Beaded lizards live in dry places,

the evening, says the Detroit News.
They lie asleep during the hottest

worms, centipedes, ants and other in
scots, as well as the eggs of frogs,
birds and other lizards.
In good times the extra nourish-
ment is stored up as fat In the tail.
When food Is scarce this fat can be
absorbed and carried to the hungry
cells through the blood, and thus the

The .Child's REGULAR Allowance

Angelo Patri, the famous educator,
says in the Delineator:
"Of course. it will not do to give
children money and allow them to use
it without the oversight of some older
person. When a child is. given his
first allowance, he should be given
an account book and taught how to
use it. Then father or mother or
whoever is in charge, should so over
the account every week cnd-not that
the child may be brought to task for
his spending but that he may be
helped to a wiser spending. Point out
where he spent too much and where
he might have spent more. Some
times saving money proves just as
wastcful in the long run as spending
it.
HE will make mistakes. That Is
his teachers opportunity. He gave
too much for this cause; he was short
on that one; he spent all he had for a
fishline-then he had no money for
books. He will learn under direction
to budget his allowance and live
within it.
when he spends wisely. praise him
and extend the field of his buying.
Teach him to lay aside a little to go
into the big bank each month. When
he does this out of his own money,
double his saving for him. Teach him
that his responsibilities and powers
will increase his judgment and COM
mon sense. Then he will be able to
handle his own expenses and make
few mistakes. Yes. think every child
should have an allowance.

ENGINEER ANGRY
BECAUSE CARS ARE
PARKED ON Cement

Preparations were made yesterday
Tor pouring the concrete in the un-
completed block at the entrance OF
Silver street and also on the east
side OF the street from Whitcomb's
to Silver street, all paving stones be-
Ing removed yesterday and the iron
relnforcements laid. When this work
is completed the south side of Tenn
pie street will be fixed, then the
Common will be attended to and the
last work to be done will be that
on the north side of Temple street.
City Engineer Crawford was pref
ty angry yesterday about the teams
and automobiles that had been using
the east side of the street from Ap-
pleton down to Temple, for parking.
and he has issued warnings to ali
drivers to keep off that stretch of
road until Saturday, when the con-
crete will be down two weeks and
then will be considered safe for au-
tomobiles to park.
The concrete calls for 1S DAYS to
allow 1t to set, but already teams
nave been using that side of the
street, Saturday a coal team driv-
ing in in front of the laundry with
a two-ton load of coal when the
concrete had been down only a
week. Mr.. Crawford declares that
the majority of the drivers have
been very patient with the work and
were more than willing to assist the
city officials and Mr.. Cyr in every
way but there were few who
seemed to be doing their best to
cause all the trouble possible.

Hen Turkey Mothers Rabbit

A prize natural history story" Is
reported from Ramona, California,
says the San Diego Union, which
gives as its authority, Charles F.
Wilken, turkey raiser, realtor, and
deputy county assessor. He says
that one of his hen turkeys moth
cred" a young cottontail rabbit. Ac-
cording to the report:
The hen turkey, wandering into a
eucalyptus grove on the farm, went
through the usual process Of hiding
her nest, and after a few days Will
ken investigated with view to get
ting the eggs and the benefit of her
services in the regular way.
The investigation was resisted with
vigor. Wilken, persisting, ran his
hand under the bird to ascertain the
number of eggs reposing in the nest,
felt something soft, causing him to
withdraw his arm, thinking that it
might be snake.
He then pushed the turkey of the
nest and found that she was lowering
and giving the best possible care to
tiny cottontail rabbit. He removed
the rabbit to an abiding place of a
litter, which had recently been usher
ed into the world on another part OF
the ranch.

Open-Top Hat Not Popular

age with new straw hat. minus the

HumiIiatinn A Movie Queen

In an article on the influence or
Hollywood, Katherine Fullerton Ger
ould writes in Harpers Magazine:
IL read-I cannot, of course, vouch
for the truth of it-that a we'll
known movie star (not yet twenty
years old) came recently. for the
first time in her life, to New York.
Her train slipped into the station
and she alighted. There were no
brass bands, no throngs of admiring
fans, to greet her; and out of sheer
surprise and disappointment-as
much surprise, I take it, as disap-
pointment-she wept. The tale is
amusing, is even, perhaps, rather en-
gaging; but all the same it is terrify-
ing, if one muses. for little on its
implication. A girl of nineteen or so,
of whom thousands of the most in
telligent American men and women
have never even heard, expected to
arrive in our greatest city and be
greeted as if she were Marshal Foch
or the President of the United States
as if, in other words, she had rem
dered heroic service to mankind, or
had been chosen by a great people to
control it's destinieS."

But the illusion glimmered out Of

First Tourist AGENCY

For the first known instance where
guide managers escorted parties of
travellers, for the origin Of the modern
tourist agency, one must harken back
over 1000 years.
In the Fifth century. B. c., when
Herodotus, the Greek historian, was
making his famous travels through
the Greek archipelago and into Africa
and Asia, the world was already con-
sidered by it's inhabitants to be quite
mature, indeed old. And the seat OF
antiquity was Egypt-for the pyra-
mids were already 5000 years old.
Every year great numbers Of trav-
elers, not pilgrims, but merely people
in search of enlightenment and Gull
ture, visited this seat of antiquity to
see the temples and the pyramids.
And to facilitate their travels, GER
tain priests or officials acted as
guides. They took whole parties and
attended to their housing and all
their Accommodations for the period Of
their journeying.

Complete One Side
New Road Going
Into Fairfield

People who travel on the road from
Waterville to Fairfield can now ride
on the new State road to Main street,
Fairfield. The street has been COM
pleted on the left side going up, as
far as the Fairfield stores. Con-
struction on the right hand side will
commence shortly. This piece of
road is undoubtedly the biggest i'm
provement in this vicinity for many
years. This past spring before the
construction work was begun, 1t was
almost impossible to travel on the
road at a speed exceeding 10 miles
per hour. Now 1t is a constant ne
cessity for the motorist to be ever
watchful of his speedometer, so
smooth and tempting is the highway.
One gentleman remarked yesterday
that when he came to the new sur
face on the road. his foot "just tin
gled," but the gentleman in question
is very level headed, and is. seldom
known to apply pressure to his ex-
celerator in places like this.
