Go over there, pick a piece of shining metal out of a keg, and the carpenter will tell you it’s a “10-penny nail.” Other nails are 20- penny, 30, 40 and so on. : “Penny,” in connection with nails, is a measure of size. ; Originally, it designated the price per hundred. Thus a “10-penny” nail meant one that cost 10 cents a hundred, wholesale. ‘ The name has lost its old meaning, because to- day you can buy the nails dirt-cheap. Yet years ago the price was not considered high, for pre- viously buildings were put together with hard wooden pegs. Maybe’ you’ve noticed them when an ancient house was torn down. In the name of the “10-penny nail,” you have the key to the whole scheme of modern life —| medical science would be able to adjust the pitui- cheap prices, made possible by quantity produc- tion. Nearly all of man’s important productive inven- tions were discovered within the last 200 years. For thousands of years before that, human muscles were in a gencral sense the only im- portant machinery. Caligula, ‘speridthrift Roman emperor, at his banquets served tongues of birds, brought from great distances by relays of the swiftest runners, at tremendous expense. There is no demand today for bird tongues, to tickle the palate. If there were, this ancient deli- cacy would be put up in big canning plants or rushed in refrigerator cars by fast express. The price would be extremely low, compared with Caligula’s time. For instance, a few cents will buy you a package of dates brought from Arabia, a box of leechee nuts from China or a tin of crabmeat from Japan. \ Wouldn’t it be interesting to turn: the clock ahead 200 years and see what the steady: expan- sion of quantity production leads to by: then? _ It is not at all improbable that an airplane some day may sell for a few dollars. This may seem ridiculous, but no more so than a suggestion that a watch might some day sell for $1, would have seemed only a few centuries ago when time-pieces were so prohibitively high-priced that only kings and the very wealthy could afford them. Expensive luxuries of today are the cheap ne- cessities of tomorrow. Standard of living stead- ily advances—but only by increased production. HAUNTING TUNES What has become of “Over There,” “Tipperary” and the other martial tunes that were so popular ; during the war? You rarely hear them any more. When you do, chances are, some one yells out to turn the record over or put on some jazz. | With Memorial Day coming, there will be a re- vival of “Dixie,” “Marching Through Georgia”, and other songs that call up in memory the Civil War. Musicians are wondering what particular song) Americans will always associate with the World War. _ The interesting possibility looms, that they will not remember any song in this connection— The popular song during the Revolutionary cess of his creations was so immense that he al-| War was “Yankee Doodle.” After nearly a cen- tury and a half it’s “still going strong.” ° |world—in the time of roses. at any rate. “Hail, Columbia!” was first sung April 25, 1798, /are people who have a finicky distaste for this by a young actor named Fox, in Philadelphia’s ‘favorite: variety, but the popular vote is against Chestnut street theater.

The Spanish-American War dug up the old- timers, including “Hot Time In the Old Town To- night.” This gem,. however, dates back to the Chicago fire, which it commemorated. The war with Spain produced no song typical of its period —possibly because so many of the singers died of malaria, “yellow jack” and embalmed beef. “Maybe some one, later on, will burst forth with Editor national complex is to keep the war buried in with their part in the World War. The chances, however, are against it, for the memory. It is dawning on people that modern war is ‘nothing to sing about. Which is a good thing. | War is being stripped of its band-playing, ‘catchy melodies, flag waving and. other hypnotic devices of organized militarism. Get rid of war’s glitter and glamor, expose it ‘in its hideous nakedness—and “drumming up a war” will not be so easy for the diplomats. That is the tendency—not only in the United States, but all over the world. ‘ SWINDLES A ‘familiar old vat'is dragged into the open again. Congressman Denison, advocating his national “blue sky law,” says Americans lose $500,000,000 a year on worthless securities. It is a deplorable large sum, and any effort to lessen it is commendable. However, based on the combined income of all Americans in normal times, $500,000,000 of plunder yearly means that, on the average, swin- dlers get only $1 out of each $70 of our income. We are swindled out of many times that, much by the trickery of some: so-called “legitimate” business transactions. Interest centers on the deliberate swindler because he doesn’t give us a run for our money. fa ‘ DIKL-DIKI j Diki-Diki, prince of Ubiah-island in the Philpi- pines, says he will give his ‘fortune to any girl of his size who will marry him. Since it’s a considerable.fortune, some young la- dies will be interested inthis ‘size: ~"Diki-Diki is three feet four inches tall. He would, prefer not being a dwarf. {rem io pa E If he could have been born'a generation later, tery gland in his brain, thus making him of nor- mal height.

MAKES FOR DEEP ROOTS ° The grudging spring makes deep. roots. and \hardv plants. The idea, allegorically, should com- fert progressives who are discouraged by the reactionary swing of the pendulum. é It appears personally.. Hard obstacles, early in a man’s career, give him deep roots and build up his fighting strength for later battles. Great careers start early in life,.as preparation. ‘When John D. Rockefeller was a bookkeeper work- ing for $35 a month, he was learning to manage and finance his giant business of after-years. Like doctors in medical college, much that we are doing now will not be “cashed in on” until later. ’ yeti RIA : » 1922 THRILL d As young couple are married in an airplane, hal a mile above New York City.

By Olive Barton Roberts King Courageous, the real king of the Korsknotts and the Diddyevvers, spokekindly to Nancy and Nick. “My dears,” said he; “it is due to your bravery and wits that I have been re- leased from :the spel] that bound me. And thanks to you, a‘so, my son, the prince, and his sweetheart, ‘Princess Therma, have been :azde happy, for they will be married, 4 “Now’l shall give you your choice f three wishes. - First, ig you so de- sire; you may stay here and live hap- pily with me in the Castle af Mirrors, which is my real home. .Nick shajl have a-horse that shines like gold and goes like the wind, and ‘Nancy shall have a pony'that chines: like silver-and. goes like! lightning.

Besides, I must decide what to do with these two imposters, King Indig and King Verdo. They, too, must. 'be punished.” “Do “we have to itake one of the three wishes, or may we make a wish of or own?” asked Nancy. “Anything you like, my dear,” smiled :King Courageous, “Phen,” said 'Nancy brightly, “please don’t punish az.ybody, and let Nick and me go home in our Green Shoes.

It’s pronounged—le-ga-shun, accent on the nd syllable. It -means—the place of business or official residence of a diplomatic min- ister at a foreign ‘court or seat of government; in common parlance uscd in dist'nction from “embassy,” the official residence of an ambas- sador, r minister f the highest rank. An embassy is a legation, since an ambassador is a minister; but a lega- tion is not necessarily an embassy, inasmuch as it may not be occupied by a minister of an ambassador's rank. _ It comes from—legate, which in turn is frm Latin “legatus,” to depu- tize, the minister heing deputized to represent his government. It's uscd’ like this—“The foreign powers have sent marines to Peking to guard their legations against attack.” _ CHILDREN IN SPRING TIME Mrs, C. Osborn, 7812 Hillside Rd., Cleveland, O., writes: “My grand- daughter was troubled with a cough for nearly two years. She took Foley’s Honey and Tar and her cough is now gone. It loosened the phlegm so she could raise it easily.” Foley's Honey and Tar is just what children should have for feverish colds, coughs “snuf- fles” and tight, wheezing breathing. Be sure to get Foley's. It checks crowp and whooping cough, too. with Oldest rocks known are said to be more than 1,500,000,000 years old.
