LABELS PROPOSED TO
 REDUCE LIVING COST

Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.-By the simple device of labelling food products that are kept in cold storage and ship ped in interstate commerce so that concumers may know just where and how long these products art kept in storehouses prior to consunpt ton Con- gress hopes to tame the Cold Storage Trust and check high prices
 Lawyers in the House say that Der haps a simple amendment to the. pure food law might suffice Under this proposal every article of stored food would have to be labelled
 The theory of this program is that such labels would prevent articles from being kept in storehouses for a long time because consumers would refuse to buy old products and dealers wouI.. have to dispose of their stocks within a reasonable time or face deterioration in the value of their products

Ways of Carrying Money.

When mamma gives you penny to
buy bit of candy she usually either
sends you to her top bureau drawer to
get her purse or takes 1t from little
box she keeps In which to drop her
spare change. But, If your mamma
were an lmmigrant-people who come
to this country from foreign lands are
called immigrants, you know-instead
Of your own dear mamma, she would
carry her money In strange fashion.
II she were q Swede or Norwegian she
would carry it In pocketbook so big
that Ii contains enough leather to make
a pair Of shoes out.of. The Italian Inn
migrant prefers a small tin tube which
he hangs about his neck by a small
chain. and the Hungarian stuffs his
money into his long boots-along with
his knife and fork and spoon. Ger
mans keep theirs in belt strapped
around their waist nnder the clothes.

The Eye az a Camera.

The human eye ia a perfect phOtog-
rapher's camera. The retlna Is the dry
plate on which are focused all objects
by means OF the crystalline lens. The
cavity behind this lens is the shutter.
The eyelld is the drop shuttle. The
draping Of the optical darkroom is the
only black membrane In the entire
body. This miniature camera Is self
focusing, self loading and self develop
ing and takes millions Of pictures every
day In colors and enlarged to life size.
Charts have been Experimentation
charts-which go to show that the eye
has TO distinct expressions conveying
as many distinct shades Of meaning.
The power Of color perception is over
whelming. To perceive red the retina
Of the eye must receive three hundred
and ninety-f1ve million million vibra-
tons In a second; for violet 1t must re-
spond to seven hundred and ninety mil
lion million. In our waking moments
our eyes are bombarded every minute
by at least six hundred million million
vibrations.-Chicago Tribune.

rights holding the lever are three feet
long and notched on the front. The
brace which rests In the notches on
the base sill Is made long enough to
suit low down wagon when resting
In the front notch. The lever Is four
and one-half feet long. The illustra-
ton shows plainly how the wagon Is
held when once lifted. The entire de-
vice Is held together by five bolts.
In Fig. 2 8 by inch plank does for
the sill, and the uprights may be inch
boards FIVE inches wide at the bottom,
tapering to three inches at the top
The lever is adjusted to the height Of
the wagon by the holes in the uprights.
A short chain fastened to the sill Is
hooked to the staple or eye bolt in the
lever to hold 1t when desired.
Fig. 3 is about the same, but the at
tachment for holding the lever at any
point desired is an improvement on the
chain. The blacksmith can make this
from wagon tire. An inch strip Of the
same material Is fastened across the
uprights for the bar to catch on.

1t will be noticed on u foggy night
that the beam Of a searchlight seems
abruptly to come to an end II the light

II the beam be directed horizontally II
will gradually fade away into nothing.
Why should the vertical beam behave
In this curious wayf The reason Is
not far to seek. Where the end OF the
beam seems to be at just that point
does the fog end. for the beam cannot
be visible to us unless there are small
particles In Its path. This circum-
stance Is Of great assistance to sailors
In Judging the state OF the weather,
since they can determine the thickness
or depth Of the fog. They can also
tell by throwing the beam horizontally
whether the fog is Of great extent or
whether it exists only In patches. II
the fog extends a great distance then
the beam will become gradually more
and more dim. II the fog exists only
in patches. then the beam Is lighter
In patches, and IL 1t proceeds through
