TRUE Athletic Shoes...not
just street shoes dressed up
to look like golf.

That's the most significant
thing we could say about
our golf shoes, to those
who know Spalding's pre-
eminenceinthe manufacture
of athletic goods. $10 is the
price of most models...a price
that is possible because no
middleman takes a profit.

of your wife on at last finding
a cap that's becoming! $3.00.

By the Way

PROBLEM propounded by Samuel A.
Moss:

Last year I asked my best girl to marry me, and she refused. I got even with her by marrying her mother. Then my father married the girl. Now what am I to myself?

When I married the girl's mother, the girl became my daughter; and when my father married my daughter, she became my mother. Who am I?

Another from the same source:

The following speech was made by an Irish barrister on behalf of his client, whose cow had been killed by a train:

"If the train had been run as it should have been ran, or if the bell had been rung as it should have been rang, or if the whistle had been blew as it should have been blown, both of which they did neither, the cow would not have been injured when she was killed."

Judged by the way things are coming to light, Pennsylvania must be holding a sesqueal celebration.

Walter Winchell credits the prize fauxpas of the year to a small-town vaudeville actor who, upon the death of his wife, who was also his stage partner, sent the following enthusiastic telegram to his booking agent: "The missus passed out last night from blood poisoning. I went on and did a single and knocked them cold."

During a fund-raising campaign in the African Baptist Church two colored sisters called on old Uncle Berry, an aged Negro who lived on the outskirts of the village, and explained the purpose of their visit and asked him if he would not give something toward the cause.

"Lawsy, sisters, I sho would like to help you-all along," he said, "but I just ain't got it. Why, I has the hardest time to keep paying a little something on what I already owe round here."

"But," said one of the collectors, "you know you owe the Lord something too."

"Yes, that's right, sister," said the old man; "but he ain't pushing me like my other creditors is."

We have just experienced one of the coldest Junes in a score of years. Several patrons of the Capitol Theatre in New York asked for the return of their ticket money, on the ground that the theater was too cold to sit in. On June 23 Andrew Bishop, of Malone, New York, returned home from a walk with both of his ears frozen.

Washington sticks to standard time. President Coolidge is the only person there who wants to save anything.

I hate to be a kicker,

I always long for peace;

But the wheel that does the squeaking
Is the wheel that gets the grease.
Thus philosophizes the "Christian Regis-
ter." And the "Lookout" adds:

But neither should we blow nor boast
And thus achievement steal,
For the steam that blows the whistle
Never turns the wheel.

In "First Aids for Golfers" Grantland Rice writes: "If you at first don't succeed, try looking at the ball." "He who swings and lifts his head will say things better left unsaid." "Never mind about hitting it a mile. If you do, you won't."

It must not be forgotten that the prodigal son is usually the most popular member of the family.

There are now 894 broadcasting stations in operation in the entire world. According

to the Department of Commerce, 534 of these stations are in the United States. Canada has 54; Australia, 24; Spain, 22; Mexico, Sweden, and Germany, 20 each; the United Kingdom, 19; France, 19; Cuba, 18; Brazil, 16; Finland, 12; and India, 11. Russia is unofficially reported to have 17 stations. Africa, it seems, is the only continent which has definitely repudiated radio. The people tried it, disliked it, and cast it out. If their programs were anything like some of those in America, we can hardly blame them.

"My razor doesn't cut at all."

"Why, Henry, you don't mean to tell me that your beard is tougher than the oilcloth?"

B. W. Cohoon, chief dry agent stationed at Los Angeles, smelled a rat when he was handed a card by one Joseph Moore with the words "Interior Decorator" under the name. Mr. Cohoon looked up Joe Moore at the address on the card, and found a still and a large quantity of assorted liquors. From the "Tourist News:"

A woman breezed into the Pheil Hotel the other day and asked the clerk, "Do you mind dogs?"

"We most certainly do, madam." "Oh, how nice! And will you mind this one for me while I shop?"

