HOW NOISE BREAKS WINDOW
Sound Waves in the Air Have Only to
Be Powerful Enough to Get
Results.

Noise is an irregular wave in the air
which is real thing, and has weight
and power, remember Z wave of air
may break a window exactly as the
wave in the sea will break a break
water, though, rs the name tells us,
the breakwater will break the wave,
as long as that wave is not too strong.
If you will think a minute you will
see that every time a noise gets
through a shut window it shakes the
window. If the noise is coming in
from the street the air outside is
thrown into waves which pass through
it until they strike the window, and
shake it; then the window shakes the
air inside the room in exactly the
same way as the air outside shook it,
only perhaps not quite SO strongly.
And SO the noise reaches you, just as
if you had heard it outside, only not
quite SO loud. Well, plainly, the noise
has only to be loud enough-that is to
say, the waves in the air have only to
be big enough-to shake the window
more than it can stand, and then it
breaks.

VALUE IN EFFICIENCY CHART.
Enables Worker to Ascertain Just
What Is Worth of Work That He
Is Doing

One way to increase your value is to
find out exactly where you stand, and
just how much of your possible best
you are attaining
Businesses are examined carefully,
charts and measurements, averages
and possibilities, all are used and tab
ulated. according to a writer in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch business man
of any real sense wants to know
whether he is getting the best re-
turn for what he is putting into his
business Sometimes he calls in an
expert to help him find out, sometimes
he works it out himself.
The same idea applied to yourself
will prove distinctly worth while.
Make out a chart, divided into three
portions horizontally, and these again
many sections as required. At the left
write on the margin, for the top strip.
What Is Asked of Me. For the second
horizontal division write What 1 Do.
For the lowest, write What L Might
Do.
q er the top of the sheet write the
headings for the various subdivisions,
which must differ according to your
job. Suppose we put Promptness,
Manners, Quickness, Neatness, Intelli-
gence, Thoroughness. Cheerfulness,
Amount of Work Done, New Ideas, mi
tiative, down as suggestions. In the
lowest row write under each heading
what your ideal accomplishment
would be. On top, what you must do
to make good at the job, and to stand
a chance of rising. In the middle what
you actually do, and be strictly honest
with yourself in filling this out
Call it your efficiency chart, and
keep it for a month. If you do that,
you are pretty sure to go on keeping
it. 1t will help you to find out about
yourself, it will urge you to improve,
and it will interest you to see how you
do improve. l think you will very soon
decide that time spent on such chart
is not wasted.

Ernest and Charles Turner, who

they arrived.
Here is problem for class in ag-

rows of corn across one quarter Sec
ton of land and it made 81 bushels;
how much will it make to the acre?
Corn husking is the order of the
day on the river. If a stranger
should happen along about daylight
he would think German army was
coming but it is nothing but the corn
hitting the dump boards on frosty
morning.
One of our farmers was in town
and he saw a man who thought could
shuck corn, and he asked him if he
wanted job. The fellow said, ''yes

Care of Bronzes.

Genuine bronzes must never be
washed with soap and water. Occa-
sionally they may be washed with
pure beer, but it should be done very
rarely. 1t is sufficient to dust them
regularly with the aid of a soft brush
and soft chamois leather.
Steel things also require daily dust
ing if they are to be kept bright. and
it is essential not to let them become
wet, since dampness is very difficult
to remove Once a week steel orna-
ments should be polished with fine en-
cry paper and then given a final rub
up with powdered brick dust and a
soft buster or leather Once in three
weeks a paste made of emery powder
and paraffin oil may be advantageous
ly used in place of the dry emery
powder.

Scents and perfumes are adapted to

The petite blonde woman should use
a different scent from the brunette;
the languid, sensuous beauty should
indulge in perfumes forbidden to the

lively temperament Blue and brown
eyed women should use different
scents Even the various rooms of a

The Frenchman op- ened hostilities with quick -firer. The German observer replied. usin his car- pine freely. Suddenly a jet of white smoke gushed from the German ma : chine and an instant later flames en- veloped the whole aeroplane. The Ger mans tried to escape. but soon dropped to earth.

conditional contraband and foodstnffs ot the civilian population of the beliiS- erent had been made before by Ger many in diplomatic notes. this being cited by German foreign office as one of the reasons for proclaiming a sub marine war zone of the waters sur rounding Great Britain and Ireland. The United States denied in it's reply then that il had been silent on the question and called attention to it's dip- lomatic notes to Great Britain dealing with these subjects.
 It is understood the reply to the present complaint will deny vigorously that this government has acquiesced in any way to the order in council and probably will refer to the last note sent by the United States to Great Britain arguing at length it's opposition to the viewpoint of the allies on the blockade question.
