DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice SeIf-criti-
cism-idleness Is One of Hab-
its Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing is sell
dom realized. But it means going
backward. Or, if it means floating
along to somewhere, it also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out of sight. Every boy should
adopt Secretary Redfield's advice to
business men-to practice self-criti-
cism; to find out if anything is the
matter, and then correct it, says Ohio
State Journal.
We suspect if every boy and girl
would undergo a little determination
they would find idleness was one of
their habits. And they are apt also to
think it is an innocent habit; but it is
not; it is a dangerous habit Remem-
Der the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do, and that something is evil always.
Now, work is not always struggle
with ones hands. It does not always
make one perspire and get short of
breath. If a person thinks of things
that are true. if he builds up noble
ideals, If he plans enterprises of good
will, if he makes use of his spirit in
forming fine resolutions-this is not
idling.
The test for idleness is very easy.
When one wastes his time he is idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
deed to make his life better he is
idling. Teaching a boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

New style of Shedding.

boy. The new sled has, besides one
log runner or shoe in the center, an
auxiliary runner, which is adjustable,
and which may be raised out of the
way when coasting down grade. The
smaller runner is dropped only when
the speed declines to the point that
the sled refuses to maintain its up
right position by reason of its momen-
tum. The new sled will carry one or
two persons. The operator stands on
the runner and has a convenient han
die to hold and to aid him in guiding
the machine, which is done largely by
swaying the body from one side to the
other. The new style of shedding prom
ises to be very exhilarating.

German Armx,s Wireless.

Wireless telegraphy plays an impor-
tant part in the German army. The
thoroughness with which the Germans
have adapted the wireless to military
use is but another example of their
marvellous military efficiency. Portable
wireless telegraph outfits have been
developed that are far more compact
than those in use in other armies of
the world. The German field set is
carried in either light automobile or
on motorcycle side car. These short
range outfits will send and receive
over an average distance Of thirty-five
miles.-American Boy.

A new style of shedding will be

which will no doubt be heartily re-

than toboggan or snowshoes. 1t might
be termed "one-legged sled,' for in

While a second one is provided it is

FASHION HAS NOT YET SETTLED

Exaggerated Width May Remain in
Style, But 1t Is Not Certain
Long Sleeves to Be Accepted
Matter of Coats.

If one is altering a street. or house
skirt it would be wiser not to adopt
the exaggerated width, for it has only
blazed the way for a less narrow
skirt than we have worn for several
seasons, and now the best thing is
to cut new skirts in between the two
widths. The shortness of it depends
upon our own inclinations, but there
is no semblance of a return to an in
step length, and, better still, there is
no sign that they will touch the floor.
We are too inordinately proud of our
footwear these days to accept a style
of skirt that would hide it.
1t is also safe to accept the gathers
at the waist line of the skirt, but not
at the waist line of the bodice. More
and more are we convinced that the
fitted waist will play the important
part in the spring fashions. Already
there is an air of oddness about the
blouse that says over the belt, and
there is no effort made to shorten the

KEEPING THE NECK sHAPELY
Allowing Accumulation of Too Much
Flesh Is Fatal to a Woman's
Good Looks.

Too much flesh on the neck is per-
haps one of the greatest obstacles to
beauty which any woman can possess.
1t is almost as bad in appearance as
a scrawny throat, and is much more
dificdlt to remedy. 1t is a far simpler
thing to put flesh on a woman's
throat than to take it on, for if the
tissues are fed with a good grease,
such as cocoa butter, the neck will
soon begin to take on flesh.
On the other hand, only exercise of
the most vigorous sort win reduce the
size of the throat. For a tendency to
double chin and to tighten the mus
cles which have become loosened in a
fabby neck try this simple but efica-
cious exercise. Throw the head back
as far as it will go, drawing the mus
cles taut- Now turn the head slowly

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystifed by
series of murders and other crimes The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with "clutching hand" The latest vic
tim of the mysterious assassin is Taylor
Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Kennedy,
the famous scientific detective, to try to
.unravel the mystery. What Kennedy &C
composites is told by his friend Jameson,
a newspaper man. Enraged at the deter
mined effort which Elaine and Craig Ken
nedy are making to put end to his
crimes, the Clutching Hand, as this
strange criminal is known. resorts to all
sorts of the most diabolical schemes to
put them out of the way. Each chapter
of the story tells of a new plot against
their lives and of the way the great de-
tective uses all his skill to save this pref
~ girl and himself from death.

waist and there is every indication of
a well-defined waist line.
Long sleeves must be accepted, and
in the evening there is a rival fashion
creeping up on the one that eliminates
the sleeve altogether; it calls for
short sleeve of the material, is a bit
full, and ends in a band of itself and
a ruffle of lace. This is only used on
those new frocks in which the bodice
is of the same opaque fabric as the
skirt. One gown that shows this fea-
ture is of white taffeta embroidered
with huge silver wheels, the skirt
gathered to the belt, and the bodice
merely a continuation of the material.
Opposed to this is the fashionable sur
plice bodice with the material drawn
up to points on the shoulders and
caught with a flower or a jewel, but
not holding a sleeve, or providing
place for one.
AS for coats, cut them short if you
are altering on a large scale. The
long one has no chance as far as one
can see. Even those that cover the
hips are giving way to ones that
merely cover the waist line.
Hips are smoothly fitted, even when
there are gathers, strange as it may
sound, for these gathers are held in
by belt that drops over them and
fastens with a buckle, often of gun
metal.
All these points are wellestablished
and they are good for the woman who
intends now to commence the process
of alteration.

