AWKWARD WAYS ALWAYS
WASTE ENERG Y

From buttoning shoes to washing
dishes. there is an easy and an awk-
~ard way Of doing all work, as every
one knows. Now along comes the
scientist, who says that his expert
ments show that, aside from feeling
and looking more comfortable when
you do your work in the right way,
you also save considerable energy.
This fact is one of several which re-
cent experiments made by the Office Of
Home Economics Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture have dis
closed. These experiments have been
made for the purpose of determining
the energy requirements of an individ-
ual in the various circumstances of his
daily life and for use in estimating the
amounts and kinds Of food required by
him to meet the needs Of his body
for energy.
1t was found in the homely every
day task Of dish washing that, when q
woman washed dishes on q table SO
low that she was obliged to ben6 over,
her energy output was 80 calories per
hour. When she washed them on q
table that was 4 little too high for
comfort, it required 25 calories per
hour. while only 81 calories were used

BED BUGS MAY BE ERADICATED
BY THE USE OF POISONOUS GAS

The following from the Agricultur-

read carefully.
The bed bug is cosmopolitan

less polite names) and lives entirely
within dwellings, hiding away during
the day time in cracks and crevices.
coming forth at night to feed. The
normal life of the bed bug is about
three months (if it gets away but,
without food. as in the case of va
cant house. it can live for a very long
time. There are several means Of
treatment for this pest, such as burn
ing sulphur, fumigating, using gaso-
line or turpentine. OF the above,
fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas
is the best, as it rids the premises en-
tirely, affecting complete and per
manent control.
Hydrocyanic-acid gas is formed by
the combination Of sulphuric acid,
water and potassium cyanide in the
following proportions:
Potassium cyanide SO per cent, one
ounce; water, 3 ounces.
Mix the water and sulphuric acid
by slowly pouring the acid into the
water. Never reverse this operation,
as there is great danger in getting
burned. While the solution is still
hot, add the potassium cyanide. Use
at the rate of one ounce Of potassium
cyanide for each 100 cubic feet of
space. See that all windows are
tightly closed and that the cracks in
the doors are covered with paper.
Arrangements can be made by the
use of strings TO touch of the loads
simultaneously. Always use an earth
en- jar as generator; glass is too
fragile and the acid will act upon
iron or tin.
After proportioning the water and
acid and placing the proper amount
in each container, place the proper
amount of potassium cyanide in "a
small paper bag, and II the house is
two stories, begin at the top and
touch the laods as you 60 down. The
operator should take great care not to
breathe in the room after the cya-
nide has been a1ded to the acid and
water. Close up the house and place

SPRING
tBy Charles Leckenby)

tBy Charles Leckenby)
Gather round children and we will
play the fascinating bit Of recreation
which comes with the spring. Spring
is here; spring isn't here. Pluck an
other petal of the daisy, child, and we
will know whether spring Is here or
spring isn't here. This little game
has been a leader in American recrea-
ton circles for years. It is to be
classed with the game where the little
ball rolls round and round and the big
fat man with the green eye shade will
yell: "Round and round the little ball
goes, where she stops nobody knows" :"
It's the same with spring One day
the women come out bundled up with
furs and you know it is spring. The
next day they come out without q
wrap and low shoes and lot Of
peekaboo creations, and you know Il
Is still winter. Even the spring poets
are fooled this year.

snsT TO TEACH PHILOSOPHY
sesasr 10 Accorded Thaiss, Who ne- sablshst School Which Exsrtsd
 WIas Influence.

The first school of philosophy was established in NilstGs (Asia Ainor) 11 Thsles, one of the wise men, and wss quite remarkable institution, sxerting an influence for more than . century.
 Thales seems to have given himself more entirely to this school than to Aay sf his other undertakings. There q . legend that he never married, and when his mother pressed him to do % he said: Tt is not yet time." After his youth was passed she again urged hin to marry and he said: Tt is nc 1saGsr time"
 Many ef the subjects taught in his ashool. such as astronomy, geometry and geography, show the influence of 1WDt and Pheenieia; but the phil lsssphy was probably an original prod net. fer while some of the sciences were somewhat advanced, the philoso- DAy was apparently . first attempt at an explanation of the origin of the world. It originated a movement which eliminated more than . century later in the idealism of Plato.
 We may perhaps understand some hing of the attitude of the cem-- men people toward Thales' school of philosophy frsm the story of the old woman who laughed when the master fell backward into a ditch after gaz- 1ng too long at the stars. The old woman not only laughed, but she Is said to have called after him: If yeu cannot see what Is under your feet, how can you understand what is sn heavenr'
 The geography and astronomy taught in this school were very prim- five: The earth was fiat. the sun eircled around it horizontally, being concealed at night by high hills. One writer of the time describes the world tn the following poetical way: God makes . mantle, large and fair and embroiders on it earth and ocean and ecean's dwellings"

DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPEED
Aviator and Motorist Didn't Have the Same Kind of Comparison as
 They Travelled.

The mot0rist was taking an aviator friend, recently returned from the army air service, out for . spin. Thinking of the 125-mile an-hour speed to which the airman was accustomed, the motorist felt that 1t was incumbent upon him to ''let Ter out" His friend, he felt, would feel badly amhling along at the land rate folks are used to trav- cling So he cut loose and the car was dipping along at something like 50 miles an hour.
 Then the motorist felt hand laid upon his arm.
 "Going pretty fast, aren't your re marked the aviator, a trifie uneasily.
 After the motorist had slowed down he asked: Why, I thought the best speed I could make would seem slew te you. How is it that it appeared so fast?"
 "You see, in the air. even at our greatest speed, we seem more or less stationary unless we look below ns and see objects hitting past" explained the aviator. "Ysu know speed can only be reckoned visually-hy things enc is leaving behind. Now, the gait you were moving a few minutes ago looked mighty fast, uncomf0rtably fast I might say, to, me. I kept noticing things we are leaving behind"
 "Well, I'll be darned," said the mo- torist T never thought of it in that way before"
 And the hand of the speed clock jig gied back to the 25-mile mark.--Kan- sAs City Star.
