HOW TO TELL WHEN LUKE HAS
BEEN DRINKING

CA child's toy balloon is by DR..

pect breathes into the balloon and the air Is then
dubbed through a chemical mixture. II the man
has been drinking the liquid turns from red to
white."-news item0
No. 1.-The Sand Pail Test. Take a child's sand
pail. Let the person you suspect has been drinking
place. If he has had more than one drink Of modern
day liquor the pail will quickly turn into a paper
c~ontainer and then blow away.
No. a.-Baby's Bank Test. This Is similar to the
sand pail test but is preferable in a case where the
suspect has been drinking synthetic gin. Let the man
blow into the bank through the coin slot. II he has
been drinking straight gin the bank will crumble in
side OF half an hour. II he had any OF that Scotch lust
off a boat" the pennies in the bank will also crumble
No. 3.-Little willie's Bicycle Tire Test. This Is
quite popular, as so few homes have toy balloons
around the house. II you think Pop has been hitting
1t up again get him to blow up Juniors tire with his
breath. (Of course, II he does this without an argyll
ment. it will be pretty clear that he Is even worse than
you thought) After Pop has blown up the tire, place
II with the bicycle In the from. hall II you hear IN
explosion presently. which blows the bicycle through
the front parlor partition. you viii know that your
suspicious are correct
No. 4-Punching Bag Test. Escort the suspect 20
the bag and ask him If he will please blow 1t IN so
the children can play. After this has been done give
the bag On good punch. II the suspect has had on
or more drinks the bag should continue to bounce
for eight hours. hiccoughing all the time.
No. 5.-Stuffed Dog Test. After father has come
home from the club looking a little Uttered, put him
to bed and place a stuffed dog or any other toy
animal on the pillow beside him. II dad has had any
OF that stuff they sell as pre-war liquor today the
stuffed dog will not only get out Of bed but walk out
of the house.
No. 6-Paper Bag Test. Highly recommended for ITS
economy. If you suspect a man has been imbihing
freely ask him to blow up an ordinary paper bag.
Place a guinea pig inside bag and seal 1t. Open the
bag in ten seconds. II there is any trace OF the guinea
pig the suspect can't have been drinking much.

NEW YORK. June 5-Pl-Some-
time after June p, the first birth
day Of Charles Augustus Lindbergh,
Jr., his parents will leave him al
Englewood, N. j., with his grand
parents, Senator and Mrs. Dwight
w. MORROW, and fly over the Paci-
fic Ocean foy a vacation.
Preparations for the flight are
being rushed. At the North Beach
airport. Queens, mechanics are tit
ting the colonies Lockheed plane
with pontoonS tor use in the Jour
ney.
While details are unsettled, the
Pacific flight probably will be
made from the Alaskan coast over
the Aleutian Islands, across the
600-mile stretch Of ocean and over
the tip Of Kamatchka. along the
kurile Islands to Japan.
This Is the same route the Army
Rognd-the-W World filters took. An
other possibility Is a more northern
route. which would only necessitate
flying over a 56-mile stretch Of
water at Boring Strait.
Mrs. Lindbergh, the former Ann
Morrow, would be at the controls
with her husband. relieving him OF
the full strain Of such a fight. The
plane they will use is the same one
she helped pilot IN the l4-hOur
flight from California to New York
last year.
The colonel will have different
problems than on his Paris flight
four years ago. For that he had a
tail wind and other excellent con-
ditions. On the Pacific he may eX-
pect wind. fog and storms. Flying
TO Paris he needed no exact deter
mination Of his position.
Possibly the Lindberghs will greet
another flier while over the Pacific.

One of the cathedrals Of the world
famed in song and story is that of
Notre Dame. Victor Hugo immortalized
IL long ago in The Hunchback of
Notre Dame" and since that time it
has occupied a place in literature as
we'll rs history.
In view of this fact it is doubly in
teresting to note that the early history
ce the structure is clouded in haZy
legend, In the Musee Cluny you will
find the remains of an old church of
the fourth century, built after Roman
plans and Of Roman material. 1t was
on this site that the present church
was founded in 1853, when Pope Alex
ander III laid the corner stone.
From the old church were taken
the sacred relics-a bit Of the crown
of trorrs, a nail from the true cross
and fragments of the cross itself-and
these today repose in the sacristy OF
the cathedral There you will find the
coronation robes Of Napoleon I, the
Gobelin tapestry - Napoleon's gift -
used to cover the floor on state occa-
sions, and the bloodstained clothing OF
