FEMININE USE OF PROFANITY

Census Taken at Girls’ Seminary Can- ~ not Be Taken as Positive ‘ of Iniquity.” _

It has long been the fashion at colleges and schools to take a census of graduating classes to determine such vital facts as these: o What is your favorite flower? How tall are you? Do you smoke? Are you a prohibitionist? - ' At a girl’s seminary a recent inquiry was more sweeping. To the interrogation, “Do you swear?’ 200 of the 215 girls answered yes. ; : . But admitting that they swear “is not proof that these feminine lips do utter oaths. So at least says the law in New York state, writes “Griant” in the Philadelphia Press. :

““Four or five people must hear you swear, not a second or two, but for about five minutes—that's the law in North Carolina. - “Down in Alabama they don’t expect a 8 man to swear from the housetops, but the law says that if three or four persons hear you just once, goodnight! ~ L “In Tennessee it is not necessary to repeat the offensive words when a culprit is indicted for swearing. : “I saw on the veranda of a country club 17 women, of whom 12 were drinking an intoxicating liquor and seven were smokiug cigarettes. ~ “But If that census at the girls’ seminary is an index, more women swear than dally with John Barleycorn or Lady Nicotine” -

NO TIME LIMIT FOR VATICAN

Its Statesmen Seemindly Take Little Thought for the Inevitable Pass- ; ing of the Years,

~ Time is not measured by the Vatican according to our accepted forms. While we think in days usually, in months .not always, in years very seldom, and in generations mearly never, the Vatican thinks in centuries or dinarily, in generations fairly often, in years only under the pressure of unusual circumstances, in shorter periods never. i It is this difference in the measurement of time which makes the Vatican such a .difficult subject for the secular political investigator. There is no time limit, in the usually accepted sense, for the Vatican’s politfcal thought. At least it is not limited by a lifetime. e ‘The cardinal who at the time of writing is at the head ‘of the Vatican’s foreign office—segreteria di ‘Stato—is a very old man, who for 30 years has been connected with political affairs. But he continues to look ahead into the centuries. :

He, I beiieve, is the only statesman in Europe who ‘can and who does coolly discuss the possibility of Russian Bolshevism, under some form or another, enduring for 50 years yet. What are 50 years for the Vatican? Imagine any other European statesman, anxious for the success of hig butterfily career, talking in this cool way about Moscow.—Vladimir Poliakoff in the London Daily Telegraph.

“DEAD LETTER” MAIL HEAVY

Few Realize How Much Correspondence Can Never Be Carried to - 'lts Proper Destination. You may take pride in your little 20 by 100-foot lot. It may have looked pretty big to you when you laid out your hard cash for it. s Just imagine that lot is covered with letters, not the unfolded letters, but just as they are dropped Ain the mail box. That would look like a lot of mail, wouldn’t it? ‘ Now, double the size of the lot, cover it up with letters, placed so closely together that not as much as one spear of grass could show between. XKeep the process up, in your mind, of course, until you have covered 1,979 such lots, or the whole of a fair-sized. town with letters. There would then be so ;088,333 square feet entirel red by mail. Imagine that on every single piece of this mail there is a mistake of some sort in the address. ' ~ By this time you will begin to get some idea of the volume of business done by Uncle Sam’s dead letter office. The amounts given are not for the history of the Service, however. They are for only one year, the last fiscal year. During the 12 months there were 19,000,000 letters returned to the dead-letter office through carelessness in addresses.

- Gold Found in Wales. ~ A discovery of gold has been made on a farm at Cessailown Bach, Bontddu, near Barmouth, Marionethshire, where mining operations had been carried out for several weeks. The site of this new discovery is midway between the famous Clogau gold mines dnd Gwynfyndd gold mines, which supplied Princess Mary’s wedding ring. For half a centhry land in the neighborhood of Bontddu has raised hopes of rich finds whieh have largely disappointed. So certain at one time did it appear that gold in paying quantities was to be found in North Wales that long and costly litigation ensued as to the ownership of land to which previously nobody had troubled to establish a claim.

Spectacles for Horses. It appears that among the many unique inventions of a more or less practical nature there are spectacles for horses. The purpose is said to be not to improve the sight, but, by causing the ground in front to appear nhearer than it really is, to induce the horse to take high steps. After a training with such Spectacles, it is averred, the horse.acquires and rétains the habit of high Stepping. These spectacles, it is said, are largely used in England by lovers of horses of the thoroughbred type.—Washington Star.

~ Water Power in New York. New York state leads the country in the amount of its developed water power with 1,300,000 horsepower. California comes next with 1,111,100 horsepower. These figures place New York State almost on an equality with the most progressive countries in. water power development in' Europe, where France leads with 1,400,000 horsepower, Norway has -1,850,000 horsepower and Sweden 1,200,000 horsepower.

