Don't let it slow your starting, waste your gasoline. Stop it where it starts--in the upper motor. Stop it by using Tydol, the fast-starting gasoline that contains a special topcylinder oil. This oil, blended into every gallon, constantly lubricates and protects wives, pistons and cylinders. They work smoothly, easily, instantly, when you have Tydol in your tank. What's more, this gasoline is a marvel at fast-starting... and it costs no more than an ordinary fuel. m Ancestors of Cats Were Worshiped by Ancients Did you ever want to know where cats came from? The pet cats we have. You can say they came from Europe, but that doesn't really answer the question. The ancestors of our cats were wild cats, just like the wild cats to existence in Europe and Northern Africa. But these animals aren't like th^ American wildcats, declares a writer io the Washington, Star, fhese "ancestor cats" are pretty much the same as our shorthaired ones. The European species is called "Felis sylvestris" by scientists and the Egyptian species* is "Felis oereawa/" Probably the Egyptian wild cats , were domesticated first. Way, way back in the dawn of history, the Egyptians worshiped their tame "wild" cata. Temples were built for them, priests cared for them and the/cats "ran at will all over the. cities. „• • - But even if tee cats made a fearful noise, nobody wanted to do anything about it, because all the people had been taught that the cats weri gods and it wouldn't do at all to make the gods angry. So the cats were everywhere and lived very easy lives. In the old Egyptian tombs mummified cats have been found. Probably some of these cats were carried in ships to Europe and there they crossed with the European wild cat. And we get our fancy longhaired and special-color cats from these by selective breeding. Mogul Diamond Is Among Gems in Moscow Exhibit In an unpretentious room in the Moscow treasury, there is a simple glass case that contains the Great Mogul diamond, one of the largest in the world. This priceless stone, formerly called the Orlov in honor of the count who ran many risks to procure it for Catherine II's collection, has a long and colorful history. Originally weighing 300 carats, it adorned the throne of the Persian Nadir Shah until 1772, at which time it passed into the hands of the extravagant Russian empress. Nadir Shah, to gratify a whim, decided to have it cut differently. The recutting was performed, but the Great Mogul lost 100 priceless carats. However, still flawless and of brilliant luster, it ranks among the leading diamonds of the world. The treasury building's collection consists of several thousand precious stonM. Afghanistan tribes bought secretly in China to grace the crown of the Empress Catherine, chrysolites gathered from the Red sea by Crusaders, rare emeralds and rubies, diamonds famous throughout Indian and Persian history, all having curious legends of their own, are set simply in black velvet casings in the treasury museum. Lightning and Thmiar Lightning' and thuilder are simultaneous, but, lightning, particularly the kind designated "heat" lightning, may occur so far away from the observer that the thunder is not audible; on the other hand, the lightning and the thunder occur simultaneously. If the lightning is at any distance from the observer, however, and if thunder is heard at all, it always occurs after the flash is seen, the interval of time between the two being greater in proportion to the distance at which the flash took place. This is because the speed of light is so great (186,330 miles per second) that the flash is seen practically at the same instant it occurs, whereas the speed of sound ia not very great (around 1,100 feet per second). * The next cold morning you start your motor, hot vapors will strike cold metal. Condensation will take place. You will see clouds of steam and drops of water pour out of the exhaust. That's "Cold Sweat"! You only see it. . . but your motor feels it. You can measure in a drinking glass the water that accumulates from "Cold Sweat" outside your motor. But inside your motor, this water, unless checked, rusts and corrodes valves and other vital parts.

