Are you a prohibitionist? At a girls seminary airecent inquiry was more sweeping. To the interroga tion: "Do you swear?" 200 of the 215 girls answered yes But admitting that they swear Is not proof that these feminine lips do utter oaths. So at least says the law In New York state, writes "Griant" in the Philadelphia Press. "Four or five people" must hear you swear, not for a second or two, but 'for about five minutes" that's the law in North Carolina. Down in Alabama they don't expect a man to swear from the housetops, but the law says that if three or four persons hear you Just once, good night!'

The airplane camera looks directly down on the spot to be photographed, making a-picture as a one-eyed man would see it. A stereoscopic camera, in which the .lenses are two aad three-quarters inches apart, would not produce the stereoscopic effect. Pho tographers' decided to take pictures 100 yards apart to give a view, Just as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart, would see it. These pictures were put on cardboard, and viewed through the stereoscope. At first a cottage looked like a tower, a bucket like a well, a trench like a canyon, etc. The officers soon learned to translate these eccentricities, and the problem was solved. True pictures, giving just the exact Information desired, were then obtained by the airplane photographers. Miss Leona Egerton will leave Wednesday for school in Asheville. ' How He Averages Up.

The Czecho-Slovaks, having attain ed national independence, attain also the privilege of reading the Bible In the national tongue, so the British Bi ble society is planning to print Czech Bibles purchasable for 50 cents each. Austrians and Italians have long called the Czecho-Slovaks "Blblers.' The Czech Bible was first printed in 1475, but when the Czechs came under Austria the printing and reading of the Bible in their own larfguage was forbidden. Copies of theT?zech Bible were printed In other lands and smug gled in, but were burned if discovered. Religious persecution, dating back to the time of John Huss, the Bohemian reformer of the fifteenth century, com bined with political persecution to make the Czech Bible rare, but all the more highly valued. Although, in mod ern days, the Austrian government permitted the circulation of the Czech Bible in the army, It continued to prohibit the circulation among the Czechs at home. irises SLBUCt. read. n - uses received daily H i ' s . Americans Eat Little Mutton. In Great Britain about' 22 per cent ,of all meat consumed is mutton. In w France it Is about 11 per cent.
