Super-Patriotic Strikes
Super-patriotic zeal was the cause
•of several strikes in Massachusetts
during 1915-1918, according to a
study of “Strikes” issued by the Co
lumbia University Press. The pro-
German sentiments of two machine
shop employees, and the refusal of
an Italian to buy war-saving stamps
caused two fairly large strikes, both
of which were won. Two hundred
Russian inspectors in the plants of
the New England Westinghouse
company in Springfield and Chico
pee, walked out because they mis
understood the term democracy. In
1917, 200 wool spinners struck be
cause they believed their new fore
man was a German.
War Near America
The first World war came close
to the U. S. Atlantic coast. Three
ships were sunk near Cape Hatteras
by submarines. Most famous of
ships to be destroyed was old
Diamond Lightship. Other boats
were the Happanage, a wooden
freighter, built in Wilmington, N. C.,
which went down off Cape Hatteras,
and the Milo, a tanker sunk off Nags
Head, N. C. The crew of the light
ship rowed an open boat nearly to
shore before being rescued.
China's Educational Status
Destruction of scores of institu
tions of learning has failed to weak
en the traditional Chinese belief in
education. Ten thousand persons
have taken entrance examinations
to qualify for admission to 19 Chi
nese colleges and higher technical
schools, most of which are carrying
on in temporary quarters hundreds
of miles from their pre-war cam
puses in Japanese-occupied cities.
Father and Son Parade
A 15-year-old Pasadena boy, who
had borrowed the family car with
out permission, was being pursued
so hotly by his Irate father in a
truck, that the boy in an effort to
■escape him, lost control of the
wheel, and crashed into a church
with such force that he knocked the
corner stone out of the foundation.
The juvenile court and ail concerned
went into a huddle on the affair.
Kat Does Greatest Harm
It is not as a destroyer of proper
ly or as a consumer of food but
as a health menace that the rat
does the greatest harm, says Hy
geia, the Health Magazine.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
OH. FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Grandpa butler was m
when he died, but he held out
to the very last for what he affec
tionately called "the good old days."
He liked to tell about them. Life
was simpler then, said he. We didn’t
hurry so fast. We
had more time to
read and to enjoy
our friends. And the
cost of living—say, I M "
you could live for a
third of what it costs a wff
u fellow these days.
Where Grandpa BoBET %&.'
Butler’s logic fell
down was in confus- ,■■>#?
ing the standards of
living when he was a
- and when he was Charles Roth
an octogenarian.
When he was young you could
live for less —but you had less in
your life. You put up with discom
forts which would be unthinkable to
day. You ate unbalanced meals,
lived in uncomfortable homes, had
no radio sets, automobiles or elec
tric servants.
As a matter of fact—but we were
never able to convince Grandpa But
ler of it—the cost of living today,
dollar for dollar of value consid
ered, is far less than it was in his
young days.
Your dollar actually buys more,
brings you more value, than any
other dollar in history.

Anyone who understands simple
economics will tell you why. Two
words will do it. The words are
mass production.
Mass production is impossible
without mass distribution, which is
just another way of saying that when
a larger number of things are made
a large number of people must be
made to buy them.
There wasn’t any mass distribu
tion until advertising was developed,
and there wasn’t any of the things in
our lives we call modern until ad
vertising put them there.
In many foreign countries even
today you have to spend weeks
scouring the markets for what you
want. Farmers bring their cattle
and produce to market. They stay
in town two or three weeks dispos
ing of it. Consumers have to go
from stall to stall and dicker for
everything they want.
If you have the time and enjoy
trading, that sort of thing is fine,
is fun; but most of us have other
things to do. We find it simpler to
do our trading by reading the news
paper advertisements, decide what
we will buy and then go down to the
store or telephone.
It saves time. It saves more. It
saves money. Without advertising
to smooth the route of goods from
seller to buyer, the cost of every
thing is higher than when advertis
ing is in the picture.

English Five-Mile Act
In English law the Five-Mile act
was an English statute passed in
1665 which forbade any non-con
formist minister, who refused to
tak« the bath of non-resistance, to
come within five miles of any cor
porate town, borough or parish
where he had preached since 1660,
or to act as a schoolmaster or pri
vate tutor. It continued in force un
til the passing of the Toleration act
in 1689.
Horseshoe Collections
Edward H. Clucker, Cleveland,
Ohio, who worked as a race-horse
“swipe” when a boy, has a collec
tion of more than 1,500 horseshoes
and says he can produce one from
every well-known American horse.
Among his collection are shoes from
Twenty Grand, Cavalcade, Man o’
War, Greyhound, and Tony, the
movie horse.
Taxes on Thirst
Five states impose taxes on soft
drinks, reports the National Con
sumers Tax commission.
All Important Feet
Ninety per cent of human ills are
authoritatively stated to come from
the feat.
United States Seal
The Great Seal of the United
States was adopted on June 20, 1782.
White Line Hungers
Psychologists note with alarm the
increasing tendency for drivers to
hug the white line where highways
are divided into two opposing lanes.
This brings cars dangerously close
together and makes it difficult to
overtake those going in the same
direction. Drivers who note this
danger, however, are not dismayed.
They believe that on the highway of
tomorrow the dividing line may not
be visible by day. It won’t be a
case of the slightly tipsy driver roll
ing up the white line when morning
comes. The paint used for marking
will be the luminous type, visible
qnly in the dark.
In Constant Prayer
Accustom yourself gradually to
carry prayer into all your daily oc
cupations. Speak, move, work, in
peace, as if you were in prayer, as
indeed you ought to be. Do every
thing without excitement, by the
spirit of grace.—Fenelon.
