Catch Faint Sounds.

The air was full of talk and music
countless centuries before man invent
ed wireless broadcasting. Any number
Of other creatures when we never hear
and never can hear are busy talking to
each other.
All sound comes to the human ear in
the form of vibration. Our ear is SO
constructed that 1t can catch only 4
range of seven octaves of sound, con-
shutting 80 to 10000 vibrations Sec
ond.
Dogs, cats and many other creatures
can hear a lot OF sounds that we. miss.
Take your dog out for walk by the
side Of a wood at night and see how he
keeps pricking up his ears as he hears
noises too indefinite for the human ear
TO catch.
Watch two cats in room. One will
suddenly cock an ear. turn It's head
and listen. A moment later it win sud-
denly get up and cross the room.
For some reason woman's ear can
catch higher pitched sound than a
mans. A woman can often hear bats
high note, for instance, that is inaudi-
BILE to a man.

CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Shown Which Enabled Young
People to Succeed.

Teams of young Iowa farmers and
future home makers gave demonstra-
tons in u booths In the boys and
girls clubs building at the Interstate
fair at Sioux City, Iowa, last Septem.
Der. Through the cooperation of the
extension services of II participating
states, the fair association, and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, not only were club products ex-
Inhibited, but representative teams
showed the methods which had en-
abled them to succeed in winning the
highest ranks among the 10000 club
members in all the sNorth Central
states participating.
They demonstrated butter and
cheese making, caring for milk, max
ing milk drinks; steps in successful
poultry raising; baking bread; can
ming fruit and vegetables; making
clothing-carefully showing each step
of these various processes The IL
booths illustrated 70 lines of club
work-corn, poultry, pigs, potatoes,
sheep, dairying, canning, home ar
rangement and decoration. bread, food,
clothing and handicraft. The value of
club products in the - states in 1921
was 5000, O00-a striking contribu-
ton for these boys and girls to make
to the agriculture of their states.

Woman chooses Husband.

While in some parts Of the great In
dian empire the Hindu wife is SO sub
jected to her husband that she is not
supposed to sit at table with him
or even look him. in the face, in the
province of Travancare, on the other
hand, "matriarchy," or the rule of
woman, survives almost in it's pure
state.
In marriage the woman chooses her
husband and he comes to her house to
live, says the Detroit News. Until
quite recently she could dismiss and
divorce him whenever she felt like it.
Now. however, divorce is by mutual
consent. The woman is the head of the
family. She owns property in her own
right. When she dies her property
passes on to her children, but that of
her husband on his death passes on to
his mothers nearest Kin.
There are no child marriages in
Travancare, such as prevail through
out the rest Of India, where there are
millions of child widows. This prov
ince has less illiteracy than any other
state in India. Its people claim they
are the most progressive, prosperous
and happy in all India.

HIS FIRST USE OF THE RAZOR
Time When Parents, and Everybody
Else, Should Carefully Refrain
From Making ANY Comment.


When young men enter the period of
learning how to shave, some mothers
and fathers make the mistake of trying
TO help them along, of trying to ease
their suffering little here and there.
But that is time wasted. Young men
III that period of life cannot be reached
with kind words or soft ministrations.
Johnny Mcfarland was told one day
by his older sister--eleven months
older in years, and therefore about
eight years older in her own opinion
that If he did not start shaving imme-
diately she would run away from home
or something. Johnny replied that If
he thought anything he did would have
any such pleasant effect he would
promptly do 1t, then went upstairs and
began to look at his chin in the looking
glass and finally locked the bathroom
door. lathered himself up with his ia
TIERS shaving soap, took his fathers
old-fashioned razor and carved off
piece of his face that would have salts
fed Shylock and perhaps even made
him reckon that he had turned over d
bit on the deal on the side.
That was Tuesday, says the New
York Sun.
On wednesday he came Home from
school at noon and picked fight with
his sister over nothing and talked her
right down into crying spell, while
his father stood right there beside him
and kept saying, "See here, now! See
here. now See here, now pa unique
and remarkable achievement, taking It
all in all.
Thursday he came home in the mid
die of the afternoon with a safety ra-
zor He started right in shaving and
he shaved of and on until six o'clock.
He shaved Off most Of his profile and
left ON most Of his hair. At the table
his sister chaffed him gently about
landscape gardening and ditch digging
and one thing and another, but instead
Of his rising up and doing something
awful, as his father expected him to
do under the circumstances, he just sat
there in his chair and did nothing save
eat piece Of celery and gaze up over
his sisters head, through the wall, and
on into the middle Of next week, as II
| he were foolish.
Friday he
But he went on like this for week.
No need to dwell on the morbid details.
He got over it after that and his mind
cleared up. and so far as his folks
could see was not weakened any to
! speak Of. But if he had fallen in love
right after learning how, to shave ne
would have been gonner-hls mind
would certainly never have got through
| that, too.

clude not only dirt and bacteria but
also havors and odors, which 1t read

from foods Of strong OdOr, such as
onions, cabbage or fish. Bottled milk
should be kept in the bottle in which
1t Is delivered until needed for use.
Serving milk on the table in the orig
inal bottle is sanitary. The mouth Of
the bottle should be cleaned carefully
before the milk IL poured from 1t, and
only what is needed for immediate use
should be poured out. The bottle
should be- kept covered with aspaper

never be mixed with old unless it Is to
be used at once; the old milk is likely
to contain larger number Of bacteria.

BAD BRAKES ARE
CAUSE OF FINES
New York Magistrate Deter
mined Motorists Shall Be
Ready for Any Emergency.

"a man driving an automobile which
has defective brakes is as much an
enemy of society as gunman," de-
sclared Magistrate Simms in the New
York City Traffic court when he I'M
posed fines ranging from $25 to $50
each on motorists who were arrested
BY the brake inspection squad Of the
department of public safety. The fines
were paid by the prisoners who were
convicted Of operating pleasure cars,
taxicabs and motor trucks with bad
brakes. In imposing the fines, the
court warned the accused that sec
ond conviction would mean term in
the Workhouse.
Result of Accidents.
The department of public safety is
engaged in a city-wide campaign to
induce motorists to give necessary
attention to brakes. This drive is a
result of an epidemic of automobile
accidents which caused more than a
dozen deaths in one week. The brake
inspection squad is operating in every
borough of Greater New York. Officers
use automobiles and watch Others.
When a machine is seen to be using
brakes that have not been adjusted
it is halted and the brakes are in
spected. If they are in bad condition
the driver is given a summons to APP
pear in traffic court where Magistrate
Simms is imposing heavy fines and
al for off
Due to Bad Brakes.
Results of the recent investigation
In the Borough of Brooklyn show that
80 per cent of all auto accidents are
due to bad brakes. Several cities have
sent safety experts to ascertain the
methods employed in New York TO
curb this evil. AT least dozen other
municipalities have inaugurated brake
inspection campaigns which have re-
suited in decrease in the number of
accidents.
The New York city brake inspection
work is being conducted under the di-
rection of Marcus Dow, president of
the National Safety council, which re-
Gently made public statistics showing
that more than 1900 persons were
victims of automobile accidents in this
country last year.
At present police officers connected
), with the department of public safety
are delivering series of lectures on
brake adjustment at daily meetings
of motorists held in public garages,
schools, and before civic associations.
