HAVE THEIR OWN JOURNALS
. Almost Every Industry Is Represented I
in List of British Periodical
Publications.
Popular papers by no means consti
tute the bulk of periodical literature.
Nearly every business and profession
hab its own particular "trade journal."
Probably you never knew the bill
posters had a paper entirely their
own, but they have In the Placard
and Service Billposter, ' remarks a

The system looks very much I'ke
spelling by ear.' It ought not to re
quire any very complicated system of
rules. In ftftrt, many people habitually,
spell by tar without the authority of
the society's diction. There are many
people who have given up further at
tempts "at mastering English as it is
spe'le'd today, and these would wel
come a phonetic reform yrtn

China Looks to France.
France as a field of study of a great
people in a period of reconstruction
man's Gazefte, every , one of which is ! and restoration is being commended
devoted to the interests of the particu
lar line it names.
Some trades which you would not
think could support one paper alone
have their pick of several. For in
stance, laundry workers have four
to choose from-, pawnbrokers two, pro
fessional conjurtrs at least three, and
vets quite a number. Even the bargee
was not until recently left uncatered
for, there being the Bargeman to
amuse him every so often. And un
dertakers can wax more or less merry
over the Undertakers' Journal, while
rag and -bone collectors may watch
their interests In the Waste Trades
Journal. Caretakers have the Care
taker to enjoy.
: Trade journalism does not stop at
that. It looks after lesser known busi
nesses and hobbies, as witnessed in
the existence of the Ringing World,
for bell ringers, the Bloodstock Breed
ers' Review, the Racing Pigeon, the
British Beekeeper, Talking Machine
News and the Flute Players' Journal.

Marble Player appear, we will let you

to the progressive students of China
by such an authority as Wang Tsing
wei, founder of the Societe Franco
Chinoise. He advises his fellow coun
trymen that the present is opportune
for study by Chinese in France to
learn from personal observation how
strenuous measuresjare in the chang
ing of national conditions. China, he
says, with its vast population and
area must, to bring about anything
worthy of the name of reconstruction,
rely upon the efforts of many Chinese
i to introduce the new civilization and
to bring China up' to date. He says
if China can, send abroad 100.000 stu
dents, then its motto should be "Let
us have mere."
"MAXIM SILENCER" FOR SHIPS
It Is Claimed They Will Absolutely
Do Away With Noise Mad
by the Motors.
EJ-.
Eight ships now sailing the .Pacific
ocean are equipped with great
silencers, weighing S,000 pounds each,
the invention of Hiram Percy Maxim,
famous as the inventor of the gun
silencer bearing his name. If success
ful, this newest "Maxim silencer" may
stimulate the tendency toward general
substitution of the speedier, more
economical, oil-burning vessels driven,
by the super-powerful engines of the
Diesel type, for the present-day
steamers.
r "The motor-driven ship is the ship
of the future," Mr. Maxim said recent
ly. "However, in the past
there has been one great disadvant
age, the terrific noise of the motors.
The new silencer we expect will solve
that problem."
Mr. Maxim said that, inasmuch as
Ills patents have not been issued, he
cannot disclose the construction of his
new invention. However, in general
principle it is not unlike other Maxim
silencers, depending on accomplishing
its work by absorbing the recoil and
hence silencing the terrific exhaust.
Mr. Maxim says it is not dissimilar in
'design to the smailer Maxim- silencers
on the market for several years for
use on motor and power boats.
Spelling by Ear.
, A simplified spelling society in Im
flon has developed a form of language
with a one sound, one symbol notation
of letters and digraphs. A sample of
the system in operation is furnished
as follows:

his wyf had a littl bol and a littl gerl

Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones were
neighbors-. Mr. Smith had a garden,
and Mr. Jones kept chickens. Now
can you see the possibilities? Well,
they didn't come off.
Mr. Smith had an only son, and
Mr. Jtyes had an only daughter. Can,
you imagine what happened? Well, it

Smith's garden did not materialize.

A "Pi HATE"
MONSTER
PIKE
English Villagers Featted en Fish
Which Had Been Cutting Anglers'
Lines for Years.
A pirate was ennght and killed re-v-ntly
in the little old English village
of Beeston St. Lawrence, Norfolkshire,
and his remains were cut up and
shared between the old age pensioners,
who voted him very tasty, an exchange
reports. The good people of Beeston
St. Lawrence are pot cannibals, and
for the benefit of those not acquainted
with the legendary lore of that part
of England it must be explained that
this pirate was a monster pike which
terrorized the wate'rs of the lake in
Beestone for upward of thirty years.
The pike, which had the reputation
of being the most artful fish in the
world, earned the name of "the pirate"
because of his predatory raids on fish
ermen's lines whenever they hooked
anything. Anglers came from miles
around to try and catch the freebooter,
but' the fish was too clever for the
Tnost exptri piscator. -'' -
According to stories told over mugs
of ale at the t village inn the "pirate"
was hooked only once, and in a vicious
rage he broke the line and escaped.
Yet the h.mor of catching him goes to
voung ex-soldier who had been pike
fishing oir.v four times in his life.

Several of our Hoosier school build
ings are named after noted Ameri
cans of a generation or more ago, Re
cently at a community meeting at
one of these buildings the speaker
spoke of the sp'rit of the man, whose
name the building bore, hovering
oyer the school. The children seemed
much' impressed then but it took the
next day to show how deeply some
had been moved.
The principal sent two youngsters
to the basement to see to the furnace
in the absence of the janitor. They
came rushing up a few minutes later
saying that they had .heard a "ter
rible noise" down there. The prin.
cipal laughed at them but another
boy arose in their defense. "I bet I
know what it is," he'said. "I bet it's
that man's spirit around here again!
Only this time instead of being on
the roof it's down in the cellar."--In-jlianapolis

,EMEMBER the time

the good old torchlight pro

ress. Tires are ofteQ sold the
same way politics are.
, The last people to wake
up to what they are getting
are the people who pay the
bills.
The bills are getting too
big these days ib both cases.
And the man who is feeling
it most with respect to tires
is the man who 6wns a
moderate-price car.

The idea that the small car
owner doesn't need1 a good

of all mistaken ideas.
