Brain TwizzIers By Prot. ,. D. Flint

MT. and Mrs. Hylife were on a vacation trip. Mrs. Hylife had watched her husband closely to see that he didn't get away on any pri- vate excursions because she knew his frivolous nature. One evening she decided to take a nap before going out SO, while Mrs. Hylife rest ed, her husband went party-hunt- ing in the hotel. Being hunter of no mean ability he found his quarry and, although the Yale lock on the door proved 6 temporary barrier, was soon singing as far of key as anyone else and even serenaded other floors of the hotel. When he returned to his room his wife of course was indignant. By way of explanation MT. Hylife fal- teringly stated that he had return ed to the room several times but upon peeking through the keyhole discovered she was still resting and he said, "You know, dear, how you bawl me out when I disturb your. rest" She started to forgive him. picked up her coat and the room key and started to walk out the door when she suddenly whirled and caught Mir.

Coral Stone Is Used for
Rermuda's Winding Roads

R"rmuda is a foreign country with
different customs. different curren-
cy. different climate and an atmos-
phere different from that of any
American metropolis.
Bermuda roads have a special ap-
peal Made Of white coral stone,
they wind along the shore line or
cut through hills. Typically Eng
ish, the road builders avoided
straight stretches, so that there are
not half a dozen places on the is
land where one can see 500 yards
down the road.
Isolated and small as Bermuda is,
it has a unique background, Ber-
muda's parliament was the first rep
resentative law-making body in ex-
istence, with the sole exception Of
the English parliament. Hog
coinage, once in circulation there,
was the first colonial coinage. Ber-
muda remained loyal to her king
even when Cromwell was protector,
for Bermudians are sturdy and an
independent people.
st. Georges, quaint capital Of the
island before the seat Of government
was moved to Hamilton, abounds in
historical interest. The oldest town
in the western world, it boasts the
Oldest church in the western hemi-
sphere. Here are the narrow streets
the Irish poet, Tom Moore, roamed.
Here are the ruins of the govern
ment storehouse plundered in l776
by MISUNDERSTANDING Bermu-
dams. The supply of gunpowder
they stole and shipped to America
aided the Americans in the war for
independence.

Smoking Once Was Crime;
Offenders Sent to Jail

revealed the fact that in 1852 Ger
mans were grumbling because the
Berlin chief of police had issued an
order which strictly forbade tobac-
co-smoking in the street. First Of
tenders were liable to a fine Of two
thalers, while hardened criminals
caught repeating the offence were
actually sent to the gaol, says a
writer in Pearson's London Week

In Pomerania there is a legend
that the Devil invented tobacco-but
smoking goes on all the same.
Though tobacco growing is one Of
the leading industries Of Turkey,
there was a time when anyone

the Sultan's military police. In Rus

capped by being hollow. stood for
1859 years after that, and was blown
down by wind in 1856.
How long the charter oak actually
lived nobody knows, but it was es-
timated to have been 1000 years
old. White oaks mature in from
300 to 400 years and it is not
uncommon for them to live 900 to
300 years.
When mature, oaks are 60 to 80
feet tall and to feet in diameter.
Under extremely favorable condi-
tons they reach height of 100 feet
and may be feet in diameter.
The white oak (Quercus alba) is
found from Maine southwestward to
Nebraska, and southwark to Texas
and Florida.

Wine Worth $40. 900 a nron,

The Rathskeller's celebrated
Rose Cellar" in Bremen has a
wine that even millionaires could
not afford to drink, a Rudesheimer
from the year 1853. Originally the
wine cost 300 gold talers. Adding
to this the yearly charge for interest
and leakage, statisticians reckon
that the value Of the wine is over
$50, 900 a drop or more than 500
600, 600 glass. Except as a curios-
ity, however, it is in practice not
worth a cent, since the improve
ment Of wine with age has its limits
and after maturing for three hun
dred years, this Rudesheimer has
completely lost its favor.

Leaves of the Passion Flower

The three leaves that grow in a
cluster in the passion flower repre-
sent the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost. The tendrils are the thongs
with which Christ was bound. The
various parts of the fower-sta-
mems, pistil, sepals and petals-rep-
resent the crown of thorns, the three

the Apostles, excluding Judas, who

Basques Solved Caste Question
The Basques are one of the oldest
peoples in Europe and have lived in
their mountain home in northern
Spain and southwestern France
from pre-Aryan times, and their
language, peculiar to itself, is said
to be older than any Aryan tongues.
They early solved the question of
caste by declaring every Basque a
noble, and, although they acknowl-
edged the king of Spain as their
ruler, they regarded him only as
an equal. Before they would &C.
knowledge him it was necessary for
him to come into their country and
swear under their sacred oak tree
to abide by their ancient rights, or
''fueros." Even then they gave him
no title. Their king might be the
Holy Roman Emperor, but to them
he was just plain "senor."

She has an ear for tattle,
She pirates of petty offerings

You flee her and she follows

The lies she always swallows.

NATIONS AND
INDIVIDUALS

If we acted as individuals with
the same brutality and stupidity that
characterizes international relations,
what a hideous world this would be.
Imagine a comparable situation to
The recent Spanish crisis. Suppose a
man waylaid you from ambush, and
struck you over the head with =
club. You would not be severely cen
sured if you should return the insult
with your own fists.
But assume instead that you adopt
ed the attitude of nations. Suppose
III revenge you went to his home in
the dead Of night, pulled his small
them a brutal beating. Would civiliz-
ed men welcome you into their SOC
iety thereafters
But when nations act thus it be-
comes merely an international stu
alton. A German warship is bombed
by irresponsible and reckless soldiers
of fortune fighting for the Spanish
Ioyalist cause. The ship wa damaged
and twenty-four sailors lost thei,
lives.
In revenge, as we all know. the
seaport town of Almiria was bonn
harded. Its streets were converted in
to a SHAMELESS. Some thirty citizens
were killed and a hundred more in
jured. Those manned and slaughtered
civilians were in no way responsible
for the depreciation against German
shipping but were compelled to pay
the price.
This is the way of international
affairs. Under similar circumstances
Italy, France, Russia, or possibly any
other nation might have taken SINH
lar action. The point we stress is the
%barbarity of relations between ma
tions.
In the face of such irresponsible
ruthlessness how can we even hope
that war, the scourge Of modern civ
ilization, may be effectively ont
fawed.
