We have a number of very super- stitious gals around about here. In fact, some girls won't go out with bank clecks because so many of them are tellers, Jerry Sheetz was ice skating last week and broke through the ice. When I asked him if he almost drowned, he answered: “No..... but I was badly diluted. A certain little fellow from our midst was discussing his pater with his maw. In the course of the con- versation the lad explained: “Papa his fortune.” And the Mater, understanding her better half’s bragging, answered: “Is that why he’s on relief?” says his face is A Florin youth knowingly an- nounces: “Many a girl who's a vis- ion in the evening is a sight in the morning.” We'll have to use the school kids again. Friday, a teacher in our grade school had asked a pupil to give his definition of a rivulet.—However, af- ter many attempts to help him, she finally exclaimed: “You certainly must know what a rivulet is. Look— what comes down out of the moun- tains and goes on forever!” And the student, enlightened, immediately answered: “Hill Billies.” 4 Marietta youth who aspires to be tried to write a book on girls’ clothing—But there wasn't enough material. “Clayt” Newcomer says he had a very unusual experience Monday. A Scotchman came to his service sta- tion and drank a gallon of anti- freeze so he wouldn’t have to buy a winter overcoat. Johnny says some girls won't bet on th horses because they're afraid of the bookie-man, Met an old school mate of mine who was valdictorian in my days, and to renew acquaintances I asked “Is anybody in your family as smart as you?” And the fellow answered: “Yeah.....,.. my sister.” Kidding I asked: “Sort of a half-wit, eh?” He agreed saying: “Yeah....she’s mar- ried....she’'s been married for five years and she’s still in love.” “I'm glad to hear that,” I remarked. He continued: “Yeah—but her husband has no idea who the fellow is.” A lovely young blonde bought a litile doggie. She calls him Broker— because he’s active around the curb. ....Naughty, naughty. “It’s certainly a cold winter, isn’t it?” remarked George Shatto. And John Newcomer answered: Aw, this is nothing. When I was born it was so cold the stork couldn't make it— a penguin brought me.”....... Now, boys, behave, A very much married man says: “The best lie detector is a wife.” Would you like to hear a very sweet long story about a girl who worked in the button department of a shirt factory and sew on and sew on and sew on and sew on ? Heard something good in a rest- aurant today——It was soup. —A WISE OWL —_— Bamboo Arithmetic Japanese arithmetic is done by boys and girls in school on a kind of slate made of bamboo rods. Num- bers are represented by colored beads which easily slip back and forth as one counts. Written let- ters and numbers are made with a fat brush and black paint. The brush has a fine point for delicate parts of letters and much practice is need- ed to make the alphabet with its intricate design. rr EQ Ree Patronize Bulletin Advertiser; | Ma Perkins’ | Plans Py M. LOYOLR DUFFEY © McClure Newspaper Syndicate, WNU Service. O FOUR of her five children Ma Perkins gave care, substantial food and maternal affection, but only to one did she give self-denial, dainty extras and adoration. This fifth was Pansy. | She had been one of those plump, pink and white babies, that stran- gers stop to admire on the street, and now, at the age of nineteen, she | was still fair, with yellow hair—a | common type of prettiness. But to | Ma, she was a being set apart. No matter what time Pansy came | home, Ma would be waiting with a | hot, bed-time lunch. It was the | brightest hour in Ma’s long, weary | day. Pansy would sip hot cocoa and wax confidential. She would tell | Ma all about the college youths she knew, the make of cars they had, and the compliments they paid her. Most often she mentioned Ted Gladstone and his red roadster, an¢ | hope flamed high in Ma's breast— he was the big steel man’s son. Ma would smile contentedly, for the long lean years would soon be over and Pansy would soon have a beautiful home of her own and the other children would have their chance. Ma had known from the time that Pansy lay dimpling in her cradle that Pansy was to marry money. How could it be otherwise, with her prettiness, her popularity and all the smart clothes that Ma had copied so laboriously from fashion books? Ma Perkins was hanging out the Monday wash, when Mrs. Malley leaned confidentially across the rail- ing of her back piazza. “What do you make of it, Mrs. Perkins?” “Make of what?’’ asked Ma. “Your Pansy and my Billie.” “What about Pansy?’ It was too absurd to couple the names togeth- er. “Don’t tell me you ain’t on to it. Sure they're together ’most every minute since Billy came back from SHORT SHORT STORY Complete in This Issue Boston. To give your daughter her full deservin’s, I will say that she’s the first girl that ever turned my Billie’s head. Sometimes I've given up hopes of ever being a grand- mother.” Mrs. Perkins stiffened, and two bright spots glowed on her thin cheeks. “You've been having pipe dreams, Mrs. Malley. It's just the nice way Pansy has with every- one. Being as you opened the sub- ject, I don’t mind saying that I think she shows some favor to that young Gladstone. You know his fa- ther—the big steel man.” “Yes, I know his people, and a sporty bunch they are—his father married a girl from the chorus. If I had a daughter, Mrs. Perkins, I'd be doing my best to keep her away from Gladstone and his like. They ain't fit company for any young girl.” “Sour grapes!” muttered Ma Perkins as she gathered up her pins and clothes basket and disappeared quickly through the screen door. Ma gave scant thought to Mrs. Malley’s implication about young Gladstone. What worried her was the absurdity of coupling Pansy’s name with her Billie's. However, that night the red roadster was parked before the door and ma's heart sang to the accompaniment of the sewing machine. She amused herself picturing the befitting bridal gown for the daughter-in-law of Gladstone, the big steel man. It was Pansy herself who broke the news. She came in earlier than usual one night and Ma hastened to put on the kettle. “Pansy dear, you just missed young Gladstone. He called five minutes after you left.” “Say, can him next time, Ma. I'm through with that bunch fo¥y good.” Ma Perkins was staggered. “What do you mean—through?”’ “I know you'll be glad, Ma. I've decided to cut out that bunch of drunks for ever. I'm going to mar- ry Billie Malley the last of the month.” “But, Pansy—young Gladstone— think what you'd have.” Pansy laughed. ‘Say, Ma, you wouldn't want me to marry that souse, would you? They're sending him to a ranch somewhere—he’s a wreck from bad booze. Billie is so different from that wise gang. Hon- est, Ma, he’s a dear.” Ma Perkins rose slowly. ‘I'm tired, Pansy. You can boil your own cocoa. I'm going to bed.” It was a hard blow for ma, but she was a game loser. Next morn- ing she stretched a friendly hand across the back piazza. “Pansy told me the news last night. I hope you'll forgive the way I spoke that day, but it’s hard to give your daughter to anybody's son.” Mrs. Malley was anxious to con- ciliate. “Sure I know how it is, Mrs. Perkins. Ain't I a mother myself?” . . Old-Fashioned Remedies Favored by the Japanese The Japanese boast of the most fantastic medicines, and the country | folk go in for ‘‘cures’ which, to a European, would seem a good deal worse than the disease, notes a writ- er in Pearson's London Weekly. A widely-used cure for fever cen- | sists of placing a poultice of earth- | worms on the patient’s stomach, be- | cause Japanese believe that this | will draw the fever out. Anyone. suffering from a sty or | , other eye trouble is advised to lie | down and sprinkle salt on the stom- | ach. Burned clay, raked out of old cooking stoves, is another cure-all. | Eaten slowly, it is supposed to ban- | ish any kind of sickness. The effects of eating too many oysters are supposed to be removed | by eating powdered oyster shell, and this cure is also widely used for in- digestion and similar ailments. Heartburn—not the indigestion kind, | but that which comes from blighted affections—can be soothed by eat- ing a few toads. But the most widely-used treat- | ment consists of sticking pins into | According to the |! one’s anatomy. Japanese way of thinking, there are more than 300 different parts of the body into which a pin can be stuck, each part being the location of a dif- ferent disease. Babies, however, are not consid- ered strong enough to withstand these cures, so the Japanese mother deceives the germs of disease by hanging a notice outside the house informing all germs that the baby is not at home. Silver Whitest of Precious Metlals Silver is the whitest of precious metals. It is susceptible of a lus- trous polish and has excellent work- ing qualities. In its pure state it is to soft for uses wherein it is subject to wear; so it is usually al- loyed with copper. The terms ‘“‘ster- ling silver” and ‘‘coin silver’ indi- cate alloy proportions. Sterling sil- ver is alloyed in proportions of 925 parts pure silver to 75 parts copper. Coin silver contains 900 parts pure silver to 100 parts copper—this is the standard for United States coin- age.

Ap- proximately $500,000 have been in- ( vestad in this undertaking. | Sharks, giant rays, porpoises, octo- | seals, barracudas and other large and small creatures of the sea | are now being assembled by Marine Studios in these tanks, shown in the artist's visualization above, so that when they are opened late in Feb- ruary natural ocean conditions will be reproduced for the average visitor and the scientist to study and photo- graph marine life just as it is found in the open ocean. Motion picture technicians, to fa- cilitate taking underwater pictures, recommended the design of the aqua- riums, necessary to afford the greatest lati- tude in filming scenes. More than 200 portholes have been built into the walls of the tanks at different levels. Requiring about 784,000 gallons of water, these aquariums can be filled in 3 hours and 38 minutes or at a rate of 3,600 gallons per minute. Every day more than 5,000,000 gallons of salt water will flow through them, thus changing the water completely six times every twenty-four hours. 2 1:35 Hartranft, I 1 3 Aument, 9 0 0 Bard. 1 ¢ 2 Dunwoody, 0 0-0 Urleh, 0 ¢ D Qartranlt, e......:.... gO q 0 Buckwaiter, g............ a 6 9 D.

The Low Down From Hickory Grove By 1ZZY WISE I been readin’ where a young feller who is 17, let his car get away from him, and busted a hy- drant, and it took 2 crew of men to shut off the geyser, and it was at 4 A. M. And with this 17 year old gosl- {ing was a girl, 15. And some people will condemn the 17 and 15 year olds, but they are barkin’ up the wrong tree. And the ones mostly to blame, it is the two moms and the two pops of these youngsters who were out at 4 A. M. And if this foursome does not see that their off-spring is home giving the various angles j efore sun-up, they could use a guardian too, and were maybe out ’ti] three-thirty themselves.
