To a Strange Mietake
BEULAH, MICH-—Thia town of
ISO population to built on a “mis
take.”
It was hare in 1873 that Archi
bald Jones, an Illinois business
man, discovered he should not have
tampered with nature. He had
planned a canal connecting Crystal
lake with Betsie river to open new
territory for the Michigan lumber
ing industry; but instead he created
a flood that killed one man, swept
away live stock and lowered the
Crystal lake level to 15 feet. He
had neglected to learn that the lake
elevation was higher than the
river’s.
The roar of a torrent let loose
when the last of the canal was cut
through was heard five miles away.
For two weeks the lake water
surged through swamps over an
area nine miles long and three miles
wide, and when the flood subsided
Crystal lake had no timber along
its shore but a vast expanse of sand
and dried mud.
Settlers, however, dammed the
canal cut 30 years later, built a road
and railway along the sandy beach
gnd founded Beulah in a valley once
submerged in water.
Twins Develop Parallel
Views in School Essays
SEATTLE.—Two 17-year-old high
school twins furnished Seattle edu
cators with an intriguing example
of parallel mentalities.
Frank Kerr, high school senior,
wrote on the topic “What Democ
racy Means to Me” and won $500
and a trip to New York in a nation
wide contest.
Nancy, his sister, learned of his
success. Without telling Frank, she
wrote on “Advantage of Democ
racy” and was Seattle’s first-prize
winner in another national essay
competition.
Without comparing notes, their
compositions showed similar trends
in thought and conclusions. Through
out school they have been in the
same classes and their school
grades have been virtually identi
cal.
The boy plans to enter art school
when he is graduated, while Nancy
wants to study for a stage career.
Scientists Dig Up Bones
Of Mastodon of Legend
TUCSON, ARIZ.—Scientists of the
University of Arizona are uncover
ing bones of a giant mastodon dis
covered by the Papago Indians in
southern Arizona.
Dr. Emil S. Hau*y, head of the
anthropological department of the
university, said the exact site of the
discovery was being kept secret un
til the skeleton could be removed.
The bones were partly exposed by
erosion. The Indians believe that
long ago the mastodon threatened to
eat alive the entire tribe of Papagos
but was killed by a tribal god, Etoi.
According to the Indians, Etoi al
lowed himself to be swallowed by
the monster and then cut its heart
out.
Blackboard Maps Used
To Meet Quick Changes
LORAIN, OHIO.—Lorain public
school authorities believe they have
found the answer to the puzzling
program of what to do about class
room maps of Europe when national
boundaries change or disappear al
most weekly.
Sets of "white blackboard” maps
have been installed. Boundaries
are colored in washable crayon and
then the maps covered with a glassy
transparent mate*-*l to prevent
smudging.
So no matter what happens in
Europe overnight, the Lorain ge
ography class r aps will be up-to
date, teachers ay.

GASTONIA, N. C.
By L. L. STEVENSON
Sagar Story: Several months ego,
a middle-aged woman of ample
means who makes her home in a
mid-town hotel, began having her
breakfasts served in her room. As
she is on a diet, the menu is un
varied and the cost low. The other
morning instead of paying the
waiter as usual, she handed him
a big bag of sugar. “This is for my
breakfast,” she declared. “Five full
pounds. I had the drugstore down
stairs weigh it.” After some pro
test, the waiter took the bag and
the check to the cashier. Opening
it, the cashier found each lump in
an intact wrapper which was
stamped with the name of the hotel.
It was finally decided to let the
matter pass. The next morning,
however, there was no sugar on the
woman’s tray. Rising in wrath, she
demanded her just due. “Don't
think,” she stormed, “just because
my fool doctor won’t let me have
sugar you can cheat me.” As the
guest is always right each morning
now she has sugar.

Language: Magda Tagliafero, red
headed, whirlwind French concert
pianist, who shortly after her arriv
al in America last December an
nounced that she thought Gotham’s
taxi drivers the most charming in
the world, has been spending the
months learning their lingo. After a
sight-seeing trip with a party of
friends through Harlem the other
evening, she stepped into a cab
and in her saucy accent said to the
driver, “Hotel St. Moritz—and cut
through the orchard, please.” Her
companions, knowing full well that
Manhattan has no orchards, looked
at her as if she had actually gone
wacky. But Magda sat impassive
until the cab roiled into Central
park. Then she proclaimed: “My
friends, this is the orchard.”
Sympathy: New York has become
tree conscious within the last year.
It all started with the planting of
elms in front of Rockefeller Center
followed by a tree gift to St. Pat
rick’s cathedral, just across Fifth
avenue, by Major Bowes. Recently
I noted that trees have been planted
on two sides of block long London
Terrace while trees line both sides
of 106th street from river to river.
There are also trees on Sixth ave
nue. Trees, of course, add to the
beauty of the city. Kit to me, a
tree springing up from a sidewalk
in the midst of steel and concrete
is like an animal in a zoo or a wild,
bird in a cage.
* * *
Honesty: The taxi driver who took
me home last night announced his
belief in Santa Claus during a traffic
light stop. It seems that earlier
in the evening, a fare whom he had
left at an uptown apartment house,
had given him a tan in mi«tak+ for
a one dollar bill. He needed the
money because of family illness, but
when he discovered the error, his
conscience got busy. So he went
back and tried to straighten it out.
And the fare, evidently thinking be
was attempting some kind of a
game had bawled him out for dis
turbing him and ordered him to be
on his way.

Inns: Hotels entertain about 10,
000,000 guests at conventions each
year . . . Most hotel rooms have
about 50 articles for the use and
comfort of the guest. . . A medium
sized hotel has a switchboard cap
able of serving a town of 5,000 . . .
Hotels buy 17,000,000 towels and
napkins, 5,760,000 sheets and 800,000
blankets annually.

End Piece: Bill Hargreave told
me of the struggling comedian who
hit his sponsor for a raise.
“I really deserve a boost," com
plained the comic. "What you’re <
paying me is only chicken feed."
"I know," responded the sponsor.
“But that’s because of the eggs
you’ve laid."

WHITEHALL, WIS.—The rela
tionships of the Holmen family
are now slightly confused.
Harry M. Holmen, S5 years old,

were the half-brother and sister
in-law of the groom. It is reliably
reported that this makes the
groom’s half-brother his stepson
