A luminous compound containing ra-

can manufacturer for use in locating

marking watch dials, ete. In powder
form the compound is of about the
same fineness as ordinary talcum
powder, and is nearly as white, says
Electrical Merchandising. This pow-
‘der may be mixed with adhesives or
varnishes and used as a paint. The
compound is also furnished in flexible
sheets which can be cut and shaped a>
desired, and can be applied to uneven
or broken surfaces. This form can be
used in making self-contained brass:
backed buttons to glue on electric
switches already installed and for
manufacturers to fit into the hard
rubber portions” of new switch but-
tons. The enamel is said to be water-
‘proof and immune to damage from vi-
bration, and may be applied to watch

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No foolishness! Lift your corns

It's like magic! !
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid one’s feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist

NW YORK. —Convinced that the house cat is an economic pest as well as
a dangerous disease carrier, in addition to its ruthless toll of valuable
song and insect-destroying birds, officials in several states are openly advo-
: : cst various forms of restrictive leg-
_ islation. These range from mere 1i-
_cense laws, designed to get rid of the
“ fiomeless feline population, to out and
out extermination, which is urged by
the extremists. s
i=3 “The only reason the game com-
mission has ever tolerated a law pro-
tecting raccoons is because in that
way we keep down the number of
cats,” one state official explains. “Rac-
y coons themselves do untold damage to
Ly ~~ game, poultry and useful birds. But
if ’coons were not protected they would be quickly exterminated. Cats have
no value that I ever heard of. They kill rats and mice, but that’s all.e Such
vermin can be controlled as well without cats as with them. Thousands of
homes never have a cat inside them; neither do they have any rats or mice.
Other places which may be infested with rats and mice have cats, too, but
the cats don’t seem able to wipe ot = smaller animals. No one need fear
that destruction of cats is going to increase the number of rats and mice.
Proper traps and other measures wiil do more than any cat.”
State officials say that the household which has a pet cat exhibits opposi-
tion which is natural. Members of such a household do not have any concep-
tion of the number of homeless eats in city and country which have to skirm-
ish for their own living and which are half wild or entirely so; it is from them
that the chief danger comes. Conservative estimates are that in New York
city alone, where the question has been studied, there are 8,000,000 cats, one-
half of whom have no owner. :
If each one of this 4,000,000 or so cats no one wants, in skirmishing
around for his living consumes only one cent’s worth of fog? every 24 hours
it amounts to $40,000 a day, or nearly 5,000,000 a year, more than sufficient
to build a superdreadnaught. That is a pretty stiff price for one city to pay
as a general cat tax in one year.

Yale Senior Class Has “High Record for Spending

EW HAVEN, CONN.—Despite the high cost of living, or, perhaps, because
of it, the present senior class at Yale is going to leave a record for spend-

“Movie” Actor Tells Pitiful Story of Privation
OS ANGELES, CAL.—Having eaten bologna he knew was poisonous, when
he could no longer stand the pangs of hunger, Roger Pierrot, twenty-
seven years old, a motion-picture comedian, was found unconscious from
weakness and ptomaine poisoning. He g
told a pitiful tale of privation and
worry ; of how he lived for a time on
grass and stolen oranges, while vainly
trying to obtain work. His chief con-
cern is for his wife and two babies, ii
who are in New York and who were
in want when he last heard from them,
a couple of days ago. :
The comedian said he was work-
ing and living happily in New York
when he met a Los Angeles motion-
picture producer, who offered him i aa
work there, at $50 a week for the first month and $100 weekly thereafter. He
declared that when he went to the studio here he found it only a barn. In-
| stead of giving him $50 a week he said the producer offered him only $15,
which he refused. The same day, he stated, $30—all he had—was stolen.
«] walked from one studio to another hunting work,” he said. “At
Charlie Chaplin's place I got work for six. days at $5 a day. I sent my wife
$18. When my money was gone, the man who got me out here came to my
room and offered me $2 a day. I ordered him out.
“I succeeded in finding just one more day's work and got $3. I sent my
wife $1, paid $1 on my room rent and used 89 cents to pay for laundry. On
81 cents I lived since Tuesday.
«J spent the last of it for bread and bologna sausage. I had eaten noth-
ing since Thursday night but the roots of some tall grass and oranges I stole.
Hunger forced me to eat the last of ihe sausage, though it had spoiled.”
Pierrot broke down and wept when some letters fell from his pocket.
