THE BABY TURTLE.

A0 Has to Paddle :. His Own Canoe From the Moment of Birth.
 Just so soon as baby turtle emerges from the egg of he scuttles down to the sea. He has no one to teach him, ! no one IO guide him. In his curious little brain there is implanted a streak of caution based upon the fact that until a certain period in his life his armor is soft and no defense against hungry fish, and he at once seeks sheI- ter in the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within its branching fronds an astonishing abun- dance of marine life. Here the young turtle feeds unmolested while his ar nor undergoes the hardening process.
 Whatever the young sea turtle eats and wherever he eats it, facts not gen erally ascertained, one thing is certain 1t agrees with him immensely. He leads pleasant sort of life, basking in the tropical sun and cruising leisurely in the cool depths.
 Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds. which usually oc- CUTS within the first year, the turtle is free from all danger. After that no fish or mammal. however ravenous, how ever well armed with teeth, interferes with the turtle.
 When once he has withdrawn his head from it's position of outlook into the folds of his neck between the two shells intending devourers may strug- gle in vain to make an impression upon n.him.-Harper's Weekly.

Tombs of Abelard and HeIoise,

Of the hundreds of thousands who make pilgrimage to Pere Lachaise on All Saints day few doubt the au- thenticity of the most famous tombs. One in particular is never questioned that of Heloise and Abelard, the story of whose unhappy love is so grandly told by Pope. This monu- ment is the work of Alexander Lenoin, the sculptor. and dates toward the end of the revolution. The tomb was built by Lenoin with fragments of a chapel of the convent of the Paraclete at Nogent-sur-M Marne. of which Heloise was the abbess. Lenoin managed to bring some glass from the windows of the old chapel, and two medallions which adorn the tomb the sculptor purchased from religious house in Paris. This is all that is genuine about the tomb.-London Globe.

Hazing.

HaZing is an indefnate and inexplica- ble something. When we are called be- fore the faculty we deny the existence of the word. We call it gentle horse play. Nevertheless hazing. whatever it Is, fills its place in mans life The won- derful state of sophomorehood would be lost if not for it. What would be- come of our great Military academy at West Point if it were not for hazing?
 There are three great periods of haz- ing in mans life first the green ap- pie period. then the college period and finally the married period. which, we are told. is one continuous round of hazing on both sides.
 Hazing is an educational and desira- ble experience for those wishing to be- come shareholders. superintendents of gangs. divorce seekers and fathers of large families.
 What is the greatest press agent of this age? HaZing. Look at the free advertising different colleges receive every year.
 Hazing is also very helpful to those wishing to test the strength of base ball clubs. fence pickets and bricks Rutgers Targum.

 "A detective" he would say, should know the habits of every class. Then no disguise can deceive him. All men, even the most unmethodical, have their habits. Even the tramp has his. "'You great big lazy loafer,' I said to tramp one December day, you ought to be in jailv Yes, Algie,' the tramp replied as he pretended to fix a monocle in his eye.

Father corbv,s Elan

In connection with the movement to
raise memorial to Father Corby, on
the very spot where he gave general
absolution to the members of the
Irish brigade just before they rushed
to the relief of Gen. Sickles, at Gettys-
burg, 1t is noteworthy that the flag
of this brigade, borne in so many
hard Fought battles of the civil war,
is treasured possession of the Uni
versity of Notre Dame. 1t was pre-
sented to the G. A. R. Post, composed
of priests and brothers, founded by
Father Corby few years before his
death, the surviving veterans of the
brigade declaring that this precious
relic should be preserved where lived
the old chaplain who had loved and
long minlstered to the men that had
fought beneath its folds.

SPENDING MONEY TO MAKE MONEY
Lessons From the Actual Experien-
ceS OF Successful Business Men.

Lack of faith in the powers of adver-
tising is as much to blame for the poor
showing Of the average small retailer as
anything else. Even where liberal adj
vertising is done it betrays lack of log
ical preparation and execution. This
is where the big retailer shines. The
shrewd fashion in which he directs his
newspaper campaigns is worthy Of
careful study. An advertisement in
serted in a New York paper sometime
ago for its own benefit placed the
amount Of dry goods advertising car
ried in its columns during single
month at 1922 lines. Its nearest
New York competitor was credited
with l07, 1927 lines, while the third pa
per in rank in respect to the volume of
dry goods advertising carried was Gre
dited with 66,0S3 lines. All told, these
three New York papers carried in one
month total volume of 296,50 lines
of dry goods advertising. If paid for
at an average rate of, say, fifty cents a
line, the dry goods advertising in these
three papers for this one month in
question would represent an expendi-
ture of $l4s, so.
Many stores do not spend more than
one per cent for publicity work. One
house, in town of 5000, doing bust
ness of about $50, 900 annually, holds its
advertising expenditures down to 500.
This, we might say, is inadequate. An
appropriation of $1,000 or $1,000 should
not under normal conditions be excess
sive for a town of 5000. True, an I'M
changing population of from 5000 to
10000 cannot profitably be worked too
aggressively, yet there are many legiti-
mate promotion ideas which the public
in small towns take to kindly, and they
can be put into execution at cost of
not more than three to five percent of
the total sales.
A good advertisement can't be
slapped together in few moments by
one who is guessing at what he is do
ing. The reason SO much advertising
is not successful is that it is prepared in
a slap-dash and shiftless way by one
who has not studied his subject. AS
the advertising is one of the most i'm
portant tasks in the store, the merchant
should look after it himself-and give
it the time and attention it requires.
The president of million dollar cor
poration says that he can hire mon to
do his buying, to look after the cash
and the details, but that he can find
no one who can look after the advertis-
ing to his satisfaction, and he considers
this side of the business his most i'm
portant work And the fact that he
has succeeded SO splendidly justifies
the contention Saturday Evening
Post.
