clear that the char acter of Spains government the business of the Spanish people, "the King proved himself noble worker for peace"
 It will be remembered that in his farewell state ment to his people the monarch who is a refugee in England said: T could have employed means to keep the royal prerogatves and effectively fight my adversaries, but I wish to avoid every thing that might throw my compatrots into fratr- cidal civil war. In the hour of republican victory this probably looked to most readers like pose designed to save few shreds of royal dignity in a generally humiliating situation. But MT. Castle is in position to know what that situation was, and he gives the King -u1. credit for sincerity. It seems likely from other evidence too that had the King chosen to call for armed support he could have made very grim fight for the royal pre- negatives"
 The fact that the municipal elections which gave
 the republicans three-fourthS of the Provincial capi- tals did not yield republican majority for Spain as whole has been obscured by subsequent events but known to King Alfonso when he penned his vaedictory. Since "the people voting in the villages are just as much Spaniards as those in the cities" as Senor de la Cerva, said, man more concerned for his throne than for his country might easily have persuaded himself that if he fought to maintain his position until the election of the members of the Cortes he would have sufficient following in that body to indorse his stand. Indeed, the Kings present refusal to abdi- cate spite of the embarrassment to which it sub ects him exile is evidence that he still does not consider himself deposed by the lasting will of any great body of his people. Under these condi- tions it is impossible not to feel with Mir Castle that Don Alfonso" deserves unqualified praise for giving his countrymen chance to decide among themselves, without to the violence which his presence would have engendered whether or not they build better Spain without him.

Apostle of Democracy.

Yesterday marked the 188th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson of the strongest, most impressive characters identified with the hiS- torical development of Americas political destiny He very literally was the author of our scheme of democracy. He wrote and enshrined it's principles in the Declaration of Independence He easily the most versatile and cuturaly many-sided man of his day, not excepting Benjamin Franklin or John Adams. His literary and scientific abilities won for him the admiration of Edmund Burke. He was learned in languages devoted to music and ex- celed in outdoor athletic sports. He from the first the peer of the leading lawyers of his time
 Jefferson became a successful and popular Min ister to France. AS Washington's Secretary of State he came into his own. He was an American and a Democrat. He at clashed with that other great and fine intellectual genius Alexander Hamilton, man antipodal in temperament and political belief. Hamilton was at the time Sec retary of the Treasury They differed financial problems and proposals.

When he retired. in 1909, he had almost continuously en- joyed public service for forty years Like Washing ton, he refused to be elected for a third time.
