a few sets of brisk tennis, a long
hike or a motor trip, than some
tasty, piquant tid bit.
It is on such occasions that culi¬
nary art most Justifies itself, and
with least effort. And on such oc¬
casions cheese, served merely as an
appetizing, extra or as the principal
ingredient In the main dish, Is one
of the foods that recommend them¬
selves to the discerning housewife.
Incidentally, Switzerland cheese Is
one of the most valuable of all food
products, for It Is far richer in pro¬
tein than eggs, or meat, and in that
very important Vitamine A so es¬
sential to human well being. The
old Idea that cheeBe is not readily
digestible la of course long since
exploded.
The following hot luncheon dishes
are easily and quickly made:

■pj-lEW If abundance persons of care meat for in the an
"gags? warm weather diet -- In
ilWI fact, it is becoming a popu¬
lar custom in many house¬
holds to omit this heavy protein
food entirely one or two days each
week, substituting for it a variety
of fresh vegetables, eggs and
cheese. Fortunately for the house¬
wife, who must select the foods and
prepare the meals- vegetables, eggs
and cheese combine In many
dishes perfectly, and make It easy ^
to provide one-piece dinners with
all of the essentials of a well bal¬
anced meal.
Switzerland cheese is not only so
delightfully piquant that It lends a
charming zest to the other foods,
but it is digestible and almost per¬
fect food In itself, being rich In
Vitamine A and containing a gen¬
erous content of protein.
The following oven dishes are all
easily prepared:

BRITTANY MAIDS APPEAL
TO SAINT FOR HUSBAND.—
At the little fishing village of
Plournunach, or the cl^n of the
monks, In Brittany, ia a re¬
markable shrine or oratory
standing on a rock- out ln 5 the
bay which is, at every tide,
completely surrounded by the
waves. The oratory U very
old and contains a wooden Im¬
age of the saint of the village,
St. Klrec, which appears to be
much worn and plnholed. This
is due to the fact that every
unmarried girl in the vicinity
believes that by sticking a pin
Into the body or face of the
statue she will obtain her de¬
sire. Should the saint shake
Herself free from the pin dur¬
ing the night, it is a token
that she has heard the prayers
offered and will find a husband
for the girl who pricked her.
At another shrine erected at
a wishing well the saint is be¬
lieved to have the power of
granting the wisher marriage
within twelve months, and many
are the pins dropped into the
well by the girls of the neigh
borhood. When the wish is
granted a spray of orange blos¬
som Is brought by the bride and
offered to the suint.
To compare the credulity of
the Breton peasant maid to that
of the superstitious English girl
Is unjust to both. Should the
English girl drop a pin Into a
wishing well she would slip
away lest her friends should
laugh at her, or would make
game of her own credulity. Te
the Breton, however, the act
la a religious observance, and
she has no thought in her mini
beyond a guileless trust In the
power of the saint.
At the shrine of St. Anne of
Ansay the pin-studded pedestal
at the foot of the wooden cal¬
vary shows the prevalence of a
simple belief. Here again the
Breton girl prays for what she
most desires and sticks a pin In¬
to the base of the calvtuy as
if to give the saint a token by
which she will remember her
prayers.—William G. Meredith

How NaiU of Finger*
Are Noted by Doctor
A physician can sometimes tell a*
much about your physical condition
from looking at your linger hails as
he can by faking your pulse or look
tug at your tongue, says Dr. Norman
Tobias In Hygeta Muguzine.
A healthy nail has a rosy pink col
or, is smooth, free from ridges ami
glossy. The nail root Is delicate and
Is easily Injured by poisons in tin
blood stream or by Injuries to tin
nerves. A bluish tinge In the null
suggesls heart disturbance or poor elr
culatlon, Doctor Tobias says. A white
anemic nail mny menu Impoverished
blood.
Dull and brittle nails Indicate a lack
of oil In the skin. Irregular, rough
or dwarfed nails may be caused b>
syphilis, ringworm or chronic skin
disease. If sores or ulcers about the
nail are slow in healing, one should
consult a physician.
