me. I tell 1t as she said IT.;
My husband has a frlend-the friend
of his heart, the friend of his youth, the
friend of his lifc-and that friend bores
me almost to death.
He's such a goose OF a man, so i'm
practical, so visionary, so full of vague
schemes and impossible dreams and
they're all about himself and my huS-
band.
He's going to Europe with my hus-
band. he says, and he wants to sit in
front Of the library fire and talk about
it, till have to so to bed in despera-

The swimming pool Is proving one
OF the most popular attractions OF
the department OF physical educa-
ton. which boasts that it's activities
extend over morning. afternoon. and
evening. 1t has become quite the
thing for the shopper or the busi-
ness girl TO stop In at the pool in q
street for a refreshing swim before
going home In the evening. The
course of instruction lasts but eight
weeks, allowing for the formation OF
new classes about every two months.
After the course under instruction
Is completed. supplementary swims
under supervision are quite the
thing. Tho gymnasium classes are
paying much attention to Improving
posture this winter, and record are
kept on one of the walls for every

commonly called rust. Thus, any

constantly exposing now surfaces or

All About Iron
BY MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.

NANOs SA4ANlo
TRUIY this is indeed the Iron
age" especially for the
housewife whose many
household articles are made
from iron or its modified metals.
The natural iron ore is con-
verted by different processes
into almost different metals which
differ considerably in strength fln-
ish, and hardness. For instance,
we have the wrought iron, as in
andirons and some other household
pieces, which is actually shaped by
the anvil.
Again. there is the far more
brittle cast iron which is nodded
TO meet the conditions OF definite
shapes, such as the treadle OF
sewing machine, or there is both
mild and hard steel, most familiar
in scissors, bed springs, and certain
parts or stoves and much house
hardware. Steel is very hard and
elastic, and is therefore the par
ticular Kind of iron used Tor cutting
surfaces or where any reslliency is
needed, as in a spring either Of a
watch or a bed.
The housewife may not recognize
in her familiar enamel ware, or
so-called agate" kitchen uetnsils a
product OF iron. but this Is true that
enamel ware IS nearly iron covered
with a blaze similar to that used
on porcelain or china. The shaped
piece of iron is dipped into the
molten glaze which solidifies on cool
ing. and which should make an i'm
pervious coating. 1t does this until
the coating is Clipped off. when II
Is easy TO see the iron underlying
metal.
The common galvanized bucket or
pail or FOOT tub Is another modilica-
lion of iron ore. Here We have tne

THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

During the days of your youth, that
heyday period of life. when the serious
problem of old folks seemed far in the
distance, you probably bad some COM
panion whom you and your other fell
lows thought just little queer. This
playmate may have been just as full OF
mischief as yourself, but he had to
most of the boys an eccentric turn Of
mind. He was always working away
at some problem. He took things a
little too serious for the comprehension
Of the average youth.
Most successful men have grown out
of these queer boys. Such is the be-
ginning of the road to success. Seri-
BUSINESS of purpose in time brings re-
suits. The boy or girl who realizes
that he or she is possessed with some
all consuming talent and sets out with
definite purpose to develop that gift,
may be found rising above the heads of
the ordinary flock as youth unfolds into
manhood and womanho0d.
Because of their recent successes we
are made to think of Herman Struck
and Ferdinand Struck. When they
were growing boys on their fathers
ranch on the West Side road, no one
overheard much of them. The school
day exploits were not brilliant. but all
the time. in all probability, they had in
their minds definite pictures of the fu-
ture, and today we find one well on the
road to success as an artist and the
other is reaching high place as an
exponent of industrial education.
No less steady has been the progress
of Capt. Otis Treiber. Less than 10
years ago "0te" Treiber was a rousta-
bout on one of the local ferry boats
He worked so faithfully that he was
soon a part owner and then sole owner
of the Hood River Underwood system.
The types of boats in use didn't suit
him. He wanted to give his patrons
better service. The long evenings of
the winter two years ago were spent
in designing light draft sidewbeel
craft. Still he did not attract very
much attention locally. Yet the design
of his new boat attracted officials of
Clallam county. Washington, and he
was called there to give material ex-
pressions to the talents he had devel-
oped, and next we hear of him designing
$50. 900 ferry boat for King county.
Truly, hard work and seriousness of
purpose are the great propelling forces
that drive mans career-chariot up the
steep road leading to the crown point
of success.
