NEEDED COURSE IN WISDOM In \ncient Days it Was Well Recog nized That the Young Required - Proper Instruction. Instruction of the young by the old was not out of date when "The Wisdom Books" were written, according to Dr. Josiah H. Penniuian. acting provost of tne University, of Pennsylvania. "The people who wrote the Bible were very han," declared Doctor Penniman. and hie illustrated this with many passages Irom the Scriptnres. "The book of wisdoiml told the people w1nt to do. ani mst of the people needed it." IDictor 'Penniimai said. "There were just as an1*y wirea fo ishi proba'bly the avera:e has Iwel Ia InaI'd. Anrm.; ci )oe r enian:'s o: her say ings were the fulhe-xin.:: "They offered ilicmy !o .1 db when they knew he did not need it." "P-e sure your s4i w i!l tind y(o it." he quoted. and then :ied. "Ycu :uow perfectly well a lit of your s.iis will find you out." "The tongrue has always been one of the greaiest mischief makers. as wit ness 'where there is no whispierer ((ii tention ceases.'" "I need not explain 'he that winketh with the eye findeth sorrow '" "Sob stuff was apparently used in olden days, for Delilah said to Samson, 'Thou hast told a riddle unto thy neigh bors, but not unto me.'" "'What does lie get for it?' was ask ed of Job as it is today of those who get into the public view." Doctor Penniman declared Job was the most artistic of the Wisdom books, and in some respects of all the books of the Bible. WAS CENTER OF INTEREST Student Quite Unwittingly Furnished Amusement for a Large Number of People. While I was a student in college I think I amused the largest number of people it was ever my fortune to en tertain at one and the same- time. I know I came nearer to wishing to van ish off the face of the earth at that moment than ever before or since. The morning schedule in this college consisted of four periods for recita tions with five minute periods of inter mission between classes. All classes were dismissed and summoned from and to classrooms at the same time by a small bell operated exactly like the ordinary doorbell. This bell was in stalled in the entrance hall of the building-where most of the st 'cnts congregated during intermissinis. For the convenience of the students a telephone was likewise placed in this hall. One morning the usual crowd of students was gathered In the hall, valting for the signal to call them back into classes. When It came, mis taking it for a telephone call, I hastily picked up the receiver and called "Hello." No answer-so I repeatod m5 "Hello" louder. By this time I had the attention of most of the students-they stopped their chattering and were Intent on watchig me wake up. It was a rude awakening.-Exchange. With Remarks From the General, While I was a lieutenant in the - army at a western training camp we had a parade and divisional reviewv before a well-known general, and I invited some girls to see it. We were marching along in a column of fours wvith another company on each side of us. We were to keep on this way until we got in front of the general, when we were to turn left and go for ward, the commar~d to be "Squads leff." I must have been excited, for I shouted "Squads right," and, like good soldiers, my company obeyed. There was great confusion, of course. The gcaeral sawv it all and sent an orderly to get mae. When I confront ed him I received some cutting cen sure. During the most heated part of his lecture I saw my friends standing at the fence not five feet away, taking It all in.-Chicago Trib uine.

As Waiter Dill Scott suggests, every business youth, on beginning his or her business life, should adopt en -avocation, a fad, some outside In terest, only less absorbing than his business, and should continuously cul tivate It as a foil, a rest, a saving grace to his business.

NEEDS TOO MUCH EXERTION Writer Refuses to Go Too Deeply Into What Might Be Called "I and Me" Problem. The line, "Look what I done for you and him and me," is good American, but better American, I believe, would be. "Look what I done for him and you and I." This' however, writes Ring Lardner In the Bookman, brings up a subject to which one ought to be able to devote a whole volume, but one ain't goin' to. One Is only goin' to state that mysterious rules govern the cases o6 personal pronouns in our language--and one hasn't had time to solve the-mysteries even since prohibi tion. We say, "He come up to me in the club," but we also say, "He come up to Charley and I in the club," or even "He come up to I and Charley in the club." Charley's presence in the club seems, for "some reason or another," to alter my case. The other night I was reading a play script by one of this country's foremost dramatists; and recurring in it was the stage di rection, "A look passes between he and So-and-So." But this playwright wouldn't think of saying or writing, "She passed he a look." My theory on this particular point is that when the common American citizen, whom we will call Joe, was in his last year in school (the sixth grade), the teacher asked him how many boys there were in his family. He replied: "Just Frank and me." "Just Frank and I," corrected the teacher. And the correction got Joe balled up. NO CHANCE FOR COLLECTORS Steins Now Valuable Only as Memen. toes Are Kept Securely Chained to the Wall. Beer steins, wine glasses and bar towels are rapidly joining the dust covered and mildewed relics' of the days that preceded January 16, 1920, when the prohibition law went into effect. As the saloons become scarcer, bar room paraphernalia, from a relic col lector's viewpoint, become more valu able. One restaurant in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn is taking no chances on losing its mementoes of the past days. The stained glass windows of the old saloon remain, but the bar has been removed to make way for the tables of the new restau rant. In the redecorated establish ment a shelf runs entirely around the room. All along the shelf are ex quisite old German beer steins, relics of former days and more valuable now as mementoes. Passing through the handle of each stein Is a chain, which is nailed to the wall. Unscrup ulous souvenir hounters. waiting until the waiter's back is turned, find their designs foiled.

Sleepy Sickness Sleepy sickness is quite a different disease from the somewhat similarly named, but 4ar more deadly, sleeping sickness, which Is a tropical disease. Sleepy sickness was first noticed in England in 1918. There is little doubt that the cause of this mysterious com plaint is a microbe. The microbes con entrate their attack on the brain, causing lethargy and facial paralysis, the patient lying for days in bed with motionless head and expressionless face, like a mask, reminding one of the effigy on a tomb. Doctors are not yet :efinitely agreed as to whlether the hic cugh epidemic and the sleepy sickness are different disenises, or wvhether the ne is merely a symptom of the other. Probably the latter view is the correct oe, seeing that violent and prolonged iccoughs were noticed in connection rith the outbreak of sleepy sickness that ravaged Vienna in the early part f last year. French Children Make Toys. One of the most interestins toy manufactories of France is not a fac ory at all, but a communal schooi in Paris, directed by an amateur design er. who during the war interested the bildren in the making of toys after us own designs, which were so orig nal that there was an immediate de nandl for them. Furthermore, the hildren wvho were making the toys ecame so much interested in the work that a large sum was realized, part of which was turned into the reasury of the institution, but a part was spent in giving the work-I ers some diversion. The business is to be continued on a larger scale tan ever before. Sun's Glow Changes in Shape. The Gegenschein, the mysterious midnight glow in the sky opposite the sun, is not constant in form. Prof. E. . Barnard finds that in early autumn t uppears as a roundish dIffused mass f noticeable light, sometimes 40 de grees or 50 degrees or even more in diameter. At no other point In its path is it so large. But in October it becomes smaller and elongated, a change believed to be due to the mingling of its light with that of an auroral band reaching it at this sea son of the year. Fire Water.

Public Misled as to Situation People are misled and conclude that igh rates have stopped the moveilment f a large amount of freight and that he railways wouid make more money it they would reduce the rates, and hereby revive the traffic. There Is th~e strongest reason to be leve thiat the very great reduction in rffic has beeni due almost entirely to eneral business conditioni that are orld-wide in their effect, and that ould .have come if there had been no atvance in freight rates. Prices of commodities reached their aximum in the first halt of the year 92(0 and thereafter fell with great apidity in France, the United states nd the United Kingdom.
