DEMOCRATIC QUEEN ELENA
CAUSES SENSATION IN ROME

Rome, March 23.--Beginning today,
the royal palace Of the Quirinal will
be constantly guarded by secret service
agents in plain clothes whose duty 1t
will be to act as q gecret guard to
Queen Elena whenever she may again
take it into her head to 60 SHOPPING On
foot. The queen recently caused the
hair of the entire personnel Of the de-
partment of public safety to sand on
end by quietly slipping out Of the
palace with three Of the royal children
and doing little informal shopping
afoot.
As usual the royal carriage had beon
called for her and mounted escort
was awaiting when the queen decided
TO 20 shopping just like she usod to IN
the streets Of Cottigie when sac was
merely Princess Elena Of Mrntengro
What she had done was discovered half
an hour later. An excited telephone
message was sent to the department Of
public safety and in less than a jiffy
tho entire force was scurSirR tho
streets of Rome to find what had be
come of the queen and the three royo'
children.

The American girl is by tempera-

THE "DAY OF REST'
AND HUMAN EFFICIENCY.

The refreshing influence of the
weekly day of rest" on a person sub
Jected to the strenuous routine of a
busy life is feature which he himself
can duly appreciate in the effects on
his Feelings" and Spirits - The eff
ficiency of the working man, the
length of the Working-day, the inter
lection of pauses for rest ia the scheI.
ule of labor for persons OF differepe
ages and stations in Iife-questions of
this sort are constantly arising for So
luton on scientific basis. Not only
in the field of malG Il labor, but also
In the case of the schoolchild, the
offlce-boy, the factory-girl, the banker.
and the merchant, efficiency is the key
note of the times. Fatigue is the en-
envy of efficiency; and to detect and
compensate for or overcome it, is the
duty of those concerned with the pro-
motion of human welfare.
In view of this says The Journal of
the American Medical Association T.
is of more than passing interest, to
know that DR.. Martin and some of his
associates in the Laboratory of Physi-
oIogy at the Harvard Medical School,
have been making careful study of
the whole question of fatigue and eff
cheney from physiological stand

nerve reaction tends to be high, that

significant, however, is the added fact

Il -
this has proved to be the most speedy
and effective plan for establishing
farm life schools.
The first Of the almost innumera-
BILE and incalculable influences Of the
farm life school is the effect upon the.
boys and girls of the community.
They not only gain the rudiments OF
education, but are given practical
training in the problems and pursuits
of their everyday life, training which,
will give them firm grip on that life
when they enter it. Instead of being
trained away from the farms as they
are in city high schools, they become
increasingly interested in it because
they have learned how to make couH-
try life profitable, comfortable, and
beautiful. The exodus from the farm
is checked
+ second comes the effect Of the
school on the county through the stu
dents. The boys and girls go out
from it as Yeritable apostles of light
in spreading the knowledge of scienti-
fic farming and home-making. The
faculty of the school has a like infiu-
ence. The school is expected to carry
in definite and vigorous extension
work throughout the county, giving
instruction to groWn-ups as well as
children. The trained experts of the
faculty, through demonstration work
and by organizing adult clubs through
cut the county, extend their influence
and that of the school far beyond the
lecture halls, until it touches and af-
fects every class in every part of the
county.
I'm the third place the farm-life
school exerts tremendous influence
over the general body of rural teach
ers. 1t becomes in effect a county
training school for teachers in practf-
cal. subjects. The rural teachers are
given demonstrations and instruction
On the school farm and in the labOra-
tories, and the head of the agricultuf-
al department of the farA life school
often becomes the county supervisor
of practical branches.
FINALLY, not the least effective
work done by the farm life school is
its cooperation with the demonstra.
ton and club work of the North Caro-
lima College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts, and of the State and Ma
tional Departments of Agriculture.
1t gives to all these agencies an i'm
.betus and working field that they
cannot get in counties which have no
such schools 1t becomes a dynamic
center of energy radiating to every
part of the county the electro-motlve
force of uplift, intelligence and social
betterment."

TRADE AT HOME.
Some Pointers to Purchasers Always
Seeking Sensational Bargains.

Some Pointers to Purchasers Always
Seeking Sensational Bargains,
Why is it the people can not learn
the simple lessons that they can not
get something for nothing?" To gst
good value, one must pay good money.
The offer to sell goods at less than
their value ought to create suspicion
Immediately that something is wrong.
The Mirror is impelled to make this
itterance because it is reliably in
formed that recently a big department
store in nearby large city used a full
page in the Sunday edition of leading
daily paper to advertise toilet articles
at cut prices.
1T least thrae-fourths of the space
was used to exploit number of toilet
articles under a name and trademark
practically unknown. Their merits (?l
were beautifully word-painted in full
some description, and, finally the price
was cut deep, for the advertisements
named a price and then cut it half in
two as a special sale offer. Possibly
tre numerous articles under the name
can still be bought in any quantity
from single box or bottle, to car Load
lots, at the cut price, or at less named
in the big advertisement.

RoRK BEDS DO FOR rARarrRs.

s
In the current issue of Farm and
TIreside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio. Judson
G. Welliver, Washington correspondent
of the that publication, writes an ar
ticle entitled Birds That Work for
the Farmer in the course of which
he tells about the new federal law
which has been passed for the protec-
ton of birds that are of practical help
to agriculture. Following is an ex.
tract from his article:
In truth. the birds do more work
Tor the farmer, at lower wage, than
any other part of his livestock equip
ment. What it would mean to have
cirdless country was most pointedly
suggested to me by the story that
West Indian gentleman told me about
enc OF the islands of the Caribbean
] region, with which he was familiar
Many years ago, he said, the mon
goose, from the East Indies, was in.
troduced into this island by people
who believed it would rid the place of.
snakes.
So the mongooses or mongeese. &C
cording to the plural you prefer, were
brought along. But the results prov
ed that it was a sad mistake. The
Eongoose multiplied and throve; bur
he proved to prefer birds eggs as a
diet, to reptiles. In time he we'll
nigh destroyed the islands entire bird
population. The reptiles and all man
ner of insectivora multiplied at such
rate that the island, one of the very
richest in natural elements in all the
world, has become peculiarly unde-
stable place of residences: it's devel-
oTment has been retarded.
Cur new federal bird law looks to
saving this country from anything
like such a calamity"

However, the department store knew
full well that the bargain CD offered
in an unknown untried, unadvertised-
trademarked article would not land
buyers without real tempting lure, 50
tIey devoted about one-fourth Of the
space simply to the name and cut
price on number of trademarked-ad-
vertised articles, such as three large
CO kes of Ivory soap for 10 cents,
box Of DR.. Lyons tooth powder ID
cents, three cakes of\Palmolive soap
fo! Is cents, and a few other we'll
known high quality articles whose
price is uniform and the value recog-
nized.
The cut on the trademarked- adver-
tiged articles was not deep, but it was
Sufficient to attract buyers for the en-
tire stock of these articles and more,
if the department store had really
wanted to sell them at the reduced
pr-ces. 1t is needless to say that
when a customer asked for a qdanti-
ty and planked down the cash, he or
she was told that only, one box Of
Lyons tooth powder at 13 cents, three
cakes of Palmolive soap at 25 cents,
or the other known articles in proper
ton would be sold to each customer
but the Aids to Beauty prices CD
which had been cut deep, could be had
in any quantity.
The wise buyers took the quantity
they could get of articles Of known
Yalue-thes suckers bought Aids TO
