On a*South Carolina road last ; winter, a gray fox answered ttie question with a burst of speed at the rate of 26 miles an hour for about 100 yards, gradually slowing to a. speed of about 21 miles an hour at the end of a< half mile. Clarence Cottarfi, Of the bureau of biological survey, was inspecting wildlife- areas in the Southeast, when the fox jumped ahead of his car. Cottam, interested in 611 phases of wildlife, tooled the horn to encourage the fox to extend himself, and, watching the speedometer, followed close^ He found he had to throttle down as the fox lost speed after the first spurt. • ' , " How- does the speed of this fox compare with the best efforts by men? Sprinting at 26 miles an hour the fox went the first hundred yards in a shade less than 8 seconds. The world record for the 100-yard dash is 9.4 seconds. At 21 miles an hour the fox would go half a mile in a little less than 1 minute and 26 seconds. The fastest half mile by a man is just under 1 minute 50 seconds. How to Gel Important Minerals in Vitamins Sere are six rules for insuring the necessary daily quota^of important minerals in vitamins: 1. Use whole grain breakfast cereals ahd bread as much as possible. 2. See that each child of the family gets a quart of milk a day and each adult at least a pint, either to drink or cooked in the food. 3. Eat a raw leafy vegetable or fruit salad once or twice daily. 4. Eat liberal portions of at least two cooked vegetables besides potatoes* daily, one of them of the WHY=*5= Burns and ™ up *Sk' . k . isters Require Careful Attention. Dry heat and strong acids or alkalis "Will cause burns, while similar injuries produced by hot liquids or steam) are known as scalds. Although the local effect of these may be considerable, burns and scalds produce shock in direct proportion to their extent. In addition to this nervous disturbance, severe burns or scalds set up, infl^rtirh'ation in the digestive tract and serious results may follow. Great care must therefore be taken in the treatment of these injuries, and it is most important to exclude air from the wounds. For these reasons, when you are dressing a wound o£ tljis description do not expose more of the in* jured surface than you can avoid, and never break blisters, advises a physician in Pearson's London Weekly. The simplest treatment consists oft)ieces of lint spread with boracic ointment. Tannic acid, in the form of a spray or jelly, is now. widely used and works well. If the burn has been caused by an acid, such as vitriol or spirits of salt, the burn should first of all be drenched with washing soda dissolved in water, but if an alkali like caustic soda has caused the burn, wash the wound with < a solution of vinegar and water. RED AND GREEN LIGHTS daily and a fairly generous amount of butter. 6. Eat different kinds of vegetables and fruits each day. Why Round, Square Fane* Posts Are Recommended The question of whether „a post imbedded in the ground should be round ojc square would, on the face of it, appear to be of no particular significance. 0 A study of the question by wood experts of the Department of Agriculture has disclosed, however, that the matter is important. The factor which determines the lasting quality of the post is the amount and type of the heartwood of the tree from which the post is made. In the case of treated posts, the round type is green leaf variety. _L£referred, but where the post is 5. Eat at least one or two egg^ placed with the wood untreated, the How Niagara Falls Are U|MM The Niagara Falls Chamber of Commerce says that the lights at Niagara Falls are operated with a carbon arc which is automatically fed throughout the period of light- The carbon is good for about two d one-half hours. As to the power thj»se lights, each unit ranges from 80,000,000 to better than 100,- 000,000 candlepower, depending upon the adjustment of the lights and the concentration of the ray. It is perfectly possible to step one of these lights up to 200,000,000 candlepower. The averagp amount of illumination Which is secured from the entire battery is 1,440,000,000 candlepower. square post is better. The advantage of the square post lies in the fact that the sapwood is largely removed in the manufacture of the post and nails and staples are driven directly into the heartwood, thus assuring that they will not loosen through early disintegration as in the case of nails driven into sapwood. : : 'X r •' !l" . * : ¥ p - How to Make People fJke Ton Dale Carnegie, author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People," gives six rules for making people like you: Become genuinely interested in other people. Sinile! Remember that a person's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. Talk in terms of the other person's interest. Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely. Why Socrates Got a Reprieve Socrates' death was postponed for 30 days until the return of the sacred ship which had been sent to Delos on its periodical mission. Delos was the seat of the great Ionic festival to whi<ch the various states were accustorrfced to dispatch annually a sacred embassy in celebration of the anniversary of the god Apollo, who was held by tradition to have been born on that island. During the consecration of this ceremony, all public matters were held in abeyance, including the death of Socrates. How to Make Concrete Hold New concrete will not stick to old. It will hold only when the old surface is so roughened that the new will lock itself into place on hardening. The only possibility is to roughen, the surface of the old sidewalk with a sharp-pointed hammer, or otherwise. The old concrete should be thoroughly soaked with water when the new is laid, and the new surface should be Kept wet for some days for proper curing. How Bears Differ According to a naturalist a grizsty, often known as a silver tip, is as different from a black bear as a black bear is from a coyote. One sure way of telling the difference when one sees a bear is to climb a tree. If the bear follows one up, it is a black bear and if the bear, waits two or three hours at the bottom of the tree, it is a grizzly. How to Banish Dampness ^here there is any suspicion of dampness in a room that is seldom used, place a block of camphor in each corner.

Nearly all are blends. Teas are blended to produce flavor and also to permit uniformity year after yean Tea from one plantation may have an entirely different taste this year compared with last. Climatic conditions can account for the change. The job of the tea taster is to find teas which produce, when blended, the flavor which the customers of tea merchant have come to like and expect.

The cake also may have been removed from the oven before it was thoroughly baked. Why Fuses Blow Otit Fuses are electrical safety valves. When one blows out, it is a warning of overload or defective wiring or appliances. The fault cannot be corrected by inserting a larger size, or overrated, fuse. Always replace a blown fuse with one of proper rating. It is your protection against fires and accidents. Whenever a friend begins to be real friendly with you, look out for the pocketbook. Folks who sit down ami waste life's golden moments will miss the silver lining. Great men speak little of their achievements. What they have done speaks for itself. The only real obstacle in the road to success is the desire to receive instead of to give.

Its stature is no higher than that of a medium-sized dog. They come in two sizes. One is called a Chinese barking deer, the other type grows about six inches higher £nd has some markings of white. An inhabitant of Southern and Eastern Asia, these little reddish-brown creatures scurry over the ground in a frightened fashion, the name was given them by sportsmen of India because of the sharp barking cry they give when alarmed. Like their larger brother the bucks have a small set of antlers, which when fully grown have branches that curve inward and downward at -the tip. Mountains in Scotland ^Scotland, which is a small country, contains wide valleys, immense moors, great estuaries and lofty mountains, which give an appearance of vastness. While these lofty mountains are found to measure a height of barely 4,500 feet, the towering paradox is explained that they rise from sea level so that the full majesty is visible to the eye, giving the appearance of great heights.' Temperature in a Volcano Actual tests at Kilauea volcahb, on the island of Hawaii, showed that emanating lava had a temperature of 1,100 to 1,200 degrees Centigrade. It is not known what the temperature would be at the heart of a volcano, but experiments indicate that it is considerably lower than many experts have believed. LaVa has to reach 900 degrees Centigrade before eruption occurs.
