trip ended in 1872, and Mr.. Dellen-
baugh has done very little cooking
since. Perhaps when the boat tipped
over in rapids and most of the cook
ing utensils were lost, it discouraged
him.
Walter Davenport told me one of
the best football yarns I ever heard.
When his outfit was in France, there
were number of former gridiron
stars in it and to occupy moments Of
relaxation they formed an eleven. 1t
was such good eleven that it
trimmed all the other teams in the
division, but there was one big bird
on it who stood head and shoulders
above the rest. He tore any oppos-
ing offense into fragm ents and threw
the pieces away.
II know where that big boy is 60
ing after this mans war is over"
said one Of the former college stars.
Hes headed for Yale"
"Not on your life," said former
wearer of the Crimson. Gle is bound
for Harvard
eff you fellows want to know some
thing" said the coach, "he is not go
ing to either.''
Il suppose you already have him
tied up for your alma mater" said
the Yale and Harvard men accusing
ly and in unison.
NO." said the coach, 'but l know
something about that guy that neither
Of you know"
"What's that?" demanded the sus-
picious duo.
Merely" said the coach, "that it
happens he can neither read nor
write"
Hendrix. w. Van Loon tells me a
story of Dutch efficiency. He says
that when he was in foreign capitol,
a young Hollander, who had only one
arm, got a notice that he must re-
port at home for military duty. Co.
ing to his embassy, he forced his way
into the presence of the ambassador
and told his story.
"Look!" he exclaimed. 81 cannot
serve. You can see 1 have only one
arm"
personally" said the ambassador,
Il can see that what you say is true
but officially, can see nothing"
So the young man had to go home
and be excused by the army doctor,
but he did manage to make them pay
for the trip.
This reminds me Of the late war.
Once, in southern training camp, I
was detailed in charge of consider
able number of men who had been
sent down by draft boards. One Of
these men had steel brace on his
leg, which he had been. obliged to wear
since childhood and another was blind
IL one eye.

Crickets Fast Musicians

"Crickets are more skillful, in some
respects, than master violinists, for
they can play in fiftieth of second
notes that human fiddler can reach
only by sliding his finger far down on
the e string, and the insect repeats
the feat four times at every stroke of
its "bow," says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. DR.. Frank e. Lutz and w.
r. Hicks, of the American Museum Of
Natural History, recently assisted In
the production of "chirple" Of per-
forming cricket and learned many in
teresting things about this famous
natural musician.

Same Sans Toothbrush

AT night or in the morning or right
after meals, or any other time you
brush your teeth to keep them pretty
and white, look at your toothbrush,
and think of children in far away
lands.
You'd never guess what kind of
toothbrush boys and girls Of old
Japan used hundreds of years ago.
Just small stick Of bamboo with
the fibers at one end frazzled out like
a brushl With this funny affair little
Same San of old Japan would rub and
polish her teeth until they were as
clean as she could get them.
Gahiz, the Arab boy, uses tooth
brush, too. His is queer little stick
brush somewhat like that Of Same
San of old Japan. But Gahizs tooth
cleaner" is made of twig of sweet
scented myrtle, or lily root or a
strip of palm wood. In Arabia it is
considered so important to have clean
teeth that it has become part Of these
peoples religion. Little Gahiz not
only brushes his teeth morning and
evening and after meals, but also be-
fore he says his prayers. That's
pretty custom, don't you think so, to
have clean, sweet mouth with which
to say ones prayers? So fond are the
people of Arabia Of their sweet-scent-
ed toothbrushes (siwaks, they call
them) that they think them very nice
presents, indeed, and often give each
other cunning packets Of them tied
up with gay ribbons of gauze and
silk.
Away down in Africa lives black
Mahdi who is caravan runner, and
makes his living by carrying packages
strapped to his naked black back, or
balanced on top Of his woolly, black
head. He is strong and sturdy, and
can trot for miles and miles down the
jungle trails and can bear great loads.
Because it's so hot in Mahdi's land

"THE HUNGER STRIKE"
By JEAN NEWTON

The hunger strike is not an uncom-
mon maneuver on the part Of prison
ers who attempt to gain their freedom
because Of the desire on the part of
governmental authorities to avoid hav-
ing people die Of starvation while in
Jail.
This practice originated in Russia In
the Nineteenth century, where, on ac-
count of the terrible prison fare, it was
probably not overdifficult to starve
oneself to death.
What really brought this idea into
worldwide prominence, however, was
it's practice in England by suffragettes,
who were Jailed on account Of their
efforts for enfranchisement of their
sex-as recently as fifteen years ago.
Since then, there have been sporadic
hunger strikes, practically all of them
political prisoners both in the United
States and abroad.

took the party two years to make that
trip in oaken boats % feet long, made
in Chicago and shipped over the Union
Pacific to Green River, Wyo.
While on that trip, the cook taught
young Fred Dellenbaugh to make bis
cult. One day, he was left to take
care of the camp by the river bed
while the remainder of the party
climbed 5000 feet up the side of the
canyon. He promised to have some
biscuits ready on their return, but in
going over the provisions came across
a bag of coffee, which the cook had
ground. Mr.. Dellenbaugh then de-
cided on surprise.
He had heard of "coffee cake and
determined to make some. Fixing the
dough as ne would for biscuits, he
mixed with it a plentiful supply Of
the ground coffee, moulded it into
the shape of cake, and baked it in
an oven he constructed In addition,
he used some sugar, with the result
that The cake retained every thumb
mark as clearly as would good grade
of putty.
When the party returned, hungry
and tired, the cook took one look at
the cake, stirred up the fire, and
YEARLY reached for the bacon and po-
tatoes. But Mr. Dellenbaugh was not
to be discouraged. He later made a
cake favored with one bottle of lem
on extract taken on the trip, which
was pronounced great success. The

Says: 49,

THO REMOVE brown rings that
i come on tea and coffee cups rub
with salt moistened with water. They
will soon disappear.
Kerosene lamps should be filled
every day and the chimneys washed
once week. To insure a perfect
light, let every lamp have new wick
once a month, and just before light
ing rub the body or stand Of the lamp
carefully, so that all the smell Of the
oil is removed.
If furniture is rubbed the same way
as the grain, it will polish much
brighter and quicker.
When lighting birthday cake use
a taper. Light the candles in the
middle first and those on the outside
later.
Save all fruit parings. Put on to
boil with water to cover for 10 to
Is minutes, and then strain. These
juices make foundation for delicious
fruit drinks.
Salt meats, such as ham. tongue and
beef, which are to be boiled, should be
put in cold water and allowed to heat
slowly.
