That Six-Hour Layoff
Not in the Contract
“The man who operates a dairy has
a steady job, and those who work in
Yeeding, milking, distributing and
‘keeping the barn in condition can’t
doaf on the job or failure is sure,”
said Bob Bell, “as is illustrated by
‘the dairyman who was noted for the
“high quality of his cattle and seeing
“to it that his hired help were kept
“busy. A negro came to him for work,
and, after looking him over, was told
“he didn’t took like he wanted a steady
Job, ‘Yassuh, boss, Ah wants a stiddy
Job.! He was put to work. His ‘stiddy
Job’ was to milk 20 cows, care for the
milk, wash the utensils, curry the
eows and feed them, and drive them
“to and from the pasture. It took him
-gighteen hours to perform his duties,
‘but he was game and stayed for a
«couple of months, Then he gave no-
“tice that he was going to quit. ‘I
knew it! I knew it!’ railed the dairy-
aman, ‘I knew you didn’t want a steady
Job. ‘Yassuh, boss, Ah does’ pro-
“tested the darky, ‘but yuh ain’t been
givin’ me no stiddy job; you's been
dayln’ me off six hours every night.”

‘More Than One Method
of Arriving at Truth
Can you tell when another person
«ds telling a lie?
There are people who claim to be
-able to detect a liar at once, and a
“machine has been invented which, by
“measuring a man’s blood pressure,
-gives a fairly clear indication as to
“whether he is telling the truth or not.
A non-mechanical test for liars hag
«been in use in the Kast for many
years. If a crime has been committed
dn a village, the villagers are drawn
up In a line, barefooted, and ques-
tioned.
The questioner doesn’t pay much at-
“gention to faces—he glances at the
“toes of each individual. If they are
“#eclawing down” into the ground, their
owner knows more about the affair
“than he cares to admit.
This test, of course, only works
‘where the natives don't know the
gigns for which the questioner is look-
‘Ing. And changes in blood pressure
aren't necessarily a proof of guilt.
“They denote fear or anxiety, which
‘may be felt by the innocent as well as
“by the guilty.—London Answers.
i Fire in History
"Benjamin Franklin deserves to be
- «galled the father of American comfort.
“The rocking chair is attributed to
“him, and his was probably the first at-
‘tempt ever made to construct a hot-
air furnace. Certainly New England
“had no household furnaces before
“1835, and even the first successful
“baseburner is dated about 1830. Prim-
“itive man dug hearths in his cave
Wodging, classical dwellings found
‘braziers adequate, the Middle ages
“built fireplaces of a necessary enormity
for their spacious halls and if was
~only a little while ago, as time flies,
“that anyone enjoyed the modern lux- |
ary of a stove such.as within one cen-
tury has become an ° “American
antique.”
: It Sounded About Right
“A story Conan Doyle used to love {o
~gell, for it was against himself—he was
“that kind of a man—had to do with a
‘Jecture he was about to deliver on
-one of his tours over here. At the last
‘minute the man who was to have in-
“troduced him was unable to be pres-
~ent, and another local worthy was
“hurriedly pressed into service, He
~did right nobly until the critical mo-
ment arrived. Then he faltered, pulled
“himself together, and proceeded:
“And now, ladies and gentlemen, iv
«is my great pleasure and privilege to
“introduce to you Canon Doyle, the
-sminent divine.”—Kansas City Star.
Food of Wild Pests
One of the duties of state trappers
74s to determine, by stomach examina-
tion, just what coyotes, wolves, wild-
cats and foxes live on. The stomachs
of 82 coyotes examined revealed 18
<rabbits, nine deer, two traces of sheep's
wool and bird feathers, and one wood-
~chuck.
Seven foxes examined showed them
40 be living upon woodchucks, rabbits,
=mice and ruffed grouse. Of seven wild-
cats three had eaten ruffed grouse and
“four, rabbits. One wolf revealed that
it had dined recently upen venison.
Copenhagen City of Spires
There are so many fine spires and
towers on the churches and palaces
“in Copenhagen that it has been de-
-geribed as the “City of Spires.” Al-
sthough it is ancient, Copenhagen now
‘18 modern in appearance. The earlier
houses built of wood were destroyed
by fire in the Righteenth century and
have been replaced with brick and
-stone buildings. Copenhagen is noted
“for its parks, among which the most
“famous are the Tivoll gardens, laid
«out in 1848.
