Should you be walking down the street, and suddenly espy your grocer coming up the street, you must im mediately imagine that you have busig ness on the other side of the street aad jay-walk over, being careful to let on like you never saw him a-talh (You’re not trading with him now, of course.): - .—-— — 2. While out riding on a beautiful Sabbath afternoon, you see your doc tor coming down the road—the doctor that- attended you during -your last! ferent colors of knitted pajamas *' pneumonia, or your wife with some thing worse, as he approaches you and you approach him, you should lean over and make-like you are ad justing your universal joint near your right foot; don’t let him catch your eye. That’s the way I do. .-3. Always close your eyes in slum ber at church while the collection plate ia being shimmied under your nose. Salvation is free, you know—and preacher doesn’t eat or wear anything except salvation. If you want to dodge chipping in some other way, why, er, just stay at home and cuss the preacher and the hypocrites who go to church regularly. I use the former method. 4. Or, if your dry cleaner, or your newspaper delivery boy, presents you with a bill, face to face, before you have a chance to give him the slip, assure him that you have already paid the said bill twice, or that he will catch you again. Playing off “deef” might help you out of the dilemma; it has hope me out of a great many close places like that. l-.-If all the knitting factories in the country were to stay on a strike 2 years, my family wouldn't suffer for knit-things. We heve (besides clothes) knitted table covers, knitted scarfs, knitted sofa pillow covers, knitted caps, knitted hats, knitted cur tains and knitted everything. If I could charge off my knitting losses from year to year, I would never have to pay any income taxes from now onr ....Just as soon as ’’she”, meaning “her," finishes a dress for herself, she begins on one just like it for her un cle or aunt or cuzzin or somebody else. She is the fastest, safest, surest and- adeptest knitter that ever wielded a knitting needle or crochet hook. Par don me, please—(I have just removed a knitting needle from my chair, and 2 of the'same kind from under my typewriter.) And, by the way, friends: her knitted stuff is all pretty. I think, her old rose and cream and red and blqe and white dresses (which she knitted with her own. sweet-hands) are mu prettier than her pink or her grey or her green or her drab or her gun-metal dresses. Her bedroom slippers are all made to harmonize with the dif- usually wears to her bood-wire. .She doesn’t know how to play bridge or contract or whisk or 7-up or the or gan, therefore, she spend her leisure moments (?) in kfaitting profitably. She certainly has hope me a lot by knitting her clothes—and thus saved me from having to buy them without money. Stretchout System in the Kitchen. Our cook belongs to the A. O. C. D. B. U.: meaning—the “Amalgamat ed Order of Cooks and Dish Breakers Union." She operates under a green eagle supplied by her husband and other men friends, and is therefore protected by the N. R. A. We pay her according to the union scale. 8. The toughest guy in all file world to hide from or keep out of the "Way of itnydur filling station operator. I’ve used every kinr| of sleuthing to shake him off, but he simply won’t shake. When I cross the street, he crosses too; when I bend over to something in the bottom of the car, he meets me head-on, and I have to stop; when I tell him I’ve paid that Ml, he tells me I am lying. (N. B.— He usually weighs betwixt 210 and 250 in the shade.) Nope, you might as well pay for part of your gas; you’ll have to do so sooner or later. The union scale for cooks is as follows: 25 cents per hour when she werks; 25 cents per hour when she don’t work; time and half for the time used in sweeping out broken china ware, and scraping burnt toast; dou ble time plus over-time for toting ra tions heme, and two-thirds regular time while entertaining gentlemen friends in the kitchen or at the back or front door, as the case may be. We are planning to introduce the stretchout system in Hie kitchen ITRt will run that business in this manner: the cook will be required to wash dish es with her right hand, churn with her left hand—and scrub the floor with her right foot and rock the cradle with her left foot, and while this is go ing on, she will be polishing a pot hung near the sink—with her head. 6. Landlords are also pretty hard to avoid. Playing off sick will get you oat occasionally, not being at home will stall him off once or twice, but you can’t always prolong his agony, as he has a first, second and third lien on the installment furniture and in your house. Now when it to getting out of paying your water bill or your light bill or your I^UNie bill, o ryour gas bid, that’s the impossible. They not only have the law and judges on their side, they have the monkey-wrenches, plyers. and fuse Mowers. The only fellow that ever skipped one of these bills died before the 10th of the month. mmmmmmmmmmrn Hey, Don’t Wallow on My Knitting! ....My home is a veritable knitting auH.

