OCTOBER 22-28
Back to Standard Time this week.
Beware of killing frosts . . . Rita Hayworth bom Oct. 27,
1918 .. . New Moon Oct. 25 .. . Daylight Saving Time ends;
set clocks back one hour night of Oct. 27 ... Average length
of days for week, 10 hours, 37 minutes . . . Veterans’ Day

unveiled Oct. 28,1886 ... Swallows leave Capistrano, Calif.
.. . Marciano K.O.’d Joe Louis Octfc'26, 1951 ... U. S. Con*
gregational Church founded Oct. 22,1835... It’s hard for an
empty bag to stand upright.
We can give you this tip. Start in on small
ones first. Break up the filler a shade finer
than pipe tobacco, roll this up slack, to hold
it together, then put on your wrapper.
Cigars bum a good deal like a dynamite fuse, the very middle
carries the real hot spot, the rest is just sort of carried along.
Oh yes, you might keep an old-fashioned horehound cough
drop in your mouth while you are licking ’em.
Home Hints: When candles don’t fit your candleholders, run
very hot water over the end of the candle to soften it and
then press in the holder .. . Apply some colorless fingernail
polish to the ends of ribbon to prevent them from fraying.

THE OLD
Ask the Old Farmer: I raise a little tobacco
and for years I have thought it would be
fun if I could roll my own cigars and hand
them out to friends. But somehow I can’t
make the wrappers stick, and besides, the
cigars look lumpy. Do you know anything
about making cigars? K. L., Bloomfield,
