• HAVE
YOU HEARD?'
Two 'wonee were discussing.
the best method of getting rid of
unwelcome visitors.
Said Mrs. Brown: "il'Iy dear,
it's quite simple. I always put
on my hat and coat when I hear
the doorbell. Then, if it's some-
one I don't want to be bothered
with, I just say, `What a pity,
I'm just going out.' "
"And' suppose it's someone
you do want to see?" asked the
other. '
"Oh, then I say, 'How fortun-
ate: I've just some.' int"
Stranger: "Have you lived
in Bingville long?"
Native: "Have I lived here
long? Why, mister, you
won't believe it, but I lived
here when there wasn't a
aingle gas station in town."
Brown said he could teach
his parrot to say ",Hullo" in
an hour. He started and went
at it for 30 minutes without
his parrot taking the slight-
est notices
At last the bird turned his
head and, fixing Brown with
a cold eye, screamed:
Line's busy:
A certain customer always fell
asleep in the barber's chair. That
wasn't so bad hi a shop in which
Ile was well known. But where
be wasn't known"vell--
The day came that he starched
into a strange barber's shop and
found himself the only customer
in the place. He eased himself
into a chair.
"A flight trim," he ordered.
"Not much off the top."
Tlie barber nodded; went to
work. And as he worked, the
customer followed his usual habit
offalling asleep,
Three hours later he awakened.
He looked in the mirror, and, to
his horror, discovered that the
barber had given him a haircut
that made him look practically
bald.
"I only asked for a light
trim!" he howled. "Why have you
out off all my hair?"
The barber gazed moodily out
the window.
"What else could I do?" he
demanded, "Business is slow-
and I'd go erazy just sitting
around' idle!"
Two men were arguing'.
"What's the meaning of tact,
Jim?" asked one.
Jinn wrinkled his forehead.
"It's -it's-" he began.
"Well, what is it?"
"Look here, I'll give you an
illustration, The other day I
went to, mend a pipe in a bath-
room. When I got inside I saw
a woman in the bloonin' tub. I
gave one look, raised my hat,
and said, 'Beg pardon, sir!" that's
tact,",.

Earth Going Slower
Astronomers say the rotation
of the earth is getting slower.
Eventually it may take a month
to revolve; then there will be a
fortnight of daylight followed by
a fortnight of darkness, as on
the moon now. . The slowing
down is due to friction caused
by the ocean tides acting as
'brakes, and to the increase in the
earth's weight caused by falling
meteors. Newton estimated that
about a million meteors fall to
earth every twenty-four hours;.
though most of then are burnt
up in the atmosphere, -they form
part of the earth and add to its .
mass. Against this, the cooling
and shrinkage of the earth's crust
tend to increase its pace.

Railways which serves this U.S.
city over its own lines and carries
fish from Atlantic, Pacific and in-
land waters. Total weight of
fresh and frozen fish sold on
Chicago wholesale marlcets last

address at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Asso-

Shipping 'circles declare that a
demand by Toronto and other
Great Lakes shipping companies

continue to be favorable.
NORMAL OPENING, APR. 15
A number of Toronto vessels
were said last week to be ready
to sail and awaiting ,only the
opening' of the Welland Canal to
begin carrying their first cargoes
of the season. The normal open-
ing date of the canal is April 15
bat shipping men said the large
amount of goods awaiting ship-
ment to Toronto. might force the
opening by April 1.
The canal was said to be free
of ice on. the Lake Ontario side
but strong Westerly winds had
jammed ice into the Lake • Erie
entrance at Port Colborne.
• The shipping men predicted
that the. tonnage handled at To-
ronto this season would set a
new harbor record,

Finding New Use
For Corn Syrup
May Replace. One•Fourth of
Cane Products
Experiments carried on in the
dairy laboratory of 'the New,
York State Agricultural station
at Geneva, N.Y., indicate that
corn sugar or syrup inay replace
approximately one-fourth of the
cane sugarnow used in the
manufacture of ice cream, ices
and sherbets.
IN ICE CREAM
In a bulletin describing the ex-
periments, Dr. A. C. Dahlberg
said the most satisfactory results
were obtained with ice cream
when 25 per cent. of the sucrose
or cane sugar was replaced by
corn sweeteners.
Faith in Man's
Honesty Justified
John Burrell has faith in the
honesty of sten and a recent
experience justifies that faith,
he holds. An airman bound for
Saskatoon arrived at Toronto
Union Station where Mr. Burrell
is Canadian National Railways
passenger agent, and found hint-
self short just $2. of the neces-
sary fare. Mr. Burrell advanced
a two spot, the airman went on
his way and immediately on ar-
rival at Saskatoon forwarded $2.

factor.

