For Self Protection An “Every-Day-Eat-Onions-All-the Time” society is the newest fad in Chicago. It is said tha$'membership is open to all, and is entirely plebeian. Plebeian, however, wouldn’t be our name for it. Reasons for belonging to the society are evidently strong enough, but non-eaters will necessari- ly be under additional expense, that of buying a gas mask. —Open Air Society?— Change of Color We read where a certain Irishman has been executed for the killing of a Black and Tan. Why should colors make that much difference? We re- member when lots of people used to kill Black and White and they appar- ently got away with it. —Got Away With a Lot, Anyway— Law Against Law A woman was recently arrested in New York for shooting at and scar- ing away two burglars who attempted to enter her house in the night. It develops that there is a law in that state, “the Sullivan gun-toting law,” which forbids citizens of the state from owning firearms. And still there is another law which says that the owner or tenant of a house can defend that house against lawless marauders. - That law justifies a per- son in shooting to defend his home when necessary. Nevertheless the - woman was arrested and put under bail for court trial. It would seem that “the burglars are not getting the protection they should get” in New York state. First thing you know, one of those savage house-owners will be killing one of those night vis- itors. —S8-0-M-E Law!— ‘The Royal Taster Dear Twentieth Century: What chance do I stand in maliing the line with this lingo? I suppose it will get by because it isn’t my own: She had a taste for whistling, A taste not quite permissible; But still I didn’t object to. it, The pucker was so kissable. —I. Trydet. —Taste Will Tell— Little Demand Si Draft says: “I've noticed that a business man without pep is like a van of dough without any yeast.” Yes, and like a keg of homebrew without any kick. —Do the Kicking Yourself— Is He Welcome? We notice that soviet Russia may pay. the $15,000 bond for “Big Bill” Haywood ,and if that is right, we ven- ture.to say that Bill may prove mighty costly before he’s through with Russia. Then again, Russia might not be soviet if it had $15,000 to give away. —The Money Is Welcome, Anyway— A List- Anyway Ireland will soon have an election and it is said that the list of candi- dates is coming through. The lists of casualties are coming through ev- ery day. Better mark the list of can- didates “special” so the editors will know which is which. ~—Or Just Send the Number— WILD BIRDS POSSESS STRONG HOME INSTINCT (By United Press) Urbana, Ifk,. . April 26.—The “Home" inctinet is as strong. in birds ag it-is in humans, according to Frank Smith, professor of zoology at the University of Illinols here. Although some birds winter as far south as South America, Professor Smith has found that many of them return to itheir old habitat and sometimes to their criginal nests. The investigation covered several years and extended from Ilinois to Georgia. = Accurate results were as- sured by trapping the birds, placing lleg bands on them and freeing them. A chimney swift caught in a chimney near Cleveland, Ohio, in 1916, was trapped in the same chimney in 1917, Chimney swifts spend their winters in Central America and sometimes further south. Two catbirds caught in' 1916 were re-captured in the eame locale in 1917 and one of the birds was caught again in 1919. A house wren banded in 1915 was caught again in 1916 in the same nest box which it had first ‘housed 1ts brood. Y ly Investigation at Thomasville, Ga., showed song sparrows and myrtle warblers return to their old nests aft- ler a summer sojourn in Canada. Some tinies the birds did not return to itheir winter inomes until two years had passed. TRIPLE ALLIANCE SAID TO BE DEFINITELY SPLIT . (By United Press) London, April 26.—The triple alli- ance, Great Britain’s most powerful labor organization is definitely split, acoording to A. J. Cook, leader of the miner’s union. Cook declared the miners will not return to the alliance until it has been remodeled and reorganized. The split came when railroad and trans- port workers refused to strike and support ‘the miners in wage de- mands. $ MOOSE LODGE TO HOLD MEETING THIS EVENING There wiil Te a mecting of the Mcose Lodge tonight for the trans- action of gen:c:tl bu -3 Matters pettaining to the membership cam- paign and arrangements for the ba- zaar to be held in June will be dis- cusséd.

It's folly to take for granted al that's told you about the straight road. Most of the time you can follow the travel, but where divisions ‘come and the travel Is about evenly divided you are compelled to ask for information or guess. ‘The best way is to. get a «| chart of the route you expect to follow before -you start out. That will give you the general lay out, and full in- structions as to where to find turns and branches.in the road. Then when you ask information you can check up with the authority in your possession. And when you ask information you must be careful to note -the .intelll- gence of the one you talk with, Bee sides, he may never see you again, so he just makes a bold guess and you, by tollowing, will soon be wondering where you are at. Have faith but don't be credulous.—Exchange, Many Forms of Carbon. Conl, charcoal, graphite and dia- monds are different forms of the ele- ment carbon, but the diamond Is crystallized in one way, graphite in another, and charcoal is not crystal- lized at all. Some hard coals contain over 90 per cent carbon. The coke left in the retorts when coal is heat- ed to make gas is, like wood charcoal, an impure amorphous (uncrystallized) *carbon. The purest' amorphous car- bon s made by heating sugar in 2 loosely covered crucible until gas ceases to come off. Splendid Slumber Inducer.

I had. an experience with the mes- meric power of a rattler in southern California which may interest hunt- ers. I was out shooting California quail with a favorite dog of mine, an frish red setter. I missed the dog when walking up a hill and whistled for him. Thinking he must have got a point, T walked back and looked down into the valley, where I saw him setting about 300/ yards off. I thought it was very odd, for there was no. covert there, and it puzzled me, as I kncw there could be no- birds there. So I-walked up:to the dog. When I got about fifty yards off I then ran in, watching him, and when about fifteen yards off I saw ‘a big ratilesnake also swaying his head. I yelled at the dog, who then stepped back, and I shot the rattler, blowing him off the ground.—Letter in The Fleld. vy w.B CUT: Every Respect” . says the Good Judge You get more genuine chew- ing satisfaction from the Real ‘Tobacco Chew than you ever got from the ordinary kind.
