Much the Same An overproud Englishwoman said

to the Congressman: "Do you know, this republican form of government seems to have many drawbacks. For example, it must be terribly galling sometimes to be governed by people you would never think of inviting to your home to dinner."

"Pardon me," retorted Mann, "but isn't it equally galling to be governed by people who would never think of inviting you to dinner?"

"And how does it work?" demand­ed one of the Englishmen.

"Well," said Eddie, "by means of a pedal at tachment, a fulcrumal lever converts a vertical reciprocating mo­tion into circular movement. The prin­cipal par t of the machine is a huge disc that rotates in a vertical plane. Power is applied through the axis of the disc and work is done on the per-phery, and the hardest steel by mere impact may be reduced to any shape."

"Bah George, it 's bally wonderful, don't you know. And what do you call the bloomin' thing?" demanded one of the listeners.

"A grindstone," grinned the Ameri-an as he made for the door.

Niagara Falls, nature 's American masterpiece, is merely the successor to a grander cataract that , aeons ago, shook the forests about the present site of Thorold, Ontario. This opinion is held by several engineers who have inspected the local excavations for the new Welland ship canal, reports the February Popular Mechanics Mag­azine. Here, 10 miles south of Lake Ontario and the same distance west of the present waterfall, precipitous ledges have been uncovered, over which water from Lake Erie is thought to have poured in seeking the lower level.

Eddie Rickenbacker, the American ace, is as unassuming in private life as he was spectacular in his flying exploits. He likes to be plain and likes plain Americans, and when he first went to France, nothing disgusted him so much as the snobbish manners and even more snobbish talk of some of the English flyers. One evening, af­ter a par t icular ly obnoxious run of high brow talk, the American slipped into the conversation by remarking

"Thi3 morning I went over to see a new machine we've got a t our place. I t 's wonderful how it works."

THE NATIONAL

BANK OF COCKEYSVILLE COCKEYSVILLE, MD.

The annual sick bill of 30,000,-600 American wage earners is $1,000,000,000.

The time clock of the nation shows that each worker, through sickness, loses an average of nine days. This means that the work­ing time of the nation is decreased by more than 850,000 years.

Half of the billion-dollar sick bill represents wages lost—sub­tracted from the total of earnings expected to finance the budgets of millions of families. The other half represents the bill for doc­tors, nurses and medicines. And the total is twice the amount given annually In the United

States for all philanthropic pur­poses, in normal times.

This is the problem of illness as it is presented by the survey now being made by the Inter-church World Movement.

The survey has formulated a program as a proposal for the co­operative effort of the evangelical churches. An increase in the effi­ciency and capacity of existing denominational hospitals is the first provision of this program.

Construction of 31 new hospitals is the second. These hospitals in­clude 12 general hospitals for white people; twelve for negroes; one tuberculosis sanitarium for Arizona; four hosnitals for incur­ables and two children's hospitals.

Yes! There's plenty of money in Bal­timore county, but it 's not running-around hunting- a pocket into which to crawl. Speed up! Get a bit more pep!

In time even a lion will t ire and cease i ts roaring. But the wets and drys keek roar ing forever.

How a Noted Vet. Gets Rid of R a t s -Fa rmers Heed.

Dr. H. H. Butler, says, "I use RAT-SNAP around my hospitals every three months, whether I see ra t s or not. It does the work—RAT-SNAP gets them every time. I recommend it to every­body having rats ." Don't wait until there is a brood of rats, act immedi­ately you see the first one. Three sizes, 25c, 50c, $1.00.

Worm Drive and Demountable Power Plant While simplicity is paramount in Maccar construction, nothing necessary to

strength and durability is sacrificed. A glance at either the front or rear of the Maccar Chassis is sufficient to impress the observer with its rugged and sturdy appearance, but it is only by close inspection that the real importance of Maccar construction is revealed. All units are arranged so as to work in perfect harmony, and no part performs more than the function for which it was originally intended. This is the basic essential which has made the Maccar the super-truck of today.
