The Fake Benefit IChcket
How the returns from "benefit enterprises
shrinks by the time they
reach the hands <bt those they were
intended to help is illustrated in a
case in New York.,
A .Beaux-Arts ball recently was
staged at the Atlantic Beach club for
the advertised benefit of several organizations.
including St. Joseph's
hospital, of Far. Rockaway. Before
the amount realized was determined,
the hospital authorities announced
-they would refuse to accept their
share because it was a policy of the
Catholic church to disapprove .generally
of bathing beauty contest? and
such a contest had been one of the
features of the ha!!.
When the final accounting was
made by those in charge of the ball,
' it developed that the hospital would
have received as its share of the
profits only $0.22. The total receipts
were $1 .WS'i.bO. The expenses amounted
to $1,866.02. leaving but $17).K8 to
be divided among the beneficiary organizations.
What price benefit?
Those who patronize such affairs
more for the purpose of helping a
good cause rather than to enjoy the
occasion could do better by contributing
about 10 per cent direct. And
very likely they could have more fun
elsewhere with the other 90 per cent.
How To Replace
Lost Certificates
Producers who have lost their participation
trust certificates in the
Cotton Producers' Pool of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration
may obtain an additional advance of
two cents a pound or offer their certificates
to the pool for sale without
delay despite the loss of the certificate-.
under a plan announced. These
producer.-, must execute an affidavit
or. a form furnished by the Adminis
rati -n it. order to receive a duplicate.
If a producer has transferred his

More than 36,000 unemployed persons
passed through Arizona during
September, according to the figure.s

Welsh Relic* 4,000 Year* Old ?
Believed to be those of an old Welsh
chieftain, relics nearly 4,000 years old
were dug up on the site of a miniature
Stonehenge In Pembrokeshire, Wales.
A large circular area enclosed by
stones, s large cromlech and several
steep mounds were also discovered
during the excavations under the supervision
of officials of the National
Museum of Wr?dM. The discovery dissipates
the 'fciSory held for centuries
that the coffins were placed there by
the Druids. An expert declares that
the cists, which form the miniature
Stonehenge, probably belong to the
Bronze age, dating from about 2000

The Thermo* Bottle
Thermos bottle is a trade name for
a practical device Invented by Sir
James Dewar about 1892 for the purpose
of containing Intensely cold
liquefied gases. It Is also called' a

of a double-walled bottle or
flask In which there Is high vacuum between
the walls. ltndlntlon Is prevented
by silvering the walls, and
there Is. of course, nothing to conduct
heat across the vacuum. The small
opening to the flnsk Is usually stop
pered with a thick cork, this material
being ft very poor conductor of heat.

Inversion Is a process, not an object
or subject, says Diternry Digest. It Is
such n turning as gfves the opposite]
position or order. We invert the common
or natural position of n thing by
turning It upsl-.e down or upsetting it;
hence that which is Inverted is not.

Popular Carnation Kiiqwii
Before Sixteenth Century
Tti*? <?rl> blutury of the ciTtttUon^
La, unhappily, Idv?Iv?h1 to obscurity,
the earlle?l record of the pUukt dattog
oo further bark than tha beginning
of the Sixteenth ceutory. whan
Blahop Douglas* ooeotiona It among
other garden flower*. notes a correspondent
In the Kansas City Star. It
la aafa to aaaume tha carnation was in
cultivation touch earlier than wa ara
able to trace by any written record,
and not Improbably it was no uncommon
plant Turner's remark to
*fLlbeilua,H where ha calls It Incarnation,
that supposition. Recorded
in "Bakluyt"' written in 1568, the
word referring to the plant occurs as
if In common use. It was nqt until
Gerard published his -Herbal" la 15SIT
that the extent to which the carnation
was cultivated and the great numbers
of varieties that were at the time
grown in gardens, can be gauged fully.
It then suddenly bursts upon our
ken a fully developed flotfer, already
divided Into sections, the plants differing
from each other in the habitat
of growth and cultural requirements,
but alike in the remarkable range ef
colors embraced by each. It was said
varieties were introduced from various
countries, but Gerard's. declaration
that "every elymate and countrey
brlngeth forth new sortes" la no
doubt more consistent with fact.
Emerald Said to Promote
Friendship, Conquer Sin
The emerald la regarded as an emblem
of success In love. Its green
color Is said to promote friendship and
constancy of mind, while other authorities
attribute to It the meaning of immortality
and conquering of sin, wrltea
an authority In the Kansas City Star,
Even In the days of Pliny this stone
was highly esteemed; he wrote of emeralds:
"Neither dim nor shade, nor
yet the light of a candle, causes them
to lose their luster."
The fresh color of emerald was supposed
to be good for the eyes (bearing
out modern optical op'nlon on the
restful qualities of green), Pliny says.
"There is not a gem or precious stone
that so fully possesseth the eye, and
yet never contenteth It with satiety.
Nay, If the sight hath been wearied
and dimmed by intentive poring upon
anything else, the beholding of this
ato?6 doth refresh and restore It
again."
The finest emeralds in the rich velvet
and grass green color come from
the South American republic of Colombia,
the lighter green emeralds
from Takawaja, Asiatic Russia, and
New South Wales. Among poetical
references are the lovely lines from
Coleridge:
"I mark the ({low-worm, as I pass.
Move with 'green radiance" through th?
grajoi.
An emerald of light."
Nomination New* Delayed
Here Is an Incident Illustrative of
the Important role improved means of
communication have played In unifying
our nation, cites G. R. Turner In
the Kansas City Times. In 1848 the
Whigs nominated Gen. Zachary Taylor
as their candidate for President. To
the general, who at the time was living
on a farm In Louisiana, the chairman
of the convention immediately
dispatched a letter notifying him of
his nomination. But In those timet
postage was paid by the person receiving
a letter, and the general, tired
of paying postage on fan mall, refused
to accept the large bundle In
which the chairman's letter was Inclosed.
Two days later, thinking that
the bundle might have contained Important
information, he asked the post
office to return It. But the postmaster
in the meantime had marked "unclaimed"
the chairman's letter and returned
It to Washington. Thus it was
< that a uionth elapsed before tho general
whs able to gain possession of
the lette. and learn of his nomination.
The "Silver Spoon" Saying
Everybody has heard the saying, "he
was horn with a silver spoon in his
mouth" hut few know anything of its
origin. It dates back to the time of
the Tudor and Stuart reigns in England
when apostle spoons were given
as christening presents. These spoons,
which were made with an image of
one of the apostles on the end of the
handle, were very expensive and within
the reach of only the wealthiest
families. Tills meant that only the
children of tho rich would receive such
christening presents?hence the saying.

