Feverish Search For
the Average Man
By Rev. Frank Coat. Chicago
A verv strong and rack-
ing doubt has got imo my
mind. One of the v.*n
mudsills of my subcon-
aclousncss, a very “sleeper”
of my cosmic house, has
been loosened and all sons
among my wits.
For it has occurred to me that, after all. the minority are in the
majority. 1 know it sounds crazy. I know that. Heaven be thanked .
I am snared the last illusion of the insane, that 1 am sane.
But while I have always lived, moved and had my being under con-
viction that the majority not only rules but also actually cuds, com- to
think of it, I have never seen a majority, while everywhere about u*
is the large, active and exceedingly vocal and assertive minority.
The majority of the people in the United States believe in our pr s-
ent form of government, yet I never met a man in my life that did nof
think he could improve it. '
The majority are sound and well, but did you ever run across a welt
woman ?
The majority are sane, yet have you ever found one man indu-
bitably so? . ,
The fact of the matter is that the average man is a myth; he is
a mathematical hypothesis; he exists only for the purpose o( statistics
and arguments^ he is the stuff out of which generalities arc formed, lie
is like an atom, or a kilowatt, or a nebular hypothesis. Everybody is
abnormal. Normality is merely the imaginary point where the abnor-
malities balance.
I never talked any length of time with a human being who did not
by and by say something like, “Well, 1 am peculiar, I know,” “1 am
strange," “I am not like most folks,” or words to that effect.
Strange that the entire population of the globe is in the minority!
The rarest person hi the world to find is the one who does, says or
! thinks as most people do. *

In London the police
only arrest a man when all
other methods of manage-
ment fail.
The London force is com-
posed of the most well-bal-
_ anted, prudent and consid-
erate men, and yet they carry their point and uphold the law in a thou-
sand cases, when the bluecoats in the United States would deem it neces-
sary to use their clubs.
Instead of haling a very drunken man to the station, one of onr
bobbies will call a cab, if the inebriated one is at all gentlemanly looking.
and send him to his home or hotel.
No drunken man is ever harshly dealt with in London, provided omy
that he will keep on moving. If he stops and obstructs the street the
police will coax him to move on, and they do this without the brutality
that I’ve seen used in American cities.
I have seen in my country a stalwart policeman allow a disorderly
chap to rain blows on his body without showing the least anger, or resort-
ing to violent tactics. This may be going to the other extreme, but I
prefer it to clubbing.
The reluctance of the London police to use severe measures is espe-
cinilly noted in the ease of women. In London a woman has to do some-
thing desperate before she will be taken in charge.

Makes of Machines on Exhibition
at Muskogee, Oct. 6-11, 1913.
ORDINANCE NO. I7.
Visitors to the New State Fair who
are interested in automobiles and mo-
torcycles will see a display of auto-
mobiles and motorcycles ft the fair
that will be quite an education. The
different manufacturing firms of auto-
mobiles of a great many different
makes have already engaged their
space for their display, and this show
will be one of the features of the fair.
To those interested or contemplating
the purchase of machines, not only the
show will be of great Interest to them.
A uance is better than a
card party and a barn dance
is better than a similar
function in the house, con-
sidered from the viewpoint
of health. The blood he-
___ gins to circulate a little
faster immediately a dance is started and the heart lias a little more work
to do. There is, therefore, greater need for fresh air, to the end that the
blood passiug through the lungs may be properly oxygenated.
Sixteen numbeis, such as appear on the cards at “hops,’ carry the
dancers over a greater distance in actual miles than soldiers parade on
Memorial day. Four dances are eijsial to a drill night in the armory
In Dundee, Scotland, where the Caledonians are enthusiastic devo-
tees of the dance, a statistician counted the steps in a dozen different kinds
of dances. As a result it is shown that an average waltz, takes a dancer
over about three-quarters of a mile; a square dance makes him cover a
half mile. A girl with a well-filled program travels thus in one evening;
Twelve waltz.es, nine miles; four other dances at half a mile each, two
miles; the interval strolls and trips to the dressing room, half a mile;
total, eleven and a half miles. -

The women of America
have the settlement of the
bread question in their own
hands, and if they took the
right course the bakers
would he only too glad to
_______furnish full weight loaves.
There is no reason why every housewife in this good land should not
bate her own bread, and this would make the’public absolutely indepen-
dent. It would also bring the bakers to time and the loaf that weighed
less than the standard would soon be known no more forever.
The education of the American girl is woefully defective, if it does
not include knowledge of bread making.
One rightly made home loaf is worth any two that ever came out of
a bakery, l" am talking from intifnate knowledge of the subject, and the
commercial bread could not find a place on my table, even if it were a
donation.

tucky and Oklahoma have all sicnlfled
j their intentions to be at the New State
! Fair and compete for the liberal pre
mttinis offered.
The increase of sickness
which usually accompanies
moderating weather may he
partly accounted for in this
way:
/ The rise in temperntun
_____ outside causes closing of
the draft damper in the smoke pipe. This in turn permits lhe brick smoke
flue to chill and the gas, which the smoldering coal must throw off, instead
of continuing upward and out into the air, is pressed downward by the
heavy, cold outside air and comes through the crevices (usually loose door
fittings) into the rooms. The fumes may not be perceptible to the sense
of smell.
The users of coal should use asliestos paste to fill all crevices and
have the doors of their furnaces ami stoves made to fit closely, so as to
prevent coal gas from passing into the rooms.
