American Legion Auxil_v iary will distribute here on 1 oppy | Day." May 20th, have been a means of providing employment to hundreds of di tabled World war. veterans through winter and spring months, according t<> Mrs. Leon Schloshurg, ^re.-idi nt of the local auxiliary unit, j The little led llowcrs have made possible earning.-, of approximately $100,000 for those disabled men, she st ated. "Making of the paper poppies which the American Legion Auxiliary offers on "Poppy lhiy, to he worn in honor of the World war dead is reserved strictly for the war disabled," Mrs. SchlQsburg explained. "It offers a means of employment to veterans unable to do other work and Pot only brings them money for the support of themselves and families, but aids in their rehabilitation by giving them beneficial interesting work. "The poppies are made in government hospitals and in special poppy workrooms maintained by the Auxiliary. This year 58 different poppy making centers have been in operation in 10 states. Lmployment is restricted to men unable to do work of other types and preference is given those with families to support. The paper poppy is used exclusively by the Auxiliary because its making is a hand rather than machine procesa. "The best of working conditions are, of course, provided for the disabled men employed in the poppy project. The number of poppies that a man can make in one day is restricted in order that the workers will not tax their strength. The work is directed in such a manner that it will aid in the physical and mental rehabilitation of the veterans, hs well as giving thorn financial benefit.*. The money contributed for the poppies pays the wngeS'of the jH>ppymakers ami helps support the Legion i and Auxiliary's activities for the welfare of the disabled veterans ami depi mli nt families." ... 1 Do Yon Know That I-. lifivth- following April l.i l'.'

Mnny geniuses have willed their brains to medical science. Turgcncv, the Russian novelist, had one of the largest brains on record. It weighed more than four pounds. However, the size of the head Is not an accurate measure of the Intelligence, for one of the two brains that exceeded his In weight was that of an Imbecile.

How Cat Always Alights on Feet When It Falls 1 A cat which falls or springs froiu a height, great or small, always manages to fall on Its feet. That we-all know. This wonderful feat Is made possible by the way the muscles of the cat are arranged, and the quickness of the cat's Instinct for bringing them Into plav. No matter how a cat fs dropped. It Is able to turn over In the air; it can so twist itself I bat its feet shall come in contact with the ground. Hut the cat inusf.be in health and vigor, or the feat cannot he performed. Scientists say that If men could master the secret of the cat they also would he able to alight on their feet when falling. There Is no reason why human muscles should not tie as effective as the cat's. Many have seen men dive head foremost from a trapeze, turn somersaults In the air, and land safely. Others vault over the backs of horses, whirling round In mid-air as they go, yet dropping safely on their feet. The secret seems to be the quick working of the mind; at any rate, scientists state that the ordinary man would have power to do as the cat does If he made up hla mind quickly enough. Cats are the superiors of ordinary man in this and one can only wonder at the unerring grace and accuracy with which they come safely to earth.?Montreal Hernld.

Geltle, a wealthy California oil man, was kidnaped from his estate near Los Angeles yesterday by two men who drove off with him. He was entertaining ten men at his home and when they all went to the house from a swimming pool, he and one guest stopped at a summer house on the grounds to put on their shirts and trousers. Thus they were held up by two men with pistols. The other man was gagged and bound to a tree, and Gettle was taken across the large grounds, put over an eightfoot wall, and carried off in an automobile, before his wife and guests began to look for him.
