 The federation has advised union men in all other American league cities to make similar protests.

Calf Beat Calvin

What the speaker characterized as a quaint bit of Yankee philoso- phy was story he told of the day Calvin Coolidge first went to the Black River academy. This was 12 miles from his home town. The day his father took him to the academy he also took calf to market. The calf was 10 be shipped to Boston to be slaughtered. The boy eventually hoped to get to Boston also. Tho elder Coolidge. he stated. is fond of pointing ont moral In the brief statement that "the calf got there first"
 He told how the president as a boy did "chores' on the farm. how his first pair of trousers were cut down from his grandfathers. He Illustrated the fact that the people of that section are not dcmonstra- tive by saying that the crowds in Plymouth which stand around to watch the president go by are those who come from New Britain, New Haven or some other place. "The Plymouth farmer would probably lean on his hoe or against fence chewing a straw and remark, Wal, Calvin's looking a bit peaked, bet ter come back 10 the farm.'"

Story of the Shasta Daisy.

In the preface Of one OF his books
Luther Burbank says: There are two
classes Of mind rarely combined
in the same person-the investigator
and the recorder-and when so com
bined time becomes the one element
lacking"
This difficulty has beset Mr.. Burbank
almost from the beginning Of his work.
but in his modesty he has failed to
bring out what is one OF the most re-
markable qualities about him, and that
is his ABILITY to express in clear and
simple English something OF the great
truths Of science he he learned through
his so years of work with plants Of
all species.
The fortunate guest in his garden
who walks about with him, becomes in
spirit like little child in the presence
Of this master gsslener. and like a
little child he asks a child's questions
and understands the answers so simply
given and yet covering such underly-
ing facts OF science.
Il have always so much admired the
Shasta daisy and have often wondered
just how il came into existence. II
surely has a story of its own" l asked
him.
1T has story" says Mr.. Burbank.
'and very interesting history. Many
years ago, before I left my old home
in the East, l had begun to experiment
with seed-raising and often went to the
hills and the woods to gather seeds of
wild flowers. These j planted and cul-
tivated, and studied the different varie-
ties coming from the parent plants.
Among these was the wild field daisy
Of New England-a weed. in fact, with
every farmers hand against it, but it
interested me and l found the varie ties
produced by cultivation and selection
very striking
do weeds then make as strong an
appeal to the plant experimenter as
flowers and fruit"
Not always, but weeds are just plants
out of their proper places, and nature
has a use for them; besides, many OF
them are the ancestors of our garden
flowers, or rather the descendants of
those ancestors, and experiments with

very rusty. Then take the needles
out and rub them with piece OF
rather coarse flannel Rusty knitting
needles may be STEPPED in paraff1n
narrow bottle.
A good mixture for cleaning pewter
is made by pouring a pint of boilin 8
wnter over an ounce OF soap and add
ing an ounce of rotten stone and an
ounce of ammonia. The mixture must
bo thoroughly stirred and should be
kept in a covered jar. A few drops
should be rubbed into the pewter
after which whiting can be used for
a polish.
To Mend China.
Instead of throwing away valuable
china or glassware that has been
broken, get tube of white oil paint
and apply 1T to the broken pieces
rather thickly. Place the pieces to-
gether firmly and put in a place
where 1t will not have to be used for
several weeks. Then with a sharp
knife scrape off the dried paint. The
fore and can be washed in very hot
water without harm. Pieces have held
together for seven years mended in
this way
Another good way to make a ce-
ment for mending broken china is to
dissolve a little gum arabic in water
and then put enough plaster of Paris
in it to make a rather thick paste.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broken
pieces of china, put together with this
paste and in few hours they will be
well mended.
Conserve Paper and String.
Have a place to keep string, wrap
ping paper and scissors, that is, the
same place all the time. II these
things are always where you can
quickly get them, much time and
many useless steps will be saved.
Whether it be a shallow drawer,
quickly and easily opened, a fiat wall
pocket. or a cupboard shelf, make a
place for clean wrapping paper, and
for 1t only. Near at hand have a re-
ceptacle for string. 1t takes only a
minute after undoing a package to
fold the paper smooth and fiat and
lay it away, likewise to unite or cut
out the knot, double the string once
or twice and tie it.once loosely in the
middle, then put 1t In the container.
Never put away a knotted string, as
that means taking time to sort out a
straight piece when you are in hur-
ry. Never store up soiled paper or
string. That is false economy To
class all used paper and string as
trash and throw 1t away is to deny
yourself necessary conveniences Scis-
sors must be within reach also where
one does UP packages and should not
be carried out of that room
