So did many other men— including the creators of the steam engine and the patient intellects that slowly trained men to work to- | “gether on big undertakings. 2 .. , Without all these forerunners, the Chicago building couldn’t have been moved an inch. \ !

"The principle of “the dead hand” operates all through our ‘adaily lives. We puff with vanity as we observe ‘our accom- plishments and modestly admit that we're the mightiest ‘tSgeneration ever. .

First I had six inches taken from my “neck, then I had an incision to lift the muscles of my face. ‘ey My eyebrows came next. All this took about four weeks. ~The most painful thing was having my face ironed + that ig#means putting carbolic acid and oil on the skin to, form *blisters, which are then removed to leave the new skin: un- lerneath.” + ' This verifies the old sayirlg that beauty is only skin deep. But the knowledge, .that beauty has tricks up its sleeves | such as Eva describes, is enough to make a bachelor take :the next board for a desert isle.

Roberts Barton The days got colder and colder in Squealy-Moo Land. Jack Frost and all his fary helpers went through the corn-field, sweetening up the yel- low pumpkins that grew there, und through grape arbors, coloring the grapes a rich purple and making them sweet too—and through the ap- | ple orchards, putting spice into each winter apple, so it would taste ex- tra fine, And as for the woods—they got such a. painting as never was be- fore with reds ang russets and yel- lows and browns. But Farmer thoughtful, Winter was coming and he was trying to decide which ones of the Squealy-Moo folk to sell and which ne to keep over the cold weather. Now Mister Dodger knew what was going on in Farmer Brown's mind, and he was worried. | He said so/to Nancy and’ Nick, and they talked it over and tried} to think of something to do to help Farmer Brown out of his troubles, ang.the barnyard folk as well. “Let's take a walk, and perhaps we can think better,” suggested Mis- ter Dodger, lighting his corn-silk | pipe ang putting on his corn-husk at. dangerous.

The information is to be gathered for the fire chief, to aid him in elimin- ating fire traps and to make for ef- ficiency in fire fighting. The fire department’ planned to send out the track today with signs on it calling on owners to eliminate from their property all waste mater- ial and to remove all fire hazards, ‘As a part of fire prevention week the committee made the following statement: “According to a conservative esti- mate at least 15,000 persons lost their lives in the United States last year as the result of fires.

He is just saying it to get my goat, for he has often told me that he would have been a much better man and of muchemore use to society if he had had to earn his own living. He is just wonderful to me over here.

Bv- ery addition to the monetary sup- ply would.tend to’ raise prices. The higher prices became, the higher would be the loan value of a given’ volume of goods since the size of the Joans is based on values and not volume. . The greater, there- fore, would the volume of new money that could be issued on the basis of a given annual production, Prices would become still higher; and so on up an endless ‘spiral. “Even-in Russia, where financial printing’ presses hold the world’s record for volume, where new is- of two hundred trillions of rué bles per month stagger the imagi- nation, the people complain that ‘there is not enough money to do business with.’ Without the arbi.
