HtllllLTOIICOUlimiECOtlD WHY ------ O u r Best A n im a l Friend, the Dog, Is a Favorite Why \is the dog man’s favorite animal pet? Here are just a few of the many reasons, as given by Bob Becker, in the Chicago Tribune; A dog is loyal. Regardless of the fact that his master may. be a hobo of a millionaire, the dog shows his loyalty in many ways. A dog is forgiving. If you punish your dog, even without cause, he holds no grudge, but asks only to be allowed to serve you longer. A dog is friendly. If his master is gone the dog—like any good friend—^wants him to return. When his master is home he asks only that he be allowed to act as com panion, guard, or playmate. A dog is trustworthy. You need not fear that your dog will change affections, preferring the home and attentions of others, if you have cared for him for many months or years. A dog is patient. Regardless of how long you may leave your dog or fail to carry on your job of feed ing and caring for him, your doj will wait patiently until you ge around to his needs. W h y It Is “John Bull” and “B rother Jonathan*^ Why is an Englishman known as John Bull,, and who first gave him that nickname? Col. P. B. Arbuth- not states that it was invented by one of his ancestors, Dr. John Ar- buthnot, physician-in-ordinary to Queen Anne, says London Tit-Bits Magazine. Dr. Arbuthnot wrote political satire denouncing the war with France and supporting the peace of Utrecht. This satire he caUed “The History, of John BuU.” Its hero was a bluff, kind-hearted, bi^-headed English farmer, and this name has stuck to Englishmen ever since. Brother Jonathan, the nickni ■ for the people of the United Sta1 named after Jonathan Trum bull, chief adviser to George Wash- mgton. When in a particularly try ing difficulty the President was wont t n cnTr say, \sena. lor Brother Jona than.” To consult Brother Jonathan became a catch-phrase, and soon was used to denote a citizen .of the United States. Why Some Fur Is “Hudson Seal” “Hudson, seal” is a trade name for muskrat fur dressed and dyed to resemble seal. The United States trade commission, regards “Hudson seal” as an “improper name for seal-dyed sheared-muskrat.” - The commission has ruled, “That in or der to describe a fur, in eyery- case the correct name of the fur must be the last name of the de scription; and if any dye or blend is used, simulating another fur, the. word ‘dyed’ or ‘blended’ must be inserted between the . name signify ing the fur that is simulated, and the true name of the fur, as ‘seal- dyed muskrat’ or ‘mink-dyed mar mot’.” '“Hudson Bay seal” is the trade name of seal-dyed rabbit. Why Shinplasters Were Used Shinplasters, or fractional cur rency, were issued during the Civil war because of the disappearance of coins from circulation and the shortage of small coins. The frac tional currency was found generally unsatisfactory. The circulation was maintained only at a great expense to the government. It was replaced by coin at the earliest possible mo lt. The first issue of fractional ley was made August 1, 1862, id the fifth and last issue was made from February 26, 1874, to February 15, 1876. Why White Towels Are Absorbent Something that everyone does not know is that a colored towel is not quite so-absorbent as a white towel.. Absorbency decreases as colors grow darker. This is because the :h is filled mnot take up water. portion of the fibers wl up with dye can: ^.emember this, and if you want the greatest absorbency, buy white or pastel-colored towels. Why There Are Nansen Passports The Nansen passport is named for the great Norwegian statesman and philanthropist, Fridtjof Nansen, in memory of his part in furnishing aid to World war ^refugees in Eu rope. He was high commissioner for refugees to the League of Na tions, and in 1923 was awarded the Nobel Peace prize. Why ®hey Are Tea Boses Some roses are called tea roses because they are descended by hy bridization from two roses—Rosa chinensis and Rosa gallica—^which had a perfume similar to that of tea. Why Magicians Use Babbits The reason why magicians pull rabbits out of a hat instead of cats, puppy dogs or opossums, is because rabbits are the only animals jthat will behave. Why Fabrics Turn Yellow Pure cotton fabrics turn yellow very slowly, but the change is ac celerated by the presence of im purities, such as iron compounds, fats and rosins. Why Nero Committed Suicide Emperor Nero died by commit ting suicide on the approach of horsemen sent to drag him. to e:^- cution. _ MISSIONARY SWAYS HISTORY OF HAWAII A m erican Becam e A d v iser to - King an d Ran Things. Minneapolis.—The story of \how an American missionary tnfluen Hawaiian islands during th( o f King Kamehameha III ' le jreign lated here by Lawrence M.

