GLIMPSES OF HUMAN NATURE Muoti That U Interacting to 8tudsnts of Mankind Revealed by Income Tax Returns. TThe proper study of mankind Is *vrote Alexander Pop*, the Kng llah poet. Wvre I'oi>e living today ha would turn lo the crowded bank or - ? Uwytr1! office, where Income rax re turn a are filled out. remark* the HaU tlmore Sun. There wai tha young couple, for ex- j ?in Kile, who niiide a goodly Income last year by doing without a home. They figured the boom in real estate could be turned to good account by them while they were young and able to endure Inconvenience*. So they bought a little house and moved Into It Within three weeks they had sold * It at an advanced piico. They then bought another houae and aold It shortly thcr<mfter. They did not live In any one house mbre than six weeks, mill, while living In It, the husband painted and repaired, while the wife scrubbed and whitewashed. It was hard work, to be sure, but at the end of the year they had $8,000 profit There was the young conductor, whose income last year was 11,870, and who was bemoaning the fact that he wasn't married. "You're In luck," said the income tax clerk. "It would , be tough to be married in tbese days of the high cost of living on an Income Of fl,875.M The smooth-faced, red-cheeked young conductor did net see It that way. When he had finished be walked off whistling, In plaintive fashion, "Gee, I Wlah I Had a Girl." One found honesty, too* In people In whom It was leant expected. There was the racetrack follower, for exam ple, who admitted that he made his living by betting on tbe horses. He figured, he ssid, that he had made $50 a week and the income tax clerk filled ?ut the return that way. l*he next morning he wss back again. "I think I've made a mistake in my ' figuring," he said. "I believe 1 should have done it this way." He showed tne revised figures to the clerk, by ? .A which hl? weekly income was In the neighborhood of $75 a week. One poker player frankly admitted he had made $000 at the game last year, and the amount was shown In his return, while a fashionably-dressed woman whose Income ran Into the thousands claimed a loss of $4,000 for money lent a friend, although when presaed for details regarding the tran saction she blurted out: "Oh, that's not necessary ? I put it In that way laat year." The Uncertain Zeppelin. With 80 passengers occupying Its comfortable cabin theblg German Zep pelin Ilodensee sank toward its land ing field near Berlin. The regular 'trip from Frledrlchshafen had been made without incident. Then, says Popular Mechanics Magnzlne, every thing went wrong. Unexpected air currents daubed the ship against the earth, broke th? cabin windows, dl? abled tho engines n?ui put out the lights. A' aide puff drove tho craft j into (he crowd of onlookers and killed one person and maimed five oth ers. More humps followed as the cap tain tried vainly to pass his mooring lines to the hnngar crew below. Then an upward current seized the .great ship and carried It high into the Air. Meanwhile, the terrified passengers were huddled fn tho cntifrt trttfC ftxtten. After u time the mechanics succeeded In repairing the engines, and finally, near midnight, the airship was brought safely to earth In a grove of stunted fir trees In the Ilarz mountains. Change of Job for Crabs. I/and crabs have been at one task for many years; and u Senegalese sol dier, still serving In France, thinks that the time has arrived to relieve them of tho monotony of (heir present calling. He has planned out n new home and a new situation for them by setting them to work as scavengers. The crabs would be lodged In large cages oj wired trelllswork, and In the eve Ding the crabs, being freed, quickly devour the garbage, their nafural, bpifco-lovlng disposition making them qylckly return to their domiciles. Thus, not only clean streets, but a consider able saving of money would b? effect ed by the employment of these unpaid street cleaners; but what if they j struck against the proposition? Profitable Evening. "What sort of nn entertainment la on hand for tonight?" Inquired a guest. I "I have been overhearing bits of anl- , mated conversation about It, but do : n^ exactly understand the nature of It? rsome kind of a contest, Isn't It?" j "feh-yah 1" replied the landlord of tlje Petunia tavern.

T Ride on Goodyear Tires in That Sturdy Small Car of Yours It surprises certain users of small cars to find , that thf y can obtain Goodyear Tires at a first cost ordinarily not greater, and sometimes less, than that of other tires* This initial value, as well as the very low final cost, results from the application of Goodyear experience and care to their manufacture in the world's largest tire factory devoted to 30x3-, 30 x 3 and 31 x 4-inch sizes. Such facts explain why more cars, using these sizes, were factory * equipped last year with Goodyear Tires than with any other kind* If you drive a Ford, Chevrolet, Maxwell, or Dort take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy real Goodyear value and economy; equip your car with Goodyear Tires and Heavy Tourist Tubes at the nearest Service Station* 30 x Cioodyear Douhlc-Cure 150 Fabric, A 11- Weather Tread ? . ^ jLj? - 30*314 Goodyear Single-Cure 50 Fabric, Anti-Skid Tread ? ? ? ^ Z* A ?
