Thought for Next Day
Has No Place in Congo

In many parts of the Congo horses
are unknown and the natives are as
terrified at them as at an elephant or
a hippo, says Nine. Gabrielle NJ. Vas
sal in the London Graphic.
Though the food ration Of the Congo
natives is most frugal, consisting
chiefly of manioc, it is at least regu-
lar. and in this starving country is the
chief attraction to them and keeps
them as a whole cheerful and healthy.
The Congo population is always
hungry, if not starving; it is impos-
slble to sound the depths of their lazi-
ness and want of thrift. They never
think of the next day. When they
are paid they buy a white helmet, a
tweed cap or a knitted ta~m-o-shanterr
though their thick frizzled hair really
needs no covering. The reason for can
nibalism in the Congo is hunger more
than anything else, says Nine. Vassal

North Pole Receives
Full Share of Heat

The North pole, it is said, receives
more heat than the equator. OF
course, each hour of sunlight brings
more heat to the equator, but the
hours of sunlight each day increase
in number the farther one goes north.
Therefore, while the sun is shining
the arctic receives more hours of sun
light a day than does the equator and
altogether 1t gets more heat, says the
Detroit News.
AS one goes north the length of
day increases more rapidly than the
amount of heat per hour decreases.
Conseq GENTLY, although the heat per
hour received at Winnipeg, Canada,
is less than at New Orleans, the
amount of heat received per day Is
greater. That is one reason why In
July Winnipeg is frequently hotter
than New Orleans. For about five
weeks every summer more heat per
day is received from the sun on a
square mile in the arctic than at the
equator. However, the winters at the
North pole would be as hot as the
equator. However, the winters at the
pole are long and a great deal of
cold is stored up in the ice mass. This
neutralizes the downpour of heat from
the summer SUI

Curious Beliefs Held
BY Trinidad NafiUes

port of Spain is the principal city
of the island of Trinidad in the West
Indies and is the most colorful and
cosmopolitan city in the world" says
an American citizen, who has returned
to his native land for a visit after an
absence of two years, according to the
Detroit News. 'The streets of Port of
SPAIN" he says, present the appear
ance of a strange pageantry, so varied
are the people. Ssangest of all are
the native black people. Here you Will
see nose rings and all sorts of weird
STYLES in hairdressing. They are so
fond of bracelets that their forearms,
from wrist to elbow, are completely
covered with all sorts of metal cir
clets. Nor is it unusual to see their
lower limbs adorned in the same
fashion.
"All our servants are these black
people. They are excellent servants,
but their many taboos and supersti-
lions are very trying. unless you have
a good sense of humor. They go by
the moon and stars in everything.
They refuse any sort OF an undertake
ing unless the aspect of the o is
propitious. They also have special
taboos pertaining to things hot and
cold. None of them will, under any
circumstances, put their hands into
both hot and cold water on the same
day. They believe that if they do this
they will die in three days. BY the
moon they reckon time and forecast
the future. BY the moon they hold
their pagan ceremonies, and one might
say that by the moon they live and
by the moon they die"

Oysters Sold on Boughs

The traveller in the West Indies has
the opportunity of viewing the novel
sight of gathering oysters from trees.
Around the harbors and lagoons the
mangrove trees grow down to the wa
ter's edge. Their branches droop until
a part of them is submerged. oysters
will cling to any surface in the water
to which they can fasten themselves,
and as there are few shelves or stones
along the shores the b~ivalves attach
themselves to the branches. When
the natives go oyster gathering they
lean we the side of the boat, find a
branch to which oysters are clinging,
and cut it off, and the bivalves are
sold on the tree.

Storks in Great Britain

A Welsh lad was recently attacked
by a large stork which was believed
to have been blown from Holland by
storms. It is a somewhat strange fact
that storks have refused to breed in
the British isles except in Kew gar
dens. There a pair started housekeep-
ing in the year of King Edwards
coronation, and clearly copied the de
sign for their grotesque nest between
the two elm trees from a Coronation
bonfire. They met with a multitude
of misfortunes. One year a storklet
fell from the nest and broke its neck /;
in another year a nesting was slain
by a barnacle goose. A eliminating
disaster was the drowning of an en-
tire family by a thunderstorm. When
the "storks' mound becomes a con
gested district, superfiuous storklets
are exported to populate other dis
tricts.

