GIRLS WHO USE CUSS WORDS j
Singular Admijsion Said to Have Been
Made by the Members of a
Graduating Class.
It has Ion# been the fashion at col
leges and schools to take a census of
graduating classes to determine such
vital facts as these:
What is your favorite flower? How
tall are you? Do you smoke? Are
yon a prohibit louist ?
At a girls' seminary a recent inquiry
whs more sweeping. To 1 1? ?? intorrogn
f I on : "I)o you swear?" L'(X) of the l!lf>
girls answered yes.
(till admitting 1 1 1 it t they swear is
not proof that these feminine lips do
utter oaths. So at least says the law
in New York state, writes "(Jriant" In
the I'hiladelplria I'ress.
"Four or five people" must hear you
swear, not for a second or two, but
"for about five minutes"- that's the
law in North Carolina.
Down In Alabama they don't expect
a man to swear from the housetops,
but the law *ays that if three or four
persons hear you Just once, good
night |
in Tennessee it Is not necessary to
repeat the offensive words when a
culprit Is Indicted for swearing.
I saw on the veranda of a country
club seventeen women of whom twelve
were drinking an Intoxicat ini: liquor
and seven were smoking cigarettes.
Hut if that census at the uirls' semi
nary is an index, more women swear
than dally w ith .lolni Ihirlej corn or
Lady Nicotine

The "Biblers"
The Czeeho-Slovaks, having attain
ed national Independence, attain also
the privilege of reading the Bible in
the national tongue, so the British Bi
ble society is planning to print Czech
Bibles purchasable for .r?0 cents each.
Austrian* and Italians have long
culled the Czeeho-Slovaks "Blhler's."
The Czech Bible was flr*t printed In
147B, but when the Czechs came under
Austria the priming and reading of
the Bibb' in their own language was
forbidden. Copies of the Czech Bible
were printed in other lands and smug
gled in, but were burned if discovered.
Religious persecution, dating back to
the time of John Huss, the Bohemian
reformer of the fifteenth century, com
bined with political persecution to
make the Czech Bible rare, but all the
more highly valued. Although, in mod
ern days, the Austrian government
permitted "the circulation of the
Czech Bible in the army, it continued
to prohibit the circulation among the
Czechs at home.

CAR /UST KEPT ON MOVING
Lucky for Sleeping Occupants That
the Road Had Been Cut Up Ly
Heavy Wagon.
I recoil a funny motoring Incident
that might have turned out decidedly
otherwise if it had not been for a
mere chance, writes a correspondent.
It occurred in the country during the
early spring.
A young feilow and his sister were
returning In the wee small hours from
a dance in a neighboring town. 'He
was driving a flivver. They were both
very tired, and finally they both
dropped off to sleep.
It so happened that late the day be
fore a heavy farm wagon had passed
that way, leaving deep ruta in the mud,
and during the evening these had froz
en solid. The car got Into these ruts
and ran along them with no one guid
ing It for some time. The tracks turn
ed several corners and finally turned
Into a farmyard and went Into the
barn.
The fllv turned the corners and fol
lowed the tracks into the yard. It
was going straight on and would have
smashed into the barn door had not
the girl waked in time to see the build
ing looming up just In front of them.
Realising the situation immediately,
she Jammed on the brake and stopped
the car u few feet from the closed
door.
I am assured that this is a perfectly
true story.

Cutting the Nation's Tire Bill.
"Forty maki'K of motor tires were
submitted to the bureau of standards
by the office of the quartermaster ge*
eral." writes Thomas H. Uzzell In Ev
erybody's. ' "They were given labora
tory 'durability runs.' after which they
were autopsied by the rubber special
ists. Their carcasses' were cut up and
the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched.
The results were discouraging. Even
the best of them seemed to suffer
from improper 'toughening.'
"So into their little rubber-mill went
the experts, with notes furnished them
by the 1 1 re manufacturers, and pro
ceeded to make up tire rubber
which bad the proper of tough
ness. They succeeded. They passed
out the word: 'The trouble is that yon
makers are not sifting your zinc oxid
before mixing It with the rubber com
pound.'
"The makers began to sift. Better
; tires resulted. Some $30,000,000 were
| iaved to the government. And today
j pou are enjoying a rut In your tire bill
; t>y getting better tires? a result of
j [hat experiment with zinc oxid."
