BRICKS AND Cement SWELL
Absorb Moisture and "Grow" to a Con.
siderable Extent, According to
English Publication.

How much has your house or the
wall at the bottom Of your garden
grown?
Houses and walls, indeed all things
maze OF bricks, do grow, and this fact
IS known to architects, who sometimes
nave to allow for it when making
plans for building, says London An
swers.
In the old days, when the clay of
which bricks were made was mixed
with water before being baked, the
amount of growth was not noticeable !;
now that no water, or very little, is
mixed with the clay, which is there
fore said to be dry baked, the bricks
absorb moisture and swell sometimes
to considerable extent.
Some years ago in a garden at Ely
a pier was built of dry baked bricks
and the garden hose was turned onto
this pier for considerable period
every day for some weeks. At the end
OF this time the pier was measured.
when it was found to have grown
some inches.
Cement Is another substance which
grows. That is why you may often see
on station platforms and on wall cop
1ngs built of cement one of the joints
missed out here and there.
The greatest growth naturally takes
place where cements and bricks are
used together, as happened In house
OF which the parapet was built of
bricks placed endways and cement sup
ported on iron. The growth in this
instance was so great that quite large
spaces were visible between the iron
supports and the parapet.

In Apple Blossom Time.

A wedding attended was held in an
orchard in apple blossom time. One Of
the women wore red shirtwaist. In
the midst of the service bull in q
pasture in the next field rushed in at
the red shirtwaisted woman, who
climbed tree befc re the bull arrived.
The rest of the party and myself did
likewise. The brides veil fell of,
which embarrassed her exceedingly.
The shirtwaist was thrown over the
fence and the bull subdued, and the
wedding continued in peace. The
woman fastened home after a new
shirtwaist, wearing her husbands
frock coat.-Exchange.

BLUBBER A DELICIOUS WAND
Said to Be Of Immensely Pleasant
Taste, When Eaten Raw From
tho Seal.

It has always been a mystery to me
why the word "brubber' should carry
such disagreeabie connotation to mil
lions Of people, though not one In a
million has ever tasted it, writes VII
hjalmur Stefansson in Harper's.
am often asked what seal meat
tastes like and am driven to saying
that it tastes like seal meat, for it does
not resemble any commonly known
type of meat. But neither does mutton
resemble any meat known to me, and
still mutton Is good eating, and 50 is
seal But the fat is much easier to
describe. When the ,blubber is eaten
raw, as we commonly eat it by prefer
ence. it has flavor: very similar to
that of fresh cows cream. but when
boiled it closely resembles the fat Of
mutton. For that reason Mr.. wilkins,
who came from the sheep district Of
Australia, was that member of our
whole expedition who most readily fell
into the eating Of the seal fat.
In general most men refrain from
tasting blubber because it is named
blubber, until they become so fat hun
CRY that they are eventually driven to
trying it, and when they try it, to their
surprise they invariably find it so de-
ucious that, If not restrained, they
overeat and, as is we'll known, overeat-
ing any form Of fat causes nausea and
other distressing symptoms. After one
or two experiences Of this sort I am
now careful never to allow a man to
eat all the blubber he wants the first
time he tries it, for If he gets sick he
is almost certain to blame the seal
and not his own gluttony.

The sign on the Church.

Many a pedestrian and motorist
looked, observed and smiled Wednes-

Clinton hill. Obvious and elaborate
preparations for a wedding were un-

were bustling. The unmistakable can.

CONFLICT ON OVER TAXES
 IN IRELAND

DUBLIN, July (bv Associated Press).-The net result of the recent county council elections is that now both in the cities and in the counties in 28 out of B counties the local gov. ernment is in direct hostility to the central government.
 The first conflict between them will arise out of the question of payir g compensation for outrage. Every day the judges are awarding to the rela. tives of murdered policemen, to in. jured policemen, and to the owners of burned police premises large sums as compensation chargeable on the local rates. The total already runs up close to 75O,O00 pounds.
 The local authorities have refused to collect taxes for these payments. In that case some of them the govera- ment can secure money by deductions from the sums payable to the local authorities by the imperial exchequer in relief of local taxes.
 In the majority of cases the parties awarded compensation have only &C., quired a right to sue the local auth critics in the courts for the money It is believed that even after judge ment is given, the local authorities will refuse to pay. Many of them have passed resolutions saying they will recognize no authority save that of Dali Eireann.
 The government has decided to in- troduce bill in parliament to enforce payment of this compensation money.

PUPILS MUST BEPHYSICALLY
 FIT IN UTAH


 sociated Press). - Physical examina- tion of pupils in public schools was urged by B. G. Gowans, Utah state director of health education, as an essential factor in the establishment of an aristocracy of the physically fit,' before the meeting of the Nation al Educational Association. Here is his program.
 1. An examination of every school child at least once a year with spe- cial emphasis upon the examination which precedes the child's first en- trance into school. This examination consists of a preliminary examination early in the year by the teacher, fol- |. lowed by more technical examination by the health supervisor who is a physician, trained physical director or a trained nurse. It is said that 90 per cent of remediable defects can be determined by the examinations which teachers can be easily trained to give
 2. An effective follow-up which has for it's purpose the correction of the remediable defects revealed by the annual examinations.
 3. The inspection of buildings and grounds and the maintenance of sani- tary and hygienic conditions.
 4. The protection of the school pop ulation and incidentally the commun- ity from contagious diseases by daily inspection of pupils and exclusion of incipient cases. This is of vast i'm p0rtance and makes necessary the very beginnings of acute health dis order, and the creation of a sentiment among parents that will make for willingness to cooperate.
 5. Better training in personal, household, and public hygiene. This means, in addition to the acquisition of some knowledge, the actual inculca- tion of health habits.
 6. Systematic physical training as a means of promoting normal physical growth.
 There has developed in the minds of number of active workers" said Gowans, "a more or less definite con- viction that health education, viewed broadly, is not only an essential part of but probably the most valuable vehicle for moral training It is T clearer to us all today than ever be- fore that it is the business of the ele- mentary as we'll as of the secondary school to train the young how to live. | This means habits of daily life an in- tegral part of which are the health habits. Health and citizenship are so closely linked together that training in one cannot be given separate and apart from a training in the other. | The civics and health clubs for junior high schools are our answer to this demand for rational school practice in this field"

The skull of the human be. ing was missing and because the dis. coverer has been a resident of the district for 37 years, it is believed the man was either one of the earliest prospectors or an Indian. No weapon was found to show how the man. while within the clasp of the bear, was able to kill the beast.
