TRUTH TRIFLES The sea of matrimony swamps many a courtship. People with sharp tongues make cutting remarks. Children who have measles are bound to be rash. THE ROCKDALE RECORD. CONYLRS. GEORGIA Bigamy Is merely an overissue of matrimonial bonds. All things come to him who waits — except the tiling lie wants. The wise girl looks well to l:er bait when she fishes for compliments. Father's only way to win in an argu men vith the family is to holler. A double spendthrift is a person who squanders both time and money. The woman of the hour is the one who promises to be ready in a second. If the pockets are deep enough, a boy’s first pair of trousers always fit. Every one Is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.—Cer vantes. The man who steals kisses is liable eventually t<* find biiuself serving a life sentence.

A woman will smile in a pair of tight shoes, but a man will swear on tiie slightest provocation. Milk Is good, and water is good ; hut that doesn't mean flint Ibo milk pail should he set under Hie pump. Efficiency for Pie Makers Efficiency lias invaded Hie kitchens of Germany, and I >r. Max Mengering linusen, styling himself a “household engineer,” lias eliminated waste mo tions in pie making. He placed a sinail lamp on the wrist of a woman while she was preparing the pastry like mother did il. A camera recorded ev ery movement of tlie women’s wrist in line on a photographic plate. When these were studied they revealed the different motions necessary for the op eration, and suggested hmv more con venient kitchen equipment nn<l hotter organization of Hie work might re duce the fatigue involved in kitchen labor. Jiago Speeches Hr. Ralph Sockman of Hie Madison Avenue Methodist church. New York, was condemning jingoism tit a lunch eon. “Jingoism,” lie said, “breeds anger, and anger is the cause of nil wars. The tragedies caused hy anger arc in deed incredible.” Doctor Sockmnn shook his head grimly “The angry man,” lie end J, “opens his mouth and shuts his eyes.” Aut:> Travels on Water Using a pair of seaplane pontoons, a Winnipeg man makes trips hy witter in his automobile, and completed a I'JO-mile voyage without mishap.

Hie car cruises at a speed of about 15 miles an hour. —Popular Mechanics Maga zine. New York Dirt Tliere is an old expression, “<lirt cheap,” that does not apply in New York city. There is a sign in a New York store window winch reads: “Dirt —lO cents a quart.” The fact is that in New York city there is no dirt avail able for liower pots unless it is bought at a dirt store. Tins seems incredible to the rest of the country, but it is true.—Princeton Clarion-News.

NEW WAR MACHINE IS FAST TRAVELER A “greyhound'’ army tank that charges over sand dunes anil plowed fields at 40 miles an hour and streaks down highways at a mile it minute is tiie latest addition to the fighting strength of the United States. The speedy war machine, which carries three men, passes the ordinary tank as though die latter were standing still and gets under way before the more unwieldy machines of the pas! begin to move, says Popular Science Monthly. Tiie spectacular new Jank showed what it'can do recently in tests con ducted before army officers -it ('amp Meade, Mil. Over rough ground. Its caterpillar treads carried it at 4'_.5.' miles an hour.

SMALL BOY’S GUESS LOGICAL, AT LEAST Every night, at the Sequoia Na tional park they have a campfire which includes an impromptu entertainment, and frequently a brief talk on the giant trees or some phase o 1 wild life, given hy some attache of Hie park.

SELECTED “SHOTS” Climate itsn’t everything; but it is more than half. For as few friends as a cal has, it lives pretty well. There's no time like tiie present for putting off tilings. The man who blames the woman is one kind of jellyfish. A man who isn’t born shiftless can't acquire that weakness. One-half of the world knows how to work the other half. Investments that pay enormously are usually matters of luck. The woman who lias tact invari ably knows what not to do. If moral aphorisms reilect experi enee, they are guides to live by. A jealous man is always in love, blit it's more self-love than anything else. Strangers in a city are never in a hurry, and they see more than any body else. It is those who don’t know how to do anything who clamor for Hie most vacations. If you disapprove of dancing, lea in to dance and see i.’ it doesn’t change your views.

Housewife —Well, tlie servants get interested in them and stay on just to see how the stories end.—Montreal Star. The Real Question Father —I shall allow my daughter a hundred a year when she marries. Prospective Suitor—That's very fair, sir. And what were you thinking ot allowing her husband? —London Opin ion. Not Only in the Auto “Does your wife drive from the back seat?” “Of course.” said Mr. Chugging, “and from tiie library chair and from toe dinner place and every oilier kind of seat there is."

Her bert conceives them to lie. on the one hand, n new datum for experience and. on the other, the mass of organ ized experience through which the new datum obtains meaning and in terest. The mental resultant of pre vious experience wherewith we meet and receive anew experience is termed apperceptive or apperception masses.
