THE BEACH REVIEW
I
BHllng~ Child Knew 3"ust
Where That Clam Went
The Billings child on her Sunday
visit to the beach picked up a clam-
shell and regarded it meditatively.
~Now I wonder where that clam
has gone to?" she inquired.
Neither parent responded. Four-
year-olds are always wondering
something, and Billings was busy
resting In the hot sand, while Mrs.
Billings was busy rubbing sunburn
oi1 on her person.
"I wonder where that clam has
gone to2" repeated the Billings child.
No answer being forthcoming she
demanded loudly :
"Mommie, do you want to know
where that clam has gone to? Dad-
dy, do you want to know where that
clam has gone to?"
Both parents averred absently
that they did.
The Billings child tossed aside the
empty shell, picked up her pail and
shovel and started for the water. In
departing she remarked:
"It's crawled into an oyster shell
and Is going around fooling people."

Find

From Your Doctor
if the "Pain" Remedy
You Take Is Safe.

Preparations
BEFORE you take any prepara-
tion you don't know all about,
for the. relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about ~t--in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called "pain" remedies were ad-
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the ITeart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirinyear
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fuMaf
mdhods lid disco~ed for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
•.. and safe for the average person
to take regularly,
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store- simply by never
asking for it by the name "aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

ADVENTURERS'
CLUB
"'Quicker Than the Eye"
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter.
ALITTLE slow music, and up with the curtain. Hang onto your
watches, boys and girls, and don't go lending anybody your silk
hat unless you waut it turned into a rabbit's nest, for here comes
Halton, the Magician--Nat Halton with his deck of fifty-two individ-
ually trained cards, to give us a demonstration of the wonders that~
Wait a minute--what's that, Nat? I'm sorry, boys and girls, It's my mistake.
Nat isn't here to give a demonstration. He's here to tell us a story--the story
of a Jam he got into about thirty years ago, in the town of El Oro, way down on
the other side of the Mexican border--a Jam that not even a magician could get
out of without a little luck on the side.
Nat was visiting In Mexico City when a friend invited him out to the little
mining town of E10ro to entertain some of the boys who worked in the mines.
He went to E10ro, put up at a little hotel in the town, and that night put on a
show that was attended by a good portion of the town's inhabitants. The show
was run off in a hall In the center of the town. Nat had a good, appreciative
audience and he enjoyed every minute of the two hours during which he enter
tained them with his card tricks and feats of sleight-of-hand.
When the show was over he went back to the hotel and went to
bed. But the next morning, at 5:30, he wu awakened by a loud knock
on the door. When he opened It, a tough looking gent pushed his way
into the room and told Nat to get dressed.
Nat didn't feel like getting dressed at 5:30 In the mornlpg, and he told the
stranger so. But the stranger pulled out a gun and stuck It In Nat's ribs, and
Nat started getting into his clothes. When Nat asked the bird what he wanted
of him, the stranger sold: "You know." And that was every word Nat could
get out of him.
Nat Is Credited With Pretty Good Magic.
After repeated questioning, though, the man finally told Nat what the
trouble was. A deed to a mining claim had dlsapI~eared from his pocket the
night before, and he thought Nat had stolen It. And when Nat pq~nted out that
he hadn't even been near him all during the performance, the fellow said:
"You wouldn't h~ve to go near a man to take things out of his pocket. Didn't
you make cards pass from one fellow's pocket to another?"
Well, sir, Nat was flattered that anybody should take his sleight-of.
hand tricks that seriously, but it didn't help the situation any. "! no-
ticsd," he says, "that the man's eyes were dilated and bloodshot. Was
he a dope fiend? If he was, I was In real danger. The ons thing In my
favor was that he gave me credit for more powsr than I possessed. It
was my one advantage, so I used it to stall for time. I told him we
would go out and find his deed, thinking if we got out on the street I
could find some help."
But out on the street, there wasn't any .help in sight. Nobody gets up early
In Mexico, and at that hour there wasn't a soul awake. The man, with his gun
in Nat's back, took him to a small cabin on the edge of the town. There was
Nat Was Stalling• His Eye Fell on the Papers.
a pile of papers on the floor U~ the center of the front room, and a woman was
peeping through a nearly closed door. The woman's eyes, too, were dilated and
bloodshot~also the eyes of a drug fiend.
Nat was still stalling for time, and his eye fell on the papers 151led in the
center of the floor. Realizing It would take the man ten or fifteen minutes to go
through those papers, he pointed to them dramatically, and said: "Look, there,
and you will find your deed."
A Magician Gets His Wits A-Working.
The man ohJected. He said he had Just looked through those papers, and
that's how they happened to be there. But Nat repeated his command, and the
man began his search.
"l knew then," says Nat, "that I must plan my escape quickly, and
do it In sophs way that would be acceptable, to my captor. Force
wouldn't get ms anywhere, for the woman in the back room had come
out now, and was holding a shotgun pointed at me. Imagine my sur-
prise when the man suddenly rose from the floor holding a document
and said: 'Here it is,' and then added: 'But you put it back.' ~
Nat pointed out that he hadn't been anywhere near that pile of papers on
the floor, but the man reminded him again that anyone who could make cards
pass from one man's pocket to another wouldn't have to. However, by this time
he was disposed to be more friendly, and Invited Nat to have a drink with him.
Then after a few whispered words with the woman, he asked Nat if he could
tell him what number would win the capital prize in the Mexican National lot-
tery that month.
Well, sir, by this time Nat was beginning to get mad at the high-handed
way this bird had treated him. "Here," he says, "was my chance to get even.
So I told him that I couldn't give him the exact number, but that number thir.
teen was going to be very lucky In the next drawing, and advised hlm to buy all
the tickets he could find that had thirteen in the serial number. I have never
seen that man from that day to this, but I hope he sold his guns to buy lottery
tickets, so that If, by any chance, we should meet again, he won't have any
firearms left to greet me with."
Well, that's the first time I ever heard of a lottery doing any good for
humanity. But you can do the world a lot of good by sending me that story of
yours, Johnny. And don't forget to be here tomorrow, when we draw the story
of Rlta May Murphy, of New fork CitY, in the big, all.time lottery of adventure.

