The first author Of books dealing
with card games 0as Edmund Hoyle.
who died In London. aged ninety
seven in 1770. His treatise on whist,
piquet and other games of chance are
still authorities, and According to
Hoyle" has become a proverb. Hoyle
has been called the inventor of whist,
which is an error. although he was
the firs to popularize the game and
place 1t on a scientific and exact foot
ing. Hoyle was lawyer by profes-
sion, but he derived a good income
from his books. For his treatise on
whist he received $4,000, and the work
was SO popular that 1t ran through
five pirated editions. Hoyle gave in.
structions in whist to parties of ladies'
and gentlemen. charging each FIVE
dollars per lesson. For some years
he held an official court position In
Ireland which paid him $4,000 per
year. Hoyle's book on whist was
first published in 1743, and it's circu-
lation since then has probably run
into the millions of copies.

BelIlgerent Grocers.

Lord Kitchener's message. pro-
claimed by the secretary of the Brit
ish Grocers' federation. that the gov
ernment wants more men, and among
other places wants them out Of
grocers' Shops recalls the fact that
in olden times this trade played a
useful part in national defense. The
Grocers' company was commanded in
1857 to furnish 60 men for "the re-
sistance of such iniquitous attempts
as may be made by foreign enemies"
Further demands OF the same kind
were satisfied In successive years. and
in 1888 the company supplied 500 men
to resist the Spanish armada. Au-
thority was granted to press men into
the service. and apprentices and jour
neymen were called upon to leave the
counter for the battlefield. Sir John
Philpot. an early master Of the Gro
GERS company, cleared the North sea

means Of feet equipped entirely at

the vote in Finland as a reward for
the active part taken by Finnish wom-

t!onal independence when the women
struggled side by side and hand to

diet of Finland gave to women who
paid taxes the vote on municipal mat

lived in the country or the small towns
and villages. In 1872 this was extend
ed to taxpaying women who lived in
cities. In 1906 there was a great up
rising Of the Finnish people. and the
czar Of Russia granted a new con-
stitution to Finland the parliamen-

after. Many good laws have been
enacted since the granting of equal
suffrage in Finland. but as all laws

ECONOMY IN WARTIraE
Mr.. GWILLkiMBY FINALLY GETS
DOWN TO BEDROCK.
All luxuries and a Few of the Neces.
saries Being Cut Out, He Now
Buys Small Boys Watches
by the Gross.

II didn't seem possible that this
European war business could ever at
fect our income in any way" said MIR
Gwillkimby, but it did hit US finally
in way that we had never even
dreamed of; and then, like SO many
other people, we were forced to econo.
miZe.
"A man never can tell what he can
do till he has to, but then he can do
most anything. In our household eX-
penses we found many things that
were really only luxuries that we could
lop off without suffering, and then we
went through what in fiusher days we
should have considered as necessaries
and cut down on them, finding among
even these things many that we could
do without; and lastly we cut the
things we had to have right down to
the bone.
With all these sacrifices, changes
and revisions we finally got our ex-
penses down on paper below our re-
duced income; but somehow, in actual
practice 1t didn't work out that way.
Instead of having as we now should
have, even on our smaller means. a
little surplus, we still had every week
a little shortage. 1t never struck me
where that leak was till one day it
came to me all of sudden that l had
forgotten to figure into our expenses
the cost of our sons watches!
Our boy, like most boys at the
present time, carries a watch; but |
doubt If any other boy on earth is as
hard on watches as our boy is. He
regulates his watch about seven times
a day and sets it seventeen times.
About twice week he takes the back
and front off his watch. looks in at the
wheels and stirs them up little and
moves the hands.
Once in a while he takes the works
out of a watch, but l have never yet
known him to put them back. Ere
quently he drops his watch, as likely
as not on the floor. In one way and
another he uses up two or three
watches a week. an average of a
dozen a month; and whenever he
broke his watch he would come to me
for a new one and l would give him
the money freely.
But, cheap as these watches are,
we couldn't possibly do that much
longer now; and the question was
what should we do about it, for he
had got to have a watch somehow; we
would sooner go without milk on the
table than ask our boy to go without
q watch in his pocket Then I had
another bright idea. on which I am
now acting.
"Inow buy our watches by the gross
instead Of singly, thereby making a
considerable saving; enough. in fact
to bring our expenses down to Just
below our income: ind l now expect
that we shall be able to hold things sc
until the great war is over and our in
come gets back to normal"

FIND HIDDEN FLiWs IN STEEL
$-Rays, 1t Has Been Ascer.ained
Have Commercial Importance
Not Hitherto Recognized.

X-rays promise to have busy use in
shops in the near future, for IL has
lately been discovered that they will.
under some conditions. detect hidden
flaws in steel and other metals, says
the Saturday Evening Post An Amer.
lean research laboratory has already
successfully applied them to this task
and the investigators are tconfident
that. with little more study, practical
methods for daily service can be
worked out
In these times, when steel enters so
much into ordinary living and flaw
in piece of steel may cost many
lives and great damage, flaw de-
tector is a great need. For instance,
two years ago a large number OF rail-
road wrecks were blamed on faulty
rails, which had been made from steel
ingots that had flaws. Steel ingots al
ways have a flaw at the top end; so
the end piece is discarded for this rea-
son.
The question always is as to the
length of the piece off the end which
should be discarded in order to make
sure that no flaws have been left in
the block of steel to be used. The re-
searchers are confident that the X-rays
will be able to answer this question.
In the experimental case a sheet OF
steel half an inch thick was photo
graphed by X-rays. The rays come in
different kinds-hard and soft-and
each kind has its own preference as to
what material 1t will go through. Ac-
cordingly rays were used that would
nearly go through half an inch of steel
but not quite.
The photographs of the steel sheet
showed that the X-rays did go through
at some spots, which indicated that
there were flaws at those places When
the steel was cut through at those
parts holes were found near the cen
ter-just as the X-rays had indicated.