Doing One’s Best
The thrill of doing a job to the best
«of our ability is one of the greatest
spewards of this thing called work,

Poppies and Battlefields Are
Associated
For hundreds of years this flower
has been associated with the battle-
fields of western Europe, especially
in Flanders, where it grows as a
pest among the wheat and in uncul-
tivated fields. Poppies grow luxuriantly
on battlefields in that section simply be-
cause such fields are torn up and then
neglected for a season or two. Con-
temporary writers refer to the pro-
fusion of poppies. which sprang up on
the battlefields of Landen, Ramilies,
Malplaquet, Fontenoy and Water-
loo. William of Orange and Lux-
emburg fought the bloody battle
of Landen in the summer of
1693. In his history of England
Macaulay says of this battlefield:
“During many months the ground
was strewn with skulls and bones
of men and horses, and with
fragments of hats and shoes, saddles
and holsters. The next summer the
soil, fertilized by 20,000 corpses, broke
forth into millions of poppies. The
travelers, who, on the road from Saint
Tron to Tirlemont, saw that vast sheet
of rich scarlet spreading from Lan-
den to Neerwinden, could hardly help
fancying that the figurative prediction
of the Hebrew prophet was literally
accomplished, that the earth was dis-
closing her blood, and refusing to
cover the slain.” The poppy became
peculiarly associated with the battle-
fields of the World war as the result
of the poem by John McCrae, Can-
adian physician, soldier and poet. “In
Flanders Fields” was written duling
the second battle of Ypres. The poppy
is the official memorial flower of the
American Legion and is widely worn
on Memorial day—DMay 30—which by
reason of this fact is frequently called
Poppy day.—Exchange.
Why Lock System Was
Used in Panama Canal
There is a difference of only a few
inches between the levels of the twa
oceans at the Panama canal, and thig
had nothing to do with the selection
of a lock canal or high-level canal
instead of a sea-level canal. Some of
the reasons for the lock canal ads
vanced by the chlef engineer, John
S. Stevens, were: 1. The time and
cost of construction would be less than
half that required for a sea-level
canal. 2. ‘It provided the best solu-
tion of the problem of how to care for
the flood waters of the Chagres river,
flowing Into Gatun lake. 3. It pros
vided for enlargement of its capacity
to almost any extent at much less ex-
pense of time and money. 4. Cost of
operation, maintenance and fixed
charges would be much less. 5. It
would provide as safe and a quicker
passage for ships, and therefore would
be of greater capacity. For these and
other reasons and on -the advice of
President Roosevelt, congress in June,
1908, voted for the lock canal.
Why Well “Whistles”
The phenomena of a well sometimes
seeming to whistle and the water
pressure change are largely the re-
sult of disturbance of the balance he-
tween two forces—air pressure and
hydrostatic pressure, So delicate is
the balance that some wells show
daily fluctuations, according to the
daily barometric changes, Around 3
a. m. and 4 p. m., when atmospheric
pressure is usually least, such wells
exhale air, the water table tends to
rise and flows tend to increase.
Around 10 a. m, and 9 p. m., when at-
mospheric pressure is usually great-
est, such wells inhale air, the water
table tends to drop and flows tend
to lessen.
Why Called “Black” Hills
Black Hills is a literal translation oi
che name given to the mountainous re-
gion in western South Dakota by the
Sioux Indians. In the Dakota tongue
the name was Paha Sapa, alluding to
the dark and somber aspect of the
pine-clad heights as seen from the
plains. These heights really deserve
to be called mountains. Harney Peak,
with an elevation of 7,242 feet above
sea level, is higher than any peak in
the Appalachian or Ozark ranges.
There are several other peaks in the
Black Hills with altitudes of 6,000 feet
or more.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Why “Ham” Actors
Before the use of grease paint was
introduced into this country, actors
coated their faces with ham fat and
then applied the colors, They were
known at first as “ham fatters” and
this was finally shortened to “ham.”
. This was before the time of Charles
Meyer, a hair dresser and wigmaker,
| who came to this country from Ger-
‘ many in 1868, and was the first to
introduce grease paint in this coun-
try.
