Odorous Onion Liked by All World Races Onions seem to he almost aa old n«i the hill*. They are mentioned In the Bible a* one of the tiling* longed for, by the Israelites In the wilderness and, complained about to Moses. llerodo tits says tbut lu bis time there was un Inscription on the Great Pyramid stating the sum expended for onions, radishes, and garlic, which lint) been consumed by tlie laborers during its erection, as 1,600 talents. Ancient pictures show priests bolding onions In their bands ut the altnr. Early explorers. Including Columbus, brought onion seed to the New world. New Engenders were raising them ns enriy us 10,‘t-t, and General Sullivan, lu 177 U, In Ills raid against the Indians In central New York, destroyed many onion fields belonging to the savages. Nineteen stutes now produce large commercial crops of onions. Texas scents up the whole Gulf of Mexico and the eastern side of the Atlantic with tier onion-laden vessels bound for New York.—Peter R. Sterling lu National Republic Magazine. Weather Hds Little Influence on Tides Contrary to popular belief, especial ly that long cherished by many senmen, tlde9 do not exert nny Influence on the weatlier, according to meteorologists of the weatlier bureau, United States Department of Agriculture. As a matter of fact, close observers have discovered that certain extreme weather conditions affect the tides to some extent. Tides ebb and flow at every point on the coast with clocklike regularity. Nevertheless, the weather continues to be fair or foul, irrespective of those tides. On the other band, conditions of very low barometric pressure and very strong winds from favorable directions cause either unusually low or unusually high tides, as the case may be. Tills is the influence of the weather on the tides, and the weather is not the result of any tidal Influence. Even when there is, as meteorologists understand, a very insignificant outflow of air from a region into which the tide is rising, or a corresponding Inflow of air as the tide subsides, tills does not constitute a significant feature of the weatlier. In Bad Company When n vote is to be taken on some important measure a congressman who cannot be present “pairs” himself with some representative who would vote “aye” to the congressman's “nay,” or vice versa. Once a Democratic member of the house received a letter from an active politician of that party in his district, calling attention to the fact that lie was reported in the Congressional Record almost every day as being “paired”, with a Republican. “I don't" doubt your loyalty to the party,” read ttie letter, “but I think tlie boys would like it a good deal better' if you paired with Democrats instead of Republicans.”—Harper’s Magazine/ — Pressing Business “‘I want to speak to Mr. Jones, ”t said the voice over the wire. “I’m sorry, sir, hut Mr. Jones is in conference," the private secretary replied sweetly. And at the same moment Mr. Jones was in deep conference with a friend! at Merchant and Bishop streets. Undeclared, very confidentially and not for publication: “Yeah, It's sure wonderful how quick they can dig a big hole in the ground like thnt. I see they're put-' ting in tlie foundation already. Wonder liow they are going to get rid of that water, though?”— Honolulu StarBulletin. , ; Almond Raising Almonds comprise the most important crop of the island of Majorca, where many varieties are cultivated, and tlie industry is so prosperous that■ as old olive trees die they are replaced by almonds. When tlie almonds are almost ripe they are knocked off tlie brandies by long bamboo poles and tiien picked up by women and children. Tlie nuts are separated from tile husks after drying, and tlie shells are then broken by hand or machinery and tlie kernels extracted. Think for Yourself Don’t be too much impressed by what your neighbor is thinking and doing. Democracy doesn't mean that men shall be like bricks in a wall, all tlie same size, sbnpe and color. Don't let anybody else make your opinions for you. Don’t be standardized. world Is full of all kinds of standardization now. Be as near right about t your opinions und your acts ns you know how. Don’t waste your time bylooking over the wall into your neigh-, bur’s dooryard.—Grove Paterson, in the Mobile Register.

Byrd Tells Who Is Fitted : For Hardships in the Artie I. —,

Says Dreamer-Fighter Is ( Rest Combination For Exploration 11 i ! By Graham Stewart International Illustrated News Staff i Writer The drama that is being unfolded for newspaper readers In grim Northeastland prompts the question; Just what • type of rugged manhood is best suited to withstand tlie hardships of Ar itexploration? v ’ Impetuous youth or wiry, experien- ’ f,,,, l age? The brilliant bookworm, gift- | e,l also with good muscles? What about a married man? The smoker? ■ How far does family history count. ! Commander Richard K. Ityrd, in his | recently published hook, Skyward, answers these queries in interesting sash--1 ion. "I am Inclined”, he writes, “to put age as the first limiting factor. Youth will lie served. The young man bus zest and ambition. He lias an internal l machinery not long out of the factory, . longs instinctively for combat with man or nature—and he cares little , which. . "Briefly, I should say that the aver- , -tge man dots not get his full strength until after twenty and reaches his peak around twenty live. He Is close to the . down hill side —physically—before he . Is thirty-eight. The ages between , twenty and thirty, therefore, would I seem best fitted to endure privation , a ml hardship ami look unconcernedly , upon the bright face of danger. t "I am frequently asked if the plileg- ! matic man isn't better fitted temner- , anientally to undergo hardships than , his more imaginative brother. 1 don't | believe he is.

