vehicle over given distance when he is equipped with stop watch. The vehicle, passing the box set up at a specified distance from the operator, creates an instan- taneous reflected flash. The oper- ator then opens the stop watch which he closes when the vehicle pases before him. Knowing the distance and the time in which it was traversed, he can quickly complete the speed of the vehicle.
 The great advantage of measur- ing speed in this way Is it's failure to arouse suspicion of motor vehi- cle operators that their pace is being checked and thus defeat the purpose. The box may be screened from view of the drivers by pole, tree or other object and the old. well known method of tallying of speeds by two men, with its result ant effect upon passing traffic par ticipants, is averted making pos- sible uninfiuenced results.

he has been In every one since the
Fifty-eighth.
Two bills which lie very close to the
Norris heart and are among the most
far-reaching pieces Of legislation ever
enacted by Congress have been ap-
proved this session. IS
The first was the famous Tame
duck" bill-the constitutional amend
ment which will be submitted to the
States calling for a change in the in
auguration date for Presidents and ses-
sions Of Congress
Years Of battling and disappoint-
ments for Norris came to an end with
the passage OF this bill. Repeatedly
he had gotten a favorable vote for the
measure in the Senate, only to have 1t
die in the House. A few weeks ago,
however. the House, too. swung into
line.
His second major victory was with

the anti-injunction bill Norris ha1
been fighting for this measure for sh
past eight years. At times chances. ii
victory looked almost hopeless, but ne
continued his fight until victory waS
his.
One other victory for Norris this seas
sion-passage Of his bill for GovernA
ment operation of Muscle Shoals~A
would enable him to see written into
law perhaps three Of the most impotx
tant measures ever to pass Congress.
Whether his luck holds up to tha1
extent must yet be determined.
1t must make the heart of Norrid
feel good to see at this late date Con-
gress come around to a way Of thinks
ing he has followed 50 long.
Only seven Of his colleagues Ia the
Senate voted against his lame ducks
bill. Only five refused to go along with
him on the anti-injunction legislation.
Since that memorable fight in 1STN
when he led a fight to strip "Unole
Joe" Cannon of some Of his power rs
Speaker of the House, Norris has besn
relentless in his battles against political
organization of the machine variety.
There has been little romance abold
Norris fighting. Fame, money or SOS
cial prestige are not the things which
appeal to him as Senator. ma
He'll battle any time for conviction.

would be a stick that was hollow.
It was one of these hollow sticks that
Farmer Browns Boy pulled from the
pile to take in the fire. AS ne picked

over the edge Of the woodptle where 1t

to see if the fire needed more wood

the hollow stick to thrust it into the

had been chopped down during the
Winter and then cut up for flrewood.
Farmer Browns Boy paused to look
at that hole before throwing the stick
on the fire. "Downy the Woodpecker
must have cut this" thought he. "It is
lust about his size and some time or
other he made his home in here"
He prepared to toss the stick on the
fire. but Just then slight movement
near the door caught his attention. He
discovered a Mouse creeping in with
big ewes fixed on him with such a
pleading expression mingled with
fright, that he paused with the stick
still in his hands. 1t was Mrs. White

recalled the glimpse he had had Of

glass-door bookcases from which to
make selections. The wall space to be
devoted to this piece Of furniture Is one
thing to be considered. The kind of
furniture the bookcase In TO go with Is
another Of vital Importance. Not ONLY
should the style be congenial but the
wood also.
Should the books be of ordinary
caliber Of bindings and contents, an
open case Of shelves is quite suitable.
1t can be an unobtrusive bit of furni-
ture dependent upon the colorful books
to supply decorative elements.
In an apartment where space is de-
cidedly limited, many things must be
considered. No large library could be
housed in such a dwelling, but where
books are numerous and the owner
feels too attached to them not to be
surrounded by them, lining the walls
with open shelf cases seems to be the
one real solution, The room will be
made consistently smaller as all sides
will be slightly diminished. The back
ground effect keeps the walls decora-
tive.
The old-time secretary in which a
bookcase forms the upper compart-
ment with desk and drawers beneath
is again in style. 1t can afford bureau
drawers, as we'll as desk and bookcase
for room which must have the duplex
use of living and bed room. This is the
answer to the question Of how to house
limited number of volumes in an
apartment where there appears to be no
available space for books.

