HEALER'S TOUGH GIVES NEW HOPE TOILL AMD BLIND Physical Improvement Noted In Sufferers Who Visited James Moore Hickson Dur ing Bluffs Meeting. i Physical improvement ef several men, women and children who visit ed James Moore Hickson, English faith healer, during the two-day healing mission he conducted at the St Pauls Episcopal church in Coun cil Bluffs, has been reported. Mrs. Charles D. Rosenbery, who attended both Tuesday and Wea nesday services, talked with a re porter over the phone yesterday and said that deafness which trou bled her for years had been definite ly benefited. ' Ralph Manassa, 6 years old, who was accompanied by his grand mother, Mrs. George Manassa, from Des Moines to Council Bluffs to meet the healer, was ao relieved from a condition of paralysis that he stood alone for the first time in hit life and is really learning to walk, according to the grandmother. Mrs. Bertha Smith, 2913 Mason street, who has been confined to her bed Vith paralysis for five years, answered the phone herself when a reporter called her home. She said her condition has not been entirely relieved, but that she did not anticipate aa instantaneous healing in the first place. Miss Rachel Goodwin, 3325 Cali fornia street, who is 62 years old and has not walked since she was 8 years old, is still confident that she will fully recover from her ailment and be able to walk again. A marked improvement is evident already she says. Helen Gavim, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Gavim of Alliance, Neb., a sufferer from rheumatism who took several steps after being treated by the healer, and L. E. Howard, ' blind man from Des Moines, who says that his sight has been partially re stored by his experience at the heal ing mission, are others who have expressed gratitude for the oppor tunity of i coming in contact with Mr. Hickson.

For Boys and Girls 7Earn Money - SJ w , Outsldef School! Home Made Handkerchiefs. By BELLB CASH HARRINGTON. There is a girl in a town in Penn sylvania who is earning money for a trip next summer, by selling hand made handkerchiefs. She began early last fall, with a few orders from friends, and now she has orders for all she can do until spring. One-third of a yard of linen makes three handkerchiefs. This, with a skein of floss makes the cost of material about 25 cents. White now is the standard color, but people are going wild over handkerchiefs in bright-colored linen, for both men and women. Pale grey, tan, and champagne are favorite colors for men, while ladies delight in the various shades of blue, orange, purple and rose. .There are several ways of making these handkerchiefs. The plan of finishing the edge with a tiny rolled hem held down by a line of single crochet with a picot every half inch, is still popular. The newest fashion is a plain hem put in with very fine thread, or with the ravelings, if colored linen is used. Sometimes a very narrow hem is basted in, held in place by cross-stitching of colored thread. In whatever way the edge is fin ished, fashion calls for colored cords in the body of the handkerchief. This is the way it is done. Draw a thread evenly all around the hand kerchief. Then skip one thread and draw another. This leaves one thread .with an open space on either side. Take a double length of col ored floss and tie the end of this middle thread on the handkerchief to the loop of the floss. Then be gin at the other side of the hand kerchief and pull this middle thread carefully through. The double col ored thread will follow easily, if your linen is as loosely woven as it should be. All sort? of designs may be carried out, though a few simple lines are best for the men's hand kerchiefs. Be sure to keep the , work im maculately clean. Always have it folded in a towel, and if possible keep a sweet-scented sachet among your linens. Copyright, 1S0. by J. H. Millar. InfteMtAaW Why Such High Chimneys? By C. M. HYDE. "Why do factories have such tall chimneys, daddy?" "To increase the draft of their furnaces. Arid the height of the. chimney is so definitely related to the size of the boilers that an engi neer has tables which, tell him that a r00 horsepower boiler must have a chimney at least 60 feet tall, while 1,000 horsepower needs one 110 feet tall. etc. "The man who first built a chim ney wanted merely to build a fire in his house without smoking out his family. He succeeded through the simple fact that hot air and smoke weigh less than cold air. The cold er air in his house was heavy enough to push up the hot air above his fire and drive it right through his chimney. But he found that his chimney