“SMALL TALK” IS IMPORTANT Well Worth Cultivating by Those te . Whom Its Possession Has . Been Denied. = : The man who is a failure at small talk never quite hears what the girl he is talking to has to say, He is trying to think what he is going to say next, so of course he cannot fail to misunderstand what the girl he is talking to says. He is heedless, abstracted, worried and has a way of listening to the conversation of others rather than to those at hand.

The girl whom men regard as & good talker is always ready with a laugh, and the girl who laughs well is always popular. One can excuse the girl who giggles if she giggles In away that makes others merry and: seems to tell those with whom she talks that they are entertaining her immensely, that their: stories are deliciously funny—though they may be very stupid—and that on the whole she is enjoying herself and her companions ‘enormously. . “How should a man start the conversation at a -dance?”’ is a frequent query. There are 1,000 ways and almost any way is a good way providing it is prompt and whole minutes of agonizing silence do: not slip before anything is said. Little personal remarks that are not impertinent are sure to win a girl’s attention. * “] was impatient for this dance,” says the qopular man to the girl dressed in old rose, whom he has met for the first time that night, “because l I always find that I get along famously with'girls that wear.pir:}f. I canq tell a lot about a girl by the [colors she likes to wear.” l i The man who never seems to know what to say to a woman would say something like this: “I kunew I had this dance with a girl in pink, but there are so many girls in pink here, and they all look alike to me so I was afraid I would ask the wrong girl.” -

MANY USES FOR GIANT KELP Among Others, Sea Plant Lends Itself Excellently to the Making of “Hootch.” The aboriginal natives of . British Columbia and Alaska can always get a suitable worm for distilling by picking it out of the sea. It is furnished by the hollow stem of the giant kelp, and serves excellently for the making. of “hootch” from a mixture of molasses and graham flour. The giant kelp is apchored to the rocky bottom by a root:like. holdfast, from which springs a stem that is sometimes 100 feet long. This stem is hollow for the upper half of its length, and terminates in a big bladder-like bulb from which, as it floats on the surface, fronds 50 feet long branch out. The plant grows from_ spores and Is an annual. One varlety is called “sea otter’s cabbage,” and is very plentiful in the region of Puget sound. Another, commonly known as “sea pumpkin,” flourishes nearly as far south as San Diego bay. Bulbs of the giant kelp are used in the Puget sound region as bottles to hold fish.oil and by fishermen as baitholders. The Eskimos utilize the hollow stem as a siphon to emply water out of their kayaks, which, being decked over, are not easily baled in the ordinary way. Also from ‘sections of the stem they make wheels for toy wagons.

_ Certain Trouble. o The project for an American academy of poetry and song will not materialize without some friction. Neither would the institution be maintained without more controversy. If it were just a’ clearing house for ' poetry it would be easler; but even that might furnish argument. There is such a difference of opinion as to what really constitutes poetry. There is a large school willing to admit as poetry anything which has neither rhyme nor reason. Others who follow such jurists as Bryant and Longfellow insist that real poetry must have both. Possibly it would be best to compromise on a home for bards and let them tilt before a nonpartisan committee for admission. Even a hall of fame for poets might start a fight—Los Angeles Timek 1, " & e . Truth and Light. - Nothing is se mistaken as the supposition that a person is to extricate himself from & difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth. This increases -the difficulties tenfold, and those who pursue these methods get themselves 80 involved at length that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great jmportance to set a ‘resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell the untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second time. The falsehood of the -tongue leads to that of the heart; and in time depraves all its good disposition.—Thomas Jefferson, deis i :

Popular Japanese Amusement, We of the western world “loop the loop” -and “shoot the chutes” in our amusement parks; but in Japan the people indulge in nore gentle forms of amusement, One of- their most thrilling rides is across Tokyo bay in an aerial rallway. e ' The cars hang on stout cables that are stretched, across the bay and they are operated by a motorman who stands in front. The cars are made so that they will float, in case of aceldent.—Popular Science Monthly.,
