Frogs In HGLUGii
Rank As Livestock

Frog culture is a newcomer to the
livestock industry in the Hawaiian
Islands. The Extension Service of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture recently organized two
boys All frog clubs to encourage
frog farming.
After studying the market for frog
legs and learning that the Honolulu
market alone could handle 5000
pairs of frog legs a week at 20 cents
pair, the Extension Service organ
lied clubs in west Hawaii ana on
the island of Wauai. Marketing spe-
cialists considered this demand suf-
ficient to make frog raising a pro-
fitable enterprise Other clubs will
be organized.
The agricultural experiment staN
ton imported two species of frogs
into Hawaii few years ago be-
cause they feed on certain insect
pests. They proved worthy insect
fighters and likewise acquired a wide
reputation for the cooking quality
of their hind legs. The natives call
these frogs, mountain chickens"
The club members plan to have a
frog show this winter in conjunction
with the annual poultry show. 1t
will be the first show of it's kind in
the Territory and possibly the first
in the United States.

Big Money Waiting For
Claimants

More than 100000 unclaimed
funds, estates and bequests, invOlV-
ing totals running into the millions
are now awaiting unknown owners
in this country, according to infOr-
nation collected in a survey made
for the American Magazine by Dar-
iel O'Sullivan, a lawyer who has
specialized in locating missing heirs.
The principal difficulty in distri-
buting this colossal wealth, Mr.. o.
Sullivan shows, is that most Amer
leans have very little information
about their forebears or distant rel
atives.
+ Since the Revolutionary War, the
average American has had at least
sixty grandparents, not to mention
collateral relatives by the hundreds
on both sides in every generation.
With such a vast number of an
cestors, there is always chance
that anybody may suddenly find a
neat inheritance thrust upon him.
Yet few American can recall even
the maiden names of their two
grandmOthers. Not one person in ten
can tell the names of their grand
parents and where they were born.
There are more unclaimed estates
in Southern California than in any
other section of the country. In re-
cent years it has become popular for
retired business men and their
wives to go to California to spend
their last days. Usually they have no
immediate relatives and no ties TO
hold them to-their home cities, and
when they die they often leave sub
stantial estates ,and no known heirs.
Savings banks hold thousands Of
dollars belonging to depositors who
have disappeared. These accounts
amount to more than $20,010, 900.
More than $100,000,0OO lies in the
English Court of Chancery awaiting
unknown owners.
However, for your own protec-
tion," Mr. O'Sullivan advises, re
member that legitimate investisa-
tors do not demand payment in adj
vance. If a stranger offers to col
lect an estate for you, tell him that
he can have a certain percentage of
the amount collected after he has
it, but don't advance him |
any fee or expense money. Above all
do not start to spend an inheritance
before you get it," "I%+ +-,

he found practical underwear in gay

the old gentleman had had to resist
giving really practical presents like
underclothes because he knew the
children liked color, and he wanted
them to have it, But this year while
shopping for his North Pole head
quarters he found that underwear
makers were taking durene yarns
and dyeing them soft blues, gay yell

underwear was never before in the

AS a result many young ladies

w for granted. They are so
necessary at this season of the
year, to enhance our holiday fowl
and to lend brilliant red to our

and prettily serve.
But actually cranberries are
very temperamental More money
has been made and more lost in
the culture of cranberries than in

it is only due to the risk which

A Difference in Height
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

The young man with whom
I am going is considerably
shorter than I. which detail
seems to worry him much more
than it does me, since he talks
about it continually and says
he would like it better if I we're
shorter. But when I suggest
that we quit going together his
feelings are hurt. I told him
we'd both better go out with
others, and that he probably
would find a girl whose size
was more to his taste, but he
won't do it. He doesn't seem
able to do without me, or to
forgive me for looking over his
head. PUZZLED.
Your young man shows a
rather weak side of his char
acter when he hunts trouble in
the difference of your height.
If he's in his early twenties he'll
probably outgrow what's moth

line vanity. He would like to
tower over you as screen lovers
do. But, if the gentleman is

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

The finger nails and toe nails
are. anatomically considered, a
modified form of hair. The skin
can change it's structure so that
outgrowths from it take vari-
Gus forms. In the classification
of the zoologist-hair, nails,
feathers, scales and the armour
of turtles are all appendages of
the skin. True horns also
originate from skin, but only
one animal has a true horn
the rhinocerouS. Cows horns
are outgrowths from the bone
covered with a layer of modi-
fled skin, true corneum. Deer'S
horns are entirely processes of
the frontal bone. And giraffe'S
horns, if you care to know, are
epiphyseal bones not connected
with the skull, and covered
with hairv skin.
Structure of Nails
But, to get back to man and
his nails, the structure of nails
shows them to be very thick,
dense layers of the stratum
corneum or surface part of the
skin. The nail is firmly at
tached oy strong connective
tissues to the periosteum, or
covering of the bone beneath.
but they only grow from
small part of the nail bed at
the base of the nail.
There are many peculiar
things about the growth of
nails. Like the hair, they grow
The Washington times., 1931-04-27

faster in the summer than in
the winter. They grow faster
on the right hand than on
the left in right-handed people
and vice versa. The growth
varies with age and with the
persons occupation. The finger
nails grow three times as fast as
the toenailS. Sickness slows
the rate of growth and it modi-
fies the form of the nail, caus-
ing transverse ridges. If a limb
is broken the nails on it's ex-
tremities grow slower than on
the other extremities for the
period of the knitting of the
bone.
Little White Spots
The little white spots that
sometimes appear in or under
the nail are due to air which
gets in between the layers or
lamellae of the nail. How the
air gets in I am sure I don't
know. The spots are called
gift spots" and 1 don't know
why that is, either. I would
like to know. Perhaps some of
my readers can tell me, al
though Tn not sure I know
what I'm going to do with the
information after I get it. But
it will be just as useful as what
. I know about giraffe horns.
The average rate of growth
of finger nails is one-third of
an inch a wtek. according to
the anatomist, Quain. although
this seems to be too much to
me.
