HOW
LONDON DliBTOf’S* I’ll ISONS
f OliTJONKD OUT BOOMS.—
There were live debtors’ prisons in
old London—the King’s Bench, the
Murshiilwett, White Cross Street,
Uorseuionger Lane and the Fleet.
The lust named Is remembered as
the place la which Mr. l’ickwlck
was confined utid to which Sum
Weller went when he visited Ins
master. It was un unusual prison,
even ns debtors’ prisons went, for
it allowed a certain space without
the prison within which prisoners
were permitted to reside at large,
provided they “furnished “ball"—against nntlsfuc
tor.v security"—1. e.,
their escape. This space, known
ns “The Rules,” embraced a circuin
ferenee of three tulles and Includ
ed the London Coffee house with
in Its area.
Another system peculiar to debt
ors’ prisons at that time was known
ns “chumming.”
This meant that every new pris
oner was given a "churn ticket,"
which Imltcuted the particular
room In which he was to lodge. He
showed Ills ticket to the inmate ot
the room, who had el (tier to Share
the apartment with the newcomer
or else pay him 5 shillings to "pur
chase him out.” If the newcomer
was offered the fee, he was com
pelled to take It, nnd then went
and provided himself with the
share of some other room, us best
he could. Plenty of poor prison
ers were only too glad to let off
part of their rooms for a shilling
or 18 pence. Some of the prison
ers, who had the means of furnish
ing their rooms In u lavish man
ner, would let them off to newcom
ers, who could afford to pay, for as
much as a guinea a week.—London

How Rcdio Wave* Travel
At ordinary temperatures, the speed
of sound through tha air Is about
1,100 feet per second. Radio waves
travel with the speed of light, that Is,
with the velocity of over 180,000 miles
per second. For practical purposes,
therefore, u radio message sent out to
any part o' the enrtli may be said to
cover the distance Instantaneously,
while the same sound takes about a
second to reach the ears of n listener
1,000 feet away.

How “Mausoleum” Originated
Greek architects became so famous
for their remnrkable achievements In
Greece that often they were hired
to do big Jobs in other lands, says an
article In a Boston paper. In Asia
Minor there was a small but wealthy
country known as Carla, one of the
Greek states which were numerous on
the Asiatic mainland and the outlying
Islands. The capital was Halicarnassus
and a Persian satrap named Mausolus
seized authority there In the Fourth
ceutury, B. C. His death cave an
tborlty to his wife, Artemisia, who re
solved to commemorate his fame by
building the most wonderful monument
to a man’s memory.
Pytheos, a sculptor architect, was
summoned to design the memorial,
which became so famous tha! It ; was
ranked among the Seven Won ’Iff <*

How Paint Affect* Car*
In a study of refrigerator cars, en
gineers of the bureau of agricultural
engineering found that the color with
which a car was painted had much
to do with the degree of penetration
of solar heat Into the car. There was
less penetration of solar heat through
light-colored pulrps than through oth
ers. Under like conditions or radia
tion and exposure to sunshine, car stir
faces painted red were hotter than
those painted yellow, but were cooler
than those painted black. It was
found also that the difference between
air and surface temperatures for sta
tlonnry cars was about twice ns great
as for moving cars.

Peace lies not in the external world
It lies within one’s own soul.
Warning*
Don’t b« misled by false state
ments. Calomel, salts, mineral wa
ters, olli, laxative pills and drugs
hava no affect whatever on the liver
or Its production of bile. The truth
of this statement can he proved by
consulting the authoritative medical
textbooks published during the pest
five years.
There are only two known sub
stances which will actually stimulate
a torijid or slugeish liver to cleanse
and purify itseli by increasing Its
production of bile. Sargon Soft
Miss Pills contain both of these sub
stances, and ro other advertised

SOAK THE AUTOMOBILE OWNER?
The Federal gas tax will undoubtedly he with us another
twelve mon-lhs.
Is anyone optimistic enough to think that such a remunerative
tax will ever be repealed? The marvel is that it has not been
increased.
How many taxes can you think of tltot were established as
emergency measures, that have ever been dropped? Or, if they
were dropped, have not been disguised and collected just the
the same under a new name?
And now there is a pressure to make state gas taxes still
higher and make automobile owners furnish additional taxes
to the general fund.
PEACE AND TAXES
The friends of world peace are the best friends of tax reduc
tion as well.
The cost of war—past, present and future—is the major item
in the operating cost of every great power. In this country, 72
per cent of all federal funds, go for war debts, war veterans and
the army and navy.
Organized destruction hits every pocketbook.
