Norway Reports New Device
To Help the Rum Smugglers
• OSLO, Norway, Apr. 1.—An in-1
genious procedure whereby smug
glers operating off coasts of Norway
having been successful in smuggling
large quantities of liquor into the
country, has been discovered by the
Norwegian customs officers.
The device, known to the trade as
< the corkscrew, consists of a long
torpedo-shaped iron cylinder, capa
ble of holding a hundred cans of
liquor, which is towed at some dis
tance astern of the smuggling ves
sel by a thin cable. The cylinder
is so weighted that it remains hid- i
t
den below the surface of the water.
A ship engaged in rum running can
thus be searched and nothing illicit
found on board. In an emergency
the cylinder always can be cast
loose.

TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.

Every day you miss good news of an improve

you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
Britons Prefer Baldnes
to Abandoning Tobacco
LONDON, Apr. 1.—Assertion by
H. J. Harper-Roberts, a Manchester
scientist, that smoking is one of the
causes of baldness, which, he said,
was greatly on the increase, has
caused comment throughout Eng
land. If the spred of baldness was
not checked, said Mr. Harper-Rob
erts before members of the London
College of Physiology, the result*
would be a race of hairless people
throughout the civilized world.
Baldness, the speaker averred, was
j more pronounced in cities than
i among the peasantry. There are
| three classes of baldness, namely,
congenital, senile and premature. In
ten per cent of the premature cases
cures could be effected at a defin
ite age by proper treatment. In
cases of feverish illness or poison
ing of the system, the blood pres
sure and low condition of the pa
1 tient brought about baldness. Smok
| ing, said the speaker, which intro
j duced poison into the blood, was al
so unquestionably a cause of it.
Commenting upon the foregoing^
the Telegraph says: “Europe has
only known tobacco for some 400
years. There were bald men before
that. Ceasar, for instance, and Aes
chylus. One heavy smoker, like
Tennyson, goes bald, like Carlyle,
keeps his hair one. But even if
it were proven that tobacco causes
baldness, we doubt whether 100
smokers in England would give up
the weed.”
Earl Warren, of Sultan, Wash., saw
ing into an immense hollow tree,
routed out a black bear, which fled,
leaving a bunch of black, hair in the
saw’s teeth.
A collie dog tugging at the bed
clothing of Richard Cole at Bangor,
Sask,, Canada, saved his life and the
lives of his wife and six children. The
home caught fire in the night.

Telegrams In Sweden
Speeded Up by Radio
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Mar. 31.
—Radio has shortened the time of
communication between Sweden and
the United States to an average of
23 minutes and 12 seconds for or
dinary messages, counting from the
time they are filed at any telegraph
station in Sweden until they are re
ceived in New York.
At the same time the recent open
ing of the Swedish government ra
dio station at Grimeton, which sends
direct to America, has led to im
provement in the whole telegraph
system. The average time for
transmitting a telegram in Sweden
has been practically cut in half.
