Q. Why do clerks put the box of
cigars on the counter for ft mau to
select his own cigars? O. Tj. ft.
A. The bureau of internal revenue
says that the law states that after a

It may not be' returned. It is custo
mary for the dealer to allow the cus
tomer to help himself to the number of
cigars desired, rather than to insist
upon a decision first.

TEACH EUROPE
CORN IS FOOD
Mutt Be Induced to Eat Grain
That American Farmers
Offered as Gift.
OPEN NEW EXPORT MARKET
Previous Attempts ffe Teach People ot
Old World That Corn Is a Health
ful and Appetising Cereal ' -v
Have Resulted in Failure.
a' V"" ?
Washington, 1>..C.,- t'au Kuat^pe and
Asia bo tuughi to cat coruYi
Thin momentous question has bet a
raised again by the i^lft of a million
bushels of corn which American farm
era are seudlng to starving Europeans
and Chinese.
You must know that lu practically
no country outside of the two Ameri
cas has maize, or Indian corn, been
used to nny extent aa human food. It
has been regarded us food for live
stock only. The un-American world
has simply never learned to eat corn.
Hpt now large sections of that world
ure starving. Tills would seem to be a
most unbsunl opportunity to teach
Europe and Asia to et?t corn to the ad
vantage of if parlies concerned.
Europe would have a new l'ood, uud
America would have a flew export
market for Its growing corn crop.
Lust season tills country produced
3, 2H2, 307,000 bushels of corn, consider
ably more than the average for the
last live years? 1.\7<5(M?<K>.OOU. But the
big crop has not brought prosperity to
?the uiid-western farmers. lnstea.d,
corn ' prices have fallen fo less than
half what (hey were last year and
many farmers have harvested their
corn a loss.
lllinoisan Suggested Gift.
In, View of these facts, a young Illi
nois farmer suggested the gift corn
project, which has grown to such pro
portions. The offer was made to the^
committees for relief 1 ii. China and the
Near East. They considered the diffi
culties of transportation ami decided
to try to overcome them by obtaining
donations of money atpl help. Some
money has already been collected and
train men ha ve offered their services
free in carrying the grain across coun
M
With this much of the ways and
means problem worked out, the corn
Is beginnlug to be collected at rail
road centers and the first cargo ^has
been stripped to Constantinople. An
attempt is to be tnude to keep track
of Individual donations so (hat a report
can be rendered to the giver, showing <
when and by\yhom 1116 com WAS ttied. !
Shipping com Is a much more com- |
plicated business than shipping wheat.
There Is about 12 per cent water in
corn and the moisture in the grain is
therefore apt to cause mold In ?the
course of lengthy transportation. Dam
age due to moisture l(as frequently
been a cause of complaint In the com
paratively small shipments of corn
which we have scut to Europe. .
o Water cau, however, be baked out
of the corn by a kiln drying process,
after which It will keep for a mUH*1
longer time. This precaution is to be
taken before tl^e gift corn Is shipped
abroad in the form of meal, grits and
hominy. Preparing . the corn will
mean some t delay, but special ma
chinery which would hot be generally
available abroad is needed. A first ship
ment is expected to reach China In
April and It will then be ready for Im
mediate consumption.
They Won't Reject It.
. Ah distribution of the corn is to be
directly In the hands of relief com
mittees, no difficulty In getting the
people to oat the corn 1s anticipated.
In China, where thousands of people
have been trying to live on bark and
mosses, there will be no caviling over
the American corn being pig's food.
And the committees believe that the
grain will be equally welcome In Ar
menia and Hungary. Corn was used
to some extent in Austria during the
war. Europe has never liked it very
much, however, and generally pre
ferred rye when wheat was not to be
had.
Americans have felt that this dislike
was due mainly to Ignorance? not
many Europeans know much about
corn and those who have tasted It
more often than not were prejudiced
by bad cooking.
There is a story along this line
about Carlyle and Emerson. Emerson
wrote to his friend, Carlyle, recom
mending corn as a food and saying
that he had sent a package so that
the Carlyle family might try It. Car
lyle wrote bark politely to thank Mr.
Emerson, but to say that after sevaral
experiments they really did not And
the flavor of corn meat ngreeable. The
correspondence stopped here until Mrs.
Emerson could copy off some of her
best r*dpes. Then the Carlyles were
asked to try again. They did. and
wrote hack enthusiastically to know
where they could get more of the
.American delicacy
Believe Europe Would Like It.
This Incident, from the letters of
Carlyle and Emerson, Is one of the
grounds on which Americans bsse
their conviction that Europe would like
corn If it could ever be persuaded to
flra It m fair trial The d*psrtin??nt
of agriculture once eout demonstrators