YOU THINK
YOU'LL QUIT?
BY DOUGLAS MALLoCH

VOU think you'll quit. You do not
l. like
The way they speak to people there.
You hope another job to strike,
Where ev'ryone is always fair.
OF course, the hours are rather short,
The labor, too, is rather light;
And yet you'd like another sort,
A place that's just exactly right.
That other job you had before
Was not so bad, nor near as bad
AS once it seemed. What made you
sore
Was all the business that they had.
They paid you more than others would,
But often made you work at night;
And so you left the place for good
To look for one exactly right.
You have another move in mind;
Another job you want to get,
A place of quite another kind
From any you have had as yet,
With not so very much to do,
Good pay, short hours, and lots OF
light,
And where they're always nice to you,
A place that's just exactly right.
And yet, my boy, my girl, my man,
From job to job we often go,
Yet seldom find, and seldom can,
These Paradises here below.
There's very often something wrong,
I guess, with ev'ry job in sight;
Perhaps Wen have to get along
With one that's not exactly right.
Perhaps the house has troubles, too,
The chief has worries, too, nc
doubt.
Perhaps there's something wrong witt
you
And me we never thought about.
We're not entirely perfect, no,
To customers perhaps polite;
They keep us on the pay roll, though,
Although we're not exactly right.

Beavers IL, Real Wilds

Few places now exist where beavers
may be seen living wild, in natural
surroundings in Europe. Forty years
ago the last one disappeared from
Scandinavia, where they fingered
longest near Arendal, in southern
Norway. A correspondent of the Field
reports that a small, but thriving and
increasing colony of these animals
now exists in the same region Cat Mel
Elve), in a very inaccessible part Of
the country, no human dwellings any
where near, and the ground covered
with thick underground and trees of
birch, aspen and pine. No indication
of their origin is given, and it seems
possible that a small remainder of the
old stock has been hidden here all
this time.

Boy Kneu His Business

Mr.. Peters brought a piece of cloth
home to have a suit made. The fam
lily, examining the goods spread out
on the table, remarked upon the fine
quality and pattern. Even little Ron
aid was called upon to give his opin-
ion of fathers new suit.
He turned the stuff on the wrong
side and began to examine it.
Ronald" said old Peters, that is
the wrong side. How stupid you arel"
"Why stupid?" answered the boy.
"You bet it won't come to me until
it's turned on the wrong side."-Ex-

WELL

Editor Of "HEALTH''

TT YOU were given an expensive auto
l. mobile you would take good care of
1t, wouldn't you? You know that a
high-priced car is too valuable to mon
key with.
You would see that 1t was kept
clean that there was always plenty
of water in the radiator, so the engine
wouldn't get ~overheated that there
was plenty of oil, so that the bearings
wouldn't get hot and grind themselves
to pieces, and that any worn or weak
ened parts were replaced. You would
have the motor adjusted so hat there
would be no lost motion.
If you weren't a capable mechanic
yourself you would have some mar
who knew all about automobiles &C
over your car every few months and

see that 1t was in good working order.
But suppose you could only have one
car and that car had to last you all
your life and that you couldn't get any
narts TO replace those that were worn
out or broken. Then you'd take even
better care of it, wouldn't you?
Your body is a more intricate, deli
cate and valuable machine than aQs
made by human hands. And It's the
only n you'll ever have. You cam
turn It in when the engine begins to
knock or the frame begins to rattle.
You can't sell 1t and get another one
of a different model that suits you
better.
You've got to go through life with
lust one human machine. Isn't that
one worth taking care Of? You can't
get a new heart when your old one
breaks down, or have a new stomach
put in If your old n gets a perfora-
ton.
All the more reason why you should
take care of the one you have. Isn't
# good common sense to learn how to
take care of your body? To have
someone who knows how the machine
is made and how it works look it over
regularly and see If it's wearing out
anywhere? And TO have any Injuries
to your machine repaired as quickly
and as completely as you can?
Isn't it good sense to take at least
as good care of your body as you dc
of your automobile and to give your
body as much care as you would any
other expensive, valuable and delicate
machine?
Sounds reasonable. doesn't it? Think
1t over.