Commander Byrd says that a yeai ATLANTIC ISLE SLOWLY DROPS IN POPULATION Bv Harry L. Percy, UP Staff Correspondent. London. — (U.R) — A country with a queen and a parliament is gradually disappearing off the face of the earth, i Its present population is sft, hut there ‘j is a yearly decrease. The country is St. Hilda's Island, , lying just short of a hundred miles j west of the mainland of Scotland, and 50 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. ' The St. Kiidians lead, perhaps, more u isolated lives than any other community of Britain. This year their Christ- ! mas mail was landed in March. The natives are all Gaelic-speaking. To the old people English is an uni known tongue, hut the yoifnger genI! eration speaks English very slowly a and clearly. It is this younger generation that is gradually bringing about the extinction of St. Hilda. The young people leave for the _ towns on the mainland; the old people are gradually dying. Soon St. | Hilda will lie uninhabited except for . its innumerable sea birds. It is only during the summer months | that there is a regular steamer ser- . vice to the island. From the end of August, except for an occasional visit from a trawler, St. Hilda is entirely cut off front the outer world. Women Go Barefooted The great institution is the parliament. Each day the men of the village assemble. After much eager discussion— each man speaking at the same time and endeavoring by sheer lung power to impose his views upon the community—the work of the day is decided. The people may decide to sail : across to the neighboring island of .' Soay to clip tlie famous St. Hilda sheep. Or, if the weather be very fine ; and the Atlantic swell negligible, , they may arrange an expedition to ! Boreray, the most remote island of : the group- , The women of St. Hilda are strong and handsome. They go barefooted. They are fond of bright-colored ' shawls, and a woman’s hat is unI known on the island. ; When the men were busy shearing sheep, the women used to be landed - on the Isle of Soay. There they remained, for a w’eek or more, snaring puffins. The woman in charge of , the expedition was known as the quen, and although the custom has now died out, there is still a queen ' of St. Hilda. She is one of the oldest inhabitants.

He adds that few leaders hut know of dozens of casen in . which a fine athlete ar home became a menace in the field. For instance: The man who turns up with a weak digestion or lungs; the man who goes "native" —wants to eat. live and dress with native negligence; the man who becomes hysterical in a tight place and wants to fight; the man who is a secret drinker; the man who blows up when his tobacco is gone; the victim of ' homesickness; and, finally, the man 1 who, when he is tired, can’t stand the ' other fellow’s banjo—or his singing. The explorer extolls the late Floyd Bennett as his ideal of a comrade in a pinch, for Bennett’s calm nerve never once deserted him in their sojourns ir in the Arctic. suggestive mottoes. The chief said lie could overlook some of tlie minor wisecracks and wouldn’t even inquire as to the source of red lanterns that are to be found on the back of many “collegiate four." :t has been rumored around fraternity houses that the highway department oi Denver is minus a few of its warning signs, and according to sente fraternity men the tail light on the “blunderbusses" might have once adorned some innocent culvert. Indications are that tlie towns-peo-ple’s morals are to lie protected from the ever flaming collegiate circle, which generally is a group of high school students. Recently a patrolman found a crowd of over one hundred persons inspecting a delapidated car of the class of ’l6 with many suggestive slogans and drawings on it. He hailed the car and sent it to the city garage. When the boy owners, high school youths from Los Angeles, appearel to say that tlie car was theirs and they wanted it, Deputy Chief of Police Williams lectured them severely, made them dean up the car and then the youths departed for parts unknown.

i t Making up a shopping list THE hall needs a new rug. More towels are needed for the bathroom, and the kitchen floor could certainly stand a coat of paint. The children need shoes. The car will soon need tires. Well, we buy a hundred new tilings every year. Scattered throughout the United States are manufacturers who make the very things we need. * Their products are on sale in certain stores within ? easy reach. Certain of these products, and certain of these stores, are especially fitted to take care of our special need. But which products and which stores? Which can we afford, and which do we think is best? We must look to advertising for 1 advice. Advertising is the straight line between supply and demand. It saves time spent in haphazard shopping. It leads you directly to your goal. By reading the advertisements, we can determine in advance where the best values are to be found. With the aid of advertising, shopping becomes a simple and pleasant business, and budget figures bring more smiles than frowns. • From the pages of this paper you can make up a shopping list that will save you money.
