The dietary importance of foods
with a high calcium content such
as milk is shown by an experiment
reported to the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture. At the
end of 22 weeks one rat deprived
of calcium weighed 91 grams and
a second rat fed on an abundance
of calcium weighed '219 grams.

Drives Million Miles
Without an Accident
More than a million miles of
automobile driving without an ac
cidentthat is the record of Paul
Robert Merlin; French world war
hero, now an American citizen and
resident of Santa Monica, Calif.
Merlin credits his perfect record
to obedience to traffic laws, and
especially his refusal to speed.
"Careless arid reckless driving is
so unnecessary," he said. "Speed
seldom benefits any driver. I have
driven my present car, a Chevrolet,
for 40,000 miles, and have never
missed an appointment, although I
never drive at a greater rate than
the law allows.
"Possibly there are times when
high speed or irregular driving
seems necessary," he continued,
"but in my; opinion these excep
tions account in large part for the
staggering traffic, toll America is
paying. It is unfortunate that re
latively few motorists should en
danger the huge majority of driv
ers who are careful and obey the
law in every way."
Merlin, who became a citizen
nine years ago, was wounded by
machine gun fire while carrying
dispatches between the French
army Sixth Division headquarters
and an isolated Engineer Corps
outpost in the first Battle of the
Marne. After discharge from the
hospital he saw active service again
for the . duration of the war.
, His record of more than a mil
lion miles of accident-free driving
was built up under circumstances
ranging from ordinary to most un
usual. For the past 15 years he has
been employed as driver by a large
Pacific Coast company; but during
and after the World War, because
of his driving ability, he was se
lected as personal driver for Gen
eral Pershing, General Petain,
Andre Tardieu, David Lloyd George,
Venizelos of Greece and many
other notables. For two years he
drove throughout Europe and
Northern Africa, in charge of a
tour group.
Merlin, president of the .Los
Angeles Colonie Francais, was dec
orated for bravery in action and
received a citationt from General
Petain for valor under fire. In
spite of his record of courage and
physical fortitude, he fears the
foolish driver.
Everything imaginable has been
used in writing wills, but one of
the oddest ever , recorded was tat;'
tooed on a human back. '
The first known geographical
dictionary . is that of Stephen of
Byzantium who lived in the sixth
century.
