i0dd Mixture Made of
Business and Religion
In uptown New York there is a
megro church in which attending serv-
Aces is an all-day affair on Sundays.
@ congregation spends from eight
to ten hours in the house of prayer,
joss meals and social circles interlard
rmons and Bible classes. :
Perhaps the most practical feature
lof the weekly gathering has to do
with business. Members of the flock
are invited to pass along their special
wants to the pastor and he in turn
proclaims them from the pulpit.
Thus, if one has a piano or a parlor
jset for sale it may be described as
\alluringly as desired, the price men-
{tioned and the name and address of
{the “brother” or “sister” broadcast.
!If one wants a job or a boarder the
jdetails are set forth in the same man-
mer. Recently a case of theft was
‘handled as follows:
“Mah dear brothers an’ sistern, Mis’
Amanda Rose Abernathy has lost her
beautiful pearl brooch—at least she
likes to think it were lost, but she
fknow the devil often find things for
folks what ain’t lost—so if any of you
jhave found it, in such eventuality
iplease return it to the lawful owner
ithereof. An’ to save embarrassments
and humiliations I would suggest that
ithe finder of the lovely brooch put it
in de little collection envelope.”—New
York Sunday Times.
“Singing” Mud Rivers
Alter Andes Skyline
One of the most interesting features
of the Andes, the great backbone of
icordilleras covering the northern part
of South America, says Nature Maga-
‘zine, is its “singing” rivers of mud.
During certain seasons of the yea
iain falls in torrents, converting the
[foothills of the mountains into actual
Streams of flowing gumbo, and so rap-
Adly is ‘this erosion occurring, the
‘whole outline of a chain of mountains
‘may become unrecognizable in the
lcourse of a year. :
The higher cordilleras, with alti
‘eudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, are be-
ing washed down at the rate of five
feet or more a year, and it is believed
ithat in a few centuries the Andes will
)be leveled and formed into vast
plateaus like the hinterland of Pata-
gonia.
The mountains are composed, for
«the most part, of glacial moraine, a
mixture of powdered rock and clay.
{The winter rains carry this alluvial
material down the valleys in a semi-
Jlquid state and form vast plains. It
igurgles with a musical sound like
‘poured molasses.
Flour From Corn
Corn flour is corn meal ground and
[bolted until it is as fine as wheat flour.
‘Tt is used in considerable quantities
‘by bakers and as a binder in sausage
making. During the World war it was
widely sold as a wheat flour substi
tute for use in quick breads, cakes
and general cooking, but it is not ordi
marily found on the retail: market.
‘Some of the pancake flours on the
. market contain corn flour or fine corn
meal, usually mixed with flour made
of wheat, rye, barley or other cereals.
In England the term corn flour refers
to the separated starch, which in this
country 1s called cornstarch and
which is used for thickening sauces
and puddings.
Lunch Away From Home
Married men of Eibar, a Spanish
town of 10,000 inhabitants, never go
home for lunch. They have a local
proverb which says it is unlucks if
men lunch at home more than twice
in their lives—on the day of thelr
marriage and on the day of their
death. Every man in Eibar, therefore.
lunches at a restaurant or at the fac.
tory or shop where he is employed.
It is believed the fact that most of
the women work away from home dur-
ing the day has given rise to the prov-
erb,
Pudding Is “Detoured”
The mister had a boyish habit of
visiting the pantry after the cook’s
departure and devouring all surplus
sweets. One morning after a night's
invasion of the pantry the coek asked
her mistress:
“What you all want for dessert for .
dinnah?”’
“] think the date pudding ieft from.
yesterday will be sufficient for to-
day,” said the thrifty wif.,
*That pudding’s been detoured by
that meddlin’ husband,” was the ir-
ritated reply.—Indianapolis News.
Peculiar “insult”
A Hungarian fruit dealer having a
very large melon on his hands decid:
ed to use it for advertising purposes
and accordingly he had the Hungarian
eoat of arms carved upon it with some
minor variations and thus he put it
on show in his window. The town
officials werc thrown into a panic hy
its presence and saw an insult te the
Hungarian nation. They arrested the
poor fruit dealer and took him into
court, where he was promptly found
guilty and sentenced to a fine or im-
prigsonment, He appealed his case
and the second court reduced his im-
prisonment to six months instead of
a year, but gave him no alternative
of a fine. His offense in each case
wag Insult to the Hungarian nation.

HE had married Gareth without
giving a thought of his past
life. He had appeared and she
had accepted him and that was
all there was to it.
But they were scarcely past their
honeymoon when that other life,
from which he had seemed perma-
nently detached, began to make in-
trusion,
They were having breakfast in
their three-room flat, with its new fit-
tings, when Gareth said:
“I've simply got to go and see Aunt
Sally. I can't neglect her another
minute.”
