The magazines made up of supposed "true stories" have reached such enormous circulations (the original publication of this type has now passed the two-million mark) that the tabloid newspapers have adopted the policy of running daily confession tales. These "true stories" are written by members of the newspaper staff in their spare time. The usual rate of payment is twentyfive dollars per story, and an imaginative mind can average three stories per week. All of these tales follow a set formula. The key-note of that formula can be gleaned from the following excerpt taken from the instruction sheet of one of the editors: "Characters may do anything they please, but they must do it from some lofty, or apparently lofty, motive. If a girl falls, she must fall upward."

A great editor was dying. A physician leaned over him with a stethoscope, listened a few minutes, and then rose sadly.

"Poor man!" he announced. "Circulation almost gone."

With an effort, the editor lifted his head. "You're a liar!" he proclaimed, weakly. "Over four hundred thousand, and gaining every day."

Some statistics recently compiled by the Bureau of Census in Washington: Monthly average sales of music chain stores for 1925 totaled $1,101,000, as against $917,000 in 1924. The average monthly sales of the 1,420 Woolworth stores totaled $19,918,000; the Kresge Company averaged $8,831,000 per month in 298 stores; McCrory, $2,465,000 in 181 stores; and Kress, $830,000 in 166 stores. Child's restaurants averaged a monthly business of $2,028,000 in 1925, as compared with the monthly average of $1,945,000 in 1924. The Census Bureau predicts that the population of continental United States will be 117,135,817 by July 1 of this year.

"I have nothing but praise for the new minister," said a member of the congregation to the usher after the morning service. "So I observed while passing the plate," replied the usher.

John Casey, of Dublin, Ireland, a day laborer who has been drawing an unemployment dole from the British Government, now has an income of a thousand dollars a week from two plays written while idling at the expense of the Government. One of these dramas, "Juno and the Paycock," is now playing in New York.

The University of Kansas now announces that the reported "Red Flag of Bolshevism" which was secretly hoisted to the top of the R. O. T. C. flagpole turned out to be only a pair of scarlet bloomers.

A laundry in Brockton, Massachusetts, advertises that it will wash dogs and cats as well as collars and shirts.

The gospel of efficiency which on its negative, joyless side is the inability to see (Continued on page 504)

the value of things that cannot be used is illustrated by Dean Sperry as follows: "A young American who was found perched upon a hillside looking out over the Pacific Ocean, where not a sail nor a smudge of smoke on the sky-line was visible, was overheard to say, 'Yes, it's beautiful, but I hate to see all that water out there doing nothing.""

Dr. D. Fourmenthal, who was sent to America by the French Government to study our methods of making women more beautiful, found that forty per cent of the clients of the Chicago beauty doctors are men wanting wrinkles removed from about their eyes.

"Henry, it's raining cats and dogs. We must lend Mrs. Whitaker an umbrella, or she will get drenched going home."

"My dear, it's impossible. The only umbrella we've got has her husband's name engraved on it."

Do you remember the mechanical pianos of the old ice-cream parlors? These are now being replaced by radios which through a new invention operate on a "nickel in the slot" policy.

The "Epworth Herald" tells the following story:

Coal Man: "When I got around with that load o' coal for Mr. Jones, 'is 'ouse was on fire."

Coal Merchant: "That's unfortunate. I suppose he told you to bring it back?" "No; 'e said if it was anything like the last lot I'd better throw it on."

Rupert Hughes is going to cash in on the publicity he received last Washington's Birthday by criticising the private life of our first President. He admits that his forthcoming book on George Washington was written on account of that publicity.

A Connecticut lady's hobby of collecting every wooden cigar-store Indian she hears about accounts, no doubt, for the inability to find one of these old landmarks in the city of New York. Sitting Bull, Rain in the Face, Black Hawk, and all the other dignified chiefs of the redskins now stand in solemn rows across a bleak Connecticut field.

A very popular Broadway drama tells the story of a jazz singer who becomes a famous cantor in a synagogue. Chicago papers now tell us of Bud Varn, until recently a Baptist evangelist and the possessor of a Doctor of Divinity degree, who is now a blackface singing comedian on a Chicago vaudeville circuit.

Mama: "Where have you been, my son?" Small Boy: "Playing ball."

Mama (severely): "But I told you to beat the rug, didn't I?"

Small Boy: "No, ma'am; you told me to hang the rug on the line and then beat it."

A theater in Brockton, Massachusetts, conceived the publicity scheme of staging a tug of war between eight bobbed-haired girls and eight unbobbed girls. Difficulties experienced in finding eight young ladies with long hair almost killed the stunt.

Teacher: "Why are you late?" Pupil: "A man lost a dollar bill, and there were a hundred people looking for it." Teacher: "That's no excuse."

Pupil: "It certainly is. I was standing

on it."
