GOT OFFICERS IN TROUBLE
Japanese Military Attaohe Had Wrong
idea of What Brtisher Intended
for Commentator.

A japanese officer does not believe
In games or social entertainments,
He takes himself and his profession
very seriously, and cannot understand
how the British military men can actu-
ally indulge in such games as football
or cricket,
Some years ago two Japanese Off
GERS were sent to England to study
English, and to be attached to Brit
tsh regiment Finding 1t was the thing
to play various games, the japanese
entered into the spirit of the thing, and
became very keen.
Toward tho end Of their time, the
Japanese military attache In London
asked the commanding officer Of the
unit TO which the two officers were at
tached to report on them, as he report
ed on his own officers. The command
inr officer complied and sent in what
he considered a glowing report-'keen,
Jealous officers" etc. - winding up
with the remark, very fond Of games.
The military attache was aghast
his specially selected officers "1ond Of
games" and wasting their time. no
doubt! The officers we're telephoned
for TO London, had an unpleasant in.
teryiew with their chief and were
within an ace Of being sent back to
Japan in disgrace.
Il occurred to them to suggest that
their commanding officer be asked fol
"a further report. When 1t appeared
that "fopd Of games" was usually put
to the credit side in assessing the char
acter Of an officer, there were few
men more astonished than the Jap
anese military attache.

War Gas Causes Appendicitis

The various poison gases so much
In use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood OF
swallowing some amount Of gas TN
ORIGINATING the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place Incl
dental to the intake Of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions OF
the throat. Such swallowing Of toxic
vapors causes a variety Of digesdonal
disturbances, according to the amount
of gas ingested.
According to an article In the Jour

Praique, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The

BY INES MACDONALD

Martin Brown was In no way u 70
markable man except in the matter -
elephants, and Of elephants ha had
what was In all probability the largest
single collection In the world. Please
do not mistake this assertion. His
elephants were not alive. not real ele-
plants, you know, but images, modelled
and carved.
His small studio apartment was full
Of ivory elephants. some of them no
larger than watch charm, bronze ele-
plants, porcelain, plaster and wooden
elephants; some Of which he himself
had carved, for Martin Brown was no
mean craftsman-a sort Of 1ock-0f-ali-

Made First Cash Register

A man named Jacob Ritty. mer-
chant Of Dayton, O., took q vacation
trip to Europe. While crossing on the
steamer, he sauntered one day into the
engine room and noticed a device that
mechanically recorded the number Of
revolutions Of the propeller shaft I'm
mediately came the idea to the mind
Of Mr.. Ritty: "Why not invent a ma
chine that would record each coin put
into the cash drawer?" When he re-
turned home he invented the first
"cash register" John II. Patterson
was keeping q grocery store In a small
town so miles from Dayton. He heard
of the Ritty contrivance, sent an or
der for one, and that was the
inventors first order. The machine
was crude, but 1t interested Mr., Pat
terson and he saw how 1t could be per-
fected. "If it's good for my store" he
argued, why not for all stores,"
Forthwith he went to Dayton, bought
the Ritty interest ont, and started the
National Cash Register Co, which has
now 100000 machines and every
year turns out more than 10000 cash
registers.

and he was a familiar personality to
them all. Whenever anything new
came in that even SO much as men
toned elephants, 1t was always called
TO his attention.
This had been the rule with but one
exception. For more than year past
in several of the magazines there had
been occurring a most interesting type
of black and white drawings which fea.
tured the elephant in strange and Pc
culiar phases, and in most unusual sur
roundings. There were sad elephants,
coy ones. comical, rollicking, devil-may-
care elephants, abandoned and digni.
fed elephants.
They strol1ed or danced along the
streets, they looked curiously over gar
den walls, into or out of unexpected
doorways, stroled up or down the steps
Of sunken gardens, sometimes In the
most delightful company of dancing
girls or nymphs in Silhouette.
And when Martin Brown first saw
those drawings he laughed and hunted
eagerly for more. He found taea, Il ito
a few of them, signed ino'yeIy ia rha
corner, IS. B." He called the attention
Of one of the librarians whom he had
known for several years and asked her
If she knew anything of the artist She

there and pored over elephant books
and made quantities of sketches.

