- MANY COMPLAINTS MADE Claim Road Contractors Violate Law In Failing to Erect Detour signs . on Highways

Many complaints have been registered with the main office and tho various branch offices ‘'of the FHcosier State Automobile Associatiou - eon cerning lax methods or lack of method employed by some of the contractors and road officials in indicating detours around closed roads. . “Nothing is quite so much of an annoyance to the automobile traveler. as to run up against a barricade and be left to figure out his own best .way of getting around a piece of road. that is under construction or a bridge that is blocked,” declares M. E. Noblet, manager of the Hoosier State Association. “It was for this reason that our organization preparei and urged the enactment ‘of the law covering detour signs (Acts of 1921 page 190.) It was considered that this law .would be a big step forward. If this law is closely observed or observed in spirit the results are excellent but when. it is ignored so frequently and so. thor‘oughly as to become almost @ general ‘habit, it seems to us it is high. time }the citizens of the various.communities should see to it that their officials are more observant of the law governing' detours. We just want to point out now that the road officials and contractors are responsible for seeing that the proper detour barriers and direction signs are put up and ‘that these directions are placed entirely around the detour reading in both directions. A fine of from $lO to $5O is stipulated for failure or refusal to comply with this law, and each day constitutes a: separate offense. Failure to install and maintain: a red light on a barricade is punishable in the same manner.” -

It is alleged that }the‘ corporations are favored and the people get the worst of it, consequently there is a movement to/abolish the ‘the board and return control to municipalities.

e e Sy TPy~ ot~ el . REAL POETS ARE PROPHE'E;‘S They Participate In the Eternal, the Infinite and the One, : "%ays Shelley. - 7 Every original language near to its source is In itself the chaos of a cyclic poem ; the coplousness of lexicography and the distinctions of grammar are the works of a later age, and gre merely the catalogue and the form of the creations of poetry. But poets, or those who imagine ahd express this indestructible order, are not only the authors of language ahd of music, of the dance, and architecture, and statuary, and painting; they are the institutors of laws, ahd the founders of clvil society, and the inventors of the arts of life, and the teachers, who draw into a certain propinquity with the beautiful and the true, that partial apprehension of the agencies of the invisible world which is called religion. . . . Not that I &s--sert poets to be prophets in thé gross sense of the world, or that they éan foretell the form as surely as they foreknow the spirit of events; stdch Is the pretense of superstition, which would make poetry an attribute .of prophecy rather than prophecy an attribute of poetry. A poet participates In the eternal, the infinite, and the one; as far as relates to his ‘conceptions, time and place and number &re not. The grammatical forms which express the moods of time, and the difference of persons, and the distinctlon of place, are convertible.with re--spect. to the highest poetry without injuring it as poetry; and the choruses of Aeschylus, and the Book of Job, And Dante’s Paradise, would afford, more than any other writings, examples of this fact.—Shelley. :

HOW PYGMIES GET BANANAS

Mark Green Bunch With Arrows, Take it When Ripe and Leave. .~ Meat in Payment. .

The pygmies in Central Africa take up their abode near the village Of a big chief where banana plantations abound, from which they may gglean when they please. They have two methods of doing this. One is as follows: : ‘

A pigmy will mark out a bunch of bananas in a plantation by shooting an arrow into the stalk. The arrow signifies that the pygmy desires that particular bunch when it is sufficiently ripe. The owner of the plantation stands In such fear of the pygmy’s vengeance that he never dreams of removing the fruit or the .arrow, but leaves both to be claimed by the aweinspiring dwarf. , | By the other method, the pygmy buys the bananas, he fixing the price and paying for it in that which his fiat makes currency. On returning home from g day’s hunting, with several pieces of meat wrapped in grass or leaves, he goes to a plantation, selects several bunches of bananas, shins up the tree, cuts off the bunches, and in payment, affixes one of the small packets of meat to the stem by a wooden skewer. He has neot, in his view, stolen the bananas—he has bought them! : :

Wheré Every Bride Is Measured.

The ‘“measuring of the bride” follows every marriage ceremony per formed. in the English town of Royden. The reason is that about three hundred years ago the lord of the manor bequeathed the sum of $5,000, the interest from which was to be voted annually to provide dowrles for four brides. Under the térms of the bequest, the money has to be divided among. the youngest, the “eldest, the shortest and the tallest brides married during the course of each year in the parish church. The official records determine who are the youngest and the eldest, but to decide the shortest and tallest, each bride is required to remove her shoes and let down her hair and be measured by the officiating minister.