While she is talking on the phone to her sweetie, she* must leave at least 4 gas jets burining in high, 3 electric range switches on, no water in the coffee pot, and the back door wide open so’s the house will get cold ell over. We stopped her from throw ing the silver-ware at stray cats and dogs; she now uses cups and saucers and plates. She hasn’t busted but 5 roup dishes since day before yester day. A When we told her that she cook ed too much, that lots of the food was wasted, she explained that none of it was wasted, as she took it all home with her after meals. She’s a delicate ton, silk or rayon thread. Every third check that my banker turns down is Aa soon as I enter the front door, 1 y^oung woman.

Virgin lalnnda InchkU fiomeroua Small Islands The Virgin group comprises a large number of email Islands—only a few of them of any considerable impor tance—lying to the east of Porto Rico between the Caribbean and the Atlantic ocean. They include not only those which the Unlced States bought from Denmark, and which were for merly known as the Danish Westln- dtea, but also a number which consti tute a British colony called the Virgin islands. Columbus discovered the group on his second voyage In 1484. It Is said he was amazed at the number of them, and feared be would not have enough saints’ name? to go round— so he put them under the sacred pa tronage of the 11,000 martyred virgins of St Ursula. Danish traders early established themselves on St. Thomas, and by a sort of squatter sovereignty the island was taken under Danish administra tion In 1671. St John and St Croix and smaller Islands were added in 1733. The British, meanwhile, appro priated the rest of the group. In 1867-68 Hie American State de partment sought to buy the Danish Islands. Denmark wag witling to sett, and the islanders were eager for the transfer, but the United States senate refused to ratify. In 1002 a second treaty was signed, and the United States was to have the Islands for $5.- 000,ObO; but the Danish' upper bouse did not ratify. • In 1017 the transfer was finally effected, this country pay ing 325,000.000.

Sea Lion Is Wary of Man and Hard to Photograph Living in the wlltf, reef-protected waters off the coast of British Colum- Mav-the sea lion is extremely wary of man and is practically impossible to photograph at close range. The males are from 11 to 13 feet in length, girth 8 to 10 feet, weight from 800 to 2.200 pounds Females are from fi-ta lQ feet In length, average 500 to 800 pounds. The species hunted, sa.vs the Montreal Herald, is the Steller’s or gray sea lion, first noted by a Russian of that name who accompanied Vitus Bering on his Ill-fated voyage In 1740. They dwell on the Virgin islands, rocky bare reefs rising Just a little above the sea level, lying In a trian gular-shaped territory of about G5 miles off the coast of British Columbia. Here they rest, breed and have their young, two pups being born to each female about the middle of June. Enormous as are these beasts, they are inoffensive, and from them the at tacking machine-gunners and riflemen have little to fear. Only the stormy mother sea strives her best to save her children from these men who "ive no mercy! The Virgin islands He In most dangerous uncharted waters, swept hy the north PhHH£.

Maurice De- kobra, the French love-story writer, and during his visit in China he has been telling the men how to show their devoted affection. Because the men do not make love properly, he says, the Chinese women are hard and -untamed. He likens them to “attrac tive panthers.” They are full of the fighting spirit, quick at repartee and very ready to challenge their menfolk. That, says M. Dekobra. shows the wrong spirit. As lovers the men tack Imagination, romance and sentimen tality. They make no attempt to un derstand women and neglect them after marriage. Moreover, they con . aider It undignified to be jealous—and jealousy Is necessary to true love, de clares Dekobra. Radios ia Rickshas Shanghai, China, is the city where East meets West and a queer combi nation of ancient oriental customs and the latest modern fads are part of the everyday life of the city. Ona of the latest is the installation of radio sets In the jinrickshas which are the prin cipal means of transportation of the city. The two-wheeled, man-drawn vehicles have been used for hundreds of years by the wealthier classes of Chinese. The narrow, wall-lined streets of the native quarter make any other form of transportation impos sible. In China, with its more than 400,000,000 population, man power Is the cheapest in the world. It is an incongruous sight to see a coolie haul ing his passenger in his ricksha and listening to the strains of a modern dance band. Positive Relief (er MALARIA!