The hats men wore fifty years
ago were bigger than to -day, for
the average size was 6% against

for they- both take 7%. So are
Mr. Churchill (7%) and Presi-

IHow CanI?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I ,'clean cellu-
loid?
A. Rubbing with ` a woollen
cloth and ( a little tripoli, 'and
then polishing with a clean wool-
len cloth is 'very effective. Sal-
aratus is, also very good for
cleaning celluloid.
Q. How can I prevent cham-
ois gloves from hardening after
washing them?
A. The gloves will not become
hard if a few drops of olive oil
are added to the water; the oil
also helps preserve the chamois.
Q. How can I replace a small
bit of wood that has been chip-
ped off a piece of furniture?'
A. This can 'be replaced by
'using the white of an egg. `
Q. What can I do if the toe
of a shoe -seems a little too
,large?
A. When this is the case, £i11
the toe with hair :combings. This
also prevents the shoe from
cracking across the. top.
Q. How can I mend broken
marble?
A. Make a very stiff paste
of Portland cement and water.
Clean the edges of the marble
thoroughly, apply the cement .to
both 'broken edges, press the
edges together very 'tightly, and
tie securely until the cement has
set.
Q. How can I remedy ink Shat
has become too 'thick?
A. Add a little vinegar to it,
and the ink will be usable again.

Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1, When a woman is indebt-
ed
to several people who have en-
tertained her, wouldn't it be all
right to give one large party, and
invite all of them2
2. Which is usually less ex-
pensive, a table d'hote or an a
le carte, meal?
3. When a professional en-
tertainer attends some social
function, is it all right to ask
him to perform?
4. If you are in a crowd, and
your companion is talking in such
a loud ivoiee that it is attracting
attention, What should you do?
5. Is It all right to call an
office employee by her first name
when speaking of her to the em-
ployer?
6. When calling on a friend
and she is not at hone, is it all
right to leave a message?
Answers
1. It would be better per-
haps, if a large number of
people, to give several smaller
affairs, inviting just those to
each whorl she thinks would be
congenial. 2. The table d'hote
meal is usually cheaper. 3. Not
unless it has been previously ar-
ranged. Otherwise, it is very
presumptuous to ask hila. 4.
Lower your own voice percep-
tibly. If this is not effective, say
"Let's step aside where people
cannot hear us." 5. No. Say
"Miss Blown," not "Alice." 6.
Yes, "Sony to miss you" may
be written on one's card.

Flour Ground
From 'Acorns
California Indians Grind Oak
"Fruit" Into Staple Food of
Their Diet •
Acorns from the oak trees of
the San Joaquin Valley have fur.
nished an important staplefood in
the diet of . Indians of the Yokuts
tribeforhundreds of years.
Consequently, it was of consider-
able Concern to Indlaus when the
crop of acorns was light last fall.
BITTERNESS LEACHED OUT
In the old days, the Indians lived
on aeorns day in and day out, con.
verting them usually into mush,
sometimes baking the mush on hot
rocks and frequently cooking it
with, deer ;meat or quail. Before
the white man brought hie civil-
ization. to this area, the acorn
meats and acorn flour could be
kept indefinitely. But now they
frequently become, grub -infested
after only a few months.
The Yokuts dry the acorn meats
in the sun and grind them into
flour on granite mortars. The flour
is winnowed on a ground tray un-
til it is as fine as wheat flour. The
bitterness natural to acorns is
leached out by placing the flour in
a cloth and pouring lukewarm wat-
er on it.
COOKED -ON HOT ROCKS
The meal is coolced by placing
it In a closely woven basket. Rocks
are heated over an onk wood fire
and then flipped into the basket
where the meal and water have
been mixed. Four rocks are en-
ough to cook a basket of mush that
feeds five Indians.
Instant Cure
Four boys had their hearing
restored instantly when a physi-
cian examined 93 hard -of -hearing
school children at Belleville, 111.
Out of the ear of one bay the
doctor took a deeply -embedded
bead, He removed a piece of
lead pencil. for another lad and
from the ears of the others took
two wads of cotton.

LIVES WITHOUT STOMACH
It is possible to live without
your stomach, sometimes more
happily than with it.
Science reports the case of a
man suffering frorn cancer of the
stomach who has been getting
along well without that organ for
the past year.
At operation the entire stom-
ach was removed and the upper
opening to it was stitched direct-
ly to the large intestine in a deli-
cate surgical manoeuvre.
The patient has to eat more
frequently than other people and
in smaller amounts but he has
no difficulty in digestion because
digestion is a function of the in-
testines and the stomach is mere-
ly a natural concrete mixer to
stir up the. food you eat.
