CROSBY WORLD MAS CHANGED LITTLE Marked Similarity in Certain Newt paper Advertising Today and That of Many Year Ago. Newspaper advertising of 160 years SO differed greatly in form from that of today, but tlia dlffernce in sub stance and Intent was rather small. In the columns of the New York Mer cury of that period one finds the fol lowing articles offered for sale and extolled for their particular qualities: "Godfrey's General Cordial," which was the opiated soothing syrup used in that day for peevish, teething babies; the "Princely Beautifying Lo tion," by use of which the ladies "made up" for the street; "Turllng- ton's Original Balsam of Life," which must h.ive been disappointing since all the users are now dead; "Dr. Ryan's Incomparable Worm Destroying Su gar numbs," "White Drops for the Scurvy," "Red Pills," "Sweating Pow der." "Dr. ItadclifTe's Only True Speci fic Tincture for the Toothache," "Es sence of Balm of Gllead," "Potter's Water, for the Safe, Easy and Specific Cure for the Stone and Gravel," "Key ser's Pills," "Golden Tincture for Hys terical Diseases," "Genuine Harlaem Oyl" by the bottle, "Levine's Well Known Eyewater," "Bloom of Circas sian for off-color complexions, "Lady MoJyneux's Italian Taste," "Best Corn Plasters and Lip Salve," "Venetian Paste for EnamellDg the Hands, Neck and Face." The bottle of Stoughton Bitters by which old topers used to give an addi tional tang to their nips of whisky stood behind every public bar up to about 50 years ago. Long after Its use had been abandoned it persisted until "standing like a Stoughton bot tie" became the common expression for Immobility. I Mil a chart entitled "State compulsory School Standards Affecting the Km ployinent of Minors." In live states attendance Is required until eighteen years of age, In two J ui uiese in certain districts only; in three until seventeen; and In thirty two until sixteen. One state requires attendance until fifteen, six others and the District of Columbia until four teen, and one state requires attendance until the age of twelve years, but applies this to Illiterates only. Unfortunately, says the bureau, the exemptions In the majority of states are so numerous that they greatly lim it the application of the law. The most common exemptions are for em ployment, or upon completion of a specified school grade. Four states specifically exempt for work In agri cultural pursuits, three with no age pro vision. Laws of fourteen other states contain loosely worded provisions ex-j erupting a child at any age, which might be used to cover absence for farm work as well as for many other purposes. Several states exempt a child whose services are necessary for the support of himself or others, with out any age or educational provision. The amount of attendance required Is still unsatisfactory in many states, several demanding only 12, 10, or 20 weeks In a year. Even In states where city children must attend for eight or nine months, the amount of attendance required In rural school districts Is sometimes considerably less. niestlc friends, Joseph R.

One night near Chateau-Thierry, a heavy barrage be gan to full In our vicinity, and the horses, which were also own to the danger, did not scatter or run. In stead, three of them, following the example of the soldiers, lay down promptly and waited until the shelling was over. Only one of them was killed, and that poor fellow had remain" standing. Another time, while moving tiloin; a road that was under enemy observa tion, the shells started to burt on both sides of our column. Put the good old horses plodded on; the irreut est bravery was shown, and, fortun ately, none was lost. In time, I hope, there will be more space allotted in history to the excellent part which horses played in the late war. Only the highest praise would be their Just dues. p.i"i PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK Sociologist Says the Newspapers Make Life Hard for Criminals of Every Description.

