dent?" the clerk asked a second time.
Mary Ellen stared dumbly.
"He means how long you've iivat
here" Mr.. West explained, loosely.
1--WE just come. subj"
"Sorry-have to be resident of the
country for six months" the clerk re-
GREETED with sympathetic smile.
Mary Ellen's knees were knocking
together when she left the courthouse
and Mr.. Vests ardor was slightly
dampened.
"What-what are we going to tell
your folks if we go back not married?"
Mr.. West questioned her weakly.
For the first time Mary Ellen rose
to the occasion. Not for nothing had
she read her initial best seller month
ago.
Tell them we came to dinner in town
and had tire trouble" she improvised.
"And-and you might as well get me
the dinner, for I'm hungry"
She was all of a sudden gIoriously
happy that she was not getting mar
ried and could still look for a hero
like the blond bridegroom at the court
house.
Mr.. West, reflected Mary Ellen,
tired and got peaked-looking easily.
Probably he'd better look for a heftier
woman to run his farm and handle
his young 'uns.

great height, overcoming gravity with
out eXertion. Both the soaring and
sailing birds are proficient in the use
of several factors in the art of flying
that have not-been mastered in prin-
ciple or practice by the most skiiful
aviators.
The size of the wings seems to make
no difference in the migratory flight.
Though the Carolina rail has small,
short wings. apparently i'll adapted to
long journeys, it crosses the Caribbean
sea with ease. The humming bird.
whose wings move so fast they can
not be seen, crosses the Gulf of Mex
leo, distance of 500 miles, in single
night. In fact, birds with small wings,
with the exception Of the rail, are in
variably faster than their long-winged
consorts.
The humming bird is capable of a
trick that probably never will be met
by the plane. When extracting the
nectar from flowers. it finds II neces
sary to fly backwards. Nature still
maintains her supremacy in the air
over man.

First to Use Coal Oil

The first to introduce the use of coal
oil, or Kerosene" in the United States
and Canada was DR.. Abraham Gesner,
a distinguished Canadian geologist.
Doctor Gesner, after long experiment
tatiOn. discovered how to produce oil
that could be used in lamps for illu-
minating purposes, from bituminous
shale and camel coal. Though he
gave the name Kerosene" to his dis
covery it was popularity called coal oil.
Following the discovery of petro-
leum in Pennsylvania in 1859. and la
ter in many other sections Of North
America, kerosene became the Brinci-
pal product of the distillatiOn Of the
crude oil. Like most inventors, Doc
tor Gesner reaped little financial bene-
fit from his discovery, which was des-
tined to be the foundation Of scores Of
immense fortunes.

Plane Far Outclassed by Feathered Marvels

In flying efficiency the bird is far
superior to the most modern plane,
though the bird wastes considerable
energy in its aerial journeys, while
the plane wastes none.
The birds forward motion of the

uneconomical way of applying power,
because the stroke is wasted. and the

Sweet Potato Has High
Value on Tropical Menu

In the tropics where the plant
lives from one year to the next, the
sweet potato is eaten as a substitute
for bread, and in Latin America it
is perhaps the most important single
item of food. In Jamaica, where
sweet potatoes and yams are the
principal item of native food, the
vines are let to run on poles and
the big fieshy roots are carefully
removed from time to time without
disturbing the vines.
The sweet potato is an exceeding
ly important crop in our southern
states, where it is second only to
the common potato. Vans and Jer-
Seys are the two common varieties
to be found in the United States.
Vans are best candied, but the Jer-
sey is the best all around variety for
boiling, MASKING, baking or combin-
ing with other foods. Vans are
large with brilliant, salmon-c0lored
flesh while the Jerseys are smaller,
with light lemon-tinted flesh.

The Affronted Mouiik

Theodore Dresser, talking at a

A new dollar bill was recently put
into circulation to find out how much
work a dollar does. Attached to the
bill was a note asking each successive

for which he used the money. In IA

Tobacco in History

The tobacco plant was taken to Eu-
rope in 1893 by Francisco Fernandes,
who had been sent by Philip the Sec
ond of Spain to investigate the prod
ucts of Mexico. Jean NicOt, the French
ambassador to Portugal, sent seeds of
the plant to the queen. The services
rendered by Nicot in spreading a
knowledge of the herb have been COM
memorated in the scientific name of
the genus Nicotiana. While the plant
came to Europe through Spain, its use
for smoking purposes spread to the
continent from England. Ralph Lane,
first governor of Virginia, and Sir
Walter Raleigh, who first used it as
smoking tobacco. introducing it into

Traces of Ancient Race

Prof. Leo Frobenius believes he
has traced race of sailor pioneers
who sailed outriggers from southern
Arabia to South Africa at least 1000
years ago. He announced his theory
after studying hundreds of photo
graphs of ruins he discovered re-
Gently at Hampi, fifty miles from
Charwar. He said the Hampi ruins
bore close resemblance to the great
Zimbabwe ruins in southern Rhode
STA, and were from 1000 to 5000
years old. Details of architecture
were identical, he said. Frobenius
declared he was convinced the Zim-
babwes were a seafaring race orig
mating from the Sumerian civiliza-
ton.

Made Shad Roe Popular

Sixty years ago, customers of New
York restaurants considered shad a
delicacy but there was little demand
for the roe. This state of affairs was
changed, however, when chef went
to market one day, saw the rOes
tossed aside, bought some and pre-
pared them with green peas and a
mealy potato as a special dish, which
sold for % cents. The dish took the
fancy of the customers and became
a Friday feature.-Detroit News.

Altadena, Calf, has a mile-long

They are now about so feet high, with
their branches spreading from 30 to 40
