as old as she feels.

FOUND ANGLING GOUD SPORT
Many Notables Have Been Devotess
of Sport Immortalized By
Sir lzaak Waiton.
When President Harding prepared
himself for the responsibilities of his
great office by spending a few weeks
fishing in Florida he added one more
to the long ‘list of notables who have
heen devotees of that sport. It is re
corded that Noah was not only a good
boatman, but a skiliful angler as well.
Long before the flood, and far away
In the mists of time, there is a Baby
lonfan legend that Belus, son of Nim
rod, discovered fishing. The first au
thentic record of angling appears when
the Lord asks Job: “Can’t thou teke
out a fish with a hook?' The greai
Homer immortallzes the art in the
“Ilad’ and “Odyssey.” stating that
#odlike men. when pinched for dinner
fished withi crooked hooks, and even
dived for oysters. It was Plato, the
Greek philosopher, who once said:
“There is nothing in angling that Is
noble, or daring, or requiring skill.”
Charlemagne, who dominated west
ern Europe in the eighth century, ad
vised his subjects to take up the art
of angling in order to be content. “Be
cause.” sald he, “I have never yet
known an angler who was melan
choly.”
But the greatest fisherman and phil
osoplher of modern times {s undoubted-
Iy Sir Izaak Walton. In his “Com.
pleat Angler” he indicates the prog
ress of fishing, particularly on Iy~
Ing trout. He had a different color
ed fly for every month in the year.
His hooks are a source of informa
tion for all. and it has beeh sald that
In them a child may wade and the
tallest giant swim. “Angling.” sald
Izaak, “ is llke mathematics, In that
it can never be fully learned, at least
not so fully but that there will always
be room for experiment by some sue
ceeding angler.”—Detroit News.
THAT’S THE STORY HE TELLS
But It Certainly Was Unfortunate
that the “Tonic” Should Explode
When It Did.
An Indiana manufacturer recently
enjoyed a restful Sunday In the quiet
of his own home, a steady downpour
of rain giving every assurance of his
not being disturbed. Karly in the eve
ning, however, he concluded a little
walk wowd be beneficial, and remem
bering his wife having mentioned she
was In need of another bottle of her
favorite springtime remedy, he donned
a reincoat and braved the elements.
Pocketing his purchase, and home
ward bound, he thought to have a look
in on the evening service at the church
of which he was a devoted and valued
member. Standing in the rear of the
church, as thére was an unusually
large congregation, he became much
interested in the sermon, when to his
horror there cume a terrific bang, fol
lowed by a deluge of foam flying in
every direction; all eyes were turned
his way and the sermon temporarily
discontinued while the erstwhile de
vout church member beat his hasty re
treat amid the laughter of the entire
congregation, having no opportunity to
explain that he was carrying home g
harmless bottle of “tonic” for his wife.

DEMAND FOR PLAYING-CARDS
Manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase in Their Use, Mostly in’
Private Families,
There has ve:n a ‘reaendous in
crease in the use of plivi . cards in
private families witlLin (he last 20
years in this country, tle representa
tive of a big Americun card-manufac
turing house says in the New York
Times. It may scein strunge, but it is
the private family that does most of
the using of cards. The proportion of
playing-cards used in the big clubs is
small, There is an average of from
two to three packs of playing-cards
used per family each year in the
United States, it is estimated, which
is a big percentage of the total,
Men's clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from $1 to
$1.50 or $2 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to 8 cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out of the market, and business has
gone to the higher grades, which re
tail at from 30 to 75 cents. The in
creased playing of bridge has brought
Into vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful in shape, smaller and a
'ittle less bulky. : ¢
The bulk of the cards sold have a

Among those the best liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel-engraved or “banknote” back, en
sraved with the lathework design.
These come in the four eolors and now

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
World’s Greatest Scourge, the
Plague of Leprosy.
The news fromm Hawaii indicates
that science Las at st found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
world’s most appaiiing disease, Of the
142 former lepers who have been 'pu‘
roled fror the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has bheen sent
back.
It is peculiur that the plague which
uas troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer
should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
‘t. To modern science is due the dis
covery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
s cure is accomplished with refined
*haulmoogra oil, the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the FEast for centuries.
Science has anproved on native prac
tice not only in the oil but in its appli
cation.
To a world which has 3,000,000 lep
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set abont the cure
of her 2,000,000 stricken. India has
200,000 lepers, Japan 20,000. And the
United States has had a big leper prob.
lem which the developments in Hawall
should soon solve. While the cases of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few—p+rhaps not 30g—we
have thousands of fepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service ¢an go ahead there as
it has proceeded in Hawali,

Thing in the Island.
Untll six years ago head-hunting wa<
In full swing along the coust of New
Gulnea, writes Rev. E. Cappers in
Catholic Missions, and describes one
of these expeditions by the tribe or
the Marind-anim or Kaya-Kayas. Th
practice, he says, has been consider
*bly checked by military expeditions.
Nevertheless head-hunting is still quite
frequent in the interior. On the ap
pointed day men, women and children
; would hasten to the point of embarka
tlon. At the approach of their goal
‘the boats were anchored, and the en
tire party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de
signated spot had been reached. On
the day before the attack the hunters
«kept hidden in the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
to launch the attack early before dawn.
Jccasionally, the hunters were hotly
received, but most of the time the in
tended victims were roused from thelr
sleep by the sudden war-cry of the
whole attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves, Vietims
were felled by the dozen, many of
them pierced through by the sharp
vointed arrows.
~ The victors yelled their war-cry and
‘ ‘epaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights of feasting awalted
‘ them with song and dance, around the
‘ gruesome trophy.

if the Georgia marketing agencies will use proper dilligence
and some brains in placing its virtues before the American
public. Already well established in the fzvor of tens of
thousands of the Northern boys who camped in Southern

they will keep indefinitely—lt is this feature which will
