SusKjettion for Plumber*. A plumber working In a North side home r«s<ently encountered unusual hospitality. Katherine, age six, was watching the plumber cut the concrete floor In the basement In order to get to a pipe. After working several minutes the plumber leaned back against the wall and remarked that the concrete certainly was hard to cut. “If you are tired, enure upstairs and take a bath and then take a nap,” was the child's suggestion.—Indianapolis News.

Health Resorts Have Flourish,.] in All Ages. First Complrtc Institution Known Was on the Eastern Coast of the Peloponnesus— Employed All Restoratives* Now Known. llculth resorts are far from being new-fangled f:oK according to the following extract from a eoniiniinleation to the National Geographic society by Or. .lames .1. Walsh: "In Itouian limes there was a health resort at Itiilue, while In the Inter medieval period health resorts grew up at Salerno, not far from Naples, and at Montpelier, in France, both of them serving eventually as the nuclei of uiedlcnl schools. “The flrst complete health resort of history w as at Kpidiiuvus. 'I his w as a town on the eastern const of the Peloponnesus, in the district ihat wacalled Argolis in Roman times. "In lids free city there grew up a cult of Aesculapius, the Greek god of health, who had been an old-time physician and who seemed to the Greeks of Ids generation to know so much alanit the cure of disease that thev thought that he must surely continue to help them after his death; therefore they made a god of him. "The most interesting thing about this great health resort is that It made use of all the natural means of eiiic that are sometimes thought In modern times in he comparatively recent inv cut ions. ••The features .f Epidaurus were the ahatons. or open-air sleeping a pa 11 uients ; a theater that would seat over Iimnsi people, a stadium seating souie IL’.tsai. and a hippodrome foi amusements in which animals shared, sealing some fl.tMHI. Resides, there were ninguiflcently appointed bathing houses, walks beneath shady trees for the patients in the warmer weather, anil in porticos between magnificent eoliinins and in ihe beautiful surroundings of variously arranged flower beds and landscape gardening. Ineluding pools and small waterfalls. In Inclement weather.”

No Hay in Philippines.

Grass cannot hi cured in the Philippines, because of the great humidity. As a consequence it Is cut fresh every day and brought Into the towns and cities for snie at ,i stipulated price per eiirga, two bundle:' weighing about 1 pounds. It is cut -vlth a small homemade knife, and washed in running water before being placed In the bundle. American horses cannot live on it hut native horses eat it and grow fat Guinea grass and Bermuda are the commonest kinds of grasses grown for horse roughage in the Islands. For American horses and mules hay is Imported Into Manila from the Pacific coast states and brings about $7." a ton. Oats sell for about the same price, i in account of excessive rains oais ciinnot he grown In ihe islands; rust affects It. Corn grows well: Filipino farmers can harvest three crops a year from a single piece of ground. To keep it, it Is necessary to leave It in the husk : otherwise weev ils destroy it. It is tied in bundles and hung on bamboo poles and husked and shelled as needed. Gorn mills are now being established in the Vlsuyan islands, where the natives prefer eorumenl

to rice as a staple food. Really Not Badger at All.

I LAUGHS at vibration idea t | Texa; Journal Pokes Fun at Cult Vvhich Attained More or Loss of a Standing. According to the Amarillo News, “It wouldn't be such a difficult job to shake the earth to pieces.” “Experimenters have often iuillt little ciird-ho.-ml and paper houses in their laboratories and knocked them down with llllislr,” s;iys ifie Sah Angelo Standard. A scientist had said that if be could place a bass viol on every floor of the Woolvvorlh building, tune them exactly alike and, stationing himself across tht* slreet with another instrument. he could in limp play down ihe building leave not one stone on another. The man who asserts lie could shake j down the tVoolworth building with a lot of bass fiddles probably is one of those ju/.z sclentisis such as some of vhe yellow Journals employ to etilight en, or al least lo entertain, their vacuous readers. Vibration is, to be sure, a physical force, and when sufficiently multiplied it can be made to do a heap of damage. It was the vibration from the rams' horns that threw down the walls of Jericho. Some people who have never heard a Hebrew of the Joshuan era blowing a ram's horn have been inclined to doubt the possibility of such a noise wrecking a city's walls, although they might i oueede It the power to wreck a city's nerves. But granting that Hie Jazz scientist could destroy the W'oolvvortli building by vibrating It to death with bass viols, wouldn't that fie a ridiculous way to go about such destruction? It would be so much easier to tear down Mr. Wool worth's playhouse with crowbars and picks and sledges that only a Jazz scientist would think of tackling the Joh with musical instruments. There is much about vibration that most of us are ignorant of, and It is for this reason perhaps that some of the smart psyehists have eommenced to employ the vibratory suggestion In their own business. Vibrations arc alleged or implied as agencies of mental organization, and the tuning <>f | minds to make their vibrations correspond with vibrations from another quarter Is said to he practical. The slang expression, “wouldn't that jar you?” is merely a low-brow way of asserting that one’s vibrations are In collision with the vibrations ol somebody cl-e.—Dallas News.

