After Dinner Trick S

No. 243-The Balanced Quarter
A handkerchief is folded twice. so
that it forms a square-one quarter of
its normal size. A twenty five cent
piece is laid upon the handkerchief
The problem is to lift the handker-
chief, with the coin on it, in such a
manner that the coin stands on edge.
The spectators cannot figure how to
do the trick. but it is really quite
simple. Take hold of the folded hand
kerchief by the corners diagonally oppo-
site, and lift. the handkerchief, stretch
ing it at the same time. A sharp
crease will be formed diagonally across
the handkerchief, in which the quarter
stands upon its edge

COMPLIMENTS NOT


APPRECIATED
1t is safe to predict that the candi-
date for supervisor in Los Angeles
county who used up the larger portion
of time allotted to him on the program
of the Woman City club, i'll comph-
mentng the women and saying soft
nothings to them, will not get pre-
ponderance of the votes of the audi
ence he was addressing.
They wanted to know what claims he
had for their votes. When he was
through and ready to slide out, the
presiding officer and others began a
rapid fire questioning on such ques-
tions as the eighteenth amendment,
Wright bill, and other matters in which
the women of California are interest
ed. Evasive answers of the candidate
did not satisfy, and one has commented
on the episode to the effect that If
men are taking it for granted that
woman suffrage means nothing to Cal
ifornia and other states more than an
increase in the number of votes east,
they are making mistake. Club lead
ers are saving over and over again:
"When it is a question of morality or
one that effects women and children,
act promptly and decisively; weigh
carefully all other measures and candi-
dates for office, and above all keep
judgment enthroned at all times.

FOR THE UNFORTUNATE
WHO CAN NOT HEAR WELL

An effort is being made by the Los
Angeles League of the Hard of Hearing
to raise funds for the establishment ot
clubhouse i'll which resident and
tourists in that city who are handi'
capped by impaired hearing may meet
in an atmosphere of helpful fellowship.
New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco
and other first class cities have such
cluhhouses and the promoters of the
scheme in Los Angeles will try to put
their city in line with others of its
standing. AS hundreds of people come
there to enjoy its climate, many of
them hard of hearing, it is expected
the campaign for funds for the club
house will appeal to the East as we'll
as to the West. 1t is estimated that
So 900 will be needed to lease and equip
the clubhouse and to put the organiza-
tion promoting it ON firm basis.