Why Red Ink Is Used
The use of red ink by many banks,
particularly savings banks, to note the
interest is simply a matter of conven-
fence, the interest being more easily
distinguished from the principal sums
by being written in colored ink. Any
color preferred may be used, or it is
not necessary to use a different color.
Why “Sons of Han”
The Chinese people are sometimes
called “sons of Han,” from Han, the
founder of the twenty-sixth Chinese
dynasty, with which modern history
begins,
Why Sun Causes Sneezing

Flood Waters Raging Through a Break in a Mississippl Levee.
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society, Washington, D. C.)
ATURE played favorites in ap--
portioning the great rivers of
the world. Of the dozen larg-
est, six are in Asia and three
in Africa, leaving only three for the
two continents of the New world. And
among the twelve leaders, Europe and
Australia are wholly unrepresented.
The longest single river is the Nile,
measuring some 4,000 miles from head
to mouth, The Nile is further distin-
guished in that it has no tributaries
for the last 1,500 miles of its course
to the sea. During this stretch its
waters are considerably reduced in
volume by evaporation and irrigation,
so that it grows smaller instead of
‘arger toward its mouth.
Other African rivers among the
length-scoring twelve are the Niger
and the Congo, both fed by the trop-
ical rains of hot regions near the
Equator. In a general way they more
nearly resemble South America’s rep-
resentative, the Amazon,
great streams of the colder northern
continents.
Of Asia’s six longest rivers, four are
in Siberia, the Ob, Yenisei and Lena,
flowing north into the Arctic ocean,
and the Amur emptying into an arm
of the Pacific. The other two are the
Yangtze and Hwang, or Yellow, river
of China.
These twelve river basins represent
the greatest variety of climate and
civilization. The Amazon and the
Congo flow through lush equatorial
jungles inhabited by birds of brilliant
plumage, wild animals and savage
tribes, while the mouths of the Ye-
nisei and the Lena are above the
northern timber line and their valleys
support the sparsest population, The
Mississippi and the Yangtze flow
through established, if divergent, civ-
ilizations, with rich cities along their
banks like jewels on a string. The
Nile is one of the cradles of world
history; the Mackenzie is still a
frontier stream.
Five of the dozen rivers flow to the
north, These are the Nile, Mackenzie,
Ob, Yenisei. and Lena. The Missis-
sippi and Niger flow south. The
Amur, Yangtze, Hwang and Amazon
run eastward. Only the Congo points
toward the west.
Difference In Floods.
All these streams overflow their
panks at intervals but the results are
strangely different. In the case of the
Mississippi and the Yangtze, floods are
national disasters bringing untold suf-
fering to millions. The annual over-
flow of the Nile with resulting ferti-
lization of the valley by the deposit
of silt is the source of the wealth of
Egypt. The Hwang, or Yellow river,
trom its habit of overflowing its banks
and changing its entire course at in-
tervals is known as the “scourge of
China.”
The Amazon and the Congo lie al-
most under the Equator, and the oth:
er ten longest rivers are in the north-
ern hemisphere. Four flow into the
Arctic ocean. A reason is not far to
seek. The greatest land masses are
in the northern half of the world, and
without large land areas long rivers
are impossible. The smaller conti
nents of Australia and Europe are not
represented in the dozen. Similarly,
the reason for the longest rivers flow-
ing to the north and east Is that the
longest continental slopes extend in
those directions.
The Yangtze and the Mississippi are
(ined with wealthy cities largely be-
cause of their location in the temper
ate zone. The tropic Amazon, Niger,
and Congo are too hot; the Mackenzie
and the Siberian rivers are too cold
for the favorable growth of towns.
The Nile valley beyond Cairo is a
mere strip of green from 15 to 30
miles wide between two burning des
erts. The Hwang is too variable in
its habits to encourage navigation or
river ports.
From the earliest times these long
civers have furnished high roads for
the exploration of continental interi-
ors. Nero sent an expedition to dis-
cover the headwaters of the Nile,
which failed to reach {its objective.
