How to "Read" Milady's Feet

A French shoe expert asserts that
it is as easy to tell woman's char
acter by studying her feet as by
studying her hands, says Tit-Bits
Magazine. A bunion, this bold man
declares, generally betrays depres-
sion and envy in its owner. The
duck walk, with toes turned out,
suggests lack of success and the
prevalence of fear. II you see
woman planting her feet close to-
gether when she sits down, you may
hazard guess that she is inclined
to nervousness and the painful feel
ing that everyone is always staring
at her. Pigeon-toes imply a certain
lack of brightness. An unfaltering,
confident placing of the feet is the
sign pedal of the woman who is con-
fident Of her appeal to men and that
the world is her football.

How British Toast King

The kings health must be drunk
seated by all naval messes, whether
on ship or on shore. There are two
exceptions to this general rule, when
the toast must be drunk standing.
The first is when the national an
them is played, the second when the
rulers of foreign countries are in
cluded in the toasts chat are drunk
to the king. The custom of drink
ing the loyal toast seated is said to
have originated in the days of the
old wooden warships, in which. there
was often not enough room for a
man to stand upright below decks.

How Crickets Tell Temperature

If you have watch and there are
tree crickets around, you can tell
the temperature just as surely as if
you had the best thermometer
made, notes Pathfinder Magazine.
That is, unless it is colder than SO
degrees Fahrenheit, at which tenn
perature they cease making any
sound. Nearly every one knows
that the warmer it is the faster the
crickets chirp. Just count the chirps
per second and add 40 to this num-
Der. The resultant number is the
degree of temperature, says a con-
tributor to Our Dumb Animals.

Why Left Hand Freezes
Quicker Than the Right

You may not have noticed but it is
probably a fact that your left hand
gets cold quicker than your right
one 1t is also a fact that in regions
where the temperature becomes
dangerously low frozen fingers are
most frequently on the left hand.
According to Dr.. E. E. Free, an
explanation has been offered for
this by Dr. Richard Wiesner, of the
University of Vienna. Doctor Wies-
ner has measured the size of arter-
les in the right and left arms of a
great numbr of bodies and in near
ly all cases those in the right arm
were larger than the corresponding
ones in the left arm. This was not
true, however, in the case of young
babies, and for that reason Doctor
Wicsner thinks the difference in the
arteries is in some way connected
with the development of right-hand-
edness. p Pathfinder Magazine.

WHY===========
Snake Goes to Sleep With Eyes
Wide Open.


Do you think you could 60 to
sleep with your eyes open? You
may be surprised to know that a
snake can do this, says 4 writer
in the Montreal Herald.
Most of us have noticed that a
snake can stare for long time
without blinking. Why is this? Well,
the reason is very simple. The
snake has no eyelids to close! So
it must always have wide open eyes
when it goes to sleep.
You might think this is very
hard thing for any living creature
to do, but the reason why we our
selves find it almost impossible to
sleep with open eyes is because our
brain is very active. Whenever an
image passes before the eyes our
mind is aware of it. This disturbs
us somewhat, so we cannot relax
enough to go to sleep.
Now, when a snake gets tired It
goes into what we call a coma. Any
thing that happens in the usual way
is not noticed sufficiently to dis
tract it.
Of course, any sudden noise or
movement that is out of the ordi-
nary will probably make it move
sleepily out Of reach. But usually
when 4 snake is tired, it does not
notice anything very much, although
its eyes are open.

Why 1t Is "Gunny Sack"

Gunny in gunny sack is an Angli-
ciZed form of the Hindoo and Sam
skirt goni, meaning sack or bag.
Because bags for gross commodities
were made on large scale in Ben
gal from strong, coarse, heavy
sacking, the material itself came to
be called gunny and the bags gunny
sacks. The original gunny fabric
was woven from the fibers of iute
and hemp. Although gunny is used
in India as clothing by some of the
poorer classes, its chief use i. in
sacks and wrappers for cot
ton-bales and other commodities. In
everyday parlance any sack of
coarse material is likely to be re-
ferred to as q gunny sack.

