That the origin of “April
Fool’s Day” is unknown, but
the custom has long pre-
vailed in many countries. In
Scotland the victim of the
trick is called a “gowk” and
in France “poisson d’Avril”

Bedtime Story for Children
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
A CHINE-GUN practice with ail
the advantages of open terrain
and landscape targets is being accom-
plished at the Fort Wayne army post,
Detroit, Mich., by using painted land-
scapes in a limited area. The range
used is 1,000 inches, which corre-
sponds exactly to the 1,000-yard range
of open country. The gun crews fix
their sights and ranges the same as
they would on a 1,000-yard range, and
fire at landscape objects in the upper
black and white panel. The lower col-
ored duplicate scenes are to enable
gunners to pick out their targets more
readily.
ENTREE OR MADE DISH
'TP HOSE who plan meals are often
confronted by the problem of what
to serve to add variety, “pep,” or to
fill a vacant place in the menu. Some-
thing is needed that is different, tasty,
while at the same time it fits in with
the other dishes which compose the
meal.
In bridge, when in doubt, lead
trumps—in food planning, when in
doubt, add a dish which appeals. The
following are a few which may be use-
ful ; they may be varied by using dif-
ferent fruits or vegetables.
Orange Fritters.
Take one and one-fourth cups of
pastry flour, two teaspoons of halting
powder, one-fourth teaspoon of salt,
mix well and add four tablespoons of
evaporated milk and seven tablespoons
of water, one beaten egg—beat until
smooth, or about two minutes. Take
two seedless oranges, remove all fiber
and dip each section into the batter.
Have deep fat hot enough to fry a
cube of bread a golden color in a min-
ute, then drop in the fritters a few
at a time; cook for five minutes, drain,
sprinkle with sugar and serve.
Lobster Croquettes.
Take two cups of chopped cooked
lobster, mix one-fourth of a teaspoon
of salt, the same of mustard, a dash of
cayenne and add to the lobster. Pre-
pare a white sauce, using two table-
spoons of butter, three of flour, one-
half teaspoon of salt and a cup of
milk. Add the cooked white sauce to
the lobster, mold into balls when well
chilled and fry in deep fat, using a
hotter fat than the above. Forty sec-
onds for the browning of the bread
is the right amount. Serve with tatar
sauce.
Mushroom® Toast.
Cook mushrooms in butter for five
minutes, add cream and seasoning and
pour over well buttered toast. Serve
at once.

Dear Mr. Wynn:
I am a woman forty-three years of
age and have never been married. A
widower about my own age is madly
in love with me and wants to marry
me. I love him all right, but he says
he is a member of twelve lodges. What
I want to know is this: Is it wise to
marry a man who belongs to as many
as twelve lodges?
Sincerely,
MAY SOONICK.
Answer: There is no harm in it as
long as you will be satisfied with him
staying away from home twelve nights
a week.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
What does it mean when you see
a lot of letters after a doctor’s name?
Sincerely,
MEDDIE SON.
Answer: That simply means he got
to where he is by “degrees.”
Dear Mr. Wynn:
Do you think it is really true that
women make fools of men?
Yours truly,
IKE ANTBEE LEEVIT.
Answer: Some times they do, but
some times it isn’t necessary.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I met a fellow the other day and
have since found out that he is an
awful liar and is not thought very
much of in our community. I am
placed in a very embarrassing position.
He has asked me to lend him $50, aHd
when I asked him when he would pay
me back he said: “I will pay you back
in two weeks, on the word of a gentle-
man.” What shall I do?
Truly yours,
IONA TRUCK.
Answer: Tell him you’ll lend him the
money if he’ll bring the gentleman
around.
Dear Mr. Wynn:
During a conversation, at a bridge
Tunic Frock
party, some woman passed the remark
that there wasn’t any difference be-
tween a man and a banana peel. It
sounds silly to me, but this particular
woman is considered very bright, so no
one questioned her. Have you any
idea what she meant by comparing a
man and a banana peel?
Yours truly,
I. BIDSPADES.
Answer: Her comparison was this:
Sometimes a man throws a banana
peel in the gutter, and sometimes a
banana peel throws a man in the gut-
ter.