The air was written in 1619 by a composer with the appropriate name of John Bull--although our national nickname comes from another source. The tune has also been used for a national song in Denmark, Switzerland, and Germany. To complete the list, it was also allied to the words of a song popular in the Seventeenth century, "My country, 'tis ofthee." --; • c«t. i»ir hr Tid» w«ut Anocuud ou cuuw Bread and Butter Letter Bread and butter letter is the popular name given to a brief note of thanks written by a departed guest to his host or hostess. The term is particularly applicable to the letter of appreciation which a person is expected to write to a friend after having upent a few days under his reof. It received its name from the fact that the writer of such a letter has enjoyed his friend's "bread and butter," (hospitality). Such a letter should be posted within two days after the guest's departure. Washington.--Geography is in the making out in San Francisco bay. A man-made island a mile long and nearly a mile wide is rising from the shoals between Oakland and San Francisco, to become the site for the Goldeq Gate World's fair of 1939. "Located in the shadow of, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge, and just a few whitecaps from the towering Golden Gate bridge, the exposition island represents another important engineering achievement in a region famous for doing things ifi a big way," says the National Geographic society. "The new island project is comparable, in some respects, tp such outstanding 'human miracles' as Davis island, Tampa, Jla.; Governor's island extension, New York harbor; the Portland, Ore., airport; lower Potomac park, Washington, jp. C.; and the dikes built to close in the Zuiderzee in The Netherlands. Sacked From Shoals. ^ " 'Treasure Island,' as the exposition site has been named, was literally sucked frorrt the shoals uf San Francisco bay. Reclamation work on the site began in February, 1936, when United States army engineers, in co-operation with exposition workers, started the big dredging job. Eleven giant dredges, 1,000 men, and a daily 24- hour schedule were employed for a year and five months to dig 25,000,- 000 cubic yards of sand from the floor of the bay and pump it into a huge square, rimmed by a stone seawall more than three miles long. "The island rests on a shallow area formerly from six to twentyfive feet under water. The finished site will rise 13 feet above the surface. During the construction job, approximately 100,000 cubic yards of black bay sand were pumped into the seawall enclosure each day. "Today it stands 90 per cent completed, and engineers predict that the final surfacing will be finished3 this month. After this, the 400-acre site will be given a bath. Bay sand must be "unsalted' before trees, shrubs and flowering plants can be successfully transplanted. This will be done by a process called 'leaching,' which consists of keeping the ground continually soaked and drained with fresh water until'"the last bit of salt has washed back into the bay. To Be Airport After Fair. "At the conclusion of the World's fair in 1939, the island will be transformed into a municipal airport to serve the San Francisco-Oakland area. The site will be cleared of all structures except a permanent administration building and two hangars, 200 by 300 feet each, which will serve as exhibit buildings during the ftir. "The island is connected with the San Francisco-Oakland bridge by a 110-foot causeway capable of accommodating 3,000 vehicles an hour. On the island will be parking space for 12,000 automobiles. Water supply will be provided by pipeline from the San Francisco system to a 4,000,000-gallon reservoir on Yerba Buena island, adjacent to the exposition site. "Already the big land patch has affected tides and currents in the bay, according to United States army engineers and experts of the United States coast and geodetic survey, who have been taking daily measurements of tides and currents for the lajrt month. Whether the altered flow will affect ship channels by sand and silt deposits has not yet been determined. "The exposition, which will open February 18, 1939, and run through December 2 of the same year, is a $40,000,000 project, of which $7,- 200,000 has been provided by the federal government, $5,000,000 by the state government of California, and $7,500,000 by private subscription. The remainder will come from admissions, leasing of exhibit space, etc. Exposition officials estimate that at least 20,000,000 persons will see the fair during its 288-day rim." Joseph P. Schaefer, Sr., son of the late John and Barbara Schaefer, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Adams, near Ringwood, Nov, 9,, 1937, death being caused by a heart attack. He was born Jan. 22, 1855, near Johnsburg, and always made his home in that vicinity. Ha yn& married to Mrs. John Her gott in 1891 at Johnsburg, Four children were born of this union, Mrs. Cecelia Adams, of Ringwood; Joseph M. Schaefer, Spring Grove; Albert Schaefer, Chicago, and a son, George, who died Jan. 2, 1925. He is also survived by three stepchildren, Mrs. Jacob May, William and Arthur Hergott, ajl of Spring Grove; two sisters, Mrs. William Hay, McHenry and Mrs. George Rowing, Round Lake, and two brothers, Peter Schaefer, of Johnsburg and Math. Schaefer,, McHenry, His wife preceded him in death, Feb. 15, 1931. ' » •" He was a member of S& Mary's 'church, McHenry, and a charter member of the Catholic Order of Foresters. Funeral services were held from St. Mary's church, in this city, at 10 o'clock Friday morning, Msgr. C. S. Nix, officiating. Burial took place in' St. John's cemetery, Johnsburg.

