perabundance of the same style of needle
work might become monotonous, but such
variety of materials. color, and designs
are at hand that the charge does not hold
true.
AS to materials there are coarse-woven
linens and cottons, suitable for curtains,
bed spreads and cushions; also there are
the bucks and imported linens for towels
and table things. The shops row show
many shades Of the embroidery cottons,
some of exquisite tints; and the needle
woman who first finds inspiration In the
cross-stitch book Of the shops soon learns
to do her own designing, and thereby
makes her work individual.
Although the delicate tints of the cot
tons are the most fascinating, still the
various deep reds and blues are, after
all, more quaint, particularly when done
on the homespun linens and heavy can

THE MEMS CORNER. By
Investing Your Savings.
Bonds $50. Upward.

They are tax free, as Is becoming the
case with similar bonds in all sections
Of the country. The United States gov
ernment Issues bonds from $50 up Though
their yield is not large enough to make
them attractive investments). Panama
Canal bonds have been issued as low as
$50.
Railroad or corporation bonds very sell
dom are issued SO low, except when they
are for listing on foreign exchanges or
belong to the very attractive variety of
guaranteed stocks" (These stocks,
treated at length here last week, have
usually been the issues Of small connect
ing railroads that later have been abb
sorbed by the great transportation lines
and are gateways to certain regions)
When issued by these small railroads
1t was necessary to gain the friendship
and support of the farmers and citizens
along the right Of way and accordingly
small denominations were the rule. They
are an ideal Investment, because of their
guarantee, but are at a high premium.
Then there is way of buying a 81 900
bond on the installment plan, as It were.
With one hundred dollars or more you go
to a broker and buy a high class bond.
That is the brokerage house loans you
the nine hundred dollars necessary, for
which they charge the legal rate of in
terest the object being that you reduce
the debt or mortgage on your bond, In
monthly payments. The beauty Of this
plan, however, is that the interest paya-
Bile to you from a properly selected bond
will almost, II not completely, pay the
interest on your loan. Accordingly, you
are buying a bond on the installment
plan-and your loan is exempt from IN
terest 1t is only fair to say that this
plan, while being safe and attractive, is
really not very profitable to- the investor
(outside of the moral effect of owning a
bond and saving regular stipend), for
the interest on the brokers' loan kills
the interest from the bond, which on
straight investment would be your re-
ward. If however the loan is paid off in
three or four years, the remaining years
Of the bond will yield good interest until
you 'cash in.''
But, beyond all question of a doubt, 1t
behooves Wall Street, which is so prone
to criticise trust Investigations and
tight money" to create legitimate bonds
to be listed from 500 upwards for the
small investor, who in his unfedged
eagerness to get into the financial game
invests In stocks at 2 and 90 cents q
share, and not only fritters away his
substance but also his needed support to
the real industries Of the country.

cotton are used.
Buffet covers are usually done In oyster
white linen, a kind known as French
linen at the shops. Used on a black oak
or mahogany sideboard, they pay for the
time taken to work them.
That the design should be a rather con-
ventionalized one will be evident even to
the most inexperienced needleworker. Al
most any formafized flower form will
serve as a motive. Monograms and old
English lettering Of texts are easily
copied from the little books Of cross-stitch

Tomato Salad.

A very delicious tomato salad is served
cold. Ripe and firm tomatoes are chosen,
peeled, chopped and rubbed through a
sieve. Soften two tablespoonfus of gela-
tin in the same amount of cold water,
add cupful of hot water, and when the
gelatin is melted. add it to the tomatoes.
Add scant teaspoonful each of salt AMI
paprika, and two tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice. Beat it until stiff. then pour 1t
into a melon mold. Tie down the cover
of the mold and bury in equal parts of
Ice and salt for four hours
When ready to serve turn out on bed
of lettuce and put mayonnaise dressing
about the tomato. Another way is to chill
the tomato In ring mold and fill the
center with lettuce and mayonnaise.