The name as she heard it was not
unfamiliar te Charlotte. Two or
three times she had found Gareth
writing letters and when she had
-asked him, according to her new
rights, who was to be the recipient
he had replied: “Aunt Sally.” And
now here was Aunt Sally again, crop-
ping up at the least warrantable mo-
ment. ya
“Bother
said,
Gareth looked straight at her. She
was so pretty, so bewitching, all pink,
pink negligee, pink boudoir cap with
a knot of pink ribbons over her left
ear, and pink cheeks. She had been
his wife for a month and three days
and he adored her. Still he didn’t
like her saying, “Bother Aunt Sally!”
“You don’t understand about Aunt
Sally,” he said quietly. “You've nev-
er let me tell you about her. But
you'll like her when you know her.
We'll take the week-end and go to
see her.” :
Charlotte dipped into her cereal
with dainty indifference, selected one
tiny morsel and carried it toward her
lips. Then she paused. It was her
prettiest pose. No silver-sheet star
simulating breakfast could have done
better.
“I shan’t go,” she pouted. “I hate
old women. And you won't go, either,
You'll stay with me, won't you, Babe?”
she smiled upon him, :
But Gareth did not smile back. °
“Don’t fool!” he said with finality.
“I'm going and you're going with me.”
“But, of course, I shan’t.” Char-
lotte did not like being told to do
things. At home she had been a pet-
ted infant. She did not like the big-
boss idea in husbands. Hitherto Ga-
reth had submitted to her every whim.
He’d have to now. That old Aunt
Sally! She hated her,
Gareth leaned forward across the
table with one of his most direct
looks. His chin had an odd thrust-
out look.
“AN right, my -dear. You may stay
at home, but I shall go,” he said.
All day Charlotte was sure that he
would change his mind before night.
And when night came she was sure
that he had. For he said nothing
about Aunt Sally. Neither did she.
Two days more passed.
Aunt Sally!” Charlotte
his week’s work finished. She was
putting the last touches to the salad
when she heard him doing something
in the bedroom. She went to see and
found him packing a bag.
“Why, Gareth Warren!
you doing?” she gasped.
“Packing my bag,” he replied.
“But what for?”
“I told you several days ago. I'm
going to spend the week-end with
What are
“Aunt Sally.
He had then not given up at all!
Charlotte stared in amazement, trying
to understand this new phase in his
uature.
“Oh, Gareth! You won’t leave me!”
she wailed.
He smiled upon her.
“No, I'll take you with me if you
want to go.”
So she went. What else could she
do? But she went unwillingly, pro-
testingly, with a grievance against
her big boss and with her heart dis-
tilling hatred for Aunt Sally.
After a four-hours’ journey they
alighted at a small station. Gareth
took her arm and the bag and they
walked through the cool, tree-shaded
village streets till they came to a
small gray house with a trumpe. vine
beside the door. Gareth went in with-
out knocking.
“Aunt Sally!
shouted.
They found her in the kitchen—a
tiny, white-haired old woman with
wistful blue eyes behind spectacles.
The spectacles had to come off on
account of tears as Gareth enfolded
her and kissed her.
“And this, Aunt
lotte,” he said.
“You dear child!” Aunt Sally ex-
pected to be kissed ard Charlotte had
to do it. She felt a little thrill some-
how when those blue eyes turned
upon her,
They had supper immediately, cold
sliced meat and thimble biscuit and
fruit cake and fresh applesauce—all
very plain and delicious. Afterward
Gareth wiped the dishes, with one of
Aunt Sally's aprons tied round his
waist. They had great fun over it
and Charlotte went out and found
a cat to play with and left them to-
gether.
As the mceon arosc they sat on the
porch, and Gareth and Aunt Sally
talked. Charlotte smelled the white
Jasmine in the garden and watched
the moon and was silent.
At sa early ‘hour they

Aunt Sally!” he

went up-
But be-
| fore they entered it Gareth led Char-
Then on |
Saturday he came home to lunch with |
lotte to another room, a small room,
with many beyish belongings. Snow-
shoes and fishing rods cn the wall,
school banners over the bureau, old
books, shells, stones. ;
“This,” he said, “was my room,
and Aunt Sally has kept it just as it
was.”
It was a crowded, ugly little room,
Charlotte thought, and it did not con-
struct for her that other Gareth, the
boy who had lived there.
“It smells musty,” she said with a
laugh, and went to the well-aired
guest chamber,
They went to church next morn-
ing, a drowsy proceeding, only en-
livened for Charlotte by the curiosity
her entrance occasioned. She had
worn her orchid organdie and looked
charmingly bridelike.
Dinner was a dull affair. There
was chicken—for it seemed Aunt
Sally had been expecting them—
chicken and biscuit and mashed po-
tatoes. Afterward Gareth begged
leave of Aunt Sally to go to look up
an old boy friend, >
For the first time Charlotte and
Aunt Sally were alone together. It
was an awkward situation. Charlotte
could see that Aunt Sally felt it as
much as she.