COULDN'T REALLY BLAME BOY Worker Around Car Had Forgotten the Somewhat Unusual Appearance 'He Presented to the World, ‘ Out Sikteenth street is one of those massive piles of stone, Dbricks, ete., that they call apartment houses, in which lives a former army officer who spends his Sunday mornings in fussing around his car. Owing to the fact that he is busy every day during the week, he finds no other time in which to gratify this (to him) recreation. Last Sunday morning he arose before the attaches of the hotel, that is, the day force, had arrived; he donned a pair of overalls and placed on his head a disreputable old green cap, and with monkey wrench and oil can he started for the rear of the hotel, where stood his machine. After fussing with the automobile for two or three hours he returned to the apartment house bedaubed with oil and grease. He did not present his usuel Immaculate appearance; he started to enter the elevator; the boy in charge of the lift held up his hand and emphatically remarked that the freight elévator was at the other side. The guest was nonplussed for a moment; finally lie caught the humor of the situation and spoke to the elevator boy, who, seeing his mistake, apologized thusly: “Deed, sir,| I crave your humble pardon. I didn't recognize you in those most unusual clothes for you to wear.”—Washington Star.

SHRIMP’S EARS IN HIS LEGS Here’s How One May Tell Difference . Between Him and His Cousin, the Prawn. Are shrimps insects? The question is often asked by those who see these active little creatures alive for the first time. s

Insects have six legs, but the shrimp has no fewer than 24. He is a crustacean—first cousin of the crab, the lobster and the crayfish. Many of the “shrimps” that one Sees in shops are prawns. You can tell one from the other by looking at the head, says the Detroit News. The prawn has a long sharp-pointed horn edged with teeth like those of a saw. Prawns turn pink wghen they are boiled, but shrimps become brown in color. . ’ : ;

The eyes of a shrimp. are easy to see since they stand out on stalks, but you might search for some time if you wish to discover his ears, for he keeps them in a very odd place. His ears are in his knees. At the first joint of his first pair of legs, which by the way, are not used for walkihg, is a little bag which contains a minute drop of water, and this wa-ter-filled bag acts as an'eardrum..

i Relics of Spanigh Ship. Recent finds by the treasure-seekers at Tobermory, Scotland, include a muzzle-loading iron gun, four and a half feet in length, and having a bore of two agd a half inches, several broken sword scabbards, and a large salver, possibly silver, which has been taken to experts in London for assay. In addition, there were brought up almost daily during the past fortnight stout timbers of the old Spanish Armada ship in an excellent state of preservation. These finds have been added to by the recovery of a bronze cannon, four and a half feet long, apparently of the same caliber. On.the iron gun among other marks were the royal ' monogram of the king and queen of Spain, “P. and 1.” (Philippus and Isabella), whose joint reign lasted from 1559 to 1570. : £ J

Liquid Air to Crack Hard Nuts, The chicha nuts from South Amer ica have some excellent qualities, but it has never been found possible to crack the shells without damaging the meat at the same time. United States government authorities applied liquid air to the problem. They did not freeze solid a piece of rubber and use it as a hammer, as is done in .the classic experiment in physics, but they simply immersed the nuts in liquid air for 30 seconds and cracked them easily without damage to the kernels. Now the physicists are. trying to find out whether this method can be applied commercially on a large scale. Chicha nuts were used during the war to make charcoal for gas masks and the oil from the kernels is a valuable food similar to copra. _

MADE FOR HUMAN PROGRESS Three of the All-Important Things That . Concerned the Welfare of the : :' ;J RlC‘- ; . Thinking over the progress that the human race has made during the ages, we have come to the conclusion that it is all founded on the discovery of three.things, namely, fire, the sail and the wheel. S Maybe it doesn’t matter at all about this, but it is a pleasant mental: recreation to think back on how things started. R o 9 When that far-away ancestor of ours was sitting, millions of years ago, In the dusk’of an evening rattling two sticks together to keep time to a Song he bad made, and sparks of flame suddenly leaped from the sticks in his hands, and fire was discovered, you would better believe that something was started then. Take fire away| from us now, and what could we do about anything? = £ Ar another time, certainly ma};y thousands of year ago, when thdt old Phoenician who was paddling along on a log on a river or a quiet estuary of the sea, stuck his wolf skin shirt on a stick in ‘the log and found that then the wind carried him along witifhui any paddling whatever, something was started then, too. S ) And whoever it was, and whenever it was, that some:old Roman or other kind of blunderer, hewed off the end of a log,; punched a hole in the middle of it, and found out that he had a wheel, something else again was started. : : S i

And upon these three things—fire, the sail and the wheel—it seems to us that we have builded about everything in the way of progress that we can boast of today. ( :

‘The Hon. V. S. Srinivasa Sastrl, an Indian officlal, gives this testimony: “You have done me the honor to ask me to state what I think of the work of the Y. M. C. A. in India. It is beyond praise. Ido not pretend to know all abeut it, but what I have seen of it fills me with admiration and gratitude. The association neglects no promising field of service. The magnitude and many-sidedness of its operations are & wonder to me, and I have sometimes felt the nonofiicial organizations in India would gain in persistence and boldness of conception by a study of the aims, methods and ideals of the great movement known throughout the world by the letters ‘Y.
