Polite Shoe Salesman—Yes, mad am. And what kind would you pre fer? Lady~-I want them good and stout. Clerk—Here is a strong shoe that will give excellent wear. It has been worn a lot this season— Lady—Why, man, I don’t want any | shoes that have been worn this sea son or any season. I want a brand new pair! Life Saver A member of a club had the habit of partaking of his soup in a noisy and boisterous fashion. The noise upset the other members, but they were too courteous to protest. One day, however, when the of fensive sounds were at fortissimo, a young and nerveless member strode toward the culprit and said: “May I help you?” “Help!” retorted the diner. “I don’t need any help.” “Sorry, sir,” said the youngster. “I thought perhaps you might wish to be dragged ashore.” BIG PROFITS Summer Boarder—What’s making all that noise? Surely you are not running a thrashing machine at this time of the year. The Farmer—No, the boys are figuring up the profits from our boarders on our new rapid calculat ing machine. Wanted a Start “Give me a start!” begged the auctioneer. “I have here a genuine Queen Anne sideboard, the only piece of its kind known to the world. Give me a start!” “Ten cents!” said some one oblig i ingly. The auctioneer nearly fell from the rostrum. “I asked for a start,” j he said contemptuously, i “Well, you got it, didn’t you?” Real Husbandry j Sandy—Here’s a ticket to the ma- I gician’s show tonight, Maggie. Maggie—Thank ye, Sandy. Sandy—And Maggie, dear, when | he comes to that trick where he I takes a teaspoon o’ flour and one egg and makes 20 omelets, watch i very close. Customer Is Right Bride (buying stove)—Please, sir, I I’d like a little oven. Salesman (accommodatingly)—Er —pardon me; but not while your husband’s along. Simple Matter “Pardon me, but does this train stop at Tenth street?” “Yes; watch me and get off at the station before I do.” “Thank you.” Needs Pep “You sold me a car two weeks ago.” “Yes, sir.” “Tell me again all you said about it then. I’m getting discouraged.” IMPORTANT WORK “What are the principal activities of the official position Jones occu pies?” “Those involved in holding on to | it.” Doctor Is Certain Patient—Doctor, are you sure this is pneumonia? Sometimes doctors prescribe for pneumonia and the pa tients die of something else. M. D. (with dignity)—When I pre i scribe for pneumonia, you die of ! pneumonia. Overhead Expenses Husband (looking over household accounts) —“What is this item of $3 for overhead expenses?” Wife— “Oh, that’s a new umbrella I bought, , dear. I left my old one on a bus.” Hollywood Movie ‘Blizzards* The problem of making real-look ing artificial snow storms stumped Hollywood two decades ago. When ! stories called for snow scenes, di rectors and stars were compelled to brave the bitter cold of moun tain locations, and the studios the tremendous expenses of transpor tation. Ed Miller, president of the Miller Cereal Mills of Omaha, Neb., set out to make corn snow that would photograph just like the real j article. He tinkered with his ma chinery and had a generous supply within a week. But the first batch j didn’t prove satisfactory. He kept plugging at the problem and before long had turned out flakes so soft j and feathery that only 50 pounds could be packed in one four- I foot bag. U. S. Teaches Scientific Farming On the theory that education is the best tool to combat farm fail ! ures resulting from poor farming and mismanagement, the federal ; government has undertaken a pro gram of education in scientific farm ing for youths of needy farm fami lies. This is the second year that the Farm Security administration, together with the National Youth ad minstration has conducted a train ing course of 16 weeks for future farmers on the site adjacent to the / campus of the Pennsylvania Stale college. The course includes build -1 ing construction, landscaping, road ways, and forging, or machinery re pair. They receive $lO a month, plus room and board and medical 1 care. Screen Fare Taken Seriously if you don’t think the genera] pub lic-meaning about 88 per cent of those 88,000,000 people popularly supposed to attend the movies every week—don’t take their screen fare seriously, take another guess. A storm of protest came from all over the country when a teen-age actor brought home his girl at the break of dawn. A running gag in one pic ture had one of the players under the perpetual influence of pin-mar ble gambling. This brought a protest by fans who thought it encouraged gambling.

