@. Is it true that frozen elephants have
been found and eaten? C. l.. Nee
A. The Smithsonian Institution says that
it is true that frozen elephants were found
in Siberia, and that the flesh was in such
state of preservation that it could have
been eaten. However, it has no record of
anyone having attempted to use the meat as
food. 1t is understood that there are several
specimens preserved in museums throughout
the world.
Q Why is soap bubble round? L. McC
A A soap bubble is round because it has
a surface tension which causes equal pressure
in all directions The soap bubble is covered
with film and the tendency OF liquids COW
cred by such film is to assume spherical
shape.
Q. | agree with my mother that it is use
less to turn the gas higher after the boiling
point is reached. Do foods cook faster if
permitted to boil vigorously? solution
might help to lower my gas bill. R. T
A. When liquids have reached the boiling
point, the temperature ceases to rise, and
the heat supplied is used in changing the
liquids into steam.

best answer to the question, What is the
difference between Democrat and Re
publican? M. E. II.
A. Mrs. Esther NJ. Hoander OF Baltimore

Baltimore Sun. Her answer was: "A Re
publican is person who thinks a Democratic
administration Ia bad for business. Demo
crat ia a person who thinks Republican
administration is bad for business. Both are
right.
O. Is there a legal reason that executions
always take place on Friday in Louisiana
A. NJ.
A. There is nothing in the laws of the
State specifying that executions must take
place Friday. The day is left entirely to

CHAPTER xxx
The Next Day

~ LORIA felt somehow different after that
r nights experience with Barry Carr.
She had driven his car into Hollywood,
down the silent streets already gray with
dawn, and then into the garage back OF
Barry's house. He had slept heavily all the
way, and Gloria had left him there sprawled
down in his seat, breathing stentorously, and
had picked her way back through the
town to her own little bungalow on the edge
of the town She was so tired when she
finally reached home that she could hardly
drag one foot before another. Once there,
she removed her clothes, stepped into a
warm, perfumed bath and five minutes later
was lying between scented sheets in her
darkened bedroom.
She awoke at noon, looked lazily at the
clock and cudded back on her pillow for an
other snooZe. Somewhere far below the
telephone was ringing. 1t stopped, she heard
the murmur of Alice's voice and then foot
steps in the corridor outside and discreet
knock on her door. Gloria, with her lashes
resting on her cheeks, did not move. After
a moment the knob turned and Alice came
into the room. Gloria could hear her ad-
vancing toward the bed, and she continued
to lie there motionless until, after what
seemed ages, Alice turned and tptoed out
again.
She must have slept again, for when next
she opened her eyes it was after l o'clock
She still tired and the headache from
last night still throbbing in her temples.
She felt suddenly great distaste for her
life. a disinclination for work Of any kind.
longing to stay here in bed until she was en-
tirey rested and the wish to see one at
all for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Again that low knock on her door. and
this time Gloria called petuIantly, "All right,
Alice"
Alice entered with a tray. Gloria looked
at it and then away again; she did not feel
hungry. Then Alice spoke.
"Mr. Manning has called three times"
Gloria shrugged her shoulders.
He told me to wake You. but l said You
had been out very late and that you had for
hidden me to call you in the morning.
Quite right, Alice Gloria's tone was
light mocking.
Nibbing at the dainties her tray, Clio
rias conscience was stabbing her. She knew
we'll that she had no right to keep Manning
waiting. They were shooting two important
scenes that day. Her absence had held up
the entire company; it wasn't fair. And yet,
after all, why shouldn't she do as she liked?
Templeton always did. Catherine Charming
worked when she felt so inclined and absent
ed herself from the studio when she was
what she termed indsposed.
Wasn't she Gloria more important than
either TempletOu or Catherine Charming?

NOISE AND NERVES
BY H. AddingtOn Bruce

~ ROM an editorial in the New York
r Medical Journal, and for the benefit
OF all whom it may concern, 1 make
this quotation:
'It is we'll worth the effort of those who
administer offices to hand out the Silence
sign, and to undertake careful studies with
the view of reducing the tumult in which
many people are obliged to work.
1T is surprising how many sounds may
be gotten rid Of by proper office discipline
how easily a quiet telephon- voice, far
more effective than trumpet-tongued bel
lowings, may be cultivated; how much
peace may be engendered by rubber castors,
quiet typewriters, and padded adding ma
chimes.
Every sound eliminated increases the
general efficiency OF the office force, and,
best of all, there will be a coordinate i'm
provement in its mental health
The human nervous system, it cannot be
too emphatically stated. was not by nature
organized to endure well medley of noise
For that matter, it is only within quite re-
cent times that such an endurance demand
was made on it.
Until the coming of the steam engine
ushered in the era of machinery. the world
was essentially a quiet place for all it's peo-
pie. Since then the progress Of invention
and the drift to the cities have steadily re-
duced the proportion of those who find the
world really quiet.
Nay, IL may truly be said that today the
most isolated rural settlement is not i'm
mune against an invasion OF excessive noise.
Even I write these lines in New
Hampshire farmhouse, there comes the dis
traction OF horrid and increasing noise.
1t Is an airplane hurting through space. on
it's daily mission of carrying New York
newspapers to mountain resort
Happily its noise dies away in a few min
utes, and the quiet of the countryside is re-
stored. Never, though in large cities,
with their grinding car-wheels their armies
of motors, their whistlings and their shrek
ings, is there surcease from noise
It IS small wonder that. with their ever
increasing noisiness and their ever growing
populations subject to that nofsiness, the
cities have continually become more no.
torious hot-beds OF nervous maladies.
Whatever will abate the noise nuisance in
them will be directly contributoTy to an
bating OF nervousness.
And. as pointed out in the New York
Medical Journal editorial, much may be
done by office managers in the way of be-
ing rid OF unnecessary noises.
Not few managers already appreciate
this, and have introduced noise-deadening
appliances, quietude-promoting office ar
rangements. etc, to the financial gain Of
their firms we'll TO the benefit of the
firms employees. But too many still seem
to think that noise has bearing either
efficiency or health.
Which is far, very far, from being the
case.

