It has been discovered that these figures invariably come from adding the following: The year of one's birth, one's age, the year of marriage, and the number of years married. Are you married? If so, try it out yourself. It came to 3,852, didn't it? In reality, however, it is not as mysterious as it seems, for 3,852 equals twice 1,926 and the year of birth plus present age always equals 1,926, as does also the year of marriage plus the number of years married. It isn't your position, but your disposition that makes you happy or unhappy. The wife of a dying man sent out for a preacher to come to the bedside of her husband, who was no better than he should have been. The preacher came and said, "You had better renounce the devil, my friend." "Renounce the devil!" exclaimed the dying man. "Why I am not in the position to make any enemies now." At Laconia, New Hampshire, there is a combined dance pavilion and moving-picture theater. The dancers try to watch the picture on the screen and step around the hall to the tune of a jazz band at the same time. It is quite a customary sight to see the hall filled with couples dancing to lively music while a tragic death scene is being portrayed on the screen. ture is said to be highly profitable. What next? The ven A subscriber from North Carolina tells us of stopping at a rural hot-dog stand. After eating and drinking he read this sign: "If you eat here you'll never eat anywhere else." He lived to tell the tale. Another sign, noticed in the window of a "This is God's Washington pool-room: country. Don't set it on fire and make it look like hell." A buxom Irish girl approached the manager of the carnival side-show and said: "I want to speak to the Hindu mystic. Please tell her that it is her sister Bridget calling." The New York "Evening World" tells of a bohemian art tea garden in Greenwich Village. Two bandits have visited the premises recently. Sightseers have the habit of walking in and out of this garden unannounced. A conspicuous sign has now been hung outside the gate: Friends-ring once. The Talk is not cheap over the radio. Commercial Broadcasting Corporation is out with a rate card for covering air advertising. Prices vary with the time. In New York $100 pays for the hour from 6 to 7 P.M., $200 from 7 to 8, $300 between 8 and 10:30, and $150 from 10:30 to midnight, when it is presumed auditors will be yawning. These figures cover 52-times contracts. Three-minute talks before 8 P.M. in New York cost $50; ten minutes after 8, $125. Time and the wave-lengths would seem to put a considerable limit upon advertising oratory. Besides, it is easy to shut out the flow of commercialism. "Fighting again?" said the mother to her little boy who came home with two black "Didn't I tell you eyes and a bruised face. that when you were angry you should count to one hundred before you did anything?" "Yes, mother, but the other boy's mother had told him to only count up to fifty." Mr. Edwin A. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, Missouri, questions the statement in our department of July 14, "Russia alone declines to admit the Bible as an influence for good." He points out the fact that the Rev. I. S. Prokhanoff is in this country at the present time for the purpose of raising a fund for printing the Bible in Russia in the Russian language, and states that permission has been granted by the Russian Government and that the American Bible An Society is co-operating in the work. inquiry at the American Bible Society brings the following comment: "It has been extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the last four or five years to A few shipments get Bibles into Russia. for which permission was secured by Russians from their Government have been admitted. All others have been stopped, whether sent by way of the Black Sea, the Caucasus, China, or the Pacific ports. Permission, however, now has been granted to print considerable editions at the Government printing offices in Moscow and Leningrad." It is generally believed that Hearst's New York "Daily Mirror" is responsible for the reopening of the now famous Halls-Mills murder case. Detectives were employed for over a year by the above-mentioned tabloid in an attempt to discover new evidence. "Why should a daily newspaper interest itself to this extent?" some may ask. The answer is evident from recently As soon as reported circulation figures. the New Brunswick murder mystery resumed its featured position one hundred thousand readers were immediately added to the former circulation of the "Mirror." Those of us who can remember the days, not many years ago, when we went to the movies for a nickel were given rather a shock when we noticed the regular $3 admission price to John Barrymore's new picture, "Don Juan," in New York City. From "Gargoyle:" "What is an opportunist?" "One who meets the wolf at the door and appears the next day in a fur coat." Answer to last week's problem: "Dame Mead made Edam.