Dates From Pagan Times

Halloween is a relic of pagan times.
In England the influence of Druidical
ceremonies is evidenced in the ancient
toms which used to prevail in England
were ~survivals of Pomona, the goddess
of fruit. Halloween is called by this
name because the festival falls on the
evening of October 81, which is the
v or vigil of All Hallows, the fes-
tiyal of All Saints, which falls on No

Through the Glad
Eyes of Il Wornan
By Jane Doe
"LAST HUMAN FRAILTY"
By Jane Doe

ut OFTEN think" said a New Eng
4 land minister, that the last hui
man frailty which Christian religion
will succeed in conquerfng will be the
tendency to gossip"
Well, you know, for myself, rather
hope it will be.
l am a great believer In gossip.
OF course, | can quite understand
the minister's feeling rather badly
about it, because 1t seems that n Of
his dearly beloved congregation has
circulated the false rumor that the
reverend gentleman's good lady was a
servant before her marriage.
'In the ordinary way, in view of Its
grave possibilities Of evil, gossip
should be altogether ignored, but now
and then there are specimens Of the
more harmless variety that are so re-
freshingly humorous as to call for no
tice."
This also the minister.
l don't lay any claims to humor my
self, which perhaps explains why I
can't see the INTERESTINGLY funny
point about having your wife mistaken
for an ex-servant.
I know one or two domestics who
would make darn good ministeresses.
And lots of ministeresses whom I
can't think would be good for any
thing.
1 agree with the gentleman, how
NV, +bo+ oo,e;JorobIo amount of
catty, dangerous, and ill-considered
gossip should be ignored.
But don't want any Of us to lose
our delight in or taste for it.
A wholesome fear of our neighbors'
gossiping tongues has kept not a few
of us to the strlcter paths of r%ectitude.
Where would we be, I wonder, if 1t
were not for this dread Of being
talked about" this natural sensitive
ness to the words Of scorn and ridi-
euler
I don't want to be rude, but you
know as well as do that some of us
would be-wallowing in the mud.
No n can stop another from Cos
siping, but it is everyone's duty to
shut up any man or who makes
a foul remark or inference about an
absent party, whether r or not.
But we shall always gossip.
And we shall always love to, for
the very simple reason that we are all
units of this worlds big family, and
there isn't, after all, anything more
vitally interesting than any incident,
however trifiing, connected with that
big family.
Which is why newspapers are the
most popular forms of literature.
They are simply gossip sheets-rec-
ords of the doings of every one who
does or says something worth gossip
ing about.
But be kind.
Never say anything behind anyone
else's back that you would not like
said behind your own.
My, how easy 1t is to write thisl
l dare say If / could have a short
hand report of all the unkind things
I've said about other folk during my
little lifetime I'd commit suicide.
And similarly, if I could have a
shorthand report of all the unklnd
things said about me I'd commit
murder.

the passage of the amendment. ana
that is one Of the strongest arsu-
.ments, from one point Of view. which
could be made. 1t is not conclusive
argument however. That depends on
lust what Congress might do under
this change.
A few weeks ago the general coun-
sci of the National Association OF
Manufacturers, which claims to be
free from child labor but which may
not have exerted all the influence It
might to prevent it. gave statistics to
show that but 12e.5S0 children out OF
II 5oo,5s2, are in need Of the pro-
lection sought. He compares census
figures of 1920 with those Of 1910 to
show that while in this country there
were under the last census 100000
more children than at the previous
census tore were 100000 fewer at
work.
This encourages the idea that time
will effectually dispose Of the prob
lem, but in it there is little assur-
ance that once agitation Of the ques-
ton relaxes the practice will not be
increased. The states where' child
labor is employed are stubborn
though some of them have under the
threat passed better state laws
These may or may not be enforced
| Surely the exploiters of child labor
are not to be trusted but is it not
reasonable to trust the unmistakable
trend toward better conditions for
