SCIENTIFIC learning has been en-
riched by Buster Keaton's dis
covery OF the origin of the kick,

tunes were being laid out for n Rex

was attracted TO a high, square-toed
boot.
why the straight tip on that
boot?" asked Buster.
That's gentleman's boot-they
made them square-toed so the gem
tility could boot their servants more
conveniently, explained the cos
tuner.
so they could kick them without

The use of dense smoke clouds by

screening battleships from the enemy.
has been practiced for long time.
Fast dcstroyers are usually employed
to lay the cloud OF heavy smoke,
which Is produced by regulating fuel
and draft In the main boilers. Recent
tests. however. have proved the
efficacy OF seaplanes In this respect.
In fact. the seaplane has at least two
advantages over the destroyer: 1t can

can regulate the height Of the screen
