CLOSED HOUSES.
How to Lock Up While Away
This Summer.
MOTHS, DUST AND THIEVES.


How to Guard Against These Ubiqui-
tous Pests While You Enjoy 5rsezss
at the Mountains and the Surf al
the Beach During Your Vacation.
There Is always danger, Of course,
that an empty house will come to grief
In the absence Of its occupants for the
summer. Thieves may break In and
steal Moths and dust may do their
worst. Fire may destroy. Rust may
eat Mice and rats may gnaw. Many
unpleasant things may happen that
will bring grief to the absent owners
and happiness, we hope, to the pests.
All we can do when leaving our
houses unoccupied is to take all the
precautions we know of. Then we
should rest peacefully content through
out the summer that nothing Is going
amiss.
Burglar insurance helps to produce
this state of peaceful content, Of course.
But it is also well not to leave jewelry,
money, silver or other easily transport
ed valuables where thief can get at
them. Still another precaution is to
leave doors and drawers unlocked
throughout the house. The would be
thief will not then be tempted to de-
stroy house and furniture while he is
seeking to open doors and drawers.
hnC hnn, r11ir1nd nv
thieves who have pried open drawers
and burst open doors in a vain search
for valuables that were securely in a
safe deposit box.
Guard against dampness as well as
possible. Leave a window at the top
of the house open. 1t should be a win
dow well sheltered by overhanging
caves if possible, so that rain cannot
beat in. 1t serves to keep the house dry
and well ventilated. Have the furnace
thoroughly cleaned out, as ashes left in
it gather dampness, which causes rust
in furnace and pipes.
In an earthen bowl near the piano
place some unslaked lime, which will
collect dampness that might otherwise
injure the piano. Let the bowl be only
quarter full, so that there will be no
danger from the lime.
Grease the gas stove and anything Of
steel that is exposed to the air. This
prevents rust.
Put kerosene on the works Of the
sewing machine to cut the grease and
dust that will accumulate on it.
Have the water pipes turned of In
the cellar, so that no water can run In
any part Of the house.
Have screening tackled over the tops
of the chimneys to keep out birds and
bats, as they could do and have done
much damage In empty houses. The
screening keeps them safely out Of the
chimneys, and so they cannot get into
the house.
Drape all valuable furniture with old
sheets and take down all expensive
hangings and curtains

Hat That Phyllis Wore.


Dear little Phyllis wore a hat
1t was a gorgeous sight;
Cornfiowers blue and roses, too,
With daisies gold and white
One day she walked a meadow wide
That was full OF clover.
Her gaudy hat the bees soon spied-
They came and lowered over.
Said one big bee: cit seems to me
Kind OF queer and funny

Anything like honey.

Confusion reigned supreme in such
homely detail as the sorting of
these children's clothes unless they
were marked with their full names.
AT school the boys were teased be-
cause Eheir initials were not a sufii-
cient Identification of them, and their
Christian names had to be revealed
in full, contrary to the usual Gus
tom 'of the school.
So far as the girls were concerned,
the fact that they were named Grace,
Gwendolyn. and Gladys, tho it was
awkward in childhood, matsered less
later when they changed fheir sur
names upon marriage.
Two Christian names aresoften use

nature in after life, which he can

sity to the lad whose surname is one

Naming The New Baby.

There are few parents who do not
give the most conscientious care to
the choice of names, for at any rate
their first and second born children,
Sometimes quite wordy war wages
over the vexed question.
II is frequently the case the eldest
son of an eldest son is given his
fathers name; and the rule holds
good almost universally that the first
born boy is named after his father.
But distinguished second name is
due to go thru life with Junior
tackled on to his surname; while in
the family circle one of two things
will happen---either the boy will
sink his real name and be called by
a pet one. or the parent will resolve
into father" Now, TO their chill

TELLS OF EVENTS

BIGGEST "BRAIN" IN AMERICA
is CALCULATING MA
CHINE.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The big
gest brain" in the United States is a
! machinel
IL is complicated affair in I'm
Gle Sans Coast and Geoge+ic Sur
vey Service that forecasts ocean tides
to fraction of an inch years before
they occur.
And this powerful brain is sub
ject to the human brain of Ernest G.
Fischer, chief of the division OF in
struments in the survey service.
II is his invention that solves, au-
tomatically, in few seconds, prob
lens that scientists could determine
only thru long calculations by higher
mathematics that take hours and
days.
Writes Answer in Record.
This machine not only solves the
problem, but writes its answers into
permanent record of times and tide
heights that anyone can understand.
Fischer spent fifteen years devel-
oping this biggest brain" IT is now
the wonder of the world. Recogniz-
ing its merits, Germany and japan
have sent experts to study it in the
hope of duplicating it for their gov
ernments.
Ask this brain" how high the tide
will be in New York harbor at 10 a.
m, June 26, 1878, and it will tell
you to the fraction of an inch. Ask
when ii will be low tide at Alden,
Arabia, on May 1S, 1928, and it will
tell you to the minute, and also just
what the depth of water will. be. It
will give you the same date for any
hour or minute of any year for the
principal ports of the world,
Any Day Or Century.
When you remember that tides,
not only are influenced by the sun
and moon and the movement of the
earth in its constantly changing re-
1ation to celestial bodies, but also by
islands and continents, by deep wa
ter and by shoals which affect the
tidal flow, and affect it differently for
each port, you can get a glimmering
idea of the wonderful work the
brain" performs.
In its computations for the tide at
any one port, the big Brain" may
take into account as many as thir-
ty-seven factors influencing the re-
suit, And yet. once it is set to the
problem, it can go ahead and draw
a continuous curve for one or two
or three years, dividing II into days
and hours, making each high and low
tide separately, and always allowing
exactly for the changing relations of
earth, sun and moon. And it can do
this for any day in any year Of any
century!
International Use Urged.
Fischer hopes an international al
lance OF nations, following the war,
will result in the making of tide rec
ords for the world ON the machine he
built.
This machine could make the
forecasts for every large harbor in
the world" he says. For each ma
tion to make separate forecasts is on
ly duplication of labor and expense