ways by which poisons that have ac-
cumuhted In the system may be car
rted away. Nearly all Spring vege-
tables have a high water content, but
to be most beneficial, these liquids
should be kept moving. When allowed
to remain in the system they do not
contribute to health. Chlorine Is the
agent which keeps the liquids OF the
body active. 1t drives them through
and around the cells and takes from
them the waste materials.
The most available chlorine foods are
raw cabbage, onions, spinach, raw car
rots, cucumbers, radishes.
There are many other foods rich In
chlorine, but because OF their solid
content, they are unsuitable for our
cleansing plan, since the cells cannot
cleanse themselves II forced to take
care of proteins and carbon solids
A systematic cleansing diet, to be
most effective, must be limited 10 the
cleansing foods. In addition to the
chlorine group, there should be mag
nesium for Taxation, sulphur to purify,
potassium to correct acids and cleanse
muscle tissue, sodium and iron for in
dividual cell and blood cleansing.
A simple routine menu may be: A
glass of water and Juice Of one-haf Of
a lemon on arising.
Breakfast-Juice Of three oranges or

TIME writer Of this curved capital
IT" Is apparently suffering I'M
der the handicap Of timidity
Il and self-consciousness. Seem
ingiy, her nature u very re-
served. With strangers abe is perhaps
quite unhappy, being occupied with
wondering about the impression she Is
making. BY forcing herself continually
to meet people, and becoming inter
ested In their problems, Il Is conceiva-
BILE she could quickly get over this him
der1ng seh-consciousness.
The unusual *" probably reveals q
great love Of books. There Is little
doubt she finds considerable Joy and
pleasure in reading. Perhaps this pre-
occupation with books is partly re-
sponsible for her tendency to live too
much within herself. Less reading and
more personal contacts with people
would afford a better balanced ration
of mental stimulation. When reading
fiction works would by far seem to be
her preference.
It seems as IF she has more than
ordinary talent for drawing. The
curved ending stroke of the IN" indt-
Gates an appreciation Of harmony in
line and shade. To develop this ability
would apparently be an excellent thing
to do. Numerous schools which afford
art training inexpensively can be found
in any large city. In one Of these
schools her talents could be most fully
and probably developed. It might be
that commercial designing would ap-
peal most strongly to her. This work
Is interesting and well paid.
We should expect to find her home
tastefully decorated. Bizarre, mod
ernistic furniture probably would have
no appeal for her. Rather, 1t is likely
that soft, subdued blendings feature her
color preferences. Etchings are appar-
emily her choice in pictures. She may
have an especial love for beautiful
linens, spending much time and thought
on their selection.

T\HEHE are few homes in which
books are not to be found In
large or small numbers. The
II housing of the volumes, there
fore. becomes a consideration in
every dwelling. In q large residence
one entire room can be given over to
this purpose. The library becomes one
Of the interesting parts of the place.
In it, comfortable chairs apd adequate
table and desk pieces should form the
chief furnishings, apart from the book
cases. 1t is a room for quiet reading
among luxurious appointments. The
disposition Of lights should be well
thought out with the especial object OF
providing pleasant reading illumination,
and adequate light on books in their
cases, when consulting the volumes.
Should the living room have to be
the library also, as so frequently hap
pens, it is necessary to make the books
1it into more general scheme. Lit
erary pursuits may not be the CHIEF
aim of persons using the room, and so
the general purpose of q living room
becomes important to stress. In such
q room, built-in, rather low bookcases,
or portable ones made to fit the wall
spaces. provide the best means of hous-
ing a library which must be back
ground for. furniture. Such o back
ground with its tapestried effe0 OF the
multi-colored bindings Is deliglNaul. A
homelike atmosphere is imported by
the books which are like we6oming
friends
When only a comparatively small
number Of books must be housed. the
bookcase assumes importance quite as
much as the books II the books are
handsomely bound, they deserve to be
protected from the dust of open
shelves In libraries where books are
the main feature, some portion of the
case-lined walls Is apt to be glassed-in
for valuable and choice books. These
may even be under lock and key to
keep them safe from improper han
ding by the careless person as well as
to safeguard them.
There Is an endless assortment OF
