Peculiar "Insult"

A Hungarian fruit dealer having
a very large melon on his hands
decided to use it for advertising
purposes and accordingly he had
the Hungarian coat of arms carved
upon 1t with some minor variations
and thus he put 1t on show in his
window. The town officials were
thrown into panic by its, pres.
ence and saw an insult to the Hun
garian nation. They arrested the
poor fruit dealer and took him into
court, where he was promptly
found guilty and sentenced to a
fine or Imprisonment He appealed
his case and the second court re-
duced his Imprisonment to six
months instead of year. but gave
him no alternative of a fine. His
0ffense in each case was insult to
the Hungarian nation.

industrial interests committee of the
Washington Board of Trade that many
financial institutions are placing orders
for their printing, particularly for bank
books, checks, etc, with out-of-town
concerns. In several instances the
committee has called this to the atten-
ton of local institutions. and upon in
vestigating have found that such busi-
ness can be done as efficiently and
as cheaply in Washington.
"It is the hope of this committee
that all organizations will at least give
local concerns an opportunity to get
this business before sending it out of
town. Certainly. if all the local banks
were to deal in Washington the volume
of business derived would enable local
concerns to meet outside competition
with ease.
May we ask, in the interest of local
prosperity, that you look into the possi-
bility of dealing with local concerns
whenever posSible?"

NEW YORK BUYING
TURKEYS FOR POOR
City Opens Its Great Purse to
Spread Thanksgiving
Cheer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 27.-Vast,
bulging, overflowing New York is open
ing its tremendous pocketbooks and
celebrating Thanksgiving not only In
reducing turkey to remains but in bring
ing a little cheer into homes where
hitherto a turkey leg has been an un-
known quantity.
New York's celebration of Thanks
giving for the poor was opened indi-
rectly by a bride and bridegroom who
did not give their names. They started
a fund, writing:
This is our first Thanksgiving to-
gether. We are sending you share of
our wedding money SO we may include
in our happiness those who of necessity
are sad this Thanksgiving
Throughout the day representatives
of the Charity Organization Society, q
central bureau of New York charities,
will carry back to their headquarters
tear-filtered stories of little hidden
away corners of the metropolis which
had been frightened by bit Of unex-
pected Thanksgiving.
In all, between Is 900 and 10000 fam
lilies will dine we'll and prepare to make
soup and hash for the rest of the week
who would not do SO depending solely
on their own income.
The Story of Giuseppe.
For instance, there is Giuseppe Fan
toni, in upper East Manhattan. The
story of Giuseppe should be told in
three chapters. The first is Thanks
giving, 1918. A young Italian father,
so relates the Charity Organization So
ciety, sat at the head of his family
Thanksgiving table. He wore shiny,
black suit, the same in which he had
crossed the ocean, not many days be-
fore. His black moustache briStled with
pride and contentment.
1t was festive occasion-extra leaves
in the table. shining white cloth, broth
ers and uncle and aunts. all partaking
of the food which Giuseppe had sup
piled.
Across the table sat his wife. Maria
gracious, ear-ringed; close by his side,
his daughter, Victoria, 4, and her sister,
Rosa, 3, and over by Maria their baby
son, Salvatore. Italian language, Italian

songs, a piece of Italy transported for
the moment to new shores.
There was not much in the outer
dressing of the feast to remind one of
Pilgrims and Thanksgiving, but the
spirit was the same. Giuseppe was a
pilgrim, rejoicing in the accomplish
ment of new adventure and thanking
God therefor.
Then comes Thanksgiving, 1927. The
family is there, but the table is shrunk-
en- in size and spirit. Giuseppe is a sick
man, but grim and hanging on. Mother
is saying that Victoria can no longer go
to school, that she must go out and
work.
The third chapter Is Thanksgiving,
1928. Giuseppe said there could be no
dinner. Yes, they had something to
be thankful for, perhaps, but there was
no money with which to provide the
outward trappingS of this thankfulneSs.
But his wife, Maria, has twinkle in
her eyes.
Giuseppe to Be Astounded.
For the day before young woman
has visited her, and she knows. At IL
o'clock, before Giuseppe's astounded
eyes, she will bring in steaming tur-
key with all the accessories to a royal
feast. Then over the turkey she will
tell Giuseppe all about it. Victoria will
not have to go to work. Life can still
be pleasant.
Such incidents the charity Workers
found repeated over and over in the
poorer sections of New York.
According to Lawson Purdy, director
of the Charity Organization Society,
the number of families who require and
receive special Thanksgiving assistance
has increased this year. Last year his
organization provided for 2,500 fami-
lies. This year the number is 1900.

