Henry R. Rose, Newark, N. J. BY THE ONCERNING a paragraph in this department on page 648 of The Outlook for August 22, which was quoted from the New York "Tribune," a reader says: Basil M. Manly in the "Train Dispatcher," Vol. V, No. 8, page 33, says that "... one alleged coke-worker had bought an airplane. . . Lowell Mellet went to the coke region . . . and discovered the truth. The general superintendent of one of the coke companies, an Englishman formerly in the air service, had bought an airplane... but the real coke-workers are almost in destitution because they lost their strike . . . last year." Whatever may be the fact about the condition of the "real coke-workers," there was an element of truth, as well as of humor, in the "Tribune's" playful comment on the prosperity of the workmen of to-day, which enables many of them to use such luxuries (?) as flivvers in going to and from their work. "Ill-health and approaching old age caused Thomas C. Harbaugh, 'Cap. Collier' of dime-novel fame, to auction off his personal belongings, preparatory to going to the Miami County infirmary at Troy, Ohio, but through the efforts of a newspaper friend he will go instead to the Middleton, Maryland, Hospital." So says "The Writer." The item will no doubt interest those who, as boys, may by chance have succumbed in an idle hour to the wiles of "Old Cap. Collier" in one of his numerous stories of crime and mystery. In a car-building contest in the shops of the Texas and Pacific Railroad at Marshall, Texas, on July 27, the winning crew built a freight car in five hours and fifty-five minutes. Eight crews of four men each participated in the contest. The slowest crew took only six hours and forty minutes to complete their job. And this in Texas, on a July day! A recent book by an English visitor to America speaks of the great extent of this country and the consequent difficulty on the part of its inhabitants in knowing it comprehensively. "Few Americans," says the author, "can name half a dozen Governors of States." This suggests a summerporch game: Who can give the largest number of names of Governors? of Senators? of Representatives? Do you know the name of your Representative in Congress? In your State Senate or Assembly? How many Ambassadors to foreign countries can you name? How many members of the President's Cabinet can you name? Can you name four National figures? In answering the last-named WAY question, the book referred to says, the answer of one person included the champion baseball player and Charlie Chaplin ! From the "Woman's Journal:" Minister's Wife "Wake up! There are burglars in the house, John." Minister "Well, what of it? Let them find out their mistake themselves." "Look at the workmen in industrial establishments and places where building operations are going on, when they are eating their lunches, and you will see each with a pint or a quart bottle of milk by his side. Formerly it was a can of beer." So says a clipsheet issued by a church board of It adds that the cor temperance. sumption of milk increased from + wet days of 1917 to the dry days 1922 in about the proportion of 8 102. This is probably a much gr percentage than the normal inci in population in that period. From "Tit-Bits:" Father "Tommy, stop pulling cat's tail." Tommy-"I'm only h ing the tail; the cat's pulling it." In regard to an item published this column July 18 concerning first edition of "Science and Heal for which an advertiser in a daily per asked $1,000, a subscriber writ that the high price demanded was probably owing to the fact that the first edition of that famous book had been "called in" because of certain mistakes in it, which had been corrected in later editions. Whether this is so or whether a merely sentimental value has attached itself to this edition of "Science and Health," as is common with the first editions of many celebrated books, we do not know. Perhaps some bibliophile can enlighten our readers. The value of a positive recommendation as contrasted with a negative suggestion is emphasized by the "Railway Age" in quoting the methods of a general manager of the Union Pacific Railroad. His educational bulletins sometimes consisted of a single sentence: "A torpedo would have prevented this accident!" If he had said, the "Railway Age" adds, "A conductor has been dismissed for failure to observe Rule 99," or "for overlooking an opposing train," the announcement would have had little value in comparison. From "Le Rire." Paris: "He's a witty lad, don't you think?" "Heavens, no. We both subscribe to the same humorous paper."

The Telephone Transmitter, the Gramophone, the Disc Record were invented by an immigrant Jew? "Home, Sweet Home" was written by the son of a Jewess.

