Smoke Two at Once
IL You Would Cut
Cigarette Nicotine!

Washington.-For people who
still worry about the amount of
nicotine present in the smoke
of the cigarettes they use, sci
ence suggests that they use two
at once. One to smoke and the
other to filter the smoke from
the first.
Smoking cigarettes in tandem
with special holders removes 81 per
cent of the nicotine when a small
puff is drawn, states a report to the
American Chemical society here.
The report does not come from
cigarette companies, as one might
suspect at first, but from Scientists
r. B. Derr, A. H. Reismeyer and
r. B. Unangst of the research lab
oratory of an aluminium company.
The cigarette holders used in the
study need not be excessively long,
state the scientists.
Extra mildness is impaired to the
smoke by the cigarette filter, it was
found Yet the characteristic taste
blends of the tobacco remain distin-
guishable The test was also made
with pipe where the cigarette FL
tering system worked even better.

Ironing Hints.-The best way to
press rough silk is with a warm
iron when the material is entirely
dry. Linen and organdy should
never be ironed when still very
wet. Never use hot iron on arti-
fetal silk-put dry cloth over it
and use a warm iron.
Retaining Vegetable Flavor
Vegetables will retain more of
their flavor if put on to cook in
water that has already been
brought to the boiling point. 9th
erwise much of the flavor will
soak into the water.
Rhubarb Batter.-Cut rhubarb
into pieces one inch long. If sticks
are large split them lengthwise as
well. Fill buttered fireproof dish
three parts full with the rhubarb.
Beat together one ounce butter,
two ounces granulated sugar and
one egg; then add two ounces
flour and beat again. Add enough
milk to make thin batter, pour
over the rhubarb, and bake in a
moderate oven for 80 to 40 min
utes. Serve with cream.

The flavor of canned grapefruit

Now Doctors Can
Measure the Scope
of Your Filters

Denver.-The nervous pa
tent, unduly tense and excited
when his physician begins an
examination, can now have the
exact state of his nervousness
measured by a new instrument,
the neurovoltmeter, described
by DR.. Edmund Jacobson of
the Chicago Laboratory for
Clinical Physiology, before the
meeting here of the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
The neurovoltmeter is simple
instrument using string galvanom-
eter and fine, sharpened wire cleo
trodes that are inserted into nerve
or muscle tissue without undue dis
comfort. 1t will measure variations
in electrical nervousness amounting
to fractions of millionths of volt.
The new instrument will permit
the physician to keep track of eff
fects ct even the most delicate treat
ment upon the nervous and muscu-
lar system, DR.. Jacobson predicted.
Evolution in man, other animals,
and plants was laid to changes in
the chromosomes, the larger units
of heredity within the cell nuclei,
instead of mutations or changes in
the smaller genes usually credited
with the major role in passing on
the characteristics of life from one
generation to another. This new
idea in evolution was presented by
Prof. E. B. Babcock of the Univer-
sity of California
Craters on the moon, an astro-
nomical and geological puzzle for
many years, are due to violent ex-
plosions of meteorites that plunged
into the airless surface of the earth
satellite with great energy. This
theory of the lunar pockmarks was
presented to the Society for Re-
search on Meteorites by DR.. L. j.
Spencer of London.
Only the hundred-mile blanket of
air around the earth protects it from
undue damage by meteorites that
still lombard it. But DR.. Spencer
believes that there must have been
an earlier period during which these
stray masses of the solar system
were much more numerous.

Men! Doctors Give
Rules for Smooth,
Scientific Shave
Use Sharp Blades, Reduce
Angle, Lather Twice

Chicago.-Does shaving make
your face sore, sir?
Here are some tips for men
with sensitive skins, as emu
merated in the Journal of the
American Medical Association:
l. Use sharper razor blades.
2. Reduce the shaving angle, that
is, the angle formed between the
central plane of the blade near its
edge and a plane that passes
through the edge and is tangent to
the guard bar on the safety razor.
8. After washing and lathering the
face with soap and hot water-op-
erations that should consume from
two and one-half to three minutes
to be effective-use cold water for
the final lathering procedure.
4. Employ a shaving soap or
cream in which menthol is incor-
porated.
Operate Shaving Clinic.
The doctors of the land are being
given a lesson in shaving in the lead
ing article of their official journal.
At shaving clinic that has been
in operation at Mellon institute since
1881, 81 memo of them blends
and IL brunettes-are being studied
before, during and after their daily
shave.
Preparation, it seems, is more
than half the secret of successful
shave. The procedure for the av-
erage male, as outlined in the med
ical journal, is as follows:
Wash the face first with soap and
water, using hot water and some
toilet soap that has been found not
to irritate the skin.
Three Minutes of Scrubbing.
Carry on this operation for about
one-half minute and then rinse the
face thoroughly. This removes the
grit from the face, which might
damage the blade, and also removes
the external layer of sweat and Sc
bum from the skin and hair, as well
as other extraneous material.
After the soap has been thorough
ly rinsed off with hot water, second
layer of soap should be applied.
This may be ones favorite shaw
ing soap. 1t is to be thoroughly
rubbed into the surface of the skin
with the hand, copious amounts of
water being used. These two opera
tons should be made to consume
from two and one-haf to three min
uteS.
Shaving should be begun by wet
ting the razor with hot water and
keeping the face well lathered; both
the razor and the face should be
kept wet during the entire opera
ton. It is good practice to shave
the less difficult portions of the face
first, in order that the more diff
cult portions shall have the benefit
of still longer contact with water.