A little impatient at being interrupt

CURED to me that he might need
pad and pencil to make a note of
some information, and 1 reached over
the desk for them.
AS l did so my arm inadvertently
struck the bottle of acid, knocking it
over on the top of the desk. Its con-
tents streamed out saturating the tele-
phone wires before could prevent it,
In trying to right the bottle my hand
came in contact with the acid which
burned like liquid fire, and / cried out
in pain.
Craig hastily laid down the re-
ceiver, seized me and rushed me to
the back of the laboratory, where he
drenched my hand with a neutraliZ-
ing liquid.
He pound up the wounds caused by
the acid, which proved to be slight,
after all, and then returned to the tele-
phone.
To his evident annoyance, he dis
covered that the acid had burned
through the wires and cut off all con-
nection.
At the other end of the line, Elaine
was listening impatiently for a re-
Spouse to her first eager words of in
quiry. She was astonished to find,
at last, that Kennedy had apparently
left the telephone without any expla-
nation or apology.
''Why-he rang off," she exclaimed
angrily to herself, as she hung up the
receiver and left the room.
In the center of a devious and wind
ing way. quite unknown to all except
those who knew the innermost secrets
of the Chinese quarter, and even I'M
known to the police, there was dingy
tenement house, apparently inhabited
by-hard-working Cinnamon, but in re-
S1ity the headquarters of the notori-
Sous devil worshipers, a sect of satan
lists, banned even in the Celestial en-
| pire.
The followers of the cult comprised
| some of the most dangerous Chinese
| criminals, thugs and assassins, be-
sides a number of dangerous charac-
tiers who belonged to various Chinese
secret societies. At the head of this
formidable organization was Long Sin,
the high priest of the devil god, and
Long Sin had, as we know, already
joined forces with the notorious
| Clutching Hand.
The room in which the uncanny rites
of the devil worshipers were conduct
| ed was a large apartment decorated in
Chinese style, with highly colored por-
traits of some of the devil deities and
costly silken hangings. Beside large
dais depended huge Chinese gong.
On the dais itself stood, or rather
sat, an ugly figure covered with some
sort of metallic plating. 1t almost
seemed to be the mummy of a China
man covered with gold leaf
Into this room came Long Sin at
tired in an elaborate silken robe. He
advanced and kotowed before the
dais with its strange figure, and laid
down an offering before it.

twenty or thirty Cinnamon who knelt
in the rear of the ROOM

THE DEVIL WoRsHIPERS.
Elaine was seated in the drawing
room with Aunt Josephine one after
noon, when her lawyer, Perry Ben
nett, dropped in Unexpectedly.
He had hardly greeted them when
the butler, Jennings, in his usual i'm
passive manner announced that Aunt
Josephine was wanted on the tele-
phone.
No sooner we're Elaine and Bennett
alone than Elaine, turning to him, ex-
claimed:
Last night 1 dreamed that father
came to me and told me that if
would give up Kennedy and put my
trust in you, 1 would find the Clutch
ing Hand. I don't know what to think
of it."
Bennett, who had been listening in
tently, moved over nearer to Elaine
and bent over her.
Elaine" he said in a low tone, his
remarkable eyes looking straight into
her own, you must know that l love
you. Then give me the right to pro-
tect you. 1t was your fathers dearest
wish, believe, that we should marry.
Let me share your dangers and I
swear that sooner or later there will
be an end to the Clutching Hand
Give me your answer, Elaine" he
urged, "and make me the happiest
man in all the world

thetically, as Bennett continued to

agreed Bennett quietly.
He took her hand and kissed it pas
sionately.
An instant later Aunt Josephine re-
turned. Elaine, unstrung by what
had happened, excused herself and
went into the library.
Involuntarily, her mind travelled
back over the rapid succession of
events of the past few weeks and

Silas Wood Rode His Pony Over
Omaha Before There Was
a Town Here.
ATTENDS HISTORICAL BANQUET

The presence of Silas Wood
Omaha Indian, last Wednesday eve
ming at the Fontenelle hotel was of
particular significance to those in
terested in the early history of
Omaha and the state. The occasion
was a banquet rendered by John Lee
Webster, president OF the Nebraska
State Historical association, TO the
committee of one hundred in charge
of the semi-centennial celebration of
the admission of Nebraska into the
union.
While members Of the committee were
chatting i'm the lobby OF she hotel, before
going into the banquet room, the Indian
visitor occupied corner scat and chRtted
freely with the white men. Mr., Wood,

II years of age, speaks English flucntly.
He answered many questions regarding

recalled that when Fontenelle was killed
by the Sioux near Beaver creek the chief
was riding a roam horse. He said the
Sioux could recognize the horse as far
as they could see.
''FNontenelle had the swiftest horse of
the tribe and no Sioux could have caught
him, but he made mistake by going
into the bend of the river and his horse
became mired 1t was Fontenelle's time
to die" he continued.
His Time Had Come.
Asked what he meant by saying 1t was
the chiefs time to die, he explained that
his time had come, sort of decree of
the gods, as 1t might have been in Indian
