'-- Victor Demoranville, perhaps the most disgusted man in the world, was jobless, hungry, cold and homeless, so lie decided the only way out of it all was to get Into Jail somehow. He picked up a brick and threw It at a large store window, but to his amazeniet^t the brick broke and not the window. Disgustedly Demoranville told the-proprietor, but the owner said that he would, not do anything abdut it. Finally he went to the police^stagraney. They, too, turned a deaf ear on him because they couldn't prove that he had done any harm. When Demoranville left the station, however, he was still Jobless, cold, homeless,'but not hungry. A policeman took him to lunch and then sent hiito on his way.

Gooctrick Washington.--One hot day 111'June, 1930, a ttventy-five^year-old Chinese youth left his father's house In Shanghai for a walk. Three years and seven months later he arrived at Washington. ^ . p For . a year and a half Pooh Tuck Ming wandered through the regions of French Indo-Chlna, Slam, the Malay peninsula, Persia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt--13,000 miles. • The intense heat of the Asiatic desert sun forced him to travel only at night to conserve his water supply. Arabs waylaid him on his last night in the desert and robbed him of all belongings except a highly prized album which Poon pleaded to be allowed to keep. The album is filled with official stamps, snapshots and autographs. In Indlq, Poon chatted with Gandhi and was presented with a piece of cloth woven by the mahatma himself. A quaint belief of the Brahmans and the Hindus nearly ended his jaunt prematurely. The natives saw no reason why a disbeliever should eat. They relented, however, and also presented him with a brass gong with which to protect himself against wild beasts. On to Egypt weht Poon Tuck Ming, and thence to Greece byvboat. From Greece, Poon began the big push--a steady march through 14 scattered countries. Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Hollahd, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and England were visited in that order by the youthful adventurer. Sailing from Liverpool, he crossed the ocean and arrived safely in New York, completing the last stage of his Journey. Just for a "breather," he walked to Washington, stopping long enough to rest up as a week-end guest of the Chinese ambassador' before heading for California. i/Vitamin Family Serves * Mankind in Many Ways Vitamin A is necessary for growth and reproduction; it maintains resistance to infections of different kinds, and promotes good health.

Spirits Guide an Aged Hand in Art Designs Eshbach, Pa.--A new form of "hex spirits" are working In Berks county, it appears, witbf reports that Mrs. Elizabeth Spitler, seventy-one, Is producing amazing, colorful designs through the guidance of "spirits," Stranger than the fact that "spirits" move her hand and form the fantastic designs is the knowledge that shre never has had any artistic training. Fifteen years pgo she became a spiritualist "Shortly after "that,dhe said, "I was sitting alone in the kitchen. Myhead started to buzz, I could feel, around me in the air, things brushing my head. They were spirits;, good and bad, fighting for the upper hand. "Something told me to take up a pencil. I drew a curved line. Then my hand froze to the paper. I don't know how long I sat there. When the folks came home I ha<| the design done." Since then the aged woman has drawn many other designs, some large and some small, and all at the direction of the "spirit," she said. „ Strawberry, "Strayberry," Known in Victorian Days "No vegetable production of the colder' latitudes is at all comparable with the strawberry in point of flavor." Thus wrote & well-known authority ofli fruit in earjy Victorian days. The strawberry was brought under cultlvaMon during the early part of the Nineteenth century, though some wise folk had attempted It on a small "scale previously. In the days of the expert quoted above, the cultivation of strawberries was largely carried on In London, notably at Camberwell, and a little way out. Large quantities were grown at Isleworth and Twickenham. Women' tramped up from Wales and her colliery districts for the season, and be* tween the strawberry groynds and Covent garden, with a heavy load on the head walked about 40 miles a day. It has been suggested that the straw* berry owes its name to the straying habit of the plant. It was certainly pronounced strayberry In early times. The raspberry is said to derive its name from its rough and bristly appearance.-- Montreal Herald. , Robert Martin spent several days the past week in Chicago.- " Mi's.
