WHY?
why do Lobsters Turn Red When Boiled7
CopyrishA 1880. b.
wheeler syndicate 1nn

Many persons, unfamiliar with the
natural color of the lobster, are under
the impression that the bright red OF this
shell fsh is its ordinary hue. But those
who have seen living Holsters orcnes which
have not been cooked, are familiar with
the dull green tint, reminiscent of the
salt water in which they live.
The marked change in appearance when
the crustacean is put into boiling. water
il due to chemical action induced by the
heat. The brownish gree nof the shell turns
first TO a red brown and then to bright
fiery red-an alteration which is analogous
TO that which may be noted when the
flesh of animals is boiled or otherwise
cooked. Here, however, the change is in
the opposite direction. The blood-red
tinee darkens and becomes finally dull
hfeless brown, thus completely reversing
the operation which takes place in con-
nection with the shell of the lobster.
Nature, which protects living things
in various ways, has provided the lob
ster with another defense against it's
enemies, in addition to the large and for
midable claws. The greenish tint Of its
shell blends in with the surrounding water
and renders it practically invisible, while
If red were its natural color, it could easily
be distinguished, and attacking it would
be a simple matter.

WEIRD GHOST STORY.
Mysterious Object influencing Colored
Help on Eastern shore.

Cambridge, Md, Jan. 2S-House-
keepers of Cambridge, who have their
own dishes to wash after supper while
their colored help 60 serer ely home be-
fore dark, are blaming their troubles
on ghost" that is frequentir & the Park
Lane section Of the colored district.
The story is that the ghost " appears
sometimes a. goat and sometimes rs
a KAY garoo; that it is visible but in
tangible; that people have shot at it
point-blank without killing it; that
men have come so close to it they could
put their arms around its neck only to
hud il vanish from their grasp and sight.
The less imaginative Of the colored
people on Park Lane and the avenues
adjacent maintain that there is no ghost,
but man who, they aver, has thrown
bricks at some Of the women living in that
section.

BORROWING.
Borrowing money has two sides, like a
lot of other thir gs, one bad and one good.
A girl is justified in borrowing money
where she can offer security If she needs
such morey to help in bel. education,
and therefore in increasing her earning
power, in making a start IN legitimate
business for which she has prepared and
which she can prove has a definitely sound
basis for success She is justified in bor-
rowing in cases of sudden illness or ca
lamity. But she should give security IN
bank lin which case she would have TO
give it) or from friend, who perhaps will
refuse such security. She should never
accept this refusal. If the girl has no as
sets that can be turned over, she must
pledge a certain amount of hersincome

At the adionrned town meeting held

At the adjourned town meeting held Monday, at the town hall, it was voted to raise for town expenses 30 mills on a dollar, with grand list of $3O2,-, O65. During the year 1920 a large mart of the debt was paid. While the net debt figured up about $375.OO on Oct. 1st, 1920, the actual financial con- dition seemed to call for enough of tax this year to really clean up all indebtedness, and start the next year with a small working balance. Many recall a few years ago when che town was out of debt, and had 5000 on deposit in a savings bank.
 F. A. Moore and A. M. Heck were overhauling town tools and road ma chinery at the monthly meeting Of the selectmen, and it looks as though our city cousins were going to know that Union is on the map this year when they hit the Union roads. MT, Moore went at a few old mud holes last fall, and used the stone walls along the highway to fill. Fred IS living on the farm that has been in the Moore family for three genera tions, and says it's a mighty good place to live in and we think he is going to help make the town as whole on the same style.
 The bill before the present legisla- ture in relation to the burning of all brush cut along the highway, and ot burning all tops from numbering Op- erations along the highways, or the property of another, for forty feet back, is pronounced good by lumber men here in town, and especially men who have fought forest fires in the past. The selectmen have appointed H. R. Howard town fire warden and the deputies appointed are F. A Moore, R. A. Pathway, Wallace Good hall, Thos. Harman, Jr., George w Thayer, R. c. Barrows, Nelson Horton A. M. Heck and MyrOn Heck. No for est fires occurred in Union in 1920.
