THE MARRY
GO-ROUND

q" A MAN has no respect for
"A a woman's dyed hair any
more!" sighed Mrs. Green Bit
terly, as she gathered up the
cards and rang for tea.
"I wonder who's kissing her
now?" hummed Mrs. Divot,
maliciously.
TRYING, you mean." cor
rected Mrs. Green. THAT i'm
pudent young scapegrace. Bob
Hazard, actually had the au-
dacity to-to-make a pass"
"What?" cried Mrs. Divot
mirthfully. Not Baby Bobby
just home from college? How
on earth did you turn the child
DOWN."
f''I don't know that he rs
down." answered Mrs. Green,
sadly, land he's certainly not
'OUTP Their nerve is cast
iron these days, and their van
ity is bullet-proof. Nothing you
can say ruffles their COM
placency or feazeS their self
assurance! They simply won't
believe that a married woman
actually loves her own husband.
It's too quaint!
"You may succeed in con-
vincing a man that you won't
be kissed or that you can't be
kissed-but never in convincing
him that you don't WANT to
be kissed! You may persuade
him that you have a strong
will-but never that you won't
have a weak moment
"If you squelch his affection
ate gesture he is not hurt-he
is merely astonished that you
could be so blind to your golden
opportunity. It never occurs to
him that you may be a trlfle
fastidiouS in your tastes, and
may actually PREFER your
own husbands kisses. He is
just amazed at your marvellous
tSplf-c0ntroI'
''You may convince him that
his attempts at petting are
waSted-but you can never
make him believe that you are
not FLATTERED by them. You
may persuade him that you are
not that kind of a girp-but.
never that he Is not YOUR
kind of a man.
"A man will look anywhere
on earth for the reason for q
woman's coldness - except in
the LOOKING GLASS;"
ooh, don't be SO hard on
them" laughed Mrs. Divot
good-naturedly. when you
think of all the encouragement
they receive from the flirtatious
married women who clutter up
the country clubs these days,
you can't blame the men for
thinking themselves irresistible"
Perhaps not" admitted Mrs.
Green grudgingly. But they
might at least be trifle dis
eliminating. They NIGHT give
q woman credit for being de-
voted to her husband until she
proves herself otherwise!"

Daughters Temper Not
Improved by Education

The Church OF England high
school for girls at Haifa, Palestine,
is attended by Moslems, Jews and
Bahai, together with Armenian,
English and Greek Orthodox Chris
tians. The school believes that all
forms of education should rest on
the solid foundation of religion.
Scripture is given first place in the
school curriculum. The rule is that
all must assemble in the early
morning to ask Gods blessing on
the work of the day. Parents ex-
pect a great deal from this school,
Have | not already paid fifty
piastres for Harnahs education"
said an irate Arab father one morn
ing, land have I not told you that
all this money was not spent only
that my daughter may be clever in
history and geography but that she
should learn first of all to be a
good girl? How can you defend
yourself, for Hannah has already
been two weeks in your school and
yet she is still little she-Satan at

To an "Amiable Child"

There is a monument near
Grants tomb in New York, the IN
scription on which reads: Erect
ed to the memory of an amiable
child, st. Clair Pollock died July
Is, 1897, in the fifth year of his
age Man that is born of woman
is of few years, and full of trou-
ble He cOmeth forth like flower
and is cut down. He fieeth also as
shadow and continueth not" The
child was the nephew Of George
Pollock, a New York merchant who
at one time owned ClaremOnt. In
this conveyance of the property in
1900 he stated: There is a small
inclosure near your boundary
fence within which lies the re-
mains Of a favorite child, covered
by a marble monument You will
convey a peculiar and interesting
favor upon me by allowing me to
convey keeping it, however,
always enclosed and sacred. There
is a white marble funeral urn pre-
pared to place on the monument
which will not lessen its beauty"

