Early Peoples Knew of Possibilities of Iron The peoples of the Near East were among the earliest manufacturers of iron, according to Dr. J. Newton Friend In an address before the members of the Royal Institution, London. In 1300 B. C, the Hittites were using iron weapons in their numerous wars, and among the treasures Os early history preserved to posterity is a letter thought to have been addressed to Raineses II of Egypt from the Hittite king, saying that he la sending with the communication an Iron dagger. The Romans were skilled metallurgists with considerable knowledge of how to handle Iron ores. Virgil's Aeneld, written around 40 B. C.. contains an account of a smithy in full blast, and PHny in his “Natural History," which was brought out In 77 A. !>.. shows an equal familiarity with the working of the metal. An iron ring recently unearthed from a Roman site was evidently made by soldering together the ends of a bent strip of Iron with some sort of copper alloy. Cast iron, said lK>ctor Friend, was first known in Sussex in 183 b and soon became fairly common. Vanishing Heath Hen Was Farmer’s Friend The New England heath hen Is now In the last stages of extinction, the Louisville Courier-Journal reports. The farmer has found that he not only has lost a source of food for his table, but a protector of his crops. Like the western prairie chicken, to which it is closely allied, and the "Bob White" of the Central West, the heath hen is a great enemy of Insect pests. But of the thousands that once inhabited field and woods patch, less than 100 are alive today, and these are found only on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard. The Middle West lost a prolific food supply when the passenger pigeons died oft. But the wild pigeon was otherwise ofllttle economic value. It was largely a grain eater, though beech mast and weed seeds also formed its fqod. The heath hen. however, la as valuable as the quail to farmers. Ornithologists and conservationists have pointed this .out. Hence efforts are being made to save the bird from extinction and, If possible to bring it hack to its former numbers. Penny Not Worth While At Times square a matinee crowd waited for the long-distance busses. Other crowds pushed by tn a steady stream, yet above the truffle noises came the clink of a dropped coin. Those passing looked down, alert, curious, until a single penny whirled into sight, spun around and then flopped to the sidewalk. No one picked .It' up. It was tramped on, pushed and started roiling again. Many looked, but none stopped until a chubby little fellow, holding tight to his mother's hand, spied It , "Mother., mother!" he cried in excitement. “I see my penny! Stop—let me —let me pick it up .”’ “Come, come,” chided the mother. Impatiently, as she jerked him along. "It’s only 1 a penny. You’ll get your gloves dirty, dear.**—New York Times. . Workmanship ; The greatest quality in all Colonial work is dignity. In the houses of the rich and the houses of the poor there is apparent the same dignified scorn of ostentation and the same pride in honest building and honest living. Although it has been said that Colonial architecture is old-fashioned and belongs to a day that is past, this is no more true of Colonial design than of any other of the traditional styles. Furthermore. Colonial architecture seems out of date only because lie progress was stopped by the Greek revival and the eighteen eighties. If It had continued to grow and develop, how, much more lovely would our countryside be than It is now with its potpourri of all style#—including the Scandinavian! Mother’s Orders Ruth and Marjorie were spending the afternoon with their little friend. Jane. At five o'clock they Informed their hostess that they must be going. “My dears.” said Jane’s mother, “can’t you stay and have supper with us?" "No. thank yon." both replied. “Mother told us to come home at five." Hats and wraps were brought. As they were being put on. Jane's mother asked again: “Are you sure you must go before supper!" '. "Yes, thank you; we must go." replied Ruth. Marjorie seemed to have * different opinion, and said to her slater: “We don't have to go. Mother said we could stay to supper If she asked us twice."

