Two motorists arrived Into one night at Uic village Inn, cngoged a room, and went straight to bed.

"There nin't' nny 1" groaned Clarence. ;Well, I'm going to open the win dow, anyhow." Barking his shins nB he went, the courageous Cuthbcrt readied his goul and tugged at Uic window-pane. "Can't open the rotten thing now I've1 got hero!" he panted. IJreuk It, then I" grunted Clar encc.

"Itathcrl" answered CInrence. "A fellow can't sleep without proper ven tilation I" .When they awoke the next morning they were surprised to find the window untouched, but the glass door of a big bookcase was smashed to pieces. London Tlt-IMs. AIDS STUDY OF GEOGRAPHY Device That Holds the Attention of "Small Scholars and Is by No Means All Toy, Ellen Hendry of Fresno, Cnl has newly patented what she calls an "in flatable globe," for Instruction In ge ography. It Is a small balloon of rubber, con tained In an outer envelopo of linen or other suitable fabric, the latter be ing made of two pieces resembling in form those made of a baseball cover and stitched together. The deflated balloon Is inserted Into this envelope through a slit In the hitter, and Is then blown up with the breath, the air being prevented from The Qlobe Inflated. escape by twisting n button, which, In connection with a second button sur rounding the balloon-neck, serves the purpose of a vnhe, The air pressure Inside the balloon holds the two buttons together, thus, with the help of the twist, makes tltc balloon perfectly air-tight. The above mentioned silt is laced up, and the re sult Is a sphere sultnble for geograph ical study, Inasmuch as a map of the Vold la printed on the envelope In colors. Philadelphia Ledger.

HAS ADDED TO VOCABULARY Qabrtele D'AnnunzIo Is Credited With Making Important Additions to the Italian Language. Commander Gnbrlele d'AnnunzIo linn become a coiner of words. Aside from having a special d'AnnunzIo dictionary compiled and published by some enterprising Italian publishers to assist his leaders In knowing the meaning of words not found In the ordlnnry dictionaries, the premier Italian poet and ndventurer lets very few weeks pass without promulgating some new addition to the Italian vo cabulary. The former dictator of Flume Is In a iulet retreat. Various pilgrimages are made to him by men who were adventurers with him In the Quurnero enterprise. Koine of them asked him for a new name for cognac. He said: "There Is but one numefor cog nac and that Is 'nrzente,' which signi fies thnt It Is the very force of the wine." He Inquired how the people of Flor ence were taking his suggestion that the name of Florence be changed from the present Italian name of Flrenzc to Florcnza, meaning "a city of flowers." The pilgrims stated the people of the town welcomed the Idea and may adopt his proposal. The poet Is doing n little literary work while there arc no more Flume fields to conquer. BUSY STREET CORNER SAFEST Logical Reason Why There Are Few Accidents Where the Traffic Is the Heaviest. "You must have lots of accidents here," said a friend of Trnllle Com-, missloner Hariiss the other day as they were passing one of the most congested corners of the city. "I'm not surprised either," he added us he saw a large touring cur come sud denly to a halt lebs thun half u foot from u passing pedestrian. The commissioner shook his head. "That's where you're wrong," he re plied. "Not only are there not more but there are actually less accidents here in proportion to the amount of truffle thut goes by than almost any other place In New York. If you'll think u minute you'll sec the reason for It, too. Where the street Is more or less quiet and deserted u person crossing the road Is less apt to look for approaching vehicles. Where they are always passing, however, he Is al ways on the lookout. The theory works both ways. While the pedeu triun keeps a close watch on the stream of trnlllc, the automobile driver nlso keeps tab on the con tinous file of pedestrians In his way. On a comparatively quiet street both pedestrians und cars are exceptions and accidents are bound to occur." New York Sun. Still Powerful Ruler. With an area of 245,000 squure miles, Afghanistan Is, next to Tibet, the lurgest country In the world that Is virtually closed to the citizens of other nations. Hut political life at wury, alert Kabul Is in sharp con trast to the meditative seclusion and classic aloofness of the pious lamas at Lhaba. Amir Amnuullun Khan, through his agents In India and else where, Is in close touch with the world's current events; and, ns the lust remaining Independent ruler of u Moslem country, now Hint the power of the caliph at Stumbou! Is broken, he wields a far-reaching influence throughout the Mobummedau world; also, because his land happens to He Just us It does on the map of the world, It Is plain thut for a long time to come he will be an active force In the political destinies of middle Asia. Like Menellk of Abyssinia, Queen Lll of the Hawaiian Islands, or the last of the FIJI kings, this Amir, remote mid obscur6 as his kingdom Is, stands out In his time us u picturesque torld figure. Scots "Fish" With Swimmers. Out In canny Scotland they "fish" with swimmers, that Is with students h are learning to swim. Swimming Instructors have viulous methods 'or teaching their pupils, but none is mure novel than thut used by some of the Scotch. These Instructors have a rope uud pulley urruugement by which the pupil Is suspended ut the end of the rope In the water. Tho Instructor holds the other end of the rope and can raise or lower the pupil In the water. In his other hand the Instructor bus a long pole with which he prods the pupil at various times to correct tho movements of, the arms und legsu Should the instructor lose his grip on the rope what would happen to the pupil can be Imagined. Hut suppos ing, with that pole in his hand, tho Instructor loses hU temper? The Held of conjecture Is open. Cleveland News-Leader. Improbable Story Beginnings.

