What the World Is Doing
' As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine
Eliminating Hand Capacity
in Radio Sets
Sand capacity, which makes close
toning difficult, often can be elimi
tated by mounting the variable con
densers farther away from the panel.
This can be done by providing a
longer condenser shaft as follows: A
short length of %-in. brass rod, long
enough to extend through the panel,
is placed in one end of a thread spool
tnd the condenser shaft in the other.
If the rod and shaft do not fit tightly,
drill them and the spool to take cot
ter pins. Mount the condenser in the
desired position on the subpanel by
means of two Ms-in. brass strips, %
in. wide, bent to form brackets of suf
ficient length to support it.

') Dashboard Map on Roller
* Used with One Hand
An auto map that can be used with
one hand and interferes with steering
but little, is attached to a spring roller
screwed into the dashboard beneath
the instruments. Replacing hand
maps, which usually mean stopping
the car and having the wind whip and
tear the paper, the new chart Is
framed on two ends, giving it rigid
ity. To inspect, the driver simply
pulls out the roll. The spring returns
it to position out of sight, when read
ing is done. Entering another state,
a new map muy be inserted readily.

During the increase of population i
in the United States from about 24,- 1
000,000 in 1850, to more than 105,000,-
000 in 1920, a lack of uniformity in
increase in many occupations was
noted. Some entirely disappeared,
new ones, like auto driving and elec- ! ’
trical work, came into prominence, and .!
others showed little change. In 1850.:
to every 1,000.000 inhabitants there I
were 1,323 wheelwrights, but the class
lias nearly disappeared today, while
1920 found an army of 7.587 machinists
to every million inhabitants as com
pared with the 1,039 in 1830. The pro
portion of clergymen isnearly the same
today as seventy-five years ago, the
reports showing one for every 949
persons in 1850, and one for every 912
in 1920. The illative nupjber of
physicians and surgeons has de
creased, blacksmiths have been great
ly reduced, and but 519 sailors were
found to each million inhabitants in
1920 as compared with .3,044 in 1850.
There were twenty-five times more
plumbers to each million in 1920 than
in 1850. Electricians numbered 2,014
to the million in 1920, steel workers
8,000 and barbers almost as many.

The World’s Bird Population
Statistics gathered by the depart
ment of agriculture indicate that the
total bird population of the world is
approximately 75,000,000,000 or about
forty times the number of human be
ings. Records showed that there are
an average of approximately 224 birds
for every hundred acres of land. On
this basis, the bureau of biological
survey estimated that in the north
eastern and central states of America,
■ there are 82,660,089 robins, 69,300,883
i English sparrows, 50514,499 song
■ sparibws, 33,815,491 catbirds and 22,-
, 126,185 bluebirds. Nine species in all,
. made a total of 864.455547. while the

for that part of the United States, or
about a fifth of the whole bird popu

Cutting Pipe at Angles
Cutting pipe accurately at an angle
with a hacksaw is no easy job, as it is
difficult to scribe a line on the pipe.
However, by using the rig shown in
the drawing, a clear mark can be
made. All that is necessary is a stand
with an adjustable top to hold the
pipe at the desired angle, and a can
of white point into which the end of
the pipe is dipped. The stand ii
readily knocked together in a few
minutes. The top is hinged onto the
vertical part and two slats are tacked
on to hold it at the proper angle.
The drawing clearly shows how the
rig is used. After dipping, the pipe
is sot away to allow the paint to dry,
or if the job must be done at once, a
mark can be scribed along the edge
of tfcs paint. It is, of course, neces
sary to have both the stand and the
paint pot on a level floor.

