Trained Ears Detect
Fault* in Machinery
Brans workers hear "tempers," dull
tools and noises imperceptible to ordi
nary ears. "Trained hearing has saved
us thousands of dollars," says a writer
In the official publication of a firm of
brass manufacturers of Waterbury, :
Conn. 4
, Some time ago it was discovered
that there were many employees of
the company, both men and women,
whose sense of bearing was so acate
that in spite of the deafening roar of
machinery, they could hear noises, or
the absence of noise*, that the ordi
nary person would never notice. In
every case it was discovered that this
unusual gift was not Inherited, but ac
quired..
It didn't come to them suddenly or
easily, but only after >4ars of experi
ence and familiarity with their work,
surrounded by. the same machines,
that their hearing would develop this
delicate keenness that gave them the
power to notice the smallest sound
amid other noises. A curious thing
was found, that the ability— Ul, more
common where factory noises are deaf
ening. It Is the overpowering noise
itself that makes these trained ears so
delicate that they can hear what
would be inaudible to others, observes
the Literary Digest.
Magical Power Seen
in Shorthand Writing
The ancients appear to have regard
ed their shorthand writers as pos
sessed of a facully closely akin to
magic. Ausonlus, a poet of the Fourth
century, addressing a shorthand wri
ter, says: "Your hand, of which the
movement Is hardly perceptible, llles
over the waxy surface; and tho'.m
my tongue runs over long phrases, you
fix my ideas on your tablets long be
fore they are worded. I wish I Ciuld
think as rapidly as you write! . . .
Who has revealed to you what I was
meditating? How many thefts does
your hand make in my soul?"
There is no evidence, to show thaf
the speed of ancient shorthand wrltem
was at all-comparable with that of our
own day. They wrote upon wuxed
tablets and no specimen of their art
appears to have been preserved. For
centuries there was no shorthand in
the world. It was not revived until
1588, when Dr. Timothy Bright, a
Yorkshire parson, published a book.
"Characterle; an Arte of Shorte,
Swlfte and Secrete Writing by Char
acter." Tills system was simply a col
lection of arbitrary signs for a large
number of common jvords. .There was
no attempt to provide a shorthand
alphabet, says the Manchester Guar
dian.

Rhymes on Rings
While soine old customs are dying
out, others are being revived. Among
the latter is that of engraving mottoes
and proverbs on lovers' rings. Illngs
thus engraved were formerly called
"posy rings," and some of the inscrip
tions were very quaint. -
For Instance, how would the follow
ing appeal to the "modem miss":
My love is Hxt. I will not ranee,
I like my choice too well to change.
Among the many other mottoes
which adorned the rings of oldtime !
lovers were:
"In thee, my choice, I do rejoice." j
"This and the giver are thine forever."
"Of all the rest I love thee best."
"God for me appointed thee." "I joy
in thee, Joy thou in me," and "Provi
dence divine hath made thee mine."
Those Fool Questions
The bright red motorcaf skidded
violently across the road, shot through
u hedge and landed on Its side In n
roughly plowed field. The driver
crawled painfully out of the wreck and
stood looking at It, the picture of
gloom.
.After a while, a passer-by looked
through a hole in the hedge.
"Hello!" be exclaimed cheerfully.
"Had an accident?"
The motorist bit back the angry
words that rose to his lips.
"Oh, no," he replied, "not at aIL The
fact is I've Just got a new car, so I
brought the old one out to bury It.
Have yon a pick or spade you could
lend me? I don't seem to make much
headway digging by machinery."
Good Campaign Story
Jut before an election, says Path
finder Magazine, there was a small
map of ready talkers making a lot
of noise. Ono fellow said It reminded
.Mm of tha tanner who told a restau

frog pond and would gladly sell him

Habits of Silence Inbred
In the old days OJlbway children
were taught to be seen and not heard,
for to be heard might have meant
dentli. When the scream of the hoot
owl or other strange noises came from
the woods, they snuggled closer," but
kept all the quieter, for the noise
which they heard was liable to be the
signal of a prowling enemy, and to
have cried would have been to have
revealed the hiding place of the family
or tribe.
Thus through the thousands of
years that the Indians lived in con
stant danger the habit of
silence was bred in the blood. Even
now the Ojlbwdy youngster will take
a severe jolt without n sound, and
even come up smiling.
Theatrical "Run"
"Your show is the worst we have
ever had here," said the manager of a
thenter In a western town as he hand
ed the manager of the touring com
pany his share of the box-office re
ceipts.
"That's strange!" saj(l the manager
of the company. "Why, when we
played In Omaha we had the longest
run In the history of the city!"
•'l'm sorry!" replied the manager of
ine theater.
"Sorry about what?"

