Sulphur Stone Sandstone Is of little value as a building material, as it will not stand pressure fit excess of some 8,000 pounds per square inch. Iteccnt ex peasments by the United States board of standards indicate a cheap method of making sandstone as strong as granite. The stone is cut, then soaked in melted sulphur for several hours. The sulphur permeates the structure and, when cold, blocks will stand a pressure of ‘10,000 pounds compres sion.

'"THOUSANDS A of users have wondered at the quickness of the action of Resinol Ointment and Soap. The answer is that it is not a Eurrace treatment, but one tnat reaches the depths of the pores and attacks the source or the disorder, starting the healing right. The first touch relieves the itching, burning and soreness and a few days’ persistent use rarely fails to clear away the trouble. When the skin is once re stored to its normal condition, the daily use of Resinol Soap is generally sufficient to keep it healthy. Ideal for the com plexion—unsurpassed for the hath and shampoo. Ask your druggist what he knows about the Resinol products. Resinol HAPPINESS A BY-PRODUCT OF WORK From Adventures In Contentment by David Grayson. Happiness, I have disbovored. Is nearly always a rebound from hard work. It Is one of the fol lies of men to imagine that they can enjoy mere thought, or emo tion, or sentiment. As well try to eat beauty! For happiness must be tricked! She loves to see men at work. She loves sweat, weariness, self-sacrifice. She will be found, not in palaces, but lurking in cornfields and fac tories and hovering over littered desks. She crowns the uncon scious head of the busy child. If you look up suddenly from hard work you will see her, but if you look too long she fades sorrow fully away. TODAY BY ARTHUR BRISBANE It is all right *to die quietly, but men and nations ought not to live too quietly. If a farmer works all his life with nothing to show for it, he ought to complain and he ought to show "un rest." Unrest, discontent, blaming and demanding, are the foundations of everything worth while. There was unrest in this country i.i 1776. There was unrest when the tea went overboard in Boston harbor. Dis content is the mainspring of pro gress. There isn’t enough of it. - i Many years ago this writer sug gested that the flying problem would be solved by transmission ot electrio power without wires. Power sta tions at Niagara Falls and other points, would supply the power, and machines flying above, would "pick it up." Now Edison, who exhibited his first incandescent electric light just 45 years ago, predicts the age of "power transmission by wireless." When that conies, you may see gigantic flying machines going around the world year after year, six miles up, where no strong winds blow, rarely landing, carying small planes to drop passengers at New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, Manila and so on, ail the way around. - i How fast we travel along the road of science! Forty five years ago, Edison's first incandescent lamp shed its feeble light. The other night, fliers, prac tising in the dark on Long Island, sailed down to the ground, following the Shining ray of a searchlight with more than 1,000,000 candlepowor, slanting at the right angle and safely guiding them to the ground. •- i Soon light will be almost as cheap as darkness. Every street and high way in the country will be lighted as thoroughly as the main traffic of great, cities. Crime will vanish under light, as disease germs wilt under sunlight. And there vill be no lost "hours.'' Machines will be grinding out their wealth 24 hours a day, with men in three shifts of eight hours (or better, four shifts of six hours,) superintend ing the production. - i Mrs. Willow, widow, aged 39, ap peared before a jury accused of or dering her young admirer. Shadol, aged 18, to kill her husband. The jury finds her guilty of mur der in the second degree. But Mrs. Willow could not possibly be guilty of murder in the second degree. If she planned the murder, and ordered Shadel to carry it out, that was pre meditated murder, and therefore murder in the first degree. If she didn’t plan the murder she was not guilty at all Perhaps the jury acted on the theory that somathli.g ought to be done about the fact that the lady’s morals left something to be desired. Or it might hav$ been chivalrous reluctance to hang a lady. — —" — I "Criticism Is easy, art is difficult.” MacDonald, labor prime minister of the British empire, discovers in his turn the truth of the old saying. It is easy to put a new "Utopia” . with happiness and plenty for everybody on paper, or in a speech. But doing the thing when power comes is dif ferent. --■ i Lloyd George attacks MacDonald, saying the labor party promised to find jobs for everybody, and goes out of office with unemployment greater than when labor entered office. Lloyd George attacks MacDonald labor also for lending money to bol shevist Russia. But Lloyd George, only the other day promising the British that he “would hang the kaiser,” now favors lending hundreds of millions to Germany. England wants to do business with Russia. Why attack MacDonald for trying to make it possible? —- t The British elections will answer an old question: do working men ever stick together long? In tills coun try politicians answer, no. England very likely, will answer otherwise. ————— i Great Britain takes woman suf frage more seriously than, it is taken here, where we allow them to vote but, apparently, don't think much of them in public of.'lce. Forty-one women are candidates for parliament in this election. They include ‘‘noblewromen,’' with assorted titles, one lady formerly a domestic servant, and one stenographer. What ever you think about the British, you must grant that they possess a genuine brand of democracy. A Modest Man. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. ‘‘Professor, you are known as a pro found student. 1 want to get your ad vice.” "Perhaps It would be better not to come to a student for advice," said the professor mildly.

