Passing of the Cousin. {

Cousins seem to be much less in eyi-
dence than they once we're. i can re-
member when everybody not only had
cousins but addressed thsmsasr cousin,
says writer in Golfers. 1t was
cousin Fred, doghaxe more aspara-
gus, or ''How are Cousin Jim's
hiyesY' Today one, seldom hears q
cousin referred q to as such. Many
thoughtful persons sdo NOT even know
who theirs cousins Aare. Ner',do they
care. Sometimes I wonder If the cousin
business won't peter out entirely. The
chances are that this will be an i'm.
provement. Most people get sick and
tired OF having relatives thrust upon
them and would like their cousins bet.
ter Just as friends rather than kins.
folk. This Isl equally true of brothers
and sisters. ! am fond of my brother,
not because he Is my brother but In
spite Of the fact. He often takes ad.
vantage OF being my brother to become
familiar, critical and irritating. 1t is
as q fellow human being that he is
most agreeable.

cuckoo LAYS smallest Boo.

The ostrich, of all e2tant birds, lays
) the largest egg in actual dimensions.
Relatively to its sizes. however, the
hwi, strange wingless New Zealand
species, is the champion. with an egg
not less than FIVE inches long, al.
though the extreme length of the bird
itself is only q inches.
The smallest birds eggs are those
Of the minuter, species Of humming
birds. Nevertheless, fha cuckoo lays
the relatively smallest Eegs. Though
the jackdaw and thea cuckoo are Of
the same size, the formers egg is five
or six times larger than the latter's.
The fact that the cuckoo.-5is aecus-
toned to- deposit its eggs in the nests
of other birds. usually much smaller
than itself, doubtless accounts for
this phenomenon.

For Men Only! ?s s: % ;:': %z :
OF DISTINCT TYPE
Hawaiian Volcanoes Ere Unique
in Many Respects.
No Explosive Eruptions, Such as That
of Vesuvius, Which Destroyed
Pompeii and Herculaneun.

The activity of Kilauea, volcano or
Hawaii, is interesting more for the
character of the eruption than for any
other phenomenon. The popular de-
scription of the volcano as "a mount
tain which emits fire, smoke ana
ashes" was long ago discarded.
The mountain, or cinder cone, is not
the volcano; it is the product of many
eruptiOnS. The fire is the glare OF
white hot lava dust blown into minute
particles by explosive steam. In gen.
eral volcanic eruption is a tremen-
dous steam explosion. The mingled
steam and dust shot mile-or more IN
to the air resembles smoke in appear
ance. Frequently they form cumu-
lus cloud from which pour torrents OF
rain.
The eruption of Kilauea, the most
active and also the most famous of
Hawaiian volcanoes, exhibits none OF
these features. Kilauea is a pit crater,
about eight miles around, in lava
field not quite 5000 feet above sea
level. The walls o. the crater are all
the way from 100 to 600 feet high,
measured from the crater floor ss
At times, indeed most of the time,
the crater floor is like the surface of
frozen lake. Then, with scarcely
warning, the floor melts and the crater
Is q lake Of molten lava. Occasionally
the level of the lava rises until it flows
over the lowest notch in the rampant
wall. Then a stream, which may be a
tremendous flood, flows away toward
the sea.
That is an eruption Of Kilauea, or Of
it's nearby neighbor Mokuaweoweo, at
the summit Of Mama Loa, more than
two miles above Sta level. Explosive
eruptions, like those of VeSuvius. may
have occurred within historic times,
but the record of them does not ap-
pear, except as boulder-like masses Of
!, lava and great fragments of pumice
in the vicinity indicate them. Tremen-
dous force is required to push col
umn Of lava to- the crater floor of
Kilauea half mile higher than the
summit OF Fesuvius; still greater
force to push up to the floor Of Moku-
awoweo, nearly two miles higher.
Perhaps the expenditure of force in
pushing the lava to such great heights
may explain why there are no explos-
i've features about Hawaiian volcanoes.
They stand strongly defined as type
by themselves. Nevertheless, the sue
cessive eruptions have built Hawaii
atop the rain clouds, Spreading it over
an area as large as Connecticut.