“Wouldn't you like te come up-
stairs with me? I want to show you
some things,” Aunt Sally said.
They went upstairs to Aunt Sally's
plain white room. Aunt Sally knelt
down before the old-fashioned chest
of drawers, opened a drawer and |!
began to take out things which filled
Charlotte with amazement and won-
der. A little yellow shirt, a worn
baby shoe, a rattle, a tiny pair of
knit mittens,
“You see, Gareth’s mother diea
when he was born, and he came right
to me,” Aunt Sally was saying. “I
was not married and there was no-
body else to look after him. I may
say I mothered him from the very
start.”
She sat there, the little silver:
faired old maid, with Gareth’s baby
things in her lap, dwelling upon them
fondly.
Suddenly Charlotte could see him,
sturdy, rosy, toddling in the little
shoes. She took one of them in her
hand. Her eyes overflowed. She
kissed it.
Then all at once she was on the
floor beside Aunt Sally and was kiss-
ing her, too.
“You dear little woman! What a
lot IT owe to you—my Aunt Sally”
she cried.
No National Anthem
by Act of Congress
“The Star-Spangled Banner” is re-
garded as the national anthem of the
United States. It is so recognized by
both the War and Navy departments.
However, it has never been made the
ofticial emblem by act of congress.
The official regulations of the army
say: “The composition consisting of
the words and music known as ‘The
Star-Spangled Banner’ is designated
the national anthem of the United
States of America. Provisions in
these regulations or in orders issued
under the authority of the War de-
partment requiring the playing of the
national anthem at any time or place
will be taken to mean ‘The Star-
Spangled Banner' to the exclusion of
other tunes or musical compositions
popularly known as national airs.
When played by an army band, the
national anthem will be played
through without repetition * of any |
part not required to be repeated to |
make both words and music com-
plete.” The office of naval intelligence
says in a communication to the Path-
finder Magazine: “ ‘The Star Spangled
Banner’ is the recognized national
air of the United States. None others
have official recognition. “America”
is sung at church services aboard nav-
al vessels.” Thus it will be seen that
“The Star Spangled Banner” is re-
garded as our national anthem, while
“America” is regarded as our national
hymn although neither has been SO
designated by act of congress.
Finding Ships in Fogs
Will the smoke screen, laid down to
protect battleships, become obsolete
and useless? Possibility that it may
is suggested in a recent invention by
John L. Baird, television expert,
whereby an electric beam is made to
penetrate smoke rnd mists and pro-
duce a sound whenever it meets an ob-
struction, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine, The nature of the obstacle
is determined by focusing the heam
upon a screen attached to the ap-
paratus. Tests with the outfit on a
coastal steamer rurning : between
Dundee and London indicate that the
electric eye will be of great help in
locating vessels in fogs, thus resulting
in a decrease of maritime accidents,
with a possible reduction of insur-
ance rates as a consequence,
What Youth Expected
A family living in an Old York road
town was upset over an injury to the
paw of the family cat. The father
took the animal to a veterinary and
the children, three young boys, insist-
ed on making the trip. Their mission
was successfully accomplished and
they returned home to tell mother gil
about it.
The second son, who is six years
old, said: “Why mother, that cat
doctor was a man.” His mother
asked: “Well, John, what did you
think he would be?’ The sober and
discontented reply was: “I thought
he would be a big cat.” Daddy laughed
at the idea, but Johnny cried and
said: “Well, Thomas thought so, too.”
Thomas, the older son, refused to com-
Had No Change
The other day a man stuck his head
out of a trolley window at Market
street and whistled to a newsboy for
a paper. The bey passed in the news-
paper and waited for his money.
The man searched through his pock-
ets one after another. A look of dis
may suddenly clouded his counte-
nance. All he could find was a $5 bill
As the trolley began to move, the
newsbey trotted along at the window
still waiting hopefully for his money.
He ran with the car at least half a
block before his customer realized
that he had no change. The paper
was sorrowfuily handed back to the
newsboy, who “cussed” so loudly that
several of the young women near by
had to muffle their ears.—Philadel-
phia Record.
Bald Heads Rapped
One Sunday morning Joseph Buck-
lin Bishop heard Henry Ward Beecher
preach a stirring sermon to a great
congregation. After a specially elo-
eloquent passage the preacher paused
a moment and then continued:
“The churches of the land are
sprinkied all over with bald-headed
old sinners, whose hair has been worn
off by the friction of countless ser-
mons that have been aimed at them
and have glanced off and hit the man
in the pew behind.” ;
That was a trying moment for the
bald-headed men present, comments
Mr. Bishop in “Notes and Anecdotes
of Many Years.”