More Than a Hundred but Going Strong
\/I RS. ANNA HOKANSON, now well along the second century of her life
at one hundred and four, keeps in trim by doing the milking on the farm
near Puyallup, Wash., where she makes her home. The centenarian credits her
long existence to the healthful farm life she leads.
NANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS
WORRIED
VTANNY MEADOW MOUSE was
worried. Yes, sir. Nanny Mead-
ow Mouse was worried. Nanny is a
home body. In the firs£ place, most
of the time she has a fa'mily to think
about and care for. There are babies
in Nanny’s snug little home most of
the time. What with helpless babies
and headstrong, half-grown children
eager to get out in the Great World
and show how smart they are, and
fully grown children already setting

sary risks. The most precious thing
anybody possesses is life. To risk this
for something which at best is noth-
ing more than pleasure is the most
foolish thing in the world. Nanny
and how necessary it is that a young
Meadow Mouse who would live to a
good old age be carefully trained.
One of the first things to be learned
is the foolishness of taking unneces-
up homes of their own, Nanny has real
cause for worry. You see, no one
knows better than she what a lot of
dangers surround a Meadow Mouse
any time, but she is far too wise to
risk it for any other reason.
“If you lost your life you’ve lost
everything,” is a favorite saying of
Nanny’s, and when yon come to think
of it, it is exactly so. Sometimes Dan-
ny Meadow Mouse laughs at her and
tells her that the older she grows the
more timid she becomes. That doesn’t
trouble Nanny at all. She simply
babies all the time on his mind as does
Nanny. So he has more time to think
about himself and the things he wants
to do. Then, too, the sharp little wits
in that funny little head of his have
brought him through so many tight
places that he has come to think him-
self quite as smart as anybody else
and quite able to take care of himself
no matter what happens, which shows
that he isn’t as wise as Nanny, though
it wouldn’t do to tell him so.
The day that Danny took it into his
head to visit the Smiling Pool had
been a very trying one for Nanny.
Danny hadn’t told her where he was
going or that he expected to be gone
long. The half-grown children had

Stella, “the fastest drivers are found
in the parked cars."

smiles and says nothing. She knows
it is true, but she also knows that this
added timidity is because of increased
knowledge of the dangers of the Great
World, and that the more timid she is
the less likely is she to feel careless.
“A Meadow Mouse cannot be too tim-
id,” says Nanny, and in that she Is
more than half right.
Danny Meadow Mouse Is different.
He doesn’t have the care of those
For a hot day at the office this short

Lobster Traps
Lobster traps are usually 3 or 4 feet
long and capable of containing a num-
ber of lobsters. They are, set in water
ranging from 5 to 30 fathoms or- even
more, and are visited every two or
three days, if the weather permits.
From the traps the lobsters are taken
to floating cages, called cars, where
they are kept until enough are gath-
ered to warrant a shipment.
been very trying that day, for they
had persisted in taking foolish risks
whenever Nanny’s hack was turned.
They kept her worried. They kept her
so worried that she didn’t have time
to think of Danny. But when the
Black Shadows began to creep out
over the Green Meadows and Danny
had not returned, it popped into her
head that something dreadful must
have happened to him. She began to
worry. The later it grew the more she
worried.

AN OLD COUPLE
By ANNE CAMPBELL
npwo with hair as white as snow
1 Closely sit together.
In their hearts the banked fires glow.
Bitter is the weather;
But the joy of summer days
Still is mirrored in their gaze.
As two trees that through long years
Toward each other bending,
Nourished both by smiles and tears,
See the sun descending,
So do these two, wondering,
Face the end, and closer cling.
Long the journey from the day
They joined hands, light-hearted.
Hard sometimes, the winding way
Since the journey started,
But it’s been a worth-while pull!
Sharing made it beautiful!

