Have You Heard
Isn't It The Truth
A boy, in the dock in a: Polish
eriminal court was being tested
as to his mental powers. The
magistrate said to him: "How
many States are there in Europe?"
Immediately the boy's eounsel
got up and, turning to the magis-
trate, said: "Sir, my client hasn't
yet had time to read the morning
papers and .cannot, therefore, give
a reliable; a�eply",

The Motion Not the Ocean
The two land lubbers were in a
row -boat in the middle of the
ocean. One handled the oars,
rowing away for all he was worth.
The second sat in the stern steer-
ing the rowboat by means of a
makeshift rudder.
Suddenly, a passenger liner
came into view. The man at the
oars kept rowing frantically, paus-
ing only when the liner crossed the
path of the rowboat. Then he
cupped his bands.
"Hey there, on board!" he
shouted. "Is this the Atlantic or
the Pacific?"
•A sailor aboard the big vessel
gazed down at the rowboat.
"This is the Pacific," he shout-
ed back.
The rudder -man waved his fist
at the oarsman.. "You hear that,
you dope!" he howled. "I told
you not to row so fast!"

Growled a surly old farmer
of Shoreham:
"When people trespass, I
ignore 'em.
But my bull, who runs free,
Has instructions from me
To pursue the intruders and
gore 'ern."

Comparisons
A Communist, a Fascist and a
British worker were in a boat
which capsized, and they started
swimming for the shore. The Com-
munist, accustomed to shouting,
forgot to close his mouth, swal-
lowed a lot of water and sank.
The Fascist swam for some time,
but as he was keeping one arm
outstretched in the customary po-
sition he soon tired and he, too,
disappeared.
The British worker swam on. He
'was in sight of the shore when a
whistle blew and he automatically
necked off work.

HOW Can
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q.—How can I quicken the task
of preparing lemonade?
A.—Dissolve the sugar in a lit-
tle hot water before adding to the
lemonade; it will sweeten quickly
and will not sink to the bottom.
A little seltzer in a glass of lem-
onade improves it and is very re-
freshing.
Q. -How can I treat 'a severe
case of sunburn?
A.—Mix two parts of limewater
to one part of linseed oil; beat
this to the consistency of cream
and apply.
Q.—How can I clean a fountain
pen?
A.—Dip the pen in vinegar, and
then rinse with lukewarm water.
Q.—How can I treat hives?
A.—Try taking a teaspoonful of
milk of magnesia two or three
times a day. Or, dissolve one
teaspoonful cream of tartar in a
half glass of water and take be-
fore each meal.
Q.—How can I prevent a thin
skin floe forming on the top of
custard while it is cooling?
A.—This will not occur if a
eloth or sheet of paper is placed
over the top of the receptacle
while the custard is cooling.
Q.—How can I easily remove
dog hair, fuzz, and lint from wool-
len clothing?
A.—Wet a rubber sponge, and
squeeze almost dry, then rub over
the clothing.
Relieved to be the smallest in
the world, a donkey belonging to a
llristol, England, breeder is two
feet six inches high and weighs
only 'twenty pounds.

proved hatcheries in his territory,
with an egg capacity of 2,836,090,
turned out 6,390,000 chicks, an av-
erage hatch of 66.5 per cent and

NEW GLASS RESISTS
TEMPERATURE -CHANGES
The housewife who has seen coli
drinking glasses shatter when they
were filled With hot liquids or
washed with hot water would .be
surprised to see the punishment a
new kind of glass will stand. This
new glass is so resistent to tem-
perature change that the scientists
in the research 'laboratories of the
Corning Glass Works, where it was
developed, were able to chill,a dish
made of it by embedding 4t in a
cake of ice and then fill the.
with molten iron without a sign
of a crack developing Its remark-
able properties are due to the fact•.
that it expands and. contracts, un-
der heat and cold, only one-tenth
as much as ordinary glass.

Dr. Alexis Carrell reports in the

the unique feat of keeping a hu-'
man thyroid gland alive for 62
days outside the body. This was
done with the Carrell Lindbergh'
artificial heart, and with some new
substitutes for human blood and
serum, which are one step towards
discovery of some artificial fluid
which. will keep human organs al-
ive indefinitely in glass containers.
The purpose is to be able to study,

Modern
E tiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1.—When an affair is given in
honor of a debutante, in her home,
should she receive with her mo-
ther?
2,—When invited to a dinner
party in a restaurant or hotel,
does one have the privilege of
choosing his own meal?
3.—Should children be allowed
to wear nail polish?
4,—Just how should a man lift
a stiff hat when tipping it to a
woman?
5.—When one is smoking at the
table. in a public diningroom, and
there is no ash tray, is it all right
to use his plate or a saucer for his
ashes?
6,—How should a woman write
ter the
her name of death of her
husband?
Answers:
1. Yes. She should join her
friends until all guests have arrives
ed, unless one or two are patties:
larly Iate. Then she should be
watchful and ready at all times
to be introduced to tl. late guest,

No; the host or hostess orders
the meal in advance, and t
guests eat what is placed before
them, the same as at a dinner in
s ineone's home, 3, No. Such in-
dhcations of vanity at an early elle
should be discouraged. d: the -

Best Detectives
Ordinary People
Scotland Yard Finds Its Top
Crime Experts Rise From.
The Ranks
After a comparatively short
trial, Scotland Yard has abolished
the experiment of getting young
men from Rugby, Harrow, Chart-
erhguse and other famous schools
where the sons of wealthy people
are prepared for the universities,
and putting them on crime detec-
tion.''They had high-powered care
of their own, capable of speeds
up to 100 miles an hour, and were
turned on to manhunts whenever
fast action was required. But al-
though they proved themselves ex-
pert drivers they were just that;
as detectives they were no good.
Experience has shown that the
best detective is the man who has
risen from the patrols. Nearly
every Scotland Yard man was an
ordinary policeman first of all.
The most noted men the Yard ever
had, nien like Wensley, Gough,
Carling and many others who
solved the worst crimes in modern
annals, rose from the ranks.
After all, in any occupation,
there is no more reliable servant
than the man who has been train-
ed from the ground up and gone
through the mill.
