CAN RESTORE LIBERTY BELL) | Metallurgists Confident of Their Abili- | ty to Make Precious Revolutionary Relics Good as New.” Metallurgists whose authority | cannot be denied assert that they | are able, if the American people de- | sire it, by means of the electrical welding process now in daily indus- | trial use, not only to obliterate the | big crack in the Liberty Bell, but to stop the disintegration of the bell’s material, which, if allowed | to go on, in time will utterly de stroy this precious relic. | There is, of course, something at- tractive in the proposal to make the | old bell as good as new, so that it can be rung aguin on sufficiently | great occasions, but after all, when thus renovated, it would not be the | bell a lot of us have seen and a lot | more have viewed as pictured. Its solution of continuity has become | so familiar that the removal of it} would cause a real sense of loss, | and—well, the Liberty Bell did its | work, so why not let it rest? As it is, the bell will last our} time and that of not a few genera- | tions still te come. By the way, it would be interest- ing to know just how many Ameri- | cans still believe that Liberty Bell was cracked by the wild ringing it received in celebration of independ- | ence declared. That is a pretty | myth, but as a matter of fact the bell remained whole and in service for nearly 60 years after the day that made it famous. SEX RIVALRY A SCHOOL AID | Girls and Boys Do Better Work When They Are in Mixed Classes, Englishman Asserts. Is the schoolgirl of today more susceptible to masculine influence than was the case nine years ago? This is suggested by the analysis of examination results undertaken by the Middlesex (Eng.) education committee that girls in mixed schools do much better than those at girls’ schools. B. S. Gott, secretary to the Mid- | diesex education committee, said he | was entirely in favor of mixed schools, and that the system was go- | ing to be much developed in Middle- | sex. “While it has been found that | boys work as well in mixed schools | as in boys’ schools, girls work 20 | per cent better at mixed schools,” he said. “The reason is partly be- | cause the presence of boys gives them a desire to emulation, and they want | to show what they can do. Also they are not so liable to giggle or talk and so waste time. “I found in the records of one year that the boys worked, too, bet- ter at mixed schools than at purely boys’ schools. Girls seem to get sounder views when working with boys, too. Girls are much neater and tidier than boys, and they tend to make the boys tidier, also.” —) ON HER HAND. The other evening I attended a theater with a man friend. Just as we were leaving I noticed that I was holding only one glove in my hand, so we went back to look for the other. Several ushers aided us | in the search, and also a number of men who were still in the theater. When the search seemed entirely useless, picture my embarrassment and consternation when one of the ushers exclaimed: “Why, you have a glove on your hand and are holding one!” It was true. We made a hasty exit amid the laughter of all present.—Exchange. A CHILD'S REPROOF. He was a kind husband, and one of his favorite ways of teasing his wife was to tell her which of the women of their acquaintance he | would select as her successor when she died. He went even further than | this one day; he called his little | daughter to him and said: “Made line, how would you like to have a stepmother 7?” The child considered a moment, then, turning away, she replied: “T think I’d much rather have a | stepfather.”—Boston Transcript. TREES ON WALL OF CHINA. Trees and shrubs have grown in the earth that has accumulated on | top of the great wall of China, some of the trees being 20 feet in height. It was the beauty of these volun- teer trees that gave rise to the move- ment to plant trees along the great drive that is to be developed on the site of the famous old wall.

This decline is an extraordinary effort on the part of the manufacturers and ourselves to stabilize bus- Through co operation of Majestic Dealers and the factory this exceptional decline was decided on at this time, rather than gradual reduc- tions throughout the year. Those familiar with continued high costs of iron and labor, will wonder how this great reduction can be made now, but some one had to take the initiative, to announce that the Majestic people are setting the pace. The Majestic Manufacturing Co., and the Majestic take their loss all at one time rather than string it out over the entire year 1921. In the New Model Great Majestic we offer the highest standard of range perfection, and with this extra low price, probably lower than it will be this fall, there is no reason why your kitchen should be without one of these wonderful ranges.

Mrs. Mary Eastman of this city has received from the U. S. government between $500 and $600 back pension, due her late husband, J. W. Eastman, for service in the Nezperce Indian war. In addition, she will re- ceive a monthly pension of $12. John Chase brought in two dressed hogs to the John Callan market today that tipped the beam at 386 and 405 pounds each. The head of one of the porkers weighed 48 pounds and the other 50. At 14 cents per pound they brought Mr. Chase $100.74.

Dutch Lifesavers sald to Defy the of the, Highest Waves. the life-saving crew which works in stormy waters along the Dutch through which the water is drawn by an intake pipe which leads to by a 140-horsepower steam engine. The water is then ferced backward into the sea through two outlet pipes opening at the bottom of the craft. The boat is controlled by shutting off, either wholly or in part, one or the other of these outlet pipes. If one is shut off it goes to starboard ; if the other it goes to port. If both were shut off and the water diverted harmlessly over the sides while the suction goes on at the intake, it is claimed the boat reste almost still in the stormiest of seas, the suction holding it firmly on the water. The Dutch lifesavers have found that this craft keeps steadier than any boat propelled with oars or by screws. It is 58 feet long, and has a capacity for from 40 to 100 pas- sengers, depending upon the state of the sea. It has been in use for some time and has saved many lives. HAVE STRICT SOCIAL RULES Etiquette Among Savage Races of Northern Rhodesia Declared Elab- orate in the Extreme, A recently published work on the backward race of northern Rhodesia, alluding to the stringent rules of etiquette obtaining in those parte, explains that, among other restric- tions, a Mu-ila man may not eat at his father-in-law’s place unless the latter presents him with a hoe; neither may he touch the pumpkin of his wife’s father unless the latter offers him « portion of it. More- over, a man’s relations in law may not address him by name, or sit by his side, or relieve him of any load he happens to be carrying. Evi- dently those who imagine that elab- orately developed laws of etiquette are to be found mainly with the more exalted elements of society in a highly advanced state, and that by returning to primitive conditions such incumbrances may be avoided, are laboring under a serious delu- sion. TENDER HEARTED. “You know,” said th fat plumber, “I hate to kill any living creature, but I just had to kill a rat the other day.” ‘How was that?” the thin car- penter encouraged. “To save it from dying from chagrin.” “I don’t gettcha.” “This rat had been spending about all its time for a week or s0 digging through one of our cellar walls.” “Uh huh—” “And I just couldn’t bear to think of it finishing the job and thinking it had reached the open air, and then finding it had just tunneled into another room.”—Youngstown Telegram. WATERPOWER DEVELOPMENT. The geological survey estimates, as of January, 1920, that there is produced in the United States an average of 1,200,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity by waterpower and an average of 1,800,000,000 kilowatt hours of elecricity by fuel. Of the total amount of electric pow- er produced, therefore, about 40 per cent is waterpower and the balance fuel power. These figures are for consumption in public utilities, and do not include power for manufac- turing or in private plants for light and power otherwise used. STOVE FOR THE POCKET. A small spirit stove, which will burn liquid fuel and yet may be car- tied in bag or pocket without leak- ing, is a new convenience. The wick is in contact with an asbestos pad into which the spirit soaks by capillary attraction. WAS THAT THE REASON? Church—What in the world does that man Sly go to church for, any- way?
