Odd Railroad Expressions

Anyone can tell a railroad worker
he doesn't speak our language"
and mean it. The steel-ribboned in
dustry has its own vernacular, and
Canadian National railways has
oeen nice enough to put number
of railroad expressions, phrases and
words together to prove it, writes a
Canadian correspondent. For ex-
ample, the engineer may be the en-
gineer to us, but he's "hogger" or
"eagle eye" to his co-workers. The
car repair man is called a car
toad, the boiler-maker iron skull;
the fireman, diamond pusher, or tai
low pot, or bakehead; the conduc-
tor, brass buttons or brains; Of
ficials, brass hats; the brakeman,
Scissor Bill or car catcher; the tele-
phone operators, hams; checker,
number grabber; section hand, gam
dy dancer; machinist, nut splitter;
making fast time, "to beat her on
the back; throwing a switch,
bending the rail"; and to take wa
ter on the move is to ''jerk SOUP"

How to Check Shine in
Garments With Ammonia

To get rid of that shine in gar
ments sponge with water to which
a dash of ammonia has been added
about one teaspoonful to quart
of water. Then press on the reverse
side.
If you will cover silver that you
are putting away with dry flour it
will keep it from furnishing.
Lemon and salt blended will do a
good deal toward removing rust
from something that has been
pressed with too hot an iron. Hold
the garment over steam after you
have applied the lemon and salt
cure.
When curtains, spreads and such
have become so soiled you wonder
how you're ever going to wash them,
soak in cold water overnight and
add touch of borax. The dirt will
come out easily when you wash the
following day.

SHAKESPEARE MAXIM GOOD in
MOTOR AGE

The borrowing and lending OF
automobiles, common as it is as
friendly courtesy, is not safety hrst
measure. Borrowing may be safe
enough in some cases, but On the
average it helps to build up the rec
ord of wrecked cars and deaths and
injuries in traffic accidents. The
familiar quotation from Shakespeare
Neither a borrower nor lender
be-, is good counsel for the motor
age, the Bureau of Public Roads
finds.
In a study of the cease histories"
of more than 500 fatal highway ac-
cidents in which passenger cars were
involved, the Bureau found more
than rs percent of the drivers listed
as friend of the owner" In compare
son, only Al percent of the drivers
were listed employee OF owner,
and only 20 percent as relative OF
owner" Most of the friend drivers
were borrowers.

Men Over Sixty

It is not good to believe that a
mans best days are over at sixty.
There are figures to show that the
greatest productivity of mans life
lies between his sixtieth and seven
tieth year. An examination made
of the careers of some 400 men,
the most notable of their time and
outstanding in many activities
statesmen, painters, warriors, po-
cts, writer's and so on, says Pear
sons London Weekly, shows that
the decade of years between sixty
and seventy contained IS per cent OF
the worlds greatest achievements
between seventy and eighty years
% per cent-after eighty years 8
per cent. In other words, GA per
cent of the great achievements have
been accomplished by men who
have passed their sixtieth year.

YOUR oLD-AGE INSURANCE
Employees Advised to Safeguard
Their Social Security Accounts

In an effort to insure seasonal or
part-time workers against the loss of
any benefits which might accrue to
their credit Luther Becker, Manager
of the Baltimore field office of the
Social Security Board, has issued the
following suggestions for the guild
ance of employees:
(1) Keep the name and address
of each employer for whom you
work, as we'll as the record of your
own wage-earnings, in every job
you hold.
(2) Make your account known to
every employer for whom you have
worked since the last day of Deem
Der 1886. Whatever wages or salary
you may earn in any job, covered by
the Act, after the last day OF 1896
and before you reach the age of IS,
Cor die), should be credited to your
social security account.
The law requires each employer to
report your wages so that you may
get the full amount of benefits due
you. If your employer does not know
your number he cannot make re-
port that will assure a correct rec
ord of your wages.
co You should have only one
social security account number. II
you lose your card, ask your Social
Security Board field Office for a dup
licate. Do not get new number! II
you have more than one number
keep the first one issued you, but
send the other cards to the Manag-
err of your Social Security Board
field office to be cancelled. Tell him
you are returning the extra numbers
which were issued to you by mistake
Also tell him the number which was
first issued to you.
ca Write down your social secur-
ity account number in the family
Bible or write it on slip of paper
and file it away with other valuable
papers. The Social Security Act Of
fers you old-age protection. Hold on
to your account card.

