Neyer in the history of American industry has} there been such productive activity. Basie indus. tries such as iron and steel, textiles, leather and the like are running capacity. The phrase “run ning capacity” means today from fifty to one hun dred per cent greater output than running capac- ity in pre-war times meant. This is because dur. ing the war practically every basic industry in creased its capacity at least fifty per cent. Some doubled their acity.

There has been so much comment on the prayer delivered before the Colorado house of representatives on February sth by the chaplain, Rev. J. R. Rader, that the exact wording may, be of interest to the people cf other states. Following is the correct version as furnished by Mr. Rader, himself: ““Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ saith the Lord of Hosts. We fear our nation has ruled God out of its reckoning. We are building our barns larger and storing our goods for many days and saying to our souls, ‘Eat and be merry,’ while Lazarus still sits at our gates unfed. Our farmer. on whom we de- pend for bread and butter, is facing bankruptcy while the middleman waxes fatter and fatter. Our fire- sides are being deserted, while im- moral picture shows are crowded with our young peop'e. Many of our churches are converted into social clubs, and many of our ministers have crowded Christ out of the pulpit and are giving the people Uterary es- says for the gospel. We have pushed Christ to the back and have pressed on His brow a crown of greed and crucified Him on a ‘cross of gold. Many of out courts are corrupted. and many of our officers are being bribed.

Thoughts that will blossom into life} Our Manufacturing Department The Radiator Concert Nd When next you visit one of apartment dwelling friends and oes hostess says, ‘sh-s,’ suddenly and adds “listen a minute, we're going to have a raditor concert,” don't snick- er at her error. Probably she means just that. For radiator concerts are days. Quite the thing these musical ‘The radiator concert was a discov- ery of the babes-in-the studio apart- ment. And they owe it all to the Janitor, or perbaps to the coal short- For otherwise they would not have had to spend the winter turn- ing alternate ears to the radiator in tho hope that there might be a thaw. The babies, by the way, are waiting until spring to explore the studio and see whether they want to live in it. So only one expedition has been made from the comparatively torrid zone, where the temperature seldom goes below freezing. That was the time the hebabe went into the far corner of the room after a pair of shoes. He was rescued after a perilous sally with a dog’ team. When they first heard the canary singing in the coll of pipes they were nonplussed. For a long time the he babe insisted that it was merely a new noise made by the steam as it went away—the steam is always go- ing away, But finally he had to admit that the steam would never have strength enough for aM those trills and flute notes. The she-babe, on the other hand, insisted from the first that it was a canary, but inclined to the belief that it had got into the pipes somehow and was freezing to death. Finally one day when the superin- tendent came in and stood in the cen- ter of the room fanning himself and saying how warm it was getting “That's Miz Bumpus’ canary down stairs," he sald. “You all hear it through the pipes.” And so, indeed {t was. They dis- cavered that when the phonograph began to play. For a radiator concert you need only a radiator—it does not even have to have steam in {t—and a musical neighbor on the same pipo line. Then you sit back quietly and let the laws of physics take their course. It is less trouble than the radio and you don’t have to wear rubber ear muffs. The entertainment offered by the concerts is almost limitlessly varied. Given a good bradcasting neighbor and you will never get discussions of the cotton market or lectures on the future of the synthetic milk indus- try. Instead you will get only the mest inspiring of monologues of Mrs. Pumpus about the heat, that was (pos- sibly was) from which you can learn many new things to say when it is your turn to talk to the superinten- dent, and those stimulating conversa- tions between your neighbor and her friend which you really should be gentleman or lady enough not to lis- ten te and whatever sort of music she has on tap. One of the biggest advantages of the radiator over the radio is its re- lative freedom from static interfer- jence. If your neighbor is close enough lto the radiator—and she will be—and you are close enough to yours—a re- quirement which you, also, will not fail—there is almost nothing that can come between you. Now and then there will be the slow thumping noise of receding steam but that really is rather pleasant. One is reminded of the tom-tom motif in ‘Emperor Jones.” The babes in the studio apartment have heard that Mrs: Bumpus is go- ing to give a dance before long. They will have theirs the same night. But they can’t decide whether to call it a “Radiator Ball” or merely say “mu- sic by radiator” on the invitations. ———>——— Our Wee Baby Dear .

