Wasps Are Wise and Vain;
Know All About Aviation;
Keen on Air Resistance

Who would be a wasp? The bees get
all the credit! But our affection for
pees is largely cupboard love, due to
the honey they provide us with, and
the wasp has virtues which few people
trouble to recognize.
Wasps are wise, declares a writer in
London Answers. 1t is doubtful
whether any action in a beehive is
more sagacious than the action of a
wasp when he has killed a bluebottle.
ana is faced with the problem of car
rylng him home. He carefully cuts off
the legs and wings, leaving the body of
us victim quite compact.
Why does he do this? To save weight
when flying home with the booty? Not
ar all. The wasp knows all about avia-
ton, and he gets I'D of the legs and
wings of the bluebottle to reduce air
resistance!
Wasps are strong as we'll as wise.
They can carry a weight euualing 40
Dluebottles. They are also more friend
ly than one imagines, rarely stingine
without good cause. But they are
vain, for yellow and black are their
favorite colors. And, when all is said
and done, they are nuisance!

There Are 246 Bones and
sgt Muscles From Tip to
Toes of the Human Body

Do you know how many bones you
have? Probably not for we have such
little curiosity about ourselves and our
composition that we generally know
very little beyond what we can see,
remarks a writer in London Answers.
You possess 246 bones from tip to
toe. They are distributed about you
as follows:
Your ears have 90 each. Your
head has 8. Your face has IA and your
teeth comprise 80. Your backbone,
with it's base, has 26 bones and so has
the area Of your expansive chest.
Your legs and feet have 62, your
arms and hands "a.
The grand total is reached by the
addition of s small movable bones.
There are more muscles in your body
than bones. They number 527.
If you are curious for further knowl-
edge regarding your bones you will be
interested to know their composition.
They include phosphate of lime, car
Donate of lime, phosphate of magne-
sium f1uoride Of lime, chloride Of
sodium, cartilage and blood vessels.

your bones," you might remember this

lovely Overblouses will appeal the
most. Some of these, to be worn with
skirts of heavy black or midnight blue,
are quite long, reaching to within a
foot of the hem. Such an overblouse
of sand colored georgette is braided
from throat to hem in black and gold
threads and held in at the waistline
with a string belt braided with black
and gold. This is worn over a black
satin skirt. A companion frock to
this, reproduced in midnight blue
serge. has the very long overblouse Of
black satin embroidered in Chinese
motifs in colored threads and suggest
ing mandarin's coat. The embroidery
is deftly done and not in the least
garish or conspicuous.

Simplicity the Debutante's Note.
One expects the debutante to be
gowned with simplicity, and wise
mothers follow this rule in the choice
not only of the debuting gown but in
the selection Of the greater part Of the
wardrobe as we'll. The simpler fabrics
such as chiffOns and georgettes are
preferred to the heavier metallic bro
cade and velvets. The gowns of pastel
taffetas are lovely for informal occa-
sions. With these little things with
their long slender bodices, pointed in
front and fitted with a sash in the
back, are worn tiny caps of the pastel
silk to match the dress. This is
Partisan fashion just being shown
over here and suitable for theatre and
restaurant wear. Even in the smaller
cities young girls go about nowadays
to restaurants and cafes for the dane
ing which seems to be more sought
than ever. 1t is for this occasion that
the taffeta frocks of the lovely pastel

The favored shade for evening wear
in the gay French city for the debu-
tante is emerald green. This Is en-
chantingly combined with silver, and

color scheme. Canary yellow is also

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Those who have green crops such
as wheat, oats, rye and barley for
their fowls are fortunate. There will
be times during the winter when these
crops will do the fowls much good
But where for any reason no green
crops are available oats may be
sprouted to provide green feed for the
fowls.
A good way to do this is to get
few boxes that may be easily handled.
Fill the boxes with garden loan soil
and put in the barn, cellar or clubhouse
where there is ventilation. Molsten
the soil and SOW oats in these boxes
The seed may be planted very thick,
as it will be best to set the box out
and let the chickens have access to
them as soon as the plants are an
inch or more above the ground. An
other sowing may then be made in the
box.
In this way the fowls may have
enough green food to give them
good appetite and keep them in fine
health and vigor. 1t is very difficult
matter to keep hens in good laying
condition during the winter without
green food. The best way is to sow
green crops. If this has not been done,
then oats may be sprouted as has been
suggested.
