In nature and In human affairs no flood ever conies from drizzles. In these latitudes, rising temperature usually precedes falling weather. “If “Flaming Youth” were fired with ambition to work—that would be news. It is high merit when a man leaves the language the better for bis use of it No one ever had the temerity to call an editorial writer a back seat driver. It must be wonderful to be so rich you aren’t ashamed to ask for something cheaper. A man may be down, but his case Isn’t hopeless so long as he can find somebody to scorn. One trouble with this country Is that too many Mary Janes have become Marie Janets. Don’t feel alarmed because your boy thinks he is smarter than bis dad. He m^y be right. There are stockings on the market that are almost as thin as what they are supposed to adorn. A Wisconsin court has just decided that a man is head of his family, but the man still has to prove it If in their teens they think parents an affliction instead of a convenience, they still are pretty good kids. Men who “point to prosperity" give ns new courage, but of infinitely more value are those who lead us there. Many a middle-aged person could quit taking bicarbonate of soda, if be would take a little exercise instead. When it says a certain labor-saving device will do the work of 30 men, the Cynic always wonder which men. Any watcher of the financial skies can pick gilt-edge stocks at the zenith; the trick is to see them at the horizon. Another reason for higher education is that business does not develop all the kinds of thinking it requires. And another thing: Who introduces these “companionate couples” in case they happen to meet later on at a party? Another magic gift from modern chemistry would be a free-flowing ink to dry instantly on the paper but never on the pen. The difference between classical dancing and ordinary chorus dancing is that the classical dancer looks nude instead of naked. More and more people agree that young people are no woree than they were a generation or more ago; and maybe many parents aren’t either. Clothes have suddenly returned to the choruses of our musical shows and the girls know exactly how the Hottentot feels when the barrel of flannels arrive. A schoolhouse in Berlin Is being built with glass walls, and the supreme test of personality will be holding the class while the book and ladder goes by. Excavations in France prove that human beings possessed an alphabet 10,000 years ago. That is where those two and three-letter cross-word puzzle words originated. Above the Arctic circle an explorer fiSund places where fish hooks were used for money. This adds considerable zest to the race between Eskimos to see who will pay the restaurant check. As long as barbers have become chirotonsors, and undertakers morticians, „it was bound to happen: Truant officers in Cincinnati are to be known henceforth as officers of child accounting. While the felljw who ate the first oyster was unquestionably a dauntless soul, we see in a household col- i limn where somebody has found that unpopped pop corn may be ground up and eaten for breakfast. The radio commission is now allocating "channels.” Hereafter what we suppose is static will be stations hitting the channel bars.

Chicago.—Radio, once known as “wireles^’ underwent a process ot eliminatioh before the present radin tion system was adopted. This meth od was preceded by two others, in which attempts qt sending without wires were made by conduction and induction. The conduction system was discov ered by Professor Steinheil, a German Inventor, in 1838. He stumbled upon it when experimenting with steel rails in an endeavor to substitute them for telegraph wires. He found that byusing only one telegraph wire, with the earth as the return circuit, tele graph instruments functioned as well as with two wires. This method still is in use. . Steinheil next tried to telegraph solely through the earth. This experiment Is said to t>e the first successful attempt to telegraph without wires, and 50 feet were covered. S. B. Morse, inventor of wire teleg raphy and telegraph code, followed up Steiniiell’s experiments and in 184-1 transmitted messages across a canal 75 feet wide. This was accomplished by two metal conductors in each side of the canal. By the Insertion ot a battery between the two underwater plates a current was carried across the canal with the water as the con ductor. Three miles was the greatest distance reached. Professor Dolbear of Tufts college. Boston, in 1882 invented an induction transmission device. By this method an electrical influence exerted by a charged body or by a magnetic field

Hope for Humans Seen in Cures of Rat Cancer London.—Much Interest is shown in medical circles here in a description iu the Lancet by Dr Thomas Lums den. working under the British empire cancer campaign, of cures of cancer In rats.

Doctor Lumsden s method ! of attack on rat cancer consists of Io cal Injections of formalin, which damage the cancer cells in such away that their vitality is destroyed with out simultaneous destruction of their antigenic constituent — that is to -m their virulence is removed, leaving a substance which is actively hostile to other cancer cells.

| WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Washington.— Have you u daughter who must go to work this year? Will you like it if she has to work long hours each day, until she loses that healthy youth you have spent so many years building for her? These are questions put to Ameri cah mothers by Miss Mary Winslow, economic analyst and director of special studies for the women's bureau of the United States Department of Labor, who has completed a nation-wide study of the regulation of hours of work for women. “Are you resting secure in the knowledge that your state has already said she shall not work longer than 48 hours a week, and that she shall not w<>rk at night at all?" asks Miss Winslow. "Oh have you heard tales about that 48-hour law? Have you heard that it may keep her from getting any job at all, because employers don’t want to have to stop work at the end of an I eight-hour day?” Debated by Thousands. Thousands of people throughout the United States have "been discussing and debating the question of regulating women’s work. The largest of two opposing groups led by the working women themselves, including such organizations as the National Women’s Trade Union league, the League of Women Voters, the Young Women’s t.'hrisUan association, the Consumers’ league, the j National Council of Catholic Women ; and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, believe in tiie necessity of regulation because, they say, women are largely unorganized and so more liable to exploitation than men. The other group, much smaller but very active, has been led by the Na tional Women’s party, which is spon soring the "equal rights amendment” in Washington.

Nation’s Forest Acreage Large

Richmond, Va.—Virginia’s forest area comprises 12.000,000 acres, according to a statistical survey compiled by Dr. Wilson Gee and J. .1. Corson of the University of Virginia. Twenty states have a greater acreage in forest. Os these Oregon is first with 23.275.1)00 acres of tier land area known as forest land. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Minnesota have more than 2(),OOO.O(M» acres covered with timber. In 1925 Virginia held sixteenth place in the amount of lumber cut. with a total of 709.180 feet, board measure. Washington cut the most 7.027,325 feet, while Oregon was sec mid with 4,216,383. Eleven other states cut more than 1.000.000 feet ot lumber that year. They were Lonisi ana, Mississippi, Alabama, California Nevada. Arkansas, Texas. Georgia Idaho, Wisconsin and North Carolina Rhode Island cut the Smallest amount of lumber, only 3.686 feet Utah. Kansas. Delaware and New Jer sey were the only other states to cut less than 10,900 feet.

"In the course of our investigation,’ she reports, "we were continually impressed by the fact that what is needed is not the abolition of existing or proposed laws, but the more care- ] ful rewriting of those laws. There is | all the difference in the world between legislation that regulates the employ- ; meat of women and that which proi hibits it. Certain adaptations must be made in order to fit special cases. । Laws need to be cut to the measure of t*ie individual situations in the disI ferent states. Find Women Necessary. “The women’s bureau study has al ‘ ready shown that women are neces sary to industry and that reasonable legal standards for their employmen’ do not bar them from industrial work In fact, that the great majority of up to-date employers realize the value of such standards and often exceed them in their own plans. Many of them ap prove such legislation because it largely does away with the cheap unfair competition of unscrupulous employers.” The selection of Mary Winslow for this study came as a result of her own long experience with industrial problems. She was trained at the New York School of Social Work, and served first as a civil service appointee of New York city in the department of public charities. During the war she was with the council <»f national defense in Washington, hut after the armistice took the examination for rhe woman in in dustry service, which became the women's bureau in 1920.
