SCOOPS COLUMN
By Scoop Himself

After breaking camp, l was sure l
would have thought or two to ex-
press, but my mind evidently has be-
come expressionless. So I got Bill
Butt to write an essay on hair, or the
human cooling system, and here it is:
"a hair in the head is worth two in
the comb, or on your shoulder, any old
day in the year. With the help of
Noah Fleshcob l have made some
wonderful discoveries. It's appalling
the number of good whiskers that are
lost each morning. Man gives off
heat in hot weather and hair grows
faster in hot weather, therefore whis-
kers are given to man to radiate this
heat. Whiskers not only save the ex-
pense of a necktie but act as an avn
ing to prevent sunburn, hide-out
for revealing facial expressions and
are convenient soup strainers. From
experience I can say that a bald
headed man spends lot of time mop
ping up water that's squeezed out Of
his head during hot weather, while
these hairy apes have their skin
cooled by nature.
Most hot-headed men, you'll find
are bald, and usually, too bald. Be-
lieve me, if had my hair-cooled mo-
tor back again I would keep it, in
spite of dandruff and exzema. What
fools these mortals be to keep shaving
off the original noiseless, costless, life
time cooling system.
"I'd be in the House of David now
if hadn't been blackballed for being
too bald"

ton, ILL.,, in her usual forceful and in
teresting manner, reviewed the Home
Mission study book, "The Challenge
of Change" by John Milton Moore.
This book is appropriately titled, for
it presents a real challenge to the
thought and effort of Christian men
and women to do their part in bring
| ing about adjustments in social, re-
ligious and economic conditions that
will help to meet the need of chang
ing world, and Mrs. Brummitt, who
does not confne herself entirely to
the "text" left her class plenty of food
for thought which she had gathered
from various sources. She also gave
a splendid address on Home Missions
at an evening session, which was bas-
ed on travel and research.
Nowhere, perhaps, can be found a
leader of Junior Methods who can
surpass Mrs. C. K. Lippard, of Phil
adelphia, charming and deeply spir-
itual little woman, who, with her hus-
band, served for twenty-five years as
missionary in Japan, and who, be-
cause of illness in her family, is now
living in this country. In addition to
her methods she gave an illustrated
lecture on Japan at night meet
ing and reviewed the Junior study
book for the coming year, which is
entitled "Open Windows" She made
this book fairly alive with beauty and
interest for workers with young peo-
pie, and fortunate indeed will be the
boys and girls who will benefit by the
methods outlined by Mrs. Lippard
for presentation of this delightful
book.

IN USE
ONLY 50 PER CENT
Survey Shows Industries Are
Utilizing Little MoreaThan
Half Capacity.l
Special Dispatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 28.-Only 80 per
cent Of the production capacity Of the
country's industrial corporations Is
utilized at the present time, 1t is re-
yealed in an industrial survey conducted
by Campbell, Peterson d Co., Inc, and
based on the individual analyses OF
several hundred manufacturing execu-
tives throughout the country. In sup
port of this, three-fourths OF thoseN
questioned declared conclusively that
new products could be introduced into
existing manufacturing plants without
excessive investment in additional
machinery.
"Knwoledge OF this industrial poten-
TALLY of our factories" the company
says, "holds more significance than
being merely an indication OF generally
curtailed production. 1t means that as
business conditions improve, large addi-
tons to capital property and equipment
will not really be required ana that
there are ample manufacturing facilities
available for the new products that are
coming along and may come along Tor
some years ahead. But In order to take
up this slack, rather than increase IT,
intelligent planning Is needed.
The chief needs of American industry
today, as recommended by the large
number of executives reached, appear
In the following order: Better manage
ment, named by 19.4 per cent; reor-
ganization of distribution, by 14.2 per
cent; mergers within each industry, l2.5
per cent extension Of research facil-
tiles, 119 per cent; pEice control, de-
yelopment of new markets, development
Of new products, conSolidat ton OF allied
industries, improved methods OF produc-
ton and cooperation or unrelated
industries.
The most serious weaknesses IN our
major industries, in addition to over
production, were stressed IS follows:
Excessive competition, inadequate dis
tribution channels, tnadequacy OF re-
search, lack of new products, obso-
lesence Of products, and obSoleSence OF
machinery and methods. Several added
the matter Of erroneous financial
policies of the banks and the Govern
ment as defects; also, out-of-date laws,
overdevelcped sales efforts, excessive
tural depression
That industrial corporations. as q
whole, are not taking full advantage Of
technical ability to improve their con-
ditions was almost unanimously con-
coded. The majority believed that re-
search as conducted by individual cor
porations-while, Of course, there are
exceptions-is still inadequate; and 10
per cent believed that the advantages Of
cooperative research within industries
are too little recognized. In a larger
field, IA per cent believed that the
advantages of exchange of research re-
suits among different industries are
neglected In addition, the organiza-
ton and direction Of outside invention
and research was recommended by II
per cent.