Fire Prevention "Don'tJ'
Worth Keeping in Mind
Precautious demanded by ordinary
regard for safety were outlined in a
list of "Don'ts" made- public by Fire
Chief Watson of Buffalo, N. Y., as a
part of the educational campaign of
Fire Prevention week. The "Don'ts"
follow:
Don't use gasoline of other vola
tile liquids to remove spots from cloth
ing.
Don't throw your lighted matches or
smoking material where they can poe
slbly cause fire. • •
Don't smoke In bed; perhaps those
guilty of this practice are too green to
burn, but the beds are not.
Don't let children play with matchea
jtr bonfires.
Don't fall to httve your defective
chimneys or flues mended.
Don't forget to have the soot'\re
moved from your smoke pipe; if not
cleaned the pipe may overheat and
start a Are when you operate the fur
nace. *
Don't forget to protect walls, ceil
ings and partitions from the overheat
ing of stoves, furnaces and pipes.
Don't put hot ashes into wooden
boxes or barrels.
Don't All oil lamps or stoves by
open-flame light.
[Don't let rubbish accumulate.
Install a fire extinguisher In your
home. It may save the life of a mem
; bet of your family.
Coal may be scarce this winter. If
| you use some substitute in order to
heat your home, do not fail to have
the apparatus properly Installed and
operated. Makeshift installations may
result In the loss of your home.
Owner of Home 'Has
Stake in Community
The question of owning a home Is
one which presents itself with ever-In
creasing force to every young husband
and wife, and most be answered sooner
or later one way or the other, says the
Atlanta Constitution. Owning a home
Is not such a difficult matter as It ap
pears to some. Like many other things
In life, It consists chiefly in deter
mination—making up your mind that
you will have one.
No doubt there are many young peo
.ple renting homes In every city who
could eaaily have a home of their own.
Homes of all kinds, located In attrac
tive surrovndings v can be bought on
terms almost like rent; and there are
many marked advantages in owning
your home. In the first place, the
sense of ownership gives you a stimu
lating Interest in your surroundings.
You become a part of the community
—a sharer in Its responsibilities. Its
alms and its ambitions—and a par
taker in its rewards.
Owning one's home stimulates one's
self-regard and supplies the-driving
motive for other undertakings.
One of the most Important decisions
that any young man can make, after he
has found his Job and his llfemate, Is
to own his home.
Restoring Old Houses
Restoration of old houses to modern
ize them without destroying their
srchltecturpl beauty, and remodeling
of old structures of the "twilight zone"
of American architecture to make
them harmonize with modern ideas Is'
becoming a common practice In Amer
ican cities and towns, the National
Lumber Manufacturers' association
says In a recent bulletin.
Houses built tfom 15 to 00 years
ago are generally morr L starfflly con
structed than those built within the
last decade. Many of these old
houses need but slight alterations to
transform them into attractive mod
ern homes good for as many years of
service as one can expect from the
average moderate-priced new house
built today.
Excellent Shade Trees
Black walnuts are fine shade trees
and grow quite rapidly. They produce
nuts whose merit Is recognised by all
good cooks and their wood is the most
expensive of native woods. The ginkgo
blloba, or maiden hair tree, which has
a leaf ahaped like that of the maiden
hair fern and which grows in a per
fect cone, Is much used for parkway
plantings In eastern cities and does
welL It Is especially Immune from
Insect and disease attacks.

and happier nation than this republic

They are poisonous, according to Pop
alar Mechanics Magazine, and al

American Population
. Hat Drifted to Citiee
At, the Alrth of the American na
tion 180 years ago. Its largest city had
not more than 43,000 Inhabitants and
only one.person out of thirty lived In
the six towns of 8,000 or more Inhab
itants, Abram L. Harris, Jr., writes
In Current History Magazine. In ltM)
there were In the United States only
six cities whose population was over
8,000 and these contained only 4 per
cent of the population of the entire
country. In 1900 there were 547 sucfc
cities, which at this time contained
82.0 per cent of the country'a popula
tion. But In 1920 the number of such
cities had Increased to 924 and con
tained 43.8 per cent of the total popu
lation. Today nearly one-half of the
American population lives In places
of over
villages and hardly more than two
flfths In the open country.
Merit Clerk in Lack»
A few weeks ago a registered letter
containing $6,000 was sent from a firm
In New York to a bank In Augusta,
Maine. On failure to arrive In Auguata
an Inspector traced It to a point on a
Maine railroad. The mall cleric to
whom It must have been delivered was
faced with the charge of theft He
asked permission to search his car on
the mall train that he had worked on.
Under observation he was allowed to
do so. After a long search and Just
at the moment when he was about to
give up In despair, the clerk happened
to glance down behind some steam
pipes and picked up the letter. The
ear in whleh It had rested had been
used for weeks on different parts of
the system.