Miss Barstow," said the librarian
stopping the girl with a gesture to
ward Martin Brown. "this Il the ele
plant man, Martin Brown"
Brown looked into pair Of sad gray
eyes that were frankly wide and curl
ous. He could not understand why
| those eyes were sad, for there was s
| hint Of humor in the curves of he,
mouth, and her drawings sparkled witt
fun.
"I've often wondered about you, Ele
plant Man." said Sara Barstow, witt
an open-eyed smile.
It was but natural that they should
become friends, they had so much ir
common At his fnsistent invitation she
visited his studio and sketched his ele
plants, and he gave her Of his lore an6

before known in the timidity Of hel

Brown did not know, but that wa.
the reason for the sadness In her eyes
the loneliness Of shy but courageoul
spirit fighting upward in the conten
aous competition of remorseless Man
haitian. But as she reveled In the
5oy Of her association with Brown thu
hook Of sadness lifted from her eye
ana they began to reflect the dancing

In considering renovating, the
subject Of kitchen curtains may
come up. Sometimes curtains are
made which blow in and out Of the
windows. They catch the dust and
often they may blow into food In
The Washington times., 1919-02-23
Starting Spring Cleaning
Bu Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority Household Efficiency.

The shelves where food supplies
are kept should be no wider than
the depth of the article which is to
rest on them. Much work is caused
by having shelves so deep that ar
ticles have to stand behind one an
other and are thus difficult to get.
Often a set Of shelves may be
put up close to a sink. Then it is
an easy matter to lay the dishes on
the open shelves as soon as they
are wiped. This saves many steps
and carrying heavy trays of dishes.
Such shelves should be painted and
with a top coat of enamel.
When rearranging the kitchen
the housekeeper should ask herself:
Gould any tool or utensil be hung
up or placed to better advantage?"
The rule to bear in mind is to place
each utensil near the place where
it is used and not in some distant
pantry where steps are required to
reach it when wanted. A dozen or
two of cup hooks will help. These
may be screwed in, about three
inches apart, near the stove or sink
or table, and small beaters, ETC., as
well as saucepans and skillets hung
on them. Otter a better arrange
ment makes it possible to shut up
the old pantry and have all work
done in the kitchen.
One feature often neglected in
kitchens is proper ventilation. II
Aho-o {. =, y.orrv.far a,ra oy,a raau IN.
sert a fiue ventilator. This Is a
kind Of revolving fam which takes
up oders as 1t carries OF the heated
air.
Another plan is to insert in the
wall a regular radiator, such as
comes from a hot afr furnace. This
is an oblong box, about six inches
deep. It can be inserted in the wall
near the ceiling by any plumber at
a cost Of about 81. If kept open it
will assist In removing the heated
and bad smelling air. The time to
place such ventilators Is in the
Spring, so as to ensure a cooler
kitchen in warm weather.
At this. season it is we'll to give
TIC pduIIy duu hll lHC lOOu oNOi aSC
places a thorough oveThauling.
Every dry cereal, all supplies Of
cornmeal, etc., should be used up
before Summer or they will become
spoiled and subject to the growth
Of weevils and other health-destroy-
ing insects. Raisins, dry prunes.
lemon peel, etc, should also be
used up, or, if that is impossible,
placed in clean glass jars with tops.
Excellent containers of glass have
metal tops which slide shut, thus
keeping out insects and moisture.
By all means, use up the contents
of all paper bags before Summer
comes.
Many utensils may have become
coated with grease after the heavy
seasons use. If they are of iron
or steel they may be. placed for a
moment in the furnace or stove pit
and burned clean, always being
careful not to place a soldered joint
in such heat. If they are Of alumni
uum they may be put in a bath Of
boiling water and oxalic crystals
for a couple Of hours, then removed
and polished with silver polish. .

rs there any way of ridding my

hairs that mortify me so terribly?
"A. III.
Unsightly, brist.e-like hairs on
the chin can often be removed by
massaging the skin around them
with cold cream or with olive oil.
Then sterflize a pair of tweezers by
holding them in boiling water or
dipping them into peroxide of hy-
drogen and pull out the hairs one
by one with short, sharp jerks.
Battle the skin from which they
have been removed with some heal
ing lotion NJ anoint it with cold
