CROSSING DEATHS

PEOPLE TALK TOO MUCH
When he was ambassador to the
'Court of St. James the late Walter!
'Hines Page, in a letter to Col House, !
sells the story of two colored citi
:zens, one of whom was doing his ut
f most to pick a quarrel with the oth
er without apparent progress. The
j active member in the attempted al
itercation stormed and swore and
I
I went the limit of his lung power and ifour million fathers and mothers in
t vocabulary without getting a ri8ejspjred to work harder and live bet
out of his unresponsive listener, j ter lives so that they may be ex-
When he had reached the breaking
point of his endurance he blurted
out. "Look here, you kinky-headed,
flat-nose, slab-footed man. I warns
you, 'fore God. don't keep giving me
none of your d d silence."
There are few things more discon
certing, more confusing, more diffi
cult to meet or understnnd than si
lence. It is the one thing, perhaps,
that gives death its chief terror, for
excepting a few inane and incoherent
sentences a few mysterious and
meaningless physical manifestations
not very convincingly attested by
nervous, overwrought witnesses
nothing hnp ever come from the great
beyond but silence a silence that
sometimes leaves us awestruck and
uncertain.
You can't quarrel with a man who
says nothing; you can't sell him
anything. He disarms you and leaves
you following a blind trail. He has
a strength that cannot be overcome.
Nothing can cover up ignorance so
successfully as silence, accompanied
by a look of intelligence, when si
lence is possible. Nothing is raor
impressive than silence, nothing so
weak as talking so much.
A physician we used to know ac
quired a considerable reputation for
his knowledge and skill. He had a
fine figure and no little art in put
ting his clothes on. There was a
look of wisdom on his face when he
entered a sickroom. He exercised
more than usual care and delibera
tion in qusetiouing and examining
his patients, but other than this he
seldom said anything, made no
predictions, no specific statements as
to what ailed the patient or how
soon he woud be relieved. He never
had anything therefore, to take back
and he got credit for being tremend
ously wise. In point of fact he was
probably below the average. He
simply had judgment to keep his
mouth shut and his silence brought
him the reputation of having wis
dom. Most folks talk too much.
CHURCH CRITICS
A common complaint of those who
stay away from church is that the
average sermon is uninteresting and
not worth one's time. A religious
ieader asks whether sermons are
less interesting or more tiresome
than other addresses to which peo
ple listen, than the general run of
conversation or the type of reading
in which the ordinary individual in-:
dulges. He thinks all preaching
could be improved if there were bet
ter support of the church and better
attendance at its services.
The churches, like all other hu
man institutions, are just what the
people make them. The average ser
mon is not likely to rise above the
level of intelligence of the congre
gation of which it is directed or to
fell below that level. Nor is the
average church likely to be of more
service in the community than the
community demands it shall be.
Those who think the churches fail to
measure up to the standard that
ought to be reached have an excel
lent opportunity to show how the
deficiency can be met.

BABIES
More boy babies than girls are
born to American mothers, the cen
sus bureau reports. For every 1.000
female babies. 1,062 males are born.
However, the mortality rate is high
er among boys. In maturity, there
are more women than men. A baf
fling riddle is why souls come into
this world at all if destined to re
main only a few days, months or
year. Their mission may be for ef
fect on the parents.
For every 225 births in America,
there are 119 deaths. This is the
latest estimate, based on the year
1922.
Medieal science has greatly re
duced the death rate among babies
and in early childhood.
That's

chiefly how the average span of life
has been lengthened.
Already, there are almost twice as
many births as deaths. This doubles
the population so fast that any over
production of food cannot be more
than temporary- The number of
mouths is multiplying steadily.
About two million babies are born
in our country this year. That
means two million happy homes,
ampes for their children.
A baby is the only thing in life on
which nobody disagrees.
They bring us closer to the spirit
ual than anything else this side of
the grave. Emerson Bammed it up
when he wrote that all life is a pre
face until we have children.

Figures compiled by the depart
ment of commerce, it was learned to
day show:
That the commodity price index
based on two hundred commodities
in general use, is the same as it was
one year ago today. That the cost
of living figures are the same as
they were a year ago.
That prices being received by the
farmer for his products are far bet
ter. That the prices the farmer pays
for the things he must use have been
reduced materially, and his financial
status placed almost on a level with
the man in industry.
America will enter the New Year
on a tide of prosperity, with virtually
no voluntary unemployment.
EYEGLASSES, ELECTRIC MADE
More accurate lenses at smaller
cost are promised to all wearers of
eyeglasses by the recent development
of an automatic electric lens-grind
ing machine.
Heretofore lenses have been
ground by hand, with imperfections
and inaccuracies In manual precision
work. Hand-griuding is slow and ex
pensive, and approximately half of
the finished lenses proved defective.
By the new method, less than three
per cent of the finished lenses show
defects, in addition to which thy
are produced at much greater speed.
A block of glass is first heated in
an electric furnace to a temperature
of twenty-one hundred degrees, after
which the lens blanks are stamped
out like cookies. The blanks are then
'set in convex iron plates in lots of
oue thousand and are put in the
electric grinding apparatus. Each
bit of glass is ground in the desired
curve to an accuracy of one ten
thousandth of an inch. From the
grinding machine the lenses go to the
! polishers, also electrically driven, and
are then ready for inspection, almost
the only part of the new process re-
quiring human labor.
j It is estimated that five million
dollars' worth of eyeglass lenses are
used each year in the United States.
and the electrical manufacture of
lenses will not Only provide better
j glasses, but will materially decrease;
I their cost.
