Bean Growing in Early Times.

Theophrastus, writing 300 years be-
fore the Christian era, says that in
Macedonia and Thessaly, beans were
grown to be plowed into the soil at
Towering time. Varro about SO years
b. c. says: "Some things should be
sown with view not so much to pre-
sent profit as to next years crops, be
cause when cut down and left they i'm
prove the soil. Thus lupins before
they produce many pods, and some
times beanstalks, if the podding stage
be not so far advanced that 1t is
profitable to pull the beans, are usual
ly plowed into poor land" In Elan
ders, which has always been a model
to the rest of Europe in husbandry,
this method has always been a great
feature. This we learn from the lee
ture read by DIR. f. j. Russell, NJ. A..
+. II. s., c. b. f., at the Royal Horti-
cultural society-who recommends
these methods and regards 1t as one
OF the most efficient ways of making
soil Such is our obligation to Theo-
phrastus.-Christian Science Monitor.

1t Works Both WAYS Here.

One of the volunteer drivers of a
food lorry during the strike is said
to have displayed the following no.
tice on his vehicles: THE driver of
this lorry is prize fighter. If any
one thinks he can take his place he
is welcome to try" 1t reminds one
of story that was current in Stock
holm towards the end OF the last
Olympic Games there in 1913. One
of the boxing professor" was called
away one evening from his seat in a
cafe where the athletes and their fol-
lowers were wont to gather together.
He left behind him handsome gold
headed cane, but beside it on the
chair a pencil notice that ran: 1.-THE
man who owns this stick is the
worlds champion boxer. He is COM
ing back" When he did return the
cane had vanished, but a new notice
lay on the chair 1t read: "The man
who took your stick is the worlds
fastest runner. And he is not COM
ing back"

SHOES IN SONG AND STORY
Humble Foot Coverings Have Figured
Largely in the Traditions Of
Various Nations.

Shoes have their tradition of song
and story, writes Wainwright Evans
in Nationals Business. We all know
Cinderella, but few have heard of
RhOdope, the Egyptian maiden who
had the most beautiful foot to be
found along the Nile. One day when
she was at her bath a discriminating
eagle flew down and carried off her
sandal, which he dropped by way Of
suggestion at the feet of the king.
OF course the king put his heralds
right on the job, took hand in the
search himself, found his Cinderella,
and made her queen Of Egypt.
Our boys in France must have seen
the many shrines and memorials
around scissors dedicated to st. Girls
pin, patron saint Of shoemakers. The
story goes that st. Crispin and his
brother, Crispianus, were Romans,
who, about the year 1903 were con-
verified to Christianity. Together they
went north into France, spreading the
gospel. They supported themselves
by making shoes, which they sold to
the natives at very low price. Pre-
sumably they undersold all COMPETE
tors. At any rate, possibly with the
encouragement and connivance of the
local chamber of commerce, they were
finally put out of the way by the I'M
grateful proletariat.

WHY RACES ARE DIFFERENT
Men of Science Say Physical Peculiar
tiles May Be Accounted for by
Functional arrangements.

Discussing the differences that dis
tinguish the Anglo-Saxon from the
Chinese, or the negro, Prof. Arthur
Keith recently explained that the key
to the problem is to be found through
studying the disturbances and disor-
ders that occasionally affect the
development and growth of the human
body, especially those due to a func-
tional arrangement of one or more of
the glands Of internal secretion-the
pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and othe,
glands. In some manner not yet un.
derstOod, the functions carried on in
these glands regulate not only the d.
mansions of the body, but also the
The racial features of the Mon
golian type are initiated by growing
Europeans who are affected by def
cheney disorders of the thyroid gland.
The features of the negro can best
be accounted for by the nature Of the
growth-regulating mechanism conferred
in the thyroid and suprarenal glands
European features are connected with
dominance in the functions of the
pituitary.
Scientists hope that thorough
study of the still very obscure subject
of the so-called "ductless" glands will
provide the means of regulating, tc
some extent, the future evolution of
the human race.

when the Women Get to Vote.

