Among the highest priced stamps sold were a 10¢ Baltimore postmaster stamp for $10,500, a 15¢ stamp of 1869 with an inverted center for $7,000, and a block of four 24c air mail stamps of 1918 with the airplane printed upside down for $12,100. In 1922 Collector Hind ~«paid the highest price in history for a sin- gle stamp—$32,500 for the only 1856 British Guiana le stamp in existence. Joan Blondell, the popular actress, has decided to be known on the gcreen in the future by her real name, Joan Barnes, If other stars follow her example, we should see Greta Garbo billed as Greta Gustafson, Jean Harlow as Harlean Car- penter, Carole Lombard as Jane Peters, Lupe Valez as Guadalupe Villalobos, Billie Dove as Lillian Bohny, Paul Muni as Muni Weisenfruenz, John Gilbert as John Prin- gle, and so on. Mary Pickford’s name was Gladys Smith up in Toronte, Canada, OUR BUSY BUREAUS. . What those government bureaus in Washington can’t think up to experiment’ and piddle with must be unthinkable. Aft er much research the Bureau of Standards recently determined the relative noise-mak- ing possibilities of a saxophone player and atap dancer. Now these learned scien- tists are investigating women’s. hose and the limbs, shapely or otherwise, which wear them. They have decided that a 30-inch length for ladies’ stockings is about right, and maybe they will pass a law‘about it. But, again, maybe not, for we read that many women are protesting against this at- tempt at standardization, saying that ‘‘in the arbitrary length some of them look like infants in. socks, while others whose legs are shorter than normal claim the stock- ings will approach their ears.” These protests naturally call for fur- ther research by the Bureau, including measurements for insteps, heel, toe, ankle and calf, to determine the exact dimen- sions appropriate for the various sizes to be officially authorized. All of which causes the New York Sun to pertinently remark that “some of the ways and means which the government finds for wasting taxpayer’s money would be funny if the deficit and the problem of | finding money for taxes were not so ser- ious.” RAISED FROM THE DEAD Barring miracles, the rescue of Wil- liam Dugan, of Philadelphia from the em- brace of death after being “drowned” and unconscious for nine hours, marks the world’s record for literally raising the dead.” Ass recorded by the press, Dugan pass- ed through all the stages of physical death from drowning, and “when taken from the water his body was blue and chilled, his heart had ceased beating, his pulse was still and there was no sign of life.” Heroic efforts by doctors, however, finally revived him after nine long hours of seemingly useless labor. When conscious- ness returned, Dugan quickly revived and described the sensations experienced as “a peaceful, dreamless sleep; a placid obli- vion, devoid of disturbances.” This incident arouses many pertinent speculations. To all-intents and. purposes, Dugan was physically dead for several hours. Without the persistent efforts of his rescuers he would have remained dead. If his only sensations were those of a peaceful, dreamless sleep,” would there have been an awakening to the pains or pleasures of a future state? Or is oblivion, after all, the end of all of those who pass on? - Every person may supply the answers according to his own beliefs. But who real- ly knowa the correct answer? WHY HE WENT CRAZY This story, with various modifications, has been doing double duty for a good while, but for the benefit of those who age chanced to run across it, we tell a ; ... an inmate of‘a lunatic asy- Esch ‘omebeing asked by a visitor how that" way, replied: “Tt all started when I married a wi- dow with a grown-up daughter. Then my -father, being a widower, married the daughter. That made my step-daughter my step-mother, and my father became my step-son; my wife also becoming the mother-in-law of her father-in-law. “Then my step-mother had a son, who was my brother, being my father's son; but as the boy was the grandson of my wife, he was also my grandson. “Then my wife and I had a son. My father’s wife is my son’s half-sister and al- so his grandmother. Now, it is easy to see that my father became my step-son by marrying my step-daughter. Therefore, being my father’s father, I am also my own | grandfather.” The visitor stopped the lunatic at this point, thoroughly satisfied as to why he went crazy. Zeeko, baby hippopotamus of the Cin- cinnati zoo, was fretful and cross a few days ago, when an examination of her mouth showed she was trying te cut some teeth. Superintendent Stephen got for her an old automobile tire to use as a teeth- ing ring, and Zeeko’s temper shortly im- 1 proved. THE KEY WEST CITizan COCR CceceeccocercosoesoEEscentenssasasseens.
