Ingenious Scheme Keeps
Parental Line Intact

Respect for one's elders is a
praisewowhy custom, which, neyerthe-
less, may he carried 100 far j. u
Newson observes in Adventure Maya
zine ON ltaga, in the New H5rides,
1t has become quite bad form to let
ones parents die. OF course, II is
rather difficult to keep them alive If
they fall out of tree and break their
hecks, or meet Il shark while they are
swimming about in mid-ocean, and ex-
IRENE old age is also responsible for
many casualties.
Even so, the respected parent must
not die; he must, on the contrary, live
more vitality than ever, and the practi-
cal-minded indigenes have found a
perfectly simple solution to this awk-
ward problem. They go to the next
village or neighboring island and
buy a child of the desired sex, whom
they adopt--as their father, mother or
grandparent, as the case may require.
The child is given the deceased's
name, rank and precedence. He is
treated with every mark of respect
formerly accorded the real relative
at least when the occasion calls for
ceremony.
This makes for astonishing confu
sion among relatives. and 1t drew from
one visitor, who came from another
island, the scornful comment:
"Ragal Oh, that is the place where
they marry their granddaughter !"

Where Insects Are Food

In Mexico live tribes OF Indians who
eat kind of bread made in great part
OF the eggs of notonectes, which are
large water bugs. The honey ants,
swelled with sweet matter, are used
for a dessert In Central America. The
natives Of Africa make bread with the
termltes, while those of Brazil prepare
them with sauce.
Several Chinese peoples find cater
pillars and the chrysalises Of the silk
worm excellent food. They are fried
in butter oil, with the addition of yolk
of egg and other ingredients. The
Hovas Of Madagascar regale them
selves with the chrysallses Of the bonn
byx, which are often fried or boiled
Natives of Australia eat moths, which
they pursue and catch with the aid Of
torches. They are first dried and then
their wings are removed.

In Memoriani.

In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear little nephew, Alfred Clark Watkins.
whom God called to be with the angels on
June 18th. 1924.
Dear little Alfred, how we miss you,
No words can ever tell,
You have gone from us to rest in peace,
And with the angels to dwell,
At the beautiful gate you stand and wait,
Dear little Alfred from pain set free,
shall clasp your hand and see you smile
When the gates are opened for me.
God takes our loved ones from our home,
But never from our heart,
Some day your dear little face we shall see,
When God calls US home to dwell there
with thee.
Forget him No we never will,
We loved him then. we love him still,
His memory is as fresh today
As in the hour he passed away.
Jesus said: Suffer the little children
and forbid them not to come to me for
the kingdom of heaven is for such. Matt.

LEFI EAR BGST

There Is quite a notion that
the use OF the Telephone is bad
for the ear. Perhaps that can
be tested. In most cases It is
the left ear that goes up to the
telephone receiver And, ac-
cording to the News Bulletin OF
the Kansas CoIlmittee on Public
Utility Information, the left ear
is the better ear More than
that, according to this veraeious
authority. 1t is the telephone
that makes it better. Left ears.
as a result of this practice, have
become far more sensitive than

And IL you don't believe, you are
invited to put the telephone re-

Poole And Mellott To Go To Prison

Ralph Mellott and Littleton S. Poole, Of
this county. will leave to-day for the peni-
Tertiary to begin sentences of three and
five years, respectively. for a statutory
offense, of which Irene Mellott. ID year
old sister Of Ralph MelIott. was the victim.
Their penalties were fixed in the circuit
court at Frederick last Monday by Judge
Glenn H. Worthington. who. with Judge
Robert B. Peter, presided at the trials Of
the two. Poole was convicted last week
by jury. and Mellott had his hearing
before the two judges last Monday.
Mellott denied relations charged by his
sister. and said confession he had pre-
viously made was in expectation that he
would receive more leniency. The death
penalty was possible for the offense.
Pooles counsel filed motion for new
trial. which was denied. but Mellott ac-
cepted sentence.

Electric Rate Cat.

The seven-year legal battle between the
Public Utilities Commission Of the District of
Columbia and the Potomac Electric Power
Company, involving valuation. rates and
an impounded fund of $6.000,000. was
brought to an end last Saturday by
compromise agreement. The agreement
provides that:
Effective at once the company will col
lect only rs cents per kilowatt hour for
current consumed in households. This is
an increase over the 81 cent rate last
fixed by the commission, but it is reduc-
ton of 2 IS cents from the 10 cents an
hour which the consumer actually paid.
The difference between the commission
and the old l0-cent rate was impouuded.
Hereafter impoundine will be stopped.
New rates also will be made effective
for other than household consumers. All
new rates will be shown in bills rendered
after January list. Bills are rendered in
January for current used in December.
One-half of the 100000 impounded
fund will be returned to the consumers
from whom it was collected. and the com
pany will keep the remaining 100000.
The valuation of the company property
was fixed at $32 100000 This is higher
than the commission had contended for.
but also is lower by several million dollars
than the valuation claimed by the COM
pany.
Although the agreement applies only to
the District. the company has announced
it will ask the Maryland authorities to
approve of it and make it applicable to
consumers in Maryland.
The new rates will keep in the pockets
of electric consumers Sl.250,000 which.
under the old situation. they would have
had to pay into the impounded fund in
1925, il was estimated.