Diplomatic Secretary. Some years ago 1 was private secretary to a well known man. and occa sionally I lunched with the family. It was in the height of the season, and a large week-end party was being entertained. I found it necessary to stay tc lunch. The conversation turned to golf My employer pronounced the won ‘‘golf;” his wife, ‘'gof.” This started a not unusual wrangle between the i two, and the guests took sides. Then as a native of Scotland, tin* birthplace | of the great game, 1 was appealed ti by my hostess to settle the dispute and more than one beamed In complete enjoyment of the predicament In which I found myself; for, if 1 compiled. I was bound to offend one cn the other. It was indeed my most embarrassing moment. Then in a flash came an Inspiration, and I breathed in relief, for I saw a means of escape. “As you appeal to me as a Scotch man. you will accept the usual Scotch pronunciation of the word as deel slve?" 1 asked. "Yes, yes.” they both answered. "Well. then. In Scotland we pr<s nounce it ‘gowf.’ ” And so that Incident passed In tin midst of hearty laughter, in which my host and hostess both joined.—Ex change.

Restore Old Church Windows. Gradually, after two years of patient reassembling work, the medieval stained gla^- windows of the oldest Paris churches, which were removed from their frames to be placed in safety during the air raids and bom linrdment "f the capital, are being restored to the places where they were originally -et up centuries ago. Much restoration had to be done upon those priceless relics of the highest period of ecclesiastical art. The precious fragments of glass, some of them stained a deep I the secret of preparing which has died out entirely, were occasionally broken in the work of removal, and the cleverest French craftsmen In glass work have been employed In preparing the splendid and fragile masterpieces for return to the churches from which they were taken.—From the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mall.

Washington clergymen are wondering which will he “the president’s church” after March, 19”L In the last eight, years Central Presbyterian, where President Wilson worshiped, has held the coveted title.

There Are Things Which Money Cannot Purchase.

Man Who Made That Assertion Proved His Case. Though Many Have Long Held a Contrary Opinion, Says an Exchange. A group of men were discussing, over the luncheon table, the purcliaaing power of money, tine of them, especially, waxed eloquent upon the subject. "There is nolliiiig money will not buy," he said positively, tme man took exception to this statement. "Money will not buy health.' be as scried. • "Wrong!" said the first, “’there Is many a poor man or woman who, If they had money to pay for proper treatment, would quickly regain their hrnltli. In many Instance*-, money will buy health." "Happiness, then—" “Wrong again. In rare Instances money will net buy happiness, hut In the ninjority of eases, yes. The possession of money means time for rest, recreation, study. travel—many things, all of which give happiness. I ll lell you." leaning across tin* table earnestly, “write down. If you ran find them, four things that money will not really buy . and for each one I will give you a thousand dollars.” The next day, si luncheon, the one win* was challenged handed the other a slip "f paper. After reading it. the man without a quibble handed his friend four .tl.IKKi bills. This is what was written on the paper: 1. A Baby's Smile—A baby's smile iHii never be purchased by offering It money. To the soul that lias so lately come from the place of the unborn, the means of exchange of this world utters no appeal. A mother's kiss, a father's caress, a flower, a bright-col-ored toy, may win a baby's siulle, hut yon cannot bargain for that smile with gold. ■J. Youth. When If Has Gone—"The mill will never grind with the water that has passed." The flush of youth, the luster of the eyes of a hoy in his teens, the carefree happiness of the maiden, when the years have brought maturity, can never come again. I’once de Loon In his quest for the spring of eternal youth realized that fact. He knew that youth, once gone, could never he bought lignin. Money will nut pure base its retrrn. even If heaped in piles of millions, and the spring for which the knight so diligently searched to Insure against the ravages of time was never discovered. X The Love of a Good Woman— Love, like a baby's smile, cannot he hough! with gold. Many a woman has simulated love for a dowry with a husband thrown In. and practiced the deception successfully for years, hut true love, of the kind vvhich lasts eternally, cannot he purchased. The love of a pure woman is held by her as the most sacred gift which she can bestow. It is not to be bought with gold, or silver, or precious stones. It is given freely to the limn she loves. 4. Entrance Into Heaven There Is an old saying that "shrouds have no pockets.” Money, which will purchase nearly everything in this world, cannot be taken to the next and used as a means of entrance into heaven. The keeper of the portals of the heavenly city is not susceptible to a bribe. There, at least, money has no value,— Frank Dorrance Ilopley in Dearborn 1 tab pendent.

