every American child should do, her

goS back to work and a friend asked
him if he had been troubled any with
seasickness on the way over.
But things weren't so bad in this
tenth year of the Hopin household. The
January estimate had called for S670,
and the June fact was $50 which John
had boarded, plus three dollars and
forty-six cents which Mrs. Hopin had
saved by cutting the milk down to a
pint a day in the desperate struggle
of April to save Southern California
Besides that, there was almost a dollar
in Polly's bank.
So the prospects were particularly
bright, and there was nothing to do
but to decide where to go within an
eighty-Seven-d dollar radius. Even that
difficulty was removed when Mrs. Ho-
pin received notice of the Jones family
reunion and old-home week that was
to be held up in New Hampshire Mrs.
Hopin was a Jones.
The fare up and back would be only
twenty-seven dollars, even if the con-
ductor did collect for the child, which
wasn't at all likely. So they bought
clothes with the balance to buoy up
the reputation that John had with his
wife's relatives of having lots of
partly because he worked in
New York, and partly because of the
letters Mrs. Hopin wrote
home from time to time.

folders were put away for another

He'll probably sit at the head of the
table part of the time and Uncle Will

that married Aunt Mary. That's all
I'll tell You tonight
DO you think we will have a good
time?"
We'll. it won't be Southern France
but we've go to CO..
The next morning John Hopfn went
on genealogies, hurriedly copied sew
eral very neat designs in family trees,
caught his wife and daughter at the
train, and the vacation journey was be-
gun. 1t was a successful trip. The
conductor did not collect for Polly The
family tree branches We're all properly
labeled by Mrs. Hopin before the train
reached New Haven. and when they
arrived at Boston John could say over
the whole Jones family, down to sec
ond cousins husbands, with his eyes
shut. Between Boston and the old
home town he passed a creditable ex-
animation on the family quarrefs and
denominationaI leanings. had time for
smoke, and managed to give Polly
a little improving instruction on the
boundary dispute. so that she could
talk intelligently with Uncle James, the
judge.
Aunt Maria did come on from Indi-
ana. and the first thing she did after
climbing out of the surrey was to fail
on Aunt Frances neck and kiss her for
two minutes
John Hopin looked at his notes sur
reptftiously and then whispered to his
wife that she had got things mixed on
Maria and Frances. but he was simply
told to behave and wait.
Uncle William of Worcester remarked
to Aunt Betsy that that wouldn't last
long, and said something about cats
and dogs before night
Yes, I can see the family look, but
she favors her mother sone.'' replied
Aunt Betsy, who hadn't heard a word,

year, and John started in to read the
colonial history of the New Hampshire
and Vermont boundary dispute as a
preliminary to the trip. That was his
way. He couldn't take Polly to Coney
Island for a ride on the merry-go-
round without first sending to the
State Geologist for a report on the
formation of the beaches.
Mrs. Hopin, knowing his weakness,
humored him in the boundary dispute
for one whole evening, and then de-
clared that they would have to spend
the rest of the time, before their de-
parture, in brushing up on the Jones
family connections and studying the
pictures of aunts, cousins, and remoter
relatives, so that they wouldn't make
any blunders at the reunion.
''It will be just as easy" she said
when he demurred, ''as learning the
names Of all the kings of England and
of their wives, which you insisted on
our doing two years ago. because you
said it would enable us to get so much
more enjoyment out of visiting the old
English castles
So John took a lesson in aunts, whose
pictures Mrs. Hopin had spread out on
the couch.
There's Aunt Betsy, to begin with

