days with peritonitis. Howard was an exceptionally bright, strong baby and his sickness and sudden death came as a shock to all who knew him.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Jay walkers add to our vexations: they violate all regulations; in city streets and country byways they laugh to scorn the rules of highways. As I go chugging in my motor, I oft run down and squash some voter, some chuckle-headed human being, who goes around with eyes unseeing. I know that speed’s a thing unholy, so I drive carefully and slowly, and toot my horn at every crossing, where traffic cops the mob are bossing. But little profit is there in it, for in a sad and fateful minute the squarehead rushes, in a hurry, from back of yonder standing surrey, and lands right in the path before me; a dizzy sickness rushes o’er me, as my big car climbs up his person, and people gather round me, cursin’. They tell how they would like to lynch . me, while brassbound cops come up and pinch me. The man on foot is never erring; the motorist all blame is bearing. The walkers zizzag here and yonder, and break all bylaws as they wander, and when they get beneath a wagon, because of ziggin’ and of zaggin’, the people cry, “Let’s hang the chuffer, who thus makes worthy walkers suffer.” Engineers estimate that standing four inches away from the telephone when talking ' is equivalent to lengthening the line 218 miles. A three-story building, given by ex-Governor Mead of Vermont has been opened by the Congregational church of Rutland, Vermont, as a social center. In connection with this is a gymnasium, also the exGovernor’s gift.

TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE

Jacob Pruitm' et ux to Docko Dykema et ux, December 22, w% ne 15-31-7, Keener, $5,000. The pioneer United Presbyterian missionary to the Sudan, Dr. J. Kelly Giffen, in his own home cares for forty black waifs of inner Africa. He is seeking $26,500 to buy them a farm and establish a large home for 150 boys. The shortage of wool in this country and the increased demands for it owing to army needs, will necessitate radical changes in men’s clothing next year. Cuffs on the trousers are- tabooed, aa are plaited coats with belts and fancy waistcoat lapels. The lapels on coats and flaps on coat pockets will be narrowed considerably. In short, any' place on a garment where a few inches of cloth can be saved without injuring it will be made over. —Pathfinder. A large tire company has recently inaugurated the policy of shipping its product all the way from Akron, Ohio, to Boston, Massachusetts, by motor truck. The trucks take about four days to make the trip of 1,500 miles and are fitted with a sleeping compartment to be used by two drivers who take turns at the wheel. On the return trip the trucks are loaded with cotton fabrics from mills in Connecticut. The big trucks carry a sign reading “Akron-Boston Express.”—Wa.ll Street Journal. .