All Accorded Honor in
Scottish War Memorial

No one seems to be forgotten in
Scotland's wonderful war memorial
which is built on the rock of Edin-
burg..
There it stands glowing with the
carved and colored badges of every
Scottish regiment that served in
the World war, while in bronze
frieZes or stained-glass windows,
sailors, artillerymen, airmen, chap
lains, nurses and other workers are
depicted. Even birds and beasts
have their memorials.
Carved on the walls are the
words Remember also the humble
beasts that served and died" Then
come medallions framing the heads
of horse, a mule, a camel, mes
sage dog, and other animals, with
cage of carrier pigeons and
group of canarles and mice in
scribed, "The tunnelers' friends"
because these little creatures are
used underground, where their
swift collapse when the air becomes
poisonous is a warning to men.
In the shrine is block of marble
set on the rock which rises through
the floor, and on this block is a
casket given by the king and
queen inclosing books containing
the name of every Scotsman who
fell In the war. 1t is a place Of
pilgrimage to Scotsmen all over
the world, this holy place where
the noblest heroes and the hum
blest creatures are all remembered
together.

Korean Pockets Due to
Spread of Christianity

Christianity Is responsible for
one change in Korean dress-the
use of pockets, according to Mrs.
Roy K. Smith Of CLARIFYING, Korea,
who says: There were no pockets
in the old Korean coat, but the
Christian needed a place for his
Bible, for coming to church with
out a Bible Is practically unknown
in Korea. Following American
example he made large pocket In
his jacket, and later several on
a sleeveless coat or vest for his
Bible and other priced treasures.
But it is not enough to carry the
Bible in ones hand or pocket. We
have many who carry great sec
tions, even whole books, in their
hands and can recite without mis-
take long passages. One man
walked a hundred miles to recite
the Sermon on the Mount to his
pastor"

Derivation OF ct ariff"

According to Edwards words,
Facts and Phrases" the word
tariff comes from the Moorish
name "Tarifa," fortress that
stands on Cape Tarifa, Spanish
promontory commanding the en-
trance to the Mediterranean. When
the NI0ors had possession they
levied duties at certain fixed rates
upon all merchandise passing in or
out Of the straits. The Century
dictionary and other authorities on
etymology. however, give the word
a different origin. 1t comes from
an italian word. "tariffa." mean
ing casting of accounts" or list
of prices" which was itself derived
from the Arabian "arif," meaning
knowing"

No Place Like Home

A person is hurt every 80 sec
Onds in the American home. The
trouble is that is where the jay
walkers, the speed boys, the young
sters who race for crossings, the
idiot who takes the wrong side of
the street, the daredevils at inter
sections, the morons on the wheel,
the drunk drivers, the aged, the
babies that play in the street. the
absent-minded, the fellows who race
through signals, the near-sighted,
the road hogs, the slow pOkes, folks
who are just learning to drive, chill
dren who are too young to get a
license, the careless, the incOmpe-
tent, the scamp who gets mad, all
live.-LOs Angeles Times.

Bid for Fame

The late Luther Burbank said one
day to a Los Angeles reporter:
almost any man can succeed IL
his aim Is a good one. Too many
men adopt bad aims.
"A long-haired musician rushed

wife:

Earliest Savings Banks

It was in 1899 that Rev. Joseph
Smith of WendOver, England, be-
gan taking care of the savings of
his parishioners throughout the
summer ard Christmas, adding a
third TO the total Of each deposit.
A few years later Eey. Henry Dun
can of Scotland began travelling

establishment of savings banks for
the poor The first institution Of
the sort in America was organized
in 1916. chiefly by Condy Raguet,
an American diplomatic and eco
nomic writer.

Midshipmen

The name "midshipman" origin
ated In the British navy more than
200 years ago from the fact that
the young men who were training
to become officers were assigned
quarters amidships on the lower
deck. Thus "midshipmen" came to
be applied TO cadets or line and ex-
ecutive officers of the lower grade.
When the American colonies or
ganized their navy, the British
practice was followed In this re
spect, as well as In other ranks.

