Tht're were two little groups of three buttons on a certain woman's coat, l-'our of the appendages became detached, so that slip had to stitch them on ugtiin, and when the job was finished she held up the garment and hesitatingly asked if the rows of buttons were quite straight. They were not. They were about as straight as an ice cream cone In the sun remains pyraniiilical, and when tBe buttons were cut off and reattached by another woman matters were obviously worse Insleud of better. The incident goes to prove that there !« something in the assertion made by -ome folk to the effect that women are naturally endowed with crooked lines of vision, I.ondon Answers states, ft may he true or It may not, hut there Is certainly a big army of women who cannot develop “a straight eye" for doing various things, no matter how hard they try. It does not call for much thinking to show evidence of this. ff you go to any sports where there l« hall throwing, ring throwing, shooting at a mark and such like tests of ••straight eye" skill, you will find I hat women are far less successful than men. Showmen with coconut shies and similar things vastly prefer lady customers to men. because they take it as a matter of course that at least 05 per cent of the former are “crooked eyed. If a more homely Illustration is required Just watch a woman cutting a few slices of bread and mark how the loaf gradually becomes like a sloping hillside. There are dozens of women who have tried all their lives in cut loaves level and who still confess their Inability to do so, “because they haven't a straight eye." So, too. with picture hanging. A woman may hang a single picture stralghtly on a wall, hut give her a dozen to hang In line and watch the result. Well, It Is an absolute fact that th“ majority of women walk very crookedly. If (hey are told to walk In a straight line for twenty yards and a guiding mark Is made between the sinning point and Hie goal the differciwe le :ween the straight line and the !"'Mirl walk will lie found most Illuminating.
Hats are a great plague, and just now we are suffering from them to an un usual degree. They are difficult, indeed. to get rid of. Poison has its disadvantages, observes a writer in London Answers. A large monastery near Budapest once had to be deserted for months because h rat catcher had poisoned all the rats, and the stench of the dead bodies was intolerable. The best trap is said to he a barrel half full of water, the top covered In, and provided with a trap door that shuts itself again as soon ns n rat lias fallen through. (This doot should he fastened and the trap well baited for several nights before catching actually begins.) To drive rats out of a place, as apart from destroying them, several plnns have been tried. One is to hlowr a bugle often ami loudly In the places they are in the habit of frequenting. Another Is to catch a rat alive, tar him all over, or hang a small bell around his neck and let him loose again: il Is said that this will frighten his brethren out of the place. The inosi curious way of getting rid of ruts per haps Is the old plan of writing them a Iciter. which must he In rhyme, warn lug lhem lo go and placing It in their hands. The present writer hr.s heard of a case when this is said to have proved successful.

Scotch Wit. T* Is said that Mr. Asquith has only once been known to laugh outright w lieu on a public platform. According to die Balllmore American, that nccuv : nn was at a political meeting in Scotland. The premier was constantly being Interrupted, and one of the chief In el;lets was a farmer who wore a large straw hat. Suddenly from some one in the hall came a very personal remark concerning Mrs. Asquith. “Who said that?” demanded Mr. Asquith quickly. There was a sudden silence. Then a man In the audience stood up and pointing to the farmer with the straw hut. shouted: “It was him wl' the coo's breakfast i on liis head!” The reply was altogether too much for Mr. Asqntth, and he had to join In Ihe general roar of laughter.

The American Boy. Seven-year-old Joseph McKee of Vigo county tins begun to have some doubts a« to tin* existence of a Santa Claus. So on Christmas eve he announced his Intention of sitting up and watching for him. When told that If he were seen Santa would not leave him anything. he declared that he would hide. “But he would see that there was no one in your bed." protested his mother, “and then he would think there wasn’t any boy here and take your things on to some other little boy.” For a few minutes he sat thinking. Then a queer little sinj|*> came on to his face. “Mother,” he asked happily, “enn’t I make a dummy and put it In my hei|, and then hide behind the davenport in the living room to watch?"

It is doublful if even a small percentage of this enormous tonnage could have been moved except by motor trucks. The management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing the necessity of furnishing facilities for supplying gasoline to automobiles and trucks as they traveled through the country, established Service Stations at convenient points throughout the territory served.
These Service Stations perfected the system of distribution maintained by the Company.
The drivers of this caravan of motor trucks which carried the 6 billion ton miles of freight in 1917 would have found their task more difficult of accomplishment had it not been for the network of Service Stations along the way. While the Standard Oil Company was supplying a substantial share of the fuel consumed by these motor trucks, it also was supplying its regular patrons, and meeting the demands of the United States Government with great quantities of gasoline for war purposes. Its preparedness and its ability to meet an emergency, however unheralded the emergency may be. serves to emphasize one of the salient phases of the bigness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
