Violin Resin,

For violin resin, boil down Venice
turpentine with a little water until q
drop cooled on piece of glass is of
proper consistency. During the boil
ing cold water must be added from
time to time. When sufficiently thick
pour into cold water; knead well, and
when cold break into pieces. Expose
to sun until dry and transparent. Sc
lect the best clear brown resin, melt
1t in clean basin, to nearly a boil,
which will clear it of turpentine or
other volatile oils. Pour in paper
n;olds.

Changes In Modern Face.

The tendency Of the modern face,
according to Prof. James Keith, lee
turer on anthropOlogy at the Royal
institute. London. England, is to be-
come wedge-shaped. with longer, mar
rover and more prominent nose. Prom
inences above the eyes are disappear
Ing. and the brow is becoming smooth
and Of an even contour. These changes
In the human face. declared the scien-

elephant Most Useful.

Parrots are playful, but eaglets are
not, and no one has ever been able
successfully to tame an eagle. Among
sea mammals, seals are very playful,
sea lions are not, and trained seals
are among the cleverest performers Of
the vaudeville stage. OF the larger
animals, the elephant alone possesses
playful character in youth, and thus,
while the rhinoceros and hippOpOta-
mus can only be seen from the safe
side of strong barred cages, the ele-
phant can be utilized for a thousand
purposes, from that of a derrick to a
nursemaid.

Make the Most of Pleasure.

Few young people make as much as
they should of small pleasures. For
many years the standards of enjoy
ment have been undergoing a change
and there is a tendency to think that
we cannot have good time that does
not cost money. A girls education is
tar from complete till she has learned
to enjoy herself simply and without
any money expense.-PenRsylvania

When Tin DECAYS

The most remarkable example Of
allotropic disintegration Of metals Is
perhaps that Of tin. The investiga-
ton has shown that the disease can
only occur In a temperature not ex-
ceeding 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Tin
decay is, therefore, most prevalent in
cold climates.

Goal Always to Be SOUGHT.

The greater good lies beyond the
eyes, to be reached for but not touched,
lmpalpable, unattainable, never de-
SPARED of, never found, always in the
prospect, never in the experience,
something certain for the future,
something unknown to the past.-Clif-

The question of who will be Speaker
of the next House under the control
of the Republicans rests with a group
of Baltimore physicians who have
been asked by James R. Mann, of
Chicago. to determine whether he is
strong enough to hold the job. II
their decision is favorable. Mr.. Mann
will ask for the Speakership and
there pro~tsoly will be nothing to pre-
vent his election by unanimous vote.

His associates in the House greeted
him cordially and congratulated him
upon the apparent Improvement in
his health.

tention to work as the minority lead

departure, incensed, from the Lambs
and Friars' Frolic at the Aetropoli-
tan Opera House last night. after he
had been told he must subscribe 5000
to the United War Work Campaign
or be "blackjacked." resulted in de-
cision today by the management of
the campaign that there will be no
more auctions TO raise funds in the
drive, and that individuals in an au-
dience will not be heckled personally.
In conformity with the decision of
the managers. an auction, scheduled
for tonight at the Waldorf Astoria,
was abandoned. regardless of the fact
that a $1,000 bid had already been re-
ceived for a book Of signatures which
was to have been offered for sale.
Henry Ford was still in an unhappy
frame of mind today over his heckling
last night. 1t was not that he OBJ

ALL FROZEN TURKEYS
FOR YANKS' DINNERS
Entire Supply Taken Over by Gov
eminent: Shortage Here Likely.

New York, Nov. E.-Practically the
entire supply of frozen turkeys has
been taken by the government to in
sure proper Thanksgiving dinners for
its upward of 100000 soldiers and
sailors, and many a civilians table
will this year have to be content with
some camouflage for turkey.
Many hundreds of thousands of
pounds of turkey have been sent
overseas. last week alone the gov
ernment having paid 42k cents a
pound for 100000 pounds. Persons in
civil life fortunate enough to get tur-
keys this year will have to pay from
30 TO s. cents a pound and much more
for fancy Virginia and Maryland
hens, it was declared today by mar
ket men.
