Cross-Word Puzzles Boon to Goif Widow It already has been suggested that cross-word puzzles are the almost providential and overdue instruments of vengeance ready to the hands of wives who have long suffered from golfing husbands. The fact that a ‘wife is daily getting bogey for the solution of puzzles in the newspaper points the moral further. The golf widow can now be tied with the crossword puzzle widower. ' Evening conversations in the home should begin (0 have two sides and should run somewhat as follows: “Sorry to be late for dinner, dear. Had to get in 18 holes.” “You’re not late. Dinner’s not ready yet. Had to fill in the last 18 squares in my puzzle.” “Well, that’s all right. I had a great game. Made bogey on two holes. Say, do you realize what bogey is on the fourth?” - ‘ “Eleven, isn’t it?” “What! Eleven strokes?” 2 “No, silly. Eleven minutes for the fourth puzzle.” . -“l'm talking about golf.” “But let me tell you about the third puzzle I worked on today. It has the Sweetest interlock!” “Shush! On the fourteenth I had Jeff one down and—" v ’ “Two across. Now it's time you're listening to me after all these years of golf monologue. Lend an ear. On the sixteenth square across 1 was, as you might say, in a trap to think of a word of five letters meaning a Tyrolean outery. What do you know? It was ‘yodel’ After that I foozled a personal pronoun and got lost in the rough of the lower left-hand’ corner. Well, I got out of trouble, but it cost me three minutes.”

“What a lot of drivel! You ought to have seen me today after I'd sliced—" “—sharpened it and addressed the—""" Sl “—with the deuce of a pretty niblick I—" - “—guessed the word was ‘orthogonal’—" ¢ “—after which I sunk a long—" “—key word. One minute to play” —“Blah!” B ' “Blah pourself!” (A tribute of half an hour's silence.) “Well, my dear, what’s the latest dirt on the neighbors?” “It’s quite interesting, dear. I'll be glad to tell you. But first tell me what the boss said down at the office today.”—Fairfax Downey, in New York Herald-Tribune. ;

Giant Salt-Cellar

The Palestine government proposes to erect a plant for the recovery of 30 odd billion tons of salt from the Dead sea—a giant salt-cellar of apparently unlimited capacity—and very . soon huge chemical factories and warehouses will be established round the lake, and the peace and quiet of centuries will give place to the ceaseless whir of wheels. It is rgﬁnarkable that one of the most desolate spots in the world should suddenly acquire such tremendous economic importance. Of all the billion tons of salt in the Dead sea, only about ten tons is common salt. The remainder consists of salts of potassium and magnesium, an abundance of which will make Palestine the richest potash country in the world. ~ In appearance this strange sea challenges the Mediterranean with its clarity and blueness, but so deathly still are its waters that they have earned it its grewsome name,

PERSIANS LOOK WITH DISFAVCOR ON THEFT Dishonesty Severely Punished ' in the East. Extreme Lonesty is a racial trait peculiar to the Persian people, according to Svend Langmack, representative of a trading corporation of London, who has made many trips to Persia and kuows the interior of the country well. “As there are no railroads in Persia,” said Mr, Langmack, “all transportation is made by caravan, camels being used in place of freight cars. Though we send both goods and money far into the interior of Persia by strangers whom, we do not know and never see, we never lose anything. : “No doubt their mode of punishment for theft has something to do with it. Theft is considered a very serious offense und the punishment is severe. A person caught stealing or a person con--victed of theft in Persia is sentenced to have his hand cut off. Moreover, the thief must tell which hand it was that clutched the stolen article. The offending hand is the one of which he is bereft. It is an gctual fact that theft is almost unknown in Persia. Probably most would-be thieves, in view of the punishment, think the game isn't worth it, ‘ ’ “For minor crilnes—that is, those falling below theft—the punishment is the bastinado. Bastinado is an .extremely old form of punishment, and consists of beating the soles of the offender’'s feet with sticks. : : “For capital offense—murder—the murderer's head is cut off. So the criminal code of Persia begins with the feet and ends with the head. T -"Persia is givided into provinces, and over each of these provinces is a governor appointed by the shah. For the privilege of being governor, the head of each province must pay a certain amount to the shah every year. This dmount he extorts from the people by taxation, direct demand, or by any old means he finds expedient. Consequently, Persia’s development is hardly beyond the feudal state. In fact, they do live under a system of feudalism,

“There are a few schools maintained for persons of high rank, where they are taught reading and writing and the Koran, but the more cultured and progressive of the Persian people send their sons to the foreign universities. In all of Persia, there is just one schiool for girls. “

© “But if ever Persia is able to build her own railroads, I believe that the added prosperity of the country will enable her to reach out for cultured betterment, for the Persians are_ an extremely trustworthy and mentally brilliant peuzﬁe.”—-i’ennsylvania. Register.

Father Is Now Satisfied

A certain eastern young woman who came to Indianapolis as a bride a couple of years ago, had hard work convincing her® New lingland father that Indiana produced anything in the way of corn equal to the home variety. Periodically, 4 big sack of corn meal has come as a gift to the new home, in spite of repeated assurances from daughter that the Central West is in the corn belt. This summer father made his first visit to the Hoosier homestead. “Daughter,” he said, solemnly, when he alighted from the train, “I've seen enough corn to feed the world.” Daughter feels convinced that any further contributions from her old home will not be in the form of corn meal.—lndianapolis News.

British Doctors Mdy Write

Within the membership of the British Medical association there is a movement under way to unfetter the members so that they may write popular articles without being in danger of "ethical violations. In the United States doctors have long been allowed to write without impairing their professional standing. The new disclosures in cancer research are partly responsible for the movement, as some eminent authorities apparently think they have something worth telling to the public by way of the printed word.

Spain 75 Per Cent Jewish

It was 432 years in July since the Jews were expelled from Spain, but Ibanez, the famous Spanish novelist, says that Spain is now three-quarters Jewish. Ferdinand and Isabella signed the decree that expelled the Jews, but leading writers in commenting upon the anniversary say that 90 per cent of the Spanish population are distinctly Semitic in appearance. The military ‘orders, in accepting candidates, demand that they show eight generations of pure Spanish stock. = - ;

S. O. S. Sent by Machine

That the radio operator of a ship may have a chance for his life with the rest of the crew .if the vessel should sink, a new 8. O. S. sending device has been invented to give automatically the ship’s call sign, the latitude and longitude, and the distress signal. After the machine has started it will continue sending out the call until the ship sinks, according to the inventor, M. Passaquin, a young. French engineer’—Popular Science Monthly. . : '

Odd Freak of Nature

A freak kitten was born, and shortly afterward killed by its mother at Victoria Barracks, Belfast, Ireland. Two legs were growing out of the middle of the Kkitten’s back, and at this point its body was split in halves. There were two perféc.t hind-quarters, complete with legs and tails, so that this freak of nature had eight legs, two tails, and one head. R : ' 4 Death S. L. Outland. 8. L.

October of Other Days. David M. Best of Elkhart formerly of Nappanee, keeps a daily record of the weather and in a statement to the Elkhart Truth says : : “No such gloomy Octcber has occurred in thig vicinity since I began keeping my daily chronicle. My record shows that almost uniformly pleasant weather has been the rule. However, October -10 and 11, 1906, afforded a brief deviation. It began snowing on the tenth snowed all day and on: the morning of the eleventh the ground was covered with snow and the mercury was down to 25 degrees above zero.
