Expert Analysis
Judge Hoy Campbell Is a person of
quiet mien and few words. Like all
the rest of humanity, however, he has
likes and dislikes, and once in a blue
moon he bolls over.
Discussing with a newspaper man
recently the personality of a nmn who
takes an uninvited part in politics, the
Judge said;
“He’s like an electric fan—his only
excuse for being is that he keeps the
air circulating, though the good Lord
knows he does enough of that to make
all the rest of the electric fans in the
world Jealous.”—Houston Post.

Whe.n Silver Tarnishes
The tarnish on silver Is sliver sul
phide and Is due to the sulphur com
pounds In the air where coal and gas
are burned, also In many foods, In
wool, in rubber and in some bleached
and dyed materials. Dryness prevents
tarnishing somewhat, so camphor,
which absorbs moisture, Is sometimes
put in the silver drawer. White cot
ton flannel should never be used for a
silver container.
Gas in Germany
In the Ruhr, according to Das Gas
nnd Wasserfach, artificial gas is sup
planting coal and coke for heating
schools and business offices. This is
being accomplished in spite of the
fact that this Is a new use for gas in
that part of Germany, and that th<
cost of locally produced coal nnd coke
is low. Savings, it is stated, even un
der these conditions, have amounted to
more than 5 per cent.

POLITICAL BUNCOMBE
The Dearborn Independent.
In the clip-sheet of one of the
national political committees Is
found the following:
"In one of Professor Irving
Fisher’s latest computations the
purchasing power of the average
man’s dollar Is rated at 68.6 cents,
compared with a pre-war value of
100 cents. According to Professor
Fisher the dollar was worth 3.9
cents leas In the week of April
25, 1924, than It was oa January 1,
1922.
"During ths first quarter of
1924 the dollar, was worth an
average of 68.4 cents, according
to Professor Fisher’s calculations.
The dollar’s average value for
1923, he fixes at 63.4 cents."
The statements are doubtless
accurate as far as they go, but
they do not tell the whole truth.
If the returns from production
and labor will buy as much at a
given time as at any time before,
the amount which the dollar will
buy does not matter. If the wage
level of 1924 is Increased In the
s&ms proportion as the price
level, there Is no loss to the
laborer. The real comparison Is
between the production required
to secure the dollar and the com
modity needed to buy the dollar.
Briefly, It Is not what a dollar
will buy, but what will buy a dol
lar.
The Garden of Lamps.
And lovers loiter In the gloom,
The mystic lamp man following
them
Taps with his torch the barren stem
And fills each lamp with bloom.
The old wives gossip, but the shy
Young lovers are not talkative.
They watch the line of lamps take
fire
Of golden bloom above the mire,
Too happy that they live.
The young are glad that they are
young;
The old are sorry they are old,
And sigh, remembering their old
dream e
Beneath the shining lamp that
seems
A giant marigold.
The night becomes a garden then
Whose seeds are eparks In mystic
wise
The lamp man sows. The golden
bloom
To lovers walking in the gloom
Seems dropped from Paradise.

Magazine.

Aged 8heik Made a Hit.
From the New York Sun.
Jonathan Foulk, 106 years old, wae
euch a pet of the women during his
transcontinental Journey from Los
Angeles to his home In Cedar Rapids,
la., that he is seriously thinking of
marrying again.
If he does the lucky woman will be
a "pretty widder from South Dakota,’’
aocordlng to him. Mr. Foulk, who
has been making the trip to California
alone in the winter and back again in
the spring for the last ten years, was
the pet of every woman on the train,
he told newspaper men.
"Thinking of marrying again,
Uncle John?” he was asked.
"Getting mighty tired of living
alone, and there’s no fun when the
women are not around,” replied Mr.
Foulk. "If I decide to take my fourth |
wife the Dakota widder is the gal. She
treated me like a king all the way
from Los Angeles to Denver. Some
of the flappers were nice ta me, too,
but I can’t stand their hair and their
ways.”
Asked If present day JfOuths had
any chance of living to tee century
mark, Mr. Foulk replied: “Not if they
smoke 40 or 60 cigarets a day and
drink a pint of hooch. I used to
drink. A doctor prescribed a pint of
whisky a day for me 60 years ago.
The first pint made me sick, and I
haven’t taken a drink since.”
The last show Mr. Foulk saw was
"The Black Crook” In New York.
“Them danged wimmen showing
their legs made me sick, and I
haven’t been In a theater since.”
Mr. Foulk fought through the Civil
war as a member of the 36th Illinois
regiment.
Proper Punishment.
From the Los Angeles Times.
An eastern city, In seeking to dis
pose of traffic problems and motor
perils, is endeavoring to put tne
speed fiends at work on the high
ways. Instead of being fined or sent
to Jail they will be turned over to
the street department and required
to help in various departments of
road work. When a guy has been
burning up the road for some days
it will do him good to give him a
hose and broom and make him take
a turn at cooling it off. When a
motorist feels that he cannot pos
sibly travel a boulevard at a pace
less than 60 miles an hour put him
on a steam roller for a week and
see how much mileage he can get.
Also it Is a noble Idea to take the
ones who have been making the
1 highways unsafe for others and use
them In the definite task of saining
them up and extending their ser
vice. While the motor maniacs are
pouring asphalt they are at least
not running over the^r fellowman.
It is hoped that means will be found
to extend this plan of punishment.
It seems to fit the crime.

