"TH By the Way HE Turn of the Century, 1900-1904," the first volume of Mark Sullivan's "Our Times: The United States, 1900-1925," reminds us that during the first four years of this century butter sold for twenty-five cents a pound; one pair of silk stockings a year were sold for each 2,000 of the population, while the ratio is one for six to-day; that hotel rooms were one dollar a day; that 40,000 Confederate soldiers and six out of nineteen lieutenant-generals were still alive; and that General Joe Wheeler and three United States Senators did not object to signing testimonials asserting that "Peruna is the best I have ever tried." Classified advertisement from the New York "Evening Graphic:" "FORTY Nick Carter books, very good condition, for 22 cal. revolver, 5 or 6 East shooter. Write only. E. C St., city." An apt pupil. We learn from the "New Yorker" of a new system that a large motion-picture publication has evolved for evicting bores. An office boy enters, advising the harassed editor that some important personage awaits him, and the bore, greatly impressed, arises hastily and departs. A short time ago this system completely collapsed. After a particularly trying half-hour in the company of a visitor, the office boy was summoned in response to an agreed bell signal. "Senator Walsh, of Montana, is outside to see you, sir," announced the youth. The bore departed and the editor resumed his work. Three-quarters of an hour later the office boy, whom the editor had not noticed was new, entered again. "Senator Walsh is still waiting, sir, and he says he can't wait much longer either." A little girl sniffed audibly as she walked into the dining-room, and said to her aunt, "I smell candy." After receiving the object of her sniffing, she looked at the sweet morsel intently and said, "I did not fink that I could smell such a small piece." Auntie took the hint. Radio listeners in Perth, Western Australia, report the hearing of a program broadcast by the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York. The distance between the two places is 11,498 miles. This is believed to be the long-distance broadcast record. Sign on the back of a ten-ton truck: "If you bump me, use your head!" "Punch" tells this one: Young Lady (after a violent dance): "There! My heel's gone! That's done for me this evening." Youth: "Oh, bother! Don't you carry spare parts?" Howard Brubaker writes: "What has become of the old-fashioned newspaper which discussed other matters besides the liquor question?" The high-water mark of gullibility among would-be motion-picture scenario writers was reached, we think, by one Ambrose Caboul, of San Francisco, California. He advertised for sale three of his movie plots in a Los Angeles magazine. Mrs. Evelyn Rosencrantz, serving a sentence in San Quentin Penitentiary, answered the advertisement, stating that she was an expert on scenarios and pictures and could give him valuable instruction in the marketing of his brain children. Caboul went to the prison to see her. Her story that she was there studying prison conditions seemed to con vince him. Mr. Caboul now charges that the prisoner has obtained from him his entire fortune of $6,000 on her promise to bring him fame and money. A bishop was eating dinner with his host before the afternoon service at which he was to speak. He ate very little, explaining that it is not good for a preacher to eat heavily before a sermon. The housewife could not attend the service, as she had the supper to prepare. When her husband came home, she said, "Well, how was he?" The husband, drawing a sigh, replied, "He might just as well of et." Despite the sneers of the super-perfect, the great art of eating with a knife is not lost in America. One one-hundred-percenter, observed on a Pennsylvania diner out of St. Louis, whose pockets bulged with oil contracts, did it with infinite dexterity, conveying semi-liquid morsels to his mouth without losing a drop. He also spurned napkin and finger-bowl. There was really no call for either. He had not mussed himself up a bit. The Iowa man who secured legislation lengthening the sheets on hotel bedsteads, thereby comforting countless toes, still has work to do. He should get behind a Constitutional amendment to lengthen the berths in all Pullman sleeping-cars six inches. It will save a deal of hunching on the lengthy part of the human race in America. A little boy who is studying music told his mother his teacher wanted to know how many carrots there was in a bushel. His mother was surprised that a music teacher should ask a question like that, so she asked her why. The teacher looked puzzled, and finally said, "Oh, I asked him how many