After all these years of luxurlous fdleness the Venus de Milo must be- come a wage earner. The authorities of France have so decreed. And not only Venus, but Mona Lisa and all the other celebrities gathered In the Louvre, and in the Luxembourg and other galleries as well, For the fiat has gone forth recently that hereafter those who have been accustomed to visit the museums of Parls day after day, finding their treasures free as air, must pay an admission fee. If you want to go to admire Venus in her crimson velvet seclusion you must pay for the privilege. To be sure, she is worth any price, you must admit. And when you go into the Salon Carre of the Louvre and stop to meditate about what the enigmatical Mona Lisa is meditating, you must pay for that, too. Not a separate admission for each de- partment. No, they are all banded to- gether in one big union, as it were, all those priceless treasures of each museum, and hereafter they will earn their keep. i Rothschild’s Best Tip. In 1871 a friend approached Baron Rothschild, the great financler, who was a firm bellever in the maxim “Buy when everybody else is selling and sell when others are buying” and asked what the banker considered a * first-class investment. “Ruy French rentes,” said Roths- child; “you can get them cheaply now.” French bonds were then selling at 63. “But the strects of Paris are run- ning with blood,” objected his friend. “Ihat’s the reason you can buy them cheaply,” rcplled the money baron. A quarter of a century later in 1808 these bonds were selling at 105 and were considered as perhaps the most conscrvative lnvestment in the world, ~\Wall Street Journal. Fliers Good Work. Tor revealing details hidden from lorizontal observation, the value of the “bird's-eye” view was demonstrated ancw in fowa not long ago. The at- tention of a fller, circling about near Des Moines, was caught by various ribbons of smoke arising from ap- parently deserted regions, and closer in- spection ravealed a number of autos hidden In the brush, says Popular Me- chanics Magazine, When the airman returned with a companion and made a landing, a large copper still was discovered, attended by four men and | fed with corn from a wagon. | oo ooy The Matrimonial Kind. “The men's wear department is two aisles to the left, sir,”™ said the offi- clous floorwalker. “We are having a special sale of collars today.” “I don't want any collars,” said the meek-looking man who was waiting for his wife. “I've been wearing a pretty stiff one for twenty years.” “The same collar, sir?” “The same.

Lumber rafts of large size, called rafanutes, have been success- fully towed from Sweden to Great Britain, says the Scientific American. The Ocean Rafanute Syndicate pf London, England, has sent Willinm Olsson of Stockholm, an experienced the passibility of adapting that method to British Columbia timber exports. The rafanutes are made of square timbers. Mr. Olsson, though express- ing nething definite, believes that the tremendous timbers of the British Co- lumbia forests will make possible the construction and successful operation of rafanutes far larger than the rafts now shipped out of the Baltic. Swedish structures carry 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 feet cach. It Is proposed that the British Columbin rafts will contain 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 feet. Removing Label.

On Thanksgiving day there was of- fered at auction in London the Shake- speare hotel at Stratford-on-Avon, a beputiful specimen of Fourteenth cen- tury architecture, which for years has | been“the main resort of Americans and other tourists to Strdtford-on- Avon. o4 The. history = of Stratford-on-Avon may be traced back for a period of 1,000 years, and as the birthplace of the great poet it has become a classic center visited annually by some 50,000 | people. The Guard house, where he courted Anne Hathaway; Charlotte Park, once the seat of Sir Thdmas Lucy, whose displeasure Shakespeare fncurred by stealing his deer; the Shakespeare Memorlal theater, on the banks of the Avon, and Shakespeare’s monument, are all places worthy of visiting in the old market town of Stratford-on-Avon. The Shakespeare hotel, situated in the center of the town and close to the Shakespeare Memorial Theater, was erected in the Fourteenth century, and has been In the hands of the late Mr. Justing’ family since 1870. A few’ doors from the Shakespeare hotel is the Hawvard house, which was the early home of the Faryard family, founders of Harvard university. Another Discoverer. In an old Spanish geographical work on America published in 1552 by Fran- cesco Lopez de Gomern, a priest "of Sevilla, It is mentioned that Labrador | was renched for the first time by a party of Norwegian sailors piloted by Jobn Scolvus or Jon Skolp in 1476. The announcement was made for the first time spme years ago, but it was | greeted, with skepticism that Ceolum- bus had been anticipated on the Amer- ican shorts by any but Lelf Ericson, but recently additional evidence haa. shown that Columbus’ visit to this country was antedated by Scolvus by 20 yenrs and steps are being taken to urge the former’s claims for honors. | —— ~ Way: “Some politicians,” said Jud Tun- | kins, “ain’t satisfied with the mistakes ' they can make themselves, but appoint a whole lot o’ folks to carry on the work.” é Possibly.

ENCOURAGED IN'OREGON (By United Press) ¥ Balem, Ore, Jan. 10.—Soldiers’ be- nuses was probably the most import- ane proposed legislation confronting the Oregon legislature when it ‘con- vened here today in biennial session. The American Legion, department of Oregon, will demand a law provid- ing a cash bonus of $15 per month of service between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918, or an alternative of a farm or home loan ranging from $400 to $2,000, depending on the length of service of the veteran, The Legion will also spomsor a bill similar to the anti-Japanese law of California, aimed to prevent land holdings by orientals in Oregon.

Jan. 1921 Several inquiries have recently come to us concern- ing the likelihood of another reduction in the price of our ears, and ag these inquiries no doubt emanate from prospective purchagers, we want to state again with greater emphasis that Ford cars are already being sold at a figure actually below cost and for an indefinite pe- riod another reduction or change inr design is entirely at all contemplated. We believe the public 'will be fair enough to fully appreciate the frankness of the above when they consid- er the extent ‘of our recent price ¢ut which was, in fact, the equivalent of several reductions in one, in our desire: to contribute toward satisfying their demands for lower living cests notwithstanding our sacrifice in marketing' our cars at a loss until we are able to materially reduce present costs through lawer material prices and greater manufacturing efficiency. While we have, of course, made some progressin bringing'down operating: costs, we still have a long way to go before any thought cah be given to further reductions in present car prices, so we have no hesitancy in making these open statements to acquaint you with the true situation. You can therefore give assurance to prospective purchasers of Ford cars that now is their real opportu- nity to buy below cost and obtain delivery. Everyone is familiar with the heavy demand for Ford cars in the spring and this year will-be no exception, as, in spite of conditions, business is already rapidly accumulating, so that many who desire Ford cars will be obligéd to wait perhaps until mid-summer for delivery causing consid- erable inconvenience and possibly financial loss, pa ularly to commercial customers. We expect you to protect the interests of prospec- tive buyers in your community by placing these facts .. Yours very truly, FORD MOTOR COMPANY / W.A.RYAN, Manager of Sales , partic-
