"Well, well," he ggld, "lt'? funny to see you coming out of a savltigtj hank, Aunt Emmy. I thought only pour folka like me had money In aavinga banka?people like you Just clip coupons!" "Have you a uavluga bank account?" countered Aunt Emmy. "Well, er?I suppose I haven't," he admitted. "You aee, it'a hard to aa\e money when you're first married Somehow there uever soerns to b? enough money to go 'round?let alone to put in a aavlnga bank." "You nerer will have if you don't get etarted," interrupted Aunt Emmy "You should make your weekly sav Inge deposit, no matter how small, the first claim on your salary after paying your bills. I make my weekly de posit In this bank faithfully?I put away a certain sum regularly." "You can!" Nat commented "It la more a habit than you would suppose," Aunt Emmy continued "Any one can do it who is willing to let other things wait I began putting a little money In a savings bank years ago when It was no Joke to save a few pennies. I remember what a wonderful thrill I got the first time I saw my Interest entered in my bank book. There was money that my money had earned all by itself. After that it was a sort of game with me to put a certain sum. In the bank, eveu If I had to do without things I would have enjoyed having. Now I realise what It means to keep your money busy earning all the time so I continue to put a little In the savings bank regularly and, after it accumulates, I draw some out and Invest In safe securities that pay a higher rata, of Interest than savings. All the time, you see, the money Is working for me. "Of course, when the sum Is small, it earns little, but if you start young, as you and Molly are, it Is almost like magic the way it mounts up after a few years?then when your savings get grown up into a real investment they earn a real income." "I never thought of It In that light," said George. "Try It?and see for yourself how It works," urged Aunt Emmy. "Have you ever thought how nice It would be to have g few dollars ready for use In case of an emergency? Accidents and illnesses do happen. Or suppose you had an opportunity to buy something you knew you could sell at a profit and you had to let the opportunity slip for the lack of a few hundred dollars. You and Molly would never miss Ave dollars a week?and if you keep at it. It wUi work wonders!" " V "You're right, It wourdl" Exclaimed George. "I'll talk to Molly tonight. Aunt Emmy, and see If we can't revise our expenditures." "There would be a whole lot less family trouble and worry* over money matters if every young couple did the aame thing early in life," Aunt Emmy aid. " 'Start young,' is the magic slogan."

Hnzletoo, I'm.?The cougreguilo.i ?>f Our l.udy of Mouut Csriuel. which holds the distinction of luting the firm Sjjolese orgnnlzatlou of Us kind to rtonuod in America and which, wlia intense national pride, styles Itself Tyrol ese evqp though the Trentlno now is part of Italy, has Just dedicated u handsome chapel at Its parish cemetery. Made of marble ant perched on the slope thut communes the burial grounds, the building makes an Impressive appearance when viewed from tlie iiazleton-Allentown-i'hlludelpliia state highway. The celebration of AU Souls' day at the cemetery also Is a possibility now that tills consecruted structure has been put into use and this arrangement is considered quite desirable. 1 lie building ulso will be uqed for services ut times that this stormy section of the stute makes outdoor conditions Intolerable and grave digging sometimes out of the question. Services can be held at the chapel and the burial can be effected later. Kev. Lewis Lucchl is the pastor of the congregation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and has a devoted flock. To the student of history, when he meets and knows the Tyrolese, comes u light on the accounts of Hannibal's campaigns, with their atory of aid given the Carthageulan In his campaigns against Rome. The auxiliaries came from the hills, where the Inveterate enemies of the republic lived. Among the Tyrolese are found names like Anuabale, which Is Hannibal with the "H" missing. Amalcare also Is ' to be found, and the name of the favorite general of Hannibal, Hamllcar, is recalled. Aiacare la, encountered, and Alarlc's name thus is found preserved In a people's traditions, after the expiration of- many centuries. Naturally, the Tyrolese who kept their national entity In those days of the Roman empire wish to keep .lt still and they are not disposed to accept the designation of Italian citizens, If unnaturalized, but still call themselves Tyrolese. Day Steals From Night, but It's Slow Pilfering London.?Old Grandmother Earth Is getting Just a little teeny-weeny bit more sunshine In her life as Old Father Time clicks off the revolving centuries. It Isn't a great deal, In the sunshine and daylight measurements as reckoned by puny man, but In her time It may amount to quite a lot' SLr Frank Dyson, astronomer-royal at Greenwich observatory, has calculated that the days are lengthening at the rate of something like on* section In every thousand centuries. In a lecture on "The Observation of the Solar Eclipse " Sir Frank explained how the eclipse In Nineveh in 753 B. C., enabled astronomers to discover that the speed of the rotation of the earth was gradually being reduced. Hailey's calculations of the eclipse In Nineveh shpwed that that city should have .been some hundreds oi miles outside the zone of observation. To moke his calculation fit the facts, he suggested that the month was getting longer, and subsequent work had shown that the movement of the tides was lengthening the day by a thousandth part of a second each century, Find Ancient Tracks Across Grand Canyon Washington.?New finds of fossil footprints in the rocks of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, but this time on the north rim, 14 miles from the site of previous discoveries on the south rim, are reported by Dr. Charles W. Gilmore pf the United States National museum and Glenn IT. Sturdevant, government naturalist of Grand Canyon National park. Slabs bearing the foot Imprints ol . small reptiles or salamanderlike amphibians were found st two levels, one In the Coconino and one In the Supal formation. These correspond with tw? of the three formations on the othet side of the canyon lh which tracks have.been found during the last few years, bat further exploration and examination of specimens will have to be carried on before It can be deter mined whether the levels match Of exactly and whether the tracks represent the same kinds of feet The fossil footprints from the sontk side of the canyon thus far discovered represent 36 species, distributed among 28 genera.

