POSTAL CLERKS DECIPHER
BADLY MIXEDUP WORDS.—
A uinu whose main business for
44 years had been to unscramble
badly written addresses recently re
tired from the New York post of
fice. It may be news to the average
letter writer that clerks are em- •
ployed for their special aptitude In
deciphering the indecipherable, yet
thousands of such illegible ad- 1
dresses accumulate In the post of
fices of the country every day. So
proficient had this New York man
become that he could tell at a
glance that "kolnspen puddam
kony" was Intended to signify
"Cold Springs. Putnam county”
and that "\etrpat aln Brzk” means
in English “featherbed Lane, the
Bronx.”
Most of these more cryptic ad
dresses are written by foreigners
or others with imperfect knowl
edge of the English alphabet, who
think a name ought to he spelled
as they themselves might pro
nounce It in their own accent. So
the expert translator turns the
word about in Ills mouth and by
sense of sound more than anything
else reduces it to Its English equiv
alent. This particular clerk had de
ciphered more such words, it is
said, than any one else ir the de
partment. By contrast, the decod
ing of the Rosetta stone must have
been child's play.—Knickerbocker

How Sections of Tongue
Tell Different Tastes
Did you know that tiie only sen
sations of taste which you get with
your tongue are sweet, bitter, acid
and salt? You taste salt and sweet
at the tip of the tongue, bitter at
the back of the tongue and acid
or sour at the sides of the tongue.
One's seemingly great variety of
taste is due to the fact that taste
Is confused with odor sensations
which one gets at the same time.
Thus when you say, “What a deli
cious taste this peach lias 1" in
reality It lias a delicious smell that
is characteristic of peach, plus a bit
ter, sweet and acid taste.
In testing the flavor of coffee or
any beverage follow these direc
tions:—Inhale, let the beverage
completely cover the tongue and
sides of tiie mouth, swallow It, ex
hale slowly through the nose. In
tills way the full taste and odor can
be detected.—New York World-Tele

How to Be a Hundred
How to live to be a hundred and
how to be happy at that age was told
by Doctor Gueniot at the celebration
of his becoming a centenarian. The
celebration was given in Paris by the
French Academy of Medicine, of
which Doctor Gueniot Is an ex-presi
dent. He said the secret of long and
happy life is “sobriety and exercise.”
“Every morning and evening." he de
clared. “1 massage my body from top
to toe. 1 do not do It lazily in bed.
but standing upright—and I do It my
self. After the age of sixty one must
know how to live like an old man—
eat very little meat, but plenty of
fruit and vegetables.” The doctor al
lows himself n very little wine, mixed
with water, and takes tea or coffee
—but not too much of either.—Mon

How We Got Panama Canal Zone
The United States purchased the
French Panama canal rights for $40,
000,000 and the canal zone rights from
the Republic of Panama for $10,000,
000 and an annual payment of $250,
000. The treaty with Panama, says
Pathfinder Magazine, which became
effective.February 26, 1904, grants the
United States the perpetual rights to
the control, use and occupation of the
zone, extending five miles on each side
of the center line of the canal. Panama
was a department of Colombia, until
It seceded on November 23, 1903, nfter
failure of Colombia to ratify a canal
treaty with the United States.

