Many Husbands Spoiled
By Wife's Poor Cooking

A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by acknowledgment in cook
ing, and so are not tender and good.
Some women 60 about il as if their
husbands were bladders and blow
them up-others keep them con-
stantly In hot water-and others let
them freeze by their carelessness
and Indifference Some keep them
In a stew by irritating ways and
words-others waste them. Some
keep them in pickle all their lives.
1t cannot be supposed that any
husband will be tender and good if
managed in this way, but they are
really extremely delicious when
properly managed.

wrap him is nicely washed and

Liverpool Rummy

Something new to pass the eve
nings away-Liverpool Rummy-is
now on the market, and in many
organizations and afternoon gather
ings, this game is replacing bridge.
Any number may play this game,
having the usual tables of four play
ers and progressing just as you
would at bridge. 1t is far more ex-
citing than the simpler games of
rummy and is very easy to learn,
say those who have played the
game.
Liverpool Rumnly may be played
at home, also, with any number of
players from two 70 seven taking
part. Two decks of cards are used,
with each player getting 10 cards
and the remainder being placed in
the center of the table and turning
up one card beside it, Ace is high
and counts ten. King, Queen and
Jack also count ten.

Spend Tenth for Research

Ten firms in the US. spent more
than 10 per cent of their gross in
come on research IN 1910. These
included four chemical concerns.
Metallurgy, agricultural and organ
ic chemical technology, petroleum,
synthetic textiles, rubber and resins
were the chief fields of industrial
research in the United States during
1910. British, German and Russian
investigations have been concerned
specially with metals, coal and
petroleum products, paints, plastics
and foodstuffs. There Is also an ever
increasing awareness in American
industry of the importance of re-
search and of the high dividends
which research has paid in recent
years. The success of nickel was
brought about by the investment of
$40, Zoo, 900 in research. Twenty-four
per cent of Armstrong Cork's sales
are from new products developed
within the last seven years. Johns
Manville's novel or improved prod
ucts within the last decade are re-
sponsible for 43 per cent of its sales

Winter Driving PerilS

Two precautionary measures to
mitigate the driving hazards OF
snow, sleet and ice on many dan
gerous grades we're recently advo-
Gated by the City of Cincinnati.
One suggestion was that suitable
containers holding sand, ashes, or
cinders, which could be spread by
any citizen when an emergency
arises, be placed near such grades.
The other suggestion was that every
motorist carry in the rear compart-
ment of his car a small box, bag
or other container filed with ashes
sand or cinders
If cities accepted these Sugges.
tons, Cincinnati officials feel that il
would not only be a means OF
preventing accidents, but the plans
would give work TO many unem-
plOyed men, who could make the
containers and signs to place on
them, informing the public OF their
purpose, and could fill and refill
them.

Ceiling Heights Affect Heating

Ceiling heights in houses are not
solely matters of taste but also in
volve the important factors of heat
ing and ventilating, FILA officials
say
Homes built during the Victorian
period usually had elevations of 10
or II feet. These heights were
thought to be of aid in keeping the
rooms cool during hot weather. Ac-
tually, unless the warm air was
carried off properly it only served to
increase the temperatures by storing
up masses of warm air.
Any sensation of GOODNESS noted
was due mainly to the mental reac-
ton of the residents, it is believed.
Most experts now agree that any
space more than IL inches above
the heads Of windows, unless VEN
tilated thoroughly, is of no value in
cooling the room.

Every Object Has Center

Every object, however irregular It
may be, has center II it were
hung by the center point, the object
would not tip laZily, but would bal
ance.
When you stand on the tip Of one
toe, the rest of your body has to be
in such position as to balance over
the toe. A rocking chair tips over
when you rock so far b ck that the
center of weight is thrown behind
the supporting rockers.
Cut piece of cardboard in any
irregular shape By resting it hori-
zontally on pin point, held straight
up and down, you ca soon find
the point where it balances. Now.
if you thrust the pin through this
point and hold the pin horizontally.
you will find that the card will stay
in any position that you put it. 1t
is said to be in equilibrium.

Sulfanilamide Giving

Invention of Reaper Not
Disclosed for Ten Years

Cyrus Hall Mccormick invented a
reaper and started an agricultural
revolution.
Until the invention of the reaper,
agriculture had advanced little be-
yond the implements of Biblical
times. Man could not harvest as
much as he could SOW, nor as much
as land would produce. A strong
man could cut two acres of wheat
day with a scythe Four of every
five people in the United States were
employed on farms.
Mccormick father, an iron-work-
er, had tried unsuccessfully to in
vent machine for cutting standing
wheat. At %, Cyrus began work on
the idea and IN six weeks produced
the first reaper. The essentials of
that first machine are found in mod
ern binders and combines.
The reaper was given its initial
test in 1881, cut 10 .in a day.
But Mccormick cid not offer his ma
chine for sale until 1910.