This discovery made recently by the Japanese naval survey *';lp Man shu, has been announced by the navy authorities. The new “deep" measures 32,»I35 feet, or more than six miles. It exceeds by 548 feet the hitherto great est known ocean depth, the famous Marianne trench. Boys Do Not Realize Bad Bargain in Catering to Taste for Dissipation From the Omaha Bee. “Omaha is just a wide place in the road,” jauntily declares a boy of 20, who has confessed to a long series of burglaries. ‘‘We will be out in eight or nine years.” Perhaps even before that. In the meantime, he will be kept on a road that has wide spots, not even as wide as Omaha. The path down which his feet will wander during the eight or nine years lie looks forward to will take him from the cell house to the mess hall, to the workshop and back to his ccllhouse. It will be “stepping/ but not the sort he says he spent from $30 to $100 a night on. Ho will learn a new step. Instead of the “one-step” it will be the “four-step”—from one end of his short cell to the other, two steps each way, four for the round trip. He was out of a job and had a “disgust.” So did his partner, and they stole money to spend on dissipation. Out of the burglar ies they may have received several hundred dollars each, certainly not as much ns $1,000. In the eight years they expect to spend at Lincoln, if paid laborer’s wages only, they would earn $14,000 each. On the scale of a union musician, they would earn more than $20,000 each. Looks like a pretty high price to pay for a few nights of “step ping,” doesn’t it! From 20 to 28, the glorious years of youth, that should be filled with the joys of discovering each day a new delight in the world, will be spent in prison. Instead of the won ders of new experience with each rising of the sun, there will be the monotonous repetition of a dull routine. Broom-making, maybe, or something as inspiring. No wanderlust will be gratified. No smart “girls,” who think a man should be lavish to the point of reckless ness with his money will enliven their leisure hours. Sundown will find them “at home” in a cell, and 4 in the morning will find them asleep. ... , . Eight vears of regular habits, with no dissipations, may breed in them a wild desire to “step” even harder. More likely, though, long before that time has elapsed they will realize how hollow and empty the excitement they sought, and how all out of propor tion is the price they are paying. For with it goes that which can not be bought with money, a good Yiame. If the law went to limit of Mosaic justice, they would be requir ed in addition to make whole the loss of those from whom they stole to get money to waste in profligate pursuit of disreputable pleasure. That would make the lesson complete for them. ENDURANCE. Lord Byron.

Thrift Not Merely Saving. From the Boston Transcript. What is thrift? Does it mean any thing more than Just saving money? Recently an elderly woman in New York lost her lifetime savings, amounting to $500, which she was carrying in a bag sewed in her clothing. Postmaster General New made the statement not long ago that $1, 000,000,000 a year Is lost by the people of the United States who pur chase fraudulent securities through the mall—an amount, by the way. equal to two-thirds of the estimated total cost of government in the Unit. *1 States, including federal, county, city, town and village ex penses. The newspapers frequently tell us of cases where savings have been swept, away through carelessness or cupidity. What, therefore, did these per sons gain by saving their money? Would they not have been Just ns well off had they spent their funds as they earned them? These questions, which quite naturally arise In the minds of many, are but indications of the need of a more general understanding of real thrift. It Is thrifty to save money. It is Just as much a part of thrift to know what to do with it after it has been saved. Gilbert’s Mission to Europe. /Yom the Richmond Times. After all, youth is, perhaps, • what Europe needs at this moment more than anything else. It needs to get out of the old rut in which the elder statesmen have held It all these years. The vigor and the strength and the clear outlook of youth would do wonders In bringing the Continent up to the level of modwn ideals. Mr. Gilbert may be the symbol of a new day in Europe. Disappointed. Frotn the Chicago News. When the policeman found him he was wandering round the outskirts of a country fair ground which the rain had made Into a shocking puddle. Struck by his behavior, the officer ac costed him. "What's the matter?” he asked. "Rost anything?” The man hesitated and then In dis appointed tones he told his story. "No; It’s not that, but I've been taken in. One of those chaps at the club last night told us there was a terrible quagmire at the fair ground, but I've looked In svery cage and I can't find It." Where Fashions Come From. From Harvard Business Review. For women's wearing apparel most of the styles originate in