How Columbus Made an Egg Stand on One End The story of how Columbus made an egg stand on end rests on the authority of the Italian historian callers in the Joe Verhonek home at' Benzoni, observes a writer in the Stains May Not B« Detected hi Some Fabrics. Many stains are mixtures of several things, such as the cream, milk and sugar in ice cream. A fat sol-; vent will dissolve the fat in the cream, but not the sugar. This you can take out with lukewarm water, using it in the same way you do the solvent. Use the water sparingly; and repeat the treatment if necessary. If you are not certain bow water affects the fabric, try it out first under the hem, or on some other hidden part. When the fabric driers, use the solvent to remove the fat in the stain; the solvent will not do its work if the fabric is d»mj>. Stains resulting front coffee, foeo^ carbonated drinks, and frflN* juices should be taken out at once, if possible. Place the stained part over a {Jeep bow! and P°ur boiling water thifttigTi the stain. If there ?feam in the tea or coffee, use yat solvent on the stain--after the ric has become dry. Many of these stains contain tanpin or other coloring material which sets 'witi? aging and with Jieat o? soap. Tharfoth# some StfUB* &5y not be detected untu tn«; i fabric is washed or pressed, pry cleaners say that the tannin type of stain is one of their most,, difficult problems.

Brittle nails suggest a diet deficiency, probably lack of calciiim which can be supplied by three glasses of rich milk each day. When the flesh is chilled, nails turn blue. Swimmers should remember that when the finger sheaths are that color, it is time to come out of the water, warns a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. . The finger nail consists of the free edge or eave, the body of the nail, the lunular or half moon and the root that extends under the flesh. At the base of the jiail lies the matrix, which must be protected from injury. It is the factory where new nail material is made. Tiny overlapping scales push f o r t h , forming a s u b s t a n c e t h a t should be satin smooth. Applications of olive or mineral oil will keep it conditioned. .The outer surface of the nail is convex and the inner surface concave, so the little sheath fits the finger perfectly. The nail itself is nevertheless tissue, but the matrix has a full equipment of nerves, lymph and blood vessels. Washington, August 4--Stirred by the knowledge that governors in their own states now have resources with which to build a vast political machine through the enforcement of social insurance laws, the membership of the "yyorld's most exclusive club" -- the States Senate -- has been fevefi& tiy making appraisals over the weekend, ft is true, of course, that tchey have been attending to their legislative chores as the President pressure for favored legislative measures, btit the Suspicion that ail is not w«H with their political machines back home has been growing & Ml ftlftrir?- ing degree, a consequence, new evaluations have been placed on the activities of the Social Security Board in their relations Avith static fcovernjients.

In stead they are quite likely to dictate the identitVand conduct of the states' reprgsentatWee--ih the Senate unless their particular party craft goes aground due to bad management. The confirmation of a number of minor appointments to the Federal Social Security Board provided the Senate with an eye opener as the implications of this social welfare project were unfolded to their gaze. The talk of reprisals for voting against the Administration on the court reform also' stimulated senatorial studies in the direction of new trends in state politics. It was somewhat of a shock to the lawmakers when Indiana's governor after calling at the White House sentenced Senator Van Nuys to a political death because of - his rebellion against the White House on the judiciary issue. Then the antics of Arkansas' governor in setting up a unique system to insure his election to the seat vacated by the death of Senator ing Democratic governors most of whom rode into office on the coat tails of President Roosevelt. In the privacy of the cloakrooms Senators concede that the Administration's reprisals may come from this {ffrection.

Politicians contend that by establishing their heftfehr men as chairmen of state and county welfare Wards the governors of states ( have the upper hand. Under the new alignment grandfathers and grandmothers become the powerful patriarchs of old because as direct beneficaries of Federal'and state relief j it is up to them to persuade their sons and grandchildren to be grateful to the authorities for taking over the burden of maintenance of the aged and infirm. The amount of benefits-to be paid depends upon interpretations by state officials. It is claimed that an immense following may be built on gratitude to the administrators or th& party they represent. When you consider that there are now 1,870,(K)0 names on old age rolls receiving up to $30. per month, of which the Federal government contributes 50 per cent, it is apparent that something new in politics is due. The state hoards under the control of the governor have it in their power to be either drastic or liberal in their rulings regarding eligibility and thus haVe a fertile field for converting these votes into a strong machine. The same administrative forces have control over unemplovment compensation as administeerd by the states and have the power to provide unemployment benefits.

Hew Plays Were Enlivened The "mysteries," or religious plays of the Middle ages were often enlivened with a bit of fun to keep the spectators in good humor.

Why Auto Muffler Balks Dyke's Automobile Encyclopedia' states that if the muffler is not designed properly, or if it becomes clogged with soot, then the burned gases cannot be expelled as rapidly as they should be and the result is back-pressure, or a tendency for the gases to work back against the outcoming exhaust, and also a retention of heat, causing overheating of engine and a slight loss of power. This authority adds that the cut-out is now seldom used, except on speed cars or for hill climbing, because of -nise and also because of the fact that mufflers are now designed so that there is only a slight backpressure. The cut-out was used extensively during the early days because engines were minus power and mufflers were not properly de-; signed. Why Rye Bread Color Differs There are five grades of rye flour --white, light, medium, dark and extra dark. These vary according to the amount of outside coating removed. In making rye bread, from 5 to 50 per cent of rye flour is used and wheat flour is, added to it. The color of the bread depends on the type of rye flour available where it is made. Some bakers prefer one type and some another. Why Ton Should Tag Package* If you are inclined to leave packages, pocketbooks and umbrellas around promiscuously, why not see that they are always tagged with your name and address so that if they are lost you stand some chance of their being returned?

Why Maccabees Are So Called The association of Maccabees takes its name from the Maccabees, a chivalrous and religious people whose history is given in the apocryphal writings of the Old Testament.