Russian penetration of Siberia fol-
lowed the great river beds. The
Amazon and the Congo are still high-
ways of discovery. Head reaches of
the Yangtze are veiled in Asiatic ob-
gcurity. The Niger was the river of
romance in the great days of Tim-
buktu. The histories of the world’s
river basins have been the history of
the world’s empires. A great river is
both a roadway and a source of life.
Menace of the Mississippi.
Although North America can claim
only two of the world’s dozen longest
than the
rivers, it possesses in the Mississippi:
Missouri the longest of them all.
This magnitude of the Mississippi is
becoming more and more of a menace
because each flood seems greater than
the preceding one. Why this should
be true has been a problem to some
laymen; but one of the chief factors
is plain enough: it is the usually laud-
able effort of Americans to develop
and build up their country.
Aside from the fact that several a.
cades ago there were fewer people liv
ing and fewer dollars invested in the
regions subject to overflow in the low-
er Mississippi valley, the fiood stages
were actually lower ia those days.
They were lowe ', to consider one im-
portant fact, for the very good reason
that then less water was fed into the
Mississippi’s 100,000 tributaries in a
given space of time. Forests and
woodlands that do not now exist held
a large part of the rainfall and fed it
slowly into brooks and creeks and
rivers. Irregularities in the lie of the
land. formed puddles that later evap-
orated, or sent rills in tortuous paths
that slowed up the runoff.
In late years a constantly increasing
population has been busy changing
these conditions. Every tree cut, ev-
ery roof built, every street paved, ev-
ery drainage ditch dug, and every cul-
vert constructed in the vast area
drained by the Mississippi river sys-
tem has done its bit toward pouring
rainfall more quickly into the great
river.
Not only has man helped to pu.
more water into the Mississippi; his
works have helped to confine it there.
When De Soto and his followers first
knew the Mississippi it spread out at
each flood season over a wide area.
Sometimes in. its lower reaches it was
20, 30, and even 40 miles wide.
The fact that the flood waters
spilled away at numerous places into
swamps and lowlands kept the flood
crest down in the lower river. In
1717 three-foot levees protected New
Orleans. Now they rise 25 feet er
more above the city. Even as late as
1882 the highest flood stage at New
Orleans was 16 feet. In 1922 it was
above 22 feet. One reason, at least,
for this, is that more efficient levee
maintenance for many hundreds of
miles along the river has herded the
flood waters past New Orleans as well
as other lower river points in the reg-
ular channel.
Levees Protect Vast Areas.
More intensive development of the
lowlands has made this levee system
necessary. Now some 29,000 square
miles are dependent on the levees for
protection. Breaks still occur, and
when they do they drain off some of
the flood waters and so relieve in some
measure the strain on the banks far-
ther down stream. But it is not the
innocuous affair that it was in the
days of De Soto. Now towns and plan-
tations, railways and industrial plants
lie in the lowlands, and any “relief”
that a levee break may occasion to
down-river points is at a cost of many
lives and much valuable property.
On the whole a considerable quar
tity of water finds its way from the
lower Mississippi through levee breaks
and bayous. The most important nat-
ural safety valve is the Atchafalaya
river or bayou which flows away from
the Mississippi at the mouth of the
Red river, and finds its way directly
to the Gulf of Mexico some 50 miles
west of New Orleans. In flood times
this out-flowing stream takes from the
swollen Mississippi as much as 350,000
cubic’ feet of water each second—an
amount equal te more than half the
average flow of the Mississippi. It is
because of such losses as this, coupled
with the much greater depth of the
channel in the lower river, that the
flood stage can be between 50 and 60
feet at Memphis and Vicksburg, and
only a little more than 20 at New Or-
leans.
The Mississippi river system is truly
- a continental feature, draining a mil-
lion and a quarter of the three million
odd square miles of the United States.
Thirty of the 48 states send a greater
or less contribution of water to this
great stream.
The main Mississippi river is mor.
than 2,500 miles long, while the Mis-
sissippi-Missourl is 4,200 miles in
length—the longest river system in
the world, The great scale on which
the Mississippi is bullt becomes evi-
dent when one considers the time re-
quired for floods to pass down its
course. About thirty days are re-
quired for the surging flood crest. to
pass from the mouth of the Ohio to
New Orleans, and from ten days to
two weeks from Greenville, Miss, to
New Orleans.

