Loudon, Nov. 9. One of the aft
ermaths of the Polish-Soviet war is
that Americans will be called upon
to feed and clothe more than 1.250,
000 Polish children this winter
through the American Relief Ad
ministration. The orRanization bv which a ont
$l9,0(k000 worth of food and cloth
ing was distrihutcd in Poland in 16
months at a cost of approximately
$80,000, is virtually intact. Jt in
cludes between 1 5.000 and 18.000
Poles whose services are paid for
by Poland but who worked tinder
the direction of a few American ad
ministrative officers. The Toles
also pay for transportation from the
ships, warehousing and distribution.
Although the distributing organ
ization was considerably disarranged
during the recent fighting, officials
here say they can get into working
order again very quickly after rail
road repairs have been completed.
Tricl
,T DARE say you often have seen
I this tTick and wondered how
A it was done. The magician
shows an ordinary kitchen chair.
waves his hands over it more or
less gracefully, until he thinks he
has it magnetized. He places the
, palm of one hand on the seat of
the chair. He raises his hand.
The chair rises, acting just as if
the magician had been telling the
truth when he declared that he had
magnetized it.
You can do the trick, yourself,,
and you don't have to know any
thing about magnetism. All you
need is a kitchen chair, a 10 cent
imitation gold ring and a small
nail. The nail is driven into the
seat of the chair. The nail must
r.ot be longer than a small crapet
tack and it should not be driven
in all the way. A slot is filed in
the ring, as in the illustration.
The width of the slot is only a lit
tle greater than the diameter of
the body of the nail.
This ring is worn on the middle
finger of the right hand, slot on
the inside of the hand and toward
the palm. The mysterious passes
are for the purpose of making the
trick look more difficult.
Place the right hand on the seat
of .the chair and rub it around
ylowly, engaging the nail with the
ring. After the nail has slipped
into the slot, here isn't much to
do but to raise the hand. The
chair comes, also.
You will find that if you will
press down with the tips of your
fingers you can pull the nail out
, of the chair bottom. The chair
can then be passed for-examination.

Parents Problems
Should a child be allowed to own
a canary?
It the child is old enough and suf
ficiently responsible to care for the
bird properly, there is no reason why
she should not own a canary. It
should be made plain to her that,
while wild birds would be unhappy
in a cage, the canary knows no oth
er home and 'would be unhappy if
let loose in the woods.

WHY?
Do We Speak of "Fighting Like
Kilkenny Cats?
Practically everyone has heard
of the two cats of Kilkenny that
fought until nothing was left
but their tails, and, although the
story may sound like the rankest
kind of nature-faking, there is a
substratum of fact upon which it
is founded. "
During the rebellion in Ire
land in 1803, Kilkenny was gar
risoned by a number of Hessian
soldiers who amused themselves
in the barracks by tying two
cats together by the tails and
throwing them across a clothes
line to fight. The officers, hear
ing of the cruel practice, re
solved to stop it, and sent one
of the lieutenants to collect evi
dence, while the soldiers also
placed a man on guard to give
warning of the approach of the
officer. One day, however, the
sentinel neglected his duty, and
the heavy tramp of the officer
was heard ascending the stairs.
Seizing a sword one of the troop
ers cut the tails in two as the
animals hung across the line, and
the two cats escaped minus their
tails, through the open window.
When the officer inquired the
explanation for the two bleed
ing tails left over the line, he was
informed that the two cats had
been fighting and had devoured
each other, all but the tails. It
( was from this bit of quick think
ing that the story or the Kil
kenny cats originated, and, in
time, became a synonym for fierce
fighting without quarter. -.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
NO GOOD
We read that folks who like to tope
Have lately had a goodly boost to
Their meribund, but breathing hope
Of getting lit the way they used to.
For if a doctor will agree -
To issue the required directions,
A man can get a bun or spree
Through subcutaneous injections.
And yet somehow we do not think
The methods will have much attraction,
Because a subcutaneous drink '
Don't promise one much satisfaction.
The thrill that titilates the throat
On hoisting in a fizz of today,
Will not be noticed in remote
And nerveless sections of one's body.
And while the law may see no harm
For doctors, gowned and capped and solemn,
To serve you highballs through the arm,
Or half way up the spinal column, ,
You'll miss the mirror and the bar, '
The frost upon the glass congealing,
And your imbibing will be far
From bringing back the same old feeling. ; ,
To get a jag on in a cot,
While round about one doctors hover,
To be a subcutaneous set
Beneath an antiseptic cover.
Though that way he may get a stew
As quick, or even quicker,
It's not "a thing that's likely to
Restore the old time taste for liquor.

