A million years ago, as geologists say, or some think only a hundred thousand years ago, a great glacier When it melted back the water that it formed collected in gouged-out basins and formed the Great Lakes. The outlines of these glacial lakes were strangely unlike the present ones, however. A hoat could have begun at New York and sailed up the Hudson and then along the present site of the Erie Canal and right into Lake Erie. Thence it could have ssed into Lake Huron and then right across the State of Michigan, beginning at Saginaw and enting near Grand Rapids, where it would have gone right into Lake Michigan. Tt could then have sailed south to the Chicago River, which then flowed out {of the lake, not into it, as it did when ! the white men found it, and so by de- grees the hoat would have reached the Mi ppi and the Gulf of Mexico. Now that? what do you know about Answers to Tuesday’s Questions. 1. A doctor’s thermometer must he shaken down because it is a self- reglstering maximum _thermometer, having a sharp bend and constriction in the tube which prevents the mer- cury from flowing back into the bulb unless jarred. . Water is not used in a thermom- eter because it takes a very long tube to register the expansion and contrac- tion of water when heated or cooled; also water does not’ expand and con- tract at the same rate at all tempera- tures as mercury does. 3. A hygrometer is an instrument for measuring humidity. It has been found that the best possible thing for this purpose is a human hair, which expands (straightens) and (curls) in proportion as the air s wet or dry. | 4. An anemometer Is an instrument {for measuring wind velocity. Essen- tially it is a little windmill, which, as it turns, operates a speedometer. 5. Temperature is not measured in sunlight (ordinarily), because if it were temperatures in different places could now be faily compared, because the amount of sunlight varies from moment to moment, while shade 1s always shade; also a special sort of thermometer (black bulb, which ab- sorbs the sun's rays) is required to measure sunlight. The ordinary ther- mometer, {f left in sunlight, measures the temperature of the glass, not the sunlight. A 6. A sling thermometer s one ar- ranged on a rope and protected against breaking, so that it can be whirled around. It measures air tim- perature more accurately than a sta- tionary thermomete it takes, to speak, the average temper: many cubic feet of air. instead of the temperature of a special spot (Copyright, 1920.) o ek Sweet Potato Pie.

A WOMAN writes me that she is married to a man who is tender, kind and considerate to her, and who gives her every comfort and luxury, but that she is thinking of leaving him because he doesn’t come up to her ideal. If this lady’s grievance is admitted as a just cause for breaking her mar- riage vows, divorce will become universal, for no man comes up to his wife's ideal of what a perfect husband should be. Neither does any woman ap- proach within a million miles of a man’s ideal of a perfect wife. Before marriage, both men and women indulge in dope dreams of matri- mony, in which they exist in an earthly paradise that has none of the sordid difficulties of the workaday world, and through which they wander hand in hand with the godlike creatures who possess none of the nerves and tempers and cussedness that afflict ordinary human beings. How people of ordinary inte}llg: ce can so befool themselves into believ- ing that the marriage ceremony is going to waft them into Elysium and give them these godlings for wives and husbands is beyond explaining, but we all do it. And we get the shock of our lives when we find out that ne miracle has been wrought in our behalf, that matrimony is strewn with tacks for us as it is for every one else, and that it does not take long for the halo with which we have crowned our brides and bridegrooms to dim, and let us see them as mere ordinary men and women, with their faults and defects thick upon them. Somebody has said that every wife holds her husband responsible for the wreckage of the ‘dreams of her girlhood. This is true. Many a bewildered man, doing his honest best to be a good and indulgent husband, wonders why his wife is disgruntled and discontented and utterly indifferent to him. * X %k X H would find the answer in the fact that she is taking out on him her disappointment in not realizing her impossible ideal. It is not what he does, or is, that she objects to. It is what he is not that she can't forgive. She feels herself cheated because her visions have not materialized. She is ot fair enough, nor just enough, to realize that no such human eal man ever existed, for she had welded together in her imagi: ¢ virtue and every charm that the wholesconglomeration of man- kind posse: and left out all the faults and blemishes. It sounds like a joke, but in sober truth every young girl dreams of mar- rying a man who will be as handseme as a movie actor; who will dance like Maurice, who will have the money-making talent of Mr. Rockefeller, who will be as soulful as a poet, as humble and patient @s Job, who will be a perpetual lover, and who will never weary of petting parties and telling her how won- derful and beautiful she is, and that the first time he ever saw her he knew she was his predestined mate. Of course, she doesn’t get this wonderful being, for the very sufficient reason that no such paragon has vet been born of woman. She finds when she is married that if her husband is a go-getter in the money line, he is apt to be very short on sentiment and have little time for spooning. Or she dis- covers that her dreamer who walks with his head among the stars is mighty apt to be a poor provider. Or that her gay and handsome husband with the dancing feet is as easy on the eyes of other women as he is on hers, and that he isn’t satisfied to two-step with his wife. Or that the husband who is an adept at lovemaking is generally a philanderer. So she wails and beats upon her breast and cries out that she is miser- able, that her husband doesn’t come up to her ideal, because he isn't every good thing instead of just one good thing. And she blames him, whereas the fault is really her own {n expecting and demanding more than any human being had to give. Men are just as unreasonable about women as women are about men. X A MAN'S ideal wife is a woman who stops the clock at 25 and never gets a day older; who never loses her hair, or her teeth, or her complexion, or her girlish figure; who is always beautifully dressed in dainty chiffons, that she conjures out of the air, and without his having to pay for them: who can walk the colic all night without looking sallow and bleary-eyed the next morning; who is always sweet and amiable and jolly and good-natured and thinks exactly as he does on every subject; who is ready to stay in if he wants to sit by the fire, or to go with him if he wishes to step out; who never desires any amusement herself, but realizes the necessity of his divert- ing himself; yet who can sct & good table and run a house without running up any bills. Needless to say, no such female marvel exists, and when the man finds that his domestic wife smells of bread and butter and bables, instead of black orchids, or that a fashion-plate wife costs money, and that his wife no more has the secret of perpetual youth than he has, why, then, he also in his secret soul calls marriage a fallure, because he has failed to get his ideal woman. ~ Sometimes he starts out to hunt her up among the flappers, and some- times he revenges himself for his disappointment in being mean and grouchy to the poor soul he i$ married to, and Who is breaking ner neck trying to please him. So when we talk about marrying our ideals we talk foolishness. There are no ideal men and women, and the part of wisdom is to make the best of the imperfect wives and husbands we have, instead of being \disgruntled with them because they are not the embodiment of our own romantic dreams. » (Copyright, 1926.» ECHCLERS R Caramel Sauce.

