Many accidents are really freak-

;lifter only from bruises after a
fall from a window two storys up;
and yet ribs have been broken
merely as a result of a cough. This
last happened on two occasions to
a Wolverhampton• night patrolman.
Sneezes, loo, have the oddest
consequences. A SuFsex woman
snceaed with such energy that her
spine was dislocated and she had
to be put into a plaster jacket.
A Bridlington amateur actor will

SIMPLE TOOTH BRUSHING
' HAS LITTLE EFFECT
Three dental researchers report
in The Journal of the American
Dental Association that the com-
mon practice of brushing teeth in
the morning on arising and in the
evening before retiring has little ef-
fect in combating tooth decay, To
be effective, dentifrices trust be
used immediately after eating—es-
pecially after eating refined carbo-
hydrates such as sugar. On the
basis, of a laboratory study of the
length of time that certain anti-
biotics cling to the tilnt on the
teeth, the scientists report that
penicillin is "the only compound
that imparts a lasting effect in the
mouth."

One of these deuton statisticians
has it all figured out that there are
something like thirty-five million
sandwiches eaten in Canada and
the United States every day. Just
how accurate that figure is, Pm
not going to try and even guess,
and I don't suppose you'll worry
much over it either.

But we'll all agree that the sand-
wich has come a long way since
the Earl of Sandwich—not wanting
to interrupt his card game for a
meal—slapped a chunk of meat be-
tween two slices of bread and so
gave the combination a name.
Family meals, midnight suppers,
picnics, children's parties, teen-age
snacks, and afternoon teas all have
their own types of sandwiches, each
possible to make in sir unlimited
variety. These range from the sim-
ple two -slices -of -bread -with -filling -
between, through intricate and com-
plicated checkerboards, ribbons,
mosaics, pinwheels, .envelopes, and
cornucopias, to tine many -tiered
Dagwood that must be eaten in
layers,
* %F *
Sandwich -making is easier if
ready -sliced bread is bought, but
if you make your own be sure to
slice it evenly, and in thickness
suited to the kind of sandwich you
are making,
# *, *
You may choose French, potato,
Italian, Vienna or just plain sand-
wich bread among the white breads.
Perhaps you, like rye, pumpernickel,
whole wheat, cracked wheat, Bos-
ton brown, date -nut or raisin bread
for variations.
* * *
Buns, rolls, and biscuits must not
be overloolced for this purpose
and, if you are malting your own
loaves, you have banana, orange,
bran, cheese, date, oatmeal and
many others to choose front. Your
type of bread determines to some
extent what filling you wish to use
in completing your .sandwiches.
*
Whether you have one or 100
sandwiches to matte, the produc-
tion -line technique will help you
do it more easily and efficiently,
Line up your slices in pairs, rising
the two that lie next to each other
in the !Oaf—that way your sand-"
wiches will have even edges, and
will be easier to cut and wrap. They
will look mot's appetizing, too.
* *
Make fillings before starting of
the job of malting the sandwiches.
Have butter or margarine soft for
spreading—and be sure to butter
your bread to the edges! Frilling
spreads more easily if a flexible
spatula is used, and time is saved
if all sandwiches of one variety are
made before taking up ui second
kind,
k *
Put in plenty of filling if you
want a reputation for sandwich -
making "know-how." Bread is only
two-thirds of this favorite food—
the other third is filling. The con-
sistency of this minority member
of the triumvirate is important—if
it it's too soft it is oozy and if it
isn't soft enough, it becomes dry.

Light From The Atom
A well-known scientist has man-
aged to "freeze" light, stopping it
as it sped away frau the camera
at a speed of 186,000 miles Il sec-
ond.
The scientist used a special cant -
era with the incredible fast speed
of one hundredth -trillionth of a
:cond. The shutter speed of an
ordinary box camera is one-tacnty-
fifth of a second.
The photograph of light protht,:
ed showed a discontinuous series
of luminous points ,which are the
actual units of radiant energy ••f
which light is made ap.
Light is one of the most import-
ant things in our lives, but only
recently has the process by which
it is generated been discovered.
It is what scientists call an elec-
tromagnetic radiation. In order to
produce such a radiation electri-
city must oscillate, that is, move
to and fro like the swing of a pen-
dulum or the
t spring.
o a ,p tg.
These oscillations derive from
atoms. An atom consists of minute
Particles called electrons bearing a
charge of negative electricity.
These circle round a positively
charged centre of nucleus like the
planets around the stn.
\Vhen the atone receives energy,
as stay happen, for instance, when
it collides with another atone, an
electron will be pushed out of its
orbit and become farther away
from the nucleus, only to return
to its original place a fraction of
an instant later. In other words,
it oscillates, and this movement in-
side the atone is now known to be
the origin of light waves.
. Greatest marvel of light is its
speed. A light beam can • travel
a car going 60 m.p.h. can move in
round the earth in less time than
its -own length.
HE READ THEIR HANDS AND
TOLD THEM AMAZING. THINGS
My husband, who n es known to
the world as Cheiro---the most fa-
mous palmist ever — knew more
secrets of the great than any matt
of his time. This is no vain boast.

