A street. car approached a busy downtown ~corner, the motorman clanging his gong. A truck driver stepped from In front of his machine parked near the track. He waved re- assuringly at the motorman and measured with his hands to signal sufficlent clearance. The motorman resented the truck- man's. role of traffic director. He growled his resentment to a platform ger. “I don’t meed nobody to show me how to run:a car. I.been runnin’ one long enough to know when I can get by He clanged angrily toward ' the next corner where other trucks were parked. . ’ “I suppose some fool will step ou! here to tell me how to run my car,” he snapped. He glanced contemptuously at a truck as his car glided toward it. But . there . was. no “fool to give di- rections’ this time. and, to the very great astonishment and chagrin of the motorman who, knew “how to ‘run ‘em,” his car.sideswiped the truck.— Kansas City Star. rfimmi;u, were lowing party at terday afternoon Armstrong, Ida Virginia T.

COUN] Men With Small Ones May Have Larger Mind Capacity Than Many Others. As the action of the brain has not, 18 yet, been seen by man, no one at rreeent knows just what it is, beyond" ts merely physiological or mechanical pubstance. It is sald that the brain of the normal man contains over 800, 000,000 cells, and that about 3,000 are destroyed every minute. If this is the case then a mew brain appears about once in sixty days. The normal brain has a volume of 58 to 105.cubie Inches. The brain of the ‘Anglo-S8axon and the German, and of other civ- ilized nations, . averages the larger number, while the negro brain oc-’ cuples a space of about 96 cubic Inches, and some Australian natives have brains of only about G8 cublc inches. The male brain is about 10 Logging in Western Hills. In the West logging camps are mostly situated in the hills and the heavy loads of logs have to be hauled out, always downhill, ;Often; that helps to make tlie hauling easy, but sometimes the ' grades are so steep that It makes it too easy—so easy that it entails difficulty. Indeed, in these instances the term hauling is a mis- nomer, for that implies pulling the load, and the operation actually con- sists in pushing against the load n- stead of pulling it. Two and a half miles of specially constructed track is used at one Western logging camp for transporting heavy loads on a large motortruck ‘déwn a very' steep grade. The truck, described in Popu- lar Mechanics, ix six-wheeled, and has powerful brakes on its four rear wheels.

Among the anclent “geasa” or ta- boos' In Scotland none was of greater Interest than the “geas” which pro- ‘hibited the eating of pork. Thousands of the highlanders refused either to keep pigs or to eat pork in any form. They despised:pork as keenly as did the Hindus, the Jews and the modern Greeks of northern Arcadia. The pig was ofter asgociated with the devil, observes the Detroit News. when walking toward. their boats, they met_a plg or g% e, N One of the namesyhich the-Guelic- *| speaking people ofSdotfund hud for the devil was “tiie” black piz.” When the devil appeared in human form he-had usually a horse's hoof, but also sometimes a pig’s foot. He was in the habit of visiting young peo- ple who played cards, which -were, notoriously, the “devil's books.” Although the pig was generally, as- sociated with the devil there was highland evidence that It might as a supernatural being be, 1like the fairies, of assistance to mankind. It could assume a bird form. The devil-pig and the god-pig were met with on the nes_of Scotland. ‘Why is this wrong? + The amswer will be found among today’s want ads. , .
