Use This Match-Box to Light Your Cigar in the Strongest 



Wind: 



Now comes an invention, patented by George Frank 

 \Vangh, a private in the U.-S. Army, which seems to solve 

 the difficulty of lighting a match in the wind. It is con- 

 tained in Popular Science Monthly, as follows: The de- 

 vice is simple. A small, round hole is made near one end 

 of the cover of an ordinary match-box. Some abrasive ma- 

 terial is pasted on the corresponding end of the tray itself. 

 In order to light your cigar, slide open the cover of the box 

 until the hole is free, insert your match in the hole and strike 

 it on the abrasive material on the end of the box. The re- 

 leased end of the cover provides a small walled-in space, in 

 the shelter of which the cigar can be quickly and conven- 

 iently lit. 



Sure you must carry your hunting license with you, as 

 this has been the law for years. If it was not there you 

 might go back home and get a permit after the warden had 

 caught you. Practice safety first by always toting your 

 license along. 



The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia has 

 been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge, 

 her first husband was named Robins, her second Sparrow, 

 the present Quale. There are now two young robins, one 

 sparrow and three little quales in the family. 



One grandfather was a Swan and another a Jay, but 

 he's dead now and a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk 

 ave., Eagleville, Canary Island, and we'll bet the fellow we 

 borrowed this item from is a Lyre and a relative of the 

 family. 



Backwoods Lights: 



During the "lightless nights" enforced during the late 

 war, even city folks learned to use backwoods lights, such 

 as blazing tallow dips, fir cones and pine knots. All these 

 appeared in the city of Philadelphia during the war.
