EPR Getting rid of a body was not con- sidered a very pleasant sight, so the friends of the dead buried the bodies at night. . In order to see just whot they were doing the friends carried big torches, which were called "funes," from the Latin word "funa." That word "funes" has stuck all speak of a funeral we really speak of torches. Scissors were unknown two thou- sand years ago, and previous to that era all cutting was done with a knife, Some knives were made especially sharp and were called razors because they were used by men for cutting hair and beards. Beards and hair were allowed to grow quite long, but when they be- came too long they were cut down with these razors. Shaving the chin did not come into fashion until nearly a thousand years 8go, and then men shaved only their chins, evidently to keep their whiskers out of the soup, at first did their cutting with sharp stones, and as these would not cut hairs the various races pulled the hairs out as fast as they appeared, This discouraged the hairs of the face and Nature began to stop mak- ing facial hairs, And this, by the way, is one of thel- most interesting things about Nature. Tails of rats are usually long, act ing as feelers as well as balances. All rats'in their natural condition have long tails.

Now this great scientist has a race of tailluss rats, because nature has be- eome so discouraged that she stopped putting tails on them. ~ Why should cats, squirrels, foxas and sach animals have such big and long tails? : . Because they need them in their business, Cut the tail off a' cat and he can't walk on the top of a fence to save his life. 3 He can't balance himself. Cut the tail off a squirrel and he would fall from a tree the first time he tried to run along the branches. . Watch a cat as he strolls along on the thin, narrow top of a fence. Watch his tail swing fron side to side as he balances himself, just a little twist, but enough to keep him from falling. Dogs and foxes, as well as many other animals, run very rapidly and turn corners at full speed. Turning sharp corners is the great- 'est stunt of the fox, who suddenly changes his course to throw his ene- mies off his track. Dogs do the same thing because, while they are mora or less tame and had to turn as does the fox. Try to get a bobtailed dog to turn a sharp corner at full speed and see "He cannot do it, and if he tries he will, just as he makes the sharp turn roll over and over--all because he has 20 tail to give him the balance neces- sary to turn sharply. All bobtailed dogs slow up when they come to corners, and if they do turn they have $0 make a wide sweep in order to escape being thrown. eel . Unsuitable mechanically.

By comparing figures for 1900 and for 1930, Dr. John Dollard offers per- | centages to show that almost every economic activity of the family, from tending the furnace to planning the interior decoration, is gradually be- ing put into the hands of specialists outside the home, as well as educa- tion, religious training and recrea: tional and other functions. His con- clusion, however, is that this trend does not necessarily mean the lecline of the family, but results in an ex- tension of its interests. Some of the contrasts sketched by Dr. Dollard the university reports as follows: "Where formerly women remained at home, doing house and family work, with only one woman out of every seven employed outside the home, one woman in every four was a breadwinner in 1920, and out of every three working women In 1929 one was married. "Between 1900 and 1923 the aver age attendance of children in public scheols increased 100 per cent, and expenditures for public schools in. creased 4.1 times as fart as did the number of families. Teachers are taking children away from their yar ents for longer periods and at ten- derer azes. | "Between 1922 aud 1227 -the nvm- ber of trained workers in rrian io creation programs increased from 11,000 to.20,000. The weekly attend- ance at moving picture theatres tripled between 1922 and 1930. "The number of Sunday school scholars increased 4F per cent. dur- ing the last 30 years and the average contributions of church members in- dicated that at least 50 per cent. in. crease was made in purchasing pow- er, while such practices as saying grace at meals declined. "The ass of certain functions by the family need not mean its de- cline, however. It will rather offer the opportunity for a more effective integration," Dr. Dol'ard declares. "The disintegration of family func- tions," he observes, "Is undoubtedly accompanied by widened interests." res Food For Thought The professor was lecturing on na- tural history. "Yes," he said, "when I get close to Nature it makes me "eel like a Nttle grub." Smurt Aleck shook his head. "What, only a little, sir?" he spoke up. "It makes me feel like a lot. Anyway, when I'm in the country I eat like a horse." MOSS GOLD MINES Send for our Special Circular covering this Interesting Speculation F. W. Macdonald & Co.