The Greatest Britannica Bargain Ever Offered! The New Encyclopaedia Britannica TO-D 12th Edition, 32 Volumes at Half the Price of the regular Cambridge Issue O-DAY you can buy the Encyclopædia Britannica at the greatest price reduction it has ever been possible for us to make: To you and to the thousands who have said, "Some day I will own the Encyclopædia Britannica,” this announcement is news of the utmost importance. It means that while this sale lasts-a very short time, at most-you can obtain a complete set of the new Britannica in 32 volumes for one half the price of the regular Cambridge Issue. Due to the changed and changing conditions of the publishing business, manufacturing costs have increased enormously. Up to this time the Britannica has been published in two forms and in more styles of binding than any other work. The Cambridge Issue has been sold in eight bindings-the Handy Volume Issue in no less than fifteen. We had to decide whether we would raise the prices on the Britannica in all its forms, including the Cambridge, or standardize on one size and a few bindings. Standardization, saving money for us and for you, was the inevitable decision. Now, the Handy Volume Issue, characterized by leading educators and business men as the "greatest book-making achievement of the age," is to be discontinued. Only a Few Sets Left Our small remaining stock of the Handy Volume sets is in five choice bindings. Half are in the popular Maroon Cloth, the binding in which the Britannica has gone into the most homes in its history. The other half are divided among the Library Buckram, Full Brown Sheepskin, Three-quarters Levant and Three-quarters Levant De Luxe. These sets are the 12th and latest edition in 32 volumes, including the three volumes prepared since the close of the war, making the Britannica the most up-to-date reference, fact and historical book in the world. All the sets are printed on genuine India paper, that master creation of the paper-maker, which gave the Britannica new beauty, lightness and convenience. With each set FREE is a handsome $20.00 mahogany finished bookcase, specially designed for us by Maple & Co., world-famous cabinetmakers of London. Never in Your Life Will You Have a Better Opportunity. Our stock of these Handy Volume sets is so small that only a few more people will be able to secure this monumental work in its most compact and convenient form. When these are gone there NEVER will be any more. Give thought to this! The Britannica is the world's standard authority on all matters of fact and history. It throws light on every phase of man's knowledge and activity. Seize this opportunity before it is too late! Your chance is here, the time is now. The few remaining sets of the Handy Volume Issue will not last long. This minute!!

Until you have read it you have no idea how much 15 minutes a day can mean in growth and success. Send for your copy now ERE are two men, equally good-looking; equally welldressed. You see such men at every social gathering. One of them can talk of nothing beyond the mere day's news. The other brings to every subject a wealth of side light and illustration, that makes him listened to eagerly. He talks like a man who has traveled widely, though his only travels are a business man's trips. He knows something of history and biography, of the work of great scientists, and the writings of philosophers, poets, and dramatists. Yet he is busy, as all men are, in the affairs of every day. How has he found time to acquire so rich a mental background? When there is such a multitude of books to read, how can any man be well-read? The answer to this man's success-and to the success of thousands of men and women like him-is contained in a free book that you may have for the asking. In it is told the story of Dr. Eliot's great discovery, which, as one man expressed it, "does for reading what the invention of the telegraph did for communication." From his lifetime of reading, study, and teaching, forty years of it as President of Harvard University, Dr. Eliot tells just what few books he chose for the most famous library in the Send for this FREE booklet that gives Dr. Eliot's own plan of reading world; why he chose them, and how he has arranged them with notes and reading courses so that any man can get from them the essentials of a liberal education in even fifteen minutes a day. The booklet gives the plan, scope, and purpose of Dr. Eliot's Five-Foot Shelf of Books The Fascinating Path to a Liberal Education Every well-informed man and woman should at least know something about this famous library. P. F. COLLIER & SON COMPANY, Publishers of Good Books Since 1875 The free book tells about it-how Dr. Eliot has put into his Five-Foot Shelf "the essentials of a liberal education," how he has so arranged it that even "fifteen minutes a day" are enough, how in pleasant moments of spare time, by using the reading courses Dr. Eliot has provided for you, you can get the knowledge of literature and life, the culture, the broad viewpoint that every university strives to give. |
