Now if it had been grown man, maybe might have

POLISHING PECULIAR

MOST people consider polished surface
thing absolutely smooth; that is, something with
scratches it whatever To polish thing, however,
the very done to it. it is filled with very fine
scratches. All eyegass lenses glass for mirrors furni
tue, ETC., rubbed with fine emery paper and later
with extremely fine powder which gives the finishing
touches in the shape of very fine scratches.
Now the question arises to Just how fine the
scratches be,that how far apart they must be;
for big scratches good distance apart give anything but
polished surface. The is that the scratches
ridges between must be less than quarter the
length of the light that falls the surface for
the light to be reflected and thus give the effect of
polished surface This is less than two-hundred
thousandth of inch for light No breaking up
of the is caused and they consequently re-
fected in their original form.
1t can now be readily why liquid surface-say
mercury-s desired glass surface covered the
back with mercury. The surface of liquid has no
scratches whatever and labor is required to polish
it. DR.. Wood of Johns Hopkins recently made mer-
curry mirror for his telescope 1t had to be curved in
the parabolic form; but he wanted it made from liquid
mercury. So he fixed up arrangement by means of
which the vessel of mercury rotated uniformly round
vertical axis, thus making the surface curved in the
desired form
There other for desiring liquid mirrors over
the glass variety chief among which that glass mirror
has two rejecting surfaces, the front of the glass and
the mercury on the back which therefore gives the
observer two images instead of one, which sometimes
interfere with each other.

"Where is the darnt boy? says she, plow1n through

they could stop her she's swOoped down the crib and
has little Suly up in her arms. One look at him she
takes and then she turns on Lotta who's been on her

says she.
"Ba-bab bananas" stammers Lolita.
Bananas, is ut?" says Mother Whaley. How

4Why, only one speaks up. "You see, he didn't

And with that she turns little Suly upside down. jams
and Well, five seconds later there want any doubt
but that it was bananas had caused them means
"H-m-m-m!" says DR.. Prentiss, snappin' his instru-

\ BE A BOOSTER =

(By Homer Clark Bennett)
Do you know there's lot O people
Settin' round in every town,
GrCwlin' like a broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth;
You must be booster rooster,
Grow an boost for all you're worth
II your town needs boostin', booster:
Don't hod back and wait to see
If some other fellers willin-
Sail right in, this country's free;
No ones got a mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his,
If your town is short on boosters.
You get in the boostin' biz
s1HK
If things don't JUS seem TO sni1 you,
And the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin
Just to help the thing e ong?
Cause if things should stop a-goin',
We'd be in sorry plight
You just keep the horn a-blowin'
Booster up with all your might.
l., = s..t>yH %e@ai aWMW
If you see some Teller tryin'
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up a tTifle,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not a-goin' to knock it,
Just because it amt your Shout"
But you're goin' to boost little,
Cause he's got 'the best thing out +"
If you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em, cause you know
That some feller's got some good
points
Them's the ones you want to show
Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back" s a sayin' true
Mebbe they will come back ''buttered,"

Former Mayor of New York Who Is
 Attending Camorra Trial

Viterbo, Italy, May 16.--Enrico Al fano was again confronted by Gennaro
 Abba tema ggio, the informer, when the trial of the Camorrists for the murder of Gennaro Cuocolo and the latter's wife was resumed today He opened in
 pathetic vein. which later, under the
 prodding of his accuser gave way to angry explosions.
 Today" he began, "is the anniver-
 sary of the death of my beloved broth CT Giro, who died In prison. In the agony of death he continued to deny
 the assertion of this man Abbatemag-
 gio."
 "Alfano intended to buy my silence
 declared Abbatemaggio, to which AL
 fano replied: If I had been In a posi-
 tion to fear your revelations I would
 have given you 400 stabs instead of
 400 francs"
 At the afternoon sitting Abbatemag gio was confronted by Salvatore De
 Lucia, Luigi Fucci and Salvatore Di Sarno, all of whom denied the accusa- : tions. Fucci is alleged to have sum-
 moned tn e Camorra leaders to try Cuoc- colo and Dl Sarno and De Lucia are accused of being present at a meet 1 ing when Cuoccolo was condemned. | Di Sarno ridiculed Abbatemaggio and congratulated him on having become 1 fat since he underwent treatment by | the Carabineers.
 | Abbatema ggio later pleaded that he | had a fever and asked that the sitting | be suspended The accused laugh ed al l this, saying it was the same fever tha, | tba in fOrp1ar had when he did not wi h I to do military service. The president of
 the court. however, adjourned the sit
 ting.
 l Giovanni Bartolozzi, who is an cpl l leptic, was stricken with another at- tack just before the sitting closed. l James W. Ellsworth. a New York cap

 Life is a disipline, and so you had bet ter take time by the forelocll and be prepared. sf Q Purchase from some large dressmaking establishment one of those bulgy ladies who have neither head nor legs, known as. dummies or dress-forms. Procure an old gown of your mothers or sisters, and each morning practise fastening 1t down or up the back E
 Set it in rocking-chair so that it will, and see whether you can get the right button or hook into the right buttonhole or eye. When you can do this, say once out of four times, have the buttons changed to size just too large for the buttonholes, and begin all over again. If fairly clever at this, try a row of hooks and eyes invisible to the naked eye.
 Then substitute for the metal eyes a few loops of thread, well lost in the meshes of a jungle of lace.
 Do not use strong light, for you will often have to perform in the carly twi- light or early morning. Speed is repui- needles thrust into the gown at unex- pected points.
