And they cared deeply for each
other in O masculine manner that
occasionally made them very gruff.
Noyes, too, taught Pablito a
loathing Of sundry haurts and that
the youth must be careful of how
he used his strength. For one
night when a stranger had spat
toward Noyes, Pablito hit the
stranger and 1t was some time be-
fore the quickly collected crowd

man was dead.
Necessity had given to Pablito a
wide range of human color on that
palette which is called life, for his
income came from Big Field

called FISHING camp" on one
Of the Keys.
The camp was luxurious in the
extreme. There was long. low
building set in q grove of royal
palms which held the immense din
ing room and kitchen, Around this,
set at discretly separated dis
tances, were the bungalows where
were billeted the guests. There
were arrangements for outdoor
cooking and barbecues, popular
that season and there was a large
building given over to billiard
tables, wheels that spun and books.
There were tiled baths and French
chefs and scores Of servants and
motor boats and breakfast trays
and a private telephone line to

this was much affluence and very

For Quick Relief Say '.BAYER Aspirin When You Buy

Here is quicker relief from pain-the
fastest safe relief, it is said, ever
known. This is due to a scientific
discovery by which BAYER Aspirin
starts taking hold Of pain a few
minutes after taking: 4
The illustration Of the glass here
tells the story. A Bayer tablet starts to
disintegrate or dissolve--go to work
almost instantly. This means quick
relief from pain-fewer lost hours
from headache, neuritis, rheumatism.
And safe relief. For genuine Bayer

CHURCH THIEVES

Recent complaints from church
goers have led the local police to
issue a warning to women to watch
their purses or handbags while at
church. Authorities point out that
sneak thieves have no respect for
denomination and find it an easy
matter to lift pocketbooks lying on
seats.
One of the persons who COM
planned about the theft of a purse

in it. She left 1t in the seat and

Introduction of Table
Fork Aid to Cookery

Surely the fork has done d great
deal to simplify and advance the art
of cookery by encouraging the taste
for solid foods and natural dayors.
1t has also made possible the serving
OF delicate slices OF meat. and fur
thermore 1t promotes cleanliness at
the table In contrast to the days
when finger bowls were a dire neces-
slty. 1t has also encouraged the use
Of finer table linens.
Some of the very first forks were
really works Of art. The three which
Queen Elizabeth kept as curlos were
described as lone of crystal gar
nIshed with gold and sparks of
garnets-another OF coral slightly
garnished with gold-and a third of
gold, garnished with two little ru-
bles, two pearl pendants and a
coral"
History tells us that the first forks
to be made In America were made
by John Moves of Boston, about 1905.
These forks, which have silver han
dies and steel prongs, are now In
the Boston museum. From these
have evolved the common table forks
which we today consider practically
Indispensable.

A new way OF weather ~forcasting

During an average winter the en-

this Ice sheet with instruments to de-

covered continual slight quiverings,
some of which could be traced to
effects OF ocean currents, while others
originated In storms known to be rag

Both ocean currents and storms are
important In forecasting weather over

We are told that not only fingers
but knives and spoons were made
before forks. While the use of the
spoon and knife dates far back into
antiquity, 1t was not until the early
Sixteenth century that forks APP
peared upon the tables Of the nobil-
ity of Italy.
The story goes that a woman of
very dainty tastes, the wife of the
doge of Venice. who would not soil
her fingers with meat but conveyed
bits of food to her mouth with a
golden two-pronged fork Of her own
invention. was responsible for the
first fork known to history.
From Italy forks were then intro
duced into England by a gentleman,
Thomas Coryate. who had been ia
vorably impressed by the italian use
of forks while on a visit to that
country. The English. however, did
not at first take kindly to the innova-
ton, but looked on forks as an af-
fectation of superiority. And there
came a saying "Who would make
hay of his food and pitch 1t into his
mouth with a fork?" But finally its
very usefulness won for 1t a per-
manent place at the table.

rhythmic chewing. combined with
exercises of the head and neck, was
revealed recently at New York to
1000 models, members Of the Models
Guild, as the newest beauty formula.
The advice came from a well-known
specialist In response to a request
from the guild for information re-
gardlng the system.
A dozen exercises are included In
the complete routine. The lnstruc-
tions for the one illustrated Start
with chewing gum-one or two
sticks. After a few seconds, begin
the exercise by tossing the head
from side to side. Then open your

This exercise Is designed to tone
the muscles of the chin and lower
jaw. Others promote a fine neck

Parrot Altogether Too
Strenuous in Action

Probably the most unlikely story
told about parrots concerned one
which vas purchased from a sailor
by a clergyman. The great delight
of the latter gentleman was for the
children In, his parish to call him
uncle. Soon after he became the
proud possessor Of this large bird he
spent several hours In trying to teach
II to say uncle But the parrot re-
manned dumb. AS evening an
preached he realized that he had no
cage for it, so he placed 1t at the end
of a long perch In the poultry house
on which a dozen hens were roost-
Ing. Next morning he heard a dis
turbance In the poultry yard and
found eleven dead hens, while the
parrot had hold of the other by It's
neck, and, shaking. 1t from side to
side. was shouting, Say Uncle you
silly fool, say sUncle'N'
There have been heated debates
between owners Of parrots and sci
entists. The former state emphati-
cally that their birds talk intelligent
~, while naturalIsts insist that the
birds are simply repeating phrases
which they have heard. The parrot
has a wonderful memory, and can
store up long sentences In It's little
brain. Perhaps some incident the
bird sees calls one OF these to mind,
and at an appropriate moment II
flashes out, to the amazement of lis
teners.-London Answers.
