Earnato's Dilemma.
"Barney" Barnato was a member of
the Cape Town assembly and was de
lighted lu scandalizing the members of
parliament. During a debate on the
Cape liquor law, which prohibited the
sale of intoxicating drinks on Sunday
except as nit accompaniment of a sub
stantial meal, he said:
"A few Sundays ago I walked some
distance from Cape Town, and being
busily engaged in mentally reviewing
the course of business In the honorable
house I went further than I had in
tended. I retraced my steps, and be
ing hot and thirsty went into a most
respectable hotel for refreshment. I
wanted to quench my thirst, but ac
cording to law a drink could only be
supplied as an accompaniment to a
bona fide meal. Mine host set before
me a bottle of beer and a leg of roast
pork. lie had no other eatables. What
was I to do? If I ate the pork I broks
the law of Moses. If I drank the beer
without eating I broke the law of the
land. Between the chief rabbi and the
chief justice I stood In a very awk
ward position."
Then the Ice Formed.
She (tenderly)—When did you first
know you loved me?
He—When I began to get mad when
people said you were brainless and
unattractive.

Talismans and Amulets.
The truth is that deep down In the
complex nature of most of us there Is
a certain regard for the occult, of
which, however, our higher Intelligence
may disprove, we find it difficult to rid
ourselves entirely.
While the word mascot has long
been common in Provence and Gas
cony to denote something which
brings good fortune to n person or
household, it is only within the last
30 years or so that it has passed into
common use In Britain. It owed Its
introduction largely to Edmund Au
dran's well-known comic opera "La
Mascotte."
But only the word Is modern. The
use of talismans, amulets nnd charms.,
which were really prototypes of the I
mascot, goes back to a very remote
age. The ancient Egyptians wore
amulets fashioned In the shape of
gods, men. animals, and insects. The
stones in the shape of beetles often
found In Egyptian tombs gave cour
age to the wearer. Figures of frogs
were also hold In particularly high re
pute.
Why Ships Are Sunk.
Torpedoed merchant vessels are not
sunk by extensive Carnage of the ship
structure, is the view of a committee
of the British Institution of Naval
Architects, but because watertight
compartments are nut watertight.
Plating and riveting are not disturbed
over large areas, while bulkheads are
not burst in by water pressure. Three
causes explain many losses—bulkhead
doors too low down to be closed after
explosion, flooding of Closed compart
ments through fractured suction pipes,
and penetrating of bulkheads by flying
rivets and other fragments of steel.
What Solomon Said.
The teacher was talking to her class
about Solomon and ills wisdom.
"When the queen of Slieba came
and laid jewels and fine raiment be
fore Solomon, what did be say?" she
asked presently.
One small girl, who had evidently
had experience In such matters,
promptly replied:
•"Ow much d'yer want for the lot?"

This is no idle claim, but a fact proven by miners,
farmers and construction workers from Alaska to
Mexico. "Hi-Press" is made by a new and better
method—the greatest advance in footwear in fifty years.
We use the toughest rubber ever evolved—actually the
same kind that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires. There
sfiems fn he no wear-out to it. And the boot is molded
INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Can't leak or come apart—and
it's wonderfully comfortable.

Hip is best for the sluices, and there
are many other styles. Ask for the
footwear with the Red Line 'Round