High Ideals Sought in
Principles of Bahaism

The religious sect known as Bahia
ism originated in Persia in 1874. Tile
first prophet was ALI Mohammed, or
the Bah. Hosein Ali was the first adj
herent of the Bah and later announced
himself as the one Bah foretOld. He
became known as Baha'u'llah. He died
in 1892, and before his departure
named his oldest son, Abdul BAHIA Alb
bas, Interpreter of his text and the
center of his covenant. He passed
away November %, 1921, and in his
will designated his grandson, Shoghi
Effendi, guardian of the cause. The
general principles Of the Bahais
founded upon the teachings Of BAHIA
'u'llah are: The oneness of mankind;
the independent investigation of
truth; the foundation of all religions
is one; religion must be the cause of
unity; religion must be in accord with
science and reason; equality between
man and woman; prejudice Of all
kinds must be forgotten; universal
peace; universal education; solution
of the economic problem; universal
language; an international tribunal.
The Bahais believe in the essential
necessity of the INTERPRETATION of the
Messianic principle, or the holy spirit,
in the life of humanity.

TRANSPORTING Criminal.

In England, under statute of 1897,
dangerous rogues" might be banished
by justices, but no system of trans
portation Of criminals can be said to
have arisen until the time of Charles
II, when justices were empowered to
send certain offenders to America in
stead OF infiicting the death penalty.
In 1117, transportation was authorized
as substitute for other punishments
than hanging, and the contract system,
by which individuals agreed to trans
port convicts in return for their labor
during the period of sentence, was es-
tablished. Protests from America
were frequent, but unavailing. Most
Of the colonies received some of these
criminals.

Ancient Chessboard

A chessboard seven thousand years
old was found in the tomb Of the
Egyptian high priest, Jarso Angh. Be-
sides the mummy and the chessboard
the tomb contained statues Of the
priest and his wife.
From this find it would appear that
the game dates from a period Of at
least 5000 years before Christ and
that it is of Egyptian and not Persian
or Chinese origin, as considered be-
fore. The ancient story Of the man
who agreed to pay debt by placing
a grain of wheat upon the first square
of chessboard, two grains on the sec
ond, four grains on the third, eight
grains on the fourth, etc, seems also
to have been Of Egyptian origin. The
calculation, thus carried out, will be
discovered to require, long before the
sixty-fourth square is reached, more
wheat possibly than has ever been
produced in all the world.-Exchange.

The word budget can be traced
back to the Latin word 'bulga," but
it is believed that this was itself an
adaptation of word from the Celtic
language of old Gaul. It meant a
Heather bag" and from it we have
the old English "bouge," "a bag" and
budget" "a little bag" which was
in slang used to mean something like
"a bag of tricks" In 1873 a pamphlet
on Sir Robert Walpole's forthcoming
excise bill was published entitled "The
Budget Opened" the phrase being
used as equivalent to 1.-THE cat out of
the bag" Henceforth a chancellor Of
the exchequer making his statement
Of proposed taxes was said to "open
his budget" and soon the word
budget" was used without jocular in
tent of the statement itself.--Montreal

Chinese Breeders Make
Varieties of Goldfish

Goldfish made their first appear
ance in Europe In the year 1901, hav-

writes DR.. Berthold Laufer, in the
Field Museum News. "They had come
to St Helena from Bavaria, and
Chinese settlers who emlgrated to Java
had brought them along as a reminder
Of their home country.
Charles Darwin believed that gold
Ash had been kept In confinement in
China from an ancient period. The
belief is well founded and Is strongly
supported by Chinese records. The
goldfish is a native Of China and still
Is to be found in a wild state in rivers
there. It has been brought by the
Chinese not only into a complete state
Of domestlcation, but also numerous
varieties and the many fantastic and
grotesQue monstrosities with protrud-
ing eyes or with three and four lobed
tails are the products Of Chinese eff
fort. These varieties were produced,
not by chance, but by a studied and
conscious method of interbreeding."

