"HAUNTED HOUSE"' HOAXESThe psychical research expert, who has gone all tlis war from New York to Nova Scotia to solve the mystery of the "haunted" house, no doubt is familiar with the similar phenomena of history, including the joMin-ridden mansion of Woodstock which Sir Walter Scott has o graphically described, with a few characteristic embellishments, and the Cock Lane ghost which Dr. Samuel Johnson was instrumental in -"laying." These classical instances of '-haunting'' were
TentuaHy exposed as the work cf deliberate mischief makers, although for a while they disturbed the wisest minds of the tim. The origin, of the "Rochester rapplngs" which attended the launching of modern spiritualism was later confessed by the Fox sisters, and possibly the haunters of the Nova Scotia farm house will relent after they think the Joke has gene far enough. It i3 less than two years since mysterious happenings in an English farm bouse startled the entire country and sent the piyeaie investigators scurrying down from London. They were traced to a young girl who confessed her part tn the practical Joke, as had the fair author of the London hoax of more than a century before. An expert investigating a modern "haunted" house should keep these historical facts, and plenty of others that are in the records, in mind, for history has a way of repeating itself. A genuine "haunted" house w ould b a Joy in these prosr,N days and ought to command a premium from some romantically inclined person, hot it Is to be feared the Nova Scotia sensation will "peter out" as have all the others.
money, which wculd be divided amomr Hip ail if' in
proportion to their claims for reparations. This money presumably, would then be offered to America for the debts owed by Europe and we would be exactly where it has long been the desire of the promoters of the debt pooling idea to place us.
NOBODY WILL EE PUNISHED. The architectural and structural engineering expert engaged by the district committee of congress to investigate the wreck of the Knickerbocker theater, reports that the building was unsafe from the day it was completed. It was certain to fall some time, he says, either from faulty construction of the roof itself or insufficient resistance in the walls. The tragedy might as well have originated in the collapse of the walls which did not have the strength to carry the load imposed upon them. The district
committee has incorporated the expert's report iu the committee's report to congress. If his expert judgment is borne out by ether engineering authorities the res
ponsibility for the disaster has had new weight added .'
to it. It will be interesting to learn how a public building which promised protection to (ha lives of its patrons could be erected with unsafe walls and unsafe roof without official interference. In Brooklyn investigation following the collapse
of a theater in course of erection has disclosed a long j list of violations. Of 131 examined three have been j clcsed peremptorily, and 54 others marked as viola- 1 ting laws, but without showing structural defects that I would make Hie building actually unsafe. There is a j probability that congress will propose a rigid inspection of every amusement house which should settle the j
question oi satety so tar as structural qualities are concerned.

WHITE HANDS. ''If you'd have hands nice and white, Hold them up both day and night Stick them right up in the air. All the Llopd will rush elsewhere." ' Beauty expert seys its true. That's the thing for you to do. Though this hunch has won renown, It's not needed in this town. Our town folks, this much' we know, Must have hands as white as snow. Lofting them for bandits rude Is the usual attitude. The auctioning of wives is still practiced in the Society Islands, according to consular report. It is said the auctioneers are frequently shot by the successful bidders. After watching a "your. p sprout proudly step from the barber chair woo his reflection in the mirror, and finally leave with regret," the Great Bend "Tribune" hasn't the heart to criticise any woman's vanity. TO ALL BALDIIEADS: GREETINGS! The following New Year greeting is sent to all baldheads by Walter Wakeman, vice-president of the Bald Headed Club of America: "Twenty years ago eggs were 10 cents a dozen; milk, 5 cents a quart; the butcher gave away liver; the hired girl received a dollar a week and did the washing; women did not powder and paint in public, play "nut and take" or shimmy; men then wore whiskers and boots, chewed tobacco, spit on sidewalks, cussed; laborers worked ten hours a day and never went on strike; no tips were given to waiters and the hat check grafter was unknown. "Now every one rides in automobiles, or Fords; strains his neck looking at airplanes; plays the piano with his feet; goes to see movies; listens to grand opera on a phonograph; has discarded woolen underwear; complains about not having liberty to put his foot on the rail any more; swears at. his income tax; smokes cigarettes; drinks hair tonic end cologne; blames high cost of living on politicians; never goes to bed the same day he gets up and thinks he is having a heck of a time. These are the days of suffragettmg, profiteering and prohibition, and if you think life worth living we wish you a Happv New Year " The people of this country spent $750,000,000 last year for motion pictures instead of sending it to poor, unfortunate Europe. Scandalous! Prominent him director is being sued for separate maintenance by his wife because he promised to meet her in Kansas City and didn't. Brooklyn man is being sued for divorce because he put chewing gum in the paws of his wife's pet cat. Some women certainly have a' tough time.

I !P MAY NEED ANOTHER SNAKE.
If history continues to repeat according to tradi
tional form another popular demonstration before the house of parliament in Tokio may be expected and another snaks may throw consternation among Nipponese law makers. The defeat of the advocates of liberalism in the failure of the universal manhood suffrage bill a few dayi ago Is followed this week by considerrition in the house cf peers of the "activities control bill." Japenese editors, colleges, liberals, and of course, radicals, are liberally howling with anger because, according to their interpretation, the "activities control bill" if passed means the death of free speech, free assemblage and all constitutional guarantees of rights and privileges. This Tiew is probably correct, and all know that when the Japanese government sets out to regulate or control activities or inactivities it never fails In its regulation cr control. The charge of the newspapers, college professors and liberals of all grades from yellow to red that the bill is purposely loosely wcrded to allow it to be patted into shape to fit any occasion, also is probably cprrect. Liberalism and the trend towards democracy in Japan has advanced far enough to he. if not actually a menace to the existing imperial order, a source of official Irritation. And the Japanese official when irritated can be and usually is rather ugly In, his manner and methods of suppression. The "activities control r'l," therefore, seems to mean that while Japan Is protecting special interests in China, Korea, Siberia, Yap and other points, official stamina is not overworked to the point of neglecting Japan's special interest right at home. The snake may he bigger this time than last week.
THE NEWS FEATURE DRAWSAt a recent meeting of the Central New York Press Association great applause greeted the suggestion that
the time had come when all politicians should be made to pay advertising rates for every line of publicity they desired ;and the idea was also advanced that all political publicity should only be accepted at rates higher than those charged to department stores. There are a good many persons who will sympa thize with this point of view, and who believe that newspapers give far too much of their valuabre space to politicians and professional sports. To this the papers can reply that they do this only becausa of thy
element of news contained in the doings of these gentry. In themselves they may be persons of picayune Importance, but if the public is interested in their performances as a matter of news, the newspapers cannot easily avoid writing something about them. The moral to be drawn from this is that advertisers should as far as possible bring the news feature Into their announcements. This will insure their being read by the public, just as the moves of the politicians and the baseball players are. The paper which contains newsy features in every column, editorial and ?dvertising as well as those devoted to the events of the day, draws the deading public. In this respect no one medium can equal the daily newspapers.

Knotted Cords
Make Noisy Lines The cloth-covered cord which connects your, telephone instrument with the bell box and the cord running to the telephone receiver are each made up of a number of fine wires covered with light insulation. If these cords were not mr.de in this way they would not be flexible. They are necessarily delicate and easily put out of order by misuse. Subscribers are requested to avoid twisting and knotting the telephone cords as this wears through the insulation, break; the fine v vres and cuses shor circuits. The first effect is usually a scratching noise in the receiver and later the telephone is put out of service entirely.
