Thrifty Man Spends
in Right Direction
“I've hlown in $5,000,” remarked the
cheap-looking fellow as he figured
with a stub’ pencil on the back of 8
dirty envelope.
“Must have had a heck 0” a time”
suggested a member of the party,
“Just to have $5,000 to blow in would
glve me a kick.”
“No. I never had the $5,000 at once
and I didn’t get any kick out of fit,
The best I ever got was a $10 kick
and mostly it was quarters and half
dollars. I just figured that I blew
this $5,000 in during the last ten
years. It averaged about $10 a week.
Not much of a good time out of $10.”
The old-time spender’s story has a
‘esgon in it, It 1s easy to spend ten
$10 bills separately, But if you have
the ten bills all at once, the $100 isn't
ij0 easily blown in.
A $100 bill is something to Invest
ather than to spend. It suggests the
yo8sibility of investment, rather than
lisslpation. When saving up the $100
vou also get out of the cheap spending
habit. Two bits, a half, six bits, a dol-
ar, all take on new values once you
regin to learn that taken together in
ruantities they really amount to some-
hing. Petty and thriftless spending
oses its appeal.
Thrift is a hablt easily acquired. It
loesn’t necessarily mean cheapness
or niggardliness, nor tightness. It
neans only that you spend in the
ight direction.
Not many people, unless they keep
00ks on themselves, realize how
auch they spend uselessly. It goes
n such small amounts that they lose
ight of the totals. It is in the mailp
raste.
The price of a new chair, a library
amp, needed silverware or some other
it of furniture or electrical appliance
or the home is often “blown In,” for
thing at all.—Chicago American.
Primitive Old Tavern
The old George tavern Is about the
nly hotel left in London where a
uest 18 shown to his bedroom by the
‘ght of a candle.
The ancient tavern contains many
elles of Charles Dickens, and pletures
nd photographs of London as it ap-
eared in his day. It is situated in a
ourtyard which 18 reached by turning
'p & narrow lane out of Borough High
treet, near London bridge.
All bedrooms are furnished with
wuge old-fashioned four-poster bed:
teads. It is the only remaining hos-
alry In England's capital with an
pen wooden balcony running along
utslde the bedroom windows.
Shelves behind its tiny bar are
wden with old pewter quart pots, rel-

Airsts were hig and capacities unlim-
ed. Hung upon the walls are cum-
ersome pistols, which were carrled by
he old night watchmen,
Ray Pierces Fog
The time is coming when every ship
ill carry an “invisible” searchlight to
ierce fogs, and every automobile will
urry a dark lamp for the same pur-
ose. This is the prediction made by
L. Baird, inventor of television. He
18 invenied a dark ray which, he
aims, will pierce thick fogs or smoke.
he invention is called “noctovision”
1d has been demonstrated at his lab-
‘atory In London. Admiral Mark
err of the British navy declared
at In his opinion the invention is
:e biggest thing discovered for sea
ud air travel in many years. By the
‘ie of chemicals the scientist created
1 artificial fog in the laboratory so
deck that his assistants were choked
it. Admiral Kerr saw Baird trans-
it a doli’'s features through this fog.
Spelling to Fit News
The value of the alfabet if yu ap-
y it to spel words simply instead of
ing the favorit method, which yu
e is not followed here, was discussed
cently at the twenty-first annual
eeting of the simplified spelling
ard, held in the trustees’ room o’
iumbia university.
The way the bord spels words is
ustrated sientifically in a pamflet
epared by filologists of the bord,
hich points out that fish used to be
elt “fysche” and dog used to be
elt “dogge,” until etimologists grew
stil to this practis.—New York Her-
d-Tribune.

Bad Temper Handicap
in All Walks of Lif
“The temper of a man determines
the nature of his relations to society,”
writes Dr. Henry Knight Miller in an
editorial in the Psychology Magazine.
“You are popular or unpopular, loved
or despised, prompted to successful
achievement or held in limitation and
failure, in large part according to your
prevailing tempers, be they good or
evil.
“A man of persistent good temper
is loved, respected and cultivated,”
continues Doctor Miller, “while the ill-
tempered man is indeed his own worst
enemy. He makes friends only to
lose them. Opportunities pregnant
with golden possibilities are lost be-
cause of his uncontrolled and unlovely
temper. He soothes his jaded sensi-
bilities with copious drafts of self-ap-
preciation, hates society, snaris at all
who antagonize him and sinks lower
and lower into the slough of despond,
into morbid quicksand of his own di=
torted imagination.”
Doctor Miller emphasizes the fact
that good temper is a product of soul
culture. He says, “it is a result of
self-mastery, control of negative emo-
tions, proper perspective, sound phi-
losophy of life and a sense of humor.”
