Pro Golf Tourney Abandoned.

Plans for tournament open to pro
fessional golfers residing within a
radius of 100 miles of Chicago have
been put in storage for the winter.
Owing to the lateness of the season
Tom Bendelow, who had the matter
in charge, found that it would be i'm
possible to get representative field,
and the tournament was dropped until
next year.
President Douglas Smith of the new
Winnetka Country club. near Chicago,
announced that the course would be
ready for play in the early party Of
July. The clubhouse is in course of
construction and will be ready by next
June.
The officials of the club are: Doug
las Smith, president; Robert Steven
son, Jr, and Archibald w. Shaw, vice
presidents; W. Walling, secretary and
treasurer. The board of governors in
cludes W. G.. Hubbard. Jr.. George
Higginson, Jr., N. Landon Hoyt, Per

Women who do crochedng, knitting
and other forms of needlework know
how aggravatingly the yarn can tangle
up and the spool or ball roll away. A
Washington man has designed brace
let spool that prevents all this. The
spool is revolvably mounted on a
bracelet, which opens at the bottom and
which can be clasped on the wrist in
an instant. The yarn or thread feeds
over the back Of the hand into the
needle, and there is no slack and no
possibility of tangling and the conse
quent tedious untangling. The spool is
held lightly in two spring clasps, SO
that it can readily be removed and a
fresh spool put in its place. Being
open at the bottom, the bracelet will
f1t any wrist, and it is made with
finish that will not tarnish.

Roast Turkey.


A turkey should be dressed and
cleaned at least twelve hours before
using. Make filling of soft part OF
stale bread. Pour over this hot melted
butter: season with salt, pepper, sage
and onion If liked; mix well together;
salt well the inside of turkey and I'LL
and sew up. Fill the space from which
you took the crop. Do not pack the
filing or it will be heavy. Place the
turkey in pan with breast up; push the
legs up under the skin; fasten with
small skewers to the bone Of the rump.
Turn the wings back; run another
skewer through them and body of tur

plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant, not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for it's food.
AS it floats underneath the surface Of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. Its leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filed
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on 1t. A small worm
or a small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

of India which is very small indeed. Added to
this is the fact that fell work has been done by
the bubonic plague, and the population has been
ruthlessly thinned out. AS a result there con-
stantly is a dearth of laborers, especially at har-
vest time. Then too, during the cotton season
it Is necessary for the many ginning factories
which have been established to coax to them
men, women and children who otherwise would
be available for field work. This further shortens
the labor supply on the farms. Indeed, the short
age is so great that the government irrigation
department which is constructing supplementary
canals to bring more water to the Punjab colo
MES finds it necessary to employ mechanical ex-
cavators since coolies are not to be had for love
or money. In such circumstance 1t Is only
natural that wages should rise, so that the land
owners find it more profitable to employ labor
saving machinery than hands.
The same causes which have induced the Pun
jab colonies farmer to use modern implements
are persuading their brothers in other parts of the
country to take them up. Whenever one thinks
of India be has in mind its teeming millions and
cheap scale of wages; but he rarely remembers
that the price of labor has risen great deal

The question of personal safety during thun-

majority OF people If In building which is iso
lated in the open country or is higher than

warm currents of air directly below high tower
or flag pole peak angle of the structure, is

fact any umbrella as you may become a living

ton. If you should happen to be caught in such
open space, with lightning discharges coming
close, may be determined by the lessening in
tervals between fash and pport It is better to
lie fiat the ground and risk soaking than to
offer possible path for discharge The reason
for this is that the body, being warm, offers bet
ter conductor than the surrounding air. and only a
few feet rise is necessary to attract lightning on

Questions as to the action OF lightning striking

have always looked down upon manual work, and
issues popularity written literature for the enight
eminent of the agricultural classes, also are ex-
ertng their influence to persuade the eultivators
all over British India to make use of modern I'M
plements. Many of the native states too are FOL
lowing the example of the British administration
and are carrying similar propaganda for the
enlightenment of the agriculturists This is espe-
cially true OF Baroda and Mysore, two OF the
largest territories under native rule. 1t is quite
natural therefore that the demand for farm ma
chinery should be growing.
Since most Indian farmers are exceedingly poor
and cannot offhand afford expensive implements,
they have taken to clubbing together sometimes
as many ten of them combining their resources
to buy a reaper; and in many instances they are
not satisfied with this machine alone, but indulge
in improved machinery of other descriptions. In
the central provinces agricultural associations
have been formed to interest the tenantry in the
use of upto-date methods This means midas

Mothers darling, age four, was not

sensitive nature might be shocked at
the language they used. One day.
while mother was busy. he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with a crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took COM
plete course in modern language.
