INVITED
TO THE
SILVER
JUBIL

A GREAT occasion for the family
silver! Instead of polishing tar
nished pieces, try this: Put the
silver, with a tablespoonful of
White King Granulated Soap,
in an aluminium pan, and let il
come slowly to a boil. When it
comes out-Presto!-the tarnish
is gone!
The explanation is that the
farnish adheres TO the aluminium.
But pans are easily cleaned-and
silver is hard TO polish.
And that's only one of many
uses for White King. 1t washes

Forest Waste ALARMING

Both the supply of timber and the
expected growth fall far short Of the
needs Of the nation, writes e. p.
Meinecke in the Journal Of Forestry.
Devastation of productive forest land
through forest fires and destructive
logging, promoted by waste in the
woods, in manufacture, and in USE Is
progressing ut an alarming rate. The
main difficulty in dealing with the
decline Of American forests lies In
the chaotic condition Of the lumber
industry which controls four-fifths OF
the forest lands Of the country. This
condition is due partly to oppressive
state taxation but mainly to internal
disorders of an economic nature aris-
ing from land speculation and Had.
vised financing In the past.

Educator Refuses to
See Limit on Learning

Instances of elderly people who
have accomplished prodigies of learn
ing are frequently adduced as en-
enlargement to the average person of
mature years. If so-and-so, the ia
nous musician, could learn Hebrew
at eighty, then John Smith need not
despair of mastering any subject he
may fancy, even though his years Of
youthful vigor in acquisition may be
long behind him. Thus the argument
has run. probably without quite con-
vincing John Smith. For he has
felt, as most of us feel, an increasing
difficulty of concentration and reten-
ton as his school and college years
have receded into the past.
DR.. Herbert Sorenson of the Uni
versity of Minnesota has been max
ing experiments and he says that the
only trouble with John Smiths mind
at fifty is that he hasn't kept it
exercised. Waterbury Republican.

Two-story House in
London just a Bluff

Would you believe that in London
there Is two-story house complete
with front door, windows, and bal
comics, but only five feet thick from
front to back and possessing no key
hole, door bell, letter box, or inhabi-
tants? Well, there is, and If you
want to see it you have only to ask
a taxidriver to take you to No. %
Leinster gardens. He will probably
think you are pulling his leg, for
most Of them know all about it.
Here is the story of this queer
house that isn't house at all. Many
years ago the Underground railway
built line through Leinster gar
dens, one Of London's most dignified
residential quarters. The inhabitants
of the gardens protested violently
against the hideousness of an open
culvert at the mouth of the tunnel
beneath them. So the railway peo-
pie covered it up by building a dunn
my house. From the railway track
it is simply blank wall; from the
gardens it looks like a well built
house, complete in every detail.
The house has been the scene of
many practical jokes. Not long ago
hundreds of invitations were sent
out by some jester to party there.
Meantime it is always providing puz-
zles for trade canvassers and others
who ask policemen where to find
the letter box and the door bell that
do not exist,-Exchange