must be taller than the highest part of his house's roof or it wouldn't work, or draw, because the column of warm air in the chim ney must be taller than the column of cold air in the house, or there is not enough difference in weight "When men began to run steam engines and needed to build bigger, hotter fires fndoors ajiey found that the bigger the fire, the more draft they needed the faster the air must move up thfi chimney. This is be cause fire is nothing more than the combination of oxygen (in the air) with hot fuel, and the bigger fire you want, the more air and oxygen you must keep passing through it. You can build a tremendous fire outdoors because you have unlim ited air. Indoors, however, you have only what can crowd into the furnace and up the chimney, "As the horsepower of a steam boiler depends on the amount of coal burned in it, engineers must force mora air through the furnace. To get this extra 'push' they build the chimney larger and taller, be cause the taller and thicker the col umn of hot, light air, the faster it will be pushed up by heavier cold air. Ten feet more on the chimney gives just so much more push to the draft. And so, when you look at a factory chimney you can tell just about how big its boilers are by the size and height of its chimney. Copyright, 1920, by J. H. Millar. jTWIN STORIES V lucy y FITCH PERKINS r Dutch Twins Prepare for Market. One' afternoon Kit and Kat were playing around the kitchen door step, while their mother sat on a bench by the door peeling some onions for supper. It was not yet' supper time, but Vrouw Vedder was always ahead of the clock with the work. Kit and Kat had a pan of water and were teaching their ducklings to swim. They each had one little fat duckling of their very own. The ducklings squawked when Kit lifted them over the edge of the pan into the water. "Don't do that, Kit," said Kat. "The ducklings don't like it. You didn't like it when you fell into the water, did you?" "But I'm not a duck." said Kit. '(Well, anyway, they're tired and want to go to their mother," said Kat. "Let's go out to the garden and help father get the boat loaded for market." "All right," said Kit. "May we, mother?" "Yes," said Vrouw Vedder; "and you may ask father if he will take you to market with him tomorrow, WHY?- do coats have buttons on the sleeves? (Copyright, 1920. by Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) ' IN the olden days, before hand kerchiefs were invented, it was the almost universal cus tom to wipe one's nose on one's sleeve. Shortly after one of the early French kings had ordereti new uniforms made i for h's guards, he noted that the men were ruining their apparel by wiping their noses on the silken sleeves of their jackets a habit which, at that time, was not con sidered either unsanitary or un usual. His majesty therefore ordered that a row of buttons be placed on the sleeves, at a spot directly opposite the one which they now occupy: for he figured that buttons would put an end to the practice where or ders might be overlookged. This touch of unusual tailor ing was copied by many of the gallants of the court and grad ually spread to England and to other countries. When hand kerchiefs came into vogue the buttons remained, but were grad ually shifted around the sleeve to the position which they now occupy. Tomorrow's Question WHY can cats see in the dark? if it's fair. Tell him I said you could ask." "Oh, goody, goody!" said Kit and Kat, both at once; and they ran as fast as their wooden shoes would take them out into the garden. They found their father cutting cabbages and gathering them into piles. He was' stopping to light his pipe, when they reached him. "O father I" said Kit and Kat, both together. "May we go on the boat to market with you tomorrow morn ing? Mother said we might askl" Father Vedder blew two puffs from his pipe without answering. "We'll help ypu load the boat," said Kit. "Yes," said Kat, "I can carry a cabbage." "I can carry two," said Kit. "We'll both be good," said Kat. '"Very well," said father, at last. "We'll see how you workl And tomorrow morning, if it's fair, I'll seel But you must go to bed early tonight, because you'll have to get up early in the morning, if you go with me! Now. von each tak a rah. bage and run along."- rattier vedder went back to his work. . Kit and Kat ran to the cabbage pije. Kat took one, and Kit took two just to show that he could. "When father says "I'l see he always means 'yes,' " Kat said to Kit. Perhaps -it seems queer to you that they should go to market in a boat, but it didn't seem queer at all to the twins.
