The English newspapers are great
ly wrought up because at the trial of
* than who killed his wife In a jealous
passion the Judge told the Jury that
the accused "had rather a beautiful
nature In some ways because he took
a very high view of the sanctity of
the marriage oath." One newspaper
reminds the sentimental Judge that
the prisoner would have shown a still
more beautiful nature if he hud man-
aged to take a liitle higher view of
the sanctity of human life.
Restless,
could not sleep
MTHERE were days
when I felt like I
could not get my work
done. I would get so
nervous and ‘trembly’
I would have to lie
down. I was very rest-
less, and could not
sleep at night.
My mother advised
me to take Cardui,
and, 1 certainly am
glad she did. It Is
the first thing that
seemed to give me
any strength. I felt
better after the first
bottle. I kept it up
and am now feel-
AUndtng to the rapid development
of motor-ship fleets, the Motor Ship
point* out that the Hamhurg-Amerika
line has the largest number and ton-
nage of motor cargo ships under one
flag—namely, 35, of about 316.000
tons deadweight capacity. Next cornea
the fleet of With. Wlhelmaen. Oslo,
totaling 34 ships, of 301,000 tons,
whilst the Bank line, the Furness
lines, and the East Asiatic company
all own motor-vessels of some 2(50,000
tons. The Standard Oil company,
considered as one concern, have some
fifty ships of 700.(100 tons deadweight
capacity, all built within the past few
years.
Stunt flyers, now In demand for
air pictures, are asking fabulous
prices for services because of the
extra hazard In flying low enough to
keep In range with the recording
mikea. Heretofore stunt flyers were
paid $50 a day, hut ascended to an
altitude where hazardous tricks could
he performed with a more reasonable
assurance of safety. Now they're
asking $200 for the same work be-
cause the altitude la limited to 500
feet because of the microphones.
There are not more than six flyers in
Hollywood who will take these
chances, and they are all asking the
same price.

Under old English law a landowner
could claim possession to the air
above hla property as far as tbe
heavens and theoretically tbe right
still holds. In this new era of air-
planes such possession has practical-
ly been set aside. However, sooner
or later It will be necessary to define
by law how much of the air above
the earth the property holder may
reserve for his own use and how
much like the oceans la free to all
for navigating airways. Otherwise
some skyscraper may trespass on the
public domain.
Possibilities of the glider appear to
fascinate Lindbergh, in spite of the
fact that it could not make an over-
ocean flight. Transportation has been
highly developed, and co-ordination
of its various forms Is a considera-
tion at present. A glider with com-
petent preliminary support might ef-
fect some hlfhly important landings.

The English Smock
There Is more thnn sentiment In the
regret »t the passing of i'ie old smock
frock of the English faint laborer.
The Live Stock Journal points o>'t
that tlie garment not only looked well
hnt supplied In the simplest form the
best kind of overall that was ever de-
vised. A smock made of the right
material—a course, closely woven
stuff—was a warm and comfortable
garment, yet because of Us flowing
lines It was always well ventilated.
It would turn any thorn and it would
keep out any sort of weather. One of
Its most valuable qualities was that
It was practically Indestructible. If
reasonably treated there was nothing
that could beat it for long service.
Theie are smocks still existing which
have been handed down from father
to son—regular family heirlooms—
and are still serviceable. They owe
their long life lurgely to the fact that
they have never been neur the wash-
tub, for It Is tjie washing that will de-
stroy a garment of this kind far soon-
e tl!«n the hardest wear and tear of
everyday use.
A general survey of the medical
field has shown that a very small pro-
portion of wage earners plan for Ill-
ness. Doctors In private practice,
executives of hospitals ami clinic su-
perintendents who were interviewed
agreed that because of this lack of
foresight the medical profession is
obliged to give millions of dollars'
worth of free service every year. Also,
they further agreed. If people In the
moderate income group saved as much
ahead for sickness as they spend on
tobacco and cosmetics they would be
able to pay prevailing rates for pre-
ventive medicine and emergency Ill-
ness. Somehow, the majority of peo-
ple think a doctor needs money much
less than the tradesman who passes
goods over a counter.
An authoritative writer recently
said: “Notre Dame men rejoice In the
prowess of their gridiron heroes, but
are prouder still of the less transitory
traditions that cling to their alma
mater.” If the tradition of a winner
there Is “transitory," then that word
does not mean what most of ns think
It does.
Descendants of men who aided Wil-
liam the Conqueror In Ills Invasion of
Saxon England have formed a so-
ciety. It seems to he a social asset,
nowaday*, to have an ancestor who
muscled Into some racket In a big way.
So Much for Advertising
The people of England are eating
more fish. Of course, having always
been surrounded by tbe sea and being
a seafaring folk, they have known the
merits of a fish diet for a long time,
but of late they have taken to fish as
never before. It all came about be-
cause the British fish trade some time
ago agreed to appropriate one penny
of every pound sterling represented
In the value of the fish landed, and
use this money for advertising. They
spread broadcast the exhortation.
‘‘Eat More Fish," and the people
caught the inspiration. Aa a result
the business of the British fishing In-
terests has Increased more than $5,-
500,000; the trawlers that were laid
up a considerable part of the time
now are busy; new trawlers are
under construction, bringing a touch
of prosperity to British shipbuilding
Industries and unemployment has
been lessened. In addition, trawlers
and boats during the past year used
150,000 tons more British coal, and
the coal mining Industry has been en-
couraged. And perhaps best of all,
the food supply of the British people
has been increased and cheapened.
So much for advertising.
When the first radio broadcasting
station was estahliahed in Sweden
nearly five years ago Swedish Imports
of metal wind instruments were
valued at only $12,000 to $14,000 per
annum. In 1028, when five broadcast-
ing statllna were operating In tills
territory, the imports of metal wind
instruments had increased to $42,000,
due to a greater demand for Jazz In-
struments both for the radio orches-
tras themselves and for amateur
bands formed as a result of Interest
created by the radio. The so-called
Jazz flutes are largely imported from
America. The United States, In fact,
supplies the greater part of the Jazz
Instruments sold, and American saxo-
phones are the best sellers.
It is rather discouraging to a man
who Jms to heat his home to learn
that the heat of a candle may be
measured two miles from the flame.
Now the home heater know* that he
must heat a lot of the countryside
aa well as his home.
