Among the old sayings which we
sometimes hear Is one about max
ing a mountain out of a molehill."
When a person makes a noun
tain out of a molehill," he makes
something big out Of something
small. He may have some little
worry, but talks about 1t, or thinks
about it, as If it were very i'm
portant.
To an ant, a molehill must seem
like mountain. To man, a mole
hill is Just small thing to step over
or kick aside.
A molehill is made up Of dirt near
the mouth Of tunnel. The dirt
Is kicked out of the tunnel by the
mole which digs it.
Moles are small animals, usually
not more than five or six inches
long, counting the short tail. Their
bodies are covered with soft fur.
Some kinds of moles have black
fur; others are gray, grayish-blue,
or brown. The furs can be sold,
but many of them are needed to
make a garment Sometimes they
are employed as fur trimming on
q coat. In one year more than
100000 moleskins were sold IN
London, England.
Moles may be found on the ground
surface now and then, but they
spend almost all their time under

UNCLE RAYS CORNERMo Are Among Greedy

ITS pounds of food in a day, he
would be eating like a mole.
A search for food Is the main
object of moles when they dig long
tunnels. They make tunnels for
their nests, but those are not of
such length as the ones they cut
while looking for something to eat.
The front paws of a mole are
built for fast digging. In stretch
of Is hours, one mole dug a tunnel
SO feet long, and side tunnels with
a length Of SO feet, making a total
of 104 feet. That case was checked
with special care by a scientist. Dr..
w. T. Hornaday.
Gardeners often make war on
moles. The animals do not feast
on plants, but sometimes they cut
through roots while looking for
worms. They are a help to the
gardener when they destroy certain
kinds Of grubworms.

Don't Take Ny
Word For 1t

Experiment
Noun. A trial or test.

Y
EXPERIMENT is the surprise
word of the week. Do not say
"ex-SPEAR- -uh-ment."
II we turn to the dictionary, we
find that the second syllable (-per-)
Is marked to rhyme with the er- of
error, errand, errant. The breve over
the "e" "a little mark like a cres-
cent with the horns pointing up
ward) makes the per- syllable
rhyme approximately with air, fair,
pair.
Skeptical readers will neigh
With merriment,
When they are told they should say:
Ex-pair- -uh-ment.
Note, also, that the second syllable
of SINCERITY is not "sear," as
~sin-SEAR- tee" 1t, too, must
rhyme with air, hair, fair.
IMPORTANT. One should not
speak of trying an experiment"

West led the four of diamonds
and dummy ruffed. South drew two
rounds of trumps and then went
after the hearts, but had to lose a
heart and two clubs. Since East
would have made five diamonds
South was well pleased with the
pne-trick set as sacrifice, and the
opponents accepted 200 points as
the best they could get under the
circumstances.
But despite all this satisfaction
there was a malefactor on the scene
See if you can identify him and
spot his crime before you read on.
South was the criminal for he
should have made the contract. Cor
rect play is to discard club from
dummy at the first trick-not to
ruff. East has to put up the dia-
mond ace to win the trick, thus
establishing South's diamond king.
East's best shift is to club, but
South takes the club ace, draws two
rounds of trumps, and discards
dummy's last club on the king of
diamonds. In this way, South saves
two club tricks at the expense Of
only one diamond trick.
From there on the play is easy.
South ruffs two clubs and two dia-
monds in the dummy, making his
contract.

and present about beautifyine your
self via the bath:
/. Nine. Tallieu used 20 pounds
of fresh strawberries and 2 pounds
of raSpberries, crushed, and thrown
into the tub. 1t is said that she
emerged fresh and perfumed. with
her skin as soft as velvet. This
might be worth trying on smaller
scale.
2. A strong concoction Of spinach
also is supposed to be beneficial in
the bath.
3. Anne of Austria had red roses
scattered into the water in which
she bathed.
4. Balinese women. who are noted
for their satinv skins. give them
selves daily ruodovns with pumice
and oil.
5. Coming TO more modern life
We find that one screen star uses
cornStarch as a bath powder. This
Is supposed to prevent prickly heat
6. Damp table salt gives you
splendid rundown. 1t stimulates cir
culation and refnes texture. The
Spartans used it.
| 7. Body brushes and foot brushes
aid nature in sloughing off old cpl
dermis and in unclogging the pores
8. Baths which are too hot are
fatlguing.
g. The habit of alternating hot
and cold baths toughens the skin
so that you will not take cold every
time you feel a little draft or ex-

though most of us poor woiking

Now. look, you can have a mani

water, that dip into warm oil and

but the msnicurist doesn't or you'd

In between your manicures. you
can do a nice job Of fpolish-changing
If necessary, and you can also rely
upon your trusty fingernail scissors
and emery board to remove hang
nails and rough edges. You can
push back the cuticle and even give
your fingers a nice application of
warm oil some evenings when
you're catching up on your reading.
More than that, you can pay at
tention to your hands as we'll as
your nails. Use a good hand cream
and keep a jar of it in the office
drawer. If the Office soap is that
harsh liquid or gritty powder, take
along your own bar of soap when
you wash up. Exercise your fingers
-typewriting is wonderful-and
make them flexible and soft. OF
course, you never do such horrible
things as cracking your knuckles"
or chewing your nails, but you can
help to break others of it. as long
as you don't need the hint. Try not
to peel of your polish. A manicure
will help to prevent this habit. more
so than will doing your nails at
home. If the polish does chip, do
over the complete nail; don't try
to patch it up. You'll be wise to
have a bottle of the same shade of
enamel that tina manicurist uses
just for this very purpose.
