Bootleggers of New York City } are offering for sale, at one dol- lar a collection, photographs of all prohibition agents stationed in the metropolitan area. The wary bartender, after carefully examining the pictures on the circular, can easily guard against arrest. Circulars are kept up to date and subscribers are suppli- ed with photographs of new agents or informed of any trans- fers on the force, Speed in travel appeals to the Chinese and thousands of Chinese take joy rides simply for pleasure. It is no uncommon thing for a poor coolie to spend his last “cash” on an automobile ride that leaves him stranded many miles from home. He is glad to trudge back complacently and is satisfied in his own mind that his money has been well spent.

Enginemen on _ locomotives when going through a_ tunnel frequently encounter heat rang- ing as high as 186 degrees with smoke and moisture-laden at- mosphere often filled with deadly carbon monoxide gas. The Bureau of Mines has experi- mented with gas masks for use of cab crews, and has perfected asmall pocket respirator for quick use when ina tunnel. <A more satisfactory method for combating the gas is to supply fresh air to the men from the air brake system on the train. A rubber tube fitted with a funnel which is held close to the face furnishes an adequate amount of air. WRONG TO STOP SCHOOL MONEY SAYS EXPERT. “The tendency of people to believe that if we don’t stop spending money for education the country will be wrecked eco- nomically, is the most ridiculous absurdium I have ever heard,” was a statement made by John J. Tigert, United States commis- sioner of education, in his as- sembly address betore the Uni- versity of Idaho student body in Moscow, Tuesday. “The people that are retrench- s jing on schools are going back-~ ward and those that are spend- ing more are going forward,” he said in citing the building of a $5,000,000 technical high schoo) in Detroit, “a regular callege in the west,” and pointing out the satisfaction of progression in the city of Detroit. “Spokane, for its size, is the greatest city I have ever visit- ed,’ Commissioner Tigert said. “There is less_ illiteracy there than in any city in the United States for its size.” Commissioner Tigert an- nounced his observation of a tendency to retrench on educa- tional expenditures in the west- ern states, and branded that tendency as entirely fallacious. “Last year in the United States the cost of all education, everywhere, federal, state, city and county, was $1,050,000,000, or one-seventy-fifth of our in- come,” said Commissioner Tigert. “Eight hundred million dollars was spent last year on cigarettes and $510,000,000 on 000 on paint and powder. “Some of the people fighting schools beliove that their child- rens’s children will still be pay- ing off our national debt unless educational expenditures are stopped. If the American people for one year would stop the use of cigars, candy, cigarettes, cos- metics and chewing gum, Wwe would wipe out our debt of twenty-two billion dollars.” WHY A WASHBOARD ROAD. The U. S. bureau of public roads, it was announced by H. W. Gregory, Idaho highway director, has assigned a nation- | ally known scientist to the task of finding out what makes a gravel highway, after it has been used several months look like a washboard. Studies made by the Idaho highway department this year indicate, Mr. Gregory said, that the little ruts across the road are caused by the impulse of the motor, which recur in cycles of four, six or eight, depending on the number of cylinders the motor has, “Of course,” he said, “these impulses can not be noticed when riding, but they are felt at the tires and recorded on the high~- way.” The department has also discovered, he said, that it does no good to attempt to smooth out these ripples with a drag. That process, he says, only loosens enough dirt to fill the ruts, and the next car starts the corruga- tions all over again. PUBLIC AUCTION.

Mr. Simmons says that one day while he was enjoying 2 very agreeable call at Mr, Herford’s studio | their conversation was interrupted by | | a peculiar knocking at the door—three loud peremptory knocks at intervals of a second or two and then two more in quick succession, Mr. Herford at once put his finger on his Mp and motioned to his caller to be perfectly quiet. Neither man spoke or stirred while the curlous knock was twice repeated, Then they heard the retreating footsteps of the knocker passing down the hall. Then Mr. Herford relaxed his at- titude of silent tension and smiled. “That was Blank,” he said, “a thor- oughly good and well-meaning fellow, but a most frightful bore. I’ve stood all the calls I can from him. So I told him that I had given special knocks to all my most intimate friends In order that I might know when they called and let them In at times when I should be unwilling to be disturbed by less congenial cfllers. Blank was saying only the other night that I must have been out a good deal lately. He hasn’t got in to see me since I as- signed him his knock !”—Youth’s Com- panion. “There's one bora ; ” every minute said Barnum = and they all run for congress Step on It!

A remarkable performance of an electric motor is reported. The motor was doing service in a mine geared to a pump, and because of the high tem- perature prevailing at the spot the motor was not inclosed, as they often are. During the winter the mine was flooded, submerging the pump and the motor to a depth of two feet. As it was necessary to continue the opera- tion of the pump, the motor was not | shut down, and for two hours it ran eer es s avivabe 7" without interruption, though being —is what you always get completely submerged, until it had ac- here. tually pumped itself clear of water.— Washington Star.