Enticing invitation painted on a wall opposite the railway station in the chief city of the tidy little State of Delaware: "Where Capital, Labor and Legislation combine to make Industry and Business pleasant and profitable.-Wilmington Chamber of Com

Another sign which hangs over the door of No. 1 Patchin Place: "Ring Bell; Don't Kick Door."

Mr. F. H. Varney sends us the following, copied from a notice to guests in a hotel at Innsbruck, Austria:

"The departure has to be announced in the hotel office until 3 P.M. at least. "Meals taken in the room is a raive of price of 30 per cent.

"Adhesion for stolen objects from rooms by closed doors cannot be accepted but the legal maximum amount.

"For money one objects of value only giving them in depot in our hotel office. "It is not allowed to make use of electric apparats as smothering etc. in the rooms. "No allowance by the police to bring dogs in our publicrooms (dining room etc.) "Taxe for dogs 2 schilling a day food included."

The New York "World" has been running an exposé of the quality of booze being offered for sale in New York City. The champagne which sells from thirty dollars to forty dollars a quart in the night clubs was never imported, claims the "World." It was made in dingy East Side cellars, at the cost of about two dollars a bottle. Even the night club proprietors themselves testify to-day that there is much less drinking in their resorts than there was a year ago. They have said to their friends: "Provided prohibition can hang on long enough, night clubs will go dry for two reasons-the price and the poor quality. The present brands of liquor will eventually drive every drinker of it to his grave, via the kidney route."

Wife: "That boy of ours gets more like you every day."

Husband (meekly): "What's he been up to now?"

The familiar quotation from Shakespeare suggested by the letters KINI is "A little more than kin and less than kind."

How to Get into a Fight

IN the first place, call others names. It

they are bigger than you or not.

If indeed

too much bigger, they may take it as a joke and not fight, and if smaller they will fight all the same if you can call names insulting enough to their pride or make sufficiently decisive gestures.

It will help, too, if when a quarrel is started you insist on being your own judge of what is right and assume that all other people are inspired by unworthy motives, and you alone are inspired by the highest sense of justice and fairness.

By spending your money on candy and ice-cream and little Lord Fauntleroy clothes, and by no means on such things as boxing lessons and boxing gloves, you will get soft and flabby and look like an easy mark, and then if when there are signs of friction you carefully avoid putting yourself in a position of defense, but put your hands behind your back and stick out your tongue, the fight may begin right there.

If by any chance you have lent a man money, press him for the money while he is still hard up. You may stir up a fight, especially if when he offers to pay you in liquor you refuse it and tell him what a wicked bootlegger he is.

Be sure to give lots of advice to people, and tell them how wicked it is to quarrel and on how low a plane they are. In particular, interfere between an Irishman and his wife in a quarrel. You will have learned a good deal about fighting very soon.

Follow the glorious example of Jefferson and Madison, Buchanan and Wilson, and not that of Washington and Jackson and Roosevelt, and you may be as successful in having a fight on your hands as Madison and Wilson were.

Throw small stones at a dog, but don't carry a big stick. Instead of that carry a fountain pen. Speak not softly but fiercely, and write like the prophets of old.

A. C. L.

Income as a Test of Service

HE conclusion of the editorial in the

"The Church Press" impresses me as one not warranted by the premises and as proposing a course of action contrary to present-day trends. In my opinion, it would be a great mistake to endow the Church press. Of all the various forms of human effort, the press should be the least insulated from the currents of life and the most sensitive to social and religious needs. To endow Church publications would have the effect of removing them still further from the life of the people, so that they would be no more effective than little eddies along the side of a great and rushing stream.

Most religious periodicals are in a deep rut. The profit test applied through an income account is a much more accurate measure of the service rendered to society or any particular group than your article admits.

The proper course of action is to consolidate several mediocre publications into one good one, to employ modern editorial, printing, and advertising ideas, and ultimately to discontinue those which cannot be adjusted to life sufficiently well to make them profitable. MARK M. JONES.
