weepln9 at the Thoatcr.

"There's just this about crying at
the theater,' said the average woman.
You'll cry if you're in the mood for
it and you won't If you're not-no mat
ter how narrowing or mountaineering
the play may be. Like most average
women, l rarely cry, either at the
theater or anywhere, but I long ago
discovered that it depends entirely
upon my mood at the time. l once
went to a genuine comedy and found
the tears filing my eyes just because
I happened to be blue at the time, and
I've been at many play with all the
women around me hopping their eyes
and drying their Observation-Disclosures
on their fans, while being for some
reason or other uplifted-sat there
dry-eyed, almost smiling. No matter
what my mood, however, the thing
sure to keep me from weeping at the
theater is any emotional display on
the part Of her who is with me. I can
attend the weepiest kind Of play I'M
moved with my sister, for she starts in
away ahead of time, making me feel
more like laughing than crying, and
then when the true lachrymose oppor
tunity arrives it finds me pathos-proof.
This is the only way by which may
make myself immune from weeping at
theaters upon all occasions. "-Phila-
delphia Times.

GLOVE MAKING.

Changes That Have Taken Place In
Methods.
The glove industry, which was first
settled in Gloversville, N. Y, in 1909,
now represents an investment of no
less than $15,000,O0O. Rough mittens
made from the deerskins received from
the traders in exchange for tin were
the first product of the settlement, and
the first load of gloves that went to
Boston was forwarded in 1925. In the
early days Of the industry glovemaking
was followed exclusively by women,
but 1t now engages the services OF a
large number of men. The old style
was for the glover to lay his pattern
on the leather and then, after mark
ing the outline with a leadpencil, to
cut it out with his shears. The glove
was sewed by hand, and when seams
had been pounded it went through
the process OF pressing. This was done
by placing it between two boards, on
which the glovemaker sat while max
lug duOIucI pAll. uC lOuCAA HOIAou
of manufacturing the glove is to cut
the leather and fold 1t over so that the
back is larger than the front. The
operator then makes three cuts
through the doubled pieces, so that it
may produce the back aad front for the
four fingers. Next an oyoid hole is cut
for the insertion of the thumbpiece
Long strips or gussets are sewn on the
inner side of the first and fourth fin
gers; but the second and third finger
gussets are sewn on both sides. After
ward small acknowledged pieces are
cut, fitted and sewn in the spaces be-
tween the bases Of the fingers. The
ornamental embroidery is then stitched
on the back, the buttons or fasteners
fitted and the wrists hemmed and the
glove is finished. The operators earn
on an average 81 day.

FRANCES TARDY PREPARATION
Countries Like People Cannot Dc
Wrong with Imnunitv

Countries Like People Cannot DO
Wrong with Impunity.
France has tried to comfort herself
with the reflection that the life of one
Jew is unimportant, and that her inter-
ests may best be served by an act OF
possible lawlessness, says the Specta-
tor. But her hopes are doomed to dis.
appointment and all her casuistry is
of no avail. Piece by piece the truth
has been uncovered, and though
France has opposed discovery with
added deceit she has today no chance
Of going backward She will be forced
to perform with an i'll grace common
act of reparation, which some years
ago might most gracefully have been
performed. But she cannot for hal1 a
century undo the evil which her un-
Righteousness has caused. Discredited
throughout Europe, she stands sullied
among the nations, finding no conf
dence in her institutions, and inspiring
nothing else than distrust. And the
moral OF it all is that nations, no more
than individuals, may stamp upon the
elementary rules of right and wrong.
The morality which governs peoples is
not precisely the same as governs men
in the conduct of their lives; a coun-
try has not the same high obligation Of
truth and outspokenness as is laid
upon separate citizens. But countries,
bo, hot, or6 ;1o hou
may simulate before rivals, they must
exact within their borders a love of
Justice. No detection may pass with
impunity; when once the sense of duty
Is obscured disaster is certain; for
there always remains one taper Of
light to illumine the dim places. Had
M. lola never pierced the darkness
then France might have had the salts
faction of keeping forever under lock
and key man who she knew had been
illegally condemned; she might still
have declared with infinite scorn that
her action was an affaire de cuisine
and that a Jew had no right to a gen.
erous protection. And though she
would have suffered in herself when
the moment of battle came she might
for while have escaped the notice Of
Europe. But NJ. lola was not to be
extinguished; he revealed to the whole
world his country's injustice and made
an ultimate reparation necessary. The
national confidence in the army will
for awhile be shaken, but justice will
presently be re-established. and with it
a proper sense of patriotism.

Wh. HEvS.' Of an Awful Storm.

The observations of Captain Carpen-
ter. of the Royal Navy, show that the
hurricane which destroyed more than
II 600 houses and hundreds Of lives in
the islands OF Barbados and St. Vim
cent last September had a calm 'eye"
at it's center four miles in diameter.
The phenomenon of a central calm at
the core Of whirling storm is charac-
teristic of the West Indian hurricanes.
The diameter of the storm center, in
Guiding the circling winds that en-
closed the eye, was about thirty-fve
miles during the period of greatest de-
struction. After the hurricane passed
St. Vincent. the storm center enlarged
to a diameter of ITO miles.
