Purely Bostonian.

There is little girl in Boston
who early learned one of the incon-
veniences of wearing glasses.
A friend encountered her at Nan
tasket Beach when she seemed to
be not more than four years old,
but was wearing spectacles. She
wanted to paddle in the water and
spoil her tan pumps. Her nurse had
been forbidden to let her go bare
foot, and baby began to whimper.
Then she cried:
'Take them off, Clarice! Take
them OFF,
The friend thought the child re-
ferred to her tan pumps and was
about to explain to the nurse when
the child added:
"Take off my spectacles, Clarice,
so can cryl"-New York Press.

Popular Couple Wed

A quiet wedding that tool
place Wednesday night came a.
a distinct surprise to their many
friends when Hon. Cy Bryne, {
member of the state land com.
mission was joined in wedlock tt
Miss Angie Parker, deputy clerk
OF the Arizona Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Alfred Franklin
officiated, and the wedding was
solemnized at the home of
the brides father, Cap
tain P. P. Parker at 1920 North
Third street about 10 O'Clock.
In fact the story did not leak
out until Thursday morning
when Mr.. and Mrs. Cy Bryne
motored to the state house as u.s.
ual and both took up their usual
run of duties as if nothing had
Mapped. Mrs. Bryne has been
the deputy clerk of the Arizona
supreme court for so many years
that the place would not look the
same without her, so she did not
quit her Job but will continue on,
the only difference being that a
different name will be signed
to the papers of the court now
since the marriage.
Both the high contracting par
ties are too wellknown in Arizo-
ma to need introduction. Miss
Parker has always been very
popular with the legal lights of
the state who appreciate her at
tention to detail in the office and
her devotion to duty. Cy Bryne
has made his home in Phoenix
but since his appointment to po-
sition as land commissioner by
Governor Hunt. Prior to that
time he was employed by the
United States government in the
National Forest Service and was
stationed at Pinedale in Navajo
county. Before that time he was
connected with the Old Dominion
company at Globe. Republican.

CORK CUTTING.
And the Manifold Uses to Which the
Bark Is Put.

Bark is Put.
The manufacture of cork is a
FATHER interesting process when
watched from the beginning. Be-
fore use at the factory the cork
bark in loose bales is boiled for
about half an hour to render it
plant. Upon drying, it is sorted
into at least ten grades of differ
ing quality and thickness. This
sorting is most important, if waste
is to be reduced to a minimum, for
corks are cut from the bark trans
versely and are hence limited in
their diameter (rather than in their
length, as might at first be suppos-
ed) by the thickness of the bark.
After sorting, the sheets of bark
are cut into strips and squares ac-
cording to the length of the cork
desired. Next the cork itself is cary
ed out of the small square block,
polished by sandpapering machine,
washed, sorted and disinfected. The
corks are counted by an ingenious
French machine and shipped in
sacks of strong burlap containing
generally 100 to $50 pounds.
Cork disks, for use in lining metal
shoppers, are fast becoming an i'm
portant article of trade in the cork
industry. In their manufacture
simple machinery is employed, oper-
ated in some factories by an cleo
trio motor Among the other arti-
Giles in the manufacture of which
cork is increasingly used are in
soles, life preservers, cigarette
tips, instrument handles, polishing
wheels, carburetor floats for auto
mobiles and insulating for pipes.
For the manufacture of such few
cork articles as are produced in
Barcelona, the local factories are,
as a rule, fairly well equipped with
machinery, when the very low cost
of manual labor is considered. Many
of the employees, especially of the
machine processes, are women who
attain a degree of dexterity. Elec-
trio power from the city supply has
been installed in several plants.
The enormous waste of cork,
which is inevitable in the manufac-
ture of cork articles-approximate-
ly from one-half to two-thirds of
the total materials not in reality
a loss. Naturally the best of the
cork bark is utilized in cork prod
ucts, and the refuse and shavings
are exported to England, Germany
and the United States to be used in
such valuable byproducts as limo
ieums, cork thing and other COM
position articles.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Old Cannon Unearthed

Three old cannon, two of cast
iron and one of copper were I'M
earthed by workmen in Eaton, S
Wash, about half a mile outside
of San Gabriel. this week. The
cannon, one of which was loaded
was supposed to have been left
there by the Spanairds who were
defeated there in a battle with
the American forces in 1916.
The men who discovered the guns
were working on the county
highway under Roadmaster N E.
Strain. The cannon are now at
Johnson's store, San Gabriel.
The Native Sons will take charge
of them and they will be placed
in the Exposition Park museum.
The first of these cannon to be
unearthed was about five feet in
length. The piece was of cast
iron and contained an inscription
which rust has made illegible.
The next one unearthed was
of cast iron about three and a
half feet, and the the third was
a copper cannon about three feet
in length. Examiner.

THE PLAN OF WASHINGTON.
L'Enfant's Scheme For the Capital
Once Deemed lmpracticable.