How Leap Year Comes
A year Is not an arbitrary period
of time, but the approximate time re
quired for the ear li to make one dr
cult of Us orbit around the sun. Th<
time actually required for this circuit
Is not 365 days, hut 365 days 5 hours
48 minutes and 46 seconds. By ad
ding a day every fourth year, we take
care of these excess hours. But in
the course of a century we have add
ed almost a day too much. The years
divisible by tOO are therefore not
leap years, except when they are alse
divisible by 400. Thus 1900 was not
a leap year but 2000 will be. All this
Is in accordance with the calendar ar
rangement worked out by astronomers
under the patronage of Pope Gregor?
XIII about 1582.
How Log* Are Salvaged
Minnesota lumbermen are realizing
profits from the wasteful methods of
their predecessors, in salvaging logs
that long have been under the waters
of woodland lakes In the old timber
districts?
Millions of IS and 20-foot cuts, en
tire r^ifts and other timbers in au ex
ceilent state of preservation, have been
pulled from tjie lakes with big cranes
and cut Into boards, says Popular Me
chanlcs Magazine.
Much of the wood Is of superior
quality and It does not warp
green timber. More than
feet of lumber was taken from
take last year.
How Brazil Got It* Name
Brazil originally took its name
the fact that a very hard wood of red
dish color grew there in great abun
dance. So brilliant is this wood
a log Is split that the Portuguese
it the name of brasa, which
live coal.
In speak.ng of this country
Portuguese often referred to it as
place of the live coai wood, and

Livery Stables Blues
Sung by Kentucky Man
Lexington, Ky.—As an illustration of
the way the automobile has “killed"
the livery business in Kentucky, J. B.
Hamm, an old-time liveryman of Car¬
lisle, Ky„ forty miles east of here, re¬
lated his experience and also called
attention to the fact that Carlisle, a
town of nearly 3,000 population, now
has not a single horse and buggy for
hire,
Mr. Hamm, who has Just completed
hlg twenty-fifth year In the livery
business, stated that when he opened
his livery stable in Carlisle In March,
1903, there were five livery stables in
the town and all were doing a good
business, with about forty horses and
buggies, hacks and “fancy turnouts”
for hire. “Today there Is not a horse
nor buggy for hire In Carlisle.” he de¬
clared. While Mr. Hamm is still In the
livery business, he operates only a
hitching and feeding rack for an oc¬
casional countryman who comes to
town with his team to haul something
back to the farm, and the once pros¬
perous trade he enjoyed from hiring
buggies and horses has evoluted Into a
taxicab business, he says.
Why Hook Doesn’t Hurt FUh
There are very few nerves around
the mouth of a fish and consequently
It feels little pain when caught by a
hook. Tills Is proved by the fact that
often Hie same fish can be caught over
and over In the same day. The fact
Is. fish seem to feel very little pain In
any part of the body. They do, ol
course, feel some puln and discomfort
Why Called “Blue Lodge”
In Freemasonry a Blue lodge Is a
symbolic lodge In which the first
three degrees of Masonry are con¬
ferred. It Is so called from the color
of Its decorations. A Master Mason
is a Freemason who has been raised
to the third degree.—Exchange.

WHY=
Australia Is Comparatively
Free From Smallpox
How smallpox has been kept away
from Australia by the accident of her
being far away from the rest of the
world, is explained in a study of re¬
cent statistics of this disease pub
Ushed by the American Association
for Medical Progress, in New York
city, the Literary Digest reports. Dr.