Rabies, Unlike Running
Fits, Not Sudden Attack
The rabid dog Is not generally con-
pulsed. Rabies, unlike running fits,
does not come on suddenly, but rather
gradually develops over a period of a
week or ten days of abnormal actions
which finally evolve Into either the
furious or dumb form of the disease,
advises a writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
Rabies sets in with a variety of
peculiar manlfestatlons, In brief, those
expressive of anxiety mingled with
fear. The dog appears in a troubled
state of mind and usually appeals for
sympathy. He Is prone to become
more affectionate and to excessively
lap the hands of his attendants. He
wa~ts more petting to appease his dis-
tress. Restlessness ls'a marked early
symptom as is also the fact that he
is easily startled. He conUnually paces
about, excePt for an occUio~] pause.
Refusing food. he shows a marked de-
craved appetite for Inedible substances
such as sticks and stones, or he may
chew his bedding.
It Is often noted that a rabid dog
will continually lap woodwork about
the house, such as floors and f~rni.
ture. Thirst is decidedly tnerea~ed,
but the dog does not swallow very
much of the water. This is because he
cannot swallow as his throat is becom-
ing paralyzed, a condition which will
shortly be followed by paralysis of the
Jaw, causing It to drop and the mouth
to remain open.

Whale Yields New Product
What may prove to be as valuable
to Norwoy as whale oU itself, Is a
new klnd of meat extract made from
whales. Experlments described as
highly successful have been carried
on in the Antarctlc aboard Norwe-
gian whalers. The greater par~ of
the world's supply of whale oi] Is
delivered in Norway. Although the
value of whale mea~ as food has
long been recognized only the oll of
the whale has been utllized, owing
to the difficulty of transporting the
meat from the Antarctic. No% how-
ever, the meat is being made into
a sort of meat flour aboard the
whalers. The flour Is taken back to
Norway, where a meat extract of a
very satisfactory character is being
produced.

HEALTH AND GOOD
LOOKS DEPEND ON
HOW YOU STAND
There's beauty in good posture, de.
elares Jeanette Eaton in the Par
eats' Magazine, and gives the follow.
lng three reasons why the average
person stands badly. First. comes
the possibility of a bodily weakness.
Second, part of the clothing may be
uncomfortable or badly adjusted.
Third, the individual is indifferent to
her sloop.
It is one thing to recognize a fault
and another to do something about
It. • Here follow a few practica.}
"don'ts" If we would acquire good
posture for ourselves or for our chil-
dren.
Don't wear high heels when work-
i~g or walking any distance
Don't go upstairs clumping or
stooping but hold the spine Just as
straight as you can.
Don't sit with legs crossed~thls
position puts a great strain on the
muscles of back and hips.
Don'i go without abdominal sup-
port unless you are taking a great
deal of exercise.
,Don't neglect to supply the right
table, chairs and light for yourself
and for your boys and girls who
have homework to do--and see that
their school does it, too.
As for the "dos"--here they are:
Hold your head well, chin up.
Try a little abdominal discipline.
Breathe deeply and often.
Take exercise, not necessarily s
daily dozen at a given period but
every now and again during the day
whenever It is possible to do so.
