QABBY QERTIE re npHE beaver's tail, which is long A and broad, is used to slap the water as a signal of alarm and it also serves as rudder and propeller in swimming but it is not used as a trowel for building beaver dams, houses and tunnels. All this masonry is constructed with the beaver's front teeth and mouth. Mud, stones and building materials are carried through the water held between the front feet, close to the breast, and sticks are carried in the mouth. Mud is patted in like mortar by using the front feet--not the tail, as commonly believed. (Public Ledger--WNU Service.) SAYS: Maxell S7 ^Thursday Afternoon Bridge--Outflfli at Westlake% Solon Mills.

Miles of Canals There are 4,500 miles of canals ii< The Netherlands. An appreciative audience turned out Sunday evening, March 23, to enjoy the first concert which the McHenry Choral club, organized and directed by Miss Adele Froehlich, had to offer. Keeping in mind that the club did not organize until December, 1940, and thus had only three months during which to prepare these selections, those who attended were amazed to discover that there was such fine talent in this line to be found in McHenry. Accompanists for the group were Mrs. Carl Weber and MA. Chas. Goodell.' Another factor which made the evening one of such popular entertainment, was the selection of pieces, all of which were well-known and loved by everyone. Mrs. Carl Weber received much praise for her splendid piano renditions, as did Gordon Scholle for his violin solo. Two special numbers were' added to the program which appeared in its entirety in the last issue of The Plaindealer. One of these was a dance tc DeBussy's "Claire de Lune" by Lyle Franzen and Vera Coffee, the latter .of Crytal Lake. They were accompanied by Miss Sylvia Snyder at the piano. For this, their first appearance in McHenry, this talented couple, who on numerous occasions have received acclaim for their ballroom art by various audiences in McHenry and Lake counties, were accorded the wholehearted support of those gathered in the high school auditorium last Sunday night. The second number consisted of two selections by a quartet which was composed of Adele Froehlich, soprano, Ruth Klodzinski, alto, Roy Redwanz, tenor, and Carl Weber, bass. Their offerings were entitled, "Love Sends a Little Gift of Roses" and Tea for Two." They were called back for an encore, as was the dance team, "Vera and Lyle." Greatly encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by the listeners Sunday evening, the members of the chorus are making great plans for the future. After a week's rest, the group will redouble their efforts on the next practice which will be held on the evening of April 7 in the high school auditorium. New members will again be welcomed into the club at this time. CONTEST SATURDAY Wext Saturday, March 29, the high school band which made such a AIM appearance on the evening of March 14, will go to Elmhurst, 111., to compete against bands of other high schools in the nearby counties. Last year the band entered the contest and scored a second division rating. This year they have worked very hard and are going to get a first division and after the splendid concert they gave, it appears as though they have a good chance. # The band will play three numbers: «rst, a march, "The Billboard," by Klohv; then a second number, "Horizon " by BUFS, and third, the required number, the Overture, "Crusaders," by Buchtel. In addition to these three they will be required to do some sight reading. Last week we failed to mention the fact that Bonnie Page won a second division rating with her piano solo which she played in the contest. Also since last week, the report of the saxophone quartet and the baton I w If Wis has been received. The saxophone quartet received a first division ntfctfe thus enabling them to go to tike state contest April 18 and 19.

EVER stop to figure why Nature gave you both breathe through? Your nose, barring colds, does all right lor ordinary purposes. But go up against some heavy exercise an4 you can open up your mouth as well and increase the intake of oxygen Your 1941 Buick with Compound Carburettonr works something like that. Its nose/ which is the forward one of your two thrift-size carburetors, does a grand job of supplying "breath" for your engine on normal jobs. But when the time comes that engine has to dig in for a tough pull or a burst of power, then your extra foot pressure on the gas treadle opens up the "mouth" and your engine breathes" through two carburetors. Simple, isn't ItP happens: Yet look what Your engine always consumes gas according to the need, never overfed by a carburetor too large for light jobs or underfed by one too small for the big odes. - b By simply taking iteasy when easy does it and breathing deep when the work piles up, your power plant gets as much as 10% to 15% more mileage from the same gasoline.