Jasper Jay's Story
After the blinding -flash of light
and the queer click had sent Brownie
Beaver hurrying home from his part

house for a long time before he
ventured out again.
Indeed, .the night was half gone
when he at last he stole forth to

find Grandaddy Beaver and tell him
about this awful fright.
Brownie found th3 old gentleman
resting after several hours' work
upon the big dam. And when voung
Brownie told Grandaddy what had
happened, the old gentleman didn't
know just what to think.
"It couldn't have been a moon
beam," he said, "because there's no
moon to-night. And I don't see how
it could have been a gun, because
there was no roar. . . . Did you hear
a sort of whistle ?" he asked. "Any
thing that sounded like a bullet pass
ing over your heard?"
Brownie Beaver shuddered at the
mere mention of a bulbt.
"I heard nothing but that odd
click," he replied.
"That's what a gun sounds like
wien it's cocked," said Grandaddy
Beaver. "But with a gun. the lick
comes first, the flash next, and the
roar last of iM. And here you tell
me tho flash came first, the click
next, and there was no roar at
all. . . . What's a body a-going to
think. I'd like to know? It wasn't a
gun that's sure. And if you want to
know what I say about it, why I
say that it was a very strange thing
that happened to you. And I'd keep
away from that tree for a long
time."
"I had made up my mind that
I'd do that," Brownie told him. And
then he went home again. . But he

never went to sleep until almost noon
the following day; for whenever he
closed his eyes he semed to see that
blinding flash of light again. ( .
When Jasper Jay came on Satur
day afternoon to tell Brownie Bea
ver what hacT happened in the world
during the past week he had an as
tounding piece of news.
"Hi-re's something about you,"
Jasper told Brownie,! as soon as he
could catch his breath. Jasper had
flown faster than usual that day,
because he had such interesting news.
"Your picture," he told Brownie, "is
in the photographer's window, way
over in the town where Farmer
Green goes sometimes."
"I've often suspected," he said
"that you don't always telli me the
truth. And now I know it. I've
never been to the photographer's in
my life. So how could he have my
picture, I should like to know?"
"But you don't have to go to the
photographer's to have your picture
taken," Jasper Jay retorted. "Why
couldn't the photographer come to
you?"
"I suppose he could," Brownie Bea
ver st.id. "But he's never been here."
Jasper Jay gave one of his loud
laughs. j
"That " he said "that is just
where you are mistaken. And vheq
I explain how I came by this news,
maybe you'll believe me.
"Tommy Fox told it to me," Jas
per went on, "and old dog Spot told
it to him. Everybody knows that old
Spot sometimes poes to town with
his master. They were there yester
day. And Snot saw ycur picture him
self. What's more, he heard the
photographer tell Farmer Green that
he came up here almost a week ago,
hid his camera in some bushes, and
set a flesh-light near a half gnawed
tree. And when you started to work
on thj tree that night you brushed
agair.st a wire, and the flash flared
up, and the camera took your pic
tore before you could jump away. . . .
Now vhat do you say?" Jasper Jay
demanded., "Now do vou think I'm
telling you the truth?"
Brownie Beaver was so surprised
that it was several minutes before
he could speak. Ilien he said.
"Grandaddy Beaver was right. It
wasn't a gun. I was just having '.-.y
picture taken." Brownie was actual
ly pleased, because he knew he was
the only person in his village tha;
had ever had such a th ng happen to
him. 1
After that he was ready to believe
everything Jasper Jay told h"m. So
Jasper related !'.tme wonderful news.
And it would hardly be fair for any
one rot present st the tinvj to say
that it wasn't perfectly true--every
word of it.
