When it Is time to dine, fat oyster
Is sought. The table manners Of the
star fish are unusual. He folds the
oyster tight in his arms and with his
tube-feet he presses the shell close to
his mouth. The oyster struggles vio-
lently as the suction tubes begin TO
pull his valves apart. Then the mouth
opens into loose bag, which comes
out and Is pushed between the valves
Of the oyster shell and wrapped about
the oyster. Finally it is completely
digested, the bag is again swallowed

canny way Of occurring Going to

The next letter asks: Where does
man sit in taxi when driving with
two girls? Where would he sit at the
theaterT"
Answer-He sits on the let-down seat
opposite OF, If the seat be very wide,
he perhaps sits between them or at one
side. This is one Of the most unimpor-
tant of rules. However, at the theater
man always sits on the aisle, If they
have aisle seats.
Another letter asks: "Is a young
girl, dining out with young man, ex-
pected to tip the waiter or waitress, or
does the young man take care Of
both?"
Answer-The man gives the tip when
he pays the bill. She should, however,
be prepared to give tip to the woman
in the coat room in case she checks
her wrap.

Helpful Ways Bring Happiness
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

and with it the desire to help those less
fortunate. double power exists. Most
wealthy persons realize that respon-
sibility rests on them, and muniflcent
beQuestS and donations are made to
charities, organizations, churches, cities,
etc, which especially appeal to them
and whose needs are great. Also
the extent Of personal aid given which
is unknown to outsiders would be amaz-
ing in the majority Of cases. The bene-
factions Of the rich are chiefly of the
monetary sort, for it Is this helpful me-
dunn which they have to contribute.
It is not they alone who lend help
ing hand even in the giving of money.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
are given annually in sums which, to
the donors seem trif1ing. but which rep
resent the full extent Of their ability.
So even in. money ways, the ability to
help does not lie solely with the rich
Practically every one who is not him
self destitute contributes dimes or dol
lars to the needy. Usually it is the per-
son of moderate means who comes in
closest contact with the pressing needs
of others. What these persons do to
relieve suffering and want is direct and
speedy. These two things often count
so much that the timely small sum is
as welcome and as helpful as larger
sums at less crucial moments, however
welcome the latter may be.
In speaking of the ability to help
others, however, more ways than giving
money were meant. The person who
has flower garden will find her ability
to help increased, during certain seasons
of the year, when bouquets can be
piucked and sent to cheer friends in
the city or those who are i'll There is
an uplifting efficacy in gay blossoms
and fragrant flowers. City dwellers
miss this, and so the bouquets sent them
from an abundant garden bring happi-
ness. This is helpful restorative. If
you have kitchen garden, you can pro-
vide fresh vegetables, which are an up
building luxury.
Despite the fact that automobiles are
so generally owned, every one who has
a car knows of those who do not have
them. A drive to such persons is
treat. It lightens the burdens Of
day to have such recreation. Then,
too, there are semi-invalids TO be taken
out for quiet drives along roads free
from traffic. Some thoughtful persons
take children motoring from institu-
tions, people from old folks homes, the
deaf. the blind, etc. While the latter
cannot see the beauty around them,
they are very sensitive to it, and it does
them good.
ANY sharing of pleasures which one
has. as well as the giving of articles or
food, is helpful. The person who really
wishes to help others cannot wait for
more propitious circumstances. She
must do what she can while she can.

Is far more interesting in this
position. He has no head. no
H. legs, but he has five long, taper
ing arms. The skin Is covered
with queer little knobs and blunt
prickles in a network design. The arms
are called rays" and there are usually
five of them. Where two arms form an
angle there is q larger knob marked
by numerous fine lines, this Is a water
tubercle and acts as filter through
which the sea water may pass into the
body. In the very center OF the star"
there is an opening circled by stiff
bristles, which is the mouth. Each ray
or arm has a groove or furrow and on
either side are rows of little soft, rod
like tubes with suckers at the tips.
These are the only feet he has, but
they are mighty efficient ones. At the
tip of each ray there Is q ruby spot
which is an eye.
On land the creature Is helpless and
when he Is handled and turned over on
his back in shallow water, he draws his
little suction feet into their little
pockets and remains still until he thinks
all danger has passed. Then you see
holes like so many wee worms. They
wave about and act as though they
were trying to reach something. That
is Just what they are trying to do. At
the edge of the rays, some Of the feet
have bent over far enough to touch
sand. Others soon get their hold and
gradually the fish is righting itself.

told the other to lie down and take a

The Negro shivered. He shook his

his teeth clicked.

The Indian then lay down to drink.

MERGER REVISION
Rise of Rail Stocks Spurs In.
terest in Date of Pro-
posed Consideration.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 25.-The spec
tacular rise of stocks and bonds of rail-
roads connected with the Eastern four
trlInk-line merger, which has already
received the qualified approval of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, is
arousing conjectures among financial
interests as to just when the proposed
consolidation will be effected.
The original plan to consolidate the
Eastern lines into four large systems
was filed by the railroads with the In
terstate Commerce Commission. After
lengthy consideration, the commission
handed down its approval of the basic
idea with number of qualifying strings
attached.
Hesitant to Accept Plan.
At the present moment, the executives
Of the four trunk lines apparently are
undecided whether to accept the modi-
fed merger plan or request the COM
mission to review the entire scheme in
an attempt to iron out some of the fea-
lures which the railroad officials have
found Objectionable.
Stocks of some of the roads which
are to be incorporated into the conSoli-
dation, such as Lackawanna, Reading,
Lehigh Valley Pere Marquette and Erie.
have climbed from 400 to 1000 per cent
In market value above their years lows.
Some of the bonds have also gained
from 100 to 200 per cent.
While the Interstate Commerce Com
mission consolidation plan is not radi-
cally different from that proposed by the
executives, it raises some controversial
questions which may have to be settled
before the merger is put into operation.
PROPOSAL Irks Pennsy.
For instance. the revised plan is said
TO be somewhat irksome to the PennSyl-
vania because it requires that road to
relinuuish its trustee control Of the Bos-
ton g. Maine and the New Haven as
prerequisite to approval of the Pennsyl-
yania's acquisitions in the merger.
It was recently suggested that COM
promise might be reached by permitting
the various roads to maintain their
present identities with control vested
In some sort of an interlocking COVER
norship.