YOUR IODINE

Truly household staple is, the bot
tie of tincture of iodine. Each family
should see to IL that this friend of
mankind is newly replenished, and
kept within easy reach. What with
the extra garden work, house cleaning
and the like, small wounds are quite
common, and from these, if unattend-
ed to promptly, may arise trouble
ranging from mild infection to the
deadly tetanus; it is always wise to
take no chances with the invisible
germ.
Never mind about the brown stain
caused by the application of the drug;
I'd rather see a patient spotted all
over with an effective germ killer,
than t. be called to attend one small
zone of angry "strep" infection. The
advent of mild, warm weather is most
certainly an awakener CT germ life, as
well as plant life.
A small roll of good adhesive plas-
ter of the very best make; should be
in every medicine chest; the go"
meaning zinc oxide, is good one.
Upon the occurrence of the scratch
on the hand or fingers, Immediately
swab it with tincture of iodine; if the
remedy is not near at hand, and APP
plication is thus delayed, wash the
member with clean soap and water,
to remove possible particles of foreign
matter; dry gently and get the iodine.
Make thorough, soaking applica-
ton. When dry, apply a strip of
clean adhesive, to stay on as long as
there is no pain under it; size of ad-
hesive governed by size of wound. If
you are handy with scissors, an inch
square adhesive with hole cut in its
center and the opening covered with
smalled square of clean gauze, will
make ventilated cover for the wound
which will heal faster if it can be
reached by air. Don't ignore little
things-they are the ones that count

FAT

FAI
There used to be a line in a play
that wen, Nobody loves a fat man."
At least nowadays no woman wants
to be fat.
There is just one cause of fat, how
ever. People should remember. that
they never put anything on their alb
domen or hips in the way of fat that
does not come through their mouth in
the way of food.
1t is nice to talk about these things
and it is less humilitating than to adj
NIT that we eat 100 much
The real cause of fat is that we eat
too much and live too much at ease.
If some ladies who complain of too
much obese tissue would make a prac-
tice of taking the broom ard sweep
ing the floor and getting down on
their knees and hopping up the kitch-
end and doing the family wash, thew
would speedily recover their desire for
slimness.
The candy habit grows and grows.
No better cure for an enlarged alb
domen can be found than bending over

GARDENING IN LIMITED SPACE
By Romano B Kare

GARDENING IN LIMITED SPACE
If your gardening time is limited
you will have to plan to get the most
out OF 1t. The success of your garden
is measured by the amount of bloom
you get for the time you spend upon
it. And the size of the garden is also
controlled by the time you can give it.
1t would be foolish for you to have
too large a garden.
To get the greatest amount of bloom
with the least time and effort takes
careful planning and the selection of
the right flowers. | am today sug-
costing a group of ANNALS that will
give you the maximum bloom at the
least outlay of both cash and care.
These ten ANNALS are of the easiest
culture, and everyone of them may
be depended upon to give you their
full quota of bloom. They may all be
started from seed and will require the
minimum of care. There are many
more that might be added but these
will give you a good selection for
both garden display and cutting.
Here are the ten: Cosmos, Bache-
Tor Buttons, Zinnias, Gypsophilia (an-
nuaD, Larkspur, Gallardia, Nasturti-
ums, POppies, Stocks and Petunias.
In this list you have flowers of all
heights and can arrange your borders
to look well with the taller ones in
the rear and the shorter in the front.
In a border that is open upon both
sides, plant the taller ones in the CEN
ter and the shorter toward the edges.
Do not follow this rule too closely, as
your borders do not want to have a
set appearance. If you will study the
effects of flowers as grown in their
wild state you will learn great deal
that will help you to make your gar
den thing of beauty. The wild flow.
ers have way of their own in grow
ing, and you can get many ideas from
them that will be we'll worth while.
Mother Nature is wonderful teacher
If you will only listen to her.
In some future article / will list ten
perennials that will be permanent, and
also fill the above requirements. Per-
ennials are the backbone of the gar
den and you will eventually want a
goodly showing of them.

When putting away woolens, let us
not forget that modern science teach
es us several interesting things about
moths.
First, that contrary to old beliefs
flying moths Do NOT eat wool. 1t
is the tiny worms Matched from their
eggs that do the damage.
Killing flying moths, then doesn't
guarantee protection, for invariably
when seen flying they have already
deposited the eggs on woolens some
where about the house.
Moth balls, cedar chests and other
smelly" compounds have no effect on
the Matching moth eggs. So the only
sure way to combat them is 70 moth
proof fabrics themselves.
This may be done by immersion in
gaso' nc; by spraying with an odor-
less colorless moth proofing solution
or by washing in water containing
an odorless moth-proofing powder
that gives the same result. This
treatment makes fabrics so distaste
full to moth worms that they viii
starve rather than feed on them.
