brass rail on which to rest the foot (years ago when the foot rested on a brass rail it brought to its owner line of conversation which flowed freely, and how). Do not swing your arms and shift your feet at the same time. as the people in the front rows may move back, thinking you are about to make standing broad jump.
 Many a speaker learns that his audience is gifted in dozing off in various positions. Some leaning against the shoulder of the person next to them, some with their el- bows holding up their chins, and some using one hand to cover up an ear and hold it in place. Some peo- pie have a habit of gazing vacantly ahead as though nothing was in front of them. Then is the time you should attract their attention.
 If you are bow-legged or knock kneed it will be an easy matter. Have several comic pictures (photos of your relations will dol hung on the wall about you, in case the audi ence gets tired of looking at you (remember they're human, tool. Don't talk about anything that will make them think of home, such as the furnace, groceries, radio. bills. etc. Dust off some joke and tell 1t to them. If they don't laugh you can mention that some people wouldn't laugh if they had swallowed a pint of laughing gas.
 Poking a person playfully in the ribs is great aid in getting laugh Cor a sock on the jaw). If possible, have an assistant walk along the aisles tickling bald headed people with soda straws or feather dusters. Tell them that bald headed men make the most interested listeners. as their minds are more easily pene- trated on account of 1t not being necessary for the words to detour wild and wavy locks. Once you get them laughing it is easy to keep them that way (they'd just as soon laugh at you as anybody else.
 Tell them that a smile a day keeps the grouch away, and that their smile is their fortune, and then note the different kinds of for tunes. Finish your speech and leave the stage as quiet as possible. If the audience applauds. do not get a swclled head, as they are probably clapping their hands to keep warm and to get the blood circulating again.

Barbers Declare That Their Conversing With Customers
 Gives Them Chance to Study Patrons.

Paris. Nov. 26. Rl-Why barbers talk 50 much--if indeed they do has a new explanation.
 It is all & matter Of high art and analytical psychology. So, at least, say defenders of the barbering craft.
 How. Monsieur" remarks one, "can I dress your hair so as to ex- press your personality and your character. if you do not talk? How, indeed, can l read your soul if you say nothing? And to learn your thoughts I must talk to make you talk"
 Thus, in a high mixture of mental science and tonsorial art, Is the traditional talkativeness of the barber placed we'll up in the scale of professional accomplishments.
 Handling the marcelle irons, trimming an artistic bob. and even giving an ordinary man good, close shave, say the barbers, are only the equipment of a journeyman. The real art of the game. the trick of drawing out the victim, searching his soul for It's true identity. is the mark of the artist, the master coif- feur.

Dear Noah Count:

 On account of me having had some experience appearing before the public at lodge meetings etc. I has been able to jot down a few Of my impressions or whatever you calls 'em in the following, which I've entitled First Aid to Amateur Speech Makers" and hope they'll be of some use to you.
 Most speakers face their audience, although some have more courage when they face the exits. Tell the audience that you will take only q few minutes of their time (this will please them immensely). Talk in telligently, if possible. Use plenty of words in your conversation and speak them as though you know what you are talking about, being careful to use only those which you yourself can understand.
 Keep a wide awake look on your face (even If 1t ain't naturaD. If you feel nervous and have chills, wear balloon type pants, as they will hide your trembling knees. Place the hands in the pockets and rattle the loose change. This gives the audience the impression that you are well-to-do (even if you don't do so welD.

Study Insect World
 At Work And At Play

'Go to the ant, thou sluggard,' is possible for every lazy Partisan now for the ant and every other sort of insect may be seen at work in his natural habitat at the Jardin des Plantes.
 A Vivarium, where insects, lizards and small reptiles live in miniature forests. enclosed in glass, has been established. It is the fulfillment of the idea of Jean Henri Fabre, the French naturalist, who always urged that science should have such fla cilities for studying the Insect world in it's work and play.
 From all the French colonies there are being brought live speci- mems which most entomologists heretofore have seen only pinned in glass cases.
 So far as possible each creature Is given its native surroundings and a close imitation of the climate in which it thrives.

Mattresses Suggested
 As Iife-SQyiNg RaftS

Floating, mattresses, that can be strapped together to form great rafts, are proposed as better than i. life-boats and life-preservers on ships.
 Mattresses stuffed with "kapok" are said to be quite buoyant. kapok is 6 silky down, somewhat like cot ton, obtained from South American, African and East Indian trees. It is used widely in France for both mat tresses and pillows.
 A system of kapok mattresses that could be grouped into rafts was proposed some years ago by Captain Warneck of the French navy. His observation of ship dis asters was that panic stricken pas sengers generally adjusted life-pre- servers badly and that boats fre- quently were swamped. Mattresses, he thought, could be thrown over board easily and a number of them bound together would form sea worthy rafts.

Hunger Doesn't Thin Paris Artists Ranks

 Four times the number of pie lures that can be hung usually are offered to the various Salons" the big annual expositions given in the Grand Palais.
 There is room for about 1000 pie lures on the walls but there always are several times this number pre- scented. A jury has to select the most suitable examples, causing many heart-burnings and frequent public reproaches by indignant young artists who feel they are be- ing ignored.
 In all of these expositions the members of the various recognized societies are entitled to hang 8 cer- tain number of canvases or show art objects, if the offerings are ap- proved by the jury. About third of the wall space is reserved for artists outside the membership.

 This Is the country of many but small property owners. The division of an estate among the heirs Is ob- ligatory, in obedience to Napoleon's idea incorporated in the Code" that still is the basis of French law. It was intended to break up great land holdings and to make France a nation of property owners, a result that has been accomplished.

French Refuse Letters On Which Postage Is Due

Thrifty French men and women guard their sous even when the postman brings a letter.
 Half a million letters and pack axes are refused each year in Paris-and like proportion in the rest of France-by persons who won't pay due postage. Frequently the amount due Is only few cents but the Frenchman is averse to spending even pennies when he doesn't know what he is going to get for 1t.

 Animals fed on the crust of white bread lost weight markedly. Toast also not only failed to produce the mals fed exclusively on this diet rap- idly declined and died. From these results Prof. Friedberger concludes that whitebread is assimilated better and quicker than any other variety of bread. though he admits that it has by no means been scientifically proved that the assimlability of a food is to be accepted as criterion for its nutritive value.

 King George would have q much bigger income if an agreement had not been reached between the sov- ercign and the Government 200 years ago that the nations ruler should surrender his life interest in the kings lands in consideration of a fixed salary.
 Of recent years the income from clown property has increased mar Velously. Since 920 the income from crown lands has almost doubled and is now i1,134,255 annually.
 The block adjoining the Piccadilly Circus in which the Plaza, the new Amcrican-owned picture theater, is located, now yields f16,120, as against i5 1925 in 1920
 LeaScholds on the new building development along Regent Street be- tween Piccadilly and Oxford Cir cuses now yield f315,229 annually az against t44,070 in 1918, when old buildings occupied the space now filled by uniform stone buildings which form the most beautiful busi ness section of London.
 Queen Victoria and Edward VII received more through their civil lists than they would have received had their ancestors kept the Income from crown lands in lieu of salaries. but the Commissioners of Crown Lands have been so successful in developing property of recent years that George V would be very rich man were he receiving the earnings of the crown lands.
