ALL’S QUIET! You’ve all heard or read that old expression, “all’s quiet on the western front,” and right here in Syracuse we have an atmosphere that is similar to the meaning that was intended by that old saying. Wih the beginning of school, here as in every other town in the country, the streets seem >to be much clearer and there 's less noise and din since the children are busy with their school work. We all have a feeling of peace when school starts, but we would give a good deal to have those kids creating a little excitement around town. It seems that during the summer there is always something happening, a couple of boys in a friendly scrap, a troupe of bicyclists threatening to run us oT the sidewalk if we don’t get out of their way, a “mother’s son” and a “father’s daughter” holding hands as they walk down the street, the mingled yells of enthusiasm and derision that accompany a ball game in some sandlot, or a thousand other events that go together to make every day one full and brimming over with life. Then we are truly happy! But when school starts we seem to be lost; there is something missing somewhere; we begin to realize that we must settle down and prepare for the coming cold weather and the hardships that become our lot. Yes! All’s quiet, but we would rather have a little more activity even if we do have to bear a little aggravation.

A $600,000 FOUNTAIN Among the many notable attractions which no visitor to Chicago should miss seeing is the Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park on the lake front, only a short distance from the main business district. This magnificent fountain, the largest and most beautiful in the world, was presented to the city by Miss Kate Buckingham as a memorial o her brother, Clarence, and was erected at a cost of $600,000, with an additional 300 thousand given as a trust fund for its maintenance. The main structure has a fountain pool 300 feet in diameter, and three basins, one above the other. From the top an immense column of water shoots to a height of 90 feet. Surrounding this are 133 smaller Jets, the whole discharging 5,500 gallons of water a minute. At night, alternating white, amber, rose, green and blue lights, with a total 30 million candle power illuminate the cascading water, the effect being one of indescribable beauty. (Since the fountain was- dedicated on August-26, 1927 V the unrivaled spectacle it presents has thrilled and fascinated Chicagoans and millions of visitors to the city—as it will thrill and fascinate many millions yet unborn. Mrs. Daisy Herbert of Barnegat, N. J., has operated milk and ice delivery wagons since her husband’s health failed 20 years ago.

| VITAL FACTS I Live Stock Marketing > O O “Refrigeration on Wheels” Shifted Meat Packing from Consuming to Producing Centers. In Colonial days, livestock was produced, slaughtered and consumed as a matter of course, all in the same limited area—on the Atlantic Coast. Following the Revolutionary War, however, the urge for more meat to feed the growing industrial East pushed livestock production westward farther and farther —until today the centers of cattle, hog and sheep production average well over 600 miles to the west of'the center of human populatioin , forcing livestock and its product to travel <a long distance to market. Such a wide separation could not have occurred, of course, without the simultaneous’development of adequate transportation facilities and the discovery of refrigeration (about 1857). It was refrigeration that developed “ice packing” or “summer packing”; comrpercial slaughter the year around; and storage for surplus supplies until needed. « It was, however, the invention of the refrigeration car ( about 1880) that revolutionized livestock production and meat packing hy making slaughter of livestock at points of production and shipment of meats intend of live animals to distant consuming centers. This was a boon to both producer and consumer. For the producer, it largely removed the necessity and hazard of shipping live animals hundreds of miles to distant markets of unknown price; for the consumer, it made fresh meat available evgry day in the year. Modern times have vastly improved this “ice box” method of transportation. Today, streamlined railroad service rushes Corn Belt meats to Eastern markets in less than four days, where is formerly required more than six days. Today, efficient refrigerator cars make the trip with but one, or even no re-icing enroute, where formerly it was necessary every day during transit. Today, too, as a result of this expedited transportation service via the refrigera tor car, western dressed meats, In the opinion of many epicureans, when delivered to the Eastern seaboard customer, are fresher and in finer condition than those of the local Eastern slaughterer of not so long ago. It is difficult to imagine what the status of the livestock and meat packing industry would be today without these gigantic "ice boxes on wheels”—approximately 160,000 of them—speedily transporting fresh meats and other perishable food products from farm to market. It was this vast development of “refrigeration on wheels” than enabled packing plants to locate themselves in the interior near their source of livestock supply. TRY JOURNAL WANT ADS

How Women in Their 40’s Can Attract Men Here’s good advice for a woman during her change (usually from 38 to 52), who fears she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells, upset nerves and moody spells. Just get more 4resh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you need a reliable “WOMAN’S” tonic take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made especially for women. It helps Nature build up physical resistance, thus helps give more vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming jittery nerves and those disturbing symptoms that often accompany change of life.

I FRED W. BRAUN 7 Why does man make it a rule to take off his hat when riding in a hotel elavator carrying a woman? Why will man always pause to let a lady go first when entering or leaving a building? Why, at social functions, will man spend the entire evening bobbing up and down like a jumping jack whenever a lady enters the room ? Why does man maintain a general policy of courtesy to all members of the fair sex? If you have that answer, then answer this one, too—just let a lady, any lady, get behind the wheel of a motor car and he thinks nothing of crowding her off the road or even sending her off to the hospital if she dares for a moment to question his possession of the right of way? If courtesy is the rule.Xlet’s remember that courtesy is also the' rule while driving. “I’ll kill that guy!” So spoke a friend of mine recently when a driver behind us persistently blew his horn at an intersection. How many times have you felt' the same way? About the most discourteous driving habit people have is to “blow others out of their way.” This is dangerous as well as discourteous. Frequently drivers become frantic in traffic which this is done, and I know of many ac-

cidents that were a direct result of such action. Public opinion should rise against this type of driver until he realizes that courtesy is the keynote of conduct on our high- ’ ways; “It’s smart to drive carefully.” Rudolph Turner, finding working out a fine on the streets a tough job because of the heat, asked the sheriff at Tell City, Ind., to lock him up, saying: “I’d rather lay out my fine.” Prisoners tearing down an old police station in Nashville were permitted to keep any articles found in the debris. One Negro found S2O in an old envelope, then paid the remaining $19.75 due on his fine, and gained his freedom.
