THE KINGSLEY MYSTERY
Weeks Disappearance Of Whiting
ham Man UnsolVed.

Unless an inquest is held to deter
mine the facts relative TO the disap-
pesrance of Arthur Kingsley of Whit
ingham. who left home with Carl
Perry Thursday. Oct 30, and was
away until Thursday morning of last
week, the officers who have been in
vestigatlng the mystery feel that
there Is nothing more that they can
do. The matter has been brought 10
tho attention OF Attorney General
Rufus r.. Brown of Burlington and
Il is not unlikely that he will take
up the matter officially.
Deputy Sheriff Frank L. Wellman
OF Guilford and Deputy Sheriff Earl
Davis OF Newfanc returned to Brat
tleboro Saturday night, having spent
two more days in an effort to deter
mine Kingsleys whereabouts during
his weeks absence, and they ar,
convinced that there are some places
In Resdsboro that need to be cleaned
out. They were assisted in the
search by Deputy Sheriff Walter
Howe OF Wilmington.
Kingsley. whom it is believed was
assisted home and who at that time
the physicians declare was under the
Influence OF some kind of dope. is
nov able to converse freely. but he
is either unwilling or unable to give
any information as TO where he
went or what he did or what was
done to him during his absence.
When he left home he was without
underclothing but when he returned
he wore undcrgarments. The ofic-
e-s have learned who bought the
underclothcs and where they were

Dead Air In the Lungs.

With ordinary breathing the lungs are
not completely filled with air. nor are
they entirely emptied every time you ex-
hale during natural respiration. This
leaves a quantity OF dead air in the lungs,
generally away down in the lower lobes.
This is called residual" air, and after it
stays there awhile and becomes foul ma
ture casts about for some means to make
you get rid OF it. The yawn is the thing,
so nature makes you yawn. You open
your mouth TO its fullest, throw back
your head, strain with the back muscles
OF the jaw, and you can then feel your
lungs move as they force out all the foul
air and take in fresh. In this manner are
the lungs actually ventilated.
Yawning also ventilates the air pass
ages in the mouth, throat and upper por-
ton Of the chest leading to the lungs.
And again the lungs are an aid to hear
ing.
The cracking sound which you so Of
ten hear when giving an extra big yawn
is due TO the stretching and opening Of
the eiistachian tubes. These tubes COM
municate between the ears and the back
Of the throat. II they are congested,
which happens when you have a bad
cold in the head, people complain Of
deafness.
II you feel inclined TO yawn then DO so.
II IS natures way Of cleaning out your
lungs and air passages.

Play OF Tho RIueiay.

The blueiay likes best TO live in thick
woods, but il often comes into the open
fields, orchards and near dwellings in
search Of food. When il discovers you
if assumes proud and angry air OF def
ance and conceit.
The bluejay'S upper parts are purplish
blue. The lower parts are purpliSh gray.
The wings and tail are bright blue with
black bars. The tail feathers are tipped
with white. II has a crested head.
The bluejay builds its nest about twen-
ty feet above ground. 1t is made Of
twigs and fine roots. From four TO six
eggs are laid. These are of a greenish
drab color flecked with brown.
Doubtless the bluejay has named itself.
as its common utterance is long drawn
"iay, jay, jay" This cry, with the
bright blue colors, has given its name.
While the jay sings no song, il is able
to initiate the calls of other birds, by
which means it often attracts them. II
likes TO tease and torment the owl and
especially the little sparrow hawks.
This is done by initiating the cry OF
wounded bird, which draws the hawk
near. Then several jays dart at the
hawk, squealing and froIicking about in
great glee. Sometimes the play ends in
a tragedy, for the hawk pounces upon
one of them to the dismay OF the others.
Jays may be Gagged and tanned like crows,
and some writers say that they can be
taught to utter words.-From Bird Stud

When We Criticize.

No one who habitually points out 9th
ers' failures can be success. There IS
something about the habit OF criticism
that prevents the free, full expression OF
good in the life of the critic. 1t has been
said, for example, that professional lit
erary critics never turn out any good lit
erature. Their habitual attitude OF crlti-
cism dries up the sources OF literary pro-
duction." Whether this sweeping state
ment is true in every case or not, it sug-
gests a word of warning that most OF us
need TO think about. To be habitually
interested in seeing and speaking about
the failures of others is to dry up our own
powers of good. And the reverse is
equally true; to be senSitively conscious
of the, good that is in others. to discover
il and talk about it freely, is to bring good
into being in our lives that otherwise
might never have come into existence.
How much better it is to discover that
which makes for life than that which
makes for death

Sometimes we fancy that like us they bow
Before the blow that warps so many faiths.
