Zurich Herald, 1938-12-08, Page 7A newspaper correspondent in Hollywood was heartily sick of his job: He decided to take a holiday, and when someone asked him where he was going, he replied: "I'm going to paste a big picture of Clark Gable on the outside of the bar and drive until someone asks, 'Who's ,that?' That's where I'm stopping," "Really, Arthur, your argu- ment with your wife last night was most amusing." "Wasn't it? When she threw the axe at me I thought I'd split" "Well, did you get any surprise present for your birthday?" "Yes, rather. I got a book from Bill I lent you last year." "Brown hasn't had his hair cut for ten years." "He must be mad." "No, only bald." "Why on earth do they make so muck fuss of that singer, Miss Smith? Miss Jones has a much richer voice." "Yes, but Miss Smith has a much richer father." A genius is a young man who can get through the whole sum- mer without getting a severe sunburn, a case of poison ivy, a Job or writing silly letters to the girl he Just met. Sunday School Teacher—What is the difference between cherubim and the seraphim? Silence followed. No one seemed to know. Suddenly a little hand went up.

How can I make brooms and mops last longer? A. Don't let the brooms, brushes, and mops stand on their straws, bristles, and strings.

How can I avoid an awkward and messy job when melting choco- late? A. Place the chocolate on a piece of waxed paper and allow it to melt by putting it over the top of a boil- ing tea kettle. The chocolate will readily run off the waxed paper. Q. How can I clean and polish silver? A. Sprinkle a little carbonate of soda into a damp cloth and rub thoroughly. Then wipe well with a dry chamois. Q. How can I remove varnish from fabrics? A. Saturate with turpentine, rub- bing between the hands, and then sponge with alcohol. Q. How can I make use of apri- cot seeds? A. The kernels of apricot seeds impart a delicious flavor when used in the same manner as nuts, in cake, cookies, and candy. Q. How can I remove spots from light kid shoes? A. Rub the spots with art gum.

CHEAPER GASOLINE Cheaper gasoline with higher ef- ficiency will soon be produced for motorists by means .of the Houdry catalytic process for refining the crude oil. It will bring a saving to motor- ists, because the process makes it possible for a return up to 80 per cent, in gallons of gasoline from each barrel of crude oil, compared with an average return under to- day's refining process of 44 per cent. METAL THAT "SHIVERS" A new magnetic metal that can "shiver" and turn on the heat was announced last week at the Bat- telle Institute, Columbus, 0. The shivering of this metal consists in losing its magnetism. It can be made to do this at any tem- perature from, 150 below zero to 1100 above. This makes possible use of mag- nets agnets of the new alloy for numerous automatic controls. Losing or re- gaining their magnetism, they oper- ate electric switches. They can be made to turn on the heat at 50, and shut it off when the temperature again rises. MARS COMING CLOSER Don't be alarmed, but Mars is getting closer to the earth every day.

The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY "ALL THiS AND HEAVEN TOO" By Rachel Field Here unrolls the strange, true story of Henriette Deluzy Des- portes, the author's great-aunt.
