PROMPT SERVICE
“Hang it, boy!” exclaimed the
guest, as the youthful assistant in
the Texas hotel came bouncing in on
him without knocking, ‘‘haven’t you
got any manners?”
“Didn't you ring?” asked the boy.
“Of course I rang,”
“Didn’t you ring three times?”
“It may have been three, as I
was in a hurry for shaving water,
but that doesn’t excuse you for
bursting in the door.”
“I’m sorry,” replied the boy as he
backed out, “but it’s one ring for
the porter, two for the boy, and
three for a gun, and when a guest
rirrgs for a gun in this hotel, the or
ders are to get it to him before the
other fellow can apologize!”-
Foolish Questions
The lawyer became somewhat
nettled in his cross-examination, but
the insignificant-looking little wom
an in the witness-box didn’t.
He snapped: “You say you had
no education, but you answered my
questions smartly enough.”
The witness replied meekly: “You
don’t have to be a scholar to answer
silly questions.”
FAST TRAIN
jjtoj
Traveler—-Is this the fastest train
on this road?
Conductor—Yes, ma’am. It’s the
limited.
Traveler Well, the company
ought to raise the limit.
He Can’t Win
A farmer who seemed to enjoy
grumbling, had an extra fine crop of
potatoes.
“Well, for once you must be
pleased,” said a neighbor. “Every
one is talking about your fine pota
toes this year.”
“They’re pretty good,” admitted
the man grudgingly, “but where are
the bad ones for the pigs?”
Cocoanuts Different
Father—lf I had four cocoanuts
and I gave you two, how many
would I have left?
Son—l don’t know.
Father—Why don’t you know?
Son—Because in our school we do
all our arithmetic in oranges.
Fortunate Accident
Tommy had fallen and upset a
dish of prunes. Picking himself up,
he observed: “That’s lucky!”
“Lucky?” demanded his mother.
“What’s lucky?”
“It’s lucky I don’t like prunes!”
Good Advice
“Where are some good places to
stop on this trip?” inquired the auto
ist at the tourist bureau.
“At the railroad crossings,” re
plied the clerk promptly.
Free at Last!
Secretary—Yes, Mr. Jones is at
liberty now.
Office Visitor—Oh, I didn’t even
know he’d been in jail.
BUY ALL MEANS
- » ' L
“Would you advise me to buy a
pair of skates, father, if—”
“If what?”
“If—er—if anyone should happen
to give me about three dollars.”
Not Responsible
Foreman—Hurry up there, Joe.
Joe—o. K., boss, but Rome wasn't
built in a day, you know.
Foreman —Maybe not, but I wasn't
foreman on that job.
How’d He Know?
She—Did anyone ever tell you
how wonderful you are?
j He—Don’t believe they ever did.
i She—Then where’d you get the
i idea?
‘Don’t Get Personal’
Repair Man—Where is your radi
ator cap?
Citizen—On the front end of the
car, but don’t call me “Cap.”
Lot of Difference
Mrs. Modern (calling to husband
upstairs)—Will you bring down my
hat, dear?
Husband—Well, I don’t know the
difference between your hat and J
your handbag. Which is which?
Mrs. Modern— The one without
any money in it is my hat, darling, j

j Window Now Decorative;
Not Just Functional Unit
Windows of a home are no longer
viewed only as functional units. To
day they are called upon to serve
important architectural and decora
tive uses as well.
Builders now are achieving inter
esting results by placing a promi
nent window to frame a tree in
the manner of a ‘‘living picture.”
Its changing pattern from spring to
fall and throughout the winter makes
for a scene that is always refresh
ing. Similarly pleasing effects are
obtained if the surrounding land
scape permits a view of a sweep of
river, a winding creek, or even a
broad expanse of rolling land.
Like so many other functional
parts of a modern small house, win
dows today have improved consid-
I erably in design and construction.
Wisely chosen window designs im
prove the exterior appearance of
the home and add cheer to the in
terior.
Among the wide variety of window
styles from which the home build
ers can select are double-hung win
dows having sash which move up
and down and casement windows
whose sash are hinged at the side
and open in or out.
Bay windows are available in
many sizes and attractive styles.
Dormer windows can be used to
lighten attics or bedrooms under the
1 roof. Where wall space is at a
premium the use of corner windows
is often found advantageous.
Careful thought should be given
the placing of the windows not only
I to obtain an attractive exterior ap
pearance but also to assure suffi
cient wall spaces in the living rooms
which will permit convenient place
ment of furniture. The glass afea
should be sufficient to insure good
light and ventilation in proportion to
the size and character of the room.
Keep Sneezes Six Feet.
Away, Advises Physician
If you have your friends’ health
at heart, you’ll be careful what
you’re saying when you sneeze in
their presence.
This was one of the conclusions
drawn from a lecture on colds
sneezing by Dr. Charles F. Mc-«
Khann, professor of pediatrics at the
University of Michigan, before the
Graduate Conference for Physicians
at Herman Kiefer hospital.
Illustrating the distance a sneeze
may travel, with photographic
slides, Dr. McKhann pointed out
that the distance depends on
whether it is a light sneeze or a
heavy one and also on what letters
or syllables are being pronounced at
the time.
Thus a person who happened to
be saying “Peter Piper picked . . .
etc.” at the very moment was seized
with a sneeze would undoubtedly
get the maximum carry, or close,
to six feet. That’s par..,
Dr. McKhann said it was there
fore advisable to stay away from
people who had colds or when you
had one—six feet or more.
Abrasive Injurious to Nickel
Never use an abrasive cleaner
on your shiny new nickel kitchen
and bathroom fixtures. Instead
wash them first with soap and wa
ter, then polish with whiting moist
ened with fine-quality household
ammonia. When a harsh abrasive
is used on nickel it eventually will
wear it off and after that cleaning
is an ever-present task. Whiting
made into a paste with household
ammonia will also remove egg
i stains from silver and is fine for
polishing mirrors. However, with
the latter it is very important to
avoid getting dampness on the back.
The best way to use the paste is to
coat the glass with it, then rub it
off and polish with a clean dry
cloth. This method can also be
used on the glass in pictures, taking
the same precaution against getting
j moisture on the back of the pic-
J ture.

Care of Children’s Teeth
Loss of even a single tooth with
out replacement can seriously af
fect the health and appearanpe of
high school children, according to
evidence obtained from an extensive
school survey reported in the Jour-
I nal of the American Dental Asso
i ciation. Dr. J. A. Salzmann of New
; York city describes the survey con
j ducted in New York vocational 1
I schools which included more than
j 10,000 boys and girls 15 to 19 years
of age. “Examination of the pu
pils,” Dr. Salzmann states, “has re
vealed conclusive evidence that
when a single tooth is filled by a
dentist, not only is this tooth saved,
but in addition the regularity of po
sition and appearance of all the •
teeth are maintained, and the ten-*
dency of teeth to decay is kept at
1 a low level.”

Old Settlement in Sweden 1
) Traces of human settlement dafc :
( ing back to 12,000 years ago have
been discovered in the Uddcvill*-
district of West Sweden by an arche
ologist who has been excavating an
cient remains there. He claims to
have found on Stadsfjallet, about 380
feet above sea level, stone age
dwelling sites with quartz and flint
I implements and fragments of the
: material used to make them. He
dates his discoveries to 10,300 B. C.,
when the whole of this district was
| under the sea and the high ground
1 which is now Stadsfjallet projected
I from the water. When the seas re-
I ceded, settlement began.