On the other hand he points out, in
the Psychology Magazine article, that
a man who is at war with himself,
whose inner consciousness knows no
harmony is ill-tempered because of his
lack of inner poise. He writes, “One
basic cause of bad temper is selfish-
ness. Start to form habits of un-
selfishness. Of course, no sane man
will neglect his own interest and wel-
fare but he can at the same time mani-
fest an intense Interest in the welfare
of others and in building a habit of
unselfishness he will advance far in
the achievement of good temper. The
cultivation of a sense of humor is an-
other great aid. Cultivate, likewise,
love as a governing mood and a habit
of life. The constant use of autosug-
gestion is an invaluable aid in this as
In every other program for the reor-
ganization of being. Little by little,
the constant reiteration of these prin-
ciples will build in the subconscious
mind predominant impressions cor-
responding to these suggestions and
life will become attuned to these sub-
lime ideals.”
Volcano’s Last Effort
Steam In occasional hissing Jets,
che last breath of the once raging vol-
canic vent, still melts the snow among
the glaciers at the top of Mount Rai-
nier, according to Dr. F. E. Matthes
of the United States geological survey.
This great cone-shaped mountain,
which now supports one of the most
magnificent single-peak glacier sys-
tems in the world, was in long past
ages a volcano. As the season ad-
vances the great rivers of ice are be-
ginning to flow more rapidly, until
during the warmest weather they will
move at a rate of from twelve to
eighteen inches a day. This does not
mean, however, that they extend their
range farther down the slopes, for
they melt off as fast as they flow for-
ward, and sometimes faster. Some of
the glaclers have undergone notable
losses the last thirty or forty years
Veteran Greets Duke
Having lived in the reign of three
British sovereigns, John Peerless, now
nearly ninety, of Fitzroy, a veteran of
the Crimean and Maori wars, was
among those most eager to meet the
duke and duchess of York when the
royal couple visited Melbourne, Born
in Walmay, Kent, soon after the ac-
cession of Queen Victoria, Peerless,
as a boy, frequently held the duke of
Wellington's horse when the hero of
Waterloo, riding from Walmer castle
into the village, dismounted there. In
hig early ’'teens Peerless served mu ine
Crimean war as a midshipman on
H. M. S. Hannibal. He saw similar
service on H. M. 8S. Iris in the Maori
war. Settling later in Williamstown,
he was attached to the old Victorian
navy for a long period. He was pre-
sented a medal commemorating the
centenary of the death of Nelson.
Desert Lake Vanishing
Jne of the most remarkable series
of evaporation measurements ever
made was the result of a disastrous
flood that occurred in the desert re-
glon of southern California in the year
1905, says Nature Magazine. I'he
breaking of dams constructed in con-
nection with an irrigation project al-
lowed the water of the Colorado river
to flow into a large depression below
sea level, known as the Salton sink.
By the time thé break was closed,
at the end of 1906, the flood had
formed a lake 475 square miles in ex-
tent—the Salton sea. After its prin-
cipal supply of water was cut off, the
lake diminished rapidly in depth and
area on account of the great excess
of evaporation over the very scanty
rainfall,
Brooms on Wheels
A device that, it is claimed, enables
4 child to operate a 4-foot broom, us-
ually requiring a strong man’s efforts,
has been perfected by a San Francisco
man, says a writer in Popular Science
Monthly. The broom is mounted on
two rubber-tired wheels the same
height as the broom. Pushing down
the handle throws the broom on the
wheels and lifts it two or three inches
off the floor. Lifting the handle sets
the broom down on the floor ready
to sweep.
The broom is moved easily from
one spot to another without lifting it
off the floor, and the sweeper can op-
erate it a great deal faster and with
much less effort than an ordinary
broom.
RED INDIANS STILL
HOLD TO PAGANISM
Firm in Faith of Primitive
Codes of Ancestors.
Nearly 100,000 Indians in the United
States are untouched by Christian
doctrines, the board of Indian com-
missioners recently estimated, and re-
main to all intents and purposes
pagans, presumably still holding in
large measure the bellefs of their an-
cestors. What these primitive Indian
religious beliefs are is described by
the National Geographic society.
“Poetic fancy and a natural tenden-
¢y to describe newly encountered be-
llefs and customs in terms of those
already familiar have given white peo-
ple many false ideas in regard to the
religious beliefs of the American In-
dians,” says a soclety bulletin. “Some
enthusiasts have pictured the typical
red man as noble and ethical beyond
his white brother, believing in a fa-
therly ‘Great Spirit’ and striving to
live the good life that he may go after
death to the ‘Happy Hunting Ground’
This is a fallacy.
“There is no single religion of the
American Indians. Instead the be-
lefs differed widely in different sec-
tions and among different tribes.
There was, however, a general simi-
larity of views, and these were about
what eould have been expected from
people of a relatively primitive de-
gree of culture. Nowhere does what
could truly be called the conception of
a ‘Great Spirit’ an overruling deit:r
emerge.
