About the Sandwich

Did you know that our common
ordinary sandwiches, that every
body knows how to make nowadays,
were first invented and made only
by the mobiles Of England? In fact
the name itself comes from the
Ea'2 of Sandwich who started the
fad when one day he was so inter
eSted in game that he asked the
servant to bring him two slices of
well buttered bread with roast beef
between them instead of stopping
for lunch, and it proved so conven-
lent that all his friends at the Club
copied him. laughing about their
"1mdwiched" bite.

Interesting Things In Rochester

Rochester has some of the most
interesting things for children you
ever saw. One big thing is Lake
Ontario where all the children can
go any time they want to and play
in the lovely white sand or wade
in the shallow water along the
beach, or even go out where it is
deeper and swim. They have logs
half buried in the sand and going
way out into the water so you can
sit on them and dangle your feet
and legs in the water. But one day
a little girl who had her shoes and
stockings on was walking out on
the log and she dropped little red
bucket in the water, and before she
could get it, it had floated way out
into the lake so that little boy
who was in swimming had to go out
after it and bring it back to the
poor little girl. Then you see sail
boats and big dredges and light
houses and sometimes big steamers
that have deep growing fog horns
on them. But one of the things the
little Rochester children like best
around the lake is the slippery
slide" that starts from high plat

head which throws out light and
the sides of its body are covered
with spots which radiate light. The
fish is one of the most remarkable
on display in the museum.

Cyanocitta cristata

You never have any trouble dis
tinguishing this big, bossy bird
from our gentle little blue bird, do
you? They are as different as any
two birds ever could be. The blue
jay is even larger than a robin and
has a great deal of white and black
mixed in with the blue, as well as a
striking crest standing up on the
top Of his head. Instead of being
nice and lOvable like the blue birds
who have become the symbol of
happiness to US, these DULLES in
birdland are forever robbing other
birds Of their eggs and nests, and
even the food out of their mouths.
Their notes are usually harsh and
shrill, especially when there is
fight anywhere around, but some
times when the blue jay is flying
under perfectly clear sky and all
the world is in peace and at rest
you can hear his one lovely call
floating back TO you from the hea-
vens, "Pick-alily, pick-a-lily, pick-a-
lily" and it makes you think that
maybe after all even a blue jay
loves beautiful things.

LOOKS FOR MACHINERY
TO LOWER COST OF LIVING
Secretary Redfeld Says Improve

and Cause Gradual Decrease.

improvements in machinery promot-

will result he says
Through machinery improvements
larger quantities can be manufactured
without any material Increase In cost,
Glr. Redfield finds, and as result,
though immediate fall in prices should
ret be looked for. there viii be grad
ual reduction, within a reasonable
time.
THE situation reminds me- Mr.. Red
field explained, of a certain mountain

the summit. Instead of finding a de-
scent starting Immediately, you find a
wide tableland which goes along prac-

lance But finally the descent begins.
1T should be understood that the
price of each particular article, wheth-
er food or other material, is governed
by its own peculiar conditions. While
the summit has been reached on all the
articles, l think, the drop in prices Will
be more rapid with some than with
others.
There is a general tendency, I find,
among the manufacturers OF the coun-
try to install methods Of greater eff
cheney, which. of course. tends to pro-
duce more. With greater production,
therefore. it must follow naturally that
there will be a reduction in cost
