THE CROSS QUESTIONER STANLEY ©1924 POKEMIN HAYONS WAKE UP UNCLE! BRITAIN has been rudely awakened to the fact that prison for debt still exists in the British capital. Recently police came to the little home of Captain F G Firmin in London and carted him off to Maidane prison to pay a debt of 0,600 by working for $1.25 a day. Then some inquisitive person began digging into British prison records and found that Firmin is but of 13,000 Britishers languishing in jail, the main charges against him being that they owe money. And all this despite the fact that 9 years it has been Britain's proud custodian impasse for debt is abolished after Charles Dickens tacked it in one of his famous novels. Firmin was fined for carrying one machine guns on his boat out of the Thames river into the North Sea, where they were to be turned out to Russia. It is against the law to ship such ships without permission from the government. The punishment is fine treble the value of the goods shipped. Examination of the English prison words shows that most of the 13.9 persons imprisoned for debt have been for non-payment of the maintenance, or for arrears in ship for the care of illegitimate THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME NEB children or for arrears in payment of income tax. Most of the governors think the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA One Day's Rabbit Catch Government hunters have killed so many coyotes in Nevada that the coyote's prey, jack rabbits, now present even a greater menace than the coyotes did. Hunters now have turned their attention to the rabbits and they are harvesting huge crops of the jacks every day by poison. The picture shows the result of one day's work. courts should examine into the condition of the men before acting. And even in the case of the undeserving, arrangements should be made whereby they could pay off their debt by means of compulsory work. The governor of Exeter prison uses strong language: "There is a wider divergence in the imprisoned debtor class than in any other—fools and rogues, respectable and the reverse, pitiful cases and cases of scams. Imprisonment seems futile in the very large majority of cases." The governor of Gloucester prison expresses himself in similar terms—"Generally speaking, it seems of little importance for a prison for a debt he cannot pay through lack of employment. One man, who came in for wife maintenance arrears, told me that he had kept up his payments regularly while he had work, but fell into arrears through unemployment. No sooner had he a job again than he was arrested and brought to prison." Notwithstanding this strong feeling of repugnance on the part of the men who direct the prisons, the numbers imprisoned as debtors or on civil process have vastly increased in England: 1919—1830. 1920—2819. 1921—5204. 1922—267. 1923—12,995.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the terrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to bore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using my medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave.. Richmond Va I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have seen many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten red. My daughter was also by me of Rhuma her Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick in earth. Respectfully, J. D.

The average motor car owner does not get half the proper volume of light from his car's lamps that he should. Few headlights are properly adjusted or cleaned. To polish the silver plated reflectors is simple enough.ough wise man usual needs blowing out from behind and before the job is completed. Why? Because they know that wife's face rouge is the best possible polish for lamp reflectors. Just moisten it with alcohol and you will find that it is a wonderful cleaning and polishing agent. But don't pass the buck to me when your wife discovers that I threw you off. The reflectors are the most important part of the headlights. Without them the lamp bulbs are of little value and the lens do nothing but direct the rays. A lamp of 20-candlepower, with proper reflector and lens, will give all the light any driver needs. Higher candle power bulbs will only serve to run down the battery because they consume too much current. Miniature bulbs vary greatly in the volume of candle FTVB bulbs give more satisfaction than the cheaper kinds, for great care is necessary in the manufacture of the miniature bulb. If the reflectors on your car are bent, rusted, fogged or scratched they must be repaired, polished or resolved until the light is imaged therefrom. Dimit of the observations being made. And how does one adjust headlights? Here is the way: Stand the car on level ground twenty-five feet from and facing a wall. Draw a horizontal line on ```markdown ``` the wall at the height of the lamp center. Draw two perpendicular lines at the same distance apart as the two lamp centers. Adjust the focus of each light until the top & the bright part of the beam is flush with the horizontal line and so that the area of the bright part is divided evenly by the corresponding perpendicular. When headlights glare they are not only dangerous to the approaching car but they fail to give the best illumination to the man driving that car.

