What Is in the 40 years ov. 30, 1898, while THERE’S GOING TO BE A FUNERAL J t Thta not* from * Shelby citizen is permitted to speak for itself: •'Someone is going to have a funeral in Shelby some of these days, and chances are that it will be a member of the fire department and when It comes along fils folks will have no one to blame except the man in the hearse. For several years fire department officials have urged cltisens to cooperate with them In clearing the streets when the fire sirens sound so as not to delay the firemen or take chances on a crash. I have cooperated with them in that respect and believe all other cltisens should. The firemen have to get there in a hurry to do any good. BUT some of the volunteers who come speeding along several blocks or maybe five minutes after the truck certainly take s6me mighty dangerous risks—not only dangerous for them but for other motorists. Recently I have seen autos occupied by volunteer firemen speeding along the main business streets at 60 per and more and then shoot right across the street intersection with the stop light against them Suppose a motorist coming the other way had not heard the siren and came to the Intersection with the green or 'Go' light with him and started on across only to be hit and knocked into eternity by a flyins car coming the other way and against the traffic light? I've heard scores of Shelby people comment about it lately. Something, they all say, should be done about it. Eventually something will, but why should it not be done before a fireman and some innocent motorists are killed? It .will be too late then. And I am advancing this comment with all due respect to the firemen and with their interest as much as anyone at heart. I don’t believe there is a better Are departmnt anywhere than Chief Robby’s crew, but wouldn't it be better to have a few vol unteers get there a minute late than to have a tragedy that would shock the entire city?” Now, thresh it out for yourselves. As for this corner, it hops under the desk and sticks its fingers in its ears when the siren sounds—and stays there until the trucks come rolling back in. SOLVING THAT TOUGH PUZZLER f > ■ ' 0 Some time back this comer ran the following mathematical puzzle: Put do*n your telephone number, multiply by two, add five, multi ply by 50, add 365, add your age, then subtract 615 and the firet numbers on the left will give your telephone number and the last figures your age if you tried it, you found that it worked and more than, likely you wondered "how come?” Writing to The Oastonla Gazette John F Brad ley tells how and why. Perhaps you’ll be interested in his explanation which follows: “In regard to your math, pussle I opine there is nothing magical about a telephone number. Any other number would act in the same way. “There seem to be two simple mathematical exercises mingled so as to mystify the unwary. First, if you take a telephone number, or any other number multi ply it by 2 and then multiply by 50, that is equivalent to multiplying by 100, or simply adding two ciphers to the right of the taken number “Then if you rub out the two ciphers and write your age in their place, you will have the so-called magical expression giving your tele phone number folio ved by your age. ; "That is the gist of the puzzle. True, the party who made up the pussle worked to another exer cise to mystify. When you add 5 and multiply by so. that is addin* 350 Then he adds 365 more. (No connection with * year). Adding 350 plus 365 is adding 615. Later he subtracts 615. This exercise does not affect the result, for its amounts to exactly sero. •The whole thing comes back to taking a number addin* two ciph ers to it, rubbing out the ciphers and writing your age to place of the ciphers. Then you have the wonderful result of the said taken number fpllowed by your age. . “The party who made the pu*?le evidently assume, thft nobody over 100 years old would try it. “For If there are three figures In your age you would have to mul tiply by 20 In the first step Instead of by 2." STILL LEARNING Until Just now we didn’t know that Hebrew’ parents never name their children after any living person—therefore no Juniors. They always go back to a grandfather or grasdmother. farther if necessary. If you don't believe it. Just ask. So long <&so4th. Lattimore News Of Personal Items Prof. W. E. White Sick.
