Carrots and oranges contain "carotene," a yellow dye which, il absorbed by the body in excessive quantities, enters the skin and causes discoloration. This produces the yellow patches on the skin of diet faddists.

Pete is considered something of a character. And something of a horse trader, too. His reputation intrigued me, because as a dickerer, I fancy myself as no slouch either. Pete appeared the next morning, riding atop an express wagon which was loaded with implements and tools required by a man of diversified trades. One look into bis sharp, blue eyes and I knew the stories of Pete's shrewdness were well founded. "Mornin'," he said, and climbed down. "Understand you got a job you want done?" •' , "Ye&J' I said briskly, "I have. Come fflon^ and I'll show you." He followed me around the camp, and I pointed to the kitchen. "I'm going to pipe water from the spring up there down here," I said. "Can you give me a price on digging the ditch for pipes?" Pete scratched his chin. "What'* it wuth to you?" he asked. Well, I thought with secret delight, we're off. I appeared to meditate. "How would $2.00 be?" I said without batting an eye. Pete considered a minute. "I'll do it at that price," he said, "if you'll buy your pipe from me an* let me lay it." Aha! I thought. So that was it? He'd get my promise by digging the ditch for practically nothing, then soak me for the pipe. "We'll talk : W- •' 'j • j about the pipe later," I told him FOR SAEJ&--!0noJi*)^toti Chevrolet] crisply.

I'll dig her for tS.Ofc tl you're satisfied, I guess ywU Itt me sell you the pipe." I was puzzled, %till. So ^far as I could see, thttte was no catch to the proposition-. 1 picked up a spade and sctaof^d out a shovelful of earth to chow him how and where I wanted Uie ditch to run. "Ysou writer fellers," said Pete, sometimes have a time of It gettin' material forsyOur stories." ^That's right,'4 I said, thinking of the rumors I'd heard about his fund of material. "Know any good stories?" "Well," said Pete slowly, "I heard about a Jigger the other day who shot his sister because she was goin' to marry a guy he didn't like." "What?" I said. "Impossible! Don't try to make me believe anything like thatl" "Matter of record." He shrugged. "Reckon you can check up on the facts if you're so minded." He picked up a shovel and drove it into the ground. "But good lord," 1 .exclaimed, "that didn't actually happen?" "Think what yuh please. Thought mebbe you'd like to hear about it." He had begun to dig oft at a tangent and I called his attention to this fact, spading up the earth in a direct line with the spring. "What was the man's name?" I asked. "Newell Leighton. Seems he'd had a rival in school. Rival's name was Bates. Bates was bigger'n him and a kind of bully. Always taking credit for things Leighton done an' tormentin' him on the least provocation. Leighton he got so after a while he hated this Bates guy, an' you couldn't blame him. Swore that sometime he'd get his revenge. "Well, the two of 'em graduated from school and went out into the world. Only before they went Bates give Leighton a good beatin' just on general principles. There was a girl on hand, name of Eva Hatch. Leighton, he was in love with Miss Hatch and he'd taken her to the commencement dance. Bates was drunk and he insulted the girl; and Leigh' ton, he made objections, which was just what Bates wanted, cause it gave him an excuse. Everyone thought Leighton a coward because he didn' try to fight back. But t'want that. Early in the fight Leighton had broke his arm, an' he never let on. But pretty soon he fainted, an' even Eva Hatch laughed at his weakness." Pete paused to light his pipe and I waited anxiously. Here was a story worth listening to. "About seven years later," Pete continued, "Bates met Leighton's sister and fell in love with her, and she with him. Bates was a changed man, but this didn't make no difference to Leighton. Soon's he found' out about it he went raging mad. He said she'd never marry that skunk. He'd kill her first. "Well, Mabel, that was Leighton'a sister's name, was a spirited little thing, an' she up and told him to go to blazes, as she loved Mr. Bates and no one else could make her happy. Leighton, he near went insane. He w&s older'n her, and because their maw and paw was both dead he felt he had a right to tell her what to do. "But Mabel wouldn't even listen^ An' pretty soon she ups an' leaves him, gets out of the house, says she's going to Mr. Bates. Well, Leighton follows her, sneaks up under a window an' sees her in Bates' arms. An' he shoots her. Folks said he was crazy, an' ,1 guess maybe he was, because wheti Bates came tearin' out of the house he finds Leighton a-sittin' on the grass laughin' his fool head off. Which don't stop JSates a-tall in what he intends to do, because he chokes Leighton to death then an' there." Pete Walker knocked out his pipe, picked up his spade and headed for the express wagon. "Well, now you think over about that pipe," he said to me from the high box seat. "An' if you're the kind of chap I think you are, I'll get the job." I nodded, thinking deeply of the story he'd told. And so I paid Pete Walker his $2 and he drove on home. That night after supper I strolled out to look at the ditch, and it sud* denly occurred to me as I stood there that it was I who had done most of the digging. Pete Walker had talked and I had dug. I chuckled. That was shrewd all right. Well, let him think he'd put one over. | wgj |gtitffied jrith the bargam". Ana so I returned rnaoors and began jotting down notes on the story Pete had recited. After awhile, thinking to rest my mind and tackle the thing again later with a fresh viewpoint, I settled before the fireplace and picked up the current issue of a popular mag&Zlfie. I siil the wrapping, rolling it backwards 5Tid 6fcpe4 to the first story. Some* thing about the title and the illustritions arrested my attention. I read, and as I read a slow anger gripped me. For the yarn was the very story Pete Walker had repeated that afternoo'ft. So that Whs it? That's what he called being shrewd. I began to l&Ugh. And presently I stood up and went to the phone. After a moment I heard Pete's voice. "Pete," I said, "I've decided to buy that pipe from you, and let you lay it." He chuckled. "Knew you would," he said. "I figured you were that kind of a guy. You're shrewd." "Thanks," I said dryly, and hung up. TOO GOOD' young salesman was looking very depressed on his second day in his new job. "Come, come," said the sales manager, "don't look so down in the mouth. I know it's difficult at first, but you'll soon get on to it. "When you've had a little more experience you'll get along all right." "It isn't that," said the young man. "When I got home last night I practiced that sales talk on my wife and now I've got to buy her a vacuum cleaner!"

