WHY
Eight Cavities in thf Head Give
Mu$h Trouble.
There are eight cavities that communicate
through' amull openings with
the Interior of the nose, wrote Doctor
Phillips, according to the Literary Digest.
;
The largest sinuses?-the antrum*?
occupy the hollow spaces of the cheekbones;
the next in *i&e. the frontal
^ sinuses, are ttiiOVe and between ths
eyes. On either side of the nasal
chambers, on the way backward toward
your throat, are the ethmoid sinuses,
while still farther back, near the bass
of the brain, are those known as ths
sphenoid sinuses ...
These sinus cavities, have much to
do with the character or resonance of
your voice, just aft the sounding-board
of a musical Instrument modulates and
Influences the Quality of Its tone. Thef
also lighten the weight of your skuIV
and create resilience
Why, then, If the sinuses are so us*
ful and necessary, can they cause m
much misery? Normally they do notj
only when they are Attacked by disease
do they become troublesome.
Why Any Dog Insists on
Burying Its Old Bonss
Probably the well-fed dog of today
who takes the trouble to bury a muchgnawed
bone, or scraps from his meals,
doesn't know why he does it, observes s
writer In the Washington Post. For it
Isn't a reasoning action?the domestic
dog should know that his mnster will
take care of his food needs and that he
doesn't have to provide for a possible
lean future.
The bone-hiding pooch Is In the grip
of the past. Instinct developed over
centuries hy his wild ancestors, who
had to hide their food supply to Insure
future meals, motivates his act.
Why It's "Age of Scionco"
All our modern conveniences are
the result of scientific research and application.
One writer says: "All the
qualities which are essential for the
happiness of Individuals living In large
groups for the progress and well-being
of the race as a whole result from the
cardlnnl, principles of science." Among
the most Important scientific Inventloni
of recent time may be mentioned the
electric light, telephone, telegraph, radio,
motion pictures, automobile, electric
refrigeration and air conditioning.
* Why "Col." Sounds Like "Kor"
The word "Col." Sounds like "Ker"
because the word In former tlmei
was spelled "coronel." having bad thai
spelling In the French aAd Spanish
languages at the time It was adopted
Into English. It wns also formerly pronounced
"kuronel" nnd "kornel." but
about 1800 the present pronunciation
became the standard. The "r" sound
remained, nlrhougb tn the meantlmi
it had become the custom to spell thi
word ns it Is now.?Cleveland Plals
Dealer.
Why an Egg Is Bad
A bad egg Is bad because It hsi
digested Itself. The bureau of chen>
istry In Washington says that egg!
spol 1 because of an enzyme? a substance
In living matter which produce!
chemical changes. This enzyme Is ths
one that helps digest protein foods In
human bodies. Presumably, It does ths
same thing In the egg white, and ths!
egg becomes addled.
Why U. S. U OuUt-nding
The United 8t#i? In considered on?
of the outstanding countries of ths
world by virtue of ltd area, population,
wealth, It* form of government, lt?
high standard of living, its buslnesi
and commercial developments. ths
large number of Inventions and sot*
entitle discoveries attributed to It.
Why We Refer to Calender*
We refer to calendars to tlnd what
date It Is because the Romans gave ths
name of "calends" to the tlrst day of
each month, and It Is from this word
we get our modern term. The "cab
ends" or "kalends." as they were some,
times called, were also a method of distributing
time.
Why Taxaa Is "Lono Star" Stat#
The reason Texas was given the
name "Lone Star" state was because
of the fact that Texas was an Independent
nation for ten years before
her annexation to the United 8tates In
1845. The flag of the Texas republic
'with the lone stur has remained as ths
state flag of Texas.
Why Court It "Old Balloy"
The name "Old Bailey" Is given to
the London Criminal court because It
was the bailiwick or district over
which a bailiff had Jurisdiction. The
present court is not upon the exact
spot of the old court, to which formerly
the prison was attached.
Whr Tinkor'o Dam la Worthless
A tinker's dam Is worthless because
the clay used by a plumber to make
a dam to hold the melted solder until
It cools Is thrown asvay after It has
served its purpose, as It cannot be used
a second time.
Why They Aro Camel Hair Brushes
The term camel hair Is used because
such brushes were originally made of
camel hair. When the term became
fixed, It continued to be used even
though other types of hair came to be
employed.
Why Officials Do Not Succosd
At the time of the passage of the act
of succession, 1880, the office of secretary
of commerce was not In existence.
Consequently, the secretaries of
Commerce, Labor and Agriculture were
not named In the act.
cv
Why China Isn't World Powsr
China Is a country torn by constant
civil war. The people live amid poverty
and pestilence dominated by selfseeking
politicians. In an effort to
make China an up-to-date nation, her
leaders overlook the fact that the enforcement
of modern laws Is Impossible
without the necessnry operating machinery
and the administration of
trained Individuals. The Nanking government
control Is limited to a very
small section. Nationwide transportation
facilities are Inadequate. There Is
no universally spoken langunge, and
bandit activities flourish. China can
scarcely become a world power under
these conditions.

' Why Uagiv
The Hauseatlc league was a confederacy
of certain cities of northern Hermany
for mutual protection, especially
In matters of commerce, for the extension
of trade and of rights and 1m
*ibuultles received from sovereigns
Which hud suffered curtailment. The
union was formed In the Thirteenth
' century, at a time when ecu and land
swarmed with pirates and robbers, and
German trade, no longer guarded by
-the privileges of armed attendants, was
exposed to many dangers, while the
government had degenerated Into
shower for extorting: taxes without glv*
At* protection. The brut alliances
Ignown to have been concluded are
those between Huuiburg and jA>becfc?
In 1241 and 1255.

Why ||'s Called "White Hou.e"
The home of the President In WashIhgton
has not always been known as
the White House. Before the war o 1
1812, It was culled the "President's
Palace." It was painted a dark brown
color during that period. During the
war, the British army that captured
Washington tried to burn the President's
home. In repairing It afterward,
It was painted white to cover the
marks of the fire on the outside walla
That is how It come to be known as
the "White House."?Capper's Weekly.

Why Blind Priests Are Used
The minaret is a prayer tower. It
was first built In the Eighth century.
There Is at least one minaret to every
mosque. In a book by a distinguished
English etcher the comment Is made
that in Persia many of the muezzins
who sound the call to prayer from the
minarets are blind. The blind are
chosen in order that they may not overlook
the family life, as It Is lived on
the flat roofs of nearby homes.
Capitol Was So Built
L A fear was expressed by President j
' Washington that if the legislative and
' executive branches were too close, they
might possibly encroach upon each
| other's time. He advised that the con
gresslodal buildings should be at least
a mile from the Executive Mansion. This
was before the days of either tele
I graph, telephone or automobiles.

Snakes are pructlcully non-existent

before* their time.