WHY GOVERNMENT PRICE ii. FIXING WON’T WOR I > ’ One of the most persistent fallacie. j is government price-fixing on com . petitive commodities. There Is already government price-fixing In com- ' moditles and services where competit tlon plays no part In price determi- , nation. These are railway transpor- ! tation, electricity, gas, telephone and telegraph, and so on. Here government price-fixing Is solely to protect the consumer. There are two faul objections to government priee-fixing for agricultural products, which represent the most competitive business , In the world. These are, first, that it will not work; second, that it is al- | ways done for the consumer as | against the producer. | Government price-fixing for agricultural products would work if at the same time the government regulated wages, profits, middlemen's margins, the production of all commodities and The rationing ot all consumers. In [short, if the population were enlisted !in one vast army, directed and rationed, price-fixing would work, but ; otherwise not If the price is fixed on ! the wheat the farmer sells, then he cannot keep on producing wheat if wages or the cost of harvesting machinery rise, or If the cost of other material he buys rises. So the next step would be the fixation of other prices, and yet other prices. The United States government fixed the price of wheat but once in our history, and then It was to benefit consumers, not producers. The goveminent might, in an emergency, fix some agricultural prices for the purpose of elevating such prices. Such action would inevitably and speedily lead to outcry from city consumers and a consequent reversal of policy. Indeed, the consumers, not the producers, are most likely to demand and secure food price regulation by government authorities. The farmer, therefore, who favors any form of governmental price-fixing is working against his own interests.. He is putting his head into a noose.—James E, Boyle. Professor of Rural Economics, Cornell University, In the BankerFarmer. STRAIGHT TALKS WITHAUNT EMMY On Fifteen Per Cent Bonds Mrs. Norris beamed as she greeted Aunt Emmy and exclaimed, “Now I know all my financial worries are over! I wanted to tell you right away “What have you bought this time*" Aunt Emmy demanded suspiciously. “Well, I haven’t paid the money over yet, but I have found the loveliest investment where my money will be perfectly safe and will earn a nice income for me right away,” Mrs. Norris said. "I’m going to buy bonds, good safe bonds, that will pay me fifteen per cent interest —’’ “Wait a minute, you'll have to go some, Maud Norris, to tell me about ‘good safe bonds’ that pay fifteen per cent!” Aunt Emmy broke tn. "They are safe, —the man said so and this booklet says so too!" “Do you know what a bond to?’ asked Aunt Emmy. "No, but it’s awfully safe. I’m of that,” Mrs. Norris said. “Everybody knows that bonds are safe —” "My dear, some bonds are safe and some are not. When you buy a bond you simply lehd your money to the company putting out the bonds. Bond Issues are secured generally by tho company mortgaging or pledging some ot its property. In other words, it offers a certain ass at as security that it will return your money to you on the date the bond matures. It agrees to pay you a certain sum each year tor the use of your money, usually something between five and eight per cent No company can afford to pay, too much for its money—and as to fifteen per cent bonds—why it would be very unusual for a company to be able to earn enough to enable it to pay fifteen per cent for the privilege of using other people’s money.—moreover. .if it is good enough to borrow money at all It can borrow it more cheaply than that!" “Oh dear!" wail’d Mrs. Norris, "then a bond isn’t a good safe Investment —” “Don't jump at conclusions so fast!" said Aunt Emmy. “1 did not say that A bond is as safe as a church if the company that Issues it is financially sound, has a high credit rating* and is making money. Before you buy bonds assure yourself that the company behind them is above reproach." "But the man who told me about these fifteen per cent bonds was so earnest —I felt sure I could belters him." “Don’t turn over any money to him until you have some advice on the bonds from your bank." admonished Aunt Emmy. "Then. If you find out that the bonds are questionable you will escape another bad investment.” —A. B. Mason County, Michigan, bankers are pushing hard to replace scrub stock with pure bred cattle. The plan as outlined by the county agent is to purchase young pure-bred sires and piacw them wherever a farmer is found who Is willing to co-operate in the proposition. The bankers will ad .-ance the purchase price and take a note for one year without interest rhe idea is to make it as easy as possible for the farmers to procure thoroughbred*. o r- **"•’■*- Tragic Case The street was thronged with thousands of hurrying pedestrians. Suddenly a woman’s cry rose shrilly above the noise of the passing throngs. ‘Give me air," she shrieked. The crowds gasped and stood aside —and a woman triumphantly drove her car, with one fiat tire, into the filling station.—University ot Washington Columns.

