Nap. fnuented Billiards

The guides that show tourists around
Paris, says a Paris dispatch, display re-
markable ingenuity in replying to
every question, and can always be re-
lied on to supply interesting details
regarding great men of the past which
have been overlooked in history
An American traveller wh9 was being
shown over Mamaison. one of Ma
pOleon's residences on the outskirts of
Paris, had his curiosity aroused by
certain white ornaments appearing at
the end of the arms of the throne in a
painting in which the first emperor is
shown standing by his imperial seat.
He asked the guide what these knobs
were.
Napoleon" his cicerOne explained,
with pompous alacrity, ''was not mere
ly a great soldier and statesman, but
also great inventor. These round
white balls commemorate the fact that
Napoleon invented billiards"

Many Kinds of Oaks

There are 300 kinds of oak trees hav.
ing vastly different characteristics, but
they have one common feature, and
that is they all produce acorns. The
white oak is so called because it has a
rather white bark, while the black
oaks bark is quite dark, black to all
intents and purposes during the wood
age" Live oak was always preferred
for shipbuilding and for heavy duty,
but just why it was named live" is a
matter Of doubt.
At one time the island of Nantucket
was covered will. live oaks, but the
land was denuded of this timber years
ago during the whaling activities, when
several shipbuilding yards fiOurished
on the island and great fleet of whal-
ers was built there.

proximity to the Chippewa reserva-

and friendly atmosphere. From the
oldest times the rhythm of the hu-
man form has been closely related tc
the rhythm of music and dances have
either created the proper music or
music has created the dance which
was adanted to it. It would be hard
to decide whether the Foxhome or
chestra suggested the Charleston OF
the music of that orchestra was an
outgrowth of the dance. Long be-
fore the dawn of civilization there
were dances. There were as MANY
kinds of dances as there were kinds
of people, but as the people changed
the type of dances changed, so there
has been no permanence to any parti-
cular type of dance There is every
reason to believe that there is a per.

Many types of dances are excluded
from our repertoire on account of
climatic conditions. In January and
February it would be impossible to
do many of the Grecian steps which
have to be done with bare feet on
green turf. The Charleston seems TO
be particularly adapted to cold
climate and closed room.
While the basic movements of the
dance are the same there is slight

put of the different colleges. Orig
inally every little college had move

mingling within the loop the distinct

thought and action has been lost in

Symbol of Liberty

The Phrygian cap, or liberty cap,
was a peaked headdress worn by the
ancient Phrygians, and when placed
upon the heads, of slaves became
token of their freedom, thus becoming
a symbol of liberty. During the
French revolution 1t was made the
mark of patriot" and Louis XVI
was compelled to wear it in order to
show his agreement with the peoples

Of the goddess Of liberty on some of
the coins of the United States, and has
also been adopted by some foreign
countries and included in their coats

Waffle and Dab

Waffle and dab is a term of archi-
lecture applied to wall made with
upright stakes with withes twisted be-
tween them and then plastered over.
1t is probably one of the oldest sys-
TENS of construction. The Egyptians
employed the stem of maize, or Indian
corn, for the upright stakes. These
were secured together with withes and
covered over with mud, the upper por-
ton of the maize stems being left I'M
cut at the top to increase the height
of the enclosure. In the Middle ages
in England waffle and dab was used
as a framework for clay chimneys.

of the return itself, after the con-

all figures and data be assembled
pending the receipt of blanks by tax

Testing Gold

The ordinary and simplest method
of testing gold consists in touching the
metal with glass stopper wetted with
nitric acid. This will leave gold un-
touched, while base alloys will take a

though, to take the piece to a jeweler

Disputes Need for Aid.

Taking issue with the opinions eX-
pressed at last nights meeting in mes
sages from President Coolidge and
Secretary of Labor Davis that the
motherhood of the Nation must be
protected, Mr.. Edgerton declared:
Great concern is often expressed
for the motherhood of the race, and
petitions for it's protection, accom-
panied by all sorts of weird sugges-
tons, are proceeding from many
sources. I cannot help but feel some
resentment at the suggestion that it
is the motherhood of the wage earn
ers that needs the most protection"
Comparing mothers who work and
those who live in leisure and luxury,
Mr.. Edgerton said: 1T is my honest
conviction that efforts of the reform
ers of industry in America, in the
particular matter Of protecting our
motherhood, should be concentrated
rather upon those outside of indus
try than those within it. If among
the former it could be even taught
that motherhood under right condi-
lions is an obligation as we'll as a
sacred right, a greater contribution
could be made to the preservation
and advancement of the race than by
trying to shift upon the mothers
among the employed the entire re-
sponsibility for the perpetuation of
the human family. 1t would throw