Pushing little Womaa* Around Custom in India There arc some places in the world where pushing the Little Woman around is a permissible pastime. One such place is that remote region in northwest India marked down on the maps as Waziristan. It is an old Wazlristanlan custom for husbands who dislike their wives, for (Hie reason or another, to have the women's noses cut off by the local barber. Sometimes, in the heat of anger, the amputation is done at home by the husband him* self and with whatever instrument comes to hand. If the legends of Waziristan are true, it is ordinarily the wayward wife who gets too friendly with anmother man who pays for her folly, with her proboscis. But, it is said, lesser offenses--such as nagging too long and too loudly--also have been paid for with severed snouts. The old-line Waziristans defend their ancient custom by pointing out that there are other places in the world where law and order was maintained among the womenfolk of the community by methods that may seem a little drastic to outsiders. In Siberia, for example, there is a tribe called the Hanghis. The Hanghi men are absolute masters of their wives and it is their habit, when they want to chastise the girls, to take off all their clothes and lock them out in the Arctic weather for awhile to think things over. During this cooling-off process the women are denied anything to eat --and if they run away they are beaten, not by their husbands but by the old women of the tribe who seem to find a grim delight in inflicting a punishment which most of them have suffered at one time or another. Maybe the Waziristans know about an unpleasant social custom on the Pacific island known in the atlases as Busy. In this little insular empire the menfolks are the bosses and when they get miffed with their wives they toss them into the muck of a pig sty and force them to take their meals with the hogs until they decide to behave.

They say that both: the sun and the earth are thousand* of millions of years old. A million years is a long time. It is about 140 times as long as thewhole period of written history, from ancient Egypt down to Represent time. The idea of the sun "falling' fcway" from the earth is not a good' tfne. All through the history of the earth, the earth has been close enough to the sun to get a supply of light and heat for plants and animals. There have been glacial periods, but always large parts of the earth have been fit for use. The sun is moving through space, but it carries the earth and all the other planets with it. It is true that the sun might explode at some time in the distantfuture. Yet if it has burned smoothly for thousands of millions of yean^ it is likely to keep on doing so flor millions and millions of yegrs. •f rffTVKI|P An excellent ideal for the homemaker in any cleanliness campaignla that prescribed by Benjamin Franklin for his own conduct 20& years ago. The son of a soapmaker, and also a dealer in soap at one time, Franklin exhorted: 'Tolerate no uncleanliness in bodyr clothes, or habitation." It's still a fine modern motto. Take, first, the point of protecting the home against insect pests, flies in particular. As everyone knows, flies and other vermin are among the most culpable of diseasecarriers, pnd revel in dirt and filth. Nothing attracts them more than the sour odor of an unwashed refuse can, or any smell of decay or neglect. With equal ease, they plant their germ-laden feet upon the garbage can or upon the rim of a cup about to be lifted for a drink. What is true of the fly is equally true of other insect pests--the whole numerous tribes of ants, roaches, beetles, bugs, fleas--for them, simple and cheap soap and water cleanliness is the ounce of prevention, worth a pound of expensive cur*.