TO SAINT I Ult HUSBAND.? fi| ^ AI (he little halting vllluge of 9 5 I'louumnuch. or the clan of the 3 j 9 uiouks, In Brittany, Is a re- ?' <;> markable shrine or oratory 6 Mumling on u rock out in the X o tiny which u, at every tide, 9 3 completely surrounded by the a 0 waves. The oratory is very 9 3 old and contains u wooden lin- X V age of the mulut of the vllluge, 9 3 St. Klrec, which appears to be 5 9 uiuch worn and plnholed. This ? 3 Is due to the fact thut every 3 9 unmarried girl in the vicinity S 0 believes thut by sticking a pin 3 9 Into tlie body or fuce o# the X 6 statue she will obtain ber de- 9 3 aire. Should the sul?t shake x 9 herself free from the [>lo dur- 9 i 3 lug the ulght, It Is token X ; 9 that she has heard the pruyera 9 A offered and will find a husband 3 j v for the girl who pricked her. 9 At another shrine erected at 9; A a wishing well the saint la be- A 9 lleved to have the power of v A granting the wisher marriage fi v within twelve months, and many g A are the pins dropped into the a X well by the girls of the neigh- g a borhood.

A healthy nail has a rosy pink color, Is smooth, free from ridges and glossy. The nail root Is delicate and Is easily Injured by poisons in the blood stream or by injuries to the nerves. A bluish tinge In the nail suggests heart disturbance or poor circulation. Doctor Tobias says. A white anemic nail may mean Impoverished blood. Dull and brittle nails Indicate a lack of oil In the skin. Jrregulnr, rough or dwarfed nails may be caused by syphilis, ringworm or chronic akin disease. If sores or ulcers about the nail are slow in healing, one should consult a physician. How Leap Year Comet A year Is not are arbitrary period - quired for the enrth to make one circuit of Its orbit around tlie sun. The time actually required for this circuit IS not 300 days, but 860 days 0 hours 48 minutes and 40 seconds. By adding a day every fourth year, we take care of these excess hours. But In the course of a century ws have add ed almost a day too much, The years divisible by 100 are therefore not leap years, except when they are also dlvlelble by 400. Thus 1000 was not a leap year but 2CX) will be. All this Is In accordance with the calendar arrangement worked out by astronomers under the patronage of Pope Gregory J. XIII about 1582. How Logs Are Salvaged Minnesota lumbermen are realizing profits from the wasteful methods of their predscessors, In salvagtng logs that long have been untjpr the waters i- of woodland lakes tn the old timber districts. ~ Millions of 18 and 90-foot cuts, entire rafts and other timbers In an excellent state of preservation, have been I pulled from the lakes with big cranes and cat Into boards, gays Popular Mechanics Magazine. Much of the wood ft ot superior qualityv and It does npt warp like green timber. More than 8,500,000 feet of lumber was taken from one ^ lake last year. How Braail Got Its Name Brazil originally took Its name from the f?ct that a very hard wood of reddish color grew there In great abundance. So brilliant Is this wood when a log ts split that the Portuguese gave It the name of braza. which means live coal. In speaking of this country the Portuguese often referred to It as the place of the live coal wood, and gradually the word Brasll came Into general use.
