PAGE SIX. New Chinese Stamp Honors U. S. Flag An unprecedented compliment was paid the United States by China recently when a new stamp was issued to commemorate the 150th anni- versary of the Declaration of Independence by the United States. The stamp bears the flags of China and the U. S. to symbolize the traditional friendship that has existed for $0 many years between the two nations. As far as is known, this is the first time that an independent nation has Bo signally honored the flag of another. { | i in other cases the state ought to pay FTER NOMINATION some men for living with some wom- en. A sharp tongue gets sharper by constant use and men who have to listen to it certainly have a burden.” District Attorney Stephens Mayer, however, interposed with the statement that regardless of who was at fault in domestic relations cases the man should have to pay for the support of his children. “No matter who is to blame, no man should be permitted to evade the re- sponsibility of supporting his child- ren,” Mr. Mayer said. Judge McCann also discussed from the bench the possibility that the week charges of $3.50 which is made against defendants in certain morality cases over a period of 14 years is too high. : ry is “Speaking only for myself, I believe Alvin (Jack) Dietrick, of Patton, a that under conditions as they well known local resident, has announ- | are today that in some cases this char- eed his candidacy for the Democratic | ge should be reduced to $10 a month,” nomination for Register of Wills of | Judge McCann said.

The front door slammed, and Su- zette shrieked at the new arrival, “Look Wilfred, papa won that prize puzzle he was working at the other night and won a lot of money. See what he gave me,’’ as she stuck the check tantalizingly under her broth- er’s nose. When Wilfred dashed in Martin Stevens’ fountain pen was already poised over the check-book. ‘What is your pet desire of the moment, son?” he queried with a grimness tliat went unnoticed. “Gee, dad, you're a lucky one, aren’t you? If you could let me have fifty, I'd go on that week-end trip with the fellows. Thanks alot, dad —see you at dinner.” ry A moment later a light step in dhe hall presaged the entrance of Aunt Lucy, her delicate face beam- ing. “Well, Martin, Alice just told me of yaur good fortune. I am so glad that you can give me something now to help with the settlement girls. Twenty-five would be about right. I thank you in behalf of the settle- ment.” “Hello, Martin, you lucky dog!” boomed a hearty voice. ‘‘Ha, ha—I found you out. Yessir, your Suzette told my Elsie about it. Now, old man, you'll have to come across with that subscription to the new club-house. I'm going to put you down for five hundred. Easy come— easy go—ha, ha!

It read: “Pay to the order of Martin Ste- vens 25 dollars as tenth prize in the Whatsis puzzle contest.” Harp an Old Instrument An instrument of great antiquity, the harp remained practically un- changed until the beginning of the Eighteenth century, when Hoch- brucker introduced a pedal. The harp owes its perfection to Sebas- tian Erard, who in 1810 brought out a double-action harp, compassing 6% octaves with seven pedals, which raised the pitch either a half or whole tone. The frame is of syca- more, the sounding-board of deal, in the center of which is placed a strip of beech, where tin pegs are in- serted. «®.N ££ ff 0 & fox Nk What you “slip” on at day start... ttl just Lou dai. ‘Tonight These slips, lovely to look at, : lovelier still to wear, give you i that “lift” that makes a day better, an evening gayer.