JUNE 18 JUNE
June Is June and iny heart is young!
I heard today, from a bitter tongue,
A doleful story of wedded life;
Of bickering, borodnese, endless strife.
The tale was true, and the hurt was
deep.
Yet the moon Is full and I cannot
sleep;
So I’m deaf to the wall of that soul
love-stung—
Ah, June Is June and my heart is
young!
June Is June and my heart ie young—
I have known many whose lives
were flung
To ravening Hons, through love like
mine
That seems, this moment, a thing
divine.
I've read the chronicles o’er and o’er
How life had mocked at the poets’
lore.
Yet here's Dan Cupid, hie bow new
strung—
Well, June is June, and my heart is
young!
June Is June and my heart is young—
Not every heart that loves la wrung;
I have known many who found life
sweet;
Whose love has made It a thing *
complete.
So here In the moonlight I turn to
him
Surrendered quite to his tender
whim.
Believing the words frem his honey
ed tongue—
Lo, June is June, and my heart is
young!
Strickland Gllltlan in the Kansas
City Star
I was glad that day, the June was la

With Its multitude of nightingales

The dusk of sliver Bound;
Of Wlr.da frvwn dreaming hilltops,
And thrushes from the ground.
—J. Gertrude Menard.
And what Is so rare as a day In June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries if the earth be in
tune.
And over it softly her warm ear
lays;
Whether we look or whether w#
listen,
We hear life niqrmur or see it
glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An Instinct within It that reaches
and towers.
And, groping blindly above It for light.
Climbs to a soul In grass and
flowers.
—James Russell Low||l.
Gentle June
Touched the cornsllk, fine and yel
low;
Kissed the apples, made them mellow;
Dike a golden harvest moon—
Gentle June!

LIFE AND DEATH
0 death, whore is thy victory —
1 Cor. 15:55.
1 have no sympathy with those
who would make the fact of death
the controlling factor of life.
The flaming Inscriptions on the bill
boards, “Prepare to meet thy Uod,"
and tho exhortations of the preach
ers, “Live today as if you were to
die tomorrow," leave me cold.
The meeting (I say U reverently)
has already taken place.
I do not expect to die tomorrow.
I want to take life as it comes—
as bravely, as decently, as cheerfully
as possible.
There are lots of innocent, Inter
esting, and possibly useful things
which I propose doing today, which
I should probably not do if I thought
that I had to die tomorrow.
The beloved ones, the friends, wh*
have moved before me Into the un
known world, I believe are still liv
ing.
I have no need of Sir Oliver Lodge
nor of the excessively Belgian Shake
speare, Maeterlinck, -to assure me of
their existence.
I rely upon a better Teacher.
Nor do I think that my invisible
friends would choose to speak to me
through personB — mediums — "With
whom they would have had no sym
pathy nor intercourse iu mortal life.
Nor would they use a patented
Oulja board for their communica
tions.
They would speak to me directly
—my father, my dear daughter Boro
thea—and I believe they have done
so, whether In the body or out of
the body I know not.

Girls Put Color of
Food Before Taste
“Girls Judge food mostly by their
eyes. They talk about the color rather
than the taste. A red cherry or a
green leaf, a fancy shape or a (lab of
whipped cream casts the die.”
This Is the belief of Miss Mary
Swartz Rose, a professor of nutrition
at Columbia' university, writing in Hy
gela on “The High Cost of Growing.”
Although it costs more to prepare
and serve food in these fancy guises.
Miss Rose tells parents that It pays
to use the girl’s love of beauty to sup
plement her weaker urge to eat. A
girl does not need as many calories of
food as her brother, but the sanre
amount of money can be spent on her
with good conscience.
“Keep her diet liberally supplied
with fruit and vegetables. Give her an
egg and a quart of milk n day. Insist
on her eating at regular times, and try
to nrrange for her a wholesome life
that will give her a good appetite. She
Is learning, at school that the physical,
beauty, which Is one of her greatest
concerns, comes through health and
she has seen how quickly animals show
the effects of unsuitable food In stringy
hair and blotched skin.”
