TOO 810 “Give me a large rat trap in a hurry,” said the breathless lady to the man in the hardware store, “I want to catch the next car.” “I’m sorry,” replied the young man, “but we haven’t any large enough to catch a street car.” o — ■ According to the National Bureau of Economic Research the total income of the American people is 90 thousand millions annually —an increase of 43 per cent over the 1920 estimate and double that of 1900.

ROMANCE AND WAR Behind the, lines of Abd-el Krim, desert and mountain warfare, and the life of a nomadic people, fanatical in their religion and equally fanatical followers of their warrior chief, the experiences of a delicately reared English girl suddenly transported to such an environment English,-German and Portuguese soldiers of fortune who have attached themselves to the Riffian leader. Thrilling episodes and the love story 'which grew out of the English girl’s peril.

NO SMOKESTACKS One of the things which formerly occupied the attention ,of the civic clubs of many citiesl and was an especial care for the women’s clubs was the elimina-; tion of smoking factory chimneys. Fortunes were made by j smoke consuming furnaces. I This bids fair to be a thing of. the past before many years. In i Cincinnati several factories have • been constructed without smoke-. stacks. In Anderson, Ind., the largest factory, and one that employs several thousand persons, has no smokestacks. Electricity is the answer. Gas, also, in manv places comes in for its j share of the credit for eliminating smoke. It was once a problem for the exgineers to try to eliminate the waste w’hich was represented by the smoke that poured from the factory chimneys. Industry was represented by factories crown-: ed by a great wreath of smoke. There was little thought given to the great waste w’hich was represented. Progress has changed it. however, and the future will doubtless see no smokestacks in all the land.
