Fun in a Museum.
The Idea of a pink rosette being tied
on the 50-foot tall of the dtplodocus, a
giant creature that roamed the west-
ern plains a million years ago, Is
shocking In the extreme to bespec-
tacled men of fathomless minds, al-
though others treat the matter ns a
huge Joke.
The affair occurred recently in the
Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg. At the
time there were few people In the mu-
seum of the Institute, and the guard
had strolled afield. A party of young
women went through. They whispered
and giggled of wagers. They looked
down and looked back, and no one was
In sight. Then one young creature
slid a large pink rosette from beneath
her motor coat. In a jiffy she tied it
on the tail of the big dtplodocus. Then
they all slipped away, their heartH
beating fast.
Discovery shocked the attendants
and now every moment some guard In
the museum twists his head around
suddenly and looks suspiciously at the
tall of the dtplodocus. In his fancy he
sees the same pink rosette that caused
all the trouble.
Triumph of a “Masher."
A young man played a mean trick
on four modest young women In the
theater of a small town In York state
recently, records Bide Dudley in the
Morning Telegraph. The girls knew
the youth, but had snubbed him at the
door of the playhouse by refusing to
speak to him. He decided to “get
even."
The girls occupied the first four
seats In the sixth row and the young
man had the fifth seat. They paid no
attention to him whatever. During
the early part of the program a mono-
loglst came out on the stage and be-
gan to talk about love. It was theu
that the snubbed young man got his
chance to square accounts with the
girls. Suddenly the monologlst asked.
"Will all the girls who are In love
please stand up?”
Turning to the girl next to him the
young man said: "Please let me
out.”
Naturally, the whole four had to rise
to let him go by. When they were
once on their feet the young man set-
tled back In his seat and grinned. The
rest of the audience roared In glee.

World's Largest index.
On Deacon Hill, In Boston, under the
golden dome of the statehouse, la one
of the largest Indexes In the world.
In fact, the Russian public Index Is
the only one known to be larger.
More than 9,000,000 names, births.
marrtageB and deaths In Massachu-
setts from 1943 make a complete rec-
ord, showing not only whero people
were born and where they died, but
also statistics which are vital In mak-
ing up calculations. Before this
time, says the National Magazine, the
records were kept In the different
towns, but now they are all concen-
trated In the statehouse In Boston.
In a relatively small space all these
records are preserved, and as births,
marriages and deaths come in, differ
•nt forma of cards are used, and a
great variety of names, Grecian,
Assyrian, Italian and others now
mingle with good old New England
namea that have been on the records
since the landing of the Mayflower.
Price of a Son.
Professor Allen Hoben of the Uni-
versity of Chicago says that one boy,
reared In babyhood Uf the age of eigh-
teen years, costs his parents $4,000,
even If they are bo poor that they must
live In the slums. Wealthy parent*,
he says, pay more, and he adds: "A
son Is truly a costly luxury." Yes, ac-
cording to Dr. Hoben's figures, even
the slum father could In eighteen
years own a fine touring automobile
tor the sum be expends In rearing a
son. And If be rears six sons—that's ,
$24,009—on a salary of $1,000—that's j
$18,000 In eighteen years-think of the
art gems he could buy for his little :
cottage. Wonderful what the science
of statistics can put Into our beads.