easy every minute because she couldn't
take part.
''She said" shouted Frances, "that
all varieties of Baptists travel on the
Sabbath, and that we were brought up
in the Methodist church when we were
girls
mo such thing said Betsy. shaking
her head negatively to everybody in
the room. I'VE We're close-communion
always, Frances. till you got mad about
their choir and went over to the Free.
1 don't know anything about Maria
since she went out West. Mary would
never have gone over to the Episcopals
if her husband hadn't bedivelled her"
Then Aunt Betsy began to rock and
shake her head affirmatively.
You're as unlikely as Maria,' shout
ed Mary
What did you say, Mary?" asked
sister Betsy, who never would hear an
swers to her own arguments. And sis
ter Mary gave it up and went off to
occupy the five pews on the broad aisle.
Sister Maria had already gone through
the hall, slamming the front door, and
was on her way to the Methodist
church. The Free and the close-c COM
munion sisters also went their several
ways. And Aunt Julia, with her back
hair down and shoes and stockings off,
was gliding among the trees.
The Judge allowed that. as there
wasn't to be a reunion service, he
wouldn't go to church at all, and Uncle
William and Uncle Joseph followed his
example.
Everybody was reunited the next
morning, long enough to have the local
nh nh a txa a family with
Frances and Maria standing together in
middle, with their arms around each
others waists.
But that was simply because the
camera man posed them that way for
artistic effect. When the photographer
shouted, Everybody look pleasant
John Hopin laughed so hard that he got
caught with his mouth open and spoil
ed the picture.
Cant we go home now and have the
group sent by mail?'' he asked.
'Why, they'll think we're not enjoy
ing the reunion if we go so soon. It's
to last a week. said Mrs. Hopin.
Aunt Julia will be full of stone
bruises before then. But come on, let's
go home and have some fun and a little
quiet rest. We've got ten days left. our
tickets back, and seven dollars and that
family tree. Besides, I've got great
scheme Wen come home from abroad
and have all our friends meet US at the
pier"
How are we going to come home
from abroad when we haven't been
abroad, John Hopin?''
That's the scheme. thought it out
on the way uD here
IF we could only get a telegram or
something telling us to hurry right |
back
That's easy" replied John, and he
slipped away to the next village.
Before he got back a telegram, ad-
dressed to him, was received at the
Jones homestead and opened by Mrs.
Hopin.

a good stage sigh of relief when Uncle
William assured him that there would

New Quartz Process.

DIR. Arthur L. Day of the Carnegie
geophysical laboratory at Washington,
according to an article in the Technical
World Magazine, has discovered a new
process of making quartz glass while
working with his electric furnace. Here
tofore quartz glass, which is simply
quartz melted and allowed to cool with
out recrystallizing. has been obtainable in
such small quantities that it was worth
its weight in gold, the globules being used
to make small vessels and lenses Now,
by the employment of high temperatures
and pressures, DR.. Day has turned out
solid plates of quartz glass inch thick
and 6x2 inches. The pressure used is 500
pounds to the square inch and an alter
mating current producing heat of 1000
degrees. In a quartz glass vessel gold,
copper or silver may be melted or dis
titled, and it viii not break even when
,old water touches it at white heat.

DEFIEs PASS RULING.
Monon Road VIII Issue Advertising
Tickets.

The supreme court of the United
States Is to be asked to pass upon
the question whether railroad COM
pany can issue transportation in ex.
change for advertising in newspapers.
A test is to be made i'm Illinois, or
rather an opportunity given TO the in
terstate commerce commission to have
the courts pass upon their ruling that
nothing but money can be lawfully
received or accepted in payment foi
transportation
Shortly after the new rate law went
into effect the question came before
the commission, and that body decided
that only money could be accepted.
The justice of this ruling was not seen
by the legal department of the Monon
railroad, and George Kretzinger, the
general counsel, and E. C. Field, the
general ,olicitor, wrote to the inter-
state commerce commission and gave
their construction of the law, backed
by decisions of the courts.
They said they had carefully coh
sidered the law before the promuga-
ton of the rule, and under their con-
struction OF the law had entered into
contract in good faith with publishers
for the publication of time cards, etc.
and for the payment of such services
in transportation at the rate fixed by
the Monon's duly published tariff,
which in every instance was the exact
equivalent of the agreed price for
publication. -
1t is not believed, the attorneys said,
that the commission intended either to
restrict the right of contract or pre-
scribe the particular manner of per-
forming contracts, but, on the con-
trary, that the sole purpose of the
commission is to scrutinnize contracts
and to see that they are not merely
devices or subterfuges to evade the
law.
The interstate commerce commits
sion did not reply to the letter of Mr..
Kretzinger and Mr.. Field, which was
dated Oct. /, and President McDoel,
of the Monon road, has issued orders
to the passenger department to con-
tinue making contracts with publish
ers of newspapers and to issue trans
portation in payment for equivalent
advertising.