suit hitt; so did society beauties,

well as ministers of state writes
footless Meta 11)tlnott in "Tit -
Bit s."
Hail he chosen to reveal a tithe
of things, people told him he could
have thrown half Europe into a
flutter. Ile could have wrecked
many lives but he chose rather to
help people; to give happiness and
avert tragedy.
Early in his career a murder was
committed in the East -end and the
only clue to the crime was a faint,
blood-stained h;utd-print. It was
sufficient for Cheiro. He examined
the dead loan's hand and found
enough evidence to conclude that
the print belonged to a close rela-
tive. A detective was sent to inter -
gate a relative—till then unsus-
pected—who was so flabbergasted
that lac confessed to the crime!
Astonishing Prediction
So much in my husband's life
seems impossible that, were it not
trite, 1 should hesitate to put it
down on paper. One evening he
was eyed keenly by a stranger in
a train, who was obviously intrigued
by a boolc my husband was'read-
ing; on palmistry. After a while
he asked: "So you believe in hand-
reading?"
Cheiro confessed as much.
After someo
conversation theen
na
stretched out his hands. "Your
theories interest me profoundly.
Tell me—shall I gain ultimate vic-
tory?"
My husband studied bolt palms.
Ire explained that the owner was
a man of striking individuality, a
born leader.
"But this line fades," said the
man anxiously-, "what does that
mean?"
"Olt," interpreted Cheiro, "a Na-
poleon sent to St. Helena."
".And what shall be my Water-
loo?" •
".A woman—without doubt"
The stranger chuckled derisively.
"It's-, strange how accurate you've
been—except about the woman."
As the train slowed at Euston he
thanked my husband and slipped
a card into his hand, It bore the
name Charles Stewart Parnell!
Parnell, as everyone now knows
became leader of the Irish Narty
and might even have wrested Home
Ride for Ireland if, in 1889, Cap-
tain O'Shea hadn't cited him as
co-respondent in a petition for di-
vorce against his wife, Kitty. As a
result he lost the support of the
English Liberals, who were largely
Nonconformist, his owni party split
into Parnellites and anti-Parnell-
ites and, as Cheiro so truly pre-
dicted, his power waned, his car-
ter was ruined and he died a dis-
appointed matt.
Sly husband once took his stand
as a witness and was severely cross-
examined by Sir Edward Sfarshall
Hall, then at the height of his pow-
ers. Hall was so struck by his per-
rrtttality that they became firm
friend.. Cheiro later had reason
m ronsttlt hint professionally and
Hall, in turn, became a firm be-
liever in palmistry.
"Wonderfully True"
In 1809 Cheiro told him that he
would stand for Parliament in 1900
and gave him exact details about
Itis victorious campaign. Every-
thing he prophesied came to pass
with such accuracy that Marshall
Hall wrote to Cheiro in 1924: "It
may interest you to know that 1
have just been reacting the deduc-
tions you drew from my hand in
August, 1899, and I find throughout
they have proved to be wonderfully
trtle."
Cheiro was more than a mere
palmist. He combined an nerivalled
knowledge of palmistry and astrol-
ogy, with
an amazing gift for c1 t
-
voyance, which helped to make his
predictions uncannily accurate. One
afternoon a severe -looking gentle-
man was ushered into his consult-
ing room, who, when he was seat-
ed, thrust out his hands in a scepti-
cal gesture. Cheiro told hint that
in a certain month of a certain year
he would reach the highest pinnacle
open to him in Ida profession.
With a sardonic smile the stran-
ger said: "And now, sir, as you
have gone so far, you may as
well mance a guess as to the exact
date of this wonderful event."
Cheiro replied: "I will decide for
the nineteenth of that month:'
Then he :asked his client for an
imprint of his hands.
"You shall have it on the day you
mention," said the client, "provided
your prediction comes true."
Three years later, on the nine -
0
teenth day of the month, Cheiro
was summoned to the high Courts
of Justice and hollered through a
side door. Awaiting hint in the robes
of the Lord Chief Justice of Eng-
land stood his former client, who
said: "I atm now ready to keep my
promise. You can take an impres-
sion of my hands," He signed the
print "Russell of Killowen" and
and handed it to Cheiro. As a Ro-
man Catholic, Charles Russell was
not of course, eligible to become
Lord Chancellor.
Cheiro rarely told people that
they would die, for if death is
shown in the hand there is.nothing
,me can do to avoid it. But where
there was a sign of likely mishap
or injury, he invariably told his
client how to avoid it. Nevertheless,
he revealed to King Edward VII
and Lord Kitchener the exact year
and manner of death, because they
insisted on knowing. He told the
Tsar of Russia how be would die,
and foretold the grisly earl of Ras-
putin, the hated plonk.
When he visited- New York a
reporter on a famous newspaper
greeted hint with a proposition.
"Will roti consent to read the hand-
prints of six people that my editor
will send you,"
Spotted a Poisoner
t heiro had little option. Had he
refused he would have received a
damaging write-up or have been
hounded from the city as a char-
latan.
The prints were badly blurred.
but his deductions were astonish-
ingly accurate, One was that of a
Dr. Meyer, who insured the lives
of rich patients and then poisoned
them for the money. Though
Cheiro
did not know it, Meyer was
at that moment in a cell, awaiting
the electric chair.
Cheiro stated that he was a me-
dical man, outlined his crime, but
declared that he would never suffer
the extreme penalty of the law.
Shortly afterwards Meyer was re-
prieved and sentenced to life im-
prisonments ---
ABSENT-MINDED
A bridegroom, after the wedding
was over and the guests had de-
parted, began to search anxiously
among the wedding gifts.
"\Vhat are you looking for, darl-
ing?" asked the bride.
"That $500 cheque of your fa-
ther's," he said. "I don't see it
anywhere."
"Poor Dael is so absent-minded,"
said the bride. "He lit his cigar
with it."
