HOW -
MARINE! LIFE GIVES LIME
FROM THE OCEAN WATERS —
Where ocean waters ore suffi
ciently warm and clear, and move
rapidly enough to supply the
needed food, corals are busy sal
vaging the element calcium from
the dissolved salts, and building
It Into reefs or islands of car
bonate of lime, that may some day
develop a soil covering in the serv
ice of man, writes Dr. H. J. Wheel
er In the Rural New-Yorker. Great
accumulations of carbonate of lime
from such o source ure the basis
of the everglade soils of the lower
east coast of Florida where, with
the aid of fertilizers and mangan
ese sulphate, tomatoes are raised
In great quantities for northern
markets.
In the ocean, at great depths,
minute shell nulhlers are also at
work building oceanic ooze, that at
some distant time may contribute
its quota of calcium carbonate to
the building of new lands. At. high
er levels the familiar oysters and
clams, and thousands of other hard
shelled forms of marine animals,
ure always busily building shells
of carbonate of lime out of the
dissolved calcium' salts that may
have been contributed to the ocean
by all of the landed areas of the
world. It Is such shells as these,
that have been transformed into
the world's great deposits of lime
stone and marble. They have con
tributed to the building of some of
the richest soils of the world—
“limestone soils.”
How Limburger Got Name;
How It la Manufactured
Limburger cheese takes its name
from the town of Limburg In Bel
gium but Is widely manufactured In
Germany, other northern European
countries and some sections of the
United Stutes. It Is made from fresh
ly drawn and still warm cow’s milk.
The milk is heated to a temperature
of P4-PC degrees F., then curdled with
rennet. The curl Is cut, partly drained
and dipped into forms and allowed to
drain by gravity. The cheeses are
salted on the surface and placed on
shelves In the curing rooms where
they are ripened at a temperature of
58 04 degrees F. During the ripening
period they are rubbed and washed
several times in salt water. Limburg
er has a smooth texture, the consist
ency of butter and a strong penetrat
ing odor. It is very digestible—and
its only real drawback Is that It suf
fers from halitosis.
How “Tap»” Originated
It Is Impossible to say exactly when
the custom of sounding a farewell note
over a deceased soldier, or the firing
of volleys, originated. The ancient
Itonmns. at the burial of military cit
izens. gathered around the bier and
called the dead three times by name,
after which the word vale (farewell)
was pronounced and the ceremony con
cluded. This would appear to he the
origin of the three salutes. Taps is
the bugle call for lights out. or the
last uction of the day, and corresponds
to the farewell. The precise call origi
nated In the United States, hut Is
paralleled by the Kngllsh Last Post
and the Retraite of France.
How Bird* Propoia
Many birds propose marriage to one
another, much as we do ourselves, by
the offer of love tokens. Penguins of
the Antarctic signify their desire to
become engaged by picking up stones
and laying them at the feet of their
enchanters—a hint that they should
make a nest ot stones. Our little warb
lers offer leaves or bits of grass to
one another when courting. A house
sparrow will lay at the feet of his
ladylove the petal of a crocus. Usual
ly she rakes no notice. Nesting herons
present each other with sticks, while
a courting cock grebe will suggestive
ly offer n young hen a hunch of wa
ter-weeds.—Answers Magazine.
How Fourragere I* Be*towed
The Fourragere Is bestowed on en
tire units for special exploits or gen
eral excellence. There are three
clnsses: First class curries the red
cord of the 1-eglon of Honor, second
class carries the green and yellow cord
of the Medale Mllitalre and third
,£lass carries the green and red cord
MOVIE STARS' SALARIES
From what appears to be a
reliable source, we are in
formed that some rather dras
tic cuts have been made in the
salaries of movie stars of late.
In fact, some of them have had
to take two or three cuts, even
as you and we.
A table recently published
shows the actual weekly sal
ary figures of some of the
Metro stars. Weekly, mind
you, not monthly or yearly sal
aries. We quote a few:

How “Sink or Swim” Started
Tills phrase often heard in modern
speech literally means that some one
Is on his own resources and can de
pend on no one else for aid. It is sup
posed to have originated in the days
■when witches were hound and thrown
into the water, if they sank they were
guilty, nnd If they floated they were
declared innocent.
How Wampum Was Used
Wampum belts were used In the
ratification of every Important treaty
negotiated with the eastern tribes from
the early Colonial period down to the
great intertribal treaty of Prairie dn
Chien In 1825. Such belts usually had
the beads arranged in symbolic figures.
How Much Colt Weigh*
The ollice of horse husbandry says
that a colt at birth generally weighs
about one-tenth of the dam’s weight.
For example, a 1,000-pound mare will
generally have a foal weighing about
.100 pounds at birth.
$6,000 a week to $3,900; Nor
ma Shearer from $5,00U xo
$3,250; Joan Crawford from
$3,000 to $1,950; John Barry

Wallace Beery from $2,500 to

from $2,000 to $1,300; Jean
Harlow, Buster Keaton, Jim
my Durante, Robert Montgo
mery and Lewis Stone are
slashed from $1,500 a week to
only $975.
The above list includes only
the* headliners of one produ
cing company, but it may be
assumed that it fairly repre
sents the salary range of other
producers. It has been said
that in their prime Gloria
Swanson, Mary Pickford and
several others received salaries
much higher than the highest
quoted in the foregoing, and
at one time Tom Mix was re
puted to be drawing $20,000 a
week. But maybe 'that was
only press agent talk.
Anyway, kind reader, when
you see your favorite stars on
the screen, remember that they
may be doing their best to ap
pear happy and gay, when in
real life they are worrying
along on salaries ranging from
only $975 to $3,900 a week
LURE OF GOLD HAS
CHANGED HISTORY
Although there are three
rarer and more precious met
als, the element gold in the
histories of all civilizations
has been the dominant, the
most alluring, the most highly
coveted of all metals. Super
ior to changes in chemistry, it
retains not only its psycho
logical prestige for power,
wealth, and adornment, but
remains the world’s only un
fallen measure of value used
in the domestic and interna
tional exchange of goods.
The lure of gold led. the An
cient Chinese to comb streams
flowing from the mountains of
Thibet. It caused the Persians
to cross the plains of Turkestan
and Mongolia into distant
Altai. The early Egyptians
mined for gold in Northern
Africa, while still later Phoeni
cian traders searched the
known confines cf the old
world for the treasured metal.
