We have so much more to do right

scented his suggestions right
into the divorce court. After that
she married the producer, Anatole
Litvak, and he made suggestions
with like result.
Probably the most cruel and un-
usual criticism, causing the most
grievous mental anguish for plaintiff
and Judge, consists in not criticizing.
That was the trouble Joan Blondeu
had with her first husband George
Barnes, movie cameraman.
Mr.. Barnes was used TO seeing
movie actresses through his lens and
they were no treat 10 him through the
naked eye So Miss Blondell had TO
tell the Judge: He treated me with
Indifference Sometimes ne refused
TO talk TO me for hours at a time He
also liked TO do solo reading in the
presence of guests"
An actress can stand Indifference
from an audience or she wouldn't be-
an actress. (Also she can blame it on
the playwright But certainly she
cannot be asked to tolerate a person
who opens up a book while she is
being irresistible 10 the rest of her
audience. So George ceased to be Mr.
Blondell, and Joan married Dick
Powell And now. according TO latest
reports. Joan and Dick have reached
the parting of the ways.
Indifference was also the reason
given FOR Joan Crawford's divorce
from Eranchot Tone He was accused
OF being worse than Mr. Barnes; he

II you had lived 200 years ago,
you would have seen many men
wearing wigs with long curls or
braids hanging from them. The
leaders Of fashion were not ashamed
to comb their wigs while in public
street or building.
Wigs of that kind are out of FASH
ion today. You might see them on
the heads of judges in a British
courtroom, but people don't wear
them while walking along the
streets.
Yet combs are used by almost all
men, women and children who have
enough hair to bother about
Even the Stone Age Indians of
this continent had combs. Usually
their combs were made from the
horns of animals.
A horn can be soaked with water
and heated in such a way that it
will become soft and can be pressed
out fiat. After that is done, oblong
pieces can be cut from the soft horn.
and knife or saw may be used to
shape the teeth of combs
To this day animal horns play an
important part in providing mate

been divided into two families, the
strigidae, which includes the horned
or cared owls, the barred owls, the
screech owls and other owls, and
the aluconidae family, in which are
found the barn owls.
b While, of course, each member
OF the family possesses certain we'll
known characteristics. the various
owls are individual enough to be
very interesting of themselves.
All owls have exceptionally soft
plumage which permits them to fly
on silent wings. They catch their
prey with their feet Their eyes are
directed forward, so that the head
must be turned in order to find out
what Is going on around and be-
hind them. In turning their head,
they do so to such an extent that
they almost wiring their own neck.
Generally, owls place their nests
in holes of trees or banks. They
may use the abandoned nest of a
crow or hawk. There are from three
to five white eggs. The owlets are
covered with pure white down.
The short-eared owl, also called
the marsh, swamp or prairie owl, is
IA inches long with a wing spread
OF AZ inches. The plumage is a va
ration of yellowish- white and dark
brown. The ear tufts are short and
inconspicuous.

gonia, this owl helps to keep our
small foes in hand. In nearly all its
range, with the exception of the
more southern parts of the Eastern
United States, the young are raised
Winters are spent throughout Uni
ted States and in Cuba.
The marshes and bogs appeal tc
these owls. Unlike most of Their
kin, they will hunt on cloudy, dull
days. They may be seen skimmine
close to the ground where they
swiftly overtake a mouse or rabbit
mostly mice are caught.
Unlike so many of their relatives
these owls love to gather in flocks
of hundred or more. Their COM
bined notes are rather weird anc

Though the ear-tufts are so much
smaller than those of the long.

very large. These owls depend mucf
on their keen sense of hearing. Al

combs of ivory may have 80 teeth

have less than 20 teeth to the inch,
and some have only six or eight.
Modern machines turn out combs
in hurry. Saws may cut the teeth,
with a waste of the material sawed
out. Other machines. have knives
which cleverly cut two combs at a

For the week ending July /, 1914,
the following classes were held in

cussions, Orientation Films, and Over
seas Experiences. Over the same Pc
riod, other activities took place in the
advanced Reconditioning Section. An
Orientation Corner was set up which
Immediately attracted considerable
interest: A suggestion box was given
publicity and a group discussion pc
riod on current affairs was held. The
men of the reconditioning program
are made ever cognizant of the oppor-

through the facilities of the United

men have taken advantage of these
opportunities. A Spanish class is held

great interest