Two old friends who had not met for a year or more were trying to catch up in their confidences. “You'll be surprised when I tell you one thing,” said placid Mrs. Day. “Elton and | are on the outs.” “Why, but you set such store by " marveled her friend. . and showed it too plainly.” Mrs. Day returned. “Elton just got to thinking he owned me."” “Well, for a woman_who has man- aged her own affairs as well as you have since Mr. Day died that wouldn’t just set right,” agreed the other. “But I've always been so glad you and Elton kept such friends after your daughter died, and then after he married again, too. Not many ex- sons-in-law would look after a woman as he has looked after you.” “I know that. And Belle has been just as friendly and considerate, and little Bob is the dearest baby. That's really been the hardest thing, missing Bobby so. But it got so Elton seemed to think I couldn’t turn around with- out his permission, and I just said to myself I'd stay away and let them see I was an independent human be- ing."” ““He thought he owned me That has been the cause of many a rift be- tween an exacting lover and his lass. “She thought she owned me” might be said of many an old friend who, with only the best and kindest of in- tentions, urges advice and warning on one who, for reasons of her own, takes a path at right angles tu the one the friend would choose for her. No one, relative, friend, even chosen counselor, can see another’s viewpoint exactly. Each of us has reasons and opinions, likes and dis- likes, hidden back of the wall that protects his or her personality. Some old memory, some deep senti- ment, incomprehensible to a hard- headed adviser, may shape /i course qf actions. At all events, it well to remember we don't “ow even our nearest and dearest. - Turnips Tasty. Peel and dice three turnips, cover with boiling salted water and cook until tender.

Fresh, Clear Eyes. 1t your eyes do not always look and feel fresh, you should find out and cure the trouble, for it is a matter not only of beauty but of health. If your eyes'aren't quite right, you may not necessarlly need glasses. The eyes will look badly for all sorts of rea- sons—indigestion, for instance, or sluggish liver or kidneys. First make sure of your general health. Spend a few days on a simple diet, drinking two glasses of hot water before breakfast and six to eight glasses of water during the day (in- cluding the two hot ones) to flush out liver and kidneys. Get from eight to nine hours’ sleep every night in a really well ventilated room. Meantime, avoid eve stral that 1s, reading fine print in a mo fng train or reading or working in poor light. In the morning when you get up bathe the eyes in an eye cup containing fairly cold, weak boracic acid solution, See how your eyes feel as a fesult of all this. 1f your general health is below nor- mal, your eyes, of course, will be af- fected. Build yvourself up not only with fresh air and exercise and enough sleep, but with a good tonic as well, prescribed by your doctor.
