What the World Is Doing
As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine
Cleaning Paintbrushes

By using the following method
paintbrushes can readily be cleaned
and kept soft and pliable without
keeping them in oil or water. When
finished with the brush, clean it in
gasoline; about two-thirds of cupful
is enough. Pour some clean gasoline
on the brush and hold it in front of
the nozzle Of a garden hose or other
strong stream of water, turning the
brush around several times to wash
out the gasoline. With the removal
OF the gas, every trace of the paint
will also disappear. The brush is then
laid away to dry, and it will be soft
and clean for the next job. Even if
used in black paint brush will not
soil a clean piece of paper when
rubbed over it, after having been
thoroughly cleaned and dried in this

JIMMY FOXx TO PROVIDENCE

Jimmy Foxx, the II year old idol
of all Eastern Shore base ball fans,
who was purchased last year from
the Easton Farmers by Connie Mack
has been loaned to the Providence,
R. l., team of the International
League.
An offer to buy Foxx from the Ath-
letics was made by the management
of the Providence team. Foxx was
loaned to the Providence team only
because he was too valuable a player
to be kept in the dug-out all the
time. He has played some fine ball
since his stay with the Mackmen. He
will no doubt be with Mack next
year and will get chance to play
more ball. He has been a wonderful
pinch hitter.

What Causes Holes in Cheese
Mystery Is Solved

Experimenters in the department of
agriculture are reported to have dis
covered that special curing processes
and preparation of the curd, cause
the holes in Swiss cheese. The prod
uct is now being supplied to employees
at a cost of about twenty cents a
pound for materials. The expense of
the experiments, which were started
nearly ten years ago, is being recov-
cred by the sale of the cheese. The
demand for it is so great that orders
are rotated according to a system
which permits all employees to make
purchases.

IN reserve, with the French having

who charged him with having stated
that the girl was eighteen years

Lady Aberdeen Says Boys and
Girls of Today Lead Other
Generations in Intelligence
BY FRED ]. WALKER

By FRED J. WALKER
Modern youth was heartily de-
Tended today by the Marchioness
Of Aberdeen, titled president Of
the International Council Of
Women. In an interview, the
marchioness declared the Ameri-
can bodied haired, rouged kneed,
saucy dispositioned flapper, and
the equally familiar "drug store
cowboy" will be the salvation Of
the world.
az think today's young people
are the most splendid the world
has seen. They have odd traits,
of course, but their independence
Is at the bottom of that familiar
complaint" Lady Aberdeen con-
tinued:
More Intelligent Now.
who would think of comparing
the eighteen-year-old OF today" Lady
Aberdeen said, with a similar
youth OF 100 years ago? The mod
ern boy or girl is more intelligent,
thinks for himself and refuses to
blindly accept that which he Is told.
Naturally 1t is disconcerting at
times to be forced to accept a
radically new attitude from chill
dren when we were bound by stric.
discipline and stricter conventions
IN our teens. But the new genera
fion should be a direct example Of
the sound outlook Of the present
day youths"
Lady Aberdeen believes that re-
fusal by present day children to
believe everything they are told will
cause an international revision OF
present day hostilities and pettish-
ness.
Other Leaders Disagree.
This view. however. met with vio-
lent disagreement from other dele
gates to the convention. {
Frau Clara Mende, noted German
political leader and member OF the
Reichstag, thinks the flapper and
sheik need a big portion OF pre-war

and hairbrushes, dusty with disuse.

ton nut them up again." she said.
straining discipline of. home life
for five years and their. younger
brothers and sisters were caught
in the whirlwind of immortality
which swept the world.
Urges More Discipline.
THE value of discipline in the
raising Of children is obvious. With
out parental discipline, a child Is
handicapped both in the race for
material success and moral hap
piness.
throughout history the dis
ciplined have succeeded. Self dis
cipline enables one to master ones
self and build up a background Of
invaluable characfer-and this train
ing must begin at home"
Frau Mende asserted that MANY
Of Germany's present day problems
could be laid directly at the feet
Of children who, by their refusal
TO work, prevented speedy ma
tional recovery.
She said this was the main reason
why parents, in desperation, elected
HIndenburg president-they thought
his influence would cause a return
to pre-war discipline. - :
