The wisest remark l have heard in many a day is this: A man is usually conservative in the subject about which he knows the most. If you win think about this you will son that it explains a mass of contradictions in people. For instance, 1 know a doctor who is a progressive. if not a radical, in his attitude toward almost every- thing except the medical profession. He thinks the governman inter- ference is always wrench-except in the practice of medicine. lie is bit- terly opposed to the licensing of any other than the graduates of ap- proved medical schools. - I know a lawyer who favors every “ism" in the newspapers. except the proposal to take the legislative veto away from the supreme court. He would fight for the maintenance of title right, heartily and valiantly. Proprietors of radical urban news- papers scream against boys and girls going to work in factories be- fore they are sixteen years old. yet when a group of old ladies.,undcv; boys under twelve from selling newspapers on the streets. the odi- tors are able to prove to their own satisfaction that this ordinance would deprive the children of a valuable training and their families of a needed source of income. . Business men are often radicals in demanding a reform of the educa- tional system or the daily press. but when their own institutions are at- tacked by outsiders they can see only nonsense in the proposals. A writer. whose name has been identified with every reform from birth control to paper-bag cooking, was asked to give his assistance to a spelling reform. What happened? Words are Jewels to him. He loves the English language. English liter- ature. He launched a vicious attack against the reformers. pointing 'out that to force changes in spelling would he a criminal destruction of our literary culture. Farmers believe that business en- terprises identified with Wall Street 'ehould be shackled by government restrictions and prohibitions. yet they see no reason why their own operations should come within the scope of these laws. Therefore. in an amendment, they have them- selves specially exempted! Union in- bor leaders. following the ' same thought. do likewise. it is a matter of common obser- vation that a childless man or wo- man has more positive ideas about the rearing and training of children a. 1110ng of ten is a moss-covered reactionary. Her ears are closed to new-fangled notions. I imagine she feels toward suggestions about the some way the president of a billion- dollar‘ railroad feels when a semi. tor. whose experience in railroading takes to get the city council to stop than any mother or father. In fact. thanhings Strike Home is limited to traveling in a Pullman car. undertakes to indict railroad .managcmcut for inefficiency. i You can complete this list your- iself. and I dare say you will i l i i l i v London Also Has Some Bobbed Bandits The hob-haired bandit and other types of the women criminal who have been opt-rating with increas- iing frequency in London recently find are declared by investigators to be- some amusement in it.

An Automatic Cow A cow that. gives new milk. skimmed milk. malted milk. cream. fruit-flavored um): and ice cream to order is the remarkable animal for-which carpenters are building a special shed on board the African steamer Nigerian in the Herculan- sum dock at Liverpool. This‘cow ncvsr kicks or flicks its tail in the mllker's eye: never is seasick. nevnr dry. and can be milked‘by a marine engineer in mid-Atlantic as well as by a mllkmaid on a Cheshire form. All the Nigerian's cow needs~ia a diet" of milk powder. fresh butter and a drink of water. The milk is claimed to be as rich and fresh as that from any dairy cow, although she looks like an electric machine. __...___ ”Charleston Wins The hotels at Nice have removed their ban against the Charleston. It took a young Japanese to effect the change. Dressed mostly in plus fours and dancing with his Parisian-goWn— ed wife to the strains of an’Alneri- can jazz orchestra. the Japanese succeeded in what hundreds of Amer- icans had failed. The hotel dancing master tried to argue with him but the effort was in vain ‘for the dancers professed to speak Japanese only. So the couple went on with their dance not knowing what the trouble was about and at the end of the hour twa hundred couples were Charleetoning. or attempting to Charleston. The next evening the signs prohibiting the Charleston had disappeared from the various hotel dance floors and the new dance is sweeping over the city rapidly. i i i i type.

Scotland Yard. focal point of England's crime detection system. admits it has a problem on its hands in dealing with the feminine crime wave, which has developed in many recent cases of burglary. house- breaking. frauds on merchants. note forgeries. holdups. blackmail and other forms of law-breaking. Num- bers of these activities are attribut- cd to pupils of the "Limehouso Liz- zlo’s" school. Must Be 26 To Be “Grown Up” Enough To Operate Taxicab When is a man grown up? Not until he is 26. says the London Gen- oral Omnibus company. which em- ployee several thousand drivers and conductors in covering the London area with its network of speedy bus services. . The company believes that youths normally develop their sense of re- sponsibility to full pitch between the ages of 24 and so and it will not accept as drivers men who have not rcached the latter age. "We do not say anything against the young man of 34." says one of the chiefs of the selection staff. “We choose men of that age to fill va- cancies as conductors. But we will rot take them as drivers until they are 26." English Cathedral Hears Negro Melodies American negro melodies have been introduced into the musical program of the old Southwark cath- edral. Just across London Bridge on the south side of the Thames. Noon- day recitals are given there for the benefit of the porters at the hope market and other workers from nearby establishments. "The selections are from the "negro spirituals." or plantation hymns. and are expected to prove a potent drawing card for luncheon hour audiences in this busy district.