E. E. Free explains in his Week’s
Science (New York):
“Smallpox usually requires about
twelve days to develop in the body of
a person who has been infected. This
gives time enough to travel between
Europe and America, for example, be¬
fore realizing that one has the dis¬
ease. Accordingly, smallpox passes
the usual quarantine barriers and has
spread throughout all the larger con
tinents. In Australia, however, the
long ship Journey between this con¬
tinent and other centers of popula¬
tion gives time for the infection to
appear on shipboard, to be recognized
and quarantined. This time-barrier
around the continent has operated,
the association states, to protect A ns
tralia very largely against this ex¬
tremely Infectious disease. For other
parts of the world, the association
urges, the only protection is compul¬
sory vaccination of the entire popu
iation. A statistical comparison
shows that In American states where
vaccination Is In any degree volun
I ary the smallpox cases between 1921
and 1926 averaged 102 for each 100
000 of population, while In states in
which compulsory vaccination is en¬
forced rigidly only between nine and
ten cases occurred In proportion to
the same population during the same
period."
Why Some Trades Give
Exemption From Ills
Tanneries and printing ink factories
confer exemption from tuberculosis
and employees In turpentine factories
never have rheumatism. Copper min¬
ing excludes the possibility of typhoid
among the workers. Shepherds enjoy
remarkable health. The odor of sheep
appears to exercise some influence
tending to the prevention of disease.
Sheep are said to be especially good
for whooping cough, so that in a sheep
country, when a child Is taken down
with that malady. It is the custom to
put it among sheep to play.
Men and women working In iaven
der, whether gathering or distilling it,
are said never to suffer from neu
ralgia or nervous headache, haven
der, however, Is as good as a sea
voyage for giving tone to the system.
I'ersons suffering from uervous break¬
down frequently give their services
gratis to lavender plants, in order
that they may build up their vitality.
Salt miners can wear summer
clothes In blizzard weather without
fear of catching colds, for colds are
unknown among these workers.
Why Elephants Obey
Permanent dens .’or "the cats"
(Hons, tigers, panthers, cougars, etc ),
the performing horses and the ele
phants are maintained in circus win
ter quarters. They are put through
their stunts every day. Green an!
tnuls are trained with experienced
beasts.
“It takes many hours’ practice ev¬
ery day from November to April to
train an elephant to stand on hit
head,” says a trainer. "At least 40
men are present to manage the net
work of ropes, pulleys and tackles
that are used to show the animal
what he is expected to do. The pu
pH trumpets and squeals, but sooner
or later he learns to associate the
command with the act enforced on
him at first by complicated appar¬
atus.”
Why Old Guns Are Liked
“The most fascinating marksman¬
ship of all Is that practiced with a
good, old-fashioned muzzle-loading
firearm,” according to one gun en¬
thusiast "An automatic, or even a
pump or lever gun, gives one a sur¬
feit of shots so that he soon loses
Ids appreciation of Individual hits.’’
this man said. “A muzzle louder, how¬
ever, forces one to make every shot
count, thus discouraging promiscuous
and careless shooting. There Is a
thrill of satisfaction in assembling
and loading every charge, ramming it
home, and fishing around for a mus¬
ket cap, that Is an enjoyable part of
shooting with these old guns.”
Why Called “Belladonna”
According to the historian Matthi
olas, Italian ladies in the Middle ages
used the dark red juice of the deadly
nightshade as a paint, the distilled
water of the plant as a cosmetic and
the Juice to dilate the pupil and en¬
hance the luster of the eye, in spite
of Its detrimental effects. Belladonna
(nightshade) means "beautiful lady”
in Italian.
Why “Artesian” Wells
The word “artesian” means per¬
taining to Artois, a province in
France. It came t6 be applied to cer¬
tain wells because they were first
known in that region. An artesian
weil is a well bored to a depth where
the water pressure is sufficient to
force water to the surface.
Why Potatoes Are “Spuds”
The origin of “spuds” as applied to
potatoes is unknown. One writer
thinks they were so called originally
from the initials of the "Society to
Prevent Unwholesome Diet,” since po¬
tatoes were first thought to be poieon

USE HORSE AND
MOTOR III ARMY
Combination of Two Makes
for Greater Speed in
Cavalry Operations.
New York.—Instead of the awaited
horseless age there comes the horse
on wheels. Dobbin and the motor car,
once rivals, have patched up their
quarrel. I’ar from disappearing into
oblivion with the buffalo and the dodo,
the horse Is to be modernized along
the most approved automotive lines.
