The breasts of males are orange or brown, while the females breasts are often a dull gray. There are red-breasted robins in England, and perhaps our early poets were thinking of them. (Public Ledger--WNU Service.) ^Neighbor SAYS: Brown all leftover pieces of bread in the oven and crush with a rolling pin. Keep in a glass jar until needed. • • * Water azaleas by immersing pot in a pail of water and allow water to soak through soil for one-half hour. • » • Before frying potatoes dust in flour. They will then brown better and the taste wiH be much improved. * • • Chipped, polychrome frames may easily be repaired with sealing wax, which comes in all shades. Spread wax while hot and mold into shape. * \* * When cleaning papered walls make a pad of cheesecloth and rub paper over lightly. You will be surprised to see how clean the paper wiQ look. » • • When the children play in the snow pull a pair of heavy wool socks over their shoes before putting on overshoes.

Airplane Machine Gn Roland G. Garros, French aviator, is credited with the invention of the synchronized airplane machine gun. He is known in France.as the father of air dueling, which changed the mode of air fighting considerably. In February of the year 1915 he mounted a gun in such a position that it was able to fire through the propeller of an airplane, which ! was a decided advantage over the I enemies' mode of fighting. In 18 days he is credited with shooting down five enemy planes. He was brought down on the day of his last i victory, April, 19, 1915, and was ; taken prisoner by the Germans. He | was unable to destroy his plane, i which the Germans copied, and his invention was no longer a secret. Honest Stranger John B. Webb of Tonawanda, N. Y., received a letter posted in that town.
