LIFE LARGE AND SMALL
Some interesting reflections on the size of living
beings were made by the noted scientist, Julian S. Hux
ley. in a recent article. Many of the facts which he re
lates are not only interesting, but surprising.
When we speak of living things in a broad sense,
we must include the vegetable kingdom, so the largest
living things are to be found among the trees of Cali
fornia. These incdentally, are also the oldest, with an
age of around 5,000 years.
These trees, some weighing nearly 1,000 tons, are
massive indeed when compared to the largest animal,
the whale, whose weight seldom reaches more than 100
tons. Yet a large elephant could maneuver comfortably
inside a whale’s skin.
Most wonderful of all is what is found in the smal
ler orders of life. We can see a flea, though with dif
ficult to catch him, yet 80,000 would scarcely weigh
an ounce.
Some of the insects which are hardly visible to
the naked eye are fitted out with “compound eyes, a
nice nervous system, three pairs of jaws and three
pairs of legs, veined wings and striped muscles." Tiny
birds weighing only 10 grams, or about as much as 10
large ants, fly thousands of miles in their migrations.
And ants, by the way, are the strongest living beings
in proportion to their size.
Man is about half-way in the scale between large
and small mammals, and when grown he contains about
a hundred million cells. He requires ail his brain as well
as his strength to cope with the great animals on one
side and the insects on the other. And then there are mi
crobes to worrv about.
The only way to keep speakeasies that way is to
make the customers go somewhere else to drink the1
stuff.

To err is human. And some cases about the only!
evidence that the erring brother is such.
“What’s in a name?” Miss Aliki Diplapakou of
Greece won a beauty contest in competition with girls ’
from 20 nations of Europe.
The engineers who straightened the Chicago river
might try their hands at straightening some other civic
currents in that vicinity.
“Dies in Mind Blast”—Alabama Journal headline.
Probably a new kind of brainstorm.
Chicago is to advertise the city’s good points. Well,
the bad ones have had plenty of publicity.

bandit, who last night boarded a
Santa Fe Chief, Chicago bound as it ;
left Los Angeles station. Seven ;
minutes later he dropped from the

actress, of rings valued at $7,500
and taking $575 from the husband
of another passenger,
j Locking the porter in a vestibule,
the robber then entered the com
partment occupied by Miss Nixon’s

LETUP RIGID TRAINING
ORANGEBURG, N. J., May 29, (/P) !
—After what the scribes reported |
jas a violent display of temper, Jack
Sharkey was regarded as closely
approaching the peak of training
for his fight for the new heavy
weight title against Max Schmeling j
of Germany on the New York Milk ;
Fund card June 12. The Boston i
sailor boy was so cross in his work- !
out that an almost immediate letup i
in the rigid training was expected !

A battle Creek physician says.
"Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other
cause.”
But immediate relief has been
; found. A tablet called Rexall Or
derlies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the
system into the lazy. dry. evacuat
ing bowel system call colon. The
water loosens the dry food waste
and causes a gentle, thorough, na
tural movement without forming
a habit or ever increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipa
tion. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at
night. Next day bright. Get 24