We live in queer, dangerous days. In Seattle the Government wants to dismantle an innocent looking broadcasting station: Every evening a lady, wife of the proprietor, sent through the air a beautiful bed-time story. That could parner more innocent? The Government says MANY things could be more innocent, for the bed-time story sent out contained code information for bootleggers. That’s what. Every week a firm on Long Island sends a $5,000 payroll to New Jersey by flying machines. The idea is to keep the bandits. In due time bandits also will get flying machines, just as they got high-powered automobiles. Sugar is necessary to the health and growth of children, necessary, also, by the way, to those that obey the Constitution and do their distilling inside of their own bodies. The President undoubtedly will settle the sugar question having in mind the needs of millions of American mothers. This story comes from Ann Arbor concerning the magnificent University of Michigan. Twenty years ago the property at Liggett Ontario was deeded to the university. The giving of the mine was then looked upon as a joke; it hadn't any value. But the Board of Regents of the university will soon give details of the discovery that the mine is worth ten. That will do two things. It will put the ten million dollars, through the university, into the building of better brains. A good use for the money. It will give sharks that live on fools a text to use in the selling of worthless mining stock. Edison has his mind on flying. May it be many years before he starts his great flight. The helicopter will let men rise straight up from the earth. Eagles can't do that. We shall fly at speed undreamed of now and the flying machine will revolutionize civilization. All that he says is true and much more. But the revolution in civilization will come in men's brains, and come slowly. It won't come through machinery, although that will help. Men invented machines that ought to have freed the slaves. But they fastened wage slaves to the machines. They invented flying machines, and their first real use was dropping T. N. T. and poison gas on other white men and on savages. Science moves swiftly, the brain moves slowly, and civilization moves slowly with it. Dr. D. E. Gerin, of France, on his way to America, should have as warm a welcome as we usually reserve for princes and others that never did a days work. He demonstrated a new method of treating pneumonia, before the members of the New York State Physicians' Organization. With this new method, six hundred cases of pneumonia were treated, without one death. Dr. Gerin also treats pernicious anaemia without blood transfusion. May wheat has passed $1.64. It will sell higher. Farmers are rushing their grain to market now, feeling that these prices will do. You will remember that this column predicted $1.50 wheat when the price was below $1.20. Unfortunately, gamblers have probably made more than farmers, although the farmers, for whom this is written, have also profited—those that held their wheat. A first-class gross business of six thousand million dollars a year for the big first-class railroads ought to make some profits possible, with reasonable economy and modern methods. However, it is so much easier to raise freight and passenger rates than it is to economize or THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 2 THOUGH it it's called "the old, old story" it is ever, ever new, from the embers of Redemption's blessed past; over nineteen hundred Christmases have voiced allegiance true—each Christmas morn more hallowed than the last. We celebrate this birthday with the anthem and the feast, for the shepherds must be diligent as when they saw "the bright an' mornin' star" a-blain' in the east, an' heard the strains of "Peace, Good-will to Men." We contemplate the table, loaded down with blessin's rare, provided by a gracious Master-hand, while faith endows ability to feel His presence there—it's a faith that his children understand. Let doubt assail us by whatever law they may oppose. I treat 'am with the dignity of scorn—and prey divine forgiveness on this blessed Christmas, from evil thoughts to which all flesh is born. Lord, give us strength and meekness, in the journey as we run, for Thou hast conquered death, that we may live. Go with us through the shadders till the spell of life is done—rememberin' to forgive as we forgive. the Judge's Josh A "TACTFUL MAN" IS HE WHO LOOKS ON WHILE SOME OTHER DUMB BELL SPILLS THE BEANS!

