American courts have held that
an auctioneer is not compelled to
accept the highest bid. In a Min-
nesota ease, a house was sold to
the first bidder for $675 after the
second and only other bidder had
offered $680. The auctioneer re-
fused to consider such a trifling
increase. So the second bidder
sued but lost his case on the
ground that no contract exists un-
it the offer to purchase is ac-
cepted by the auctioneer.

Reeentiy, after 16 miles of co-
~x.ial cable had been installed
three feet underground between
two radio stations in England, it
was discovered that the outer tube
was losing the nitrogen pumped
through it to insulate the inner
conductor. So amyl mercaptan,
a gas having an odor similar to
that of cats, was introduced and
m dog taken over the route. He
dug in 14 spots and found the
leaks.

"The Tale of the Galloping Tooth"
HELLO EVERYBODY:
You may have been in France during the unpleasantness
that went on there in 1914-1918. You may have seen towns shelled
tea crumbling ruin. You may have seen regiments
by poison gas. You may have seen men torn to pieces by burst.
lug grenades and families pauperized and turned out of their
homes by the onward plunge of the great German war machine
You may think you know aH about the horrors of war, but
Aspinwall of Rochelle Park, N. J., will tell you you haven't
seen anything.
Don was somewhere in the VKlers Cotteret area on special
duty with the Second division. A deafening barrage had been
rolling back and forth across the lines for more than two hours.
The Germans were tossing every form of pyrotechnic display in
their bag of tricks. Huge 9.2's roared overhead like great ex-
press trains. Machine-gun bullets zipped by. An occasional ash
can from a miniewer£er battery would tumble lazily through
the early morning haze to spread itself with a devastating roar
in front of the barbed wire. It was a swell time to be someplace
else. But horror? Horror, nothing! The real horror was going
on right inside Don Aspinwall's face.
Don Had a Toothache.
It was undoubtedly the outstanding disaster of the whole
war. It had been going on for 24 hours and Don was con-
vinced that ff it went on two hours longer nothing could keep the
Germans from taking Paris. And Don was miles away from any pea-
|able agency of relief. The only thing that could have stopped that
ache would be a weLl-placed bullet, and Don was all in favor of th~

Uarly effective weapon."
Attempts at Suicide Came Back Labeled, "No Dice."
But no German officer would have been sucker enough to
halt such an effective blow to the AWed eause. All Den's attempts
at suieide came back to him labeled, "No Dice." He had to
wait until he was relieved from duty and then, in a semi-delirium
he lit out for the nearest British medical unit two miles away.
Eventually he got there and was ushered into the presence of a
brass hat who turned him ever to a young medleal lieutenant.
"It took him five minutes to diagnose the ease ef acute
toothache," says Don, aml then he seated me in an Iml~mvls~
dental ehair and looked worried. It seems there wasn't any local
anesthetic in that part of the country aad.--well--what to do?
Don told him what to do. He told him to get that tooth out of
there and to hell with the anesthetic. That didn't seem quite cricket to
the young EngLishman. He demurred for a moment. Then he seemed
to have an idea and said, "All right, Yank. But I say, it will bali.v-well
hurt you more than it does me."
"With those words of comfort," says Don, '*he stepped out for a
ninute. When he came back I watched him open a shabby black bag
and produce a none-too-clean pair of ordinary gas pliers. He had no
anesthetic, but glancing behind me I knew the worst. A stolid-faced
six-foot Yorkshire orderly had sneaked in. He stood at my back toying
with the barrel of a massive British Webley navy type revolver and
gauging the distance to certain sections of my skull with a practiced
eye, I didn't have long to think about that though."
Don didn't have any time to think about it at all. The minute
he turned his head he felt something hit it that felt like a nudge
from a hewitser. There was a blinding flash and a mliUon stars,
lfla-wheels, eoustellatioas and blue lights danced before his eyes.
"I began to fay into a deep, black void," he says. "At last,
I thought, the Germans had planted a nice, Juicy shell under the
dental eha/r, and I was all ready to put forth my hand and
reeeive my harp s~l halo. Then I began to be aware of a distort-
eertlng faet. I eonid stiU feel a d-n throb where my toothaehe
had been, aml now there was another dull throb in the baek of
my bead."
Gradually both old and new throbs increased in intensity. The black
before Den's eyes faded to a gray haze, and through it he began to see
the features of the young British medical attendant. There was a large
moving blur behind the attendant. The haze cleared a little more and
Don could see it was the Yorkshire orderly. The orderly was calmly
wiping the butt of his Webley and Don distinctly remembers noticing that
several brown hairs etill adhered to that butt. Don's hair is brown,
too. He says that might, or might not, have been a coineidence.
And What a Climax.
And then the doctor spoke.
Den couldn't hear what he was saying very well, but the picture of
what happened was beginning to take shape in his brain. That York-
shire orderly had been the anesthetic. He had socked Don on the coco
with the butt of that revolver. And now the medical attendant seemed
to be apologetic about it.
Den stopped Ida.."Don't worry, dec," he said. "It's all right
wlth me. It was • swell Job, even ff yo~r neethet/e was a bit
rough." WNU--Y
The attendant shook his head and began to repeat his words. "Then,"
Don, "my confused brain began to function as I heard that Eng-
tlJhman say, "Oh, I'm sorry, Yank, but I haven't done anything yet,
you know. You see my orderly worked too fast and I had to wait until
you came out of It SO YOU COULD TELL ME WHICH TOOTH IT WASI' "