E1ectricity-Its Beginning.

When we speak of volts" In electricity,
we pay oftimes an unconscious tribute to
Alexander Volta who In Paris, just one
hundred years ago made public contriv-
ance that assured steady flow Of cleo
tricity. His discovery remains practically
unchanged to this day. Previously, cur
rent of electricity had been derived from
a series of pieces of zinc and copper,
each bit of metal wrapped in cloth sat
urated with acid. Volta improved this by
putting each zinc and copper pan In
cup by itself filed with acid. From this
"crown of cups" steady current was
produced-and 1t is this voltaic cell that
has taught the modern electrician his
business.

After serving their time, (the Jail-like
term given to apprenticeship, many ma
chinists, taking pride in an all-around
technical ability--have gone to other shops
where a different kind of work is done,
changing about until they have become
skilled in all the departments of the ma

the unending development of macL
that not only in the great Industrial c,
ters, but also in smaller communities h
the mechanic in demand. At all of the
skilled trades the young man must face
an apprenticeship preliminary to attain
ing that skill and knack that will assure
him livelihood practically anywhere in
the known world. Let us follow out the
experiences of the average apprentice:
Jack wants to become machinist. May
be his father-presumably dead for the
sake of the story-was a machinist, or
his uncle, or some one else. Jack develops
natural love for machinery. The first
thing, of course, is to find out what you
have to do and what you get for doing it.
AS an initial step you hunt job, which
means finding the owner or foreman of
machine shop that wants your services
as an apprentice, for there Is no royal
road to learning-though your earning ca
pabilitiss may be quickened by proper
books.
chine shop you sign contract to serve
for two, three or four years, usually
four. Taking the average prices paid, you
will contract to work the first six months
at AS cents day; the second six months
at 55 cents; the second year at 65 cents;
the third, S5 cents, and the fourth and
last year at $1.0o a day.
In the first year you will be put to work
chipping castings, smoothing off rough
edges and doing work that you cannot
spoil by the unskilful use of the hammer
and chisel Then you will be put on the
least responsible machine in the shop. If
you show especial ability you will get
better machine or will be given chance
at two or three machines to widen the
scope of your knowledge.
In the third year, If the ones who con-
troll your dest1nies have a proper regard
for your future, you will be able to work
a shaper, lathe or drill press, and later
on you may be put on the floor" doing
the important work of finishing and as
sembling.
The fourth year of the machinists ap-
prentice is the time to watch for an op-
portunity, as the apprentice is, with very
rare exceptions given simply journeymen's
wages after the termination of his con-
tract. At this time his plea for better
pay to his foreman is based entirely ON
ability. His demand for a mans wage

The average man thinks that only the
rich can afford to buy bonds-and never
was there a more costly fallacy. for the
man of small savings. with the desire
for investment In his heart, turns to the
'hy-by.night" companies that offer his
stocks at any price from FIVE to ninety
nine cents. Much of this money could
be diverted to legitimate channels and
reap the reward Of the country's pros
perity, IL these small investors knew
that their remittances would be well
coined By the great and reputable corpo-
rations, not only for the elusive stock,
but for the eminently dignifed and con-
servative bond.
In Nthis respect the French, Dutch,
Swiss and similar thrifty people are far
wiser than we, for even the peasant

are habitual buyers Of small blocks Of
stock and bonds and the investigator
would be surprised to what extent these
shrewd, If miniature, European capital
lists share in the prosperity Of this coun-
try.
In the city of Pittsburg. for example,
Holland capital controls absolutely all
the car lines, most Of the electric light

Most bonds and short term notes, 1t Is
true, are issued at $1,000. and few
scattered ones are listed at $780, How to
purchase these on the installment plan
will be explained further on.
Municipal bonds are an excellent in
vestment, and If they were widely pur-
chased by the average citizen, they
would have the effect Of correcting
abuses more quickly than dozen re-