HO
COLOR HARMONY AFFECTS
APPEARANCE OF HOUSE.—
Of all the factors which give the
house ‘'omplete character and
charm, hat of pleasing harmony
in the color of roofs, walls and
trim is perhaps most important.
Color harmony is achieved only
by the use of hues, permanently
fixed in the material of the roof,
which blend with the color of
the body of the house, of the
sky, and of surrounding foliage.
This harmony is furnished in
a slate-surfaced shingle of mul-
tichrome type, now available
everywhere, which gives a heavy
and thick roof at moderate cost,
supplying the requisite color in
variations of the surface tex-
ture.
This type of roofing is econom-
ical to lay and equally good for
new or old jobs, laying right
over old roof surfaces where de-
sired.
Waterproofing of the heavy
base is done by impregnation
with practically pure bitumen,
treated by a vacuum process.
Thickness of the base provides
that always desired quality in
shingles, a heavy shadow line,
enhancing the interest of both
color and texture in roofings and
increasing the apparent expanse
of the roof.
Colors available include weath-
ered brown, onyx, tapestry tan,
opal and bronze mosaic. An al-
most limitless number of rich
effects is possible by utilizing
various combinations. An inter-
esting device called a harmoniz-
er is available through the mak-
ers of these shingles, consisting
of a series oi color cards repre-
senting roof and house body se
that the owner can predetermine
the harmony of the two.

How Sugars Differ in
Degrees of Sweetness
Corn sugar or dextrose is one of
the three carbohydrates most impor:
tant as food. A bushel of corn will
produce approximately 25 to 27 pounds
of dextrose. It cannot be distin. :
guished from ordinary ganulated (cane .
or beet) sugar in appearance.
The other two sugars referred i.
are sucrose or ordinary sugar, and
levulose, the finest of all sugars, large
quantities of which are consumed in
honey and sirup, and the sugar which '
is the most easily assimilated’
physiologically.
The relative sweetness of the three
sugars rates as follows: Dextrose,
74.83; sucrose, 100; levulose, 173.3. The
United States bureau of standards
originally developed dextrose for its
low sweetening power. Since it has
been produced in the form of granu-!
lated sugar its sweetening power has
greatly increased. It is used to adul-
terate beer and sirups.
How Cities Are Improving
Evidence that at last “some cities
are pulling out of their dreadful
frontier” is beginning to appear, ac-
cording to a report of the commit-
tee on city and regional planning of
the American Institute of Architects, '
made public by the president of the
institute, Robert D. Kohn, |
“The pioneer era of ugliness is pass
ing,” the report says.
“Major traffic street plans involv-
ing the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars have been com-
pleted in 144 cities, and started in 64 '
cities.
“Both small and large cities in
creasingly seem to appreciate provi-
sion of playground for both children
and adults with the centralization of
children’s playgrounds at schools.”
How to Contrast Colors
Black is often used in decorating
sun parlors, either as a background
for the bright splashes of other color
or as a contrast here and there. Be-
cause the sun porch is so sunny and
so colorful it can stand some black,
which would perhaps not be possible
in an indoor room. Think of such a
sun porch on a summer afternoon—
a big wicker armchair or porch swing
with bright cushions and a near-by ta-
ble holding magazines and lemonade
glasses! On a winter afternoon it is
just as enticing.
How to Restore Glass
A glass dish ruined by having hard
water stand in it continuously may be
recleaned by filling with sour milk |
and allowing to stand a day and &
night, discloses a correspondent in
Successful Farming. The glass should
then be washed, after which it will
be found that the original luster is
restored.
How Error Gave City Name
Translated, “Rio de Janeiro” means
fiver .of January. An early explorer,
De Sousa, sailed into the bay upon the
first of January. He thought it was a
river and gave it the name. The city
took its name from the bay.
How to Clean Fine Glass i
Use eggshells to wash bottles or |
vinegar cruets. Crush them fine, put
them into the cruets with warm, soapy
water and shake well. This will clean
the finest glass without scratching ft.
How “Henri” Became “Harry”
The name “Harry” evolved from

Collectors Gather at
Frankfurt’s Insect Fair
One of the strangest fairs in the
world is held at the German town of
Frankfurt every year, Nottingham,
England, has its goose fair, and in
other cities there are mop fairs and
fur fairs. But Frankfurt goes one bet-
ter than any of these by holding am
insect fair.
