Reached for Hip Pockets.

Making Of moving pictures is rather
q novelty In Arizona, and Bisbee resi-
dents have difficulty In getting used to
seeing gaudily dressed western bad
men" rushing around with artillery
strapped on their belts.
Some Of the real old-time western
ers are apt to jump to the wrong con-
clusion when a movie westerner" goes
On the warpath. For this reason a
moving picture company, planning to
stage holdup scene at the depot at
Osborn, eight miles south of here, had
the train crew warn passengers no less
than ten times before reaching the sta
ton that a movie train robbery"
would be staged. In spite Of this sew
eral old-timers on the train reached
for their hips when the bandits" ap-
peared and had to be convinced by
fellow passengers that the holdup was
not the real thing.-Los Angeles

GOSSIP FORM OF INSANITY
City Authorities Who Have Dealt
With the Problem Are Strongly
Of That opinion.

Men and women who gossip, said
DIR. e. H. Bullock of Chicago, city
health director, cannot be In their
right mind, and should be given the
closest attention to get them back to
normal. They have been called "as-
sassins of character" and E. G. B.
Jenkins, a psychologist and secretary
to the board Of police commissioners,
Chicago says, in the Detective, Febru-
airy, 1921, that the neighborhool gossip
and the anonymous letter writer have
one of the nastiest, lowest and most
vicious forms Of insanity known to
medical circles. Their distorted imag-
nation visualizes scenes which they
would have come true, and their in
sane mind Immediately grasps the
story and they repeat it as If 1t were
true.
Gossip and anonymous letters, says
the New York Medical Journal, are
constant pest at police headquarters,
but reports registered with police OFF,
GERS In an attempt to injure character
by these means or false telephone
reports are failure; in fact, the po-
lice take more pleasure in tracking the
informer than the one informed
about.

EXPLOSIONS.

Volcanic explosions are commonly
regarded as the release of stores of
energy kept confined by external pres
sure, and boiler explosions and geyser
eruptions are typical of this class of
outbreaks. An expert of the United
States geophysical laboratory finds
that another class of explosions, that
of explosive mixtures like gunpowder,
are not likely to occur in volcanoes.
But third class, that of explosive
compounds brought into contact with
oxygen or water, is more probably
the usual source of volcanic explo-
sions, and is Illustrated by aluminium
sesquioxide - finely divided - brought
into such relation with water in the
electric furnace that mechanical deto-
nation causes violent explosion. The
dust of Mont Pelee may have been
analogous to the aluminium sesqui-
oxide.

Useful on a Long Walk.

Natures most ardent lovers canno.
enjoy long tramp over hills, heids
and country roads, If blister on the
foot has presented itself. A simple
remedy, often marvelously beneficial
comes from the old country, merely
the use of a cabbage leaf. Cut piece
of the cool leaf larger than the painful
area. Then place it over the spot ana
fix down the borders with stamp pa
per. If the cabbage plaster is applied
fiat it will not seriously hamper the
putting on Of the stocking and shoe. A
wonderful sense of relief is expert
enced, and it is possible to continue
the walk without pain. OF course II
little rest can be taken after the cab
bage leaf has been placed on the pain
full part so much the better.

KEEP FLIES AWAY

Poison or spray will help keep the
flies away! "A good fly poison can
be made from a mixture of sugar,
formalin and water" says DR.. F. b.
Hadley of the veterinary science de-
partment of the University of WIS
consin. "The sugar is dissolved in
the water and ten per cent of COM
mercial formalin added. This is to be
rlaced in open dishes readily access
ible to flies. OF course, quicker re-
suits follow if the flies do not have
access to other drink" DR.. Hadley
recommends a mixture consisting OF
1 pound common laundry soap, A gal
Ions warm water, / gallon crude pet
roleum and 4 ounces of powdered nap
thalin as a spray to keep flies from
Fostering cattle. Shave the soap in
to warm water and stir until thor
oughly dissolved. Then pour the two
mixtures together and mix thorough
ly. This fly repellant should be ap-
piled in the form of spray just be-
fore the cows are to be MIXED. 1t
will be found fairly effective but one
should not expect any mixture, that
can be applied with safety, to work
a miracle.

Latest in Slang.

The next time you are threatened
with legacy, don't cross your fingers
When you have on your best frock,
and want to keep the rain god In
happy mood, don't carry an umbrella.
If you tear your Sunday trousers
climbing a barbed wire fence don't say
"Ishkabibble."
OF course you have to say some
thing, when you are surprised, or
pleased, don't give hang, doubtful,
amazed or vexed. However, instead
of the proverbial "go. on" damn,
"Geminy," I'VE gods" and others, the
Chinese have provided a new word
which is being taken up by the smart
est buds from coast to coast, and the
beauty Of it Is that you can express
any emotion under the sun with just
this one word, "Moskee."
So ,"Moskee" it is now, no matter
what happens, If you want to be right
there with the last word In proper
slang. 1t suits any situation, SO don't
fear. Use 1t whenever and wherever
you like. 1t means just whatever you
want it to mean.