"Tbe Grace of God"

Grace Of God is an expression from
the writings Of st. Paul, who fire.
quently used the term grace In the
sense of a gift which enables those
who have it 20 do that which they
could not do without it. The Church
of England and the Protestant Epis-
copal church in the United States
teach that grace is the assistance
given by God to ,stasss:who believe in
Him, so that they may please Him
and keep His commandments. The
Roman Catholic church teaches that
for all acts conducive to salvation the
inner grace OF the Holy Spirit is nee
essary. :,

Blue Heron Feeds on Fish.


Some persons call the great blue
heron "squawk-bird," because OF its
peculiar call, whieHss squawk'
Others call 1t a crane" 1t is more
water-bird than crane, however, and
feeds largely on fish.
In the spots from which he mas not
yet been driven by man and his var
ious noises and methods of 6estruc-
ton, the heron is an Industrious and
patient hunter. He stalks silently
about, or stands rigidly for long per-
iods at a time watching his chances
to make a swift and sure lunge with
his beak for frog, a fish, reptile, OF
even an occasional mouse.

NEW BUICK ROADSTER HIT AT
NEW YORK AUTO SHOW: BIG
PRODUCTION PLANNED

In a message received from E. t.
Strong, general sales manager of the
Buick Motor Co., now attending the
New York automobile show he says;
mo greater evidence of the fact
that the name Buick has come to mean
to the motoring public car of cor
rectness in design, accuracy and EN-
cheney in manufacture and a lasting
motoring service than the tribute that
is being paid to the Buick exhibit at
the show this year by Buick owners
and admirers from all points of the
globe.
1T is the biggest and best show
ever held and Buick dealers are pres
ent in large numbers. The Buick
booth is the center of attraction and
dealers seem to be impressed with the
fact that it would be advisable for
them to assure themselves of all the
cars they will need for spring deliv-
cry.
THE demand for the new special
6-54 roadster is so great that 1t IS
doubtful whether we will be able to
overtake it.
In this respect the show exceeds
all our expectations. This new road
ster has been acclaimed the hand
soonest car at the show and throng
Of admirers constantly surround it.
This new special roadster was de-
signed to give to those who desired
it a car of handsome, snappy appear
ance. with all the superior mechanical
qualities that Buick cars have been
noted for during the past 20 years and
the tidal wave of approval with which
it is meeting proves that we have hit
the mark.
1.-THE public is the court of last
resort in deciding the merits OF mo-
tor car. for they have acquired sense
If values in automobiles equal to
that which they possess of other pro-
ducts and it is more than gratifying
to note the esteem in which Buick
cars are held by all who attend the
show
Buick is not at the show in an eff
Fort to nrove the merit of its product
Tor Buick merit has already been es-
tablished years ago. We are not in
he market with a new and untrled
product Buick has made good. The
Buick is not an experiment. Past
performance is more valuable than
uture promises and one only needs
O hear the hundreds of Buick own
ers constantly grouped around the
Buick exhibit at the show praising
heir Bucks and telling of wonder
ul performances to realize that Buick
motor cars have become the standard
Of motor car values.
"The new low prices of the 1922
Buick models recently announced
were based on factory capacity pro-
duction during the coming months
and taking the New York show as a
criterion it is safe to say that the
Buick will again experience this
spring the same difficulty it has ex-
perienced in previous years of sup
plying a sufficient number of cars to
meet the demand.

CANCER GREATLY AIDED BY RAD

CASES ONCE THOUGHT HOPELESS
NOW LIVING FREE FROM SYMP-

Atlantic City, Jan. 27.-Declaring
that, while apparent cures of cancer
had been effected through the use OF
radium and the X-rays, DR.. James T.
Case, of Battle Creek, Mich, held that
sufficient time had not elapsed to show
whether or not permanent cure had
been established. DR.. Case was the
principal speaker at this afternoons

considered cured until five years have
elapsed. None of the cases treated with

three years old, but after that period
there are between 20 and 25 per cent.

are alive and free from symptoms"
lie stated that reports from Ger
many were to the effect that remark
able results were being obtained by
the use of radium and the X-ray. In
this country, with better machines,
surgeons are giving stronger treat
ments than before safely.
We are beginning to get results
which from the standpoint of relief
of symptoms are better than ever be
fore; in many cases it looks like an ac-
tual cure" he concluded.
DR.. Charles A. Walters, assistant
Roentgenologist at Johns Hopkins

X-ray treatment of infected tonsils and
adenoids had proved remarkably sue
cessful. Tonsils so swollen that the
throat nearly had been closed had
shrunk almost to normal, he said.
