LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-After
a wife has sued for divorce, it's
none of her business whether her
husband occupies a motel room

That is the basis on which DR..

that Superior Court reject Mrs.
Wesley's story about how she sur
prised him and pretty divorce
last March %.
The wife Gladys, q, testified
yesterday that she was rivaled also
by the professors accordion.
He'd come home nights, and
instead of coming to me-" she
complained. he'd go to his ac-
Gordon and play it, ignoring me.

ANSWERS TO MILK QUERIES.

ANSWERS TO MILK QUERIES.
From p. E. LeF., Washington
In your recent issue you have
an inquiry from Mrs. ". T. M,
entitled Milk Problems" The
pasteurization of dairy products
is designed to kill all disease bac-
terra and make these products
safe for human consumption. In
killing disease types of bacteria,
a large percentage of the normal
souring types of organisms are
also killed, so that In making any
fermented product the milk has
to be inoculated with the type of
souring culture desired.
Most cultured products have
their origin in countries where
temperature and atmospheric
conditions are conducive to the
growth of that particular organ
ism.
It, has only been in recent years
that by duplicating the conditions
found In the various countries
where various fermented milk and
cf1eeses originated have we been
able to make satisfactory prod
ucts.
Usually these soured products
made from raw milk develop
enough acidity to kill or inhibit
the growth of the so-called un-
desirable types. Generally, cul-
tured sproducts are more easily
digested than regular pasteurized
milk. unless it is homogenized
milk. One of the reasons why
homogenized milk has had such
a wide acceptance by the medical
profession is that the process
makes the milk soft curd, or, in
other words, easier to digest and
aSSimilate.
This in brief should answer
some of the questions asked.

ever, before the volunteers were
working as a team and began
pouring water on the nearby
houses which were already par
TALLY on fire. After these were
put out the streams were center
ed on the big blaze.
Ironic Humor
In the chaos following the ar
rival of the engines, there was a
mirthful scene. About six husky
men grabbed a hose and darted
to the nearest hydrant when the
shouts of the on-lookers stopped
them, to find they had been NOV
ing at top speed with but a few
feet of hose that had parted from
the greater length.

Superintendent Paraliticci had
summoned fire apparatus from
Bethlehem Alexander Hamilton
Field and from Frederiksted. All
arrived after a record run from
Cnelf headquarters DuC py The
time they arrived the fire was I'M
der control.
During the excitement Joseph
Alexander, we'll known merchant
and personal friend of the Cha
berts, calmly entered the garage
and drove out the car to a safer
place down the street. 1t was
learned that Mrs. Chabert had
just laid in bills $500 on her grand
piano when the fire got out of
hand and she was forced to flee
into the street. Leander Hender-
son, who was present when the
fire started, made heroic attempts
to put out the blazing stove which
caused it.
Mr. and Mrs. de Chabert were
taken to the home of DR.. Aubrey
Anduze at Princess, while their
children remained in town with

A fathom amounts to six feet,
and this measure grew out of
the distance a man could stretch
his outspread arms. In the case
of man six feet tall, the distance
from the tip of one middle finger
to the tip of the other will be six
feet, or just about that.
The rule works for almost every
one A boy who can stretch his
arms to a distance of five feet and
two inches is likely to have that
much height.
There is a bit of romance, per-
haps, in the story of old ways of
measuring-with feet, yards, faith
oms, rods, and so on-but those
measures are awkward. Why should
a foot contain II inches, and why
should each inch be divided into
eighths and sixteenthS?

What's the Origin?

@. Why do we speak of the tides
OF March?"-Mrs. j. C.
A. Ides Is from the Latin Idus,
"the divided or half month (the
days of light of the moon)." In the
Roman calendar, the Ides fell on
the. 18th of March, May, July, and
October, and on the 18th day in the
remaining months.
In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar"
Act. I, Scene II, Caesar and his
friends enter a public place. They
are followed by a great crowd, which
includes soothsayer who contin-
ually croaks, Beware the Ides OF
march," Caesar asks, what man
is that?' Brutus answers, "a sooth-
sayer bids you beware the Ides of
March" CassiuS summons the
soothsayer, and Caesar bids him
speak again. Beware the Ides of
March" Caesar brushes him aside
saying: He is a dreamer; let us
leave him; pass"
Later, in the street before the
capital, Caesar again encounters the
soothsayer, and taunts him, saying,
The Ides of March are come" "Ay,
Caesar" warns the Soothsayer, "but
not gone" Caesar goes to the Sem

hard it is to multiply such numbers

France was pioneer in working

government approved the meter as
a standard of length. A meter was

North Pole. 1t is equal to 80 3-8
inches, or a little more than sone

people use it for little while.

In the great majority of civilized
nations, the meter has become the
standard of length. Many countries
use the entire metric system, which
includes measures of volume, weight,
area and so on-all worked out on
the decimal plan.
In a few countries-including the

Britain-most persons still cling to
old-faShioned systems of measuring