Gardenia Queen Chooses Chevrolet Pretty Martha Mitchell, Queen of the Gardenia Festival at the famous Cypress Gardens in Florida, has just put her royal seal of approval on the Chevrolet Convertible Cabriolet —the outdoor car—by purchasing a new one for her own use. Ever willing to oblige by posing for the hundreds of camera fans who consider the Gardens a mecca for picture-taking, Queen Martha can now reach location quickly and flood herself with sunshine by rolling back the vacuum-operated top at the touch of a dash button. I Houses Painted Light, Coolest Of definite interest to home own ers who are planning to repaint the exteriors of their homes are the re sults of a research program just conducted by the Bureau of Stand ards. I Making a study of protection | against summer heat, the bureau [ has just announced that panels cov , ered with white paint are coolest | and those covered with lampblack ! are the warmest when exposed to j the sun. Their tests reveal that other colors, in the protection 1 against solar heat, are intermediate 1 between white and black. I The bureau points out that any I dark paint will absorb almost as J much of the sun’s radiation as black and will increase the temperature markedly. Walls covered with light tints of paint were found to be only slightly warmer than those covered with white paints. 80,000,000 Ton Steel About 80,000,000 tons of American steel will be used this year in de fense production, and another 12,000,- 000 tons will be shipped abroad— i leaving 60,000,000-odd tons for do | mestic civilian use. The American Iron and Steel Institute says this ' should be plenty; domestic steel ' consumption in the record year of j 1929 was only 57,500,000 tuns. Normally almost two-tenths of 1 our steel production goes into motor I cars, more than one-tenth goes into ■ buildings and highways, a tenth ! each goes to the railroad and into containers of all sizes from tin cans | to steel drums. The other half goes to machinery j and tool makers, to miscellaneous | manufacturers including airplane i builders, to munitions factories, to ,! shipbuilders. Good Polishes There are good commercial pnl ■ ishes on the market for silver, brass, ■ copper and pewter. Keep these to gether in a handy basket or box ! with one set of soft cloths for apply ■ ing the polishes and another set of clean ones for actual polishing pur poses. Rubber gloves protect the ! hands when using liquid polishes, and old cotton gloves should bo kept for use with dry pastes and polishes. Keep a bar of silver soap near thfe sink, and use it for rubbing off egg stains or other discolorations as they occur. If flat silver used daily is looked over as it is washed, and stains immediately removed, it sel dom becomes necessary to clean all [ the flat silver at one time. Then only those pieces which have not | been in daily use will need routine ■ polishing. Abusing Use of Bromides Dangerous, Says Doctor Don’t lake a bromide unless jvc. do it on the order of your physkiam. That is the advice of Dr. Wißfsm K. Keller, assistant professor psychiatry, University of Louisvf/lt and head of the psychopathic ! partment at the city hospital. He has seen too many patient brought to the psychopathic yiv.Tt. who are suffering from bromide m toxication. The extreme case* art subject to most unpleasant hallu cinations. Bromide intoxication is not a mk discovery, Dr. Keller pointed out. but because of frequency of cases; of such intoxication it is “worth while to emphasize the potential i danger in the use of bromides.’' “The bromide is a mild sedative and under the direction of a phy sician can be used with impunity/' he continued. “But because erf it* mildness its use is abused by Dfivt patient who attempts to doctor him self.” Dr. Keller referred particu larly to the individual who staptr. frequently at the drug store .*» dose of bromide “to settle dust, | nerves.” “I would not recommend the nsm:' | of bromides to get over a h&asq*- I over,” Dr. Keller added. Early symptoms, according ta -srS*- psychiatrist, are exaggerations uff; the sedative effect —slowness- «#i thought, speech and action, wvsulfe— ness and drowsiness. Then follow insomnia and inntir bility. There may or may not be »» skin rash. Food is refused as weit as fluids. If the bromide'ij d&’sajfj-e is continued the subject’s pupaiL ■ I come dilated, his motions Irmntt lous, his memory goes bad. fee ar; disorientated, depressed and jkoilv ably will have fearful delusions. ißt* may even die. Smoked Turkey Becomes New Aid to Farm Saleart More and more foods are Itoa®; brought into the smoked foods cii saar. Unlike those of other years were thoroughly treated witfo aim,■»£»«• to produce a strong flavor. swmkkvßi delicacies now receive only «tt> smoking to add a delicate, poat&’rKif taste which appeals to the and gives variety to menus. Sbawr; of the newer smoked foods iocfm'k turkey, cheese, game and oysiesne-i. A novelty food new on some maci"- kets this year is good-quality An,«rr ican cheese flavored by over a hickory fire. Smoked tor&ir.v is another of the popular smviAtariS foods. For years it was a aaont? delicacy cured by secret mviwer known only to a few producers, mtsl it sold at fancy prices. RecenteWr- , however, scientists have studied Sivvr process of curing and smoking' Paw keys as a means of helping: 'rt* farmer dispose of his surplus- tear keys. Turkeys of 18 to 25 fmem&fz —too large to roast in a nadlorm home oven—are the best for ssssuifc ing because the meat does amt #*■>/ out as it does on smaller WtMtsj. Smoked turkey is now taking' rjr-; ' place in appetizers, fillings lor s«tiiui wiches, and hot cooked meat dii-fons-, especially in hotels and restaurcrate*. No Fibbing Now, Girls T Taking its cue from a naticaaawSfe;? advertised cigarette whid» tised “It’s nice to be looTarH bhdt bd is better to know," bho' Ste'alfirte Transit company is going le ksvem/ henceforth whether the boy ®nr 1 boarding a trolley or bus and laa«&- ing the conductor a reduced taanz token is entitled to the mwtadtfMßa.
