LAWN LINING FOR THE YOKE
Simple Adjustment That Makes for
Perfect Fit and Comfort Of Sum-
mer Dress.

Often a summer dress is ruined by
the fit of the yoke; it bitches or rides
in a way that is as uncomfortable as
1t is unsightly. The easiest way to
remedy this defect is to have the
yoke made on a fitted lawn lining
which buttons around the waist. This
should have horizontal seam run
just about the bust line to take In an
extra fullness.
II the lining seems too warm. or is
too much trouble to make. the yoke
can be attached TO a sort Of harness
made with belt of tape to which are
Joined vertical straps attach i to the
bottom of the yoke.
Even easier is il to sew tabs Of tape
or muslin to the bottom of the yoke.
These can be securely pinned to the
corset without tearing the yoke itself.
1t is a good idea to fasten the small
est sized safety pins TO these tabs so
that they are always In readiness

Tungsten in Electric Lighting.

The fusing point of tungsten (3050
degrees Centigrade) is higher than
any other known metal, which en-
ables it to operate at the very high
efficiency obtained in the tungsten
lamp. One of the laws of incandes-
cent light is that the higher the tenn
perature the better the light and the
greater the economy of current con-
sumed. Up to a few a ago tung-
stem was known only in laboratories,
and then in only a very impure state.
and on account of its rarity the price
was very high. But latter-day pros
pectfng has resulted in the finding Of
vast bodies of the ore, and the price
has correspondingly dropped to about
81 a pound. 1t would be even lower
than this but for. the difficulties in
refining the metal. These new tung-
stem incandescent lamps, with the
same consumption Of energy and ex-
pense to the consumer for current,
give nearly three times the illumina-
ton of the old carbon lamps. The
lighting companies were quick to see
the advantages of this wonderful inn
provement, and are now encouraging
their customers to use the.new lamps,
making 1t plain to them that they can
obtain three times as much light of a
better qualfty for the same money

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Finds His Missing Sons.


Otto Weber, a wealthy farmer, liy-
ing near Egg Harbor, had almost CIV
en- up hope of hearing tidings of his
young sons, Carl and John, who dis
appeared more than a week before.
There is a cedar swamp not far from
the farm, and he went there to make
a search. He came across a huge
pile of excelsior which had been left
in the swamp when an old sawmill
there was abandoned. Closer exam
nation disclosed a place where the
sawdust seemed to be fresh, and here
the farmer began to dig. 1t didn't
take him long to find out that the
huge pile had been followed out, for
presently he stumbled and fell into
what turned out to be a living room,
with cooking apparatus and a supply
of food. When their father entered
SO unceremoniously they merely
looked up, laughed and said: "Come
on in, pop, and have something to
eat" by George, / will" he an
swered, and it was not until a hearty
dinner had been disposed of that the
boys reluctantly went home with
their parent.