SILVER
Some Pertinent Facts Relating!
To Bimetallism.
By William A. Hesse.
, (Seventh Installment)
Sir Archibald Alison, the
great English historian, says:
“Two great events in the his
tory of mankind have been
brought about by a successive
contraction and expansion of
the circulating medium of so
ciety. The fall of the Roman
empire, so long ascribed in ig
norance, to slavery, to heathen
ism, and to moral corruption,
was, in reality, brought about
by a decline in the silver and
gold mines ,of Spain and
Greece. And as if Providence
intended to reveal in the clear
est manner possible the influ
ence of this mighty agent in
human affair?, the restoration
of mankind from the ruin this
j cause had produced was owing
to the the direct opposite set of
I agencies being put in oper
ation. Columbus led the way
in the career cf renovation,
when he spread his sails to
cross the Atlantic, he bore
mankind and its fortunes in his
bark.”
Since the whole world recog
| nizes metallic money of some
sort we must approach the
question by examining the me
tallic money reserves. It is
| well known that the monetary
gold stock of the world on Jan
uary 1, 1930, was less than
$12,000,000,000, and that the
total silver coin and bullion
stock of the world was at that
Itime computed at $1.29 per
: ounce (the price representing
the value ratio with gold of 16
to 1) was $4,099,914,000.
Here we have, or would have if
! silver was worth $1.29 an
ounce, but $16,000,000,000 of
monetary metals.
It is probably true, as it is to
be hoped, that considerable
silver would come out of hid
ing if the price was fixed at
$1.29 per ounce. It is also
probably true, and is likewise
to be hoped, that the product
ion would be increased, but no
association, GO miles a any is tne dis
tance permitted for five consecutive
days. The maximum time permitted
on any day is nine hours. The horse
is usually carrying from 200 to 225
pounds. These endurance ride figures
are the only available records.
How Fu» Differs From Hair
' The exact definition of the word
“fur" is as follows: “The hairy cover
ing or coat of a mammal when fine,
soft, and growing thick on the skin,
distinguished from ordinary hair,
which is coarser, less thickly placed,
and commonly longer. The typical fur
animals are small mammals belonging
especially to the rodent aud carnivore
groups.”
How to Remove Putty From Window*
Put sufficient saleratus (soda) into
hot water to make a strong solution,
and with this saturate the putty. Let
it remain until nearly dry, then rub
it off with u cloth.

flood of silver could occur for
the reason that it does not ex
ist. The world has not yet
abandoned the metallic money
base, and it is obvious to any
thinking man that this money
base is woefully inadequate.
The world debt is estimated at
$750,000,000,000, while our
own internal debt is estimated
at $200,000,000,000. This is
not all. This debt was $200,
000,000,000 at the time it was
contracted, but by the appreci
ation of gold it has been
swelled to $320,000,000,000
and this gulf between gold and
debts that are payable in gold
continues to widen. The advo
cates of bimetallism not only
assert that the available supply
of gold is totally inadequate to
meet the requirements of the
trade and commerce of the
world, estimated at $400,000,
000,000 annually, but that it
has failed and collapsed as a
result of its impotence.
Our government now con
cludes that the safe course to
follow is to lock up the gold
rnd call in the paper re
deemable in gold. What is the
difference whether John Jones
hoards gold or whether Uncle
Sam hoards it? Some people
eem to think that the answer
lo this question is ten thousand
dollars fine or ten years impris
onment.
I Advocates of bimetallism fur
I her assert that such legislation
as has been enacted during ihe
past three years did not and
could not afford any rlief, and
it is believed that the results of
such legislation has fully sub
tantiated this assertion.
Does anyone have the terna
ry to claim that conditions
have improved or that prosper
ity has turned the phantom
corner? The so-called farm
relief bill admittedly enacted
n good faith has cost the
American taxpayer half a bill
ion dollars, and the farmer is
worse off than before. The re
construction finance corporat
ion authorizing $3,800,000,000
has failed up to this time to
produce any visible results. As
to some of the other legislation
| which might be properly in
eluded under the head of “no
ble experiments’’ the least that
is said the better.
The remonetization of silver
at an agreed ratio with gold
would cost nothing. It is the
most important question that
confronts mankind today.
Those who are responsible for
the gold standard and all of
the suffering that has resulted
from it for everyone but them
selves, have told us for the last
three years what is wrong and
how to correct it. Is it not time
to call another doctor, or shali
we let the patient die from the
effects of an operation thatwas
technically successful.
The advocates of bimetallism
have no case to prove. Silver
and gold have been in honor
able companionship as mone
tary standards from the dawn
of history and until, through a
