A dignified-looking woman stepped up to a showeasg in the meat market, and- after she had bought several pleces of meat, she asked: “Have you any shinbone that I could use for soup stock?’ “Just the thing,” responded the obliging clerk as he took' up a long shinbone and knuckle and balanced it on his left hand. x “What is it worth?” asked the ‘woman. \ “Just a half-dollar,” said he. “It {8 such a large piece, wéuld you mind cutting it at the joint?” “Sure, I will,” he replied. After cutting off the large knuckle he again balanced the long, slim shin- bone on his hand and said: “You may have this for 40 cents.” The woman looked at the piece for a moment, then at the knuckle and maid: . “Is that plece you cut off worth only 10 cents?” The. clerk hesitatingly replied: “Yes, madam.” “All right,” sald the woman, “I'll take that knuckle.” The clerk waited a moment, looked at the woman, then actually laughed aloud. But he was game and will- ingly wrapped up the 10-cent soup boue. - NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED American Soldier in Paris Had Made a Small Mistake in Copying the Street Name. During the war, while I was on leave of absence in Paris, relates a re- | turned soldier, I decided to take a walk alone. I thought it advisable to copy down the name of the street in which I was staying, so I wrote down some words printed on the sidewalk. When I was ready to return I found that I could not locate the street where my hotel was, so I approached a woman, showed her what I had writ- ten in my book, and tried to learn from her where the place was. She laughed and said something in French, which, of course, I did not under- stand, and passed on. A number of times I did the same thing, and every' one I stopped laughed, and passed on until a man said in English, “What is it you want?” Delighted to find that I had distov- ered one person who spoke English, I gald, “That is the name of the street where I am staying, and I am lost. Will you please direct me?” “You haven't written down a street sald the map, “but ‘post no Skidding Is Overcome.

That of 368 antituberculosis dis- pensaries in France only ten per cent are sitpated in Paris was hailed as a “happy omen” at the second interna- tional conference.

Some seven and a half million dol- lars’ weorth of new road construction has been taken in hand by various British cities to provide work for the unemployed.