SEE EXHAUSTION or RADlURl
Many Authorities Believe There Will
Be None Remaining in About
Twenty-Five Years.

Some authorities predict that, rs
years from now, there will be no ra-
dunn left In the world. BY that time,
1t is claimed. all available ores of this
wonderful mineral will have been used
up.
The so-called radium emanations are
supposed to be electrified particles
though just what these particles are
nobody knows. They do not seem to
be identifiable as any kind of matter.
But after being given off. they cease
to be electrically charged and assume
the form Of helium.
Here Is case altogether extra0r-
binary, in which one element is actual
ly transmitted into another element-a
phenomenon which has hitherto been
thought impossible.
Helium was first discovered In the
sun. 1t was later found in our own
atmosphere, which contains a minute
percentage Of II. Natural gas from
some wells in Texas and elsewhere
yields considerable quantities of it
SO much in certain instances that, be-
ing noninflammable, 1t renders the gas
less useful as fuel.
Is it to be imagined that all Of the
existing helium was originally derived
from radium? Nobody can answer
that question.

KILLED WIFE TO END AGONY
HrIton Gsssed Woman He Loved, In
eurably III, and Then Ended
His Own Life.

1.-THE doctor gives anesthesia to
hopeless agony. The soldier spares a
thrust or a shot to writhing COM
rade. Any decent man shoots his
women folk to save them from dis
honor"
Such was the explanation made by
E. r. Eardley for killing himself and
his wife In their little cottage at
scarborough, says an English ex-
change.
Mrs. Eardley was hopeless invalid,
and her disease had developed to the
point where 1t became necessary to
place her In home for the mentally
afflicted. In the letter from which
the extracts above are made, Eardley
said:
"For two years now my wife has
lived in hourly torment. Her condi-
lion crows daily worse. can do moth
ing more for her; my will to live and
win is broken. There is nothing be-
fore her but the madhouse. without
even the alienation I have been able
to bring.
However human law may regard
the matter. my conscience justifies
me; indeed, l should live coward in
my own esteem If failed her In this
extremity"
Even In his sorrow Eardley thought
of those who would discover the trag-
edy, and in the letter he wrote to the
friend telling him Of his determine
tion, he added:
'The bodies Of myself and my dear
wife will be found together in the lit
tie dressing room. Great care must
be taken In entering the house; the
dressing room and communicating
bedroom will be full Of gas"
After hearing all the testimony and
the reading Of the letter the jury
found that the dead man took his
own life and that Of his wife while ne
was temporarily of unsound mind ana
added an expression Of sympathy with
the relatives.

MAY COOL HOMES IN SUMMER
HUNGARIAN Engineer Has Designed
Evaporation Scheme to Regulate
Temperature.

Americans may soon be living In
''ice houses"
The houses will not be the kind in
which ice is stored, but new type
of dwelling designed by Leopold Pol
lax, an engineer and constructor, OF
Budapest, Hungary. He is contem-
plating building a house manufacture
ing plant In Philadelphia so that the
public will have place to escape the
sweltering heat without trekking
shoreward or northward.
Mr. Pollak said that the houses will
be made of infusorial earth and COW
cred with porous bricks. In appear
ance they will be similar to those
used by the natives of South America,
who use monkey jugs" or water bot
ties made of pottery, to cool their
homes.
The South American natives place
In each corner of room a water jug,
and in a few moments the room is
cooled by evaporation. Mr.. Pollak
does not go into detail about his new
plan, but states that he can regulate
the cooling of house in summer in
a similar manner as that of heating
the same building In winter. He said
he can make a home as cool as an ice
cellar on the hottest day in the year
at cost Of approximately 10 cents
a day.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

MARKETING EGGS

Polk County egg producers are con-
sidering movement to take eggs out
of the trading stock class. The plan
provides for the cash payment for
fresh eggs at any store in the county
as soon as the scheme is put into OPP
Grafton. The storekeepers of the coun-
ty expect to candle the eggs each ev-
ening and to send them promptly to
the local creamery. The following
morning they will receive their checks
and the eggs will be sent to eastern
markets along with the butter. No
pretense will be made of selling in
cartons with size, weight or color.
The eggs will be fresh and of guaran-
teed quality. Why can't Pierce coun-
ty accept similar way of marketing
its eggs?
