OXE NEW POLICEMAN
MERELY A lilt.INMNO
The Common Council last night
did at least something in Out face
of the need for more patrolmen In
some sections of tha city. The ap
pointment of one additional patrol
man for the fifth ward was a species
of compromises in the face of con
ditions demanding action, do.ip.to
the the shortage of money to cover
any real increase in the police
torce -along the lines previously sug
. gested by the, poliee chief and the
police commission. One. additional
patrolman is better than none, how
ever." und the public, especially that
part of it living in the fifth ward, .
will be duly thankiul. When the
-' next city financial estimate of bud
get is made tip a way may be lound ;
to place the police force upon a ,
better numerical tooting by appro- i
priating enough money to cover the
cost of the additional patrolnn-n j
manifestly needed in the larger city.

A Chinese lizzie
By Amalie Mayer
I've got a problem on my hands,
My girl is going flooey!
Each time I say to her, "Let's eat,"
She says, "Let's get chop suey."
I love this girl so very much
I don't know what to do;
The proof is, though I hate the
junk,
I eat it with her, too.
She has a complex on Chinese,
She loves to play mah jong;
Has Chinese prints upon the wall
And It will not be long
Until, upon a Chinese rug
I fear she'll make me squat
While she serves tea, an almond
cake
With maybe a Kum Quat.
I'm really worried o'er the girl;
She seems to have good sense,
And yet each time I come to call
She burns Chinese incense!
A Chinese motif we're to have
When we are wed, e'er long;
I fear, if we should have a child
She'll call the kid Foo Young!

Q. What Is the best method of
removing a fishhook from the flesh?
A. When the barbed end of a
fishhook has entered the flesh, do
not attempt to remove it by pulling
it directly out. Such a procedure
will cause great laceration of the
tissues. The better plan is to de
press the shank of the hook, push
the point forward and outward in
an upward direction, and bring it
out on the surface at another point.
The barbed end is then cut off with
a wire cutter or a file, and having
been .removed, the hook can be c-x-tractcM
by pulling on the shank
without further damage to the tis
sues. Q. "Why Is It that strawberries
and red raspberries will not make
good jelly without the addition of

A. These are apt to be more or
less lacking in pectin or acid, or
both, and therefore will not make
good jelly by the ordinary methods.
This is especially the case if the
fruit is quite rip", because both
pectin and acid decrease as ripen
ing progresses.
