Sulphur Stone
Sandstone Is of little value as a

pounds per square inch. Iteccnt ex

of making sandstone as strong as
granite. The stone is cut, then soaked
in melted sulphur for several hours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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

the thing when power comes is dif
ferent.

Lloyd George attacks MacDonald,
saying the labor party promised to

Lloyd George attacks MacDonald
labor also for lending money to bol

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?

an old question: do working men ever

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.

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.

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

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.

_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

Fragrance in Flowers
Fragrance in flowers is determined
by laws which are beyond human com

rather varieties in that family. Old