, the different e?untrl*ii a* to the pota
bilities of Indian com. Neither elo

Mostly those prvsent did not evtu coma
forward to get the samples.
Because of such experience*, whert
the food shortage begat* to afflict
Kurope, (lie United Ntute* dUl not send
j ?eorti to the rescue. Vou may remem
ber that Herbert Hoover urged us to
out more corn and save wheat because
Europe could not very well ho taught
to cat a new kind ol' t'o<ul In no critical
? period.
Now the oil nation Is different and^
Hoover accepted the offered corn glad
ly. Ahout 1.000,000 bushels, It |s an

famine areas, und probably ' mi>st of It

Good Nutritive Value.
With adequate cooking the uutritlve
value <>f corn Is about the same as
that of wheat. Com contains a large
amount of sugar and starch which
supply the body .with heat and energy.
It a I so has a gotal deal of protein
which builds up the body tissues. It
1? not, hovever, rich in minerals, need
ed in bone formation. Experiments
have shown that corn is about us di
gestible as wheat and that DO per ^-ent
of its dry matter is absorbed In the
process of digestion.
Possibly It does not become America
to be too impatient with the Kuropean
lack of appreciation of corn. The high
jiutritive value of corn Is realized all
over this country and wo have been
eating It ever since the Pilgrims, by
accident, dug up some seed corn bur
led by the Indian^ ami got them to
explain the growth and uses of the
grain. Further back than that, Colum
bus is said to have found corn grow*
lug -over hero, and the Aztecs In their
great civilization used It. This coun
try lias bad plenty of time to study
corn and Its uses. Yet it is estimated
' that less than !<> per cent of our big
corn crops Is eaten by people, whereas
practically all of the wheat Is turned

'DEBUTANTE SLOUCH* PASSjNG
New Styles for Women Allow Better
Posture, Says Instructor In
Remedial Gymnastics.
Wellesley, Mass. ? The now styles
for women mean tlie death of the
"debutante * slouch."
/Phis Is tlio view at leasts of the de
partment of hygiene at Wellesley _col?
lege, which follows the styles with a
watchful eye for their effect on the
bearing and general health of Welles
ley's 1,500 students.
No one Is more delighted at the pass
ing of the styles responsible foibthe
"debutante slouch" than Miss Mary S.
Haagensen, Ihsfructbr fn^remediat gym
nasties.
"The old styles, with their tight
flttlng and clinging lines," she says,
"moulded most girls Into a shape much
like the figure 'S.' Everything about
this posture, from a hygienic point of
view, was bad. Today, with looser
garments, Introduced on the wave of
popularity for the sport clothes, It
will be a much easier thing for a girl ]
to stand up straight." ?'
Miss Haagensen looks for. more com
mon sense in all of the stylos for the
future, due to the wider participation
of women in outdoor exercise.
Boy Comes to Life,
Asks "Wha's Dat Pig?"
Scliua, Ala. ? Slrfalla Brown,
fifteen-year-old negro, has an
other claim to fame besides Ills
remarkable name, for Slrfalla
has just figured In a remarkablo
accident, which occurred while
he was standing at Caseys sta
tion to watch the train come In.
A small porker rooting about
the station was tossed high Into
the air by a locomotive, landing
on Sirfalia's chest. The pig was
killed and so was Slrfalla ? ap
parently. Doctors were sum
moned from Selma to examine
the seemingly dead Slrfalla.
Jnst before they arrived, how
ever, Slrfalla opened his eyes
and demanded to know, "Wha's
dat pig?" Informed that It had
been killed by the impact, he
claimed it as "his meat," and
the offending carcass was turnod
over to him for sausage.
