THE strength OF friendship consists
more in liking the same things than In
liking each other"
Many a friendship OF love affair, or
even marriage, has been shipwrecked on
the rocks OF dlssimilar tastes and widely
separated interests Too many people
who care for each other cannot analyze
the reason for their feeling beyond she's
iust my style" or He Just appeals to
me" II is all very we'll to feel a tug at
your heart strings and a glow in your
blood when some individual is near. but.
II YOU try 20 build a lasting Relationship
on either OF those symptoms you will
find that the tug may pull apart and the
glow fade.
Inst'ncuvely We often recognize friends
to-be or loves in embryo often we meet
the new person and as their personality
calls and ours answers VIC feel there ise
some one / could like" mot some one
40 like. but some ono II could" care for.
And in that potential could" opposed to-
ono positive do" lies the crux OF the
whole matter
InHtincuve attraction Is splendid
thing The charm OF one individual out
OF y group for a certain selected other
Individual exists and can not be ex-
planned or put under a microscope and
made perfectly clear and evident.
But u friendship. love or marriage are
oach or all to develop from this germ ofa
attraction, there must he reinforcement
OF common interests, similar or at least
sympathetic tastes and ideals and as
pirations In common.
There is such thing as making your
self congenial 20 the people for whom
YOU care. Think how mother encour-
ages her boys to tell her OF their victories
in class room or on foot ball field, and
listens to her girls discoursing OF fox
trota and tennis courts. even though her
interests center In Browning clubs or
cooking trlumphs She interests herself
in the tastes and occupations OF thosc
she loves and so brings herself ever closer
by sympathetic understanding that makes
for congeniality. The boys say Mothers
good sport" and glow with pride when
they say Il. The girls lovingly whisper.
Isn't mother q dear? She does under
stand" And their eyes giistcn with ten
der tears when they think how dear
mother ls IN
/ Mother IL wise enough 20 make her boys
and girls feel the congenial warmth Of
/ her love and interest.
! II would be wise for friends. lovers.

their affection with the delicious sauce OF
congenlality and serve It at the wide

sentimental. emotional and OF a most af-
fectionate disposition.
THE man picked out TO marry was
practical, self-contained. without shred
Of romance in his composition. Love was
the whole OF life 10 me. There were a
million things more important TO him.
Love did not compare In interest to him,
for instance. with business. or golf. or
fishing. or base ball.
I'm not saying he wasn't fond Of me-
He was in his way. am sure that he
cared for me more than he ever did for
any other woman, and he was kindness
and generosity itself to me. He lavished
upon me everything in the world but one
thing that I wanted most-and that was
love. adored him. worshipped him. I
had no life except as II came to me
through him. simply did not exist when
he was out of my sight, and so 10 be
near him became a sort of Old Woman
of the Sea that he could never shake off,
although had too little sense TO realize
what l was doing, and that must in
evitably make him hate me. as We all do
the burden on our backs.
Just for the sheer JOY had IN look
Ing at him took TO haunting his office
until he was finally forced 10 forbid me
to come to his place OF business.

Do Battles Incite Storms?

cles also play an important part In the
electric phenomena of the atmosphere.
This being so, the air over the battlefield
may become charged not only with con-
densed watery vapor. but with electricity
to such a degree as to bring about either
quiet downfall of rain or a thunder
shower
For a considerable number OF years in
the wine growing districts OF France,
where thunderstorms are frequently ac-
companied by destructive volleys of hail,
hundreds Of so-called hail cannon have
been systematically employed in lombard
ing the sky whenever threatening clouds
appear in order to prevent the formation
of the dreaded hail. While scientific in
vestigators have generally pronounced
this system of defense against HAN
theoretically ineffective, thousands of
wine growers have expressed great con
fidence in it and have continued to use
It.
| They say that the shocks and the atmo-
spheric swirls produced by the discharge
OF the hail cannon" cause the moisture
of the clouds TO fall in fine rain instead
OF accumulating in bulky hail stones.
If the effect ascribed to the ''hail can
asSaA 0C ANbdidSd db cHIdDlSDeQ,
1t would be an easy step to believe that
in great battle, where the atmospheric
vibration must be incomparably more
powerful and widespread, a still greater
effect of a similar kind may be pro-
duced. The electric disturbance produced
by batt,c may be enormous.
Still thee are contradictory and puz-
zling circumstances. The alleged effect
of the hail cannon" is Immediate that
of the thunders OF the battlefield is re-
mote. following hours after the shock
has passed. 1t is not affirmed that the
hail cannon can produce rain out OF a
clear sky; but that is exactly what the
eannonading OF contending armies is be-
lieved by some to be able to do.
Since neither OF these popular beliefs
is accepted by scientific authorities, the
general public must take such evidence
as it can get and judge for itself Science
does not say that these things are i'm
possible; it only says that they are i'm
probable.

Household Hints

In hot weather place the butter In a
bowl. then put the bowl and butter into
a larger dish containing as much salt
and water as win come 10 within half
an inch OF the top Of the butter bowl
Cover lightly with a piece OF white paper
or muslin 20 keep out the dust and put
in cool place. Always before unwrap-
ping butter hold the parcel under the
cold water faucet for few seconds, and
you will find that the paper will come off
without even the slightest bit Of butter
adhering.
The best way to clean hair brushes is
with spirits OF ammonia. No rubbing is
required, and cold water can be used
just as successfully as warm. Take a
teaspoonful OF ammonia 10 a quart OF
water. dip the hair part OF the brush
without wetting the wood. and In a mo-
ment the grease will be removed; then
rinse in cold water, shake the brush well,
and dry in the air. but not IN the sun.
Soda and soap soften the bristles

such observations as do exist were not
made in scientific manner, The ver-
dict is mot proved"
But 1t is within the range of possibi
ity that a sympathetic Investigation
would show that the great battles do af-
feet the atmosphere in such way as TO
produce local weather changes Of a more
or less pronounced character.
There are two things which might be
supposed to have n special tendency in
that direction; first, the long continued
and violent agitation of the air by dis
charges of artillery. musketry and rapid
fire guns, and second, the introduction
into the atmosphere of great quantities OF
smoke, dust and gases from the guns and
the bursting shells.
