Blalock Managing Editor The mnn who gets blue on a cloudy day has no right to a place In the sun, anyhow. About all *a reasonable pedestrian cnn hope for now Is to be Injured only slightly. The open door In China is the re* volving kind—you’re out as soon as you’re in. A moratorium is what results when an iinplacnble creditor meets an un payable debt. One popular definition of a. flapper Is "The young daughter of the family across the way.” Ever notice tlint “Aniericnn” ends in “I can?” So let’s have less 9ant about it. Also less can't. Saturn has an asteroid, a scientist announces, and both are doing as well as could be expected. Scientists say thif Andes are con tinually falling and slipping. There should be ashes there. No\y that corn is burned for fuel, the cob Is apparently more valuable than the grain on it. A woman has been elected to the Belgian senate. Now is she a sena tor or senutress or senatrix? That wireless typewriter is to he viewed with alarm. There is too much irresponsible, long-runge writing as it is. Until man learns to love bis neighbor as himself all of his successive schemes of government will have weak spots. ^ A woman lecturer says: “It is a lie to powder the nose.” And there are others who can rouge until they are red in the face. A waitress has been presented with $10,000 by a man from whom she re fused a tip. There’s a tip in this for a lot of waitresses. Couldn’t that Paris scientist, who has developed a nonbiting flea, get busy on the mosquito before hot weather sets In? A doctor says it’s good for a woman’s nerves to flirt; but how about the man’s if friend husband has a good divorce lawyer? Influenza lias appeared in a milder form this winter, but even mild In fluenza is not something to be con tracted out of curiosity. The Peace dollar is criticized be cause it won’t pile up, so maybe that Is where It gets its name. Peace Isn’t exactly piling up, either. Some of the unemployed have been a disappointment to employers who took them on with the understanding that they wanted to work. One of the main uses of the seismo graph seems to be to cause people to worry over something they otherwise would not have known about. News that It Is possible to make pe troleum out of living plants may in duce more than one prospective pur chaser to go ahead and buy that car. Pure grain alcohol may be obtained from ordinary illuminating gas, ac cording to a university chemist. It in troduces a new way to have a blow out. Most of the hair for the heads of dolls is gotten from goats. However, this does not dispose of an opinion that it isn’t long before the doll looks like the goat. In these days of ‘ synthetic substi tutes, it is consoling to know that there is one useful article that can not be synthesized any further. We refer to hash. It is said that Charley, the famous chimpanzee, can thread a needle, which is not remarkable as we view it, since we have known so many other bachelors who could. If appearances do not deceive us, the thing that is causing most discon tent at the present time Is the short age of $6,000 a year jobs with very lit tle work attached to them. A fashion item from Paris says that koopskirts will be fashionable next spring. Some Frenchmen seem to be going out of their way, right now, to be contrary and unpopular. A lecturer informs us that the modern flapper is better informed about many things than was her slater of the Victorian era, but maybe she only talks more about what she knows.

T HIS is one of the incorrect phrases which have somehow crept into common usage In the English language, although a moment’s thought will show the speaker or writer that it is absurd to say that a person “enjoys" poor health. "To enjoy” means “to experience joy or pleasure in; receive pleasure from the possession or use of or participation In; delight in" (Standard Dictionary). Why, then, should a person say, “I have enjoyed poor health during the past year?” You can enjoy only that which brings you pleasure or profit; and surely ill health brings neither. Of course, it is quite proper to say, “I have enjoyed good health,” since good health, being the greatest of human blessings, is to be appreciated and enjoyed. , A similar error It to be “agreeably” disappointed. If you are disappointed, the experience cannot be agreeable. (Copyright.) O Hdw HgStsirted THE WORD “RUBBER" T HE material which we now krjow as “rubber” was formerly called elastic gum. One of the earliest uses of this gum had been to erase marks on paper, and tlie chemist, Priestly, In about 1770, suggested that the material which erased or “rubbed” so effectively should be called “Lidia rubber.” His suggestion was adopted, and the name soon became universal. (Copyright). -O Potentially Genuine. “Walter, I ordered chicken soup. What do you call this?” “That’s it, sir—young chicken soup.” “Young chicken soup! What do you mean by that?” “Well, it’s the water we boiled the eggs in, sir.”—Boston Transcript. Methodist Church. WORSHIPS THE FIRST AND THIRD SUNDAYS. BIBLE SCHOOL 10 o’clock a. m.
