(Copyrlght1320. by the Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) Travelers who, for the first time, invade the waters of the tropics, are often amazed at what appear to be flocks of tiny bircft which rise from the water, skim along its surface for several hun dred :et and then disappear un der ti e waves. Closer investiga tion, however, discloses the fact that these winged creatures are not birds, but fish members of the herring family and therefore related to the shad, the sword fish, the mullets, the trout and the ccd. Thi ability to rise from the watei and travel rapidly through jnie air is due to a pronounced de velopment of the breaW-fiirs which, in addition to giving the '. impetus necessary to en thc fish to leap Upwards, ach s a sort of parachute which stippt ts it in the air. When alarmed by the approach of a boat crof some larger fish which is recognized as an enemy, the "flying herrng" darts rapidly to the stirfuce of the water and leaps upward at an oblique ' angle, pushin; the water aside with its fins in .iiuch the sanje manner that a man 'would push the earth with his feet in jumping upwvd. The instant 'they clear the vater, their well-developed fi;is jerve a purpose analogous to the planes of an air-ship and they skim along, close to, the surface, sometimes traveling as much as 500 feet before diving again. FITCH PEBKINS ' 9 Irish Twins Read a Letter. Larry and Eileen looked it over carefully. "There it is, hiding in the corner." said Larry. He point ed to a "5" on the green paper. ' "Five pounds it is!" said Gran nie Malone. "Sure, it's a fortune! Oh, it's himself is the good son to me! What does the letter say?'- The Twins soread the sheet open and studied it, while Grannie hov ered over them, trembling with excitement. "Sure, that s dear, isn t it? said Eileen, pointing to the first word. "Sure," said Larry, "letters always begin like that." , "Dear G-r-a-n-n-i-e, spelled m- leen. "What could thai be but Grannie?" "'Tis from mv erandson, young Patrick, then," cried Grannie. "In deed, he's but the age of yourselves! How old are you all?" "Were seven, saia tne iwins. "Patrick mieht be eight," said his grandmother, "but surely the clever children like yourselves and the two of you together should be able to make it out. There's but one of Patrick and there should be more learning between the two of you thin in one alone, even though the is a- bit older! Try now." Larrv and Eileen tried. This wk.i the letter. It was written in a large staggery hand: 1 f "Will vou listen to that now! cried Grannie Malone. "Is it tak- ing me back to America he'd be! 'Tis a terrible journey, altogether, ' fa 0JU.& dLL itv itut mvli UU ' ycit Uvu 4v XfaOU: xS aj6AAMA tvhJ kt -tun x.U4. and a strange country at the end of it, for me to be laying my old .bones inl But I'd be a proud womin to see my own son in any country of the world, and he an alderman!" There was a letter from Michael himself in the envelope also, but tnc Twins could not read that, howevet much they tried. So Grannie was obliged to put the two letters and the green paper un-i der the clock over the fireplace, to. wait until the priest should pass that way. (Rights reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.)

TI,V vunrVinor for me and I'm the boss, so why should I have any consideration for THEM?. What re their feelings or their comtort to me? I pay them their wages and if they rtnti'r IHv-ei the wav they're treated they can get jobs somewhere else. I can always get others to take their places. If I started in being decent they'd get so they'd espect it of me all the time, and I can't be bothered. I have my own comfort to think about and that's enough. : Besides, I'm in business to make money and not to make my help happy. Being decent sometimes costs money and if I can keep my help afraid of me they're not so apt to loaf and shirk. It doesn't matter to me what they think of me or say about me behind my back so long as they get the 'work out. And if I can get the work out of 'em without treating 'em like human beings, why should I? I don't pet the machines in my shop, do I? (Copyright, 1920, Thompson Feature Service).

ALL WEEK ALL WEEK Thos. H. Ince's Thunderbolt Hobart Bosworth in "Below the Surface" A Paramounl Aricraft Picture v The COLTON Pipeless Furnace 5 i Is Ideal For New or Old Houses WARM AIR 1 You will want the Colton Pipeless Furnace in your new house because it obviates the necessity for special construction of any kind and does "not require openings in walls or floors, cutting the house to pieces before vit is completed. You will demand it because it assures you 100 heat from each ton of coal and every room, nook and comer will be warm even in the coldest weather next winter. . The Colton Pipeless Heating System is the logi ' cal one for old homes. It modernizes them in a day. Requiring no more space than a vegetable cellar, it relieves the owner of useless expense in alterations and the housewife of the tom-up condition incident to the installation of the old style heating plant. The noticeable fact that furnace manufacturers are either changing to the pipeless furnace or. adding it to theirvline, illustrates the increasing demand for this new and better system! Over 5,000 comfortable owners in Iowa, prove the quality of the Colton the pioneer pipeless fur nace in this territory. Many special features contribute to Colton su periority. The lower section of the fire pot is slotted on the inside so that air is delivered to the fuel around the edges as well as in the center through the grates. Consequently, a hot fire is maintained clear to the rim of the- fire pot no ashes are allowed to accumulate at the edges and insulate the bowl Jbetter heat is obtained by using all instead of but part of the fire pot. Extra heavy casings are used and full length inner casings which reach clear to the register, increasing the radiation surface and at the same time aiding circulation. The base is cast in one" piece the grate bars are heavy triangular sections, geared in pairs. The combustion chamber is corrugated to allow for expansion and contraction. Radiation surfaces are increased by straight-sided, fluted walls. The Colton Pipeless is self-cleaning. i Cheaper in first cost more efficient guaranteed to save a third of the fuel required by stoves or pipe furnaces, the Colton Pipeless Furnace is the modern heating plant. Make sure of getting a Colton for your home order now at present prices. i i mi OMAHA - DES MOINES-SIOI m i 404 S .
