NeUs Notes

Mrs. George II. Summers was the
guest Of the Gary Woman's Club on
Monday afternoon and heard a very
fine lecture by Mrs. Mary Antone on
her seven years in India.
The Congregational Mems club held
their resular meeting Monday evening
in the church parlor. Walter Pfeil Of
the Hubbard Steel, gave an interesting
talk on the present Of Eur
ope. dwelling especially on the financial
outlook. As one followed Mr.. Pfeil in
the history or his travels. III the diff
ferent countries he passed through he
was forced to believe thai Europe is
fast returning to a more FORMAL con-
dition. In Germany the working class
seem contented and prosperous as they
receive a fair wage and are working
full time. One of the interesting facts
brought out was the purchasing power
Of American money. Mr. PEEL stated
that for fifteen or twenty cents Of our
money. one could purchase a good meal.
According to Mr.. Pfeil the devastated
regions are fast building UP Those
present were well repaid for their time
as the talk was both interesting and
educational. At the close of the speak
ing a fine lunch was served BY the La
dies Aid. Two fine soio- were rendered
by Otto Seifert. accompanied by Leo
nard Smith. The next meeting viii be

Air Necessary for Human Liz.

Every time W. breathe, we draw
thirty cubic inches Of air into our
lungs; supposing that we take fifteen
breaths a minute for the t%wenty-four
hours of the day, we use no less than
$4,000 cubic inches of air, which
would weigh over thirty pounds. One
days supply of air for one human
being would be sufficient to fill 1925
two-gallon cans; a years supply
would weigh more than five tons.
From these figures It may be seen
how necessary 1t is to keep windows
onen so that there may be a continu-
Gus supply Of fresh air.