Why Being Gloomy Is Useless

Why be gloomy because one is no
longer young? Many of the world S
greatest achievements are the work
of old men, asserts writer in Pear
sons Weekly. Between the ages of
seventy and eightythree Commo-
dore Vanderbilt added about 100
millions to his fortune. Kant, at
seventy-four, wrote his 'Anthropol-
ogy," Metaphysics of Ethics and
Strife of the Faculties" Verdi, at
seventy-four, produced his master
piece, Othello; at eighty, Falstaff; i;
and at eighty-five the famous ave
Maria" ''Stabat Mater" and 'Te
Deum." Cato, at eighty, began the
study of Greek. Titan, at ninety
eight, painted his historic picture of
the Battle of Lepanto.

How to Get Rid of Moles in
the Gardens and Lawns

There are dozens of remedies for
getting rid of moles, but am afraid
that not one of them is entirely sat-
isfactory, says correspondent.
Traps will account for a good
many of them if they are properly
set. In order to do this the main
run must be located and the traps
set there.
Opening up the runs and placing
teaspoonful of paradichloroben-
zene every six or 10 feet has been
recommended.
Another method is to asphyxiate
them by the exhaust gas from an
automobile Then let the motor run
for 20 minutes or so.
Other remedies range from plac-
ing castor beans in the runs, D meat
and strychnine bats, and the use of
calcium cyanide and carbon disul-
phide.

4 Mustard Pioneer

Mustard has been put to man
uses that have nothing to do with
hari sandwiches or corned beef. II
is one of the oldest known spices.
and among its earliest uses was its
application to scorpion bites, which
it vas believed to make innocous.
A later generation made a cough
syrup of mustard by boiling it with
dried figs in strong ale. The custom
of grinding the mustard seeds and
sitting them to a fine powder, the
form in which we use it so fire.
quently, dates back to 1920, when an
English woman known to history
simply as Mrs. Clements of Dur
ham" made the experiment and
found it tasty.

HOW

WORDS MAY BE IMPRINTED
ON PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT
Sometimes it is desired to i'm
print names, dates, serial num-
bers of copyright notices in the
corners of Photographic prints.
Two methods may be used to-
accomplish this purpose, accord
ing to a writer in the Detroit
News.
A pocket flashlight may be
used as the printing tool. The
type with q fat lens is best.
The lens is opaqued with a posi-
tive transparency, which in
cludes as it's only clear spaces
the words or figures to be inn
printed.
The fiashlight is pressed firm
ly to the paper and is turned
on. On development of the
print, the legend will show in
black letters.
White inscriptions are OBJ
tanned by writing the legend on
cellophane with India ink. The
small square Of cellophane is
placed on the paper during ex-
posure, preferably in a brilliant
ly lighted corner of the project
ed image or on relatively clear
space of the negative when
contact prints are being made.
Thus the outline of the cello
phane will not obtrude. The re-
sultant letters or figures will
show white.

Origin a Mystery

Authentic explanation of the
origin of cottage cheese remains
to be found, but one authority calls
attention to the fact that cottage
cheese was quite generally made in
the home in England as far back as
the time of Shakespeare. Perhaps
one of our early ancestors placed
a jar of soured milk near the fire,
whereupon it separated to give them
the solid, compact food which be-
came the forerunner of cottage
cheese.

Why 1t Is "Bock" Beer

Book beer is the first brew of the
new year. Beer is brewed in enor-

through the year. Each winter the
vats are cleaned and a new brew
started. The first is green and
little stronger than the later prod
uct. 1t is ready for use in March.
The sign of the zodiac for March is
Capricornus, synbolized by the
goat. Some one, a long time ago.
adopted this symbol to advertise the
advent of the new brew.

How to Blue Gun Barrel

Henley's Book of Formulas gives
two methods of bluing a gun ,arrel,

chloride of iron, two parts of solid
chloride of antimony, one part sal-
