SCHOOL STUDY SPORTS aE JUNIOR BRITISH WHIG BIGGEST LITTLE PAPER IN THE WORLD HUMOR PLAY WORK ( i THE SHORT STORY, JR. Dumm Kopf LD SCHNEIDER lived all by him- self in his little house up on the hill He was a queer, grumpy ¥ old fellow, who had little to do They would have had little to do with him, too, if hadn't been he could Weave the most beautiful rag rugs. As well known as Schneider was his dog. Nobody knew the lean, lazy old animal's name. Schneider called him "dumm kopf," German for "block- head". And the name seemed to sult, for certainly the hound was not in- telligent, He would lle out In the middle of the road, and the passing cars had to swerve around to keep from hitting him. Schneider would come to the door and call him to his dinner, and the dog would look at him with va- cant eyes without stirring. Then Schneider would throw up his hands and say, "Dumm kopf!"™ The boys and girls of the town liked the dog, even as they liked Echneider, for in spite of his grumpy manner, the weaver made funny little cookies that tasted so good, and he always had one for any of the younger folks who stopped at his house. In the spring, old Schneider didn't have so much werk to do, House- wives were busy! cleaning and could not sew rags together; besides ely had been a great deal of rain part of the valley had been flooded, 80 that there was much trouble. One rainy night Schneider was sit- ting In his snug house. He decided to go down to the village for tobacco and called his dog to follow. The two set Off near the river bank, which was dark and swirling, jammed with floating trees and small bulld- ings. Suddenly Schneider missed his dog. He called and whistled, but the dog did not come. Then he heard a faint crying. By the flare of a match he saw his dog holding firmly to the coat of a little boy, perhaps three years ol, in drenched, torn garments. Behneider, trembling, picked the boy up, wondering how he had come there. But whether he had been thrown on the bank from a sinking houseboat or had been abandoned, Schnelder never knew. But anyway, Schneider always says now, "You can't call that dog dumm kop! any mere." CONSTIPATION, BAD HEADACHES, Faint, Dizzy Spells Constipation is one of the common- est ills of mankind, and one too of- ten allowed to go unlooked after, un- til some serious complication sets in. A free motion of the bowels daily should be the rule of everyone then there will be no constipation, sick or bilious spells, dizziness, heartburn, eoated tongue, foul breath, sour Stomach, floating specks before the eyes, jaundice, water brash, etc. Keep the bowels properly regulated by the use of MILBURN'S LAXA-LIVER PILLS 'and you will enjoy the best of health. . Mrs. Frank Wilisey, R. R. 3, Bel? "mont, Ont, writes:--*"I have been troubled h-constipation for near- ly two years. I had bad headaches, faint and dizzy spells, and would bloat terribly.

Ae3am ed The amateur Sherlock Holmes knows that all good "a tives" can read the most puzzling codes and know all about how they are made. Of course the best way to study codes is to make one yourself so that you A out. Every code has some key sentence, numbers, or figure, depending on the sort of code it 1s. From this the rest of the code is figured out. Here, for instance, is an original code which was made up from a combination of two figures--a sort of pinwheel and a crisscross figure. The piawheel figure was formed by first making a cross and then running two lines through the angles. Short lines are added at the end of each line, all pointing in the same direction, making a sort of eight-footed figure. The angles formed in this way are used for the letters of the code, start- ing with the one which goes out straight to the left and naming it A. The angles are then lettered the rest od the way around in clockwise fash- on. From this first figure the first eight letters of the alphabet are made, Then, to get the next eight letters, another figure is made. This is the crisscross, four-line figure shown in the illustration. It gives the angles for the next five letters.

RADIO ScHOOL SE The vacuum tuber so familiar to the radio public sre sometimes called "electron tubes,' "radio- trons," "audiotrors" and "plio- trons." The two electrode tubes used solely as rectifier, are called quite often "kenotr:ns." The word "tron," which is a Greek word, ap- pears very often, a: does also the word "electron." If might be well, therefore. to know something about these electrons. In the preceding article it was Attempted to convey some idea of molecules and atoms. The mole- cule is the smallesr possible par- ticle of a substance which can be divided into some other 'substances, while the atom is the smallest par- ticle of an elemental substance which cannot be so divided. Now it has actually been found by noted scientists that even this 'nfinitely small particle, the atom, of any elemental form of matter contains electricity. There really must be some reascn why an atom of one substance differs from that of another. Why is the element Iren different from 'the element copper? Much brilifant work on the part of these scientists who nave Investigated the "why" seems to confirm the theory that an atom is composed of a central nucleus | which carrier a positive charge of | electricity and is surrounded by ELECTRONS. of hydrogen has pretty conclusive- 'y proved to have 'ust one smallest particle of negative electricity con- nected with it. Ar oxygen atom has one positive nucleus and eight particles of negauve electricity. These particles of negative elec- tricity are called "electrons," and each is so extremely small that ft would compare in size with one atom as a pin head does with a ouilding about three hundred and fifty feet high anc two hundred feet square. The atom has really been measured, bur not by observa- "ion under even the most powerful microscope. The weans of meas- urement cannot be described here, but suffice to say that they were very clever. It has been found, however, that electrons have no weight, since they absolutely can- not be acted upon by the force of gravity. They have a certain mass --that is, they cac be measured, but they have no weight. They are merely the smallest possible por- tions of negative eiectricity. Electrons may then be found in varying amounts in all substances, and all kinds of metter, therefore, bave electricity within them. Elec- tricity seems to Le essential to even the air we breathe and the food we eat. It does seem rather strange that we should eat elec- tricity, even 'thongh the bright extremely minute particles of neg- ative alactrieity.

