We have a notion that healthy and happy v people never become fatigued. The truth is that they do get tir- ed periodically, but know how to rest and recuperate. They exper- ience normal, not chronic fatigue. Normal fatigue is good. It is part of normal, healthful living. It may be recognized by a general tiredness of the body, which is Bot unpleasant and which may be dispelled by rest and sleep, and by incTeased nourishment. Every- one who has known the joy of liard work has known the joy of normal fatigue. If men and women would oniy accept normal fatigue as an ac- companiment of work or effort, and would get the necessary re- cuperation through rest, more aerious forms of fatigue wouid never develop. Life would then b« balanced. BREAKS IN ACTIVITY Plan for at least two breaks In activity during the day. Dur- ing each break, just stop doing everything for five minutes. Don't talk. Don't think. Just .^it "with your head drooping forward toward your knees. Or, better yet, lie on the floor with your feet propped up on a chair. '•••••••m»i Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. Should one make any kind of explanation when refusing a drink? 2. How should one introduce a irlrl stenographer, who is a new employee, to an executive of the company? 8. When a man takes a girl to • public dining place, is it all right for him to suggest some- thing on the menu, that he knows i« good? 4. Isn't it poor form for sales- people to address customers a'; "honey," "dear," "girlie," "doc- tor," "c a p t a i n," "brother," "boss," etc.? 6. When a formal dinner begins at eight, at what time should a guest depart? 6. Should a man comb his haJr In public? Antwert 1. "No, thank you" is suffic- ient. It is not at all necessary to explain or apologize. 2. "Miss Mooro, this is Mr. Carter, our I'resident." 3. Yes. 4. Yes, and it often means loss of business. A well-bred person resents such familiarity from a stranger. 5. El- even, or a little before, unless dani'ing or some other form of entertainment follows. 6.

South Africa's Dog Detectives Thrilling' stories of the exploits of police dogs in the detection of crime are given in the annunl report of the South .African Com- missioner of Police, Colonel I. P. de Villiers, of Cape Town, in his annual report. In one case a dog called "Echo" tracked down a thief who subse- quently admitted that he had wrapped his feet in sacking to es- cape detection. In another in- stance a dog followed a trail one and a half miles to a hut in the middle of a compound of 38 huls with 135 inhabitants and pointed out the native.

Bamboo Useful Tropical Tree Makes House-building Simple â€" People of the East Eat It, Too Tiio t>aiuboo tree' i.s oue vl the mo«t useful trees In the tropics. It grows as much as sixteen inches In twenty-four hours, and attains a height o{ more than one hundred feet. The tree Is hollow, but at each of the many joints the cavity is clos- ed. Saw off one complete section of th«' thick stem and you have a per- fect pail, or cooking vessel, Siiual- ler sections form ready-made bot- tles. Ikunboo makes house-building einiple. The stems are used as scaf- folding, walls and roofs can be all mad* frcan It, and split section* form the floors. Masts for ships and rodp for fuljigrn^-n are othgr iy;es. Pt opie of the East eat it, too. yie gi-aiu-' of bamiboo seed are regarded by the Chlneso as a food delicacy, while the Hindus mix them with honey to form a succulent dish, Tn China the baiiiboo Is cultivat- ed with as much care aa otlipr crops.

Suddenly one of the men said "25," and the other immediately burst into laughter. When he had ceased chuckling he called out "121," and the other man now roared with laugher. This \vent on for some time. N"o sooner would one call a number than the other would laugh. The old lady, doubting the mentality of her two companions, turned to them and said, "Excuse me, but I don't see anything funny in shouting a number." "It's all right, madam," one replied, "we are commercial trav- ellers and we know all our jokes by numbers." Hotel Guest (phoning down at 2 a.m. for third time): "Say, are you the night clerk?" Clerk: "Yes; what's biting you now?" Guest: "Tha's what I'd like to know." â€" The science-master was dem- onstrating the reaction on lime- water of carbon dioxide. The presence of this gas gives to the clear lime-water a milky appear- ance. Holding a beaker of the liquid in his hand, he breathed into it and held it up to show the change. Up went a hand. "Please, sir," asked one of the class in an awed voice, "will any- body's breath do that?" â€" â€" "Why are you suddenly taking French lessons?" "Well, we've adopted a French baby and we're eag- er to know what he says when he begins to talk.' â€" o â€" Little Renfrew was generally in trouble. Finding that words had but little effect upon hi» child, his father resorted to stern- er measures. A neighbor, watching him chas- ise the boy, noticed with admira- tion that Renfrew gave no out- ward indication of pain. "Don't you ever cry when you're beaten, Renfrew?" he ask- ed. "What's the use?" retorted the small boy. "The old man's deaf!" Jones: Very polished wo- man, Mrs. Brown, don't you think?" Smith: "Yes, very polish- ed indeed. Everything she says casts a reflection on someone." A film producer was going round the studios one day when he saw a face he didn't know. ".Are you on our staff?" he asked. ",Yes, sir. Your brother engag- ed me." "Is that so? What do you do?" "I'm a writer." "A writer, did yx)u say?" be asked suspiciously. "Yes, sir." "All rightâ€" spell something!"

It is an antiserum, that is, made like an antitoxin, a substance formed in living tissues which neutralizes the poisonous products of germs. This discovery is a new ap- proach to the mystery of human high blood pressure. The animal.s were dcgs with forms of high pres.sure closely resembling tha widespread and highly fatal hu- man malady, â€" o â€" SUNSET ON VENUS Four young scientists have re- turned from a mountain-top camp with 1,500 photographs of sun- sets on the plane: Venus. They said probably not more than a dozen astronomers had observed the phenomenon during the last 200 years. They descri!)- ed the photoo-raphs as the fir't successful series of pictures of the sunsets ever made. They saw Venus as a thin sil- ver crescent, the horns of which bent toward each other until the planet was visible as a delicate ring of light. .A^stronomers pic- ture Venus as a gigantic "dust bowl. ' â€" o â€" FINDS SHIP POSITIONS A combination sound and rad'o buoy which will enable ships to determine their location accur- ately with respect to the buoy, has been developed by the Un- ited States Coast and Geodecie Survey for use in ocean surveys. In operation, a ship explodes a small TN'T bomb. The current that explodes it makes a mark on a rapidly moving tape. The sound of the explosion is picked up by the distant buoj', which immediately sends out a signal. This is received by the ship and causes a second mark :o be made on the moving tape. From the distance between the two marks the distance of ship to buoy can be calc-alated. Identity Game Here is an amusing game. Be- fore the time of playing arrives, make a slip of paper for each guest. Write on each slip the name cf a famous person, an his- torical figure, a movie star, or a present-day hero. Without letting the guest see the name, pin the slip on his back, telling him to discover who he is by asking anyone in the room any question he likes which he thinks will help him to identify himself. "Am I alive?" "Am I a man?" "Am I a woman?" "Do I live ini Europe?" "Am I a singer, actor, politician, soldier?" Polonium, which costs about $2,000,000 an ounce, is mined in Northern Canada, only 1.600 miles from the Xorth Pole. WHAT CHEW HAS THE MOST FLAVOUR? IHATl EASY -BIG BEN!
