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. "The owners of
all the ouIJa boards In town will be at J
the op'ry house with 'em this evening. |
The general public will assemble. Fdr I
26 tents each comer will be entitled to ?
onoi messago ftoxn a Hindoo, Eskimo,
Digger Injun, or somebody, on the other j
s^ore ? or five messages for $1 ? nnd a
grand prize of $5 will be given to the 1
person receiving the silliest communl- 1
catk?n." ? Kansas City Star.

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*