Hadn't the critics acclaimed her the most
important discovery OF the year? Manning
could afford to wait her whims. She
wouldn't be dragged through knot hole for
any director.
And yet even these thoughts darted
through her mind Gloria felt vaguely asham-
ed This pricking of her conscience served
only as further irrtant and yet she could
not rid herself OF it,
What had become Of her Wanted ambi-
ton? Where were her glorious hopes for
the future? The memory OF what had hap
pened last night brought the color TO her
cheeks in hot wave. Disgust swept over
her. Had she become one with these people
whom she had always despised? Was this
to be her life, this waking in the morning
tired out and cross, this dragging through
the day bored with everything, only to
plunge into mad vortex of pleasure each
night so as to avoid any serious thought?

is located in the picturesque AM
monoosuc Valley, somewhat less
than four miles west from the head
of Crawford Notch. Near here
is Crawford Notch which lies be-
tween Mount Webster and Mount
Wiley, extending for a distance of
about ten miles and finally culmin-
ating at a height of land nearly
1000 feet above sea level. Here at
the top of the notch is the Crawford
House property of 1000 acres, and
it Is this point In particular that is
known to the public as Crawford
Notch. From here the famous trail
starts for the summit Of Mount
Washington, over the peaks of the
Presidential range, affording one of
the most interesting and picturesque
trips in the East. The trail is over
miles long and is made by the
sure-fotted little burros which leave
from the Crawford House and climb
in safety and comfort to the very
pinnacle of Mt. Washington.
The best route to the Breton
Woods and the White Mountains is

WORKING ON A
AN Il KNOCK GAS
New Fuel May Mean More
Powerful and Efficient
Automobile Engine

More intensive production of
anti-knock fuel may bring about
construction of a more powerful,
more highly efficient automobile
engine.
Manufacturers are already con-
sidering the production of such en-
gines, with the increase in popu-
larity and use of the anti-knock fuel
called ethyl gas. 1t is this fuel, they
say, that, in eliminating the carbon
knock in high combustion engines,
makes possible the production of
engines of even higher combustion
than exist at present.
Present compression of engines
rates about so to 70 pounds to the
square inch. With the anti-knock
fuel, engines of 1856 pounds compress
sion might be made.
The reason for such an increase
in compression lies in the theory
that higher compression produces
greater output from the engine.
Higher compression has been linn
tied by the tendency of such engines
to knock when climbing hill or ac-
celebrating, IL the spark isn't re-
tarded.
The theory is that the more high
ly compressed the gas is in the cyl
inder the easier 1t is to explode from
overheated carbon deposits before
the regular explosion takes place.
Ethyl gas, as we'll as other forms
of anti-knock fuel, is designed to
cure just this by preventing carbon
ization as much as possible. With
less carbon in the cylinders there Is
1Ac oh 20
to be exploded in part by hot car
bon, before the entire flow is ex-
ploded by the spark.
Engines of higher compression
would result in cars that pick up
easily, climb hills with little diff
Guilty and travel farther on a gallon
of fuel. Smaller engines, for the
same output, may be made. cutting
down weight and resulting In lighter
cars.
Engineers are looking forward
to the time when automobiles will
afford much more room for passen-
gers on the same size frames, they
have now
They vision this advancement by
progress in the construction of en-
gines and their tendency toward
smaller sizes.
At present, the actual tendency
seems to be toward straight eights-
longer engines requiring more room
on the chassis and therefore more
space for the entire car. But the
time will come, say some of the
more visionary engineers. when the
engine will be as small as a motor
cycle engine, and 1t will be directly
over the rear transmission, afford
ing direct drive and more room in
front.
Such automobiles have already
been produced. Examples of cars
with rear drive were tried out in
Europe recently. Although this
principle is still in It's embryonic
stage, it promises well for adoption
within a few years.
With the engine small and COM
pact, underneath the rear seat, the
auto on a 120-inch wheelbase may
be able to devote all that space for
passenger use, instead of only about
70 inches 1t affords today.
At the same time, these small en-
gines may afford much greater
power and speed than the larger
motors of today. Development of
the auto engine points that way
even today.

BETTER ROADS
IN MONMOUTH
Repairs on Several Routes
Are Fast Being Completed
Fine Progress

MATAWAN. July 26.-Monmouth
county's roads on which repairs have
been under way for some time past
are fast being completed and before
the summer Is gone motorists will
find many new paved roads through
the sections leading to the seashore
and farming districts. One of the
newly paved roads has already been
opened to traffic and another will be
opened within short time.
The most recently paved road in
the county is that leading from
Route No. near Middletown to
Keansburg. This road Is known as
the Gateway road and until paved
was a gravel road in good condition.
During the heavy summer traffic
however, dust was annoying to both
motorists and those living along the
thoroughfare and to overcome this
annoyance the county decided to con-
crete the road.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
road leading from Route No. a, just
south of Middletown to Atlantic
Highlands that is being paved, the
balance Of the road Is of hard sur
face construction.
Within a few years Monmouth
county will present to the motorist
smooth paved highways to all sec
tions Of the county and it is then
probable that work will be started
ON the paving of routes of lesser inn
portance. Next year will bring a
concrete road through this borough,
connecting the present ends of the
concrete road leading from Freneau
to Freehold and from Matawan to
Keyport. With this mile of road
laid, motorists will find a paved
highway leading from the cities in
the northern section of the state to
Lakewood, Asbury Park and consid-
erably beyond these points.
