If captured, many would pay #5 to see it. The financial possibilities are enough to bring P. T. Barnum, and Tody Hamilton, his master press agent, | back from the dead... fa) ms The blue whale, largest reature on earth, is 90 feet long and weisht “75! tonsat maturity. It is several times as larg: the Patagonian monster, yet few would pay 10 cents to see it in the ocean where it exists. by. thousands. From this, learn: that life is bo¥esome, that people are interested inthe, unusual,.-the:exceptional. Offer peoplésoinéthing they haven’t got, or do the old thing in a unique way, and you can namé your own price. Barnum’s circus had wonderful horses doing the heavy work outside the tent. Few except! farmers gave them a second glance The crowd, however, fought to get into the side- show to see ‘‘A-horse with its head where its tail ought to be’? That promised the unusual, some- thing to break the monotony. In exchange for| their dimes, the spectators merely saw a horse| hitched with its tail in the manger. They ‘‘took it good-naturedly,’’ for the exper- ience gave what they were after, though in un- expected form—a ‘good laugh. © Are you a student of ‘psychology—human na- ture? If so, much food for thought in a blue whale arousing less interest than the smaller Pata- gonian lizard-monster Man is most curious about things that do not exist, or that he doubts the existence of. The things| that .excite us most usually are imaginary. Tow often have you become ‘‘all het up’”’ about} somne imaginary thing, only to find that it doesn’t exist, that you heard the facts incorrectly or had the wrong idéa? * The appeal of imagination is so strong that peo- ple strain their gullibility, attempting to turn the imaginary into the real. Be thankful for that. It is what makes progress. Man learned to walk on his hind legs, and grad- ually turned his fore legs into arms, according to evolutionists. 2 That was.an achievement. But a few men among the many imagined they could fly like the bird. That imagination. has been turned into fact—the flying machine. cae | GOLD The South African revolt, killing hundreds, or-/ iginated in a dispute over how much labor, is to! get as its share in-the mining of gold... Wherever |} there’s gold, there’s trouble. To obtain gold, men freeze ath in Klondike, perish of thirst;4n the destat.. Sis the greatest destroyer of woman’s virtue and man’s honor. The universal desire for it creates the greed that] joicing, because the thing that is being saved is gold, the hypnotist. \ Out of each 2,000 pounds of coal mined, only 76 pounds are actually converted into mechanical energy. The rest of the heat value is lost, mostly up the chimney. If gold were escaping instead of energy, inventors soon would stop the wdste. PAYING If we want to continue exporting to Great Brit- ain, which normally takes a fourth of our ex- ports, we must accept goods instead of money in payment. So says Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador at Washington. Imports have their objections. But, cornered the majority of the world’s gold, we must having jbarter goods for goods, Either that, or retire from foreign trade, or trust customers forever. WIZARDRY A flying airplane talks to a racing auto, by radio- phone. This is at Farmingham, Mass. The eonnection was so good that the motorist even heard the air-pilot’s teeth chatter. This tells you something of the aceuracy of the wireless wave. It is man’s greatest conqueror of space and location, messages flying true to their mark despite constant and rapid shifting of posi- tion by sender and receiver. i A power like that has tremendous possibilities for practical thin ng? rit b BUGGIES If you'think the young folks are going to rack and ruin, take heart, from an article circulated by the social morality*department of the W. C. T.U. } The writer suggests that auto joyriders are not worse than the previous, generation, that took buggy rides: by ‘moonlight; “Atso)°that*diineing | cheek-to- eHeck hady a counter-part in the old‘time kissing game, ‘‘postoffice.’’ a Babies are born just as pure now as they ever were. What they develop into depends on parents. It is the older generation, not the young one, that needs a shake-up. WASTE Inefficient operating methods. cause a loss of more than $100,000,000 a year to American hos- pitals. This is éstimated in Chicago at a conference of hospital experts. You hear the same charges about every other Lranch of human activity, whenever there’s a na- tional trade conference. Exaggerated? Possibly. But they emphasize the possibility of economy. Our natural resources have been drained—in some cases, like forests, are neat extinction. The key..to. Suture..wealth isthe elimination of waste and duplication of energy. RENT Prohibition Commissioner Haynes says there’ll be no floating bar-rooms just beyond the three- mile ocean limit if he can stop it ; An odd angle to this is that the foating bar- room has no rent to pay. Could the system be widely used to beat the landlord? Grocery stores on wheels, visiting homes with stocks of goods, have been tried out in many citics. Those that have failed in this venture say failure iwas due to the housewife’s objection to neighbors knowing what she was ordering for her family. In shopping at a store, there’s more privacy, no general convention of neighbors. fe u The governor of Kansas. says. March.22.will be no-tobacco day.

The saving probably will not exceed several thousand dollars a year. But there’s much re- jnounced bad by eight jurors and it had escaped! of certain organizations interested in purifying the stage, to have a jury of twelve, chosen out of a panel of 300, see and vote on all questéonable per-! formances. The managers agree to withdraw the play or to delete the objectionable portions, with- out further contest, if it is condemned by a vote of nine to three. What a grand advertisement it would be to announce that a show had been pro- condemnation by only one vote. The authors, producers and managers can keep their plays clean, if they so desire. They need} no jury to decide whether a word, a line, a’scene| or a plot is so plainly suggestive of evil that it might as well be blatantly set foth. They know, whether a performance has real merit or whether | it is simply indecent. Channing Pollock of the} Dramatists’ league, says there are only four or) five salacious plays now being exhibited. By that | admission’ there is no need of any jury to declare | those shows unfit. i Neither this jury plan nor an. official censor- | ship is‘necessary. The police have power in any city to suppress a manifestly indecent exhibition and prosecute the exhibitors. © When there is! judge and determine the quéstion—St. Paul Pio-| neer Press. . FRIDAY.

Pull as hard as you can.” “I did,” answered Nick, giving an- other tug, “but it’s no use. The hard- er I pull away the more the feather seems to bold me. I wish J’d listened to Pim Pim. He told me not to touca anything on the Electric Mountain.” It was true. The big magnet, shap- ed like a horseshoe, held the red feath- er (which was steel, as you|know, be- ing a quill out of the furious falcon) as though it were glued to it, and, in turn, Nick’s fingers were sticking as hard to the red feataer. “You'll have to take the record, Nancy, and go on alone to the Land of the Diddyevvers. I'll have to stay here.” “I won't go without you,” declared faithful Nancy. And so for a while it looked as thought the adventures of the Twins aad come to a sudden end and they would spend the rest of tueir lives on the top of the Electric Moun- tain with the criss-cross “wires spit- ting out electric sparks all about them. But suddenly the featherydropped to the ground, 3 |doubt, the courts are oper, with full authority to| “Well, I declare!” said an astonish. ed voice. “I’ve lost my temper.” The Voice was so good-riatured that the Twins were. puzzled at the words, M. ead and’ Mrs, Ed.

By WINONA WILCOX “The world needs a new morality, writes a “T am madly in love with a married’ man. He loves me, but unless we break the laws, we must remain perfectly wretched. He has no possible cause for divorce. But our love has its right”—etc., etc. _ Those who consider the old morality still workable for the general and in- dividual good will appreciate another letter which shows what goes on in the mind of a wife when a too-roman- tic husband ‘yields to forbidden charms. e “T have seen many complaints from girls who love married men and. who swear they can’t live without, another woman’s husband, but never have I seen one from a young mother who has been cheated. : “T am such a wife and mother.
