one often meets with II description.
especially in some of the Older novels,
of men with cork legs. and upon read
ing the graphic accounts of some of
these old spa dogs, for most of them
were sailors, one would naturally
think they had artificial legs made of
cork.
But artificial legs are never made OF
cork. They do not get their name
from the material Of which. but from
the place at which they were made.
This was not the city Of Cork In Ire
land. but Cork street. or Plccadilly. In
London. which was the headquarters
for tile artificial limb trade In the old
days.

No Public Docks In Honokone.

It Is Il rather peculiar fact that while
HongkonG Is one OF the great ports of

no harbor with anything like equal
shipping is there less artificial aid to

owned by private company in CON
nection with privately owned ware
houses and furnishing bcrths for four

Advice to the Loveiorn
YOU CARE TOO MUCH.
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
! am young girl. seventeen
years of age. am considered pretty.
but when | go to dances or parties
| never seem to have a nice time
like the other girls. The young
men always seem so cool to me. l
never did anything to any one, and
their GOODNESS to me hurts my feel
ings very much. MARIE.
Your feelings are hurt because OF
their indifference to you? Do you know,
my dear, if you didn't care If they
looked a you or not they would look
all the sooner and longer? Nothing
interests a man more than a pretty girl
who looks right over his head. He
makes up his mind he will make her
look at him. he will compel her to rec
ognize his existence, and the greater
her Indifference the greater his efforts
Don't care for the men-at least, don't
show that you do.
