It is fair assumption that the first man who ate an oyster was not a mon- key. Yet there are apparently so many things in common between a man and monkey that thesis ought to be writ ten, recording a few instances of the difference between a man and a mon key.
 The other day a man went into ths establishment of a leading New York jeweler and asked to see pearl necklaces. As you are probably aware, pearl neck laces have. among the other necessities of life, gone up. It is possible still to get one that is fairly durable and useful for sg0.000 or $40,000, if you are careful in pour shopping and don't get too excited over the first one you see. This man looked over the stock and finally selected the highest-priced one, at s7o,00o.
 The salesman didn't know him. He was not a customer with an account. Ana so, when it was evident that the man hade made up his mind to buy that pay teular necklace the salesman was natu- rally trffle anxious as to how this un- hknown customer was going to take It Raway without paying for it. A check would have been out of the question. The customer might quite easily have been a gunman. Scarcely a day goes by in New York that some merchant isn robbed and this man might have

 with it-in spite of the fact that the

"Outside for Stables"

From The Home Sector.
 Although comparisons are apt to be misleading, anyone might guess from reading the war departments latest It. erature on assertions that the engineer corps since the war has become the cushy branch of service, and the cav airy is just one horse currying after an- other. A table of assertions in the new army between March 1, 1919, and Jan. l. 1920, shows that three out of every one hundred members of the cavalry desert ed in that period, while the desertion rate for the engineers was less than one man per hundred. The average desertion rates for the other branches lay between these two extremes. Of 159S49 men in all the services. 3961 deserted, Of these, 5n were apprehended.
 Desertions from the infantry were nu- merically the largest Fifteen hundred infantrymen deserted out of the infantry strength of 5s s,203. Forty-eight per cent of the infantrymen who deserted were apprehended.

Thrift at the Table

From the Thrift Magazine.
 Tn these days of high cost of living it is important that there should be as little waste of food as possible. Fre- Quently much food is wasted at the table The family should be trained rot to waste food. For example, table tutter can be saved by serving in smaller portions. Quite frequently the portion served is larger than is needed or even desired. Although that which Is left on the table might be utilized in cooking, cheaper fats and oils should be used for this purpose With sugar retailing ft 20 cents per pound every effort should se made to use it :r moderation. Corn syrup, apple syrup and other fruit syrups are good substitutes for sugar