Scientists Find Locusts Are of 2 Distinct Kinds
There are two races of the peri-
odical cicada--the seventeen-year
'ace and another that appears ev-
ery 13 years. Scientists have found
no differences in the two except
that one remains underground in the
larva sand pupa stages four years
longer than the other.
Every year is locust year in some
~fferart of the country. There are 17
ent broods of the 17 year race

the 17-year race. The 13-year race
is numbered from 18 to 30. Broods
are thus easily distinguished.
There is overlapping of the terri-
tories occupied by the two races and
also by the different broods. In
some sections, however, the locusts
only appear at 13 or 17-year inter-
vais, indicating the presence of only
one brood.
The periodical cicadas are not
found in the western part of the
United States. They live mainly in
the wooded regions from the Atlan-
tic coast westward to central Ken-
Heart Trouble
May Be Result
Of Infections
By DI~. JAMES W. BARTON
APROFESSOR of medicine
was examining the blood
pressure of two sisters, one
aged 70 and the other aged 64,
and after feeling
the blood vessels
in the wrist, stated
that the sister
aged 64 was really
older than the one
TODAY'S!

aged 70, because her blood ves-
sels were harder and her blood
pressure was therefore higher.
The one aged 70 had had a fan-
fly of nine, whereas the one
aged 64 had had but one child.
The older sister had also had a
more difficult time financially.
The physician pointed out
that, despite her large family
and her more difficult time
financially, there were two
reasons why she was really
younger physically than her
younger sister. First, she had
had to meet so many more diffi-
culties she had thus learned how to "
meet and overcome them. There
would be, therefore, less tenseness '
or tightening of the blood vessels
from emotional disturbances. Sec-
ond, she had had all her teeth re-
moved and dental plates fitted at a
much earlier age than had her sis-
ter.
"As psychic (mental or emotion-
• al) influences have a great effect in
raising blood pres-
sure, mental hygiene
is very Important in
the treatment" of
high blood pressure.
Cultivation of calm-
ness, moderation,
avoidance of haste,
ambition, anger,
anxiety and excite-
ment--there should
be seeking of the
quiet easy Life. The
Dr. Barton 'blood pressure'
should never be dis-
cussed and blood pressure examina-
tions should be few and far apart."
Exercise Is Important.
Rest and exercise must be pre-
scribed as needed. Regular after-
dinner naps, a rest cure, a vaca-
tion for the nervous overworked is
Just as important as is exercise to
the easy-going, overweight individu-
al. Fresh air and sunshine are good
for both. Most individuals with high
blood pressure eat too much and ex-
ercise too little.
The second cause of high blood
pressure to be prevented "or correct-
ed is infection. The infection may
come from tonsils, teeth, gall blad-
der, intestine or other parts of the
body. With each in/ection may come
just a slight inflammation of the lin-
ing of the blood vessels, with the
result that the muscular or elastic
coat of the blood vessels is replaced
by a hard tissue.
Liver Acts
As Natural Filter
A few years ago I found that I
was writing about the liver so often
that I practically stopped writing
about it. To me it is still king of
the organs, and the old saying "life
depends upon the liver" is replaced
by "health depends upon the liver."
We are not apt to think of the liver
as the organ most important to life,
because stopping the heart beat
means immediate death, whereas
stopping or sluggishness of the liver
still allows life to go on for a con-
siderable time. But from the health
standpoint, the liver is your most
important organ.
Why? Poisons entering the body
by way of the mouth or directly
into the blood are immediately
seized by the liver ceils, and the
great majority of them are held by
the liver and thus prevented from
doing damage. Harmful substances
• re broken down by the liver, are
rendered harmless and pass out of
the system in the urine. The liver
is nature's great filter.
Dye Test Often Used.
Thus, in testing the "health" of
the liver and its ability to remove
poisons from the blood, what is
known as the dye test is made
whereby a dye is taken by mouth
or into a vein and the blood is ex-
amined at intervals to see how long
it takes the liver to remove these
poisons. A definite amount of the
dye should be removed within a def-
inite time.
What can you and I do in the
way of keeping the liver in good
condition to do aU its jobs, including
filtering out poisons from the blood?
The two ways to keep liver healthy
and active are (a) by bending ex-
ercises (knees straight) and breath-
ing exercises, both of which
"squeeze" this large, soft organ, and
(b) by eating small meals (even
four a day are eaten), thus not over.
working the liver. A little fat--..
cream, butter, bacon- eaten at
breakfast time is a good stimulator
of the liver procssses and helps
empty the gall bladder, thus pre.

Buckram and Tacks
To Stiffen Valance
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS
~ ~'~EAR MRS. SPEARS: A
~" friend gave me a copy of
your Book 3 and I can't tell you
what a transformation is takingi
place in my home because of it.1
For a long time I have wanted liv-
ing room curtains with smoothi~
fitted valances stiffened with
buckram. Could you give me step-
by-step directions for making
them?"
A four-inch valance shelf; buck-
ram and thumbtacks are the only
"extras" needed. 1: Cut the buck-
tam the exact size of the finished
valance--no seam allowances. The
chintz for the valance and the fac-
ing material are cut larger as in-
dicated. 2: Outline the scallops
by drawing around the buckram,
3: Stitch the chintz and facing
with right sides together. Steps
4, 5, and 6: Trim the scailops;
clip between them; then turn
and press. 7: Insert the buck-
ram; fitting it smoothly into the
scallops. Turn in and stitch th~
top; allowing ½ inch to extend~
above the buckram. 8: Tack this
soft edge to the shell
