Jack Roberts JO1nerS, due 10 a four point win over Vic Bakers Wonder boys, while Jack MOriar- tvs Bushmen were being showed four in reverse by George Sulli- vans CroOners, find themselves the sole occupants of the coveted first rung in the current standing. The Martyrs, taking advantage Of an Off-night on the part of Ed Me- Leans Muscle Men, emerged with four points. This clean sweep plac- es the Martyrs one point in arrcar of the Roberts first placers. Ray LautenscliIager's Cowboys have ap- parently recovered from their re- cent slump for they hog tied the Galipeau Serenaders for four points which places them on the third perch just two points away from the top. The rest of the pack follow in close order.
 A pat on the back for Ed Me- Lean. There are a few bowlers in the league who enjoy bowling com petition the way this Maestro" of Yell does. His chatter can always be depended upon to upset his op- ponents to the angora wandering stage, which usually results in an averag~ drop on the night when they oppose him. Best of all, Ed is one of those rare birds who though able to dish it out, is also very cap able to taking it himself. A fighter to the last ditch, even when victory seems hopeless he is in there en- couraging his gang to do dire things to the opposition. At the termination of battle, on a night r.; 1;., ha wrong end, his face retains that same cocky grin that seems to ex- press his thoughts of Never mind I'll get you next time."

GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS IS STATION WFOE OPERATING ON A WAVE LENGTH OF 379 KILOCYCLES WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERAL RADIO COMMISSION.
 Draw up a chair and listen to the story of the City Slickers and the Country Boys. Every week the early arrivals in the bowling league usually sit down for a few games of cards. Pat Sullivan and Jack Graham, the City Slickers, chal- lenged Billy Sardinsky and Speed Depietro to a game of setback, thinking they would be couple of pushovers. We'll, they played three games before bowling and seven afterward and the Country Boys own the 10 straight games. The title of this little play is Setback at Setback" or "Virtue Trium- phant," or something. When last seen Graham was hopping a ride home on the back of snow blow and Sullivan was walking up North Main street, clad in a barrel and singing: Brother, Can You Spare Q Dime?"

Fine Foods as Well as Economy
By LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

with an equal apportionment, the fam
lily can enjoy many of the best things
without any suggestion OF extrava-
gance.
For example. when chickens are served
at a dinner, the hom maker can have
vegetables which are plentiful at the
time, and so are not costly. These, well
cooked and of the sort the family likes,
will bring the balance of the cost of the
meal within price allowance. They
should be eaten in larger quantities than
the chicken. which is the choice morsel
for the meal.
When the higher price OF a food
means that it is actually worth more,
then getting the best is economy, or at
least not extravaganza. For example,
when such things as tea or coffee are
higher priced it may mean that their
strength is such that less is required in
the making than cheaper grade. The
extravaganza in using the more ex-
pensive varieties then consists in the
homemaker's putting in as much as if
the quality were poorer Less will give
equally satisfactory results.
In vegetables and fruits there may
be waste in those which cost less, while
those which cost more may be so fresh
that every bit of the edible parts can
be served. In butter, when a higher
price signifies that the buttermilk has
been we'll worked out of it, the butter is
worth more When butter gets ex-
ceedingly hard on ice, and when not or,
ice it gets very soft indeed you cfk
know that more buttermilk remains in
it than when butter keeps a certain
mellowness even when on ice. and re-
tains good firmness when off it.

a friend to accompany him and act as
his best man. The trip is to be made
in the automobile Of the bridegroom.
The best man is to return home in an
automobile of members of the bride
groom's family. To what extent should
the expenses of the trip be borne by
the bridegroom? The best man? The
relatives?"
Answer: The best man would pay
his own share OF hotel bills, unless
especially asked not to. Garage charges
are paid by the car owners.
My Dear Mrs. Post: Should newly
married people invite to their house
those friends who sent presents, or
should the friends invite them (the
couple) to their own houses?"
Answer: No rule. Usually the bride
and bridegroom are first invited TO the
houses of their friends, but on the other
hand, if they give housewarming, they
invite their friends first.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am told there Is
no need of sending out thank you
cards after a wedding when you thank
people at the wedding for their gifts.
Is this true?"
Answer: A note of thanks is neces-
sary even though you thank some one
at the reception before writing 1t is
also best manners to say thank you
again, If you have written.

Everyday Psychology
Memory for Names.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Children remember names and faces
with a great deal more accuracy than
adults. A man of 40 who retains this
infantile ability is said to have a
freak memory" for names Now and
then you will find one. He may be
introduced to score of strangers and
come back the next day and designate
each by the correct name.
If we can believe Mark Twain, a
freak memory is great misfortune.
According to that keen observer, Its
possessor cannot distinguish an inter-
esting circumstance from an uninterest-
ing one. Moreover, he cannot stick to
his subject"
A normal development of memory for
names means a gradual substitution of
something else for the name. A person
becomes a personality. His name turns
out to be mere mathematical abstrac-
tion, something like 2, %, 1859.
Place probably comes first among the
substitutes for names. Generally the
first question you ask of person you
are trying to place is, Where did I
see you before?"
Vocational achievement probably takes
second place in the remembrance of
names. What one does or has done is
associated with the name that stands
for ones personality, instead of ones
person. Where do you work? Where
are you employed? Such are the ques-
tions you generally ask an old ac-
quaintance you are trying to name.

usual, where there are many brilliant
trumpetS freshly opened to see 8 or 10
exquisitely colored humming birds dart
ing and flashing among these flowers.
1t is interesting to watch these thirsty
ones. From flower to flower they fit,
then go nearby to rest and preen their
beautiful feathers. There are always
little flies and gnats about, too, and if
the twins have arrived, father and
mother humming bird are kept busy
supplying them with wee insects. OF
course, the parents mix their diet with
gnat or two, but they crave the nectar.
The trumpet flower has five rounded
lobes, the anther-bearing stamenS are
in pairs, two of them under the upper
part of the tube. There is one pistil and
the tube of the flower is about 21a
inches long. Should anything touch
the lobe of the stigma it will close
quickly in order to avoid self-fertiliZa-
ton.
Like the ivy, this vine has aerial
roots and many an unsightly building
or tree it has climbed over and beau
titled. The leaves are compounded of
7 to II saw-edged leaflets. The moist,
rich woods and thicketS of New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, west to Illinois and
south to the Gulf States, are blessed
with this flower, and from August until
September it is in bloom.
There are birds that seek insects in
and near the flower that have discov-
cred the fact that a newly opened
trumpet flower is supplied with nectar
and they also know that by giving it a
puncture there will be loud pop, which
may be heard for some distance.
The rightful partners of the flowers
are most indignant and express them
selves in no uncertain terms. But how
did the little thieves learn the trick?

They had reached Farmer Browns

selves with good things as fast as they
could, but all the time Chucky was
puzzling over what he had seen. At
last he ventured question:
Why did you let Jimmy Skunk
drive us out of that clover patch when
we got there first?" he asked.
Johnny Chuck stopped eating and
looked at Chucky shrewdly. Did you
think I was afraid of him?" he asked.
Chucky stammered. "I-I-I-" he
began and stopped.
Johnny Chuck chuckled "You

only one know of who doesn't fear it,

was still looking for white grubs, while
at safe distance Flip the Terrier was

Bowser the Hound, big enough to have
killed Jimmy with one bite or shake,
was looking on also at safe distance.