Don't see why folks need to get on each other's nerves just because they're friendly. Darned if I haven't got so I like a little priv- acy and mulling things over by my- self." She had left a city which sat up nighits to talk of universal transition; of European revolution, guild social- ism, free verse. She had fancied that all the world was changing. She found that it was not. In Gopher Prairie the only ardent new topics Were prohibition, the place in Minneapolis where you could get whiskey at thirteen dollars a quart, recipes for home-made beer, the "high cost of Mving," the presi- dential election, Clark's new car, and not very novel foibles of Cy Bogart. Their problems were exactly what they had been two years ago, what they had been twenty years ago, and what they would be for twenty years to come. With the world a possible volcano, the husbandmen were plow- ing at the base of the mountain. A volcano river of lava on even the best of agri- culturists, to their astonishment and considerable injury, but their cousins {inherit the farms and a year or two later go back to the plowing. She was unable to rhapsodize much over the seven new bungalows and the garages which Kennicott had made to weem so important. Her in- tensest thought about them was, "Oh yes, they're all right I suppose." The change which she did heed was the erection of the schoolbuilding, with its cheerful brick walls, broad win- dows, gymnasium, classrooms for agriculture and cooking. It indicat- ed Vida's triumph, and it stirred her to activity--any activity, She went to Vida with a jaunty, "I think I And I'll begin at the bottom." She did, She relieved the attend- aht at the rest-room for an hour a day. Her only innovation was paint- ing the pine table a black and orange rather shocking to the Thanatopsis. She talked to the farmwives and scothed their babies and was happy. Thinking of them she did not think of the ugliness of Main Street as sho hurried along it to the chatter of the Jolly Seventeen, She wore her eye-glasses on the street now. She was beginning to ask Kennicott and Juanita if she didn't look young, much younger than thirty-three. The eye-glasses pinched her nose. She considered spectacles, - They would make her seem older, and hopelessly settled. No! She would not wear spectacles vet. But she tried on a pair at Ken- nicott's office, They really were much more comfortable, III Dr. Westlake, Sam Clark, Nat Hicks, and Del Snafflin were talking in*Del's barber shop. "Well, I see Kennicott's wife is taking a whirl at the rest-room, now," said Dr. Westlake. He em- phasized the "now." Del interrupted the shaving of Sam and, with his brush dripping lather, he observed jocularly: "What'll she be up to next? They say she used to claim this burg was- n't swell enough for a city girl like her, and would we please tax our- selves about thirty-seven point nine and fix it all up pretty, with tidies on the hydrants and statoos on the lawns" : Sam irritably blew the lather from his lips, with milky small bubbles, and snorted, "Be a good thing for most of us roughnecks if we did have a smart woman to tell us how to fix up the town. Just as much to her kicking as there was to Jim Blaue- ser's gassing about factories, And you can bet Mrs. Kennicott is smart, even if she is skittish, Glad to aee Dr. Westlake hastened to play safe. "So was I! So was I! She's got a nice way about her, and she knows a 800d deal about books--or fiction anyway. Of course she's like all the rest of these women--not solidly founded -- not scholarly -- doesn't know anything about political econ- omy--{alls for every new idea that some windjamming crank put out. But she's a nice woman. She'll prob- ably fix up the rest-room, and the rest-room is a fine thing, brings a Jot of business to town. And now that Mrs. Kennicott"s been away, maybe she's got over some of her fool ideas. Maybe she realizes that folks simply laugh at her when ghe tries to tell us how to run everything." "Sure. She'll taxe a tumble to hersel!," gaid Nat Hicks, sucking in his lips judicially. "As far as I'm concerned, I'll say she's as nice a looking skirt as there 1s in town. But yow!"" His tone electrified them. "Guess she'll miss that Swede Val- borg that used to work for me!

Don't you think we ought to make Carrie tell us about the officers she met in Wash- ington?" . They rustied and stared. Carol looked at them, Their curiosity seem- ed natural and unimportant. "Oh yes, yes indeed, have to do 'that some day," she yawned. 8he no longer took Aunt Bessie Small seriously enough to struggle for independence. She saw that Aunt Bessie did not mean to intrude; that she wanted to do things for all the Kennicotts, Thus Carol hit upon the tragedy of old age, which is not that it is less vigorous than youth, but that it 1s not needed by youth; that EMORRHOIDS Do not suffer another day wit Itching, Bleeding, or Protruding Piles or Hemorrhoids.