The Wreck tries to borrow five gallons from the occupants of a passing car. Then they pull up at the point of a gun and forcibly takes some of their gasoline. Next morning they stop at a ranch and meet the foreman. The man says, "Quaranty because he has lost his cooks just before the impending arrival of the owner. 'Can you cook biscuits ma'am?' asks the foreman. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Of course I can," said Sally "But I couldn't wait for them this morning." "I figured you could make 'em," nodded the foreman, "Can you cook meats? I don't mean plain fryin', but all kinds of ways?" "Quite a number of ways," she smiled. "I bet you can do tricks with eggs, like maken omelets and scrambles and things like that." "I can do some tricks," she confessed. "I bet you can," he said admiringly, as he arose from the table. "I sure did enjoy that breakfast. If you folks will excuse me for a little while, I've got some things to do. Just set around and make yourselves comfortable. In case you feel like cleanin' up—" He glanced at the pile of dishes in the sink. "Of course we'll wash the dishes," said Sally "We'll be glad to." said Sally "We'll be glad to" Charley McSween nodded and sautered out of the kitchen Sally looked the Wreck in the eye. "I suppose you thought you had to say that." she remarked "Only reason I said it." he answered returning her look "couples touring around in flowers are sup- posed to be married" "Reckon you're right." she ad mitted "Oh. well it's not im- portant You might bring these break fast dishes over to the sink I'll wash and you wipe" He was not very dexterous at wip- ing, but he got through it without breakage "She put an apron on him, much to his irritation, but he sub- mitted because she explained that it was a sort of regulation in kitchens. "I don't suppose you've noticed ning water in the sink. There isn't anything around here that isn't high grade. Did you see that other cupboard over there? It's full of china — not crackery, but china. I don't know where he gets his bacon, but I never saw that quality served out to ranch hands before. They must live high. The Wreck wiped the last dish, escaped from the apron and glanced at his watch "Only nine o'clock." he said. "We've got all day to make that train." "I'd clean forgotten," declared Sally. "But we'll find out all about it from Charley McSween." Charley reentered the kitchen presently tilted a chair against the wall and sat down. "We'll have a little talk." he anounced "Better set down." Sally drew a chair for herself, but the Wreck propped himself against the table. He wanted to be ready for emergencies. Somebody might have sneaked an alarm "Do you believe in acts of Provin- dance" asked the foreman, after a moment of thought. "Then from the fluvver exe- d glamors."

And all the time I was rememberin' how particular "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KEEPING US HERE" the boss is about his meals." He spent a few seconds in thought and resumed "Maybe you can see why I asked you of Providence. Only this mormon' I said to myself. 'Noth in' but an act of Providence will that ever grew a pigtail, along with her husband who can wash dishes fit for the most particular kind of royalty to eat off of. "I leave it to you if it dint so." Sally smiled but the Wreck's face had a suggestion of grimness "Are you suggesting," he asked, "that my wife and I go to work in your kitchen and get meals for your boss" "You've got the idea," said Charley McSween "Meals for the boss—and the boys" "Well, get it out of your head. Nothing doing" "I don't think your husband grasps it, meam. He don't seem to quite lay hold of the situation.

Said the Wren with an impatient gesture and an other look at his watch. We hapen to be catching a truth now. Speaking of paying of course we'll pay for our breakfast! Charley McSweney dismissed the idea with a gesture and studied the pair with reflective eyes. Then he sued. "It itt amt for me," he said. "To gaflyn into the face of an act of Providence. I am a believer in meet in Providence half way when she turns up a card for you. I am sorry - I am pimp sorry - that you, ma am, and your husband don't feel like you ought to stay. But we'll make it as pleasant for you us we can, and we won't keep you no longer than is necessary" Sally arose to her feet with a gasp of surprise and sought the eyes of the Wreck. He was boring a glance in the direction of Charley McWeen. "Let me understand you." he said. "Are you talking about keeping us here, whether we want to stay or not" "That's the unfortunate idea," said the foreman, regretfully. The Wreck laughed nervously. "You'll be quite busy keeping us," he said "Come on, Sally" Charley McWeen unlimbered him self from his chair and stood up "You don't get it all yet, he said. 'You don't either of you understand the workin's of Providence. Now it seems that when Providence fetched you here, and the lady proved that she could cook, and the gentleman proved he could wash disher and dry em, it was for ordinary human being to set him up to say 'No So I says I Providence. What are we going to to persuade these young mariners to take hold of this here emergency job and see it through?' And Providence says, 'Leave it to me. Now, it seems Providence knows how to operate one of these flwers. So Providence takes that fluvor and runs it down into one of the shells. Does that much Providence no damage to parts. Said wheel, havin been removed from the shed, is hid elsewhere, nobody but Provi dence know where it was put." Charley McSween spread his hands with an eloquent gesture. "Now you get an idea of the way Providence works," he said. The Wreck stepped to the door of the kitchen and looked out into the yard. When he came back he was removing his spectacles. "I can lick you," he said to the former man. "No you don't, said Sally, as she stepped in front of him. 'Not yet at any rate' Mr McSween kindly leave the kitchen. We want to have a little talk about things." Charley McSween moved hastily toward the door. "The cook's always the boss in the kitchen," he said. THE Wreck wanted to follow Charley McWenout outside, but Sally had a grip on his arm that he could not loosen without being rough. She dragged him to a chair pushed him into it and stood guar- 27 A sort of interrogative exclamation. 29 You and me. 31 All right. 32 A genus of plant suckers.
