Show PAGE SIX THE PARK RECORD Thursday, June 2. 1933 Stone of III Luck There are one or two theories that opals are unlucky, says a writer in London Answers Magazine. One is that this precious stone is affected by chances of temperature, expand ing with heat and contracting with cold. When it expands, it forces open the setting so that, when it contracts, con-tracts, it is apt to drop out and get lost. Another theory is that the tone, being comparatively soft, is Dt to lose its color by the surface wearing. It is curious to note that in the olden days the opal was sup posed to bring its owner good luck. Lake of Many Colors High up in the Caucasus moun tains in Asia lies Lake Nimrud, in the cud of n extinct crater. It is one of the remembered bits of scenery that is a soul-feeding Je- light. For Lake Nimrud is unique in that some cause chemical springs, probably has given it, at different points, a variety of intense colors: vivid blues, purples, greens and yel lows, all mereing in a great har mony of beauty. Started Use of "Hello" According to biographers of Thomas A. Edison, he is given credit for the use of "hello" on the telephone. When it was first used people were accustomed to saying "Are you there?" or "Are you readv to talk?" One day Edison took uo the receiver and said "hel lo." The word immediately became popular. Derivation of Word "Budget" The word "budget" is derived from the old French "bougette," meaning a wallet. The use of the word in its present sense is from the custom of bringing into the house of commons all the papers pertaining to matters of expenditure and laying them on the table. Indians Ate Many Plants Early North American Indians are known to have used more than 1.100 different kinds of plants for food.

This placed him in an embarrassing embar-rassing and uncomfortable position because some of his officers were longer in the service and thus above him in seniority. Several times he considered sending his resignation to the President, but many residents of the state met in town meetings here and there and passed resolutions resolu-tions urging the President to promote pro-mote Harrison to a major general ship. This was done. Growing Gunpowder An Indian chief once asked a trader visiting him how powder for their guns was produced. The trader informed him that powder was grown and sold him seeds for the purpose. The seeds were sown. That next year another trader came, was kindly received, but his wares taken away from him. Press ing the Indian chief for payment, the chief replied that as soon as they gathered their crop of powder they would pay him. Strength of Hair Dark hair is much stronger than light hair.

Golden hair will support nothing more than two ounces, brown hair will hold up three, and dark brown hair an extra half -ounce. Ohio's State House The state house at Columbus, Ohio, was completed in 1859. It took 20 years to build it.

Dog Man's Friend, but No one likes to quarrel with the statement that the dog is man's best friend. In fact, we all like to believe it without question. But neighborhood "dogs that insist on staining prized ornamental evergreens ever-greens and shrubbery certainly do put a heavy strain on friendship. Home owners have faced this problem sadly, angrily and ineffectuallyuntil inef-fectuallyuntil recently a very simple solution came to light. All that you do is spray the lower branches of your evergreens and shrubs with a little nicotine sulphate sul-phate mixed in water. It's harmless harm-less to plants harmless to the dogs and brings a tremendous relief to frayed tempers. You see, the desired result comes because dogs do not like the nicotine sulphate sul-phate odor and give a wide berth to any spot where that odor is found.
