Dainty Mustache
 Hubby's s Undoing

If Edward Rochette were in Ger many and could live down the Frenchiness of his name, his spiral pointed, perfumed, carefully nursed mustache might win him high mili- tary rank, says a Chicago newspa- per.
 Rochette, who because of his American residence is a plain-and fancy-salesma toyed with his hir sute pet in the Stock Yards court while his wife was telling Judep Mahoney of her domestic troubles.
 ''I have a rooming house at 3339 Indiana avenue" she said. When my first husband died I inherited little money Then Rochette per suaded me to marry him. Now he beats me when 1 don't give him enough money to spend on drink"
 Judge Mahoney had been gazing fiXedly at Rochette fondly caressing the upholstered upper lip.
 'I do not doubt your story, ma dam," he said. Beware of the man who has pointed mustache and keeps curling it-that's my motto. And you, Rochette, you are not worth powder enough to blow you to-to- pieces! You are fined s100 and costs"

Man Makes Living
 With a Worm Farm

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich-One thou sand dollars a year from worms,
 This is the record of w. Orton Moon whose worm farm in East Grand Rapids is one of the curosi- ties of Michigan. In fact, S1,0O0 a year is the result of only an aver age crop" Sometimes Moon makes more money. He sells his angle dozen, and during the fishing season the demand is always in excess of the supply.
 Moons farm consists chiefly of twenty pails, pots, pans and old rocks, and is situated at the rear of his home near the barn. Each field" supports from fifty to 800 worms in various stages of growth From early spring until late in the fall Moon goes to the farm twice daily. With a long-handled spoon he mixes quantity of coffee grounds and cornmeal with the earth in every field. The worms assimilate the feed and become healthy.
 Moon learned to be an angleworm farmer while homesteading and pros pecting in the Big Horn basin in Wyoming. He was in a little will lage known as Meeteetse, which was surrounded by camps of Crow, Chey- enne and Shoshone Indians One day he strayed into a Shoshone camp. A big buck Indian was squatted in front of the lapel of his tepee, busily engaged in following out a log of wood, Being inquisitive as to the nature of the bucks labor. which with the Shoshone is very unusual Moon asked for an explana- tion.
 The Indian did not answer, but with series of mods and grunts the rear of the camp. There under the spreading branches of huge tree were twenty-five logs, all similar to the one on which he was working.
 Each one was plugged at the ends and had an opening in the top. Through the opening in one the redskin thrust his hand. and when he withdrew it it was filled with a mass of writhing, wriggling angle worms.
 Heap fine" he announced guttur- ally. Heap good Catch 'em lots big fish"
 Then he explained the method of feeding and rearing. The idea struck Moon forcibly, and it was not long after his return home that he, as we'll as all the other male inhabi tarts of Meeteetse. supported angle worm logs at the rear of their sacks.
 When he gave up prospecting and returned East be brought the formu- Ia with him and has since used it to profitable end

WASTE INCREASES
 COST OF LIVING

ATLANTIC CITY.-"We, as Ameri- cans. do not know how to cook fish" This was the blunt truth un- loaded by a woman upon the 200 delegates at the final session of the Oyster Growers and Dealers asso- citation of America. She was Dr.
 Mary E. Pennington, chief of the Research laboratory of the United States department of agriculture Coming from woman it won atten- tion that increased as the speaker supplemented her first declaration with the assertion that the ray, or skate" is really one of the most delicious of foods when fried in butter"
 She then told her hearers that Dr. Altsberg, who succeeded Dr. Wiley as chief of the bureau, was enthus- iastic in his support of research into the fish industry, that it was really his first love" She announced that the" s15,oO0 appropriation for the work, now contained in bill pending in congress, was but a drop in the bucket of the amount she soon ex- pected to see devoted each year by the federal government to studying the distribution of marine foods "It will only be question of time when the budget contributed by the gov ernment to our bureau for the expert ments into the best methods. from all standpoints. into the handling of the marine products from the time they are caught until they are eaten by the consumer, will be one of the heavist on the list" Dr Pennington predicted.
 "The United States now leads all nations in the consumption of meat. Per capita We consume 160 pounds annually, justy thirty pounds more than England our nearest competi- tor. The nations of Europe long ago realized that the lands devoted to the raising of cattle would be needed for something else. and re- cognized that the sea should supply the substitute in foods.
 We growl about the high cost of living. Here is one of the reasons: We fail to realize, what Europe re- cognized centuries ago. that the ma rine products furnished tre solution of the problem. It is up to you, with our assistance, to drive this truth home" the speaker informed the convention The state governments. because of their limited jurisdiction by reason of their boundaries could not handle the problem of safeguard ing the public health, through ad- ministration of the industry with the thorOughness of the federal govern ment, she said, and the latter was now working on the constructive" idea-how to produce better uual- ity, minimum waste, solve the ques- tion of maintaining the fish. shell and otherwise. in the same state of freedom from bacterial growth from the time it is caught or tonged until it reaches the consumer

The per cent of female including last years bearing lawns. is seventy-two per cent.