PUNT, MICHIGAN,
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
TOM JI M ISON AT UNIVERSITY
LAW SCHOOL.
Raleigh Times.
The trustees of Wake Forest Col
lege have an undisputed right to re
fuse admittnnee to Toni Jimison. Tom
—and let's get this said and over |
with ns quickly as possible—has ae. i
quired a reputation just a bit ripe 1
for the palate of the guardians of
youth whom it is determined to sub
mit to no disturbing influences. He is
something of a social agitator, has re
peatedly thumbed his nose at the es
tablished order in church and -date,
was LaFollette elector, ran with the
Socialists at Winston-Salem and was
their candidate for mayor of that
community, quit the Methodist min
istry in favor of a labor paper at
Charlotte and was convicted and fined
for transporting liquor, offered to I
make amends by yielding himself to i
the law and finally decided to secure
license to practice the same in North
Carolina. At Wake Forest last sum
mer he was discovered by officers in
the presence of liquor which in the
munk-ipnl court was proved to be of
somebody rise’s providing.
We trust that is the last time we
shnll ever feel called upon to refer
to Tom's past shortcomings. He has
gone to Chapel Hill and as a citizen
of the State applied for admission to
the University I.aw School, which has
properly been opened unto him. It is
to be hoped that lie will benefit from
his associations at the University,
which in turn should profit from 'as
sociation with him.
He can pass the examination for
law' license as easily from one school
as another. He had no claim on the j
Baptist denomination; he has the |
same claim upon the University as I
any other citizen of the Htate.
He couldn't be a martyr on the
campus at Chapel Rill, if he wanted j
to—let's concede (hat he exhibits no
such desire—and it is now squarely
up to him.
And here's wi-hing him luck. With i
one of the brightest minds in the |
commonwealth, lie opght to add some- j
filing to the State’s mental content.
;
The children of the family were, j
according to their respective accounts I
; a'.l first in something at school. Tom
my was first in reading, Alice was
first in arithmetic, Sammy in sports,
and so on. Janet alone remained
silent.
“Well, Janet, how about you?” her
uncle asked. "Aren’t you first in
anything?”
“Yes, uncle,” said Janet. “I am
first out of the building when the bell
rings.”
TWO VIEWS ABOUT FLIPPERS
Girls' Beauty am! Modesty Defended
by This Writer.
Editor New York Mirror: I consul-!
er the letter by "Trotter" in which i
lie states the girls of New York are !
1 immodestly dressed an outrage. There;
is not a city with more beautiful or
! more modestly dressed girls in the;
world than New York. It seems to
be a pity that such inon as "Trot- :
ter" cannot see things as they really
are, not with narrow-minded eyes '
which are so evident ill his letter.
A. I,
Loch I'jk All Flappers to Stop Crime,
Is His Idea.
Editor New York Mirror: It is
amusing to perceive the number of
girls who try to pretent they are not c
indecently dressed, and that they do
not act iliseriminately. Why, we
! all know the majority of girts ui New :
York today are practically nude.
There would be fewer crimes in New
York if girls who are indecently i
dressed like the flappers were locked :

