wounded animal has suddenly got
to its feet and charged, although it
was apparently dead only a mo-

This is not just an odd case Of
the buffalo being stunned, for ex-

Of the same characteristic.
You will not be surprised to hear
that monkeys are adopts at lying

and even elephants have been

Cab'1et System the Idea
OF President Washington

President Washington practically
created the cabinet system, which
was not provided for in the Con-
stitution, although that document
made provision for the division of
administrative duties into various
departments, the heads Of which
should be required to make reports
of the activities of their depart
ments to the chief executive, notes
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
The administrative branches orig
inally were three-the departments
Of state, treasury and war. Early
in his presidency, Washington in
stituted an advisory council of the
three department heads. This was
the beginning Of the cabinet meet
ings, which have been held ever
since.
An officer called the attorney gen.
eral was a part of the government
from the beginning, but he was
originally an adjunct Of the judi
ciary, to be prosecutor for the ma
tional government and counsel to
the President and department heads
on matters Of law. Washington soon
added the attorney general to his
advisory council, but it was not I'M
til 1870 that this officer was made
cabinet member and the head of the
department Of justice.
In 1898, incidental to preparations
for war with France, the Navy de-
partment was created separate
from the war department. The post
master general did not become q
cabinet member and head Of a sep
arate department until 1929.
In 1849, a number Of Offices and
bureaus previously distributed
among the other divisions were
combined into the department Of
the interior, The department of ag-

The most beautiful and probably
the most important member Of the
quartz family, the amethyst varies
in color from royal purple to the
lightest shades Of purple, and from
brownish pink to light pink and
lilac.
This stone was In great demand
among the Greeks and Romans be-
cause of the belief that the wearing
of an amethyst had the power to
expel poison, make its wearer ex-
pert In business affairs and victori-
Gus In chase and battle, writes a
correspondent In the Montreal Her

. the vogue Of the amethyat

the vogue Of the amethyst
has risen and waned In past years,
there has never been q period when
this beautiful stone has not been
sought for by those who appreciate
jewels for their artistic value. IN
der the dichroscope two images are
generally seen In the dark violet
colored amethyst-one reddish and
one blush purple.
The amethyst win not stand high
temperature, as it loses its color
and turns yellow: In fact. many Of
the quartz topaz are produced by
burning amethysts."
The greater number Of amethysts
come from Brazil and Uruguay, the
commercial designation for the me-
dunn grades being Brazilian anne
thysts," while the rich dark-purp1e
stones are known as the Uruguay
amethyst"
Some fine amethyst pebbles are
found In the gem-bearing gravels
Of Ceylon, but these stones are not
plentiful enough to have CONNER
cial importance.

M. L. R. j.: Was my husband
with the girl that I thought he was
with on the night of May 18th ?
How long has this been going on?
Ans: Not with her, but an
other. Since you have been mar
ried he has at times made side
steps from the straight and mar
row. However, most of these ven
lures were entirely harmless. His
greatest fault seems to be his I'M
ruly temper. He would be less apt
to stray if you could put your own
affairs on a more agreeable basis.
c. H. c.: Things look mighty
shakey for me on my job. Will I
lose my job?
Ans: Continue to perform the
duties entrusted to you to the very
best of your ability and you will be
able to hold your job. Things have
been shakey for months in your
line of work; however, recent de-
velOpments have brought about
decided change. You may reason
ably expect further improvements
as time goes by.
B. B. L.: Should write the boy
and tell him what he has done to
me, or should I do what I have
considered doing? -.
Ans: 1t could do no harm to
write the boy and acquaint him
with the facts of the case, although
it is prOblematical whether he
would be sufficiently interested to
act. In case he does not care to
be bothered you can then do as you
have contemplated. At any rate,
give him a chance to do his part.
M. j.: Did C. B. mean what he
said, and did I make a mistake by
refusing? What must / do?
Ans: Yes he was sincere

Formed the Wisconsin Dells

Some thousands Of years ago,
when the Wisconsin river began its
flow down to the sea, Its course was
shifted time and time again as It
found its way over the fat lime
stone bed. AS it rushed along 1t
cut into the limestone, and the pas
sage Of the great glacier made other
cuts In the rock, forming the weird
shapes which are now known as the
Dells. The Turks Head, the Bal
anced Rock, the Needle and the
Devils Doorway are only a few Of
the descriptive names given these
formations.

H. T.: Will my husband return
to me? What caused him to leave
and what is keeping him away?
Also, what makes him so evil?
Ans: 1t is useless to hope that
you and he will ever live peace
fully together again. He left be-
cause he was tired of the unpIeas-
ant situation existing in your home.
Nothing other than a desire for
peace is keeping him away. He
seems evil to you simply because
you think evil of him. 1t is almost

L. M. c.: I am in love with a
young man and another girl has
gone so far as to threaten his life
because of me. Did she mean it :?
Ans: Stuff and nonsense .
he is free, unattached, and under
no obligation to her. All is fair
in love and war so stick to
him and may the best girl win.
Her idle threats were caused by
jeaIOusness and are harmless.

Ans: What can you hope to ac-
cOmplish by continuing to assOci-

If he had been in love with you he
would never have married the other
woman. Indeed you are wasting
your time.

L. M. S.: Will my common-law
wife stop lying? Will we make up
and be married some day?
Ans: She is addicted to lying,
just as some people are addicted
to drinking. It is not desire, but
rather a habit. She won't reform.
Don't consider marriage with her.
Allow her to go her way and seek
another for yourself.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-08-05

Ans: 1t is not, and has never
been, my policy to encourage any
one to disObey their parents, but I
sincerely think that you should be
the sole Judge as to whom you shall
marry. No parent is ever very en-
thusiastic about their children mar
rying unless they be selfish and ex-
pect some personal gain. Finish
your school before marrying.

o. D. B.: I am in love with a
girl. Can I put confidence in her
or is she to be trusted?
Ans: She is worthy of any trust
that you may be inclined to place
in her. She is an unusually fine
girl and will make you a good wife
if you are lucky enough to win her.
And you CAN win her if you try
hard enough. -...s