Doctor Judd, who married in or der to go to Hawaii, as the chureh would not send a single man, ar rived in the islands in 1828. Over a period of time, as the only medical man in the kingdom, he virtuaRy became royal physician. And after he had been in Hawaii approximately ten years, the king induced him to leave the mission and join the government, then a feudal despotism. “My grandfather and a French man named Richard were the only white men to renounce their citizen ship and become Hawaiian sub jects,” Judd said. “Grandfather became translatdr and interpreter in the royal court. That meant that he dealt for the kingdom with all foreign nations. “He had great influence with the king and first indUqed him to grant a constitutional monarbhy. Then grandfather and two others wrote the constitution, patterned after that of the United States.’’ His influence \with the king ws illustrated by an incident in whic a British admiral, feeling that Enj land had a grievance, almost seize the islands. A roundtable discussion between the king and the British officers took place. Doctor Judd sat next to the king and, by prearrangement, when he tapped the king’s foot once with his foe the king answered “yes.” the Two taps “no,” king answered States Limit Gasoline Broufyht in Foreign Cars Washington. — Eighteen . states have limited the amount of gaso line which may be brought inside their borders without payment of additional taxes, according to a sur vey made by the federation of tax administrators. The restrictions are designed to prevent motor vehicles from using highways without contributing to the cost of maintenance and .con struction. . » Thirteen states have specific gal lon limits—ra c in g from 10 gallons in Colorado 50 in lowa'^while five states admit tax-free only the fuel that can be carried in a ve hicle’s ordinary fuel tank.

The word which, savants found could be misspelled so often was “circumference,” according to Dr. Henry D. Rinsland of the Univer sity of Oklahoma. Dr. Rinsland, discussing misspell ing, said the greatest trouble in spelling correctly came from the sound of the words. He offered four suggestions foi improving spelling: Learn the correct the word. In writing, write every letter clearly. Be on the lookout for double let ters and letters that are not sound* ed. Observe the word carefully-when it first is seen. t pronunciation ol Sheep Thriving on Job of Preventing Blazes Oakland, Calif. — The distrid which embraces the Alameda Coun ty Zoological gardens has obtained fire protection free of cost.

As soon as this porcelain was intro duced into Europe all the pottery nations began trying to produce the same kind of ware. The English people became specially interested and their potters began experiments for making porcelain. It was these pioneers who gave to English china of the Eighteenth century the char acter and charm we so much ad mire in the examples .that have sur vived the years, writes Alice R.

The ancient alchemists believed that somewhere in nature there existed a substance which would convert ordinary met. als into gold. This im a g inary sub Stance was called the philosopher’s stone because it was supposed to have a philosophic basis and was linked with the theories of matter advanced by the philosophers. The, idea of transmuting base metals in to nobxe ones seems to have origi nated among the Greeks at Alex andria in the early centuries of the Christian era.

Located near the Canadii the International Peace br _ old fortress virtually has been de stroyed by vandals, curio seekers and early'Nineteenth century set tlers who carried stones away to build houses, barns and even a church. According to John Tielger, in charge of the restoration work, the Canadian government plans to re build the one-time stronghold with such authenticity “that a British general of 1770 could come here from Valhalla and feel at home.” Years of Research Work. Historians and architects have put in years of research in conn^tion B: in finding plans of the old fort, which will be followed in reconstructing the landmark. Strategically located at the mouth of Niagara river, the original fort, wood, was erected in It was destroyed by a storm 15 ye; later. Again the fort was built, but built of wood, was erected in 1764. 2 d by a stg i s b u x u ,, uu i/ this second one also was demolished by a raging storm.

A third fort on the same site was started in 1805, but was still unfin ished when the War Of 1812 broke out. The partly completed fortress was seized by American soldiers, who made it a strong fortification. The British laid siege to it in 1814, but Gen. Peter A.

When completely restored, the fortress will contain tw o ' buildings well protected by about 600 feet of stone wall. College to Use Ancient Gold Mine in Class Work Santa Rosa, Calif.—^The Junior college 1 ->re believes it is the only one in the world that owns a gold mine, complete in every respect, except for gold. The exhausted mine, with all its installations complete, was discov ered near Carson City, Nev., last year when Jesse Peter, curator of the Junior College Geological and museum, was on Anthropological tour for specimens. or specime Something attracted his attention at once, and as the mine was being sold at a tax t ----- .U4. u. for $2.85. lie, Peter bought it in The “something” which had tracted Peter’s attention was not the. possibility of exploiting the mine but the fact that one of the shacks on the property had for its founda tion a vast collection of Indian mor tars that presumably at some time in the past hi ‘ ' r some. } past had been made by tribe at a near-by Indian villc They had been turned upsidedown and used as supports for th< structure of the shack. Many of them were worth hundfeds of dol lars each to collectors. The mine itself is to be worked by classes from the college who are studying mining for-the practical ex perience even if no gold is found. Ligurians Settled in Genoa The origin of Genoa, like that of many other towns founded before the Christian era, is lost in the re motest ages. According to tradi tion, the Ligurians gave up pastoral fife and came down to the sea, popu lating its coasts and forming the first nucleus whence originated the town, which afterward dominated the Mediterranean. Later the Li- gurians came in touch with the Greeks and the Phoenicians, with the Etruscans and the Carthagin- nd greatly increased commercial and naval porrer.
