Q. How is a person initiated into
the Caterpillar Club?
A. The actual "baling OUT"
making AN emergency parachute
jump from an airplane, is consider
ed the initiation.
Q. Why does gasoline run
through a strainer through which
water does lot pass?
A. Water, when the pressure is
not sufficient to overcome its sur
face tension, will remain in a YES
sci having small perforations. This
is noticeable in the gasoline strain
er on an automobile through which
gasoline will run, but through
which, water will not run. Once
the pressure on the water is suffi-
Gent to break down its tendency
to form globules on oily surfaces,
the rate at which it goes through
small openings is at least as great
as for other liquid substances OF
the same ~viscosity.

United States.

RELIGION influence
The fundamental tehching of
Christianity is the brotherhood Of
man under the fatherhood of God.
Churches and sects have )overlaid
and obscured this basic teaching
with such a variety of doctrines
that the essential principle seems
almost to be lost sight of in much
of our religious teaching.
Most of the other great religions
of the world have a similar founda-
ton. I am firmly convinced that
the world is far better than it
would have been had it not been
for the influence of the great reli-
eious teachers. But l nm also con-
WINGED that most of us are a long
way, still, from really believing in
and acting upon the teachings OF
religion.
Maybe it will take 10000 years,
maybe longer, but the only ulti-
mate answer to the question OF
war or peace must be, it seems to
me, the acceptance by the whole
human race of the underlying prin-
ciples of religion.

Q. Why do glass bottles filled
with colored water denote drug
stores?
A. 1t is a survival from the days
when few knew how to read. In
that time shoppers naturally could
not dc pend on written or lettered
signs to tell them where to find
what they were seeking. The shop
keeper had to illustrate his wares.
Therefore, if he were a druggist,
he displayed prominently a mortar
and pestle, which were the emblems
of his profession, and also in his
windows jars and bottles Of various
colored liquids, supposedly samples
of the mysterious drugs which he
had in his stock.

Flash War Starts On
 UncLean Beer Glasses

Health authorities are now mak- ing a new approach to the sRni- tary serving of food and drink in public establishments, according to an article written by Dr. Willard KnoElton, director of the Bureau og PFeventable Diseases Of the State Department of Health. for the clir- rent issue of the departments monthly bulletin.
 Inspection Of food establishments has become 8 firmly established part of the health department routine, Dr. Knoglton states, and in some places periodic medical examination of food handlers is employed, al- though the value Of the latter has been questioned. since a food ham dler may become sick very shortly after he has been examined by the physician. However, al food hans dlers who gre ul should be kept from handling or serving food, and the best way to accomplish this is by the education Of uanagementf in the matter Of removing such persons from duty until . physician has certified their fitness to return t- work. Medical advisors may weil be employed by al food establish mentg for this purpose.
