impossible that he was entrusted
with such responsibility. But

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
B. Els there any harm in
taking a half teaspoon or a tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda in
a glass of hot water after meals
for acidity and gas? l have heard
that soda should always be taken
IN cold water as hot water changes
its character.
Answer: Hot water does not
change the character OF bicarbo-
nate Of soda and it makes no diff
ference whether it is taken in hot
or cold water.

A SANE CHRISTMAS

Aside from the main reason.

from the last minute Christmas
crowds.
1t was a. fine final shopping total
that Ypsilanti merchants rang up
on their cash registers Thursday.
And il was a sensible thing that
they did in closing their stores for
the week end The late Christmas
I've crowd was conspicuously abb
sent Thursday evening. Most
stores closed at o'clock and will
rot open again till Monday morn
ing.
Merchants and clerks earned
that brief rest period. For the first
time in history. according to old
time residents, late Christmas buy
ing was terminated by general
agreement Of the merchants and
scores Of tired store people en-
joyed an uninterrupted Christmas
holiday with their families. A
few necessary exceptions could
hardly be avoided. but on the whole
Z, was sane and sensible Christ

And there was gayety. We
can't help the war effort by being
dowuhearted over the Christmas
week end. 50 We may as well make

There was a fine intermission
for church services. Never was
there any more sincere devotionals

nations. all of which was in hearty
accord with the sentiment Of Inc

Would Bette Davis have played such a convincing Mildred" if circum- stances had never forced her to be a waitress at school?
 Recognition came to Bette Davis soon after school. She had always wanted to be an actress and her mother encouraged her, although her father thought she should take a business course in New York and prepare to be stenographer. She attended a dramatic school in New York instead, and then obtained job as an usherette in the Cape Playhouse of Cape Cod, Mass. Fiji nally she was given a small part, and rose rapidly in the theater, go- ing on to Hollywood where she rose to stellar heights in "Of Human Bondage" For her performance in Dangerous" she received the Mo ton Picture award in 1885.

BETTE DAVIS WAS AN
 USHERETTE

I TEE has a strange way, some Ltimes, of repeating a circum- stance from our previous struggles, as if to remind us that what may have once seemed a difficult trial was actually preparation for later triumph. am thinking, particular ly, of Bette Davis and the marvel ous performance she gave as the waitress, Mildred, in "Of Human Bondage"
 Bette Davis was born in Lowell, Mass, in 1903. Her mother had only a small alimony with which to support Bette and her sister, so she became d professional photogra- pher. After attending the Mary Ar den school of Peterboro, N. H., Bette went to Cushing academy of Boston. There, she waited on ta- bles to earn her tuition. To the six teen-year-old little girl, whose dra- matic ambitions made her super sensitive to her role in life, her oc- cupation as waitress was humiliat-

 Why, the stranger! The great big stranger who made those tracks in the snow I told you about and whom you tried to find and couldn't. I saw him just few minutes ago! Who do you suppose he is, and do you suppose he has come to the Green Forest to stay?" cried Pe- ter, talking so fast that the words just tumbled out.
 How should I know?" replied Jumper the Hare. Suppose you tell me something about him. What does he look lke?"

 Jumper the Hare smiled at Peter, and Peter knew right away by that smile that his big cousin had been teasing him. "Yes," said he, T be- lieve it because-well, because I have seen him myself"

For the one window that is to be opened, a removable double window can be attached inside. If the easement is provided with inside insect screens on hinges, the screens can be re- placed with glass. Another possibil- ity is a sheet of plate glass cover- ing the entire opening, set in a frame of wood molding, fitted to the inside of the window frame. The molding should have good-sized ham, dies attached to it, so that it can be easily moved, and when in place, it is held by simple bolts or turn. buttons.
 Double windows raise the temper. ature of a room by many degrees. There is far less chilling of the space near a window, and drafts in the room are greatly cut down. Double windows are well worth whatever they may cost.

 But sometimes our modern mood is upon us, and we tell our fretting friends to act their age. To use their brains. A temper, we tell them is just a sign of an empty head. If you really want your hus- band to go places with you, try to think up places that he might really like to go. Don't be unimaginative and suggest the movies every night, or bridge party at the Simpsons. By mere repetition he gets bored. Think up thirty-one different places you might go, and spring a new one every night in the month. Suggest ferry rides and moonlight sWims and country fairs.

 During the World war, Bob Burns was in the marines, was crack rifle shot, and entertained the sol diers with his "bazooka." After the war, he started a concession on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, running a game of chance. He married girl who worked in another conces- sion and, together, they started a dance hall; but it failed. Failure after failure. And in the midst of his troubles, his son was born.
 But then Bob Burns got job in vaudeville, and in few short years he was at the top of the entertain ment world, with contracts for stage, motion pictures, and radio. His "bazooka" in which he had such faith, but which seemed such hopeless comedy to many people, is with him today and known all over the country.

THE most important material A which we take into our bodies through the mouth is completely lacking in food value! This sounds like a contradictory statement It IS, however, water which we are describing in these terms. As has been proven many times, man can live much longer without food than he can without drink, which he must have, not only to satisfy his thirst craving. but for use in every body process.
 The first qualifications in choosing place of residence is a liberal and sure water supply. Those of us who live in cities and suburbs take this for granted. This is not the case, however, in the country. It was brought to my attention in Maine when a new well was necessary. Captain Sinnott was called upon to locate the well on one of the veins of water which run at intervals through the region. He came armed with a crotched willow tWig, which, believe it or not, turned toward the ground when it found running water Of course, it would not be so oblig ing for everyone. although we were all allowed to try our hand at divin- ing. One or two of us actually found that we had the power, al- though we were scientific scoffers.
 To go back to the importance of water which too often we neglect to drink in the proper quantity. At least eight glasses should be taken daily if our body machinery is to be supplied with amounts which will enable it to run efficiently. Some of this may be taken at meals if it is drunk after food has been chewed and swallowed. The rest may be taken between meals. Part of the supply may of course be in the form of any sort of liquid beverage.

RADIO STAR RAN A CONCESSION

E ORTUNE'S favorites do not all | ways bear marks to distinguish them from her failures. Bob Burns, who with his "bazooka" has be- come nationally known for his radio broadcasts and motion picture work, for many years looked like a failure. He was born in Van Buren,
 Ark, in 1896, and was always fond of music. His first 'bazooka" was a horn made from a piece of pipe welded to a funnel, because he had nothing else to play. After two years in college. he joined some friends in Oklahoma raising pea nuts. Bob gave that up to go back to Van Buren where he joined a minstrel troupe at three dollars a

DOUBLE WINDOWS FOR
 EASEMENTS

nUR1NG the warm times of year, D easement windows that swing outward are certainly attractive. This is not only for appearance, but for the full ventilation that comes with the opening of an entire win dow space. In winter, however, the situation is reversed. Out-swinging easement windows are more likely to leak than is the case with win doWs of other kinds. Also, the ordi- nary form of double window cannot be used.
 When there are two or more case ment windows in a room, it is un-