Weather Affects Human Efficiency
Studies of the effect of atmospheric
conditions on human efficiency show
that the majority of us work faster
in the spring and autumn than In the
w!nter and that we accomplish more
work than usual immediately after a
change in weather, not only on a clear
day following a stormy period but also
during a storm following several days
of sunshine.—Collier’s Weekly.
HAND-SHAKING
OUT OF DATE?
Jugoslavians in Movement to
Abolish It.
The formation of an Antihandshak-
ing club in Yugoslavia is noted by
the omniscient London Times, which
remarks in approbation that trust-
ing one’s right hand to a stranger is
to give “the most valuable of host-
ages, and on occasion, as when mas-
tering the left sleeve-link (one of
tile) indispensable allies in the bat-
tle of life.”
“This handshaking business” the
editor continues, “used to be thought
a quaint survival from the days
when right hands held daggers or
could draw swords; to place it in
the keeping of another was to clear
yourself of any dangerous intention
or ability. Business men have often
laughed to think how little meaning
the ritual need have today when
fighting and ambushes take other
forms. Fascists and Nazis have
learned to make a gesture more near-
ly combining the remembrance of an-
tiquity with the action prescribed in
diagrams of Swedish drill.
“The efficient Japanese combine
the quest for physical fitness and
social geniality by constant bowings
from the hips, bringing important
abdominal muscles into play and get-
ting better exercise in proportion as
the obeisance is marked. The bow
and the salute have this further ad-
vantage also, that they do not betray
their makers as handshaking can.
People who offer a hearty grip, with a
‘Doctor Livingstone, 1 presume?’ im-
pression that two strong white men
have at last managed to meet, do
not at all like it if their palm Is
hastily and lightly stroked, or if they
are given a fleeting sense of a flabby
and shapeless mass.
“There are secrets of handshak-
ing, hidden rituals and squeezes of
the brotherhoods for those who en-
joy them; but from these subtle
pressures and convolutions of the
fingers much unhappy fumbling
and discomfort arises, for many a
man has been thought to have been
giving some secret sign when in
fact he was merely trying to ex-
tricate his unhappy hand. An oc-
casional handshake on a big occa-
sion between the parties to an en-
gagement or marriage, or other
major partnerships, and on other im-
portant events, is all very well, an
old custom and not a bad one. But
when it grows to ludicrous lengths
in the interests of salesmanship and
a politeness without ordinary good
will behind It, it is time to cry halt
and to fill in the membership forms
which will enable one. as of right, to
extend, for once only, the right hand
of fellowship to the stalwart men of
Ljubljana.”
Depression’s End Seen
for Peanut Industry
Some people have theories about
the superiority of lower animals to
the human race. They Claim, for
instance, that animals eat enough,
and having satisfied their appetites,
quit. Therefore animals have fevr
digestive disturbances. Of eourse,
anyone who has tried to bring up a
dog knows there is something wrong
with the idea, but the theorists laugh
off this objection by maintaining that
the dog is almost human. Take the
snake, they say; it .eats, then lays
off for days or weeks at a time.
Now comes the report from Chi-
cago that the zoo animals are suf-
fering from what the French call
evil of the heart, but what we some-
times refer to as tummy-ache, from
eating too many peanuts. They are
being given the well-known and ef-
fective remedy.
We merely point out two things—
that the ability of animals to re-
strain their appetites in the pres-
ence of peanuts has been overesti-
mated by those who hold up animals
as exemplars of dietary wisdom; and
that the depression is over when kids
can buy enough peanuts to sicken a
whole zoo.—Detroit News.
Scientists Claim Ere in
and Brawn Go Together
The theory that brains and brawn
go together was put forth recently
by a group of scientists who had
assembled to discuss the world’s ills
and how to cure them. A large chest
expansion is a symbol of mental
breadth, it was said, while a narrow
chest denotes compressed intelli-
gence. Children who are the best
students, surveys have shown, are
those with the biggest chests. Statis-
tics were qalled in to show that more
successful persons, as a rule, have
more generous height and girth meas-
urements than their less fortunate
neighbors. Thus the idea of brain
power being associated with brawn
has been elevated somewhat from
the field of physical culture argu-
ments.
Among the statistics eited in sup-
port of the theory that larger dimen-
sions are indicative of business suc-
cess were those showing sales man-
agers, on the average, to be twenty-
five pounds heavier and one inch
taller than salesmen. Railroad presi-
dents appear to be thirty-one pounds
heavier and one and one-half inches
taller than station agents. The rela-
tive avoirdupois of generals and pri-
vate soldiers was not given.
Regardless of the scientific explan-
ations of these phenomena, the or-
dinary man—possibly the station
agent—has some sensible views on
the subject. In the first place, he
readily will grant, good health is the
best stimulant for a smoothly work-
ing brain. There are exceptions, of
course, as in the case of the genius
who has cultivated his brain cells to
compensate for physical deficiencies,
but in the main the better a person
feels physically the more fit he feels
for head work.
