A youngster's daily questions indicate a • bright, inquiring mind. They should be answered intelligent- ly. In this column each week the editors of this newspaper will print those questions—and their answers—most frequently • asked by children of their par- ents. • • • Why does it not hurt when we cut our hair? We feel pain when we suf- fer from any kind of injury because almost every part of the body has many small nerves in it that carry to the brain the sensation of pain. If there were no ,nerves there would be no pain. Our hair and our nails have no nerves and can be cut off without causing. pain. How does a cow make its milk? There are certain parts of the body that exist to produce sub- stances the body needs, These are called glands and they are the chemical factories of the body. Some glands exits in or- der to filter out from the blood materials that it does not want. Many glands in the skin do this. Other glands—like the one just -below and in front of the ear, which gets sv9ollen in case of mumps—make the saliva • that pours Into our mouths when we eat, and helps us to soften and digest our' food, ev- en before we swallow it. But there are a thousand glands that are a thousand times more beautiful and won- derful than any others, because • they do not exist to serve the body to which they belong, but in order to provide nourishment for the bodies of entirely dif- ferent individuals. When the cow 'has a calf, the gland called the udder, which makes milk, becomes active and has the wonderful power of transforming the blood that passes through it into milk for the young calf. The calf's mother eats grass and turns it • • Usborne Girl Will Represent Huron on Team Miss Kathryn Hicks, 18, RR 3, Exeter, who has been nam- ed one of two Huron County delegates to the Junior Farmer bus tour to Eastern Ontario and Quebec, left Sunday, on a six- day trip as far east as Quebec City.

Then the udder turns the blood into milk, which is the best food for calves, as it is also the best food for us. If we could see the udder under a microscope we would see the cells near the blood stream taking out of the blood everything that they need in order to make milk—pure, warm and containing every- thing the calf needs for its growth. How did the sand get on the seashore? Sand, wherever it is found, is ground -up rocks. Most of this rock material is sandstone, which is largely a compound of ,two elements, oxygen and sili- con. You know that in the world of living things, carbon is a very common element. Silicon is one of the most com- mon elements in the non -living world. Both silicon and carbon combine very readily with oxy- gen. Ages ago, when the earth was cooling down and forming a crust, a great deal of silicon combined with oxygen in a compound that we call silica. Tiny grains of silica became glued together by means of softer substances to form stone, which we call sandstone. This is not a very hard stone. Wind and water grind it down into grains of various sizes. Then we call it sand. Some sand comes from the breaking down of other rocks, but most of it is silica.
