Why Not Dynamite As Food, Asks
 Physician

ra, International N.w- Srryr,l
 NEW YORK. Nov. 2l-"Wny not dynamite as rood2"
 Dr. A. J. Barker. superintendent of a New York hospital, asking the ques- ton. Sheep glands and radium are recommended. Why not cxplosives?' ?'
 Commenting on an announcement from Chicago that a director of the Special Schools Department of the Board of Education of that city had made it known that sheep glands were to be fed abnormal children, Dr. Bar ker said:
 Sheep glands may be good food, but beefsteak is undoubtedly better. It looks as though recently men have been a little thoughtless about the limitations of modern therapeutic methods. For instance, radium being known to be of value in treating one class of disease, a doctor was led to prescribe it as food. Now that the ra- dium theory has been exploded by therapeutists comes the gland as food. and all because gland transplan. tations are believed by some to re- store physical and mental vgor."

AMERICAN CATE MAKES
 HIT WITH ENGLISH
,n. rat.r..soluI N,us s.rv.rD

NEW YORK. Nov. 2l. Although .a. gentle indoor pastime known as "African domiuocs" never did go very well in that dear London another American game of chance has invaded Whitcchaprl and piccadilly. This is the comparatively new American game of put and take" and American sail ors returning from England declare that "Takin' is the thing they are the fondcst of over there"
 Albert La Toy of the Cunard liner Bcrengaria. said the shillings and pounds are changing hands in greater number with the top than ever passed over the galloping dice. The top has also made its appearance in Paris. ac- cording to La Toy, and the putters and takers are important factors in the night life of the gay French capi- tai

TOP SAYS PUT" TOO MUCH

Somehow, when I play put and take over there, that darned top cant say anything but put" said La Toy. The English never did quite fancy shooting craps. They never could learn the slang of the game.
 The top got the boys dizzy around Southampton and Liverpool. Pretty soon the shops got them. and now everybody, rich and poor are slaves to the whirl-gambling device.
 "One reason the English like the top is because the player doesn't have to do any talking. The top does that. All you do is listen and smile-or weep"
 Along the waterfront at Liverpool and Southampton, he said, it is a common sight to see a group of port workers and sailors spinning the little top. At Cherbourg, France, little punches of Frenchmen congregate to tempt the Goddess of Chance as rep. resented by the put and take" top.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Music may have charms to sooth the savage beast" but you cant prove it by the dcnizens of the Bronx Zoo.
 Three members of a Broadway mu- sical comedy company had the hunch they would like to try out their vocal talents on the city-fed animals They wanted to prove to their own satisfaction that the beasts of the junglr could appreciate their warb- ling fully as well as the denizens of Broadway. They received the ncc- o-sary permission from the zoo di- rector and started to do their stuff. lI was huge succcss-with the singers. So far as effect upon the animals was concerned, however. they might just as well have eXpounded 'cljd or Einstein.

requires four heart-shaped bean-bags
with circular center openings Gig. p,
and pair of stakes Gig. ~. Figure

the bean-bags. Cut two pieces of this

the beans. When the bag has been
filed solid, sew up the opening.
The stakes are made as shown in
Fig. 5, with a base CAY, pencil up

base, and spool (C). Glue the pencil
in the hole, and glue the spool both to
the pencil and base for a brace.

quoits, and, standing behind one Of the