The legal functions of the Presi dent's office nre so eminent that he cannot escape the responsibilities of executive action, however much he may be inclined to avoid them. His constitutional powers alone make him the pivot upon which all the adminis trative machinery operates. He appoints the heads of depart merits and may direct their major pol icies. His power of appointment to all the greater offices is far reaching, He can recommend, shape and veto legislation. His control over foreign affairs Is virtually complete. He Is " commander In chief of the army and the navy. In short, he Is the most potent constitutional functionary In the world. All these constitutional powers have been vastly augmented by practice and custom. The President today can do Innumerable things that George Washington or Thomas Jefferson would never have dared do even If they had thought of them. The constitutional conception of the President is that of a chief executive, an administrator; custom has added to this conception that of leadership, of initiation. Samuel P. Orth in the Tale Review. One of the most remarkable things about men, be they of high or low es tate, Is that they never grow up. Take for instance, that group of el der statesmen in the United States senate. Here is the trick they were caught playing on Sims, the old negro j barber at the capitoi, who has been shaving them and their kind for forty j years. Sims Is a preacher and great Uibli- cal authority when he is not shaving senators. He Is profoundly religious. , He has, confidence in his fellows. So, when Senator Hurry New of In diana told Sims that lie hud a present tor hiin, the venerable barber wulked into the trap all unsuspecting. The senator said he wanted to be- j stow his present iu private. He and Sims went into an anteroom. The sen ator squatted down and Sims did like wise. The senator took from his pock et a large-sized pair of dice and rolled them out on the carpet Sims watched. At this moment a group of sena tors, in the plot with New, burst into the rooifl. There, apparently, were Sen ator New and the old barber, despite his protestations of religion, shooting craps. The statesmen were horrified. An employee of the senate had been caught gumbling. Sims, of all men, had gone . wrong after forty years ; Sims, whom they trusted Implleity. It was a case that called for drastic ac tion. Philadelphia Public Ledger. Clung to the Foot-Hllis. Humanity in its settlements has never cared for the high mountains or their valleys.... But the races of men have ever been well disposed to finuggle up close to the foot-hills. The modern cities have been built beside great rivers on the flat lands, but in Biblical times cities were founded upon rocks in the lower hills ; and where no hills existed, as in the Mesopotamia valley, the Assyrians built a huge brick platform in Imita tion of a flat hill, and reared their city upon that. Athens was built upon and about the Acropolis, the Areo pagus, and the limestone heights be tween Cephlssus and Ilissus. Rome and Constantinople are both bnilded on their seven hills, and the hills around about Jerusalem are famous. John C. Van Dyke. EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE cniidrerys Bureau of United States Department of tabor Deplores Some Exemptions Allowed. Every state now has a compulsory day school attendance law, according to information recently furnished by the United States Department of La bor through the flifb'-pri's bureau. The bureau has Just completed an analysis of education laws affecting child laror. the results of which are ouhLshed in "Le Chef" Is an Artist, Too. "Chester, the original of Sir Wil liam Orpen's famous picture "Le Chef," which the artist had presented to the Royal academy as his diploma work, is now chef of the grill at the Royal Palace hotel, Kensington, London. The manager of the hotel, being Id Paris on business, called, out of cu riosity, at the Hotel Chatham to see the chef whose portrait had attracted such attention. In conversation "Chester"- would talk of nothing but a wonderful new sauce he had Just made. The manager sampled It and realized, in his own phrase, thai "Chester is, in his own way, as great an artist as Sir William Orpen." He immediately offered him a very substantial salary In return for his services during the season. "Chester" at first refused to leave Paris, but finaliy succumbed to what Is said to be the largest salary an assistant chef has ever earned. London Times. 3 ' in !i m main wwnHMMpMH-MM...

It's astonishing that any car owner today should not know all the tire service he is entitled to. Nor how to check up between the economy of par quality on one hand and big discounts, surplus stocks, discontinued lines and retreads on the other. For two years U. S. Tire makers have been telling the American people all about tires. They have laid open the tire business from every angle. They have always led the fight for better tires. They have consist- ently maintained quality first standards with certain economy for the tire buyer. They have established 92 Factory Branches nil over the country. Perfecting U. S. distri bution so that you get a fresh, live tire every time you buv a U. S. Tire. So when a man once decides on U. S. Tires he knows what he is getting in quality service economy.
