France. 1t may be due to the fact
that, although love is easy to gain, It
requires tact and care on a wonans

So many girls think that, directly
the wedding ring is actually their own
they need no longer trouble then

The girl who wants to become a
thoroughly happy wife, loving anG be-

Tubular Headlluhts,

A new electric bulb for headlights
is tubular i'll form, instead of being
round, with the result that much
more effective light is produced. When
a round bulb is inserted in the base
of the headlight, rays from the fla
ment have to pass through two and
three thicknesses of the glass, on their
way to and from the reflector The
tubular bulb. being but of slightly
larger diameter than its base, sends
the reflected rays straight ahead with
out any further interference by the
bullying bulb II the center. The tubu-
lar bulb has another advantage, which
may or occasion prove highly Inn
portant. It can be withdrawn through
the rear CT the reflector, making it
possible tc use front lenses which
are screwed on tight, instead of being
hinged to the lamp.

NO GROUND FOR SCANDAL
Peace of the Dearly Family Was
Seriously Threatened.

A young married woman, whose hus.
band was of an exceedingly Jealous
disposition, decided to have her din.
ing room repapered. and telephoned
to the nearest paperhanger to send
one of his men with samples to her
home that afternoon.
Promptly at four o'clock the man
appeared with the usual large sample
book, and Mrs. Newlywed ushered him
into the dining room, as she thought
the paper could best be decided upon
when tried against the wall.
No, l don't like that brown, Mr..
Paperhanger. Try the buff,' she said
Then, mo, Mr.. Paperhanger, the figure
is too large in that; let me see that
dark blue! Yes, l like that, don't you
Mr.. Paperhanger?"
Yes, madam, that looks very well
but don't call me Mr.. Paperhanger
that isn't my NAME"
"Oh, pardon me, but what is your
name?" Mrs. Newlywed asked.
My name is Love- the paperhang
er answered, when Mrs. Newlywed be
gan to laugh.
Yes, Love- the paperhanger re
peated, somewhat nettled by the
lady's laughter. Then she Strengthened
her face and was about to speak
when her husband strobe into the
room, with fire in his eyes.
Get out of here, you infamous ras
call" he Numbered, shaking his fist
in the paperhanger's face. Get out
before l throw you out"
What's the matter with your" the
paperhanger snarled. What have ]
done?"
Done? Ask me what you have
done Here l just come home from a
hard days work and find you making
love to my wife, and then you ask me
what you have done"
Why, man, you're crazy! Why
should l make love to your wife when
l have one of my own? Your wife
asked me what my name was, and l
told her. w. E. Love. Now what
have you to say?" and the paperhang-
er Strengthened up ready for what
might happen next, when Mrs. Newly
wed said: "Oh, Harry, don't act so!
The man is telling the truth and /
was laughing when you came in at
the idea of having Love and Deary I'M
der the same roof"
This time the paperhanger looked
mystified, when Mrs. Newlywed ex-
planned: Our name is Deary, Mr..
Love- this is my husband, H. o.
Deary!"
Needlessly to say Mr.. Deary looked
very much ashamed of himself, and
Mr.. Love is now debating whether he
shall change his name or not!

CAUSE Of Hay FEVER
eollen of Ragweed Is Blamed BY
Physicians.
Irritating Principle of Plant Has Lon,
Been known-Stiuma That Rest
ed on the Goldenrod Has
Been Removed.