Now, Here's Good Advice:
Get That Half Century

In becoming rich, II is the first mill
lion that is the hardest. In fact, 1t Is
so hard that many are exhausted at
$4,000 and stop there. After the first
million Is banked 1t multiplies itself
automatically. A fat million has only
to sit down and grow In adiposity.
1t Is like a magnet drawing dollars
But $4,000 has to be taken care
Of like a helpless baby. It is subject
to many infantile, juvenile, adolescent,
mature and senile Ills. Fifty thou
sand" Is never very well, but Is al
ways pleasant companion. To know
1t is there, intact and rearing q crop
Of modest dividends each year, in
spires a restful state Of mind. You
never will be reduced to the extrem-
ity of cracking rock. Fifty thousand"
nurtured and cherished will last life
time, will last for cons IL 1t doesn't
have to be split up among heirs.
1t is a wand to summon the less
ambitious satisfactions of life. and 1t
does not suffer from being overshad-
owed by the leviathan fortunes of null
timilllonaires. Its revenue is as sure
as theirs.
Young man, get $50O00-not too
hastily, but year by year,. Il. Col

Spider's Wonderful Web

The first thing that a spider does
in weaving his web is to lay the fOun-
dalton line. He attaches a line at the
point of departure and crawls along
spinning it as he goes and holding up
the newly spun thread by the claws
Of one Of his hind feet until it reaches
considerable length. He then draws
in the slack and makes ii fast. The
spider then goes over the line several
times to strengthen the foundation,
after which he spins the other lines
Of the web. In the case of lines of
webs appearing great distances apart
the spider emits thread, which is cut
by the air current from it's spinneret5
until it becomes entangled in the sur
rounding branches. This power Of
emitting silk some little distance and
allowing the wind to draw it out is
frequently exercised in the early life
Of many spiders.

Jewish festival

The Feast of Lights is Hanukka, the
Jewish Feast Of Dedication. The dis
tinctive ceremonial feature of this
festival today is the kindling Of lights
in the home and in the synagogue, one
on the first evening, the number being
increased by one on each consecutive
evening, until eight lights are lit on
the last evening of the festival. Spe-
cial prayers inspired by the historic
event commemorating the triumph Of
monotheism over heathenism, Of the
forces of light over the forces Of dark
ness, are recited. Special scriptural
portions are read in the synagogue.
In modern times, children's festivals,
in which the story and significance Of
the feast are recounted, have become
II marked feature in the celebration
Of the Feast of Dedication.

Pays to Enter Own Door

How would you like to have to pay
fee for entering your own front
door? The vicar Of st. Brides, Fleet
street, has to do this. Bridewell place,
at the back Of the church where the
viearage is situated, was built on land
belonging to the Bridewell foundation,
and the old dividing wall ran along
the lines Of the present vicarage rail
ings. The result is that there is no
free right Of way into the house, and
the vicar has to pay a toll of a guinea
(about $5) a year. Bridewell has had
an interesting history. Formerly a
palace, 1t became in turn a hospital,
a "house Of occupations" a work
house, and prison. 1t ceased to be
a prison In 1884, when Holloway Jail
took its place, but there still is a cell
for apprentices who may be commit
ted there by the city chamberlain. 1t
never is used.-London Tit-Bits.

Welcomed End CT Ed:ct
Against Highland Dress

A Highland exhibition, illustrative
of Olden times and life in the High
lands, held in Inverness, Scotland, at
tracted many hundreds Of visitors.
There was among the many "relics" of
the '45 rare copy Of Gaelic proc
lamation permitting the use of the
Highland dress after it was banned.
The proclamation was sent by Rev.
II. l.. Richie, Creich, Sutherland, and
the Gaelic spelling is In parts phonetic.
The English translation is as follows:
"Llsten, men This is bringing be-
fore all the sons of the Gael that the
king and parliament OF Britain have
for ever abolished the act against the
Highland dress that came down to
the clans from the beginning Of the
world to the year 1746 This must
bring great joy to every Highland
heart. You are no longer bound to
the unmanly dress of the Lowlander.
This is declaring to every man, young
and old, gentles and commons, that
they may after this put on and wear
the trews, the little kilt, the doublet,
the small plaid, along with the tartan
kilt, without fear OF the law Of the
land or the jealousy Of enemies"