beats there are in a measure." On the last day of school prizes were distributed. When one little boy returned home, his mother was entertaining callers. "Well, my boy," said one of the callers, "did you get a prize?" "No; but I got horrible mention," replied the boy. Radio Station WEAF and its allied stations throughout the country keep a checkup on the letters received concerning their various broadcast features. The most popular entertainers, in the order named, are Ipana Troubadors, The Vikings, the Gold Dust Twins, the Atwater Kent Radio Hour, Shinola Merrymakers, Silvertown Cord Orchestra, Cliquot Club Eskimos, the Everready Hour, the Capitol Theatre Sunday night program, and the Shakespearean Players. It will be noted that jazz far outranks the classical offerings in popularity. "There are two sides to every question," proclaimed the sage. "Yes," said the fool, "and there are two sides to a sheet of flypaper, but it makes a difference to the fly which side he chooses." A subscriber writes: Recently we stood at the door of our country house waiting for our car. "Ah, look!" exclaimed my friend; "the trees are leaving." "What can we do to keep them?" I said. "I don't know, unless we take away their trunks," was the answer. In the best Southern manner, according to the Richmond "Christian Advocate:" "Do you mean to say that I am a liar?" "I hope that I could not do so ungentlemanly a thing; but I see you catch my idea." Answer to last week's anagram: "Scrape," "capers," "pacers," "Casper," "escarp," "spacer," "crapes." In writing to the above advertisers please mention The Outlook T Free for All "Manifest and Deliberate WAS interested to read, in your issue of April 28, the article on our strike situation here, entitled "When a Peaceful Strike Is Not Peaceful." I was also much interested in your reference to our recent letter to you. As I read your last article I could not help feeling that this time I would waste a two-cent postage-stamp to complain, not that legitimate workers have not been permitted to work-one of the statements in our first letter-but that legitimate readers of your once-estimable publication cannot be heard and given a fair show in matters that vitally affect them. I cannot help recalling a line in Kipling's "If" to the effect that "If you can stand to hear your words twisted," etc. Seriously, however, your attitude on this whole question out here, your manifest and deliberate unfairness, your action in snapping a sentence or two from some other publication without the foregoing or subsequent text in order to attain at least a "parlor pink" color to your articles, makes us think rather of the license of the press than its freedom. We can't strike back. When you make a misstatement, we must submit, because you have the printer's ink and the circulation, and lack the intent to be fair. Therefore we are as helpless in dealing with a publication of your ilk as you allege the strikers in Passaic to be. You hold the club of public opinion, and if the Passaic police had actually wielded night-sticks as unfairly as you have this club then, indeed, would this be a sad place and State in which to live. GEORGE S. ALDOUS, Chairman, Committee on Public Information. Passaic Chamber of Commerce, Passaic, New Jersey. [In the editorial comment to which Mr. Aldous refers we printed verbatim the strongest statement from his circular letter explicitly charging the strikers with intimidation, injury of property, and interference with the right of people to work. What more we could have done without quoting Mr. Aldous's. letter in full we do not see. We have been careful to get the points of view of both sides in this strike. One reason why it has not been settled is that a statement of both sides such as we have tried to give is regarded in influential quarters as proof of "manifest and deliberate unfairness."-THE EDITORS.] hood in a Democracy" as presented by Mrs. Cartland, on the one side, and Mrs. (or Miss) Oakley, on the other. The argument that geniuses are more common in the latest born of large families sounds like the engineer Redfield, who tried to break into the field of biology a few years ago with a book in which he supported Lamarck's theory of the inheritance of acquired characters. His argument was plausible as far as it went, but it was based on few and poor statistics and really proved nothing. I agree with Mrs. Oakley that the number of children has nothing to do with genius. One point seems to have been overlooked by both women, and that is the value in the training of the child of having other children in the family. To a very large extent children discipline one another as they grow up.