Meteorite on Ice Served
to Smithsonian Institution

Washington.-A stone from the
sky, found on the ice near Great
Bear lake in northern Canada, has
been added to the Smithsonian in
stitution collection of meteorites. An
Indian picked it up, wondering at its
peculiar form and the fact that il
was lying there on top of the ice,
and brought it to the nearest mis-
sion.
The meteorite is about the size
of walnut, and aside from the pc
culiar circumstances of its discov-
cry is not remarkable. It is thought
to be fragment of much larger
celestial projectile now probably at
the bottom of the water. Search
for the parent body will be made
next summer.
A second meteorite recently re-
ceived by the Smithsonian institu-
ton is the only one of its kind known
to exist. 1t consists of the mineral
known as chladnite, in a form diff
ferent from that recorded for any
previously known meteorite.

Maybe Mediums Do
Hear Voices After
All, Says Science
Delusions Are Hangovers
From Childhood Phantasies

Lewisburg, Pa.-Those medi-
ums who are not frauds, but
genuinely believe that they
hear the voices of spirits, may
be the victims of the common
childish phantasy of an imagi-
nary companion, DIR. Philip L.
Hartman, of Bucknell uni
versity, here, suggests in re-
port to the American Journal
of Orthopsychiatry.
About a third of the children be-
tween three and eight or nine years
of age enjoy the company of such
imaginary companions, excellent de-
scriptions of which appear in the
novel Anthony Adverse" and
Mines "Binker," DR.. Hartman
says. More older persons indulge
in this phantasy than has hitherto
been suspected.
Real playmates usually cause the
gradual disappearance of these
phantom associates, but occasional
ly they go with the child through
high school and even into adult life.
Students Romantic Companion"
Among college students who re-
ported long continuation of the
phantasy companion, some had Gre
ated an individual of the hero type
with whom they competed in ath-
letic sports or in class or extra-cur-
ricular activity.
Another man student reports
that his imaginary companion came
into existence when he was twelve
or thirteen" said DR.. Hartman.
'The companion was a beautiful
girl with a romantic name of Marie
Van Arsdale. At fourteen years of
age he saw Sari Martha in the mo-
1 ton pictures and then forsook Marie
4 for her. He made believe that he
rescued Sari from savages, and then
he built a stone fortress for her.
This edifce still stands on wooded
knoll behind his home, a monu-
ment to an adolescent phantasy.
May Indicate Creative Ability.
Somewhat concerned by teach
ers' reports of inattention in high
school, his parents presented him
with an automobile. This new pos
session opened up interests in the
world of reality, and he ceased to
divert himself with an imaginary
loved one"
Since the students who reported
clinging to such imaginary compan-
ions were all superior in college
English, it is tempting to conjecture
a relationship between such mag
NATIVE play and creative ability in
writing, DR.. Hartman suggests. No
little inspiration for narrative prose
and poetry may come from the dali
lance with an imaginary associate,
he says.
Gin none of the individuals who
supplied data for this report was
there the slightest evidence that any
evident harm had resulted from this
phantasy," declared DR.. Hartman.

Invention of Horseshoes

Though the ancients were suffi.
GENTLY impressed by the damage
done to horses hoofs to devise GER
tain forms of covering for them Tin
the shape of socks or sandals),
the practice of mailing iron plates or
rim-shoes to the hoof does not ap-
pear to have been introduced ear
ier than the Second century B. c.,
and was not commonly known till
the close of the Fifth century A. D.,
or in regular use till the Middle
ages. The evidence for the earlier
date depends on the doubtful inter.
pretations of designs on coins, etc.
AS time went on, however, the pro-
fession of the farrier and the art of
the shoesmith gradually grew in i'm
portance.

What You Seek

Have you ever thought how
many objects you pass without
even noticing them; how many
voices and sounds fail to register
with you? !
1t seems that one usually sees
what he is looking for and hears
that to which his ears are attuned.
Perhaps this is what Emerson
had in mind when he said that no
one brings back from Europe any,
thing which he did not take over
with him. Excluding merchan-
disc of course. )-Ohio Farmer.

played have gone down in history.

THIS is the land where, in self

is, if your aged grandmother hap

but any smart stranger may ap-

him 'phone-legger-and, by pay
ment of a small fee, get the number
