From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph
HS, IL - '61) of NC - 02/14/14 - "WOW":
THE YEAR IS
1910
This will boggle your mind, I
know it did mine!
************
********* ***********
The year is 1910
One hundred and four years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:
************
********* ************
The average life expectancy for men
was 47 years.
Fuel for a car was sold in drug
stores only.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a
bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a
telephone.
There were only 8,000 cars and only
144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most
cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world
was the Eiffel Tower !
The average US wage in 1910 was 22
cents per hour.
The average US worker made between
$200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect
to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births
took place at HOME.
Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO
COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called
medical schools, many of which
Were condemned in the press AND the
government as 'substandard.'
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair
once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed
a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their
country for any reason.
The Five leading causes of death
were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas , Nevada
, was only 30!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and
iced tea hadn't been invented yet.
There was no Mother's Day or
Father's Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn't
read or write and
Only 6 percent of all Americans had
graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were
all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.
Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin
clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,
Regulates the stomach and bowels,
and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'
( Shocking? DUH! )
Eighteen percent of households had
at least one full-time servant or domestic help.
There were about 230 reported murders
in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !
I am now going to forward this to
someone else without typing it myself.
From there, it will be sent to others all over the WORLD - all in a matter of seconds!
Try to imagine what it may be like in
another 100 years.
IT STAGGERS THE MIND
WOWZERONI!
It does indeed! Thanks, Haul Party!

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 02/14/14: |
A guy walked into a bar and ordered a shot of whisky. He gulped it down and
peeked into his shirt pocket. He ordered another shot of whisky, gulped it down,
and peeked into his shirt pocket. He ordered a third shot and did the same
thing. After the sixth shot, he asked the bartender for the bill, paid it, and
started to walk out.
Curiosity got the better of the bartender and he said to the guy, "Excuse me,
but I noticed that every time you drank a shot, you kept looking into your
pocket. I was wondering what's in your pocket."
The guy slurred, "Well, I have a picture of my wife in my pocket. I keep
drinking until she starts to look good."

Words by
Beth Slater Whitson
(01 Dec 1879 – 26 Apr 1930), 1910
Let me
call you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.
Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you!
I am
dreaming, dear, of you
Day by day
Dreaming when the skies are blue,
When they're gray;
When the silv'ry moonlight gleams,
Still I wander on in dreams
In a land of love, it seems
Just with you....
Let me call
you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.
Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart
I'm in love with you!