The search is being constantly carried on to find some factor that may be held responsible but without any definite success. A test was recently made at Harvard Dental school wheire an instructor in operative dentistry and an assistant professor in oral medicine made a detailed Study of 110 cases of children who came under their observation for caries or tooth decay. These investigators found statistical evidence that boys suffer more than girls froqi tooth decay. Examination of ninety-eight cases showed that fiftyone girls, with an average age of 7.8 years, had an average of 8.1 cavities an individual, while fortyseven boys, with an average age of 6.0 years, had an average of 13.7 cavities an individual. Twenty cases including the five best and five worst among boys and girls showed that the high caries among boys averaged 32.2 and among girls 16.8, and in the low caries group the boys, averaged 2.6 while the girls had no cavities. 1 Heredity, diet "and a large number of other factors were studied without finding any positive correlation with tooth decay. The only items that seemed to have any connection, as causes, were childhood diseases involving prolonged fever, the presence of aciduriq bacilli in the mouth, and to a slighter extent rickets in early childhood. Why Birds Build Nests in Which to Rear Young When a bird constructs a nest, it does so not for itself jbut for expected young, and wheto completed is the effect of a succession of actions to which the builder is impelled by an inner senle that they must be done, now and m a certain way, or no peace of mind is possible. These impulses we call instincts, says a writer in the Montreal Herald. Whether or not a young bird mother has any knowledge or expectation of what will happen to her eggs is doubtful. Is she amazed when living chicks break out of the mysterious egg-shells? Instinct tells her they must be cared for, and henceforth ghe will be helped in the responsibility thrust on her by noticing what other birds are doing. All young animals learn chiefly by imitation of their elders. Ostriches drop their eggs on the open desert and are content, while the oceanic birds deposit thei? treasures on bare ledges of seafronting cliffs, or on beaches or within holes and crannies. In |act, a very large proportion of all the birds in the world do not make anything that could be called "nest." Why We Eat Glue If anyone asked you to have a helping of glue you'd be most offended, wouldn't you? All the same, you eat lots of it every day--in meat, says a writer in Pearson's London Weekly. Boiled meat falls apart into fibres. In raw meat these fibres are glued together, and very tightly, too. To get this glue from the meat you must boil it until it falls to pieces. The material which glued the fibres together will then be dissolved in the water. Let this solution cool and it will turn to a jelly. If you then dry this jelly, what do you think you will have? Ordinary furniture glue. Why Wyoming Is Equality State Wyoming is nicknamed the Equality state because it was the first state in the Union to grant equal suffrage to women. Wyoming's first territorial legislature met in Cheyenne in December, 1869, and granted women the right to vote in all elections. In 1889 a state constitution was drawn up and submitted to congress, which was approved July 10, 1890, and this contained an equal suffrage clause. MISCELLANEOUS Sailmaker Ties 760 Knots Portland, Me.--James S. Cooljn, a sailmaker, believes he must be the world's knot-tying champion. He claims to be master of 760 varieties Of knots, splices and bends. Habits of the Kingfisher The handsome kingfisher digs holes in banks beside streams and lakes. Both male and female take part in the work, and often the hole is five or six feet long. The birds use their biils as well as their claws while digging, and their purpose is t6 provide a passage to the nest where they will rear their young. The nest is placed in a hollow at the end of the tunnel.

Such candies as fondants have very fine crystals which dissolve as soon as they are touched by saliva. These taste much sweeter than the candies made of large crystals which dissolve slowly and so reach the taste buds more gradually. Why the Match "Lights" A match "lights" when it is struck because the heat generated by friction when the match head is rubbed against a rough surface causes the chemicals comprising it to unite. This chemical action generates more heat which kindles the match stick, making the flame. Why We Need Finger Nails Finger nails have a great use for us, because by means of them our finger tips are made very much firmer, and in that way we can grasp objects better. They also enable us to pick* up very small objects which we would be unable to d without them. Why Coins Have Milled Ejt&es United States coins are milled around the edges to prevent chipping and also to prevent them from being fraudulently reduced in weight. Why Some Brieks Crumble Usually bricks that crumble have been underburned, are soft, and therefore susceptible to crumbling, as a result of dehydration.
