WE ARE WEAKLINGS
A bee, weight for weight, is thir
ty times as strong as a horse. A
very small bug can drag six match
es?the equivalent to a man pull
ing three hundred and thirty beams
as large as himself. An ordinary
bouse fly can life a match and in
doing so exerts as much power, in
proportion to its size, as a man
uses when he holds a wooden beam
fourteen feet long by thirty inches
square. But imagine a new born
baby of 8 pounds who could lift two
tons, or an average man who could
lift 78,400 pounds. But that is what
each of them could lift if they were
33 strong in proportion as a crab, i
DON'T FOOL YOURSELF
If you suddenly discover that
the gasoline in your car is about
exhausted don't speed up in order
to reach the next filling station?
slow down. Experiments have
proved that, other things being
equal, more mileage is obtained
from a gallon of gasoline when an
automobile is driven at moderate
speed than when it is driven at
high speed. You will understand
why this is true from the fact that
more force is required to i ?opel a
car at high speed than at low
speed, because of the wind resist
ance.
FREAK LAWS
Our state lawmaking bodies in
troduce and sometimes pass many
freak and amusing bills. One such
bill provided that "No one shall
operate a political steam-roller or
band-wagon on the public high
way." In 1932 a bill was intro
duced in the Kentucky state senate
prohibiting boxing and wrestling
within the state and making attend
ance on such contests sufficient
grounds for divorce. It was re
ferred to the Committee on Drains
and Ditches. Some Federal laws
are just as comical. For instance
the one that prohibits the landing
of sponges at any port in the Unit
ed States smaller than four inches
in diameter. This certainly is a
small port.
YOU CAN PROVE ANY
THING BY THE BIBLE
"You can prove anything by the
Bible" is an old saying. IPs really
so. According to the Bible itself
one of its famous characters was
killed twice. The 50th and 51st,
verses of the 17th Chapter of First
Samuel read as follows: "So David
prevailed over the Philistine with a
sling and with a stone, and smote
the Philistine, and slew him; bpt
there was no sword in the hand of
David. Therefore David ran, and
stood upon the Philistine, and took
his sword, and drew it out of the
sheath thereof, and slew him, and
cut off his head therewith."
IT IS HARD TO TELL WHO
WAS SHOT
A dud was once fought in Texas,
says Facts and Fancies, between
Alexander Shott and John Nott.
Nott was shot and Shott was not,
according to circumstantial evi
dence. But, as many remarked, it
was better to be Shott than Nott.
There was a rumor that Nott was
not shot, but Shott avowed tint he
shot Nott, which proves either that
the shot Shott shot at Nott was not
shot, or that Nott wss shot not
: withstanding, r It was msde to ap
pear at the trial that the shot Shott
