The original purpose of this device was to notify the police and the neighborhood that burglary was being attempted. It is now said that the auctioneers set off their sirens in order to attract crowds to their storefronts and then to entice them inside by their ballyhoo methods. "Jock, will ye sup wi' me taemorrow nicht?" "Aye, Sandy, that I will wi' pleasure." "Guid. Then eight o'clock at your hoose." The Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin says that the adoption of the summer daylight-saving time is no novelty. Irish sun-dials of the sixth century recently discovered in the Counties Down and Kerry confirm the conclusion drawn from the Gezer dial in Palestine that the hour thousands of years ago varied in length according to the season and latitude. The daylight hour in Ireland in midsummer was eighty minutes, decreasing in winter to forty minutes. From "Punch:" Visitor: "Do you like to recite, dear?" Child: "No, but mummy always asks me, because it makes people go." Chicago has installed an automatic stoplight signal system to govern its automobile traffic. As the result of this system the meters of Mr. John Hertz's Yellow Taxi Cabs are said to register about $3,000 a day higher than they did before the new lighting plan went into effect. How did it happen that the Chicago officials adopted this new system of traffic regulation? Some time ago we noticed in an obscure news item that the self-made millionaire taxi man, Mr. Hertz, at his own expense put up a $50,000 experimental lighting system on Michigan Boulevard. In this way he sold the idea to the city. The house agent: "You say you have no children, phonograph, or radio, and you don't keep a dog? You seem just the quiet tenant the owner insists on." The House Hunter: "I don't want to hide anything about my character, so you might tell the owner that my fountain pen squeaks a bit." GRADUATE nurse desires position as su nurse.

By the Way "The Big Parade," which cost the MetroGoldwyn Motion Picture Company about $360,000 to produce, will show a net profit to that company of $4,000,000. This information has come out in connection with the claim of King Vidor, the director of the picture, for a share in the profits. Before the film was released, Vidor claims, the corporation induced him to sell his profitsharing arrangement to it for the sum of $25,000. From "Of All Things," by Howard Brubaker: "Of course John Galsworthy is quite right in saying we are a humane nation. If we find textile workers suffering from intolerable conditions, we mercifully put them out of their misery with police clubs." "It is a pleasure to confirm Dr. Straton's testimony that Palm Beach is America's cleanest resort. We know ever so many people who got cleaned there." Bobby Leach, whose claim to fame is that ho went over Niagara Falls in a barrel without being killed, slipped on an orange peel in New Zealand, broke his leg, and died from the injury. Emily Silbon, who performs dangerous acrobatic feats twice daily in Barnum & Bailey's Circus, flirting with death in every performance, has been forced to leave the show on account of serious injuries. Was she hurt while doing her trapeze stunts? No, she fell out of a prosaic rocking-chair in her apartment. "A woman told me that she knew that she had a bad temper," says Billy Sunday, "but she was over it in a minute.' So is the Gatling gun, but it blows everything to pieces." "There goes a remarkable fellow." "How so?" "I had a severe cold last week, and he offered me no advice whatsoever."

A Negro parson held forth as follows: "Brudders and sistahs, I want to warn you against de heinous crime ob stealin' chickens, and fuddermo' I wants to warn you against the heinous crime of stealin' watermelons." At this point an old Negro rose up and snapped his fingers and sat down again. "Wharfo', brudder, does you rise up and snap you' fingers when I speak ob watermelon stealin'?" "Yo' jes' reminds me, parson, where I left ma knife," was the reply. The price of potatoes having mounted to five dollars a bushel in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, sixty families have united in a NoPotato Club, with the object of refusing to eat spuds until the cost comes down.

Classified advertisement in a Florida HENRY SEIDEL CANBY, CHAIRMAN HEYWOOD BROUN DOROTHY CANFIELD CHRISTOPHER MORLEY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE The best new book each month selected for you by this committee AND SENT TO YOU REGULARLY ON AP- Think over the last few years. How often have interesting books appeared, widely discussed and widely recommended, books you were really anxious to read and fully intended to read when you "got around to it," but which nevertheless you missed! Why does this happen to you so often? The true reason lies in your habits of book-buying. Through carelessness, or through the driving circumstances of a busy life, you simply overlook obtaining books that you really want to read. Or you live in a district remote from bookstores, where it is impossible to get the best new books without difficulty. This need be true no longer. A unique service has These "best books" are chosen for you, from the this Selecting Committee, who have agreed to perform this service, are listed above. With each book sent there is always included some interesting comment by a member of the committee upon the book and the author. The price at which the books are billed to you is in every case the publisher's retail price. There are no extra charges for the service. A very interesting prospectus has been prepared, explaining the many conveniences of this plan. This prospectus will convince you of several things: that the plan will really enable you always to "keep up' with the best of the new books; that you will never again, through carelessness, miss books you are anxious to read; that the recommendations of this unbiased committee will guide you in obtaining books that are really worth-while; that there is no chance of your purchasing books that you would not choose to purchase anyway; and that, in spite of the many conveniences of the plan, the cost of the books you get is no greater than if you purchased them yourself. Send for this prospectus, using the coupon below or a letter. Your request will involve you in no obligation to subscribe. BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB, INC. 218 West 40th St. Dept. 23-E New York, N. Y.
