Representative Young, Of North Da-
kota, went to speak In q small town In
his State a year or so ago, and some
thing was wrong with the lights in the
little meeting house. A man living In
the neighborhood provided big lantern
with reflector back of II, and that was
the only illumination in the entire build
ing. When Young was about half way
through his speech, the proprietor OF
the lantern suddenly took down his light
off its hook and stalked out with II,
leaving the meeting in darkness, and
putting an abrupt end TO what would
have been thoroughly Illuminating
talk. ...
The reason was simply this Young
had said something with which the lam
tern owner was not in thorough accord.
Shortly before Dr. Constantin Dumbs,
the Austrian comedian, was sent back
home. a bunch of New York newspaper
men called to see him and found him in
peevish mood. .s
Go on away" said he. Go AWAY
But listen, old man." suggested one
reporter. Aren't you the one who Is
to so away?'
On the day that the McLemore reso-
luton TO keep Americans or armed ships
was up for consideration In the House,
Congressman Jimmy Gallivan made a
speech in which he said some rough
things about the so-calIed author of the
resolution, declaring in substance that
McLemore didn't know what II was all
about, but was enjoying a little feetinG
noto:iety. The funny thing was, by the
way. that while the House and the whole
country was more or less worked up
about the outcome of the vote, scarcely
any Of the House members even knew
what McLemoIs looked like. Friends OF
McLemore went to him and urged him
to reply to Gallivan and not let a fellow
from Boston get away with such big
talk.
Presently McLemore arose to make a
speech, and Gallivan resigned himself to
being handled in a way that would
shrivel him up like dried beef
But McLemore's speech was as fol-
lows:
II am very glad of this opportunity
to meet the members"
That was practically all he said.
The next day, however. GalliYan was
startled to see McLemore come walking
into his Office. Knowing that McI.emore
was from Texas. where men shoot some
times on slight provocation, Gallivan
couldn't help wondering II the visitor
carried a gun. and IL so, how large a
gun 1t was-also Il the man intended to
use it.
McLemore looked him straight in the
eye and these words he did say:
Pardon me, sir, but may l use your
telephone?'
And that's all there was to that.
Pat Harrison. handsome young Con-
gresham from Mississippi and member
of the House Committee on Foreign Az
fairs, started up Pennsylvania avenue
from the Capitol one evening In a much
worried state of mind. His committee
had just been dealing with a grave in
ternational problem, but that was not
what worried our hero. He was troubled
because he had suddenly realized that
he was being Swallowed. No matter how
fast he walked, a stranger followed about
two rods behind him. He turned up a

about it
"Oh. l don't hold it against you at ALL -
laughed Norton. Still. hate to have Il
in my memory that ! ran away from
you. II you don't mind would like 10
sort Of get square with myself"
I'm afraid l don't quite get you, Pat"
simply this: I'll never feel right
about it till I've given you a good lick
ing I'm sorry. but I've decided that's
the only way to fix il up"
But Pat, you can't lick me-" remon-
strated the man. I'm bigger than you
are"
Il know. but I feel as IL I'd like to
try" said Pat. amiably. and he began
to take of his coat.
For about twenty minutes they fought,
and when they got through Norton had
whipped the eternal dayliGhts out Of his
man.
But Norton felt better than he had felt
for years.
Meyer London. the Socialist Congress
man, says he throws about half OF his
mail in the waste basket unansweredS

Astrology shows this to be an unfortu-
nate day, for Uranus, Venus, the Sun
and Saturn are all unfriendly.
1t is a particularly unlucky day for
lovers and for those who seek romance,
the planets making for deception, jeal

Women should be exceedingly crcum-
spect while this rule prevails. The sway
is held to increase vanity and desire for
fattery. Scandals multiply under this
sway and persons of prominence will be-

esteem will suffer. the seers declare.
Religious organizations come into
reign of discomfort, and ministers may
expect serious problems. SChisms and
defections in churches East and West
are foreshadowed.
The conjunction of Saturn and Mars
on the horoscope of the Pope is read as

On this day danger from colds and

to be increased. The aged should be
especially careful.
The death of a world famous author is
prognOsticated and many statesmen past

1t is prophesied that an English actor

is also the indication of jealousies and
even litigation.
The King of Spain comes under a most
sinister influence toward the end of this

discomfort are foreshadowed.

