EAtravagant America.

Tie present high cost OF living
Ian been st.:i!,uted to American
extravaganza.
This is an oft-repcated charge. il
is said that we are not as thrifty
and more wasteful than our fathers
and our grandfathers were, says the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
There are gray heads living today
who can remember how they saved
the rags, old iron and bottles. and
how these were traded with ped
dlers who went through the coun-
try exchanging their wares for
them.
The rag man has become a myth.
Tho bottle man is now figure Of
fiction.
We waste what in our fathers
and grandfathers' day was turned
into profit. We throw away. ac-
eording 10 the, French, enough food
each day to maintain an ordinary
family n week. The French chef
wastes nothing. Every dish that
goes ON the table Is consumed
sooner or later. What Is left over
from one meal, by the deft use OF
sauces and culinary knowledge. is
Iosde to serve In a palatable form
at another meal.
Whenever we talk with foreign
erk who have made econcmy study
they frankly tell us that the Ameri.
can uauon is the most extravagsnt
In the world.
AS sn evidence of this. l.. l..

ago 1t was common to find pcddlars
with wagon load of tinware ped

President Arthur there was much
alarm over the danger OF importa-
lion Of foreign disease germs in the
rags imported from the Meditey-
ranean TO continental Europe. and
for the last decade manufacturers
who require rags as raw material
have been dependent largely upon
France, Spain, Austria and Italy"

Shetland Veil Scarf One Of the Most
Practical Trifes for the Woman
Fond of Sports.

To multitude Of practical uses may
this admirable veil be put In the
first place it is a comfortable motor
veil, sheer and fine enough to make
, observation of all that is passing pos
sible without the least strain on the
eyes and is warm and cozy for wear
when the wind comes keen and biting,
against the face.
1t is delightful veil, ALSO for mo-
tor boat and yachting wear, for, tied
about the head in cap fashion, with
rosettes knotted over the ears, it keeps
the hair from flying about and pro-
tects the waved tresses from sea fogs
and sea spray.
Used as scarf it may be thrown
over the shoulders at the theater
or between dances, or over lace
blouse when one leaves the car for
dinner at an outOf-door restaurant,
and some protection from chill is de-
sirable, though the big motor coat
is too heavy for comfortable table
wear
Used as sash, the veil scarf of
pliable Shetland weave may be knot
ted about the hips over golf or ten
mis- skirt, and be ready to throw
around the shoulders when one rests
after the game

Peter Knox folded up the papers
and the memoranda and returned them
to the long leather lettercase. He
cleared his throat He seemed to find
what he was trying to say particu
larly difficult.

asked of the girl beside him, who was
staring thoughtfully at the fire.
"Oh, yes, Peter" said She Il haven't
anything. That's it, isn't it,"
He nodded rather wretchedly
No one had any idea things were
so badly involved" said he Il knew
your father was rather troubled for
some time before his death, but l

She smiled up at him bravely.

his hand. Don't worry. l have my

"Oh, you mustn't think Of that" he
demurred.
"Of WHAT" she asked.
"Of facing the world alone"
He was big young man, heavy of

Rose, I've got heaps and heaps OF
money Marry me-"
ooh, Peter, please-not that" said
she.
She fancied Peter looked very much
relieved. Peter was thinking he didn't
blame her.
You couldn't think of It, them"
said he little wistfully.

she. You're awfully good and dear"

Then came the word that Peter had
lost all his money. His big, foolish,
soft heart had, Of course, been re-
sponsible. No one seemed to know
where Peter was. He had disap-
peared.
Then one day as Rose was crossing
little park-like enclosure in the cen.

Peter on one of the benches-a shah.

glad to see you. Where on earth have
you been?"N
Hiding from creditors mostly" said
Peter with sickly grin, "and trying

lovely you look.'
"You poor, soft-hearted boy" said
she, sitting down beside him.
Peter looked at her, still worship

HOLIDAY QUIET IN WESTERLY
Siren of Rebuilt Fire Truck Heard for the First
 Time Bandits at Bradford Hold Up Three Men and
 Shoot a Fourth

The Fourth of July was observed in Westerly along the same lines as on any other holiday, by 9 general sus- pension of business and a day of recre- celebration--the day after as we'll as the night before and the day itself. The usual peace and quiet was not even disturbed by the discharge of re- volvefs or the explosion of f1recraek- CTS. for the laws regulating the old time noise making celebration were strictly observed. There was an un- usual noise, however, on the morning of July Fourth, when the siren of a motor-driven fire apparatus was heard for the first time in Westerly. and it attracted much attention among those congregated in Dixon square. It was the machine from Marlboro that was rebuilt from the Cyclone chemical and hose wagon into a motor-driven ap- paratus, to be the first for the depart ment of the Westerly fire district. The machine came down High street, with siren blowing, and was going at a 35 mile an hour clip.i It swished through Dixon square and made a quick turn up Union street to the fire house. There the apparatus was closely inspected and the general opinion was that it was a thing of beauty as well as of thorough efficiency.
 Chief Samuel G. Cettrell, Assistant Chief Harry Ceyle and James Max well, who is to be taught as one of the drivers, went to Providence by railroad, where the deinonstrator met them with the machine, and started on the return trip to Westerly. This trip was made without hitch. The run was considered a satisfactory test, the distance and the general conditions be- ing more than will ever be required from the apparatus in fire duty in Westerly. Just as soon as the ma chine was given a needed washing, after the long run from Marlboro, Mass. hose was placed in position and the motor driven apparatus was prac- ucally in commission, with the demon strator in charge, in readiness to give instructions to the men who will run the machine.
 The apparatus that arrived on July Fourth is the Cyclone combination wagon converted into the motor driven class the body, chemical tank hose basket, hand rail, lanterns. etc, being used in the reconstruction and there by the beauty lines of the old wagon are retained. The body is not as deep as used in modern apparatus, but is ample for 1000 feet of fire hose. The Westerly fire district in addition to this Combination wagon ordered a motor driven hose wagon in Marlboro. This will be entirely new and is expected to arrive within two weeks. and will be
