Recently, at a movie show, I saw
“Alcatraz Island.” And do you know
that there were two convicts on the
Island who were such good friends
they called each other by their first
iwo members?
We have a number of very super-
stitious gals around about here. In

Jerry Sheetz was ice skating last

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

the Mater, understanding her better
half’s bragging, answered: “Is that
why he’s on relief?”

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.”

“Clayt” Newcomer says he had a
very unusual experience Monday. A

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,

Would you like to hear a very
sweet long story about a girl who
worked in the button department of

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.

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.

MINIATURE
: HE two largest aquariums ever
built and the world’s only special-
| ly designed "underwater motion pic-
| ture studios have recently been com-
{ pleted at Marineland, Florida. 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.

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.
And if there is nobody to curb
a colt, he will sure grow up to
be a wild horse, and useless—and
nothing to be proud of. But boys
and girls, they will be O. K. and
nearer 100 percent, and will think
a whole lot more of you, 10 years
from now, if you clamp down now
and then—and cut out the fancy
didos your ownself.

ARE YOU ONLY A

EN, because they are men, can

the time.
No matter how your back aches
~—how your nerves scream—don’'t
take it out on your husband.
For three gencrations one woman
has told another how to go “smil«

thus lessening the discomforts from
