Kiddies’ Korner By MADREE PENN Scrap Book JUST BORN TIRED. THAT'S ALL Applicant for Position Would Accept Job Calling Out Stations on Board Vessel. He walked into the employment agency wearing a smile and born-tired look, as well as a □ few other things. “Any vacancies for a man like me?” he asked, as he arranged him s e 1 f comfortably along the counter. “What is your trade or profes- j sion?" "My trade or repeated yawn- | ing. -I'm a coronation program seller.” “I see!” said the clerk, dryly. “No, we have nothing in that line open just now !" “I’d take something else if it suited me and I thought I could do it proper ly, yon know!” he went on. making himself more comfortable on the coun ter. “As for instance?” “Well,” replied the born-tired, ”1 wouldn’t mind calling out the names of the stations on board an Atlantic liner, or something of that sort!” — PROVES PLATE GLASS FADES Window Frsm Fashionable Haberdash er's Store, Installed in Fashionable Residence, Still Carried Ad. An amusing Incident is related in the Scientific American to prove that plate glass fades under exposure to sunlight. The glass originally is slightly green, and after some years of use becomes pure white. The incident is briefly as follows: In making some changes In the front of a haberdasher’s store, a five-foot piece of plate glass was removed and taken away by the glazier, in course of time tills sheet was Installed in the front window of a new residence. The family had scarcely moved in when they began to receive telephone mes sages suggesting that the neighbor hood was scarcely appropriate for a shirt factory. They were mystified until they discovered that when the sunlight struck their window at a cer tain angle the words, “John Doe Shirts Made to Order,” shone out upon the glass. The explanation was that when the glass formed the haberdasher’s window It had borne these words in white en amelled letters, and the letters had protected the underlying glass from the rays of the stm, consequently It had not faded as the rest of the glass had done.

A cat that harked like a dog. re eently exhibited at Boston, tops the list of numerous freaks discovered in this country. Iiecently a giant glow worm inches long, was found in the Santa Cruz mountains. When placed in the dark a gorgeous effect was produced by the luminous rings circling its I tody. Mammoth fruit Is of frequent oc currence, but in South duke, Bath. England, a shocking ease of plant overeating was discovered. It result ed in seven daisies growing on one stalk. This freak, scientists said, was caused by fesciatlon. which means overeating. White blackbirds, canaries, ilnnefs and sparrows have been seen and ex hibited. The ocean, too, gives its share of curious freaks. A double-sid ed flounder, with both sides alike, du plicate fins and a misplaced eye. was caught some months ago.

Color combina tions should he used with care, not mingling too tnnn.v in one dish. Bright splashes of red, vivid green or yellow give zest to the appe tite. 1’imentoes, chives, and hard boiled eggs thinly sliced make attractive gar nlsliing, as do olives sttiffed or green, when shaved and placed on cheese or on pineapple salad. Capers and sweet green peppers arc good in combina tion with lettuce, tomatoes or chicken. Lemon sliced and sprinkled with chopped parsley or sprays of parsley with quarters of lemon make a fish salad most dainty. Beet and Potato Salad.—Take six beets and six potatoes, one cupful of chopped olives and chives, with may onnaise dressing. Cut the cooked beets and potatoes with n potato cut ter into small balls. Put the potatoes in the mayonnaise dressing to which has been added tile chives and olives. Pip the beets in vinegar and dish al ternately, serving ou lettuce. Poinsettia Salad.—Take six tomatoes, a stalk of celery, » sweet green pepper and three apples, one-lmlf cup of wal nut meats and mayonnaise dressing. Scald the tomatoes, chill them and with a sharp knife, mark five divi sions from tile top center over half way to the base. Carefully turn back the skin to form five petals, scoop out the pulp and fill with apple, celery and nuts. Heap a little extra dress ing on each and garnish with a ring of green pepper. Jellied Egg Salad.—Take one quart of chicken jelly; this may he made very economically by cooking a half dozen pairs or more of chicken's feet. Scald, then cut off the toes and skin, then cook in a quart or more of water until the flesh falls from the hones.
