Youngsters Odd Idea

sent him on message to shop with

He was detained for "a hours to be

Device Said to Be
Superior to X-Ray

DIR. Andre Tours, Frenchman, mas
discovered means of making the hu
man body transparent, so that all the
organs will be seen working as in
mirror. The doctor has refused all
financial assistance, and also an offer
to go to the United States. He is de-
termined that the first data shall be
given to medical men of France.
If flesh can be made transparent so
that the bones can be seen clearly by
surgeons and osteopaths, X-rays will
be dispensed with in locating internal
troubles. The doctor in future will be
able to see the trouble at once with
out diagnosing blindly In cases OF
consumption and cancer the trans
parency of flesh will be an enormous
boon to medical men.
Doctor Tours claims that his dis
cUvery will assist experts In tracing
the cause of death where murder is
suspected The presence Of poison
will be easily detected. and in the case
of shooting the exact course of bull
let will be traced.

Breeds Origir, in Doubt

A number of theories have been adj
yanced and considerable controversy
has at times arisen regarding the
source and method of origin OF the
Great Dane. The name indicates that
this dog is native to Denmark, yet it
is common knowledge that the breeds
more recent development is directly
traceable to the efforts of German fan
ciers. Great Danes have been bred
for centuries abroad and records as
far back as the Egyptian period prove
that dog of this type was then in ex-
istence. 1t is presumed that the breed
descended from such dogs and that
ls,ssihly the ancestral Great Dane
stock spread to Germany, where 1t
,1wssed with the blood of the Ulmer
nsge. Rottweiler Metzerghund, etc.
The name "Deutsche Dogge" was
adopted as the official title for the
breed in Germany late in the Nine
t;cnth century and as such 1t is now
known in that country.

INSIDE" INFORMATION

Cockroaches are usually attracted
by dampness, bits of food, and trash
of all kinds. One method of exter-
mination is to sprinkle sodium f1uor-
i'd where these pests hide. Another
method is to put daubs of phosphor-
us paste on the inside of small tubes
of paper. This method is good be-
cause it keeps the poison away from
children and household pets.

wall gets dirtier than the upper half

Nothing but Whisky
Could Satisfy Indians

That the Indians of a century ago
had strong distaste for prohibition
is indicated by an article that APP
reared in the North American Review
in April, 1927, credited to Gen. Lewis
Cass, senator and secretary Of state.
AT the treaty of Chicago, in 1921,
the commissioners ordered that no
spirits should be issued to the In
dams. and informed them, in their
own manner, that the bungs were
driven into the barrels. A deputation
Of the chiefs was sent to demonstrate
against this precautionary measure,
aud at its head was Topnibe, the prin-
cipaI chief of the Pottawatomie tribe.
a man upwards of eighty years OF age.
Every argument was used to convince
sthem that the measure was indis-
Npensable; that they were exposed to
daily murders, and that while in a
state of intoxieation they were unable
to attend to the business for which
they were convened.
All this was useless and the dis
cussion was only terminated by the
peremptory refusal of the commission
ers to accede to their request. "Fa-
ther," said the. hoary-headed chief
when he was urged to remain sober
and make good bargain for his peo-
pie. "Father, we care not for the
money, nor the land, nor the goods.
We want the whisky, Give us the
whisky !"-Detroit News.

Less Rain in Eufure2:

During the last half century the
worlds average rainfall has, accord
ing to weather records, decreased
about one per cent. This has been
considered due to outside influences
such as variation in sunlight, but
an Indian weather expert has put
forward suggestion for the decrease
that is quite plausible.
2 He suggests that the lack of rain
may be due to an oil film, less than
a millionth of an inch thick, spread
on the surface Of the ocean by ships
that burn oil for fuel. Evaporation of
ocean water is the chief source of
rain, and this film of oil may be sui.
ficient to retard evaporation.

TELEPHONE ALMANAC

The 1928 telephone almanac
which presents in unique form
mass of valuable Information rela-
tive to the telephone and telephone
development, is now being distribut-
ed to more than 100000 families,
according to a statement just made
by Miss H. B. Pierson, agent of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
This publication which is edited
by the information department of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company was first distributed
in 1922 when 100000 copies were
printed. Its circulation has increas-
ed rapidly until this year for the
first time the number of copies print
ed are in excess of one million.
Telephone almanacs will be distri-
buted by associated companies OF
the Bell System and already orders
have been received for about $751;
900 copies of the 1928 issue accord
ing to officials.
In type, style and general appear
ance the telephone almanac is al
most an exact reproduction of the al
manac made famous by Poor Rich
ard" and his contemporaries. Much
of the atmosphere of this early pub
LEGATION has been preserved in the
quaint illustrations which are imita-
tiOn WOOd-cuts
In. addition to telephone data the
almanac contains many references
to important events in American
history This feature has given it
wide use in public schools, in some
of which it has been adopted as
supplement to regular text books in
history.
A rather whimsical touch is A
Rebus Page for Our Young Readers
which seems to appeal to grown
ups as well as children. The in
formation department of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany each year receives thousands of
requests for translations of this puz-
zle page.
