LARGE POTATO SHIPMENT
MAY MAKE THEM CHEAPER.

Much to the delight of housewives.
sweet potatoes are giving evidence of
becoming cheaper. They experienced a
substantial reduction today, and, with
present market conditions continuing,
another drop should be made before
the close of the week
In point of quantity and price the
vegetable. If anything. is surprising

time. When it comes to quality, how
ever, as much cannot be said for il.
or course, the bulk of shipments have
not yet begun to come in. and there is
a chance for considerable improvement
being made in quality later.
Increased shipments were responsible
for today's reduction. The majority Of
the sweet potatoes now reaching deal
ers were grown in the Carolinas and in
Maryland, and the yellow variety is the
one that is being principally sold. Gen
orally speaking, the outlook for the
market is favorable to the consumer.

X NEWS OF WOMEN FOR WOMEN AND THE o M X
NEW BABY'S PICTURE
TO TELL OF BIRTH.

Instead of the conventional engraved
cards of parents and newborn child
tied With white ribbons, there is a
novelty card that is charming.
1t is the hand-painted profile of a
baby's head on a long. white pap
slip. One little hand and the careless
frill of lace around the neck is sug-
gested in pencil.
On the white paper is written the
name of the newly born n the date
of its birth.
The long. narrow envelope Is also
handmade and sealed with the family
crest in wax. or a tiny silver seal with
the family initial in the centre.
The day after the great event these
cards are mailed to all friends of the
couple in all parts of the country.
IL n must pay to have them done.
the cost is not slight, but if one is
clever with the brush it proves a pleas
ant and simple task.

OUR CORNER
LIGHTNING RODS.

~ VEN the smallest children no
doubt nave noticed that nearly
all buildings are protected against
lightning by lightning rods, but do you
know how they provide protection and
why they are usually made of metal
that does not easily corrode and ter
inmate in a sharp point?
The object of the rod is to empty a
cloud of its electricity noiselessly and
harmlessly, and it must be pointed be-
cause a fine point offers no resistance
to the discharge. The degree of re-
sistance is in proportion to the sur
face of the object, and q point has the
least possible surface. If the rod were
topped by a ball or a KNOB the ols-
charge would be violent.
The difference between a point and a
ball is shown in ~discharging a battery;
perhaps some of our boys and girls
have seen their teacher of physics make
the experiment. The full charge from
= large battery may be received quietly
on a metal point, but a moderate charge
from a small battery will explode with
violence on a ball. 1t is said that a
full charge may be passed harmlessly
through a persons body If received on
the point of a sewing needle. whereas
the same charge, received on a ball
tipped discharger would cause instant
death.
Non-corrosive metal is used for the
point of the rod because corroslon
makes resistance and must therefore be
provided against. Many a lightning
rod has received an electrical discharg
when the occupants of the house knew
nothing about it.

Naturally a girl takes pride in provid-

brides, even those who must make
sacrifices to get a rousseau at all,
who do not find that they have lots
more clothes than they can use.
