LASSEN DAY ~"Recent ¥ torial tariff discussion has 4 : One oil company bought an acre of land in the foreground of an oil field. It di- vided the acre into lots and the lots into units of 10 feet square. The promoters then got a real estate license, and sold the little tracts at $500 each, and provided that To W.

In moderation, as an exercise, golf is the most scientific sport | @ver devised. It combines the ben- of long-distance walking with the swinging-on-the-ball that brings nearly every muscle of the bedy into play. The connection between golf and the proverbial ; health of the Scotch may be closer than any of us dream. { Good golf courses, available to the public at low cost, are needed gs much as good roads—possibly more. Golf may be the magic tonic for civilization’s ills caused by lack of exercise, It may also 4 prove to be the safety valve for % the high nervous tension that is gripping so many of us. 5 A puzzie of ancient origin deals with an innkeeper, who had only 10 | j beds to take care of 11 guests. He | 4 accommodated ther an follows: He put two in the first bed with the understanding that the second should have a bed to himself after a brief interval; he put the third in the sec- ond bed, the fourth in the third bed, And #0 on, the tenth being placed tn the ninth bed. Thus he had one bed left, which the eleventh man, now sleeping double in the first bed, was invited to occupy. It is clear that a fallacy exists somewhere in this arrangement. Figure it out, The Solution will be printed tomorrow. Yesterday's Solution: Find all pos. sible relative arrangements of seven | objects, which is 5,040 $500. Vancouver judge rules the lot holder would participate in the future fabulous riches of the property to the He would receive seven-sixteenths to one-eighth royalty of the oil | found. On the basis of a 10,000-barrel well, the investor would receive approximately Clever scheme, isn’t it? You'll notice that the company SOLD the lots, too. Now and then you read of a bargain counter clerk who rides to riches on oil stock, you hear less of the thousands who lose all their money. You are told of the lad ‘who wins on a 100-to-1 shot at the races, while the suckers who didn't keep silent.

We recommend the following get-rich-quick scheme as far more safe and sane than Jump off the county-city building for a purse of $1,000, About one in a thousand take a leap like that and live; the other 999 would die. But it’s a good gamble to oil. There’s a better chance to win. And the movie producers might glad to put up the purse. poker is not a game of chance; but it depends upon whom you're playing with, ‘According to the flapper, it is better to have bobbed hair than to be lonely. Staying on your toes is much better than getting on your ear. The man who says what he thinks never talks much. Women Outlive Men Anyhow The Psalmist wrote: “The days ef our years are three score years and ten, and if by reason of strength, they be four score yers °° David, however, did not foresee automobiles, dances, cabarets, bootleg, and other accessories of modern Jazz life, and so the aver. age man and his wife no longer live from 70 to #0. Instead the census bureau finds that life tables for the states in- dicate an average of 53.98 years for white males, 56.33 years for white females, 40.14 years for men Megroes and for negre women 42.16 years. But conditions are tmproving. ‘The 1910 life tables averaged only 50.23 years for white men, 53.6% years for white women, 34.05 years for negro men and 37.67 years for negro women. If this tendency continues, the census for 1940 may show that our years again approach three score and ten. The strange thing to me ts that many of the finer clothe have dropped, particularly in this coun- try, more than 50 per cent since the peak of 1919 and 1920, but you do not find the price of a suit of clothes reduced in the same pro- portion.
