JASPER INDIANA Every auto speeder (ancles himself immune. London "Punch" Is seventy years told. So are some of Its jokes. A trip In the air Is now the quickest 'way to get underground quickly. A suggestion of work is like burling fa bomb Into the hoboes convention. Joy riding Is no longer uncertain. The results usually can be told In advance. What use have wo for mermaids when pretty American girls can outswim the world? New York has killed 113,306 dogs and cats and the people are getting more sleep per capita. A Boston man at 5S ears of corn In two hours, which shows culture isn't every Boston man's specialty. The magazines are carried in freight trains and even then they are able to anticipate their date lines. That Harvard professor who says people are better off by not taking vacations is talking through his mortar board. Old-fashioned mothers are badly seeded, says a minister; and so are old fashioned children. It might be added. The aeroplane Is expected to be a great peacemaker. By taking the Jingoes up into the air and leaving them there? A Chicago man wants a divorce because his wife refuses to talk to him. Casting pearls before swine, so to speak. If Atwood's long flight didn't do anything else. It put on the map several small towns that nobody had ever heard of before. News that there Is an unusually large crop of cranberries Is but an unpleasant reminder to the inhabitants of the barnyard. Inventor Bell has designed a furnace which he claims will "cool a house. Now will somebody design a furnace that will heat a house? A dispatch from New York tells us that a policeman was bitten 52 times by a dog. As we go to press the dog Is in a critical condition. The new comet soon will be visible to the naked eye this Is, if one has nothing better to do than to Bit up all night waiting for iL No man has ever been found who has so little confidence In himself as to think that he could not edit a newspaper better than the editor. Inventor Bell has designed a furnace which he claims will cool a house Instead of heating iL He's too late. Most of those already on the market do that same thing. Megaphones for street cars have proved a failure. What about megaphones for passengers who wish to get oft at a certain station on lines where the bell doesn't ring? A man in Pennsylvania made a bet that he could stay under water for two minutes and dived to win IL He stayed under two hours, and succeeded only in demonstrating that a fool's wager ic a poor cause In which to risk and lose a life. A Chicagoan is trying to organize a society to "honor old maids." but ho will find few who are willing to admit that they are eligible for membership. When a man is lost In tho clouds nowadays it does not follow that he is a dreamer. He may be an energetic aviator seeking to break altitude records. From New York comes the tale of a man who was bitten by an enraged oyster. It remains for Winsted. Conn., to spring something about a man-eating snail. . A New Jersey man who was bitten by a fly has developed blood poUonIng. Evidently the Jersey fly is envious of the fame achieved by the Jersey 'skeeter. A woman in New York lost, by her marriage to her fourth" busband, alimony awarded her from her third. This decision destroys a possible and promising consecutive matrimonial Industry. What sems to be needed as badly as anything Just now Is an automobile that will balk the moment its driver ceases to treat It right A Frenchman tells us that Americans are Ignorant of things pertaining to avlatiotC And yet we have killed our full quota of aviators. Doctor Sargent of Harvard says trousers beat a skirt sitting, standing, walking ot running. And when It ones to striking a match troustra Jure beat a block.

SUITS

State Health Board to Protect Patron. The free lunch counters In saloons in Indiana are the next targets in the "clean-up" light being waged by the state board or hoalth. 11. B. Barnard, chemist of tho board, said ho will instruct his deputies, at a comIng meeting, to compol compliance with tho sanitary food laws herearter, na well as tho pure food laws, by every saloon keeper In tho state. No more will bartenders be permitted to wipo off tho sllnio or a dozen previous portions of "dog and slaw" on their sleeves nnd tender tho fork for tho thirteenth helping. Mr. Hap nard said hereafter freo lunch counters In saloons must bo safeguarded from flies with glass cases, and the utensils used in the distribution of food must be cleansed by methods which will minimize the chances of bacteria spread. Soda fountains also are to be

watched closely by the state chemist. Glasses, dishes and spoons used in serving soda water and other rountnln concoctions, will bo washed in an en tirely different way from the "cold water splash," If the proprietors desire, to escape prosecution, the state health ofllclal declared. Heretofore the Investigation of sa loons by stato board of health olllclnls has been conllned strictly to obviating tho use of ndulteratcd or fraudulently labeled beverages. Tho tree lunch counter now must come up to the same requirements expected of restaurant keepers, cate proprietors and hotel managers. "There is. so far as I know, not a saloon keeper In Indianapolis who Is protecting his free lunch counter," said Mr. Barnard, discussing tho comrons dig in with forks, hundreds of them a day. Tho same, forks are used and the germs travel at will from one mouth to another. That heterogeneous method of serving must be stopped. If It Is not dono In a legal way hereaf ter tho proprietors will have to take the consequences. "The soda fountains are Just as amenable to the enforcement of the restaurant law as are the Ealoons. We have been studying the soda fountain situation for some time and have de cided to act so that in both classes of places such methods will be used for cleansing utensils as will eradicate tho danger or spreading Inrection from one mouth to another." Will Not Seek Offices. Edgar A. Perkins, whose seven teenth victory In elections for the presidency of the Indiana State Fed eration of Labor was won at the Evansvllle convention, says he has made his last race for that office. Perkins says he had not intended to be a can didate at the Evansvllle election, but, in the weeks preceding the meeting, members of tho opposing faction had been spreading broadcast the story that he was a candidate and were boasting that they would give him a good "skinnlng." The president of the federation says be wished to see If they could do it. "They will not get any more chances at me like that," Bald Perkins on hla return from French Lick, where ho and Clarence Gaumer spent a week after the Evansvllle convention. "I don't want the Job any more. I dv not think that circumstances will arise, either, that will cause me to change my mind." Clarence Gaumer, five times secre tary of tho state federation, who was defeated at the Evansvllle convention by George Schwab of Evansvllle, also says that ho will not attempt to regain tho secretaryship. Gaumer attributes his defeat principally to the intluenc of State Senator Stephen B. Fleming of Ft. Wayne, and to the manner In wmch the socialists lined up with the Fleming men and with the John Hughes faction at the convention. Future for Indiana Orchardiats. Members of tho Indiana Horticul tural society who aro promoting the stato apple show for the week of No vember 6 in Indianapolis say that tho revival of interest in orchards over tho Btate has been remarkable in the last few years. Largo companies have ben formed to Invest In fruit land, others aro organizing to develop or chard tracts, still others aro going In for tho business of fruit growing on an extensive scale, and In practically every neighborhood of every county old orchards, which had been permit ted to go to decay, aro being replant ed. Not only are old orchards being restored and new ones being planted, but there are signs everywhere that Indiana Is rapidly moving up In the list of npple-producing states. This progress is expected to be still tnoro marked as education on the subject Is spread by the stato apple show and similar mediums. Members of tho society say that the day of the apple specialist is here. The old plea that pests and diseases had ruined the orchards Is not now accepted, because scientific research, the discovery of Bprays and the Invention of appliances have placed In the hands of the grower weapons that aro driving out tho orchard enemies and permitting the production of high-grade fruit. Asks Change on Contracts. The stato printing board will recelvo bids on a two-year contract lor all state printing, under the board's direc tion, December 2. A number of state officials arc advocating that a clause bo Inserted In tho contract compelling tha state printer to stop delays In tho delivery of tho reports of stato offices. The present state printer has answered these ofllclals that because of the great volume of business passing through the hands of the printer from the state offices this year It has been Impossible.
