Reflections:
Why is the main street in Key
West called Duval, when it is the
County Seat of Monroe county
and is there Monroe street in
town. The southernmost city in
the United States shows an amaz-
ing paucity of southern accent.
Unique perhaps in having an ac-
cent all it's own. The custom of
labelling the strange trees in town
receives hearty applause from
the nature loving visitors. The
mud hole at the corner of Flen-
ing and White, however. makes
both pedestrians and motorists
furious. CONTIGUOUS, the wise old
Chinese philosopher. once said
that only fool will take advice
from a fool, yet many man will
play slot machine on another's
recommendation that it is due to
hit.

Smoke Small Particles
Suspended in the Air

Smoke is nothing more than myr-
lads of small solid particles sus-
pended in the air, writes DR.. Thorn
as M. Peck in the Chicago Tribune.
These particles are denser than air,
yet they settle only with extreme
slownes5 because of two facts. A
falling body soon reaches a speed at
which lis weight is balanced by the
air resistance opposing its motion
This resistance is roughly proper
tional to the amount of surface ex-
posed, and the smaller the body,
the greater the ratio of surface to
weight and the slower its rate of
fall through air. Smoke particles
usually are so small that their rates
of fall hardly are perceptible. In
addition, the particles motion
through the air causes them to pick
UP electrical charges, and the mu-
tual repulsion of these charges pre-
vents the particles from coalescing
into larger particles which would
fall more quickly.
1t is surprising fact that these
smoke particles are much harder

far smaller molecules of a gaseous
impurity. Air can Me freed from

Birds Lay Eggs on Rock

The brightest eggs laid by Brit
ish birds are those Of the guillemot,
found in colonies around the coasts.
The birds like a large fiat ledge OF
rock, and there they may be seen
sitting packed close together with
their wings and breasts touching.
No nest is built; the one large egg
laid by each bird is just dropped on
the bare rock Each bird knows its
own egg, and the same applies to
the young when they appear. II a
strange baby tries to take food from
the beak of an old bird ii receives a
violent peck, and the food is not
parted with until the mother finds
her own offspring. Most eggs laid
in open nests in hedges or on the
ground are colored with various
markings.

dDOulf you NOulO
lose instead of gaining weight
He suggested that what she need
ed was hobby-something to en-
gage her time and energy, that she
engage in some form of welfare
work where she could see some of
the misery of many unfortunates;
see how careless fathers, and some
times mothers, were themselves re-
sponslble for the distress of the
home, see how, despite the industry
and intelligence of some individu-
ais, life had been very hard on
fhem-sickness loss of employment
and other conditions.
When you see some of these peo-
pie and their homes, you are going
to be very angry at times, filed
with pity at other times, but always
you'll meet something that will
make you mad, make you anxious,
make you eat less and sleep less
as your thoughts dwell on the sights
Of the day.
Distress Eats Up Fat.
Research workers have been able
to show that emotional distress
anger, rage, fear-eat up fat; and
SO reduce weight because they in
terfere with two of the main causes
of overweight-eating and sleeping.
"A small cat was put into a cage,
with big dog in the cage adjoin-
ing. The dog barked, growled, and
ragged when he found he could not
reach the cat. The cat, of course,
became terrified as the dogs fury
increased. Both lost weight rapid
ly."
The trouble in trying to reduce
weight in most OF our fat friends by
this method is that they are "slow
to anger" They are not so easily
irritated or enraged as those of
normal weight. Fortunately there
seems to be in all of us a desire to
keep young, to keep our shape or
figure, and 1t is the fear of losing
shape or figure that drives men and
women to the reducing diets.
Now it is not recommended that
If you wish to reduce weight your
family should try to keep you en-
ragged, frightened, or infuriated. 1t
is great asset in these days to be
able to keep the mind calm and
Testful. But, as a matter of fact,
many individuals have been able to
reduce by having the mind made
active, not by rage or fury, but
by some helpful mental occupation
aside from their regular work. They
have developed hobby"
A little less food, a little less
sleep, and hobby that will mean
a little extra activity of body and
mind will gradually take off the
weight.

Pain In Abdomen of Children.

Parents and physicians some
times notice that a number of chill
dren between the ages of five and
twelve complain OF discomfort or
pain in the abdomen that seems to
be present all the time. There is
usually constipation, tired-out
feeling with loss of appetite. As
youngster at these ages should be
full of life and always hungry, there
must be some real reason for these
symptoms.
In attempting to find direct
cause for this chronic discomfort in
the abdomen in children Drs. ]. Sig
norelli and H. Hosen, New Orleans,
state in the New Orleans Medical
and Surgical Journal that the most
logical conditions likely to cause
these symptoms are Inflammation of
certain lymph glands in the abdo-
men, chronic appendicitis or the ac-
ton or disordered action of certain
flowers or negotiations in the in
testine.
liiCSc pay SiSAciiS PACSSl lbSu dl-
lutte hydrochloric acid in doses
varying from Is to 40 drops three
times day, to be taken diluted in
water at each meal.
Marked improvement occurred,
with relief of all symptoms, except
lack of appetite in four of the twen-
ty-fve cases. After one to two
months of such treatment the acid
was stopped.
Many of the children have now
been without the hydrochloric acid
for as long as nine months and have
been entirely free of the symptoms.
This simple treatment for this group
OF symptoms, in youngsters five to
twelve years Of age, should be worth
a trial at least.

packed mass of a porous solid abb
sorbent. These methods frequently
fail with smokes.
The reason for this difference lies
in the fact that the small, light gas
molecules are in a state of con-
slant motion, and travel al incred-
ible speeds which quickly bring
them INTO contact with the 1hsorb-
ing material. On the other hand
the far heavier smoke particles drift
very slowly through the rest of the
gas, and only few Of them have
time to reach the absorbent.