Collectors come from all parts of
the world to meet sellers of rare but-
terflies and moths. Some of these are
worth amazing sums. There are men,
too, offering and disposing of beetles,
flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so on.
Most of the vendors bring their stock
with them and display the beauties of
their speciméns to inquirers. There
are many, however, who do business ip
quite a different way.
They *have no stock with them; they
sell insects, so to speak, on the hoof,
just as cattlemen will sell beasts that
are a thousand miles away on the
ranges, These sellers of queer insects
specialize in knowing just where the
rarest kinds are to be found. Along
comes a collector who asks if a par-
ticular specimen can be obtained for
him, Though the one which will event-
ually grace his cabinets is not yet
born, the order is booked and in due
course the specimen is delivered.
Louis Kossuth Showed
Eloquence in English
America’s deep-rooted tradition as
! an asylum for the oppressed of other
' lands, a tradition which in some in-
| stances has been permitted to lapse
fn recent years, found vivid expression
on the visit of Louis Kossuth to this
| country after the collapse of the Hun-
garian revolution of 1848 and 1849.
says an article in a Boston paper.
Kosuth was an orator of stirring
eloquence even in the English tongue,
which he had mastered by reading
Shakespeare and the Bible in an Aus-
trian prison cell.
Here is a sample of his oratory, the
start of his Faunueil hall speech:
“Do me the justice to believe that
1 rise not with any pretension to elo-
quence, within the Cradle of Ameri-
can Liberty. If 1 were standing upon
the ruins of Prytaneum and had to
speak whence Demosthenes spoke, my
tongue would refuse to obey, my words
would die away from my lips, and I
would listen to the winds, fraught
with the dreadful realization of hig
unheeded prophecies.”—Detroit News
Opened Indies to Trade
In 1599 the Dutch raised the price
of pepper from 3 shillings to 6 shillings
per pound, and in September of that
year the merchants of London banded
together for the purpose of joining a
company to direct trade to the Indies.
The East India company was granted
a charter by Queen Elizabeth in 1600,
and was first called “Govenour and
Company ‘of Merchants of London
Trading with the East Indies.” In
1698 William III incorporated the
“English Company Trading With the
East Indies.” The two were amalga-
mated in 1708 under the title ‘“The
United Company of Merchants of Eng-
land Trading to the East Indies,” com-
monly called “Honorable East India
Company.” :
Smart
A Santa Monica woman has at last
become the champion of her sex. She
had been subpenaed as a witness and
the court, before she began her testi
mony, instructed her as follows:
“You must be very careful, madam,
to state only what you actually saw
and know. There must be no hearsay
evidence.” He then signaled for the
prosecutor to go ahead.
“What is your age?’ asked thax
worthy.
“] cannot answer,” cooed the lady,
“] have only hearsay knowledge on
that point.”—Los Angeles Times.
Russian Universities
The universities of Russia before
the World war were divided into two
classifications—the universities of arts
and sciences and the institutions
which included the schools of mines,
technological institutions and the like.
Students in the universities of arts
and sciences wore uniforms of dark
blue material, trimmed with light
blue. Students in the other institu-
tions wore uniforms of black or dark
blue and wore special insignia of the
particular institution which they at-
tended, on the shoulders of the uni-
form.
Firefly’s Light
Lightning bugs or fireflies belong to
any species of two genera of beetles
of the family Lampyridae. Photuris
pennsylvanica is a common form in
the eastern United States. Fireflies
produce a bright, soft, intermittent
Hght without sensible heat from an
organ in the lower part of the abdo-
men. This organ appears to be a spe-
clalized part of the fat body and is
supplied with nerves and abundant
tracheae. The light is supposed by
some to be caused by oxidization of a
substance secreted by the cells.
Difference
Sunny, driving through the coun-
tryside with his grandmother, ob-
served some pigs eating greedily in a
field of clover, and inquired what they
were doing. “They are eating clover,”
his grandmother, informed the little
fellow. “They like it just like you like
spinach.” Sunny was instant in his
disclaimer:
“But 1 don’t like spinach at all,”
gaid he.
