E. Griffin, photographer t in Monroe, La. So Griffin rigged up an affair that ex- i ploded a flashlight and snapped a camera shutter when the cash register drawer was opened. He got a good pic- ture of the thief. Shrewd business men will see in this a suggestion for the office or factory with a safe tempting to burglars. Tn most cases the flashlight alone would do the work scare away the intruder, under the belief that a burglar alarm had been set off. Banks and business firms might use a similar device, eliminating the flashlight, for daylight hold-ups. The i camera. could be worked by the cashier pressing a button, @ bulb or lever with his foot. i Tt wouldn't stop a hold-up, but it would provide the i police with ample identification of the crook. The fright- if ened victim rarely is able to remember a good description ff of the thief. Lack of such description is generally the worst handicap the police have. If you are ever held up, the most important thing is to study the bandit’s build, walk and physical peculiarities that will help identify him. F HE SAID IT SERIOUSLY 7 Nine men out of ten in this house are indebted to somebody. Do not forget. I have been married nearly 50 years, and Iam still indebted to my mother-in-law.—Representative Pordney leh, £ The easiest way to run across your friends ig to need a shave so ; badly you try tg dodge t t " carl eta ae 7 President Harding evidently figured he needed some New blood in his cabinet, eh, Harry? Our language tickles. Being down tn the mouth gets one up In the air. A bigamist says he married twice because he Is crazy. We agree. There is so much weather it all can't be good. New Faces for the Zoos Folks directly concerned with city zoos thruout the country are all stirred up over the proposition to add cer- tain domesticated animals to the collections. It has been discovered, in the larger cities, that, while most every child can tell how far an elephant can jump, or how lon it takes a banana to journey down a giraffe’s neck, about 50 per cent of them never saw a cow, a sheep, or a pig. It is like keeping the children posted on “the dead ages” and ignorant of Chicago English, for instance. There is some virtue in the proposition. City folks have Something to learn of the cow, sheep and pig. Beside, these animals would pay their way in any zoo. But, if any such additions are made to the zoos, we are going to demand space for the great American arctomys monax, more familiarly known to our editorial staff as the ground-hog. Early in every February, the whole country considers him. He is cussed and bet on, and his domestic proceedings carried by press associations. Some folks _ ven put in crops in accord with his moods. No other _ animal on earth receives half such general attention, And yet not one citizen in a million ever saw him. Still, he is @asy to catch, if you can reach far enough into a hole ‘and pull hard enough on a hind leg, and, as a zoo captive, he would become fat, happy and innumerable. His ap- é ce In every zoo would mean moral uplift, . too, wouldn't be so many fellows thruout the country. lying about his shadow in February. i ——_—______ : We talk about red: et ean e a Preparedness for the evil day. Let me tell yo thing that is better than cannon, better than hose more poe eenpres warching armies; it is credit. A great, wealthy nation, free of debt, owing nothing, situated as we are, can fight a great war better because of that condition than she can with a great navy or a great army and an enor- mous debt.—Senator Reed (D.), Mo.

New-Fashioned Nonsense The good, old-fashioned virtues are all very well in a ‘woman, but—they don’t win’ husbands. What will? Charm. Girls shouldn’t be afraid to lead men on. Thus saith Mrs. Woodward’ Boyd, authoress of a novel now “the rage” amongst readers of “best sellers.” And _ it is a nice mess of deceitful rot to spread before the youth of the country! The old-fashioned virtues are modesty, womanliness, helpfulness and ability to do something more than suck ‘ ets, jazz and expose five different colors of silk stockings a day. The fellow of sense who approaches marriage with honest intentions demands such old-fashioned virtues above all else. He has, asa rule, become so familiar with the “charm” that he knows that if it is not wholly arti- ficial, it surely counts little in the carrying-on of a happy Marital career, In the vast majority of cases where the fellow has succumbed to mere charm, or been led on, the finale is a divorce case, or infidelity of one or both of the _ parties.

He flies 235 miles an hour. That is almost four miles a minute. Within our generation fliers probably _ will make 1,000 miles an hour.
