SPORTS . Two million Americans now play golf — ome i every 53—according to the makers of golf sticks. The wood used in our:golf sticks, ‘baseball bats and other sporting appliances is 25,000,000 feet a year. Hickory tops the list. p i A nation that goes in for sports so heartily that it requires that much equipment, is building up powerful physiques for future generations. Out door sport is the antidote for the posion of city life. d : : TAX DODGERS f Thirty days in jail for Joseph Schwartz and Harry Sultzer, New York furriers. They pleaded guilty to dodging the luxury tax. Nothing new about ti The new; feature is the jail sentence. It jouldn’t take many such sentences to make certain corporations, wealthy men and their cun- ning accountants and lawyers to think twice be- fore trying to beat the government. Law is respected when it has teeth—if the teeth really bite. FOR EVERY WOMAN Whether or not the women of the werld suc- ceed in getting representation on the ‘Washington disarmament conference delegations they are go- ing to have a.chance to express their desire for world peace in a way that cannot but be effective. The ‘National Women’s Trade Union League of ‘America has initiated a world-wide demonstration by women for disarmament, to be held on Arm- istice Day, the day ‘that the Washington confer- ence opens. It is expected that millions of women in every country in the world will participate in the dem- onstration, the details of which are. yet to be worked out. The purpose as expressed by Mrs. Raymond Robbins, the president of the league, is “to strengthen the governments in their desire to disarm by giving unequivocal expression of the women of the world.” This is a call to duty that should challenge the §nterest of every woman, however humble her station in life. LIVE AND LEARN A New York gas company has been turned down by the public service commission on its re-| auest ‘to raise rates from $1.15 to $1.50 per thou- sand and to increase its minimum charge from 40 cents to $1 per month. : ; The investigation conducted by the commission showed that the existing rates yielded 714. per cent net profit on the investment in 1920 and that the profit this ycar will be greater.

It was made 199 years ago, in 1722, by Christofori, in- ' ventor of the pianoforte.

Wonder what kind: of new musical instruments they’ll have 199 years. hence? BOOZE Jets The battle between the wets and the drys is; raging more or less fiercely all over the world. Even Russia and Germany, faced as they are with the most vital political, financial and social | problems, are not immune. | A recent sitting of the German cabinet, discuss- ing such important questions as Silesia and repara- tions, was interrupted to take up the question of at 11:30 p. m. The regulation was abolished by a small ma- jority vote after long debate, and each state gov- ernment will now make its own regulations. In Russia the liquor question is closely bound up with government finance. Under the pressure of revenue necessity the soviet rulers have amend- ed the dry laws to permit the manufacture and sale of wines made from grapes, fruit or raisins, containing not more than 14 per cent of alcohol. The traffic will:be very heavily taxed and: is ex- pected to yield a large revenue. : Vodka is still. taboo in, Russia, although it is problematical how long the soviet regime -will re- sist the temptation to restore it for the sake if its reyenue possi Doubtléss the governor of Illinois has found that he can attend to his official business .while out: on-bail better than while resisting arrest un- der claim of immunity. 3,000,000 YEARS OLD a \ A peculiar little animal: is‘discovered in Vene- zuela by scientists from the. Field Museum, Chi- cago. They call it caenolestes. It’s about six inches long, and looks like a rat. ; The caenolestes is the oly form of animal life that has existed for- 3,000,000 years without changing its shape, size or habits. It’s the same today as its ancestors were in the Age of Fossils. It has seen giants, like the dinosaurs, come and go. The giants vanished, turned to stone, became extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago. ‘Why did the weak little caenolestes survive? Because, say scientists, it lived the simple life. The caenolestes, as it went serenely on its way, saw strange changes take place in animals as na-| ture worked out her law of evolution. It saw monkeys become men, if you believe some scientists. ‘ ; It saw the horse, once small as.a cat, grow large as‘nature prepared it to'work for man. It saw the mammoth shed its hair and become an‘elephant as the Ice Age ended and the climate hgrew warmer. It saw adventurous fish turn fins into wings and fly off as birds. It saw the giraffe grow a long neck to reach the ‘tender twigs and leaves in treetops. But the caenolestes went ahead without chang- ing, says a recent book by Dr. Wilfred H. Osgood, of the Field Museum. “The secret of its success is in the simplicity of.its requirements. It has never gone to ex-| tremes, never developed any very special. tastes or peculiarities. It never tried any experiments, never went off on a tangent and never took any chances.” Conservatives and devotees of the Simple Life will:approve of that. But, as Osgood points out, the caenolestes, by always taking the easiest and safest way, accom- plished mere existence and nothing more. It was the conservative, the reactionary, the old- \fogy of the animal world. Other forms of life took a chance. They ex- jperimented. They tried new things. They roamed the earth. : ‘And the result? They evolved into higher |types, with varying degrees of intelligence. | There you have the key to progress —the key | ' being dissatisfaction with things as they are, and | the repeal of the wartime regulation closing cafes |’ es an VVE GoTTA PAY FoR, THE- i ft Spe Goud LACE As ye show 'so shall men peep. i A Miss 18. }'good as her. smile.

He didn’t waste time “Ohing” and “Ahing”. like Cob Coon. He was an old hand at it and knew that while it was true that one should make hay while the sun shines, it is equally wise to go after corn while the moon’s dark. So off he sneaked. He knew where the best corn grew, also the biggest ears,-and in about two shakes of a bear’s tail, he: was hang- ing onto a large thick corn-stalk, tear- ing away the leaves off a nice fat ear with his long sharp bill, to get at the ‘sweet kernels beneath. ; At last he reached the delicious stuff and took a bite. “Yum! That’s good!” said he with his mouth full and dug his bill in again. : But, what was that? A faint rust- ling that came nearer and nearer. Chris couldn’t see, but he could. hear like a~telephone.

His guests were puzzled until the president explained that a make-up rule is a printer’s tool of all work.
