MEMORY MAPS" ARE FREAKS
Try to Draw Outlines Of the varlove
Countries and You Will BE Sur.
prised At Your Ignorance.

A man and wife sat at the table ut
their home trying to draw the outline
map of Europe, from memory. OBJ
serves the Ohio State Journal. They
soon found that they knew little about
1t. They had been reading of European
events for years, and yet when they
came to putting their mind picture Of
the continent on paper they forgot their
geography entirely. The man had read
Anabasis and Homer in the original
and yet put Greece between the Adri.
attic and the coast Of Spain, and left
Austria out altogether. The wife had
Spain and France side by side on an
east and west line, with Belgium to the
north, covering both, while she made
the boot Of Italy fashionable SO
gaiter. Anyone looking at the two
maps could tell they we're not of
America or Asia, but Of where, he
couldn't say.
But seriously, 1t is q delightful
amusement and might with profit be in
dulged in more. After one gets through
with Europe, take the other continents
and the countries that belong to them.
And then one might come nearer home.
1t would be really sad to observe the
ignorance concerning our own locali-
ties. but it would be amusing. too. Just
for fun. have company draw maps of
Great Britain and Ireland. or Turkey,
China. Kansas and Nebraska, Louis
prised you will be to see how this old
earth had changed since you trusted
1t to your memory.

MUSIC REACHES THE HEART
Performer Dealing in Emotions Cap.
tivates Women More Swiftly Than
the Poets or Painters.

The poet deals in words, while the
painter deals in color and form, but
the musician deals in emotions and
therefore his appeal to women is al
ways more swift, as it is always more
subtle, than the appeal of any other
artist.
Such, summed DIP by a writer in the
Philadelphia North American, is the
latest theory to explain the lure of mu-
sic for women and the attraction of
the dark-eyed. long-haired musician
himself.
The average woman, say the theor-
tsts, Is hemmed In with conventions
that make her feel a prudish discom.
fo1t II q book or q poem talks too OPEN
ly Of what she thinks Of, but never
puts into words. With a picture It is
the same way, but In the music, she
hears with emotional delight all the
romanticism, all the beauty. and all
the vague dreams which she hides 10
closely from the world. In conse-
Queaee shs reads into the music her
own esaaags, and then sha confuses
the musician with his music. he, too,
10 keyed up to high tension. he feels
telepathically the emotion he has COM
municated. and 20 q spark 10 kindled
between them. A. for the result
we'll, sometimes It u love. sometimes
momentary infatuat1on-that all de-
pends upon how much music they hear
together and how much pent-up nerv.
ous emotionalism lies buried In the
woman's soul.

Find Skeleton Of Giant

A perfect sketeleton was uncovered
In Surrey. England, during the work
Of carrying out alterations to surface
water drainage In one Of the main
streets In Earnham. The chief bones
were In perfect state Of preservation.
and were sufficient to show that the
body was that Of a man Of unusual
stature. Close by was found bone
Of horse. The site of Norman celn-
etery is only little distance from the
spot where the body was found, and
here some years ago cinerary urns
were discovered, which were stated to
be perefct examples of flrst-century
urns. Some Of these are now pre-
served In Waverly abbe1.

Only II More Days to Xmas

Eleven more days are left in viii.
ch to make your Christmas select
ions. The beautiful windows displ.
aged on Dakota Avenue tempt the
eye and tend to loosen the purse
strings.
This year however, it has become
a duty as well as a necessity, to
buy where you receive the full
value of your dollars. You will
find in the ads in the Times just
what you are looking for. And shop
early for the sake of better select
ions, better store service, and 4
greater pleasure in choosing.

Officers and crews of the German
merchant vessels which were held
in the United States at the time Of
the declaration of war.
These aliens receive no funds
from the Government except COM
pensation for labor actually per,
formed. Those engaged in COIL
struction work get $40 month,
with an additional $5 to foremen.
Intelned officers have not been
permitted to receive from any
source more than $40 month and
creWmen not more than So. Re-
ceipts in excess of these amounts
are placed to the credit of the
aliens in banks.

Concentrated straw fodder and
ground grape pips are suggested
for table use in Germany. In Il
published list of new foodstuffs.
with descriptions of use, the follow
ing are also found:
Rhubarb leaves. seaweed, straw
meal. crushed and gro;t ltE maize
ears. heather stalks. ground sugar
beet seeds. parsley seed, wild
radish husks. bran, wine yeast:
beechnut cake, fish meal, and vari-
GUS mixed foods.
Attempts have recently been
made in England to establish the
use of rhubarb leaves as green's,
but it appears that such food is
dangerous. English newspapers
reported several cases of illness fol
lowing the eating of rhubarb leaf
hides.
The laboratory at the Army and
Medical School has shipped since
April l sufficient stpyhoid and
paratyphoid vaccines to inoculate
every man in the Army.
Throughout the process Of max
ing the vaccine is guarded gainst
any contamination. 1t is then
stored in sealed vessels in locked
refrigerators, to which only the
two officers in charge have keys,
and none of these vessels is ever
moved, except in company Of one
Of the officers. In more. than six
months of large-scale production
not trace of contamination has
been found.
One Of the tests Of the yaccines
includes the incubation Of a
mouse, a guinea pig and a rabbit.
If too much tricersol "a coal-tar
products) used as preservative
and to kill bacilli) had been added
the mouse would be killed. Should
tetanus germs be present both the
mouse and the guinea pig would
be killed. With the emulsion cor
rect as it must be to be used, no
animal is killed and the guinea pig
and rabbit are not visbly affected
by the incubation.

any waste or left-overs. Dry
ground grains keep sweet until every
particle is consumed.
Which system To Choose.
AS previously stated. the advan-
tages and disadvantages OF the two
systems have practically no bearing
on the question of which one the
feeder should choose. Each system
supplies the needs OF the fowls in
different ways, and the choice be
tween the two is largely matter of
conditions under which the poultry
is kept For general purposes the
writer believes that the moist sys-
tenn should be followed by poultry
keepers who have small f1ocks, in
order that every bit Of clean waste
from the kitchen may be utilized to
the best advantage. The dry mash
system is recommended for farm
hocks. large suburban hocks and
commercial poultry farms.
Feeding the Dozen Hen Flock.
In our present effort to supply the
world with food, every consumer
who becomes producer is doing
his or her share TO help win the
fight. This share" may be ever so
small for the individual, but if every
home that possibly can will keep
dozen or more hens, the aggregate
increase in poultry products for the
country Will be enormous. This is
a form OF patriotic service of vital
importance. Government officials
tell us there is an annual waste of
500. 100000 in foodstuffs in the
American home. Our problem now
is to convert this waste into eggs
and meat.
A good feeding schedule for the
dozen hen flock consists of scratch
feed morning and night and moist
mash OF table scraps and ground
grains at noon. For the morning