WHOLES ALU MARRIAGES
York title BecomingSoKtriouft For
Many laip?iUive Weddia*#
The report recently filed in tl*e of- ?
ftce of the clerk of court by E. C.
Rhode#, chief clerk to the comptroller
general, who made a careful audit of j
all the York county offices, again
brings into the spotlight the reputa*
tion of Yorkville as a marriage mart.
It says that the probate judge received
fbr marriage license feea the
last fiscal year, and paid over to the i
county treasurer, $4,408.5<k Since the
marriage license fee is $1.50, that
means that 2.030 marriage licenses
were issued in York county in twelve
months. V
Everybody knows, what the records
disclose, that only a small fraction of
these nearly 3,000 weddings here were
of residents of York county?Hind that
nearly all of them come from North
Carolina.
In fact, Yorkville has been famous
as the place where the Tarheel couples
who suddenly decide to end a joy ride
with a marriage come for the ceremony?as
well as the other couples
who are not allowed to marry by the
more modern marriage laws of ^Jorth
Carolina.
But in this state almost anybody
not entirely an idiot who says he or
she is of legal age, can get a marriage
license for the asking and the
payment of a dollar and a half. This
hjyt been made known to the Tarheel
lovelorn and impulsive young people,
and they flock here at the rate of
nearly ten couples a day to be
married.
In this state, where divorce is unknown
to the statute law, it is as easy
to get married as to buy a pair of
shoes?and nowhere in the state is it
easier for anybody to get'married
than in old Yorkville, with its marrying
probate judge.
The time of the 24 hours that some
motoring couple decide to come to
Yorkville to get married does not
matter at all. The judge lives in the
same street with the court house and
keeps a supply of marriage license
blanks at his home, of nights,
i He never comp'lains at being awakened
at 2 o'clock in the morning by a
boy and girl who want to be married
before they go home from their joy
ride which started in North (Carolina
the previous evening. The most
charming, pleasant man imaginable,
Judge E. Gettys Nunn is all courtesy
when routed out inthe middle of the
night to marry somebody. His usual
;fee is $5 which is quite as much as a
Yorkville physician charges for getting
up in the night and going a
couple of miles to see a patient.
But, unlike the doctors, the judge
charges no more for a night cerefnony
at his home than he charges for a
da* wedding at his office." It is
pretty well standardized now at $3 a
splice, for one and all, who are married
by the probate judge at Yorkville.
It used to be that the judge told the
groom his fee was whatever that man
thought his bride was worth, and the
fee varied from a dime to a sawbuck.
But it is now on a more businesslike
basis, and the judge tells the groom
the wedding fee is $5, in most cases,
at least. It used to average aboutthat,
but anybody can see the desirability
of making it a fixed sum, from
the standpoint of collections.
Formerly, when applicants for wedlock
asked the price of a jnarriage li'
cense, they were told the legal fee.
Now, generally the answer is:
"Six dollars and a half, a dollar and
a half for the license, and five dollars
for the ceremony." They nearly all
take the lot. license and ceremony,]
and pay the $*>.50. Occasionally, a j
couple will a.-k whether they can not
go to a minister to be married, but (
not many outlanders do that. It
looks a little like the Yorkville,
preachers are having to meet hard
competition now as regards wedding
fees.
Of course, not all the couples licensed
to marry in York county are
married by the probate judge. Those
resident in this county mostly are
spliced by ministers. But the hegira
of couple.? iram North Carolina, most
of whom are married by the probate
judge at $5, make that office of judge
of probate a gold mine, especially in
these hard times.
Allowing that nearly 500 of the
couples married in that last fiscal j
year had a ceremony by somebody (
other than the judge?a minister, a
magistrate or a notary public?which
as a rule means that they are residents
of York county?and there re- i
main 2,500 licensed and married by :
the judge in that twelve months embraced
in the report of the audit.
And 2,500 wedding ceremonies at ?5
each would bring in $12,500 income in
one year?probably more than any
other^nan in York county, bank president
or corporation executive, waR"
paid during any year lately.?York-j
