Fellinger, who announced that lie had closed a substation in Hy. 8727 an East Orange drugstore because the station had sold $90,000 worth of money orders to one customer, a truck driver, revealed that postal authorities had fathomed the mystery of the sales, which brought an original money order of $80 to one CUT FLOWERS Special Attention given Parties of (2,000. Though the truck driver had no money at the outset of the transactions, no charges have been made or KINGS Forget-Me-N- ot FLORAL are contemplated against either the truck driver or the druggist, since no shortage or irregularities in the books of the substation resulted from the business. The transactions, Mr. Fellinger explained, were in themselves simple and were based on the postal rule that a substation does not huve to turn into the main postofflee the proceeds of its money order business until the business day following the sale. Six months ago the truck driver told his friend, the druggist, that he had to make a payment of (80 on a truck. He did not have the money, but said ' that his sister had agreed to lend it to him the next day. The druggist made out a money order for $80, which the driver cashed to make his payment. Makes Out New Order. The next day the driver told the druggist that his sister had been unable to lend him any 'money. After some deliberation the druggist made out another money order, slightly larger, to cover the amount due for the first. The driver cashed this and returned the cash to the druggist. For six months a new order was made out and cashed each day. On the first money order of (80 the truck driver paid 20 cents. The second order, which had to include the 20 cents on the first order, totaled (80.42, the rate for money orders from (80.01 to (100 being 22 cents. The largest money order issued is for (100. When the payments on each of the money order had brought the total to more than (100, two orders had to be bought each day, the first at the rate and the second at the following rate: six cents on orders from one cent to (2.50; eight cents on those from (2.51 to (5; 11 cents on those from (5.01 to (10; 13 cents on (10.01 to (20, and 15 cents on (20.01 to "Flowers That Satisfy 2137 Highland Drive Hyland 8199 II.

A doctor, who says he knocked down a leopard with a right to the jaw, Joined two lions in their cage to prove to members of the British Medical association in conference here that lions can be trained to perform circus tricks without cruelty. Dr. Richard H. Hunter, senior lecturer in anatomy at Queens university, Belfast, and a member of the conference, entered the cage wearing full evening dress. He gave the demonstration at the Belfast zoo, where he is curator of animals. "I began by noticing that young lions, if left to themselves do not he said. take enough exercise, "The keeper and I, therefore, began to enter their cages and chase the lions around. I then realized that our lions would be more valuable and more interesting to visitors if they were trained to do a few tricks. "There are four stages in the training of a lion, he continued. First they must be trained to walk in circles; then to lie at the word of command; after that to ait up and jump over hurdles. And as their final achievement to climb on pedestals and pose. Dr. Hunter's recipe for training his lions is "meat and kindness. He never uses the whip. Describing his encounter with the leopard, Dr. Hunter said: "1 was coming in the zoo when I aw a leopard running full speed down the slope with a keeper well in the rear. Without stopping to think I caught the leopards tail as it was climbing the wall beside the public road. It did not like being pulled back, and mauled me about the face a bit. 1 caught it a blow just below the jaw and knocked it over backward. ld Infant Smokes Pipe and Cigars New York.

Regimental Colors Serve oa Official Army Record The Lancashire Fusiliers wear roses in their hats when celebrating to recall the battle of Minden, where the Twentieth Foot, East Devonshire regiment (which became the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1881) fought in rose gardens, says a writer in Pearsons London Weekly. The Royal Welch Fukiliers wear the flash, a black silk rosette. It once protected the red coat from the powdered pigtail. The Gloucestershire regiment, the old. Twenty-eightwear their regimental badge on the back as well as the front of their caps. This is because in the Peninsular war they were once attacked both from the front and rear and had to face about to repel the enemy. The Royal Fusiliers, Buffs and Royal Marines have the exclusive right of marching with bayonets fixed through the city of London, because they were formed in the Seventeenth century out of the citys trained bands of militia. But it is generally on the regimental colors that the regiment writes its history. For instance, the kings color of the South Wales Borderers bears a silver wreath in memory of the lives that were given to save it from capture at Isandhlwana. The Queens, Royal West Surrey, have a Paschal lamb on the regimental flag. It was the crest of Queen Catherine of Bragan-zin whose honor the regiment was raised by King Charles II to garrison Tangiers Regiments with a record of service in Egypt have a sphinx on their flag; a tiger means that the unit fought in Bengal; a castle surmounting a key represents the fortress of Gibraltar; the regiments with it on their flag served through the four years siege of 1779-8A rose below a crown denotes the six British regiments which fought in the Dutch service in the Seventeenth century. In fact, the regimental color is the regiment's record and it is to honor these deeds from a great past that people take off their hats when the colors are carried bv.

A few scattered bunches of grapes were left on the vines at harvest time. The concentration of grape sugars provided a new fruit. In the First century, Asia Minor .became the center of production; by 1300 A. D., Spain and Hungary were chief markets, and Greece competed. But in the Twentieth century, Americas California, in the San Joaquin valley, with an average production of over 200,000 tons annually, .became the world market. It was early in 1834, writes Kirtley Scott in the Louisville Courief Journal, that a cargo of raisins was brought around the Horn into California from Boston and sold at a It was the inception, high price. this shipment of grapes dried on the vine, for a giant industry which markets 400,000,000 pounds of a single product. ,.

Chemists admit that it will cost more to recover gasoline from coal than from crude oil. But that is one of the things that future generations will have to do to pay for the current reckless expenditure of natural oil resources. In the future, chemists will be able to produce from coal almost any desired hydrocarbon product or derivative which is now refined from petroleum. By the use of catalytic reactions, chemists already have laid the foundations for the production of explosives, dyes, drugs and medicines which are now produced only as coal tar and INSURANCE river from Jackson.
