When Glass Sticks
When two glass vessels get stuck
together, so that there is danger of
breaking them in getting them apart,
put cold water in the Inner one, and
hold the outer ODe In warm water, and
you will find that they will separate
at once.
Taxing in China
In some parts of Cldna as many as
sixty different taxes are Imposed on
the citizens 'he majority of whom are
very poor, .ind to make matters worse,
some of these taxes have been collect-
ed as far in advance as 1039.—Collier's
Magazine.
India* Mound*
Archeological excavations of Indian
monnds have led to the conclusion that
these mounds seeut to have been de-
signed for a variety of uses. Some of
them were burial placea, others foun-
dations for edifices, while still others
served as fortresses. The most pre-
tentious were used for sacrificial and
other religious purposes. In many of
the tribes the custom obtained of col-
lecting the bones of the dead, cleaning
them carefully and putting them In a
common grave, over which a mound
was erected.
Normalcy
President Harding didn’t invent the
word "normalcy.” It had Its place in
the language long before he was bom,
but It was obsolescent and not often
met with. Re gave It currency through
his use of It in his Inaugural address—
“we must strive for normalcy to reach
stability”—just as Roosevelt gave pop-
ularity to several words, notably
"strenuous.”
Papyrus
Egypt developed papyrus. A book
was written on one long strip of papy-
rus, which was then rolled and tied.
This accounts for the word volume,
which comes from the Latin word
meaning to roll.
Unity
E Pluribns tJnum is the Latin for
one out of many or one composed of
many. It Is the motto of the United
States, usually, taken to mean one gov-
ernment formed by the uniting of
states.
His Fame Spread
An American whistled [topular mel-
odies for 12 hours without stopping.
We understand that lie receives a huge
"fan mail" every day from office boys
ail over the world.—l^ndon Humorist.
Court in a Mine
To take testimony in h mine disas-
ter at Johannesburg, South Africa, a
police court session was held on the
twenty-seventh level of a gold mine,
more than 7.000 feet underground.
Boat Refuses to Sink
Cut out a piece of wood the shape
of a slice of melon and you will find
that no matter what you do with It
in water. It rights Itself in an instant.
This is in part the principle on which
the self-rigiding lifeboat Is constructed
which has been the means of saving
an untold number of lives.
* Pegs’ Wonderful Hearing
A dog can hear tones of a much
higher pitch than the human ear can
detect. Russian scientists have as-
serted that some dogs tested for this
quality were found to hear sounds
vibrating over 100,000 times a second,
while the human ear ceases to hear
when sounds reach 20,000 vibrations a
second.
Original Locomotive
Due to the persuasion of George
Stephenson, the Stockton A Darlington
In England decided to use steam In-
stead of animal traction. At the open-
ing of this railway on September 27,
1825, the first pnssenger train In the
world was drawn by Stephenson’s lo-
comotive Active.
Detail Overlooked
When an anonymous donor recently
mailed $180 In currency to the city
chamberlain of Glasgow, Scotland, “to-
ward the city’s debt," he neglected to
put a stomp on the envelope.
Dismissal
“Dad tells us to ’skedaddle' when he
wants us out of his way, but lie can’t
tell us the origin of this outlandish
word." It comes from the Saxon word
“seedan,” applied to milk overflowing
the pail—"to pour out"—popularized
into “run away.”—London Tit-Bits.
Good Luck*
“Who started the custom of throw-
ing old shoes after the ‘bridal pair?”
asks a correspondent. An old French-
woman at the wedding of Louis XIII.
She threw her own shoe at his coach
saying It carried a blessing, though she
had nothing else to givei—Iiondon Tit-
Bits.
Divided Honors
The rising of the American Colonists
against the British enemy occurred on
land and at sea more or less coinci-
dentally over a long period, and It Is
Impossible to assign any date which
would show which arm of the service
was first in this regard.
Based on History
An "historical novel" means that the
'iook is to a large degree based on fact.
< iften tlie plot is fiction, hut the back
ground of the tale Is historically cor-
rect.

CYLINDERS
NO MORE-
NO LESS,
says America
n
Anything more and you
sacrifice economy—
anything less and you
sacrifice smoothness.
■BUYERSeverywhere are comparing
■C tow-priced cars. Lifting hoods.
WB Counting cylinders. And the
result? An overwhelming verdict for
the six, in preference to cars of fewer
or more cylinders.
“SIX CYLINDERS. No more-No
less!" And America backs up that con-
viction by purchasing more six-cylinder
Chevrolets since January 1st, than
the combined total of all fours and
eights under $1000.
With more than six cylinders, you sacri-
fice Chevrolet’s famous economy of
gas, oil and upkeep—the greatest
economy in today’s motor car market.
With less than six cylinders, you sacri-
fice the built-in smoothness that
makes driving really enjoyable.
But with a six—a Chevrolet Six—
nothing is sacrificed. You get smooth-
ness AND economy.
And power—60 horsepower. And
speed—65 to 70 miles an hour, easily!
And pick-up—from a standstill to
35 miles an hour in less than 7 seconds!
You also get Free Wheeling; Syncro-
Mesh gear-shifting; big, spacious.Fisher
bodies.
So, when buying a new low-priced car,
settle the question of cylinders RIGHT,
and you can’t go WRONG. Take
America’s word for it: “SIX CYLIN-
%
DERS. No more—No less!”
