EDITORIAL
WE NEED HOUSES
The nearer we get to our annual
moving day, April first, the more
we are impressed with the thought
that Mount Joy needs more houses,
particularly for the laboring class.
You have no idea how people are
seeking houses. The writer does a
leasing business and from the num-
ber of inquiries we could use at
least twenty-five homes that could
be let for a reasonable rental.
Won’t some one tackle the build-
ing of such homes. We see no rea-
son why it woul dnot be a paying
proposition if they were economical-
hy erseted.
A HOBO RIDDANCE
All winter the Mount Joy boro
lockup was the lodging place for a
number of hoboes and even some
that could not be so classified. The
majority, however, were Knights of
the Road. On many occasions, the
lockup was crowded. No good can
come from such visitors.
A number of our citizens, fearing
possible disturbances or thefts,
which are usually traced to charac-
ters such as these, justly made com-
plaint and seven of them were giv-
en thirty days each.

Intricacies of Etiquette
Freddie, age five, was being trained
to tip his cap to the women.
Soon after- his mother's explicit ex-
planations regarding that particular
etiquette, he went into the yard to play.
His mother looked after him. Soon,
Mrs. Smith, next door, came out. She
and Freddie engaged in conversation
but, much to the mother's chagrin, no
cap was tipped.
When Freddie came Into the house,
his mother sald, “What did I tell you
about tipping your cap to the ladies?”
“I haven't seen any ladles yet,” sald |
Freddie.
Miser Left $400,000
Many years before his death, which
occurred in 1886, James Henry Paine.
the notorious miser, handed to Mr.
Chickering, the Boston piano maker,
a package for safe keeping, and took
no receipt or other acknowledgment.
Many years later, during the cele-
hrated legal contest over Paine’s es-
tate, Mr. Chickering happened to re-
call the incident, took the dust-cov
ered package from his safe, and, tight
iv rolled in an old bandana handker

Evaporated Milk in China
There is practically no use made of
milk by the natives of China. The
Chinese idea is that greater food
values may be obtained from an acre
of land by growing soy beans than by
pasturing a cow. The thousands of
foreigners in China. however, find no
difiiculty in obtaining milk, since for-
eign shops carry evaporated milk
which is merely sterilized cow's milk
from which part of the water has
been removed. The great bulk of the
evaporated milk used is shipped from
the United States. Sealed in her-
metically sealed cans, and unopened,
the evaporated’ milk will keep indefi-
nitely in all sorts of weather and has
the added advantage of being free
from all disease-creating bacteria,