There1l be heap of changes in
this. gay old world OF ours; when the
women mark their ballot in booth
bedecked with flowers; all frilled up
with tatted curtains, dainty pencils
en- a chain, with a mirror and a
chamois to accommodate the vain.
Therell be linen on the table top.
pajamas on it's legs, ther'll be fine
upholstered rockers to take the place
Of kegs. There'll DO no smell of lik-
ker and cigars as days gone bye and
therell be no package on the hip"
for the voter who is dry. The ballot
box will be so cute in ribbons pink
and blue, with ruffled edge OF
green chiffon with violets peeping
through. They'll have the cutest bal
lots scented up with sweetest roses
and as they pass the ballots out
they'll also hand you posies. With
judges wearing full dress
suits of fashions latest hobby, while
the clerks who keep the record will
be decked out near and nobby. The
old spittoon will be taboo, no snipes
upon the floor, instead rug of
nifty weave will stretch from booth
to door. There'll be no smoke, no
cnssing, from the political leader, in
stead there'll be a hymn or two,
Number by reader. There'll be no
betting on the man you've picked to
save the nation, nor will you dare to
raise your voice in someone's ex-
ploitation. No more will the judges
cock their feet upon the window sill
and listen to the stories that some
one has to spill. But II think I'll cut
it bias, shirr it down the front and
side, and trim it up with tucks AMI
Dleats, also ruffle wide" This line
OF conversation from the board will
emanate, when the women get the
ballot and We become effeminate.
You'll simply talk in whispers and
you'll walk with stealthy tread,
while you wonder if you're still your
self, or simply being led. Yes, you'll
see some little changes that are wor-
thy now to note, for the time is fast
approaching when the women cast
the vote.

Fish That Explode.

To the Russian people Lake Baikal,
in eastern Siberia, is holy lake, and
they believe both the lake and its sur
rounding country are endowed with
supernatural powers and Inhabited by
unearthly beings. All kinds Of weird
tales mingle with their explanations
of any feature of the lake. Even so
simple an object as great rock lying
in the middle of river just where II
flows from Lake Baikal takes on O
mysterious significance. II this stone
were to slip from its place, they say,
the whole of Lake Baikal would pour
out of its basin and flood the river
and probably the continent. But there
are actually many strange things
about Lake Baikal. There is, for ex-
ample, a species of fish that inhabits
the deepest part These fish have been
seen by few persons, for as soon as
they are lifted out of their accustomed
atmosphere of high pressure they ex-

Greatest Efficiency
Truck Contest Ends
Operators the Country Over
Take Part in Test of
Upkeep

Prizes amounting to s17e4o have
been awarded by the judges in the
biggest truck efficiency contest ever
held in this country. and the first that
has covered an entire year, giving data
on operating conditions under all
weather conditions and in all circum-
stances.
Firms which entered the competi-
tion were scattered from Maine to
California and from Winnipeg to Dal-
las. About 5S per cent Of all truck
owners who started in the contest
stayed through, and 401 trucks turned
in records complete enough to go be-
fore the judges for the twelve months
operation from February l, 1919, to
January 81, 1920. The records were so
handled that no judge knew any owner
till the results were decided.
The following were the prize WIN

pump and see that 10 circulates; also
that he will fill the change speed gear
case at intervals and likewise the diff

member the hub caps, and the clutch.
if tho latter requires oil. But on the
average that is about the limit.
The manufacturer has told you so
we'll about the engine fabrication that
l shall not repeat in general terms
what he has specifically directed for
his make of car.
This has been a pretty tough spring
for cars. The terrific winter put the
roads in bad shape, and incessant
showers have made mud to spatter the
car. 1t would not be so bad if it were
only the outside of the car which be-
came muddy, for that you would see
and sheer pride would make you wash
it Off. Down under, out of sight, there
are working parts which were like
wise we'll spattcred. Although the gears
and shafts and things are inclosed in
castings and run in oil or grease, some
of the dirt will work in and cause wear
unless the dirt is promptly cleaned Off
Wherever there is al oil hole or a
grease cup dirt will lodge especially,
even the road dust, but If this is
cleaned Off and fresh oil put in, and
If the grease cups are screwed down
until grease is forced OUT around the
joint and this is wiped off, there is
not much likelihood Of the dirt getting
in where it will do harm. One of the
worst places is around the steering
knuckles. Because these do not re-
volve one might think wear would be
slight. but there is heavy load and
continual motion, even on straight
road, and it is low enough to be a sure
collector of dust, and mud. A constant
supply of heavy grease is needed to