You've probably heard Of the
leaning tower" of Pisa, for 1t is
one of the "Seven Wonders Of the
Modern World" But perhaps you
might be interested in some of the
details of its construction, and how
it came to be known as the leaning
tower"
The tower is constructed entirely
of white marble, with walls Is feet
thick at the base. It is eight
stories high, about 179 feet, which
is about the height of modern
History building. At the top it is
1871 feet out of the perpendicular.
In other words, if a stone were
dropped from the lower side of
the upper gallery it would strike
the ground 1914 feet from the wall
at the bottom of the tower, says
writer in the Washington Star.
The tower was intended as a bell
tower for the cathedral, which
stands nearby. 1t was begun in liza
and completed in 1850. The founda-
tons were laid in sand and it start
ed to tip after the first three gal
leries had been built. But the
builders went right on with their
work, with slightly changed plans.
Sometimes you will hear it re-
ferred to as the failing" tower of
Pisa, for it has tipped an additional
foot in the last century.
The scientist Calico, who was
born in Pisa, used the tower in
his experiments and observations of
the stars. This tower has done
more to make the italian city of
Pisa famous than all its exciting
history, its noted paintings, and its
other great buildings.

Frank Brock and Frederick Tlsdale,
authors of Justice on the job, In
the current Rotarian magazine.
in 1928, when it began its work,
there was one chance in six that a
criminal would be caught and pun
ished. Now the odds are 5O-50, they
report. Formerly criminal court
dockets were clogged with untrled
cases; now they are clear. Ninety out
of every 100 cases are indicted, tried,
and disposed of within three weeks
of the arrest. Between 1924 and
1887 reported burglaries fell from
2,521 to 2,252; entertainments, los
to 70; larcenies of $50 and over

MUSSOLINI PLAYING BOTH ENDS

A great many Americans are JUST
fiably confused by recent events
abroad. The meeting between Hitial
and Mussolini, in which the two die
tators toasted each other and made
fulsome pledges of friendship, com
ing so soon on the new England
Italian agreement, has further mix
ed up the European crazy-quilt.
Most of the experts are coming to
the conclusion that Mussolini is play
ing both ends against the middl-
He wants to avoid trouble with Ger
many. He likewise wants to avoid
trouble with France and England
He doesn't know what countries
would be strongest in the event OF
war, and he naturally wants to back
a winner. So he is sitting en- the
fence. And in the meantime, Eng
land and France have lately complet
ed an agreement which is regarded
as being of tremendous Importance
Under it's terms, in the event Of war,
Paris and London would work to
gether toward common goal. Their
general stats would cooperate, as
would their diplomats. AS Doroth.
Thompson puts it, 1T really amounts
to establishing a common army, a
common command, and common

Mint an Important Crop
and Reaches Wide Market

Mint is one of the most important
of all essential producers of aro-
matte oil, the product distilled from
it going to widespread markets in
large quantities to help supply the
need for medicinal compounds, con-
fectioners' fiavorings and extracts.
Menthol and pimenthol also come
from mint, the former being pre-
pared in Japan from one species,
while pimenthol is American, pro-
duced from an entirely different
kind of mint.
Japanese mint culture is confined
to a single spot in northern Japan,
the island of Hondo, where just one
species, Menthe arvensis, variety
piperascens, is grown exclusively.
This particular mint is not known
in wild form. It is inferior to the
best grades of commercial mint but
it is the original source of men,
thol, besides which its oil, when
distilled, exceeds all others in the
quantitative menthol crystal pro-
duction.
Best known of our minis, states
a writer in the Los Angeles Times,
is peppermint" or Menthe piper
tia, the commonly designated Amer
lean mint. In New York this same
mint, which reaches a height OF
three feet, is known as State mint.
Menthe piperita, variety vulgaris,
the so-called black mint, is dark
type of a little less height than pep
permint but with thicker stems and
heavier, broader leaves. 1t ranks
near the top as popular CONNER
cial kind.
One sort, entirely different from
the others, is Menthe citrata, or
lemon mint. Oil from this species
is used extensively in perfume
manufacture.
The small, hairy-leaved species,
M. pulegium, provides the oil from
which is distilled the Pennyroyal of
commerce. Spearmint, or Mentha
spicata, is a household word in this
country.

