Down in southern . Alabama
young Woman discovered that tha
young man With whom she was in
love was already married. With
tragic promptitude she wrote him
a note of farewell, added the bit
ter postscript . "Good-bye, Case
nova," and committed suicide.
The police Questioned the man.
but could bring no charge against
him so he was released.
"Well," remarked a deputy,
"that closes the case."
"Not by a long shot." rejoined
the sheriff. "Go out and bring in
that other fellow."
"What other fellow"
"That guy Casanova."
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES
An elderly lady, the widow of a
Roman officer, had for many years
appealed to the Italian govern
ment for recognition of her hus
band's services, but had never re
ceived an answer. At lengtn she
was struck with the happy thought
of addressing a plea to the Infant
daughter of the king, "Her Royal
Highnesa the Princess Yolanda."
When the letter was handed to
the king, he read the communica
tion, first with surprise, . and then
with amusement Assuming'
grave expression, be bade his
chamberlain take it to the princess
and read it to her. The chamber-
Iain .went to the baby and gravely
read the letter aloud to her, and
then ' returned to the king.
"WeU," said the, king, "what did
the princess say?"
"Nothing, your majesty."
"Very well Silence gives con
sent. Honor the lady's petition."

The youngstec-llftd heard much
about his iWtauOQusin Peter al
though .he.adlneec seen him. At
long last he was told Peter was
coming for a visit and he regis
tered great excitement.
Nobody could understand it when
he took one look at his little cousin
and burst into tears of disappoint
ment.
'I thought," he sobbed, "that
Peter was a rabbit!" i

A man was carrying a grand
father's clock down crowded
main street to a repair shop. As
the clock limited his vision, he
unintentionally collided with a
woman, knocking her down. After
collecting her composure and pack
ages, the woman struggled to her
fee4 and scathingly inquired
"Why don't you carry a wrist
watch like everybody else?"
Too Brief Acquaintance
The applicant presented his cre
dentials with confidence, but the
manager read them very dubi
ously. ,
"It is certainly a fine thing for
you to have these recommenda
tions from your minister and your
Sunday school teacher, but I'd like
to have at least one recommenda
tion from someone who knows you
on weekdays." ; j

'Do you know what a waffle Is?"
"Sure, it's a pancake with a non-

Aim to Please
A long-suffering diner noted that
his coffee was served without a
spoon. "This coffee," he remarked
pointedly, :"is going to be . pretty
hot to stir with my finger."
A short time later the waiter re
turned with another cup of coffee.
"Maybe this isn't so hot, sir," he
beamed.

"Mother, did you have many
showers on you before you were
married?" asked the daughter who
had Just come from a shower.
"No, dear," replied mother
sweetly. "In my day we didn't have
showers; then it was all sunshine,"

Santo Domingo Once
j Jewel of Caribbean
Columbus' son, Diego, became
vice regent of the Dominican is
lands and built a magnificent pal
ace at Santo Domingo whose ruins
still stand today. He gathered
around him one of the most bril
liant courts of the time nobles
seeking gold, scientists and explor
ers, and rich, enterprising mer
chants. They made the city the glit
tering capital of the New World and
th sDrineboard from which new
conquests were launched. Nunez
Balboa who found the Pacific and
De Soto, discoverer of the Missis
sippi, began their adventures there.
But the prosperous days of Santo
Domingo were short lived. The dis
covery of enormous wealth in Mex
ico and Peru soon drained the city
of its importance and brilliance. In
1886 Sir Francis Drake sacked and
burned the city with such violence
that the scars of his plundering still
remain on the walls of the cathe
dral. In 1795 when Spain ceded the east
ern portion of the island to France,
the priests of the city removed the
ashes of Christopher Columbus
from the cathedral to Havana. But
In the darkness the priests made a
fortunate blunder. They opened the
wrong crypt. The coffin taken to
Havana and later to Spain did not
contain the remains of Columbus
but those of his son, Diego. The
ashes of the great admiral were
later found in a crypt where records
showed they had always been. They
now rest in a magnificent tomb in
the cathedral at Culdad Trujillo
awaiting transfer to the Colum
bus memorial lighthouse, which is
soon to be built on a high promon
tory just outside the city.
Plan Color Scheme to
Match Home Furnishings
Harmony In colors of home fur
nishings is being assured to buyers
by a label on products put out by
co-operating manufacturers of car
pets, draperies, upholstery fabrics,
wall paper, paints, lighting equip
ment and other furnishings. The
manufacturers are agreed on a plan
for labeling goods B.H.F. for basic
home furnishings that will match
because all colors are co-ordinated.
Their aim is volume sales of these
matched goods, which simplifies the
work of the buyer and consumer
greatly. 4
Nine basic colors are in the new
color program, with eight gradu
ated values for each of these colors
to give a variety of choice. The
color groups include tan or Alamo,
rose or Grand Canyon, burgundy or
Adirondack, mauve or Prairie, green
or Shenandoah, beige or Cape Cod,
blue or Great Lakes, cedar or Santa
Fe, and gray or Great Smoky.
The standard colors and their
combinations will be exhibited in
stores with the merchandise labeled
B.H.F. and the name of the color
group. The homemoker can select
her favorite combination and then
buy with assurance that colors will
match or harmonize.
Discover Ancient Sculptures
Five colossal stone heads were
among the remains of a prehistoric
Indian ceremonial center excavated
In the jungles of southern Mexico
by an expedition of the National
Geographic society and the Smith
sonian institution. Although the
gigantic basalt heads were similar
to others found in previous seasons,
the newly-uncovered ones are bet
ter preserved and have finer carv
ings. Two of them, standing near
ly 10 feet high, are larger than any
heretofore brought to light. Each of
the two Is estimated to weigh more
than 20 tons. Adding mystery to
the sculptures was the fact that
the basalt from which they were
carved must have been quarried at
least 75 miles to the north. From
pottery and other discoveries it ap
pears that the community existed
between 500 and 800 A. D.
Mussel Diggers
There are boats that have no
masts but depend on sails under
water to carry them along. They're
called "mussel diggers" and ply
along the Ohio and Kentucky riv
ers, collecting the fish from whose
hells shirt buttons and cheap jew
elry are made. The boats "dig" for
the mussels with a brail, a long
rod having two dozen or more hooks
hanging from it. The brail is trailed
behind the boat, and to counteract
tha drag of its weight, a sheet of
muslin or canvas is dropped window-shade
fashion over the bow. It
sinks, fills with water and the riv
er current "sails" boat and brail
along downstream at just the
peed required for "digging" mussel.
Laundry Water
Too much soap in the washing
machine not only Is wasteful but
does not do as good a job as the
right amount It is wasteful to use
oap as a water softener. Water
softeners should be thoroughly dis
solved before the soap is added.
It will reduce the amount of soap
required, if you give it a chance to
do its job before you add the soap.
Give it three to five minutes. Always
measure the quantities to be used
after determining by experimenta
tion tha right amount necessary for
tha water you use. A two-inch suds
on the washwater is the most de
sirable. Find out how much soap it
takes for that suds then meas
ure the amount in the future.