Once Deemed lmpractieabIe.
The site that had been selected
on the Potomac for the capital was
thick woods, naked fields and
treacherous swamps. 1t was Wash
ington's ambition to make out of
this wilderness a new city which
should be "a metropolis as well as a
capital, a second London or Paris.
There were no city planners in
those days, as there are now. Presi-
dent Washington chose Major
L'Enfant for the task. L'Enfant
had rebuilt the New York city hall
and in Philadelphia had erected on
the house of Robert Morris, fnan-
-ier of the Revolution, the first man
Eard roof ever seen in America.
There were only 100000 people
in the United States then, but it
was Washington's wish that the
new capital should be laid out for a
future population of at least $780,
900. L'Enfant worked on his plans
for many months. He studied the
plans of old world cities and freely
sought advice of the founders of
the republic. The city plan that he
evolved still stands unique in world
architecture. Its partial realization
is seen in the Washington of today;
its completion will be the Washing
ton of history's tomorrow.
L'Enfant's original plans are pre-
served in the Congressional library.
They were enthusiastically received
at first, but were so far ahead of
their time as to be considered i'm
practicable Only within recent
years have they been resurrected.
Then they were found to be so COM
prehensive, so simple and intelh
gent, that, though they were drawn
more than a century ago, the mod
ern city builders could see nothing
in which they could be improved.
But L'Enfant died an imbittered
and disappointed man. There was
much friction between him and his
associates. He became unmanage-
able and was removed from office.
The work was placed in the hands
of Major Andrew Ellicott, bright
young Pennsylvania who had been
one of his subordinates. Ellicott
proceeded to develop and carry out
LEnfant's ideas, and to him much
credit also is due.
Until he died L'Enfant haunted
the halls of congress, pouring his
alleged grievances into the ears of
all who would listen to him. He
spurned the compensation that the
government offered him and lived
on the bounty of Others In 1909
his remains were transferred from
their former resting place and were
placed in Arlington cemetery with
full military honors, and memo
rial was unveiled over them. 1t is

he original plan of Washington

Politicians do hate 10 see non

II establishes bad precedent for
them. The impression must not get
out that men who are not good vote
gutherers make good public servants.
The political way is to put man on
the ticket for his qualifications as II
vote gelter rather than for any other
reason. That sort of a man is al
ways said to lend strength to the
ticket. The nomination of n ticket
without single politician on it has
taken the breath out of the profes-
,ional politicians of Las Cruces, and
in their dire need they have tenta-
lively gotten together, a number OF

MARKET REPORT

Although receipts of cattle were
light last week prices cased off 10
to - cents on all kinds. Buyers have
no stocks of meat on hand to speak
Of, but they figure that good many
cattle are about ready Tor market,
and are playing waiting game. En-
pectntionS for today were not relied,
aS receipts amounted 10 but 5000
head, the lightest Monday for some
months. Prices are steady to 10
cents lower today, most of the loss
on beef steers, and there seems to
BE- weak and uncertain feeling m
the air, pointing to further modest
declines if receipts continue up to
normal or better. Cows and heifers
are steady today, cows largely at
1915 to 1925, heifers, $3.50 to IS;
some sales higher in each class; bulls.
rs to 1925; calves. 81 to 1915.
Dealers say these butcher classes
are about to receive Il big slash in
price, to put them in line with steers.
which have lost more proportionately
lately, and because of the impending
competition from Texas grass steers,
which will start running right away.
Stock cattle and feeders are strong
rr today, after two slumpy weeks.
Logically, stock cattle should be at
their strongest now, with grass al
most here. Texas sales of stock cat
tie for northern pastures say that
cattle bought by the head there are
costing more per pound than are eat :
tie bought on the markets. Beef
shortage is an actual fact, however
and stock cattle prices are Legitimate
ut almost any figure. Quarantine
receipts are light today, also supply
from Western sugar mills.
The Johnson guarantees brought
$3.50 today, heifers ut So; sugar mil
steers, SS.4O; bulls, 81.
Hog receipts today were 7,20I
head fairly good when compared will
recent Mondays; market stronger OF
light weights. which sold at 1896 I,
50. Pork consumption is at higl
figure, as is always the case whei
consumers have to choose between
high costing beef, pork and mutton
pork always winning out in such con
tests. II seems unlikely that receipt
will show more expansion before Jun
and prophets are expecting the mar
ket to work higher in April.
Sheep and lambs are hanging in tn
balance, with all signs favoring
drop in prices, yet they manage I,
almost hold their own. Sales wer
10 cents higher today, lambs largel,
at 1896 to $3.50, ewes up to 1875
wethers worth up to ~, light year
lings $7.75. Receipts are 5000 hea,
here today, and moderate receipts ar
expected here till Texas starts run
ming sheep freely, about n mont
) hence.
