Some of the people worrying
about teenocracy might try at
tending to their own business.
Correct shis sontence: “But,
John, he was an old friend of
mine, and the car really broke
down.”
France can loan money to Aus
tria for political purposes but
doesn’t see a way to pay her war
debts.
Prosperity will be back when
that old friend pays back the ten
spot you loaned him three years
ago.
It doesn’t take a federal report
to tell “us farmers” that farm
ing is down to a “subsistence
level.”
You won’t wake up any morn
ing to discover that the big boom
has started while you were a
sleey.
Everybody agrees that the
country needs reforms but no
two persons agree upon what
the reforms ought to be.
We see where some professor
w. nts an inquiry into a depress

pass the time away.

France “finds debts are chief

The U, S. marines are out of
Nicaragua but it remains to be
seen whether the government
there can keep the peace. If it
fails, what then?
The proposed farm relief bill
is said to vive between $750,000-
000 and $1,000,000,000 to th*
farmers. They will put it back
into ciiculation!
Church societies urge a world
wide economic conference, tut
there isn’t any use to hold these
parleys if there is no give ami
take spirit on exhibition.
Cumming needn’t go to sleep
during 1933 there are many
things that can be done, partic
ularly social work that will prove
valuable in later years.
The death rate in 1932 was
lower than usual but many pre
dict a rising rate some years
hence when the neglect of the
current year brings on serious
diseases.
Someone might be able to tell
us which is the biggest public
nuisance, the people who take
themselves too seriously, or
those who take themselves too
lightly,
The war debts can be paid in
goods and services; if the United
States wishes to live to itself,
and cut out foreign trade, then
it might as well kiss the war
debts good-bye.
Here’s another smile on the
Far Eastern question: Washing
ton is repo;ted as seeing “dang
er” in the fighting around Shan
haikwan. Who for? It must be
for Chinese.
The justification of big busi

JUST LIKE PEOPLE
Nations are like human beings.
When they are hurt, or imagine that
they are injured, they usually pick on
smaller and defenseless targets. If
the United States wants to avoid a
lot of unpleasantness in the next de
cade or two it might be well to exer
cise extreme politeness, but keep up
an army and navy that are alert and
efficient.
Cheer up. There won’t be any
more political speeches on the
radio for nearly two years.
Strange Trick of Mind
That Has Puzzled Many
The condition that causes a person
to feel that he has had exactly the
same experience before when he knows
that it Is not possible Is known as
paramnesia. It Is a common experi
ence, and, briefly explained, the reac
tion depends upon a little trick of the
mind manifested by a momentary loss
of a sense of time and space. The In
dividual enters Into an experience or
a situation, obtains a fleeting Impres
sion of this situation, then the atten
tion Is momentarily attracted to some
thing else. The period of time may
be almost Infinitesimal. Then upon
the return of the attention to the orig
inal situation this lapse of time is lost
to the individual and the period be
tween the two experiences seems ocea
sionnlly to expand Into a long period,
even into the remote past. Another
explanation, which is based on more
recent psychological investigations,
holds that one's unconscious mind
sees much more than the attentive con
scions one, and that a situation, even
to Its details, may he taken in without
paying direct conscious attention to it.
Then a moment later when the facul
ties of the conscious mind are at work
on the situation the experience seems
to have been experienced before. Here,
again, the lapse of time between the
two impressions may he greatly over
estimated and expanded.—Washington
Star.
Funeral Made Occasion
for Joyous Ceremonies
Veronica Kantor, a wealthy old peas
ant woman of Temerin, in the Bacska.
had tier “wedding" celebrat and by
scores of guests who attended her fu
neral, says the New York Times. As
a young girl she vowed never to marry
and kept it to the day of her death at
ths nge of eighty-two years. In her
will she ordered that she should not
he hurled with funeral services but
with marriage rites.
Her instructions were carried out
according to Serbian wedding customs.
Her body was arrayed in a wedding
dress and a crown of myrtle leaves.
Horses decked out with white and sil
ver ribbons drew the gayiy decorated
hearse to the cemetery, followed by
scores of peasants in their rainbow
colored festival garments singing gay
wedding songs of love and romance.
All carried multicolored bouquets.
After the burial the guests returned
to the dead “bride's” former home,
where music, dancing and feasting
were kept up until a late hour.
Emerson Up to Date
Nowadays, “if a man makes a better
mouse trap,” (even though he live, in
the midst of a wilderness, etc.), he
will put on a big national advertising
campaign, and his sales manager will
dispatch high-pressure salesmen into
their respective territories, and the
salesmen will work themselves all up
into a lather offering little traps, me
dium sized traps and large traps,
offering plain traps, gold plated traps
and diamond-studded traps, offering
cash terms and trade-in terms and dol
lar down terms and any old terms you
can mention—and still a large part of
the prospective buyers will decide to
get along without a mouse trap for
another year, or will say that they
prefer a cat. —Detroit News.
Ancient and Modern Violins
Experiments made In London sup
port the contention that the present
day hand-made violin Is quite as good
as those made by any of the famous
makers whose names are household
words. The tone produced by the pres
ent-day instruments was as strong and
pure as the best Strad, and the most
experienced listeners could not distin
guish which was the Strad, and which
the modern violin. If our greatest ex
perts cannot tell which is the better
instrument, why pay a fabulous price
for prestige?—Exchange.
Tricki of Earthworm
The earthworm has only one head
or front half with the organs essential
to continued life. This is the smaller
pointed end. If the worm is cut in two
near the middle, the front half will
usually grow another tail; the hind
half will usually produce a second
tail, but such a worm is incapable of
ingesting food and will soon die. When
only a few of the front segments of the
worm are cut off, say less than five,
the •remaining part of the worm will
usually repair the injury by producing
anew head.
Too Much Pie
The teacher was very young and
not very experienced and she realized
the moment she said "pies” in explain
ing an example that she never should
have said it. However, she went along
with as straight a face as she could
muster. The idea she was trying hard
to convey had to do with quantities.
“Now, Esmeralda Mae, you know
you would really rather have nine
pies than seven.”
"Oh, no, I wouldn’t. No. Indeed, I
wouldn’t. I just know even seven pies
would make me sick.”
The Lark’s Song
The song of the lark is a continu
ous torrent of contrasted guttural and
clear, shrill sounds and thrills, so rap
idly emitted that the notes, so differ
ent in character, yet seem to Inter
penetrate or to overlap each other;
and the effect on the ear is similar to
that on the eye of sober or dull and
brilliant colors mixed and running into
one another In a confused pattern.—