The birds which has Silver Handles on their Mahogany Wrappers are layed away under a Wreath of Orch'ds in Fu'l Dress Clothes with a Livy in their Hand and a Hired Orchestra and Prominent Citizens and Civic clubs to make the Proceedings Pleeysant. And I notace these babies are most- ly of the Permanently Cooked Order. They are as Friendly as a. Step-Moth- er-in-Law, and as easy to take as a dose of Paris'an Green. “Most of these guys are Live Wires for fair—you sertain'y can not Touch them! How- jever, this is not very German to the subject, as we say in the Ruhr dis- trict. Well, it is some years ago that T make this Flying Visit to the Poor Fish Hatchery, as I am saying. There is a family where I live then that have a Magnificent Moron on ‘the premises, which is a Second Cousin or something. Anyway, this baby is not all There. He is not entirely Crazy, because one day when a Infernal Revenue Agent comes to search their house for Tuegible Booze and {s just bending over sniffling at a old Keg which is standing in the cel'ar, this Bird gives him a Swift Kick; and it 1s my claim that @ guy which will do this has got Some Cents, anyway. How- ever, he is not a guy which anybody wil say is ever going to tax the In- genuity of a Allenist to Diagnose him; He does not try to Catch His Own Thumb and all, but hé is nevertheless off, his brains is a trifle Loose and is evidently Not Packed very well for Shipment. Well, this family which Owns and Operates the Magnificent Moron is going away for the summer one time to a Summer Resort where Half-wits is not Catered to to any great extent, so finally they figure they will Com- mit this bird to a nice quiet State Institution while they are gone, and will then get him Out when they re- turn. So they get a bunch of Com- mittment Papers and make some ar- Tangements with a Gray Matter In- firmary, and everything {is arranged to have the Keepers call for him the day they leave. However, for some reason, the Keepers do not call. Well, they are about to go to the train, Reader, and as their house is near where I am living and they are {Old Friends of the Family and all, they rush over at the last Minnit and say to me, “Take this Bird Down to the Asylum at Boobyhurst for us, Will You,” they say? Great Favor,” they say, Keepers do not Call for him. He is Perfectly Harmless, and as Tractable a Tractor,” they insist. Well, Reader, they are in a jam at that, because they must leave on their train, and I do not ever know this Baby to be Violent; so finally I agree. I go over and get Ethelbert (which is the name the Goofy guy is Christened with—and anybody which is named Ethelbert has a right to be crazy at that!) and I take him along with me, putting the Committment) papers in my s‘de pocket. We have got to take a train to Boobyhurst, and the Joint where Re BY JOHN HANDSHAKER (Alas Weed Dickinson.) Special Casper Correspondent.

He ts explaining the Fourth Dimension to me, I remem- ber, and Einsteins Theory of Rela- tives, among other things, and he does it very well, too. I am really quite surprised. Well, we get to the door and I tell the leader of All Baba’s Forty Thteves which is driving the Taxi- Cheater to wait, because I will be right out after I talk with the War- den, -I tell him. However I do not get right out! Just as I ring the bell and the di opens, Ethelbert—which has been” standing as quiet as a broken down sheep, reaches with one hand and grabs the commitment papers out of my'side pocket. Then he gives me a shove. that nearly lands me on my face in the hall, and he throws the Committment papers in after me. “Here,” he says to the guy which opens the door, “this guy thinks he is John Handshaker, but he isn't. “I am Handshaker,” he sa: “Hi name's Ethelbert,” he says, “and he is sure Cuckoo.’ Keep him for a while until I get back,” this bird bellows, “I got a important business engagement in Wall Street.” Well, the last I see of Ethelbert as the door shuts he is driving away in the Taxi, smoking a big Cigar. I start for the door, but the Door ‘Fender is a big bird with a Mitt like a Meat Hook, and he Grabs me. “Lemme go,” I tell him, “I am John Handshaker, and I bring that Goofy guy down here to be Incar- nated for a time.” “Sure,” the Door Tender says, “you are John Handshaker. Come on back and see Julius Caeser—he's just hav- ing a Conference with Napoleon in the back room. Come on and sea Cleopatra,” he says, shifting his hold from a Hammerlock to a Half Ne! son. “She's a good Broad,” he say: “but you gotta be careful she doesn’t bite your ear. She thinks ears ts very Tasty,” he says. Well, Reader, I see I am in Bad, but I try to act as Sane as poss'ble. I stop Raving and Pulling to get away, and I smile and say {t is a Nice Day, and let’s Reason this out.
