found in the state than those in close

Ancient rulers liked uncouth
dwarfs and strangely deformed
creatures about them. In that respect
the human race is not entirely
changed.
In Los Angeles an undertaker
builds an unusual coffin for Theodure
Valenzucla, known to the circus
as "One Ton Tom." He weighed 945
pounds.
People paid to see him. If he had
weighed only forty-five pounds they
wpuld have paid to see him, and if
he had had two heads, fat or thin,
they would have paid more.
With One Ion Tom" and everybody
else too fat, the trouble is overeating
or defective metabolism. Part
of our energy creates new tissue.
W hen old tissue sttfys, you get fat.
Beware of fat after fifty. It

i ??T - The
good Bishop William Montgomery
Brown, put out of the Episcopal
Church for doing his own thinking,
alried to compel the church by
legal procedure to take him back.
His lawyers sued "the Protestant
Episcopal ChuYch of the Onited
States of America."
But the court says there is no such
organization, no such thing for
Bishop Brown to sue; so his suit falls
to the ground.
1 he aged bishop is puzzled to knowhow
an organization could be real
enough to throw him out and not
real enough to stand a lawsuit.
There are more mysterious things!
than that in religion.
- We are all influenced by" others..
Students have protested against "yn falrness
and cruelty" that forced
human beings to be present at relig,
ious services every day? So cuniversity
officials made chapel attendance
no longer compulsory.
Now the prisoners in jail at New
Haven, Conn., say they' also consider-it
"unfair and cruel" to make
them go to chapel every clay. They,
want the same rights as Yale stud-"
ents. But they are willing to go to
church once a week, wHereas the
Yale men demanded the right to stay
away altogether. This shows how
careful we should be to set a good
example.
The French Minister of Industry
discovers that fashion can affect a
nation's prosperity. France makes
silks, velvets, feathers, rules fashion.
Women have been using little material
in their dresses, and French industries
have suffered. That is to
change.
Soon American women will find
themselves wearing longer skirts,
fashions calling for many yards of
goods.
Secretary Hoover, in an able
speech, worries about our national
morals. "The moral and spiritual
may be submerged by our great
material success." He did not say
whether submergence would cpme
from the bootleggers, hijackers and
night dubs or from high finance.
In all ages good men have worried
about the general condition of morals.
One fine Roman emperor had to discipline
his own daughter.. But somehow
the human race manages to
stagger along, gradually improving.
Every new generation, every new
born baby, is a clean page on which
a new story of progress can be
J .written.
The Treasury Department, Bureau
of Efficiency, Crane and Company,
currency paper manufacturers, and
the Bureau of Standards combined,
after long research, announce that
the life of a one dollar hill is only
six months.
The average citizen can testify that
in some cases the life of a one dollar
bill is less than six minutes.
James Brand, four fears old, was!
disobedient. His father admits that!
he hod threatened to cut the boy's
head off, hoping the threat might]
frighten him into obedience. It had'
not that effect. On Monday Jnmos J
Brand got on axe and. trying to
carry out his father's idea, cut off
j the head of his little brother, aged 1
j three. Ho killed the brother,
