PAGE SIX Twentieth Century We Should Say, So! | Holding your breath is to a certain extent a test of your health. Normal- ly, -adults should be able to do this from 40 to 50 seconds. That means men only. No woman- was ever known to hold her breath that long, as it seems to require that you keep your mouth shut | —All Together Now!— As Time Goes On. L’ The hat worn by women in 40, 000 B. Cy, is stated to be very simila to models worn today. Husbands can use this explanation when deny- ing their wives a new one. But They Can't Get Away With It . The Dangerous Age. Women are said to pass through mental changes at the ages of 28, 35 and 45. That doesn’t mean that they don’t change their minds more often than they change their make-up. —What Does It Mean?— Awful Paws. The hostess, an amiabl¢ bundle of recently acquired wealth, was do- ing her utmost to hide the fact that s ‘was not familiar with the intri- te manipulation of an oyster fork. Following the principle, “When in doubt, . keep still,” she placed her large, fat red hands across the front clevation of her expansive waist. me. Entire families, in varying | degrees of suffering, huddled around the stove—where there was fuel or more commonly, lying on the bare floor with a guernseysack as a cover. Often three generations, grand- | father, son and grandchild, were to- gether in various stages of the slow lingering _death which the villagers of the Tartar Republic are dying Meanwhile, the ceiling creaked rhy- thmically with the undulations of the cradle, under the hand of the grand- mother. = A Russian cradle is suspend- ed on an elastic cord from the ceiling, and rocks up and down. All three generations and both sex- es lives together in the common room, distributing themselves around- over the stove and floor at night. I never saw more than one bed in a peasant’s house. It was generally occupied by the son and his wife. The grand- | father and grandmother slept on tod Suddenly there came a general lulliof the brick stove, and the children, in the chatter, and a bright youth turned to his hostess and muttered, sagaciously: “Awful pause, eh?” The hostess, unhitching herself, as it were, and thrusting her enormous knuckles out of sight, blurted out: “Yes, and so would yours be if you'd had to work as hard as T did before the war.” —After The Battle, Maggie.— Second The Motion! A man, whose family pride was more than his love for music, asked a friend to come and hear his daugh- ter sing. After she had finished, the proud father said to his friend: “Well, how do you like it?” What do either on the hard floor or on the “children’s shelf” a quaint feature of every peasants house, a few feet from the ceiling. Here the children can be chucked out of the way at any time of the day or night. We put up in many of these peas- ant houses during our trip, invar- iably meeting with touching hospi- tality, the hosts apologizing for not offering us food (even though they were themselves starving) and invar- iably hustling out the samovar in a Jiffy. .

Aft- er an hour’s careful observation a po- liceman approached the suspect and demanded to know the why and’ wherefore of his malingering. “Well, sir,” said the native son from Bemidji, “I'm waiting to sce the man who uses that pickaxe!” --—He Never Found Out.— Lots of Competition. Mrs. Joseph E. Reynolds, wife of the sheriff of Tyrell county, North Carolina, has established something of, a record, in that she has under- gone 28 surgical operations—and is <till living. Most of her competitors lost their lives trying to get close in the race. ~—Then They Lost Out.— APPALLING MISERY IN FAMINE SWEPT RUSSIA (Continued ifrom Page 1) ag it was when the Black Prince en- camped upon the promontory. For miles in every direction stretch the level, treeless steppes, infinite in loneliness, extent and crucl beauty. Not a fence nor hedge or house breaks the skyline. In fact, there hardly seems to be any skyline at all, ag I write this, so perfectly does the white of the snowfields blend into the light gray of the sky, overhung with snowelouds, A “Dutch” wind- mill, its four arms motienless, nearby, stands in opaque relief, like a cross, against the background of snow and s A few stunted trees on both es of the road climb the little in- Acrosg the frozen Volga, a mile wide, our caravan of four Russian sleighs drove this afternoon into Bul- gari.

Act- ually, it ig all the children get to eat. And, actually, also, it is enough to keep them’alive. We rolled out of our sleighs like huge balls of snow. The village lay around us in stillness and snow, each hut seemingly snowbound for years. Near the school house were the ruins of three old buildings, dating from the thirteenth century. Inside, the schoolmaster and his wife greeted us with far western cor- diality. There was still fuel, so the school had not suffered the fate of so many in the famine region for the schools are closing rapidly now, as the wood- | pileg in the backyards disappear. “We -have very few books,” the schoolmaster explained. “But we do| the best we can.

Of course, there are many other motorists who are fully aware of the fact that the Bemidji Machine Works lis well fitted to do their work and have patronized this firm ever since they started in business.
