Sound is noth- ing but the vibrations of the air acting on the drum of the ear. When people are quite deaf it is because the ear- 'druxn will not respond to these vibra- tions, but they can still feel these vibra- tions even if they cannot hear them. When a number of deaf mutes are sit. l ting in a room together and one Wishes i .to attract the attention of another he i strikes his heel on the floor, and every one in the room feels the vibration and looks around to see who called. In the ` large usylums for the deaf and dumb : the doors are hung very loosely, so that I if you shake them it sets up a vibration ! like stamping on the oor, and that is the way they wake up deaf people that I sleep too late in the morning. 1 Use Your Sense of Humor When Dis- tressing Situations Arise. Humor proves to be the saving clause of many a distressing situation. The trouble with most of us is that we take our troubles altogether too se riously. \Ve fail to see the funny side of things that for the moment concern us, even though we are quick to grasp it when we are mere onlookers.

At the end of the war the youngest boy returned. He was a captain and not a captain merely by courtesy. As he rode through the old plantation he saw to his intense surprise that it was in :1 fair state of cultivation and that foodstuffs had taken the place of cor- ton. He had expected to nd those broad acres lled with weeds and hriurs. As soon as he had proudly _:;x'eeted his mother and been in turn proudly greeted by her he spoke of this.

Foiled in the personation game, the master minds in a criminal con- spiracy resort-ed to forgery. Rejec- tion certilicates were obtained from men justly entitled to them-obtain- ed by criminal methods. Occasion- ally they were purchased from un- scrupulous holders for a few shil- lings; often they were stolen from men under the inuence of drink or drugs. Then, with ready acid and pen, the forger, having found a pur-1 chaser, changed the name and ad-l dress on the certicate, and parted- with it for a good round sum. A man, or men, in the North of Eng- land collected several of the earlier I certiticates in this way, and came to London. The first forged rejec- | tion form was sold for 15.

Young men walking the streets in civilian attire, letters from mothers wanting to know Why my boy is taken and so-and-so is left, open boasts that men had "done the au- lthorities, soon told the tale. Re- ~cruiting raids-dcnounc-ed in some quarters as interference with the ' liberty of the subject" and the rest- K conrmed suspicious, and the author- gities were soon at work ghting the I criminals.
