o As He Understood It A Harvard student who puts In his odd hours, profitably, waiting on table, wrote to his family saying that the job was great fun. “One English student wanted cocoa for breakfast He asked for It in his native accent ‘cow-cow.’ The waiter brought him two milks.” —Boston Transcript. O Pronunciation of "Gums” The word “gums,” meaning the fleshy tissues In which the teeth are Imbedded, Is correctly pronounced “gumz,” with the "u” short as tn "chewing gum.” The pronunciation “goomz” is regarded as incorrect. o Ain’t Science Wonderful? Veterinarians have discovered, according to Farm and Fireside, how to remove the bark from a dog and the bleat from a goat. It remains only for them to eliminate the mosquito’s bite and the bee’s sting to make country life practically 100 per cent perfect

"King’s English’* It is the king’s English just as It is the king’s army, the king's navy and the king's country. Everything in the tight little isle is subject to bim, in theory at least. The expression is proverbial. It Is sometimes credited to Shakespeare because of his use of it In the first act of “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” but it antedates him. Q Where Slate Comes From The slate made use of In this country is almost entirely supplied from a belt extending from Maine down through Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Pennsylvania is the largest producer of slate (exclusive of slate granules) in the United States and also produces a greater variety of slate products than any other state, although Maine and Vermont both outrank it in output ct electrical slate. Copied English Name The great English Derby is run at Epsom Downs. Col. M. Lewis Clark patterned the Kentucky Derby after the English Derby.' He was the nephew of John and Henry Churchill, who owned the tract of land upon which the 1 . Churchill Downs race course is situated. Hence it was so named. i

REFRIGERATION GAS CONDEMNED Methyl Chloride Gas, Used In Some Ajachines, Blamed For Several Deaths Chicago, July 2.-4U.R)— Acting upon the recommendation of a coroners jury of pathologists and chemists which investigated the death of Mrs. Viola Clarke, 28-year-old artist, the city health department moved today to eliminate the danger of poisonings by' methyl chloride gas from artificial refrigerators. The jury held that methyl chloride gas was responsible for the death of Mrs. Clarke. Health authorities asserted 15 other recent deaths in th? city were caused by the same gas which is used in the colling unit of some mechanical refrigerators. Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the journal of the American Medical association and one of the jurors, commented that the jury ‘took cognizance of the fact that hundreds of thousands of refrigerators have been installed over the country and that they operate with apparent slight mortality.” Death of the guinea pigs, placed in Mrs. Clarke's apartment and exposed to the refrigerator fumes, also was considered by the jury. Coroner Herman Bundesen testified that gas in large quantities was escaping from a leak in the refrigerator. Leaders ot the mechanical refrigerator industry opposed the verdict contending that their own experiments with the gas had .convinced them it was harmless in respect to the quantity which might escape through defects in the refrigerators. Richard W. Kritzer, vice-president of the Peerless Ice Machine company, testified that more than 60.000 refrigerators in Chicago use methyl chloride gas. Further testimony revealed that only five of 22 makes use methyl chloride, the others utilizing sulphur dioxide which gives off a warning odor when escaping.