Animal Dentistry Latest.

I'm order that the teeth of domestic
pets may be given proper attention, a
dental department has of late been es-
tablished in the Angel Memorial Hos
pital, a Boston institution for the medi-
cal and surgical treatment of dumb ami
mails" says the April Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Dogs, cats, and other ami
mails are cared for by experienced prac-
titioners who work upon them with al
most as much care as II they were hui
man. Even to many admirers of dogs,
the thought of giving attention to an
animals teeth may possibly seem odd
Yet the Importance of doing so is very
apparent to anyone who realizes the
close connection between good teeth and
good health. So far the dental work has
been confined chiefly to cleaning teeth,
treating infected gums, and extracting,
now and then, decayed tooth. The de-
partment. however, is well equipped with
instruments, and it Is understood that
other work win also be undertaken"

waited.
The stranger came right toward him,

When Congressman Bill Gordon, OF
Ohio, was prosecuting attorney in his ma

One day Gordon had convicted a man
on charge Of manslaughter. The judge
gave him twenty years in the peniten-
tiary Whereupon the prisoner leaped to
his feet and shouted
''I'll fix you when I get OUT"
81 thought OF that in passing sentence, "

HOT lunch FOR
SCHOOLS urged
Uncle Sam S Experts Recon-
mend Soups, Cocoa and
Cooked Fruits for Pupils.
PLAN is NOW In FORCE

In the belief that hot dish at noon,
II only bowl of milk soup or a cup OF
good cocoa. is highly important to school
children, many schools throughout the
country are either supplying a regular
hot luncheon to school children, or are
providing single hot dish which the
children coming from a distance can
supplement the cold food in their lunch
baskets.
In most cases the children bring money
with them and buy the dishes at cost
price. Those in charge of the lunch
room see to 1t that nothing Is for sale
that would be hurtful to the children,
and direct them In their purchases so
that they will not buy merely sweets or
pastry. This overcomes the danger of
the child spending his money unwisely
or patronizing an insanitary shop
To assist schools wishing to undertake
this desirable activity, either Through
teachers or groups of cooperating moth
ers, the home economics specialists OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, in Farmers Bulletin No. ~
suggests the following economical and
easily-prepared bills of fare for the
school lunch:
l-Vegetable-milk soup, crackers. rolls,
fruit. plain cake.
Meat and vegetable stew, bread and
butter, sweet chocolate
3-Boiled custard, lettuce sandwiches
fruit. cookies.
-Dried Goldfish chowder, crackers,
fruit. maple sugar sandwiches.
bean soup, crackers, baked apples.
sponge cake.
cocoa, cooked fruits, berries and liquid
or other foods which il is difficult to
carry in baskets. Almost any school by
the use of paper cups can make good
milk available to children at noon The
school can also place on sale good, simple
cookies, zwieback or crackers supplied
from the outside,
As the serving Of an entire luncheon
calls for considera bic equipment and dish
washing. many country schools will find
it easier to supply simply one hot dish,
a cup OF cocoa or glass of good milk.
The milk could easily be provided through
arrangements with parents or nearby
farmers, and--is particularly useful to
children In warm weather when It is i'm
practicable for them to bring bottles of
milk in their baskets.
In a number of city schools the pupils
are provided with trays and help them
selves to foods placed on a counter. At
the end of tho meal they return the trays
and dishes and thus reduce the amount
OF help required In some large cities a
trained supervisor Is employed to regu-
late all the public school lunchrooms. In
other schools the preparation of lunch
Is made a practical exercise for classes
in cooking and domestic science.
1t is in the small country schools with
only one teacher, however. that the mid
day meal presents the most difficult prob
lens. Only a teacher with ingenuity and
enthusiasm for her work can carry out
the plan. and even with such a teacher
the active corporation of parents Is
highly important.
