Instead of indulging in a good, fast game of handball, ufter a hard day's work at ledgers and accounts, the white-collar boys oovfc spend half an hour putting their eye muscles in shape. "Relieves strain--makes yon sleep like a baby," they say. As one member of a Toung Men's Eye association describes the process to me, it appears that one's chin is firmly held in a harness which keeps the head from turning, and one Is called upon to goggle at various moving colored patterns.

"Back and forth went the tall, and whack, whack the great trees tell with a mighty swish. And they went on cutting trees and not wasting a motion. "But the trees the ox cut flown with his tail fanned him until he began to sneeze. Paul didn't think It would hurt the blue ox. but he didn't want such violent sneezes to waste. So one of bis axmen carved a gigantic wooden windmill and set It In front of the ox ever# time they stopped. " 'Kerchoo I Kerchoo 1' the bine ox would sneeze and 'whiz!' would go the windmill.

Between the ages of forty and sixty ones "pet peeves" are "at peak." Savants of the International congress of psychology announce that the child, and the young man and woman, are fairly broad-minded about annoyances. Having survived such trivialities until, forty, one is inclined to let go, and it is from that time until one is sixty, that you should guard against becoming slave to your dislikes. A better plan would be to remove one's self from the scenes of temptation. If one dislikes mosquitoes, he should try to find a place where there aren't any. If a man, and it irks>/ou to dunce with stout ladies, crasli tbe high school dances and sub-deb parties. If, now in the thirties, you develop murderous tendencies when tha saxophone player next door tunes ufL move away before forty, unless you wish to give your murder complex play.

That may have been so years ago, but in these days of film and talkie rights the wives play important parts. The author writes his novel, sell* it to a publisher, magazine, or both, and calls it a day. Whereupon the wife undertakes to sell the film rights. Aim an author's wife at any motion picture magnate and he will flinch in terror^for these women certainly know how to talk business. They ate tbe ones who get big prices, whereas soft-headed writers are reputably content with modest sums.

Iwl Bees May Be Thrifty but They're Dishonest Bast Lansing, Mich.--Bees, whlcb bave always been literature's shining example of Industry and thrift, are now accused by specialists i^apiculture at Michigan State college, of robbery. As a further mark of criminal traits, the specialists point out that tbe bees rob the weak and defenseless members of tbelr species. Colonies which have too few members to defend their honey stores fall victims to Insect highwaymen if the apiarist is not careful in handling his bees. Owners of bees are advised to contract the entrances of hives occupied by weak colonies. This enables the few defenders within the hive to bar their door to predatory strangers. If the hives of weak colonies must be opened, tbe work should be done as rapidly as possible. English Wanderer Models House After Submarine London.--M.

Five years ago tonight, Harlan Moore bad celebrated New Year's eve in this same city with some school friends. A oitter quarrel witb bis father had followed bis arrival home, across the river, out in the country, early the next morning. Later that day angry. hurt and somewhat ashamed he had left home uhnotlced, fully determined never to return. Tbe years since bad been bard, and now almost pennl less, without work and discouraged, a desperate plan, a way out of worry and want for a while, bad suggested Itself. It was dangerous--but then no one cared what happened to bim-- and the valuejfrf those jewels would keep him for s long time. He stepped out and felt tha now softly falling snow, which filled the unusually warm air, on his face. But an officer approaching drove bim back. His heart beating hard and yet cold, he wondered If be had tbe courage to see the plan through. His hand tightened on the object In his pocket as new guests arrived. Ha would wait until midnight though. Just before the usual din proclaimed tba New Year's birth, tbe orchestra in the cabaret swung into the strains of "Goin' Home." Scenes long forgotten flooded Hsrlaa Moore's memory. Again be saw the old home, and again tbe pained look in his father's eyespained to think that his son could come home in such condition. As memories crowded fast on eacb other he wiped s mist from his eyes. He jerked himself up quickly--be couldn't he a baby--besides be hadn't done anything wicked--hadn't -- something whispered, but be bad planned ta As tbe dread of facing the years ahc>a<1 gripped him, tbe temptation came to see his plan through and take tba consequences. Added to the other memories the longing expressed In bis mother1* last letter served to sharpen bis wisb for home, and before be realized it he was rushing down the street. In one pocket was enough money for the ferry trip and across tbe river be could walk home. Tbe object In his other pocket he would throw Into, tbe river and bare that off bis mind. "This is a real New Year,? ha happily exclaimed. Jnst then he bumped into some one--"Where do you think you are going 1** the person growled, and he lookec* Into the eyes of a police officer, but there was no fear in his voice or eyes.

I have tried many different remedies and medicines and nothing helped me until 1 began taking Konjola. My food did not digest properly and gases formed in my stomach. ^1 was subject to stomach and abdominal pains and would often become short of breath. "I began taking Konjola a short times ago and have taken four bottles. Almost from the beginning I felt an improvement in my condition. The accumulating gases no longer bother me and bloating no longer occurs after meals. My appetite has improved and I am getting strength. I am still using Konjola and shall continue to do so.

Humble Cow Looked CNi as Evidence of Wealth In the early centuries the cow was looked upon as a source of wealth a* well as food. One of the first words for money was "pecunla," from the Greek word "pecus," meaning cattle or herd, and the first coins made In Greece and Rome were stamped with the cow's head. Another interesting connection between cattle and gold Is found In the story of the discovery of gold in California. People came overland by pack train, around the isthmus of Panama, and in sailing vessels around the Horn. More people meant more cows and to meet the growing demand, large numbers of cows were brought from Kentucky and England. In the early mining days these sold for $300 to $500 a bead--so a cow was almost as good as a co'd mine.--Kansas City ffimea. Bmmmm In Solf Pity Self pity Is a most degrading habit.
