LAY IN SUPPLY OF OXYGEN
Substance Necessary In Human Body
 to Produce Explosions, Otherwise Muscular Power.

You are a whlZZbang, a five-nine and a 420-howltzer shell all rolled into one If you only knew 1t. You can explode more forcibly than the 200-pound, thin- shell aero bombs on moonlight nights. And the only thing that saves you from blowing yourself up every minute Of your life is natures provision for dis trIbuting the spark throughout your system.
 Well, It's like this:
 Dr. Ronald c. Macfie of Aberdeen, Scotland has discovered that every muscular movement Is accomplished by an explosion. You are different from an airplane motor in three essentials, component matter, design and the man. ner of exploding.
 When an aero cylinder explodes, just so much gas Is gone, not to be re- generated within the motor. But when you wield the hoe in your war garden your muscles of the hand and arm are propelled by an explosion of part or their own substance. The burnt-up portion Is automatically replaced by natural processes. .
 If you require great deal of mus cular power-if you explode good deal, Dr. Macfie explains-you must eat starchy foods and take all the oxy' gen you can get.
 In other words, "lay 1@' the meat, eat potatoes and go walking in the open air at night instead of going to the movies.

Drilled Twenty Months,

n diamond drill hole in Sussex coun-
", New Jersey, 1920 feet deep, has re
Gently been completed by the contract
drilling forces OF the Sullivan Machin-
cry Company. A two-inch diameter
core was removed to a depth of 1000
feet, beyond which tools removing one
and threc-eighths inch core were used
to the complexion Of the hole When
the depth of 1900 feet was reached, the
long line Of rods required for drilling
weighed l3 tons, and it took eight hours,
steady work for hoisting them out, re
placing them and resuming drilling. it
is said that the hole showed no devia-
tion from the perpendicular. 1t required
20 months to complete the hole, which
is l,700 feet deeper than the deepest
previous hole of which there IS any rec
ord in North America. Only three or
four diamond drill holes have been put
down in this country, it is said, exceed
ing 5000 feet in depth.

Mrs. Perkins stepped in for a minute

up his medicine bag, and hurried for our
runabout which soon took me back to
that berry patch.
There stretched out under a big pine,
lay the little red-haired boy, with his
patched blue shirt open at the throat
Just as | had laid his head on my lap,
Deane came up with his cap full Of wa

that medicine chest; for his eyes lighted

Judith's eyes frightened and she en-

very quickly discovered that she had

When they finally left the table rap

an hour or so before her in the parlor,
then she could relax. 1t wouldn't have
been so bad in there if Jack hadn't
wanted to show pictures and books that
she hadn't had time to dust She sur-
reptitiously rubbed some OF them on her
skirt before he got hold of them,
but, of course, Mrs. Churchstonc saw
her, and, of course, Mrs. Churchstone
would express proper horror afterward.