The Dry Times of 1843.
Charlotte Observer.
It was mighty dry in this part of '
the country back in 1845. The! 1
drought in that year was apparently
about the same nature as that now
prevailing, for The Anderson Mail
has gone back to the records printed
in The Anderson Gazette, of August
211. of that year, and reproduced from '
that paper some evidences of the dis- 1
tress prevailing in South Carolina in
consequence. Wliaf's termede a ' Star
vation Convention" had been called 1
| for Union Court House, the following
; week, but the Anderson paper did not
j take much stock in the proposition. It 1
! wanted to know what a convention •
!of the kind “could do to relieve the
i distress of the people?” The paper
j saw in the proposed convention only
lan opportunity for "some officious
! individuals to take a lead, more for <
j the purpose of acquiring a great | i
name than for any real public good I j
| that might be derived from their de-j|
liberations.” It advised that if the C
f good people of Anderson condescend j
j to send a delegation to the conven-1 j
I tion, they might expect to “be hum-ij
bugged and fleeced.” A “certain class!;
of shavers would reap the benefit, and ! <
the people may whistle for bread.” It i 5
was of record that Anderson took no 5
stock in the “Starvation Convention,” <
but on the other hand, took the news- ;
paper's advice and organized among (
themselves for relief of the sufferers, j
Committees were appointed to ascer- I
tain conditions, to search oat the peo- <
pie in need of relief and to minister <
to their wants.
In dismissing the committees to j
their tasks the chairman of the meet- J
ing gave voice to the sentiments that )
might seem to apply to conditions of! j
the present time. He advised that j
the cause in which they were cm- (
barked was “one which made feeling j
appeal to every iihilanthropist and j
Christian in the land." Hq.oWaijfaed j
against any one j
advantage of the judgments' ‘lii K h j
heaven and undertake to enridh thrin- J
selves,”' but rather, “all sjiould unite J
heart and soul to provote the general |
welfare, and thus, by furnishing means j
lof subsistence, retain in the bosom |
of our beloved State, a population ]
whose industry, virtue and intelligence j
has won for her an enviable nams j
afnong the American sisterhood.” j
A Unique College PubUcamton.
Durham. Sept. 25.—OP)—Students )
at Duke University here are pub- £
lisljing what is believed to be the 5
first periodical of its kind ever edited /
and published by college students. (
The magazine is The Archive. Its J
distinction lies in the fact that it /
is open to writers anywhere, not, as £
is true with most publications, a mag- >
aziue containing contributions from >
the college students only. Tile man- J
agement states that the contents of >
the magazine will be limited to no e
particular campus, state, or locality. I
And the October number, just off the S
press, bears out the statement, for £
it contains work by professional writ- >
ers whose names are familiar to head ?
ers of many of the best known liter- C
ary reviews of the country. C
A number of well known writers f
have agreed to become regular con- C
tributtotrs. S
Women's liats are now made in IS
different sizes in the same way as c
male headgear. This is due to the I s
prevalence of shingling. i ?

Month, Relieved by
Black-Dranght. j
Lawrenceburg, Ky.—Mr. J. P. j
Nevins, a local coal dealer and far- <
mer, about two years ago learned i
of the value of Thedford's Black- S
Draught liver medicine, and now C
he says: >
“Until then I suffered with se- 4
vere bilious attacks that came on £
two or three timeß each month. >
I would get nauseated. I would '!
have dizziness and couldn’t work, ij
“I would take pills until I ]i
worn-out with them. I didn’t seem 'J
to get relief. After taking the pills lij
my bowels would act a couple or ] i
three times, then I would be very j
constipated. I
“A neighbor told me of Black- i
Draught and I began its use. I
never have found so much relief
as It gave me. I would not ba
without It for anything.
“It seemed to cleanse my whole
system and make me feel like new.
I would take a few doses —get rid
pf the bile and have my usual clear |
head, feel full of ’pep’ and could |
do twice the work.” j
One cent a dose. NC-161!
“A BUI to Be Entitle#*
Monrnp Journal.
Mr. Turlington, r»# Iredell, a legis
lator, says he is now ready to cham
pion a bill in the next legislature to
forbid the teaching of evolution as a
fact in the schools as theory. He
says that when such a bill was intro
duced in the last legislature Jie
thought if foolish and voted against
it. He has now seen the light and is
ready to move.
As all legislative bills are required)
“to have a caption, beginning with the
words, ”A Bill to Be Entitled an Act”
we take the liberty of suggesting a
caption for Mr. Turlington’s bill as
follows:
**A Kill to Be Entitled.”
“An act to re-establish the principle
of the union of church and state, to
v r olate the spirit of the constitution of
the United States and the State con
stitutions, so sow the seeds of strife,
bitterness and all uncharitableness,
to bring the Christian religion into «
disrepute while nominally upholding
same, to call back again the incanta
tions of the middle ages, to introduce
discord and dissonance into the
schools, and churches and communi
ties; to re-examine the decay of witch
craft and the evil* eye, to make politi
cal issues' out of men’s private relig
ious beliefs,' to put a premium upon
hypocrisy, t<> furnish a field for un
limited bunk for politicians, to retard
the growth of the teachings of .lesn.s
and substitute therefor the jargon of
ecclesiastical politics, and finally, to
give each and sundry wind jammer a
platform from which to shed briny
tears in behalf of a religion that he
does not practice.”
Succeed lie.-> not so much in find
ing a suitable place ns in making
yourself suitable for the place you
have found.