Paris. The couturiers of Paris are referred to generally a3 the dictators of fashion. As a matter of fact, they could mors accurately bo described as persons engaged In trying to build a reputa tion as stylo leaders by drawing from all sorts of sources Ideas with which they hope to catch the public fancy. Back of the couturiers are tho de signers of fabrics, laces, embroi deries, trimmings and other dress parts. It Is an important part of tho couturler'3 task to know what these designers are doing and to work with them In the development of new colors or new effects. The couturiers are thus assemblers of existing new creations as well as designers on their own account. Their designs are bnsed on cur rent waves of popular Interest—a color scheme from Egypt, some new or revived Idea in draping or In fabric or In decoration based on some pop ular interest likely to prove attrac tive by the time large scale produc tion can be made effective. It should be made plain that these creators of fashions really have two separate purposes In mind. One pur pose Is to establish and maintain a reputation as original and dominating creators; the other is to make a Un ited number of garments to be sold at a high price to a small circle of clients drawn to them on account of this reputation for leadership. They are tho portrait painters of the textile business. The few gowns they make are sold at "High-art" prices. It should be remembered, however, that even at these price levels the business Is sharply com petitive. The Ideal Office Girl From The Detroit News. Here arc the ideas of several em ployers in Detroit, about what con stitutes an ideal office girl; "She must be able to keep her mouth shut.” "Must not waste time In talking. "Should dress neatly.’* "Never saw an ideal office girl. I never hire a pretty girl. I never hire a homely one. I take ’em me dium. I pick ’em for common sense— when I can!" But the office girls have some thing to say about the ideal boss. A few of the qualifications are: “The boss one can t put anything over on." “Dike them good looking." "Don’t like the golf fun who goes out every afternoon and leaves the office girl to alibi for ntm the rest of the day to his wife and his clients." It's fifty-fifty on the boss wno swears. Some like him; others don t. “Don’t like a moody boss." “Dike them to remember that em ployes are human." A summary of qualifications rot an ideal boss would show that ha must be: Good looking, of even dis position, of regular habits, reason able in his demands of work to done, willing to raise salaries for meritorious work without waiting for the employe to force the issue. Cold Bad For Tin. From Popular Mechanics Kxtreme cold is known to have had disastrous effects on tin. In countries like northern Russia, It is declared that many utensils often become use less 1 r winter. A whole shipload of blocks of the metal, stored in u Rus sian custom house, was reported to have crumbled Into dust during the cold months. It has frequently been found in mines In a gray-powder form which, when heated, turns Into the shiny metal but, during sub-zero weather, may become dust again. When tin "catches cold,” a tiny grayish spot that grows In size, and Is Joined by others, appears on the sufrace. In time the metal crumbles away. Too Early To Worry. From the Shoe and Leather Reporter. Human nature Is peculiar. There arc people who are mournful as to the awful fate of the United States after our population reaches 200, 000,000, but these same folks are not in the least concerned about pz-esent day problems. _ Reproductions of two famous paintings were presented to the Prince Regent oT Japan recently by the Federation of Christiaji Missions in Japan, most ot whose members are Americans. The Elcturea are Watts "Sir Galahad" azui oord’s "The Lost Sheep." _iOtng to Waste “The sports of other days don’t np peul to the youths of today,” declared nn elderly resident. “Horae chestnuts are ripe and popping out of their prick ly shells, hut I haven’t seen a single boy whirling strings with two of these nuts tied to the ends. That used to be my finest fall frolic. We’d whirl the strings and then let go, and the device would wind around telephone or light wires. AH the kids enjoyed ttie sport. And to such a degree 8mt the coppers on the beats used to chase us merrily when we became over-zealous In enlt tering up the wires. Hut the boys of today don’t know this pleasure. And It seems a shame for all the fine horse chestnuts to go to waste.”—Detroit News. Fragrance in Flowers Fragrance in flowers is determined by laws which are beyond human com prehension. It is not a quality i»ecu liar to a family, hut to individuals, or rather varieties in that family. Old varieties of roses were mostly fra grant; many of the newer and most beautiful are not. The older peonies were rather unpleasant in odor, but many of the newer varieties are de liciously perfumed. DEMAND “BAYER” ASPIRIN Take Tablets Without Fear If You See the Safety “Bayer Cross."
