No little man, be he democrat,

ever sit in the White house at
Washington and be the Spokes

thought which distinguish the
political parties In this coun

of a man. Character and abili
ty know no party lines, nor is
patriotism defined in the creed
of any political organization.

Yonah’s Business
Ends When He Tries
To Enlarge Sphere
Yonah Stevens, a youthful
negro boy, decided to become a
great salesman. He had not tho
good8 with which to begin his
salesmanship career, however.
A novel idea took hold of him.
He would steal rubber heels
and sell them to unsuspecting
customers.
Yonah began Ills salesman
ship career under bright aus
pices. He managed to steal tho
rubber heels from Odum’s shoe
shop where he was employed,
and sold them at reduced
prices to several willing cus
tomers.
Yonah was ambitious; very
ambitious. He had what you
might call, aspirations to be
come a “big fish” In the sales
mans world. Selling rubber
heels to individuals did not ex
actly come up to his idea of
big salesman ship and so be
sought out the real customers.
He tried a shoe shop, hoping
to land an order for several
rubber heels. The shop keeper
bought Yonah’s wares and
proved to he Yonah’s Jonah.
Now Mr. Yonah is facing
charges of stealing and will be
tried before Juvenile Judge J.
I). Bradwell.

New Method of
Testing Explosives
WASHINGTON.—Development of
method of testing the amount
of explosive dusts in suspension in
tho air at commercial plants, with
he aim of reducing the number of
isnftrous explosions, is under wiy
y engineers of the Bureau or
Chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture which expects «hor'»y
to announce the perfection of a
successful testing instrument. Such
Ice, It Is sail, would result
In the saving annual!/ of many
lives and an untold amount of
property.
Processes in many Industries are
productive of considerable, dust
clouds, which, hanging finely sus
pended In tho air, form a combina
tion that is highly explosive.
Among tho establishments in thin
category arc grain elevators, rub*
