ed rascal he is-and all the old ladies who were
foolish enough to be out on such a day whirled
round and round and tried, almost always in vain,
to keep their woeful umbrellas rigth side up.
I sat by the window and remembered things
way back down yonder in the years. I remembered a
little curly headed boy who used to rush cut in the
rain and hold up a stick and play that the stick was
a perfectly good umbrella.
How crestfallen and humbled little Curleyhead
was when somebody rushed out and pulled him out
OF the rain and how surprised he always was to
find that his play umbrella didn't keep him dry after
all.
And I remember another little boy, straight
haired this one was with black eyes. How he used
to watch the rain drops running down a certain
great pane of clear glass In a certain house, now
far and far away.

Will you be kind enough to help

have been married one year and

a mother, my husband works out
of-town and I live here with my
mother. What I wan you to advise
me is, he has changed SO much in
the past five months, as if he does
not care for me any more. He
knows I am a true wife, but there
is a man there and he and his wife
are having trouble and he goes
around with other women. Do you
think my husband Is following him?
1 love him sc much and he knows it.
Please tell me how to ask and what
to say when he is that way. He is
only twenty-three.

Billie: 7 am sure that your hus-
band loves you, my dear, and I am
also sure that your imagination is
to blame for all your worry. At
this time you should be particularly
cheerful and happy, but I know how
doubts creep in, particularly in cir
cumStances such as yours. Cannot
you live with your husband instead
of away from him? If you cannot,
however, try and keep yourself oc-
cupied and happy and most of all
contented and cheerful. You owe
this not only to yourself but to your
husband and the blessed baby that
is coming to you. Don't worry, dear.
I am sure everything is right for
you. And my best wishes to you.

Porpoiss Superior to
Man in Size of Brain

The porpolse, usually considered
stupid creature, is now said to have u
much larger brain than man, This
is a severe blow to mans pride In his
well-developed cerebral hemisphere.
From the evolutionary point of view
the porpoise is more highly developed
than man, for after reaching the cat
or dog stage Of development 1t took up
IN aquatic habitation and underwent
further evolutionary changes to suit
It's new surroundings. The foreleg
changed to fin, and the hind leg dis
appeared entirely. The skull broad
ened at the sides and shortened in
front, so that the nose was forced up
above the eyes, where It became
blow-hole.
The changes In the brain are being
studied to determine how much they
are due to aquatic environment.

Bat Tribe Members
of Animal Kingdom

Bats are animals, not birds. They
suckle their young at the breast and
are elasscd by biologists rs flying
mammals. There are more than 2Ho
species and suhspecles OF bats In
North America alone, Some of the
tropical species are blood-sucklng
vampires, and others are fruit eaters.
although neurly all the bats OF the
United States and farther north are
lnscctlyorous. Usually the female
gives birth to one young, but cases
Of twins are not uncommon. One
authority says on this subject: "They
never make any nests or even attempt
to fix over the crnnnies where they hide
and where the little bats are born
These helpless little things IRE not
left AT home at the mercy Of foragine
rats and mice, When the old bat illes
of into the twilight the youngsters
often 90 with her, clinging about her
neck. At times she deposits them on
the branch OF a tree, where they hang
sheltered by the leaves"

Flood Of Blood

The black natives of the Maya hills
of Assam live under the tyranny Of n
system of demons called Mats, who
are thought to be present everywhere
and who control or influence every
act of those miserable people. These
gods are all-powerfu. In order to
propitiate them there must be con
stunt flowing of blood. When II is
not possible to sacrifice the lives Of
those nelghboring tribes upon whom
they make war, they find food OF
blood by taking the lives of their own
people and the women of the tribes
must supply the blood with their
lives. Great Britain exercises some
supervision over this country and IL
at this time battling with the prob
lem of preventing this terrible orge.
II has already been successful In dis
couraglng similar practice In some
other localities.

Commerce Doomed by
Methods of Counting

For ages even the most intelligent
men could count only to ten or
twenty, the number of their fingers
and toes. Then sticks and stone
counters we're laid In rows to lndi
cate and compute numbers involved In
barter and trade. In the earliest civ.
iiizati0ns symbols were employed to
some extent, then In Egypt they had
the happy thought of drawing pic
ture to represent each quantity. Thus,
frog equaled 100000 and man
with arms outstretched In admiration
signified 100000. The Greek and
Roman systems of letters for nu-
merals were considered great ad
vance, but only the most learned
could do any adding or subtractine
with them. The decimal system was
brought by an ambassador from India
into Arabia in I73 A. D., and Euro
pean countries got their numerals
from Arabia In the Twelfth century.
1t proved popular right away and
teachers of the new system were In
great demand. Trade and industry,
so long damned up by lack of any
simple method of keeping accounts or
doing business with persons at dis
lance, sprang into life-and the Com
mercial era was born. = Detroit