Legend of Wandering Jew. The 'wandering jew was a legendary personage condemned to wander upon the earth until the second coming of Christ, for reviling the Savior while on his way to Calvary. Some say he was a porter in the service of Pontius Pilate, named Cartaphilus; but others identify-him with Ahasuerus, & cobbler on whose doorstep Christ attempted to rest. when overcome with the weight of the cross. Tradition has it that Ahasuerus drove the Savior frem his door with curses, whereupon Jesus’ calmly replied: “I truly am going; but thou shalt wander over the earth until I return.” Southey's “Curse of Kehama,” Croly’s “Salathiel,” and the Sue’s “Le Juif Errant” make use of this legend, although not in its original form.—Kansas City Star. i

SAW WITH PROPHETIC VISION Toronto Man’s Remarkable Predlc“tlon of Wireless Telephony Made ° S Many Years Ago. - - A remarkable imaginative prediction of wireless telephony was made by Grant Balfour (J. M. Grant) of Toronto in a triologune which appeared in an English magazine in 1889, and was afterward reproduced in a pamphlet entitled “Bahrak-Kohl,” two Hebrew words, meaning the voice of the lightning. The characters of this little treatise were represented as in the neighborhood of the Jordan. “The prophet now took from his girdle,” says the narrative, “a small instrument resembling a trumpet for the deaf. Coming down to Mohammed, he asked him to turn his right side toward the southland, to™ut the broad end of the instrument t 0 his right ear. The prophet then inquired where his home was., <

“‘My home,’ replied Mohammed; “is in the extreme south of Arabia, 1,400 miles away.’ o q : ' <Listen now,” sald the prophet; ‘dost thou hear the sound of waves? “l do,” replied the sheik. ‘Where may they be? ; - :

“ ‘These waves,’ answered the prophet, ‘are the waves of the Indian ocean breaking upon the Arabian shore.’ ” e

Further describing the instrument, the prophet said: “The thing before thee is but a rude pattern in part of the coming needed device of man. No such device is required by a prophet of the Lord to entrust the lightning with a message. The prophet speaks, nay, he needs but to will, and it is done.”—Toronto Globe. :

HAS BIG LEAD IN VOLCANOES

United States Can “Boast” of More Than a Quarter of Those ; Known to Be Active.

- Uncle Sam owns more than a quarter of the active volcamees of the world, the report that two more have been born in Alaska making the grand total 106. .

There are 64 smoking peaks In Alaska and the Aleutian islands and many more in western United States, Hawali and the Philippines. At is likely, however, if many of the socalled vents of the Mount Katmai region of Alaska would be classed as volcanoes this country could boast of the majority of the old earth’s skin troubles—an unenviable record.. There are 417 active volcanoes on the globe that have been located to date. .. : i

There are numerous peaks in the Philippine islands not sufficiently -well known to establish whether they are volcanoes or smoke pots or vents. In Alaska there are hundreds of vents from which constantly issue steam and smoke, but which are not called vol-

An occasional volcano bursts forth from the sea near the Aleutian islands, but finally succumbs to the flood of sea water.

Work in Madagascar Compulsory.

~_All idle persons in Madagascar must work or pay a tax for the privilege of living an unproductive life. As the end -of the war released thousands of native troops, the colonial government has decided that something must be done to check idleness, especially as there is plenty of work for all comers. A decree just published insists that every Buropean sound of limb must work at least 250 days a year up to the age of fifty, but natives are not ‘compelled to work more than 180 days. Of course, anyone with a private fortune can be exempted, but that will cost 25 francs per diem /for leisure. All “olsif” taxes will be used to buy agricultural machinery and tools for the development of the island’s resources. The aged and crippled will recelve a small salary to seek out evaders of the new regulation. *“Oisifs” are the equivalent in French for “lounge lizards.” , 4

: Too Badl Too Bad! This is the story told by a New Orleans gentleman attending the foreign trade convention: A steamship arriving from a':French port had an enterprising officer who saw a fine opportunity to profit through the dry condition of the United States. He put in a large stock of liquor, and when the vessel arrived in New Orleans had mno trouble in getting in touch with purchasers. They agreed to pay on delivery. - The price was $3,000, The liquor was passed over the ship’s side in the middle of the night on to a small vessel alongside and the $3,000 given to the officer. The next day the seller went to the bank to buy French exchanges. A few minutes later he was doing two things at ome time—tearing his hair and swearing like a trooper. His $3,000 was Confederate money.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