The chief cause of fall hay fever
is the pollen of the two varieties OF
ragweed. The generic name of the
two ragweeds is ambrosia. The COM
mon or wormweed variety is called
"artemisiifolia' on account of its
leaves resembling those of the worm.
wood (artemisia.) Ii is an annual,
with leaves much cut and thin, oppo-
site and alternate, as shown in the il.
lustration. 1t has spikes of green flow
ers at the end of the branches. 1t re.
sembles the common NORWOOD,
which, however, bears small insight
ticant white flowers.
The great ragweed is called "tri.
hdia' on account of its large three
lobed leaves. 1t is the tallest mem
Der of the group, and frequently grows
to height of II feet. 1t is common
in moist soil in the lowlands near the
gulf coast.
The irritating principle of both rag
weeds is formed in the spikelike flow
er, being yellowish in color and almost
as light as smoke. 1t is so abundant
that during the stage of pollination it
will stain ones clothes yellow while
passing through such field 1t is so
extremely light that it is almost inn
possible to collect any amount of it
without it's being blown away
Laboratory Investigators have iso-
lated large number of plants whose
pollen will produce the characteristic
reaction of hay fever. The golden
rod, for instance, has been accused of
being responsible for so per cent of
all cases of hay fever. The commit
tee on original research of the Ameri-
can Hay Fever Prevention associa-
ton has demonstrated the fact, how
ever, that the goldenrod belongs to a
group of only Is per cent of eases that
do not owe their origin to the rag
weed.
An obvious reason for the goldenrod
not being responsible for large num-
Der of cases is that its pollen is not
wind-blown, but heavy and tenacious,
so that the majority of patients are af-
fected only in the event that the nos.
trils are placed in close proximity
to the flower.
The pollen of the ragweed, however,
is easily detached in clouds and is dis
tributed by the wind over large ter
ritory.
The usual attacks of fall hay fever
sufferers are coincident with the pol
lination of the ragweed, while the
goldenrod frequently blooms for
weeks after the attacks have subsidized
The most active stage of the rag
weed is in the month of September
and every effort should be made at
that time to destroy these noxious
weeds.
The object of the American Hay
Fever Prevention association is the
dissemination of general knowledge OF
benefit to sufferers from hay fever, the
education of the public regarding the
weeds that are known to produce this

LEARN WAY TO MAKE LIVING
Good Advice for All Women Was
That rendered at Woman's Club
at Pittsburgh.

A woman of wealth, but who is new
ertheless identified with civic work
and is practicing lawyer, lately gave
a talk before a Pittsburgh mothers
club. Here is a part Of what she
said:
There is one question to which
every woman ought to be able to an
swer Yes. 1t is this: Can you earn
living if you should need to do?"
If there is one lesson more than an
other that has been emphasized in re-
cent years it is that the unframed
suffer most when a pinch comes. An
other lesson that is most sufficiently
understood is that there is practical
ly no security in fortune.
Be prepared, is advice for a woman
as we'll as for a nation. Train your
daughters, you mothers, to something
that will pay a return sufficient at
least for a livelihood. 1t can do no
harm, and it may mean just the diff
ference between happiness and misery
in later life.
There is nothing more pathetic than
TIE SlBlI VI SOluc uulOIlulldl6 WOIldu,
brought up to a competency and ut
terly unprepared to support herself,
who has been suddenly reduced to
poverty. We all know some such
woman. Pottering along at things
that are of no real use, at work given
by plying friends or strangers, more
or less dazed by contact with a world
that is foreign to her, sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings and
more desperate makeshifts, she at last
disappears, sucked under in the mael-
strom she has neither the strength nor
the training to resist.
Surely you don't want to run even
the faintest chance of becoming such
derelict, you don't want your daugh-
tiers to run any such risk. So be pre-
pared. Be fit for something, trained
to something, ready to take hold If
you must Know at least one thing
SO we'll that people will be glad to
pay you for doing it. Be able to say
Yes if the world should ask you If
you can return fair value for living.
It is the surest of human safeguards.

At the April meeting Of the city
council the last $500 payment on the
water works system Of Usage was
made and the complete plant is now
the property of the city. When the
system was installed in 1899 1t was a
legal impossibility for the city to raise
money enough or incur the necessary
indebtness to put It In. To overcome
the difficulty an organisation known
as the Usage Water Works Company
was formed and It furnished the money
for the system. In the granting Of the
charter the city reserved the right to
manage the entire plant and to pur-
chase 1t upon payment Of an annual
rental Of $780,. which, after deduct-
ing s per cent interest, should be ap-
piled to the principal sum involved.
With the payment of $500 this year
the debt is cancelled and the company
