Lot;", Distance Ice
Bark in 1805 when there weren’t
Ice-making machines or electric re
frigerators, Frederick Tudor of
Saugus, Mass., had an idea. He’d
fte a long-distance ice man. Ice in 1
the tropics, he figured, would be un-
Bsual—in fact it would be gold in
Ms pockets. From this Massachu
setts town he shipped ice to the
■West Indies. Tudor personally ac
companied the first shipment to the
Island of Martinique. He was richly
rewarded and made many later con
signments.
Bat Diet for Eyes
Long life and good eyesight were
insured by the eating of bats, ac

Magazine, that bats fly with their

are so Heavy-
Odd Monuments
At Enterprise, Ala., there is a I
monument to the boll weevil; in
New York city one is erected to an I
amiable child, and at Mont St. I
Michel, Brittany, there is one com- |
iroamorating an omelet. At Little
Ctorepton, R. 1., there is a monu
ment to a hen; at Winnipeg there
w a monolith to wheat, and at Llan-
Aadno, Wales, there is a statue of
IMr famous white rabbit.

work of pipe lines already provides for

Only the Southeast—a strategically
important section though it is—has no
pipe lines as yet.
However, a pipe lino is planned to run
from Port St. Joe, FLrida, across
. .. rr. , . _
Georgia to the Tennessee line. One of
this lino’s many functions would be
to serve three great military centers
of the Southeast—Fort Denning, Fort
Oglethorpe, and Fort McPherson, in
addition to other training camps, air
bases and supply centers under con-
struction or proposed for Pdbb, Clay-
ton, DcKalb, Dougherty, Fulton and

In the Eighteenth century, in

Old Gotrocks is rich and stingy.
In the event of his death his nephew
will inherit his property. A friend
of the family said to the old man:
“I hear your nephew is going to
marry. On that occasion you ought
to do something to make him hap
py.” ‘‘l will,” said Old Tightwad,
“I’ll pretend that I am dangerously
ill.”

ing with all that jam on your lips?
