you tell me what he bought the nails

Dear Mr.. Wynn: We had an argu-
ment at our house last night about
young men getting married. Some
Of the folks said that most of the
boys who marry when they are very,
very young are usually dark haired.
Is that true? Yours truly,
JENNY RAYTOR.
Answer 70 Is not true. You will
find that boys who marry when they
are extremely young are generally all
light headed.

bors has a son who Is now about %

Oceans of Gold.

THERE is gold in sea water, but it
will never make any one rich.
Prof. Fritz Haber the German chem
list, warns possible investors against
plausible schemes for boiling the
wealth of Croesus out OF the ocean.
Gold in exceedingly minute guam
titles is found everywhere in the
oceans Of the world. but turiously
enough the water and the floating ice
near the North Pole assay about four
times as much as water from the
warmer portions of the globe. The
average concentration of the precious
metal in the 5000 samples analysed
by DIR. Haber is only about one one.

one -millionths of an ounce. to the ton;
so that he has characterized an at

Steam Reservoirs.

TT is of course the usu'~ tTlng for
l. city to have n few reserve reser-
voirs to guard against interruption OF
the water supply. but a Swedish city
has extended the principle. having
constructed two steam reservoirs.
These are two large iron tanks. hold
ing a reserve supply of steam for the
,lty's hydro-electric plant. Enough is
held here to operate the generators
for an hour or more.
The tanks are filled to within 80
per cent of their capacity with water
raised to a temperature considerably
above what its boiling point would be
in the open air. When steam is drawn
off more is instantly available. A rela-
lively small boiler is sufficient to keep
the accumulators charged and ready
for service. The insulation is such
that heat losses are negligible even in
low temperatures outdoors. Auto
matte valves keep the pressure in the
tanks constant.

Bobolinks. Summer d. C.. Residents,
Winter Below Equator, Expert Finds

Neither the widely advertised es-
tates of Florida nor the sporty cline
of Cuba suffice to satisfy the climatic
tastes of the familiar bobOlink or the
barn swallow, so common to the Ma
tional Capital. After basking III the
ample sunshine of these parts dur
number Of other seemingly frail
North American species, hurry to the
palm groves of the Argentine and
Uruguay. Then, when the season
wanes in the country of the tango
they wing thousands of miles back
to the United States and Canada for
another season.
These rather astonishing facts
were obtained by DIR. Alexander Wet
more, ornithologist and assistant Sec
rotary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, who recently returned from the
southern countries Of South America,
where he was sent to gather first
hand information as to the status Of
migratory game and insectivorous
birds, to throw more light on the
migratory bird treaty between the
United States and Canada. DR.. Wet
more personally observed the little
chaps in the southern homes, and
he has just completed an illustrated
bulletin on the subject for the Smith
sonian Institution.
Though many birds from North
America commonly go to the northern
part Of South America" DIR. Wetmore
explained. 'onIy q relatively few >spe-
cies pass below the Equator as far
South as Paraguay, Uruguay, Argen-
tina and Chile. However, these in
clude some Of our best known birds.
One who did not know their habits
would hardly believe them capable of