Their Three Selections
Aunty had written the children to
write to her and tell her the three
things they most desired for Christ-
mas. Then, she said, she would se
lect one of the three for their gift
from her. Marjorie, being the older.
wrote the Jollowing:
“Dear Aunty—We were tickled to
get your nice letter and 1 will now
tell you the three things we want
most for Christmas. Buddy wants
three bicycles and 1 want three wrist
watches. These are the only three
things we can think of. With love
Marjorie.”—Kansas City Star.
Get Rid of Troubles
People in Korea seek to rid them
selves of all their distresses by paint-
ing images on paper, writing against
them their troubles of body or mind
and afterward giving the papers to a
boy to burn. Another method of
achieving the same object is to make
rude dolls of straw, stuff them with
a few copper coins, and throw them
into the street. Whoever picks up
such an effigy gets all the troubles
and thereby relieves the original suf-
ferer.
The One Sane Man
Out of every ten people alive today
at least five (at a conservative esti-
nate) have at some time or other
wanted to act in a play. Of the re
maining five, three have had the urge
to write cne, while one, at least, has
wand the urge to direct or produce one.
The tenth man does not believe in
“hes Kind of magic ar all. He is quite
vedivineed that the other nine ire
vauy.—Leslie Howard, in Vanity Fair
Magazine,
Inspect Your Car.
“Keep the inspection sticker on
your windshield during the month of
May.” is the advice given to motorists
by the Keystone automobile club.
“It is,” says a statement of the
club, “our information that the Penn-
sylvania Department of Highways
will follow up the ‘Save-a-Life’ cam-
paign by making an intensive drive
on mechanically unfit motor vehicles
after the inspection period comes to a
close Monday, April 30.
“Those who have complied with the
proclamation of Governor Fisher to
have their machines inspected, and
who carry stickers on the windshield
attesting to the inspection, will have
little to fear from the operation of
the State Highway Patrol. Those who
fail to show the sticker may be sub-
jected to inspection on the highways,
under authority of the new Vehicle
code.
“Of course, the presence of an in-
spection sticker is no guarantee that
the motor vehicle is in safe condition.
The sticker simply shows that the
owner has had his car inspected and
that at the time of inspection it was
‘mechanically safe.
“Only constant attention will keep
motor vehicles in roadworthy condi-
tion, which is the primary object of
the campaign now drawing to a close.
Motorists who fail in this require-
ment can have no valid complaint if
they are prosecuted by the State. It
is to their interest and safety as well
as to the public interest that all cars
operating on the highways are in con-
dition for safe travel.
“Only about half of the State’s
1,600,000 motor vehicles have thus
far been inspected. The reports in-
dicate that of these only 44 per cent
are in proper mechanical condition.
The need for overhauling of the
State’s motor cars is thus made strik-
ingly apparent.”
Dancing is Dangerous Says French
Physician; Dislikes Black Bottom.
Dancing is a dangerous sport, ac-
cording to a well-known French doc-
tor who condemns modern steps such
as the Charleston and Black Bottom.
Writing in the ‘Comoedia’ he says
that the knee is especially liable to
serious injury because the new dances
call for movements for which it was
never fitted. It is a one-way joint,
rather like a hinge in the center of
the lever formed by the upper and
lower leg, and is only adapted to al-
low..the leg to be bent backward: from
mit himself.—Philadelphia Record,
the center. In attempting to bend it
sidewise there is a serious risk of dis-
location. :
Even ordinary dancing imposes a
strain upon the knee and ankle joints,
according to the French doctor, and
any increase of this strain results in
painful consequences. Five thousand
cases of sprained or dislocated knees
have come under his notice recently,
all of them due to the modern dance
craze.

Lindbergh’s Feats Draw Men to Army
Aviation.
That the deeds of Charles Lind-
bergh have served to stimulate inter-
est in aviation to a remarkable de-
gree is shown by the fact that before
Lindy made his epoch-making trip to
Paris an average of only twenty ap-
plications a week was received for ad-
mission to the flying school at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, whereas the av-
erage is now more than two hundred
a week, according to Brig. Gen. Frank
P. Lahn, commander of the air train-
ing center of the army. This increase
in number of applications came imme-
diately after Lindbergh’s trans-atlan-
tained ever since. There are now ad-
mitted to the primary flying school
600 students a year, as compared with
300 cadets a year before the law
known as the “five-year program”
was enacted.
If the bill now before Congress be-
comes a law, the three existing army
flying fields at that place, Brooks,
Kelly and Duncan will not only be ex-
panded, but a new flying field to em-
brace 2,400 acres will be established
twelve miles northeast of San Anton-
io. The provisions of the pending bill
authorize the expenditure of $1,-
856,00 for buildings. It would provide
room for many additional cadets, and
it is stated that to the new field would
be moved the aviation force from
arch field, situated near Riverside,
alif.