MODERN HURRY AND SCURRY , Menace in the Nerve-Racking Haste Which Characterizes Present Generation Seen by Writer. Where is the old leisure, ihe old Jogtrot, the ancient habit of go as you ples'se? asks the outlook. The hurry and scurry that have become, unhappily, so much a part of our national consciousness, particularly in large clli Is, are likely to wreck our nerves if we are not on our guard. A friend of ours recently decided that what he needisl more tlian anything else, after' Ills buffetfngs with the perilous waves of Manhattan, was the tonic of a roadside walk. People jeered at him yes, positively Jeered —when la* made the suggestion; and In his pitiful search for companionship he could find no one who was willing to wander forth with him at a slow page. “I will take you In my car." said one potential iximpanlon. "But I do not wish to ride." answered our friend ; “l want to stretch my legs ami feed and Invite my soul hi the way that men were intended to do since the beginning of time." “You will he run over.” cautioned many. And, true enough—that proved to he Ids imminent danger when he wet forth—-alone. St>eeil has become the national disease. There Is nothing pleasanter than motoring under the right conditions; but seldom ean one find a chauffeur who will glide through the green country at the proper gait. Always he must overtake ihe ear Just ahead of him— and there is always a car just ahead of him. Sudden turns In the road bring Into immediate view other automohlles rushing ahead like mad; and It gets to he a game to catch up with them, blow one's horn and whiz past, as If .something were to he gained by the trick. What does it all mean? Is It possible that our nerves are forever on edge and that we have to hurry in order not to break down? The clamor of the country on n week-end Is hideous. and we think the silent hills must smile as they watch us pitiful humans rushing through the valleys, this way and that, mad to heat some one else to a goal that means nothing when we arrive there. A return to that large leisure and easi* w hich our forefathers knew would he a salutary tl'ing for America. We are altogether too keen about getting nowhere In particular, and then equally keen lo get away again instanter.

Japanese Adapt Ideas. You notice that the Japanese have mastered practically every Idea of American and European business methods They did not secure this information by sending a few salesmen to these countries to offer a few scattered lines of merchandise for the approval of the western world, writes u correspondent of ihe Washington I’ost. They sent picked men to this country and to Europe. These men studied conditions and reported back, to instruct others In the knowledge they hnd gained. Germany pursued much Hie same methods, and until Kaiser Bill went crazy nil the question of world domination and Involved Ihe whole civilized world in the holocaust of war the trademark “made In Germany" was familiar in every land. The United States could well take these countries iis an example In tills one particular, and. In my opinion, the government is the proper organization to hack a school for teaching our young men who wish positions abroad all possible facts regarding the people, habits and customs of the pnrtieulnr land In which they propose to help In making "made In America" the most fatnllinr trademark in the world.

But This is the 20th Century Generations ago people named friends and relatives as their executors. . Generations ago, too, people put to sea in frail crafts that took unthinkably long to get anywhere; dispatch, ed important messages by couriers; and only brave knights and wicked witches of fairy tales transported themselves through the air. But THIS is the twentieth century! People span the ocean in a few days, talk from one end of the continent to the other, fly from city to city in an airplane. And people named reliable institutions like ours to administer their es. tates.