OPENING OF CANNING SEASON
CAUSES RUSH FOR SOCIAL
SECURITY ACCOUNT
CARDS

A rush of applications for social
security account numbers marked
the opening of the canning season
in this section.
Men and women formerly employ
ed in farm work or other jobs, not
included under old-age insurance
provisions, are now finding work in
canning factories. When they begin
earning wages in industrial plants,
workers become eligible for old-age
insurance accounts, according to
Luther Becker, Manager of the Bal
timore Office of the Social Security
Board.
Mr. Becker explained that agricul-
tural labor is excepted under the
Social Security Act and wages earned
in farm work will not be counted
toward old-age insurance benefits.
But when a farmer or farm labor
err secures work in a factory he
should apply Immediately for Soc
ial security account number. After
that, his wage earnings in the plant
will be credited on his wage record,
(Which is kept by the Social Social
Security Board).
Mr.. Becker said that even though
worker moves from place to place,
finding employment in first one town
and then another, he has chance
to build up a wage record that will
entitle him to old-age insurance pay
ments after he reaches the age of
65. The amount of benefits will de-
pend, of course, upon his own wage
earnings
News boys and delivery boys who
go to school and work part-time may
also become eligible for old-age in
surance benefits. In fact, old-age in
surance provisions apply to most en-
p1oyees in factories, shops, mines,
mills, offices, stores, and other lines
of commerce or industry. They may
be working full-time or part-time.
They may work for more than one
employer at a time. They may be
employed by manufacturers to work
at home. They may be paid by the
piece or by the hour, the day, the
week, or the month. Still they can
build up wage records under the
Social Security Act and become ELI
gible for payment of old-age insur-
ance when their benefits fall due.

Three Types Of Caribou
Roam Forests of Canada

In Canada there are three dis
tinct species of caribou, the barren
ground caribou which is the small
est and most numerous, the wood
land caribou which is larger in
size and comes next in extent of
distribution and abundance, and
the large mountain caribou, or Os.
borne's caribou, which is dark in
color and exceeds all others in size,
notes a Quebec correspondent in the
Indianapolis News.
Of these the barren-ground carl
bou are the most important both in
point of numbers and economic
value, and they probably constitute
the most abundant of the larger
mammals of the world. AS the buff
falo formerly ranged the western
plains in millions, so in like album
dance the barren-ground caribou
ranges the vast northlands of Can
ada. Like the buffalo they furnish
the native inhabitants of the terri
tory in which they are found with
meat and clothing, and finally, like
the bison soon after the middle of
the last century, their numbers are
decreasing with the advent of the
white man and his rifle.
The most striking characteristic
of this animal is its periodical mi
grations in herds of thousands,
southwark in autumn and north
ward in spring. While these mi
grations are very regular in point of
iime, the routes followed often vary
and can not be predicted with any
degree Of certainty.

FEWER MILK COWS, BUT AVER
AGE PRODUCTION UP

The total quantity of milk produc-
ed On farms in the United States last
year is estimated by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics at slightly
mere than 1913 billion pounds. Pro-
ducticm was about the same as in
1896, nearly 2 percent greater than
in either 1894 or 1895, but about
1 " billion pounds short of the rec
ord milk production of 1888.
The average number of milk cows
on farms in the United States during
1897 is estimated to have been 49,
10000 head. This is about l per-
cent fewer than in 1896 and about
6 percent below the peak number
in 1884. Milk production per COW in
1887 averaged 4,353 pounds, which
was aobut / percent higher than in
1886 and the highest since 1881.

How Earthworms Fertilize Soil

ASIDE from making the soil more
porous, earthworms consume the
leaves of certain hardwood trees
and draw the leaves into their holes.
There the leaves either decay or are
digested and deposited in contact
with or near mineral soil. This proc
ess is said to aid in breaking up
the mineral soil through chemical
reactions and helps to prepare min
erals for tree food, thus making it
easier for trees to pump the needed
minerals into their elaborate system
of cells, fibers and leaves where
are manufactured the materials
from which wood is made.

MOVIES FIRST CHOICE AS VIII
LACE DIVERSIONS

Out of every 10 dimes that village
families spend for recreation, about
3 go for motion-picture admissions.
There is striking similarity in fg-
ures for villages in New England,
the Central and Atlantic States, the
Mountain and Plains area, and for
villages ON the Pacific coast.
All these, the Bureau of Home
Economics found in a study OF con-
sumner purchases in 140 representa-
tive villages, spent within from 70
to 81 percent of their recreation
funds for movies, the largest single
classification under recreation. In
the Southeast the percentage was
even higher, with white families in
33 villages spending SO percent OF
recreation money for movies and the
Negro families nearly 81 percent.
This study does not represent ex-
penditures of the entire community
for recreation. 1t covered only white
families that included husband and
wife, both native born, that had not
been on relief for IL months in
1886. The number of children
varied. In the Southeast, Negro fam
lilies in "a villages were studied
separately.
Recreation expenses included a
variety of expenditures for amuse-
ment; admissions to amusements;
games and sports, including equip
ment,. supplies, fees, and licenses;
radios, pianos, and other musical in
struments; dues to social clubs; and
money spent for family pets and for
toys for children. The movies proved
to be the most nearly universal form
of entertainment for village families
and families spent more dollars for
admissions than they did for any
other form of recreation.