“There were greater and lesser
spirits, to be sure, but the character-
istic Indian belief is in a multitude of
spirits animating animals, objects and
the various forces of nature. Nor
were these spirits inherently good or
bad morally. They might help or
hinder the individual in his activities
or health, and whether they did the
one or the other was the test of thei»
‘goodness’ or ‘badness’ for him.
“The primitive Indian has no con-
ception of a hell; nor is his entry into
the spirit land dependent on his con-
duct. He enters it as a matter of
course, he believes, and continues
there whatever activities have inter-
ested him in this life. To some tribes
this is a ‘skyland, to others it is
merely a region of the earth, ‘In the
West,” ‘across the sea,” or ‘beyond a
river.’ Others believe the villages of
the dead to be near their villages, bu*
invisible.
“Coupled in the mind of the primi-
tive Indian with a belief in many
spirits is a belief in magic, through
which the spirits can be influenced.
The medicine men possessed the se-
crets of such magic, it was belleved,
and often Interceded. All Indians
believe in the possession of a soul
which leaves the body at death. They
also believe that it leaves at éther
times, and some tribes ascribe illness
to this absence of the soul. The serv-
ices of the medicine man are sought
to recover the missing soul. Belief In
a continuing soul did not lead to an-
cestor worship. as among FKasterr
peoples.
“Most Indian mythologists do not
concern themselves with creation.
Thev assume the existence of the
earth and deal with its peopling and
with the origin of arts, customs and
rites, All these are supposed to have
come by a sort of revelation. Some
tribes, however, especially those of the
Pacific coast region, do have a crea-
tion myth. In some it is ‘Old Man
Above,’ in others an animal, such as
the coyote or the silver fox, who
makes a hole in the sky, comes to
earth and creates the animals and
men. In some of these myths there
is only water beneath the sky, but
the descending being creates the earth
in the form of an island, which grows.
“Morality and ethics were well de-
veloped among American Indians.
They have a strong sense of con-
science and many individuals are
strikingly benevolent, The tribal
morality was strict. He who lied,
failed to keep his promises or stole
within the tribe was disgraced. Mur-
der, too, was punished. War removed
ethical barriers among Indians, as it
has among most people In all ages. It
then became a virtue for the Indian to
kill his enemies and to take thelr
property.
“On the whole, the Indian’s religious
seliefs may be described as being
wholly practical and as springing
from fear of the more or less hostile
forces of nature that surrounded him.
His various rites arose from his ef-
forts to propitiate or to take advan-
tage of these forces.”
Silk Hosiery Popular
Short skirts are blamed for women
stepping out of cotton stockings into
the silk-stocking class, says the Path.
finder Magazine. Of the 60,000,000
pairs of women’s hose made in this
country in 1925 less than 29,000,000
were of cotton. This is a drop of
about 5,000,000 pairs of cotton stock-
ings and a bigger gain for silk or near-
silk hose. The exhibition of feminine
knees has also resulted in an increas-
ing demand for silk-all-the-way-up leg
coverings.
Blow Bubbles for Beauty
German girls are blowing bubbles to
pecome beautiful. It has long been
known that persons who play wind
instruments are healthy and it is as-
serted that bubble-blowing can pro-
duce a similar effect. The girls who
participate in the bubble-blowing par-
ties say there is nothing like it for
rounding out thin cheeks and scraggy
necks.

Forests Grow as 45 Counties Plant
Trees.
Tree planting demonstration work
for the spring of 1927 has just been
completed by the extension foresters
of the Pennsylvania State College.
Ninety-five field meetings were held
in 45 counties during the 8-week sea-
son. The specialists, C. R. Anderson
and F. T. Murphy, attended 93 of
these meetings, and two counties
where specialists were not present.
Of the areas on which trees were
planted, seven were previously in
trees and this spring they were eith-
er renewed or extended. Sixty-two
of the areas on which meetings were
held conform to the requirements
laid down for permanent demonstra-
tion areas.
permanent areas were planted by co-
operators but no meeting was held
there this spring. The net gain in
permanent areas is 70, making alto-
gether at the present time over 300
such demonstrations in the State.
At the 95 meetings 1934 persons
were in attendance, an average of
20 to each meeting. This is the best
record yet made. School boys and

A Word With
the Old Folks
Elderly People Are Learning Importance
y he a ET,
N the later years of life there is
apt to be a slowing up of the
bodily functions. Good elimination;
however, is just as essential to the
old as to the young. Many old folks
have learned the value of Doan’s
Pills when a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys is required. Scanty ot
burning passages of kidney secre-
tions are often signs of improper kid-
ney function. In most every come
munity are scores of users and en-
dorsers who acclaim the merit of
Doan’s. Ask your neighbor!
