JULY 2.1., 1932 b Seven ilaysi A Week

(By Anne Shannon)

1, Monday: A New York cafe recently oiicred "left" ham sand-

wiches for 31.50, versus fifty-flve-

cents for sandwiches made from the ”right" hams. A big packing immediately pointed out

that there is nothing to the idea ”

Ihnt hogs scratch with their right leg: and thus the hams on the right side are muscle-bound. Hogs scai-tch with both.legs, say the packers-but mostly just lean iuaiiist a post or a fence and rub. 'l.cil. ham sandwiches" was a :nod racket while it lasted! . . .

2. Tuesday: Potholders make ii-iehdsl This was proved by a. group of women in Delaware. Mrs. iiai-old Edwards of Delaware Coun- iv attended a meeting of the As- siicii-lleiil Country Women of the World in Copenhagen two years aixo. Mrs. Edwards took with her 574 potholders, all sizes, shapes and colors, and from all over the n'l1iiC.'E8.Ch woman who sent in a potiiolder attached her name and xdrlress to it, and Mrs. Edwards iisii-ibuted them to rural women .11 ten countries of Europe via iilf'lT representatives at the meet- .ng.:. Now the rural women in" Delaware are receiving long imirsy letters, snapshots and souv- viiirs from their newly acquired iiionds from across the ocean. So uril has the idea been received that pothoiders are being sent out i'l'('l')' month! - . .

The Indian cradle board was copied after the Jack-in-the-Pub pit.

The early Indians had as many hitches and knots as the sailors. Here are a few. Squaw hitch, Dia- mond hitch (used on horses), Saddle knot, and lariat knot. Blankets were originally made for the Indians and lhkimos. Looking over some Hudson's Bay records I find mention of "point" blankets. The short indigo lines called "points" meant prices. Thus I. 3 1-2 point blanket could hp had for 3 large and one small beaver skin. Four points called for the barter of four large beaver skins. Nowadays the points indicate the size of the blanket. 3 1-2 point blankets measure 63 by Bl inches and weigh lo pounds per pair. Four point blankets measure '12 by 90 inches and weigh 12 pounds per pair. I have not been able to trace the origin of the "point" symbol, but the point blankets are still regular articlu of trade in all the company's posts.

POOR. TASTE

All spring the pair of Robins had been dogged by bad luck, and now. after mid-July. they were' making a third attempt to bring up a family. However, the babies were only a few days old when trouble came. Mr. Robin yelled in protest; Mrs. Robin cried aloud. Such a rumpusi The two girls ran out oi the house and over to the Robin family's tree.

"The nest looks all right." said Edith. gazing up into the big spruce, "but I wish it were not above eye level."

Just then one Robin after the other dashed past her head with snapping bill. Some enemy lurked near. Again the birds flew by, screaming. Was that a. ball of red brown fur a few feet from the nest?

"Alice, look here, a red squirrel is sitting calmly on the branch below the nest, holding a baby Robin in its paws. It is eating the babyl I-low horrible!"

Less than a week afterwards excitement reigned again.

"Alice, come and see the Roblnl" Edith shouted.

Mr. Robin was on the narrow path Just inside the gate, and seemed to be having a hard time,

in every respect, with ample ac- commodatlon for officers and crew. Built in Finland as a. combination freight and passenger ship, she has 8 double cabins which by means of sliding doors can be con- verted into l6 singles. The same effect is obtained with the dining saloon, which has a ladies' lounge at one end and a gentleman's at the other, the whole three being convertible into a spacious area by means of sliding doors, when the passengers desire more room for dancing, etc.

Birch and walnut finish through- out are carefully blended to make a pleasing effect. The cabins are spacious hotel rooms, with twin beds. drapes and dressers. The saloon sideboard has I. most unusual background in veneered wood showing in detail a reproduction of the waterfront at the home port of the ship, with the "Selman Thorden" at her pier. This work of art, done in minute detail, contains hundreds of emau pieces of various woods and is in feet long by 4 ft. high.

In ,the absence of Captain Gust- rin, Chief Officer A. R. Lindcr, spoke in enthusisstic terms of various trips he has made to Can- sds. both to the Atlantic and Pa- ciiic coasts. When questioned about conditions in Europe he emphas- ized that rationing was no long- er necessary or practiced. It was true that in Sweden for instance, there was a short crop of potatoes, but he added with s. smile. "I un- derstand there is s similar ort- age in the United States and an- ada. Food controls are met with everywhere, but I am sure that this is understandable when one considers the stats of flux in which Europe is today." .

An outstanding feature has been the advance of education. Night schools flourish everywhere in Scandinavia. The people are learn- ing 2: llsh as I matter-of course.

In speaking of East Germany, which is the area under Russian control, he said, "We simply load- ed there and left as we would any other port, all business being car- ried on in the usual manner." I

more, until the friction causes enough heat to form a spark in the powder. The spark is then dropped

into flame. The natives of the South Seas had a curious method of fire mak- ing, combustion by compressed air. A cylinder of bamboo. 5 or six in- ches long, was used. one end of the bamboo was cut. at.the point so that the base was closed. A plung- er of wood, wrapped at one end with low, was pushed into the open and of the bamboo stalk. Dry tin- der was fastened to the wrapped end of the plunger. The walls the bamboo, the piston and tinder were greased with fat. when the ramrod was hit repeatedly with the palm of the hand, the air in- side thc cylinder became as highly compressed that heat was generat- ed, igniting the tinder. s - .

The tomahswk was a favorite weapon and tool of the pioneer as well as the Red man. Capt. John Smith in his Indian vocabulary tells us about its use. But the pipe tomshawk was a symbol as well as a weapon. or one might say a hatchet and pipe combined. The core of the helve was removed and became a pipe stem. while the pipe bowl was the head of the axe.
