Books on /. Shelf.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less in the ham
ding often than upon the shelves
Boois should not be packed tightly on
shelf. 1t ruins tie back and causes
them to tear loose with the strain of
getting in and out. Often 1t forces the
leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed
uuduly. 1t is just as bad for books to
be too loose on shelf. as they warp,
and the spreading leaves encourage
dust. A bookcase with the contents
ut every angle is not Pleasant
sight. There are some housekeepers
who think yearly dusting of the
books at housecleaning time sufficient
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass. When on open
shelves 1t means ruin to yalua ble
books. 1t takes a little longer to dust
the backs and tops of books Oh each
shelf every day. Use soft cheese

Mans Eyes and Animals.

Aside from the monkey, man is the
only animal having what we call binoc-
ular single vision-that is, he can tell
not only the direction Of an object, but
he can estimate fairly accurately its
distance. This is because both of his
eyes point ut the same object at the
same time, like two range finders. 9th
er animals do not concentrate their
gaze in this way. Their eyes are set
more nearly at the sides of the head.
SO that they see not only forward, but
backward for short distance. Man,
on the contrary. sees clearly only the
object at which he locks directly

words. He was talking about the
muscles of the face and nose. He
called attention to q muscle on the
nose called the elevator labbo

was a small muscle that raised the
l;pper lin and corner of the nose. He
said it was only an inch long and its
name is about Ave inches long. That
beat me. l asked him to give me
the name again and he repeated it.

WINDSOR Is WORRIED
ABOUT HORSE RACING

Detroit Mich. April 3o.-Dispatches
carried by newspapers today to the ef-
feet that horse racing will be suspended
IN Great Britain during the remainder OF
the war caused much speculation and
uneasiness here and in Windsor as to
the probability OF the order extending to
the provinces and closing down the ten
or more tracks in Canada
Detroiters are much concerned over
the possibility inasmuch as local capi-
tai Is invested in the three racing
plants located across the river in Wind
sor. There Is pending now In the Ca
madam parliament a bill which would
limit the number of racing days for each
Canadian province to two meetings OF
seven days each and its passage would
probably necessitate canceIling all meet
lngs in this vicinity, as preference would
be given to Toronto in assigning the
dates for Ontario tracks

SHEELER AND HOWARD
BATTLE TO A DRAW

Kid Sheeler and Silent Howard battled
to draw in the main bout at the Mary
land Athletic and Social Club at Ard
more last night. Sheeler apparently had
the decision safely tucked away at tho
end OF the tenth round, and II did not
look as II Howard had a chance of even
getting draw, but he came back in
the last few rounds and Referee Pat
O,Connor declartd II an even break. The
decision was not a popular one, how
ever, as Sheeler forced the fighting
throughout and scored two knockdowns.
In the fourteenth round, Howard split
the Frederick boys left eye, and this, no
doubt, had much to do with keeping the
decision from going against him.
One of the best battles on the card
was that between Bobby White, of York,
Pa, and Jimmy Conroy a local boy. The
latter forced matters from the tap of the
first gong until the finish, and was clearly
entitled TO the decision which was given
him.
Kid Ahearn won the ctrrtain-raiser
from Otto Brown on points. The latter
was generally picked to win, but proved
