New Field for Women.

The opening Of new avenues OF
profitable endeavor for women is q
matter of considerable importance,
and the Maxwell Motor company of
New York Is making an effort to util-
ize them as saleswomen. In a recent
communication the president Of the
company says: Il believe that there
is room for women in the automobile
business. Women have proved to be
good saleswomen and demonstrators
in other lines. We believe that they
viii be particularly successful with au
tomobiles, and We are going to take

right or wrong"
The company has accordingly put
Mrs. Crystal Eastman Benedict in
charge of the saleswoman's bureau
and she reports that the women so far
employed are proving their value.

Who Invented Khaki?

The answer to the question, who
invented khaki?" is not easy, al
though we all know that the adoption
of khaki by our army dates back TO
the South African war. 1t will sur
prise most people, says the Liverpool
Mercury, to be told that nearly fifty
years ago a Liverpool celebrity advo-
Gated something akin to khaki as the
most serviceable color for the uniform
Of our troops. w. G. Herdman, the
artist, and author of Ancient Liver
pool" writing in 1869, condemned the
red uniforms of the British and the
white uniforms of the Austrian ar
mics as the worst possible colors, hav-
ing regard to their visibility at long
distances. He added, IF armies went

Monster cheeses for Presidents.

The first monster cheese presented
to a president of which We can find
record is that offered with great pub
LEFTY to jefferson In 1902. The cheese
was made, one might almost say built,
in Cheshire, Mass, in a press giving
1t the great dimensions of feet in
diameter and IS inches in height.
After being successfully pressed it
was drawn from Cheshire to Washing
ton in a six-horse dray amid popular
rejoicing. With regard for the dig
nifty of his office, the president insist
ed on footing the bill to the tune Of
5000. There is record # an even
greater cheese presented to President
Jackson; and President Van Buren,
received a great cheese every year OF
his incumbency. With him the Gus
tom seems to have ended.

ALL RUN BY ELECTRICITY
Labor-savine Devices a Feature OF
House Exhibited at Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition.

Electrical labor-saving devices form
one of the most interesting features Of
the manufacturers exhibits at the Pan
ama-Pacific exhibition. A novelty
shown in this department is an all
electric house.
Many homes have been built and
adapted to use electricity In as many
ways as possible after construction,
but the house exhibited has had the
various features built in. Each room
is equipped with labor-saving devices
and electrically operated comforts. All
the kitchen machinery, from potato
peelers to the electric refrigerator, Is
motor driven.
The dining room is arranged so as
to show how light lunches can be pre-
pared on electric chatting dishes and
stoves. In the rear of the house there
is an electric workshop and garage
equipped with battery recharging
device for the electric automobile.

NITRATE DEPOSITS OF CHILE
Many Things to Which the Users Of
the supply should Give Close
Attention.

The worlds supply OF nitrate, for
use in the manufacture OF fertilizers,
explosives and other chemical prod
ucts. Is now derived almost entirely
from the deposits OF sodium nitrate In
northern Chile. These deposits arc
vast, as compared with any probable
future demand and even the best ef-
forts Of close monopoly supervised

TIE Chilean deposits have, however,
enc marked defect which is brought
into prominence by the present Euro
pean war; and which would have come
~. in still more disastrous form IN
Csc Of a war between the United
STATES and any power having an active
feet in the Pacific ocean. The defect
Is that the distribution of the output
is entirely by sea, and that the steam
ers carrying the nitrate must make
long run along open coasts. We must,
therefore, consider that nitrate, though
the supply is more than ample, is like
" to be entirely cut of under war
conditions.
In default of supply of Chilean nj
trate, a country would have to fall
back upon either (a) local or other
supplies of natural potash or soda nj
trates, (b) nitrogen extracted from
the air, or (c) nitrates manufactured
from coal tar products. All of these
are technically feasible, and none are
absolutely-pr ohibitive as to cost under
war conditions, though in normal times
zone of them can at present compete
with the Chilean supply.-Engineering

COME TO RESCUE OF BRUIN
Threatened With Extinction, Brother
Bear Has Found That He Has
Some Friends.

Since the bear flag days bruin has
been an accepted symbolic represen-
tativo OF the Golden state. He occu'
pies a place on its great seal, and, In
deed, has become a sort of institution.
When he Is not working at his more
dignihed job he engages in picking up
acorns, acting as scavenger around
mountain camps and making an occa-
sional raid upon farms in the hills.
He has come to be known, in private
life, as a rather amiable and lazy fell
low, If undisturbed, and indeed 1t may
be claimed for him that he has host
of friends.
But bruin, In the Wild has come close
to the great divide. For many years
he has made sport for the hunter dur
ing the summer, and for the trapper at
all seasons. Nowadays there are not
very many of him. Extinction is inn
minent He is about to go the way of
many another distinguished brute.

summer and eliminating at all seasons