THE SYRACUSE JOURJTAE

Spirit Superior to Infirmities of Age The late Senator Page of Vermont once said at a banquet In Montpelier during his governorship: ( “For pluck give me your Vermont farmer every time. Old Jerome Me Wade, though seventy-three, was bale and hearty, and one day when his two sons got to bragging about their strength Jerome swore he could load hay as fast as they could pitch it. “So down to the fields they went, and Jerome got in a hay wagon with his fork, and the two boys begun to pitch the hay up to him fast and furious. 1 "Jerome worked like a demon, and *ll the time he kept calling down in • Jeering way. ‘More Hay! More hay!’ i "But after a time, of course, his years began to tell on him. His loading got very untidy. The sun felt hotter and hotter on his back. Still, as he staggered about, he kept yelling. ‘More hay! More hay!’ Then, all of a sudden, he tripped and fell out of the wagon. "As he picked himself up, very spry, from off the ground, one of the boys gave a laugh and said: i " 'What do you want down here, pap* “‘What do I want?’ Jeered Jerome. *Why, hay, more hay.’" Samoans Still Fear ■ Old Spirits of Evil Th/ Samoan’s love for ceremony, •-especially dignified ceremony, ami for singing, has helped much in making him a church member and regular service attendant. But even with his acceptance of Christianity he still, in many cases, keeps a weather* eye open for the ancient altu (devil) that had the fear and respect of his ancestors. The altu may be a back number, but you never can tell says the Dearborn Independent. I There was the young fellow, for instance, who showed his irreverence a couple of years ago by walking across an old chief's grave. His family and . every one else warned him about the j altu, did they not? Still he walked on I the grave. A few days later he had a 1 bad cold. Shortly after he was dead. | Quick tuberculosis. j How much better it is for a Christian or any one to respect ancient | things and thus not arouse the wrath of the altu on guard! So the Samoan ■ gives the altu a tflde berth, hoping his | slumbers among the holy places he I guards will be undisturbed so long that they will become permanent. I » • . Royal Stubbornness George 111 disliked Franklin’s political opinions and was anxious to discredit his scientific discoveries as well, says John o’ London’s Weekly. He, therefore, ordered the lightning conductors on Kew palace to have blunt Instead of pointed ends. /When he asked Sir John Pringle, then president of the Royal society, what he thought of the change. Sir John Pringle told -him plainly that “the laws of nature are not changeable at the royal pleasure.” This annoyed his majesty so muAi that he suggested Sir John had better resign his presidency of the / royJl society. He did so, and the I breach between them was never Ahealed. Sides were taken over the /quarrel, the court naturally supporting the king, while the wits sympathised with Sir John. Uses for Gyroscope When first invented, the gyroscope, then called rotascope, was used as a scientific toy to Illustrate the dynamics of rotating bodies, the .composition of rotations, etc. A delicately mounted form of the above apparatus. Invented by M. Foucaalt, Is used to render visible the rotation of the earth on account of the tendency of the rotating wheel to preserve a constant plane of rotation. Independently of the earth’s motion. This same i principle is made use of in an Instrument invented by Dr. H. Auschutxi Kampfe. designed to replace the*marIner’s compass or to serve as a check upon its accuracy. Other uses of the gyroscope are as a steering apparatus, and as a balancing device in certain flying machines, and in a proposed type of monorailway. Making Sure A certain financier is a great believer iii punctuality, and on a recent occasion, when an early conference was in prospect, which he had to coma to town to attend, he so impressed a page boy with the importance of calling him early that the lad decided desperate measures were needed. Hence, at an unearthly hour there came a prodigious hammering on the financier's bedroom door and a voice called loudly: “Parcel for you, sir!" Wondering what the parcel could be, the financier took it in and, seated on the edge of his bed. unwrapped 1L Imagine his indignation upon reading the neatly printed placard it contained: “Nearly time to get up."

STRAIGHT TALKS WITH AUNT EMMY ON HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS “Aunt Emmy," asked Helen, “won’t you explain what to meant by a household budget? You said something the other day about budget*, but I don’t seem clear in my mind about it? "A budget to simply a plan." said Aunt Emmy. “You plan what you are going to do with your income. You divide your Income systematically so that you can meet your needs. You lay aside a part of your Income for rent, other parts for food, clothing, heat, light, telephone, recreation, savings anq bo on.” i "How are you going to know how much you should spend for each thing ' —on rent for Instance, Aunty F’ asked Helen. I “Experts have studied the question carefully and have worked out budgets to suit every income. Os course, you can alter these typical budgets slightly to suit your particular needs. For example, the average budget that i covers incomes of from $2,000 to $lO,000 a year divides your income into alx parts. Ten per cent for savings, twenty per cent for rent, twenty per cent for food, twenty per cent sos what is called betterment and includes education, amusement, entertainment. books, music, sports; fifteen per cent for clothes and fifteen per cent for operating expenses. "No matter how you change the other items you must not change the savings allowance —except to increase it. A great majority of men who reach sixty are dependent on relatives or charity. If they had saved only ten cents out of every dollar, they would not have been in that plight. There is nothing like money in the savings bank to help you through tb* ( emergencies that come in everybody’s j Hfe. If everybody kept one year’s ln- ( come In the savings bank, much misery would be averted. If you always, have enough money to see you* through one year, you are pretty, safe. Beyond that, it is wise to let your money accumulate until you _ have enough to buy some good securities. Your banker will advise you about the securities that suit your needs.” "But. Aunt Emmy, suppose you wanted to alter your budget?" inquired Helen. "How would you know how to do it? A young married ceuple might start on a certain budget and then, when they had children to feed and educate, they might want to change it” "Well, my dear, if they were in doubt about their financial affairs, they could always consult their banker. That is why it is so good to establish friendly relations with a bank, when you start out in life. Any banker will be glad to advise young people about making their money go farther.” —A. B. Aymet.