New serIces huve been opened "up this past year In the western und northwestern portions Of the stutu and a program adapted to the sparsely set tled rural districts situated In Uie sand hill country Is now being worked out. Both the State Bureau of Health' and the federated women's clubs of the htutc arc strong factors In the success of the lied Cross Nursing Services, lending It support und splendid co operation. The slogan of the women's clubs, "u county nurse In every county in the state," Is aiding greatly In bring ing communities to realize the impor tancc of public health nursing. In Lincoln, Columbus and Fremont a Bed Cross nurse carries oil the work among the school children In tile city schools In addition to organizing clin ics and performing other services. On January 1 the county commissioners will take over the financing of the two nurses In Lancaster county. This is the first county in the state to make nursing service a part of Its program.

Becently n health week wus carried through successfully In 1'lutte county by the Ited Cross nurses with splendid co-operation from its medical .society, Tho board of education lu Columbus hns assumed the main responsibility In financing the city nurse. Classes hi Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick have greatly aided in the success of the nursing work sponsored by Bed Cross chapters. Frequently 'the nurses have acted as Instructors la addition to the regular teachers who conduct the courses. Very excellent instruction in this Im portant work was given In connection Iwlth the work-lit tlw University of Ne braska at Lincoln.

FEEDING FOR EGG PRODUCTION (From Farm Bureau News) The Poultry Department of our State Agricultural College offers tha following' suggestions for stmting pullets to lay: "Some of tho early hatched pullets are laying now if you aro feeding them dry mash, an egg-making food, but if you nre allowing tfiem to make their own living around the barn they are finding too much starchy grains. Their appetites are satis fied but they do not have the proper food for egg production. High" priced winter eggs ure not far oft" nnd those pullets must be laying when your heavy producing hens arc molting during October nnd Novem ber. Keep a good dry mush before your pullets and hens all day allowing them to eat when they please. They will satisfy their craving for egg Tinnking food from the dry nlash hop per and will not become too fat from overeating starchy grains. The Ne braska College of Agriculture recom mends the following dry mash: 25 pounds of brnn, , 25 pounds of corn meal. 25 pounds of ground oat?. I 25 pounds of shorts. 25 pounds of meat scraps or a good grade of tnnknge. 1 pounds of line table salt. If the birds have all tho sour milk they can consume, use 12 pounds of njeats scraps or- tankage." Specilications for making the self feeders for dry mush may be obtain ed from the Farm Bureau olfice.
