"The City HEALTH" and ought to be

Pull your machine up alongside a

such as leafy green vegetables, fresh
fruit milk, dark bread and real but.

wouldn't do 1t with a limousine. This
highest fuel is remarkable in that II
builds up your automobile as well as
puts pep in your motor.
Run your human automobile Into the
garage each night for eight hours Of
rest Remember to turn on the fan by
opening windows and getting plenty of
fresh air. This will prevent fiat tires.
Run your automobile body onto the
wash rack daily. ..,
Keep the chewing apparatus clean.
Brush 1t night and morning.
Give your human car plenty Of wa

Dolphin Supreme Among
Prosecutors of Whales

Those "thresher sharks" Of fabulous
dimensions are reported from the south
coast as fast becoming formidable
rival Of the sea serpent and the big
gooseberry, writes Looker-on in the
London Daily Chronicle. They are
fairly common during summer around
Cornwall, where they do vast damage
to pilchard and mackerel nets, In
which they completely wind them
selves, like caterpillar In his chrys-
alis. The thresher shark is also called
the sea fox, from the remarkable tail
which he uses to brighten shoals of
fish, and so make them more easily
caught. There are sailors yarns that
this whiplike tail Is sometimes used
for fogging whales to death. But the
real prosecutor Of the whale is the glad
iator dolphin or sword grampus (Dol-
phinum gladiator), very carnivorous
fellow, who kills and eats whales,
seals, and even his brother porpoises.

Explaining Bent Gross

With reference to a question re-
Gently asked concerning the famous
st. Stephens crown Of Hungary and
the reason why the cross on top of II
Ia bent, a Hungarian reader, B. s.,
writes as follows: "As painter ]
painted signs which bear the Hun
garian royal crown. My master told
me they had revolution In 1848 and
some one buried the crown in the for
est Of Lakwa, southeast of Zlatica. No
body knew of 1t for years until Franz
Josef was to be crowned. The gov
eminent sent men to look for 1t and
by the help Of a Serbian shepherd
they found 1t with Its cross bent" This
story is confirmed by Henri de Wen
del's book, 1.-THE Real Francis-Joseph,"
which states: Before Kossuth left,
he buried with his own hands the Hun
garian crown, the old crown of st.
Stephen, In the neighborhoOd of the
frontier village of Orsova. When 1t
was recovered later, the little cross
on the top was found bent on one side.
From this time onward the arms Of
Hungary have borne a crown with
cross bent toward the left."-Detrolt