"Motorized" horses, with all the au¬
tomobile’s advantages of speed and
endurance, are In sight.
As a result of extensive motoriza¬
tion tests by the United States army
recently, cavalry troops today can be
counted on for six times the swiftness
of the horse in World war days. Mo¬
torization of other branches of the
military service where the horse nas
been a tradition is the object of
further experiments authorized by the
War department general staff.
That the greatly increased mobility
of cavalry regiments under motorized
conditions would make unlikely an¬
other war of trench operations as In
the World war by laying foot troops
open to thundering cavalry charges
before they could possibly entrench
themselves is a frequent statement
today by ranking army officers.
Convincing demonstration that the
dependable, sure-footed horse can be
rushed over long distances and set
down on the field of action with his
spirit and condition unimpaired was
given during the recent field maneu¬
vers of the First cavalry division In
Texas. Horses and men of Troop F,
Fifth United States cavalry, equipped
for extended campaigning, made the
“motor-march” from Marfa to Fort
Clark, a distance of 300 miles, In two
days, a good performance under un¬
motorized conditions would have been
12 days.
Motors Save Time.
Of Incalculable value to the army
is the fact that motor transport
not only saves time when the first
blow might swing the Issue of battle
but also the troops and their four
footed partners both come up full of
fight, with morale high. The journey’s
end, heretofore, has seen Jaded ani¬
mals and dispirited men.
Success of the cavalry tests with
motors and horses has brought motor '
izatlon Into the plans of the field ar¬
tillery. In Panama next spring the
acute problem of combining the two
mediums of transport will be attempt¬
ed under adverse Jungle conditions. 1
1 "i'ortee artillery," a form of field ar¬
tillery carried by motor truck to the
scene of action and then “manhan¬
dled," made necessary by the thickly
matted jungle-growth, Is to form the
basis of the experiments.
Even the highly perfected field ar¬
tillery equipment which employs the
tractor as motive power finds it needs
the horse for scouting and reconnais¬
sance work, and development of the
motorized horse will solve the vexing
problem of supplying amounts for
this important work, without which
modern field artillery Is helpless.
Keeping step with the tactical plans
of the army for wider employment
of the horse, the army, as the coun¬
try's largest user of horseflesh, has
In operation comprehensive plans, un¬
der the American Remount associa¬
tion, for the development of the horse
market.
Vital to Army Plans,
Not generally known is the fact,
announced recently by the War de¬
partment, that there are already more
horses per soldier in the regular army
of today than there were In the Civil
war. Approximately 40,000 animals—
both horses and mules—aggregating
almost eight million dollars in value,
were doing daily service in the army
on June 30 last. For new horseflesh
during the last fiscal year alone the
army spent nearly $700,000.
So vital to Its plans is the adequate
supply of horses that the United
States army has become the greatest
breeder of horses in the world. Be¬
sides the outright purchasing of
mounts there is the enormously suc¬
cessful army horse breeding plan, be¬
gun in 1920, w hereby 522 choice stal¬
lions, located at forty breeding sta¬
tions throughout the United States,
are held available to farmers and
breeders. Most are thoroughbred
sires.
With these stallions, 30,000 high
grade colts have been produced, and
during the coming year between 14,
000 and 15,000 mares will be bred.
Although the operation of the breed¬
ing plan benefits the stock raiser di
rectly, the army counts the creation
of a supply of good horses In the
country as an adequate return on its
annual expenditure of nearly $150,000.
To a limited extent these horses are
available in the public market dur¬
ing peace time and in an emergency
would be wholly so.
Tough on Posterity
New York—British radio experts
have a theory that voices of person¬
ages who have spoken over the radio
will wander through the ether indefi¬
nitely and be picked up, say, 100 years
hence.
Murders Don’t Count
New York.—Murders in South Afri¬
ca don’t count “because it is a wild
country,” in the opinion of Sir Ernest
Fardner, who admitted conviction of
two.
