Poor Old Woman.
The sri.ntists that heard from the
learnec Chicago astronomer Moulton
about the earth's probable age, on
million billion years, practica'ly all
of it still ahead of us. heara also
about the size of our corner of space,
ottr "galaxy" in which the sun is as
a grain of sand.
. It is shaped like a watch, is dim
ensions are- thirty thousand light
ears through trim front to back,
two hundred million lignt years
through the wide .way, across the face
of the watch. To get the distance
across our galaxy multiply the num
ber of seconds in two hundred thou
sand years by one hundred and eighty-six
thousand miles, which will
give you something over a quintril
lion of miles, written with one, fol
lowed by eighteen zeros, according to
rapid, probably inaccurate figuring
on the edge of a newspaper.
Let your little boy do the sum.
But remember there are in that
galaxy of ours about one billion
suns, many of them a million times
as big as our sun, which is a million
times as big as our own earth.
And the billion suns move about
like bees in a swarm. If two of them
come too close together, the planets
of both suns are instantly wiped out
of existence. That happens once in
a million billion years, on the aver
- age. But it might happen any day,
therefore it is well to be always pre
pard with a clean slcte.
The "garter bouquet" of real flow
ers is announced in Philadelphia,
forget-me-nots, presumably worn just
below the knee. Women spent cen
turies hiding their legs even with
dresses sweeping microbes from the
ground.
Now they exhaust ingenuity call
ing attention to their legs. Pink
stockings, strange garters, slippers
that look like a set of gold pony har
ness, no stockings, sometimes, high
tide skirts.
- It is puzzling, but you may be sure
that back of it all usefulness and
wisdom are at work. Man's dull dress
evolution is about over. Woman's
is only starting.
Wise officials of Silesia order cats
as well as dogs, muzzled. A good
idea, but it isn't enough. Cats and
dogs should be shaved, as well as
muzzled, to make them safe for chil
dren that play with them. If a moth
er, allowing her child to play with
a cat, had microscopic eyes, and could
see the disease germs that thrive in
the cat's fur, she would shave that
cat and wash it in a weak solution
of carbolic acid.
Philadelphia's Wistar Institute,
part of the University of Pennsyl
vania, specializes in breeding white
rats, cousins of the giay rat, not
ordinary sewer rats that carry pla
gue. The rats live and breed in a spe
cial rat establishment costing $60,-

000, and are shipped to scientific
bodies all over the world, including
Japan, that scientists may work on
"standardized rats and compare re
sults satisfactorily.
The rats live, die and submit to
disease infection, knowing as little
as human beings know about the
why or wherefore. Little do they
dream that their tissues, structure,
growth and digestive processes hap
pen to resemble those of men, and
that they brt?ed, live, die, only to save
a higher race from death. Even so,
they know as much as we do about
primal causes and final purposes.
Why are we breeding and dying?
A noor old woman, aced seventv-
one, is found dead in a wretched ten
ement, no furniture, a few dry crusts
and six thousand dollars to her credit
in three banks. Unjustly this old
lady is called "Miser." Interest on
six thousand dollars would give her
less than eiehtv cents a day. You
can't LIVE on that, although you can
keep going if you rummage in gar-hnc-e
cans and Dick ud fruit dronned
by peddlers, as Mrs. Deutscher did.
Our standard of living has chang
ed. About 100 years ago only one
workman in the United States could
earn $1 a day all the year round.
Celestino Fabietti, marriage clerk
in Rome for twenty-three years, says
marriage is an art. To know a man
well watch him closely when he pro
nounces the fatal "Yes." Men are
more afraid of marriage than women,
says Fabiette, and a child might know
that.
Schopenhauer calls marriage a fe
male conspiracy to make every man
support one woman all her life. That,
says he, is why women are merciless
ly cruel to other women that do not
insist on marriage.
The fact is that marriage is a
training school for men; women are
the professors, and progress is slow.
But since this world is to last as
Professor Moulton of Chicago Uni
versity says, 1,000,000,000,000,000
years more, there will be plenty of
time to train husbands.

Some of the things that will be
considered by the Truck Crops group
at the Umatilla Project Economic
Conference that will be held at Her
miston the latter part of February,
are what truck crops are now being
grown on the project, where they
are being shipped, and what the fu
ture development along this line
should be. These factors will be con
sidered after studying the average
price of truck crops in markets at
Portland, Seattle, and Spokane, to
gether with receipts at these mar
kets and comparative freight rates
between the project shipping points
and the source of supply for the pre
sent markets.

HAINES CITY
GETS YOU
TT GETS you, first because of its natural at

mirror the blue of a frequently cloudless sky.

ness possibilities. "This town has a thrill", said
a stranger who came to look it over. That's it
exactly. A Thrill! Everybody senses it. It's
a something in Jhe air. You can't help but feel
it. Things are on the move. Improvements
everywhere. Wide streets. Nevf Stores being
built. Enlargements of older premises. Churches
going up. A Big Hotel taking shape. A new
Grammar School. A new Theatre. New Every
thing. Jfes, there's a business thrill about the
place.
And It's Infectious, too. Come to Haines City
and it will get you. There's nothing unpleasant
about it. In fact, it's Just what most people are
seeking, namely, a good place to locate where
there's a chance for a profitable investment; a
place where one tan grow with the growth of a
city that knows what it wants, and which is now
reaching out to its destiny.
