Giant's Causeway Made
Up of Number of Columns
Giant's causeway is a group of ba.
saltle recks on the north coast of
County Antrim, h'eland, elglit miles,
east northeast of Portrush, It con-
slsts of a wtst number of. columns,
generallly pentagonal or hexagonal.
The causeway proper Is a low pro-
montory formed of closely-packed col-
sums. Altogether there are about 40,-
~a~0 pillars, fitting Into each other al-
most perfectly, and Joined horizontal-
ly.
Various more or less detached groups
are known as the Giant's Loom, Giant's
Organ, Lady's Fan and so on. East
of the causeway proper Is the ~tlant's
Ampltheater, a small bay with cliffs
350 feet hlglh formed In Its upper part
of two tiers of basaltic columns from
60 to 80 feet in height. Beyond tits
Is Spanish bay, the scene of the wreck
of an armada vessel; and still farther
east the promontory of Pleaskln Head,
400 feet high, with double tiers of
lofty columns separated by a band of
ochre. The peculiar columnar struc-I
ture of the causeway rocks is shown
by geologists to result from the conJ
traction in cooling of the lava of
which they are composed.
The Giant's causeway derives Its
name from the legend which ascribes
Its construction to Finn M'Coul vr
FIngal, who bridged the channel be-,
tween Ireland and Scotland, in order
that the giants might pass from An-
trim to Staffs.
Perfection of Canning
Resulted From Two Wars
It Is a melanclmiy fact that many of
the peaceful arts either were born of
the necessities of war or were gen-
erously fostered by them--a circum-
stance indisputably true of modern
methods of keeping-food from decay.
It was two wars, observes the New
York Herald.Tribune, that brought ns
something like perfection In "canning"
--the Napoleonic and the American
Civil. Nicholas Appert won a prize of
12,000 francs from the French govern-
ment In 1809 for his almost completely
novel method of preserving foodstuffs
by sterilizing with heat and sealing
them In airtight containers, which in
his technique were glass. The use of
cans began about a hundred years ago,
but it was not until the Civil war that
they were used to a great extent. The
needs of northern armies far from
their service of supply In regions where
food resources were by no means
abnndant and the necessities of the
French navy at war with most of Eu-
rope and having a hard battle also with
scurvy In the late Eighteenth and early
Nineteenth centuries may be said to
Imve given us our commonest present

Do you shut out healthful fresh air from your home during winter months by keep-
ing all windows tightly closed? You wouldn't consider doing such a thing in summer,
now would you ?
It is especially important to keep the air of your home fresh and pure during
winter. Under the artificial conditions of winter indoor life, heavy demands are made
on the oxygen supply of your home. In the first place an adult breathes about 560
cubic feet of air e ,ery 24 hours. In addition to this, the heater in the room takes a
large supply of oxygen from the air because fuel will not burn without oxygen. Both
the heater and the occupants of the room are consuming the air. Therefore, it becomes
doubly important during winter to introduce a reasonable amount of fresh air from
the outside so that the air you breathe will be pure as well as warm and comfortable.
Incidentally, fresh air is easier to heat than "stale" air.
When open flame heaters are used exclusively it is of utmost importance to
have adequate ventilation and a circulation of heated air, if healthful conditions are
to exist. Proper ventilation should be provided through window openings, and pure
warmed,air should be kept circulating through connecting doors of all rooms.
America s Public Health Enemy Number One, the common cold germ, finds a fertile
field in an inadequatdy heated and poorly ventilated home.
Don't gamble witb a "cold"l

sician that will assist you to
guard against the common cold
gerra,
A simple method of providing a constant circulation of fresh air is to open the
window nearest the heater in each room slightly at the top and bottom. This permits
fresh, oxygen-laden air to replace the products of combustion caused by breathing
and by the fuel burning in the room. The overheated air which rises to the ceiling
circulates to other parts of the room and a more healthful air condition is the result.
Guard the health of your family this winter with proper ventilation and ade-
quately warmed fresh air in every room in the house. It's a simple precaution in
combating the common "cold".