Magnihcation

The magnifying power of a tele-
scope is proportional to its length
as well as the shOrtness of focus
of its eyepiece. Thus the use of
different eyepieces yields different
magnifying powers, but those ex-
ceeding 1000 are seldom used be-
cause of the trembling of the
earth's atmosphere. Compound
microscopes may magnify as much
as 1000 times.

The boiling point of water varies
with the pressure. In water under
ordinary conditions 1t is 212 degrees
Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Cent?
grade. but 1t becomes less with less
ened atmospheric pressure, as In
ascending a mountain, being low
cred about one degree Fahrenheit
Tor every $50 feet of ascent or one
degree Centlgrade for every 961
feet. The boiling point of water at
the summit OF Mt. Blanc (15,7S1
feeO Is about So degrees Cent?
grade. 1t would take less heat to
raise the temperature of water to
80 degrees Centigrade than it would
take to raise 1t to 100 degrees Gen.
tgfade. Thus water would boil
more quickly at higher level.

The sea voyage to South Africa
is the fair weather voyage of the
world. Capetown, once remote
outpost Of civilization, is today one
Of the worlds finest cities. 1t Is
not only beautiful and delightfully."-
situated but the Cape is historical
as well, for It was here In 1887
that Dias saw the sea-route to In
dia and this melted Columbus, who
in his search for India found
America instead. The discoveries
between 1857 and 1897 mark this
era as the dawn after the Dark

1t is common mistake to sup
pose that honey bees collect wax
from flowers. Beeswax is a prod
uct Of digestion and is secreted by
the workers in the form of tiny
scales which appear between the
segments on the under side Of the
abdomen. The notion that bees
collect wax from flowers undoubt-
edly arose from the fact that they
collect pollen, which is carried to
the hive in small masses attached
to the hairs Of the hind legs. This
pollen, often confused with wax. is
converted into bee-breed by mix
ing it with honey.

Will you shut your trap and let me
talk or not?"
about one more crack like that"
said Mary Della with spirit, and
I'll give you something to talk about
If you've got anything to say, say
it, and quit barking at me when I
try to help you out"
A very heavy and prolonged
silence.
1.-THE trouble with you joe Mary
Della said at last, is that you've
got to have things your own way too
much. You've had a clear road with
me for months; you scared all the
other fellows off and figured you
could do just about as you please,
Don't scoWl at me. I'm telling you
what's good for you.
But you haven't made good use
Of your time, Joe. I will say you
got me out to the Saturday night
dances pretty regular and you kept
coming around often enough to keep
me looking for you. But you passed
up a lot of good chances to take me
places and show me a good time.
Girls like to have their fellows show
little interest, Joe, throw EN- to
good show once in a while, give 'em
things, tell EN- they're pretty,
whether they are or not, make 'em
think you're crazy about EN-.
did you start to say something,
Joe?"
Joe snarled. when I start to say
something, you won't have any trou-
BILE hearing me"

fore you butted in I was going to
say that while you haven't been any
Romeo, I've told myself that you
must have to work pretty hard. and
I didn't have any right to expect
any more from you But, then,
there's the way you act when you
do take me out. Anybodyd think
you'd bought me on the dollar down
plan and made the last payment.
Il said last night was out and
meant it, but I've got to make you
see what I'm driving at. You stand
me up and then come around to-
night with lame excuse about
playing craps.
It's no compliment to me to tell
me you couldn't keep a Gate because
you lost money playing craps. To
tell the plain truth, Joe, 1 always
had feeling that decent people
didn't play craps ="
Nobody plays craps" Joe snorted.
They shoot 'em!"
We'll, you'll have to overlook my
ignorance. Joe. I never did go in
very strong for craps myself. But
getting back to the subject. I swal-
lowed the excuse, Joe, and let you
