But It's Too Much Work On a Lukewarm Day To Fol low the Reasoning Here; Don't Try It.

It isn't hot in the summer at all There is, strictly speaking, no such thing as heat or cold. It's just the way we consider things. An object than another object, but as far as it's being cold or hot We cannot call 1t exactly such.
 You may place one of your hands in cold water and the other at this same, time in hot water. In a short while place both hands in tepid water This water will feel warm to the hand rom the cold water and cool to the a person coming from the tropics to the United States considers our eli mate cool, while person coming from the Arctic regions to the United States considers our climate warm. 1t Is all a matter of relative degrees of heat.
 We all consider ice as being cold As a matter of fact ice contains heat. The reason is that ice contains less heat than most common objects we come in contact with. Only an ob- Eect at a temperature of 27S degrees below zero. Centigrade can be truly said to be cold, because at this tenn perature the object can contain abso- luteiy no hsat This temperature of However, temperatures within a de gree or so of absolute zero have been produced artificial1y

When the First National Caddies' Championship was originally dis cussed the question of expenses arose. for even caddies cannot remain amateurs if they take money for any, thing but caddying. So Charles Chick Evans, golf champion, for mer caddy and now a Chicago banker, agreed to talk off the expenses of the match, to be held at the Edge water Golf Club, Chicago, in Septem Der. Accordingly, he arranged to give golf lessons in talking machine rec ords, every cent thus received to go for the "Caddy Championship Fund. J So successful have been the records that enough money has been provided to send the five best caddy golfers through college, and golfers have gotten valuable hints from the noted player.

Bedtime Stories
A Whipped Young Fox
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Who cannot finish what he starts
Is aoise If he at. once departs.
Young Fox.

Farmer Browns Boy had been de-
tanned in the house longer than he
had expected to be. He came out Just
in time 60 see his two geese waddlins
straight toward where ne had that
young. Fox prisoner. For just a
second it seemed as if his heart
jumped right up in his throat. You
see, he knew just what that young
Fox would do if those geese got neas
enough TO him, With a shout he
started on run to try to head them
off.
But he was too late. Yes, sir, he
was too late. He had not taken more
than half dozen steps when he saw
that young Fox steal out of his house
and start u rush straight at the near
est of those geese. But right then
things happened so fast that all
Farmer Browns Boy could do was to
stand looking on. You see, the
gandes, az Nj. Goose is called. hadn't
waited for that young Fox to reach
Mrs. Goose. With terrible sound
ing hiss he had met that young Fox
half way and with blow from one
OF his big wings had knocked him
sprawling. Then before the young
Fox could get on his feet again Mr..
Soose was TlgnC over him.
Such a niix-up as there was. The
air seemed to be full of great wings
and darting heads, although, of
course. there really was only one
pair of wings and one head. Mr..
Goose may appear to be slow when
ne is waddling along, but there is
nothing slow about the way ne can
dart that head of his back and forth
and beat with those great wings.
The young Fox began to yelp. He
was yelping from both pain and
fright. Perhaps had he not been
chained he would have managed 10
have escaped sooner. As it was. he
would no sooner get half way on his
feet than he would be sent spraying
again 1t began to look to FarmeT
Browns Boy as if he would have Ia
interfere to save the young Fox from
that angry gander.
But at last the young Fox found q
chance TO get TO his feet and tooL
advantage of it. How he did rnnI
lie headed straight for his box, and
at his heels, kissing as only goas,
can hiss, raced the gander, aappine
his great wings to help him along'

RsUal for Valentines H0n0rs
Is Here, 30 and Unmarried

A new motion picture star Rlim-
mered robnstly over the Broadway
horizon yesterday. His temporary
name is Charles d'Authier de Roche
tort; he halls from France, looks like
Carpenter, does stunts like Doug Fair
banks, Is called the French Tom Nix
and is offered by the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation as the man who will
TAKE the mutinous Valentines place in
the hearts Of the fappers of these
United States. From casual inspection
we should say that he can do it If
anybody can.
Inc temporary name seems to call
Tor some explanation. It may be that
TO the astute heads of the Famous
Players corporation the name "dc
kochefort' had somewhat sinister
sound. Sooner or later somebody was
sure to pronounce it with the ."ch"
hard, as in rogue" and then the wise
crackers would be let loose. This may
not have been the reason at all, but Il
IS fact that the company which en-
gagged M. de Rochefort to take Vaien-
tino's place had announced him az

oversight neglected to notify their new
