War Tank*. “Innards”
Generally speaking, the major part
of the Inside of a war tank Is taken
up by the engine or motor. There It
enough room at the sides of the motor
to let the mechanic get around for ad
Juslment. In front there Is space foi
the driver. In front of the driver Is
either a machine gun or a light six
pounder gun which shoots through a
port In the armor. The machine gun
Is usually mounted In a sort of tower
which cnn he moved so as to give an
all-around fire. There nrc
Additional guns with ports on either
side of the tank.
Old Churches Put to
Variety of Purpose*
The oldest English social hiLtflution
Is the parish vestry. It Is a descend
ant of I lie trlbnl council of most prim
itive human establishment, combined
with the nearly as old Institution of
religion. This body of persons In
trusted with (lie administration of the
temporal affairs of a parish was so
called from the former custom of
holding parish meetings In tho vestry
of the church. In undent England
vestries regulated all parochial affairs,
ecclesiastical or civil. Indeed, the
parish church of (he Fourteenth eon
tury was the common hall, sometimes;
the common market place and theater
of its district. When the Most and
portable altar were removed the
church would he employed for all pur
poses. A landowner who found he
had more wool or grain than he could
take care of on Ids own premises
could store It, In the church simply
by paying a small fee to the parson.
Even I lie tower of the church was
used. Especially In (lie more excised
districts near the sen, It was n place
of refuge, the ensile of the Inhabi
tants. —Detroit News.
Anti' Fire Brigade
Who are the tire fighters of the In
sect world?
Tests carried, out by a French wom
an scientist, Mine. Marguerite Combes,
have proved that red ants organize
themselves into lire brigades nnd are
able to extinguish flame by the appli
cation of formic acid.
When Mine. Combes placed n light
ed cigarette on an ant bill, the nlarm
was given Immediately, nnd the Insect
firemen set about their task success
fully. The experiment was repeated
several times with (lie same result,
and a lighted taper was also extin
guished. Finally a lighted candle was
used, and this was put out In nbout
a minute.
When ants were In danger of burn
ing, they were dragged to safety by
their companions.
Duties of Party “Whips”
Party whips are of recent Introduc
tion Into the congress of the United
States. The office has long been In ex
istence in the British parliament. The
duties of whips are (1) to Inform the
leader of the stnte of party opinion,
(2) to count the vote In every division
and report the results to the speaker,
CD to Inform members when Impor
tant divisions nre expected nnd detain
them until division occurs and (4)
to tell members how to vote. The gov
ernment whip must also “keep a
bouse,” or quorum, when government
business Is transacted.
Forbidden Fun
A Chinese boy of fourteen, accord
ing to the North China Herald, was
Involved In an automobile accident,
witnessed the death of a pedestrian
during a police battle with kidnap
ers, and was himself kidnaped and
held for two hours. He was on his
way to school when all this happened
and, arriving finally, he apologized to
the teacher for being tardy.
Like any normal boy, he realised
that under no circumstances should
mere adventures and pleasure inter
fere with his education.
Hard to Find ,
He was very old. but passionately
attached to the royal and ancient
game. The more he played, however,
the more inaccurate became his
strokes, and his play generally was
worse and worse as time went on.
Finally, after missing the ball 18
times in succession on one occasion,
ite turned to the patient caddie and
■ •'marked:
‘Dear, dear I I suppose there can’t
tie any worse players than myself.”
“Well,” returned the caddie consol
ingly, “Ihere may be worse players,
but, of course, they don’t play."
Odd Divorce Customs
Found Among Malay*
There Is n peculiar Muluy tribe In
Sumatra, numbering only a few hun
dred persons, who spend their entire
lives on the water, a small.beat being
their lifelong home. The,stern of the
craft has the rudest kind of a shelter,
while amidships there Is an arrange
ment of stone on which a tiro Is built.
Forward there are baskets and other
means of carrying llsh and other com
modities which these persons gnther
and trade. They have no laws or or
ganization, but they hnve rather defi
nite Ideas of marriage and divorce.
The lovelorn man, meeting the girl of
Ids choice, asks her parents. If found
to he agreeable the youth has to pay
down 12 Dutch dollars (equal to RO
guilders); that Is, if he Is able Vo. But
he also may purchase on the Install
ment (dan and make time payments.
But In tills case he cannot get a di
vorce unless the full amount Is paid
to the wife. The pair then go through
a ceremony. If the husband wants n
divorce, then he loses the 30 guilders
paid, hut if the wife wants to get di
vorced, then she must pay 120 guild
ers to the husband, which she will he
able to do only In the rarest cases.
If the man gets his divorce, then he
may decide whether the children must
go with him or whether they may re
main with the mother; If the wife ob
tains a divorce and has paid the 120
guilders, then the children may choose
for themselves.
