- r YOU visit Hongkong or Canton
or Shanghai you will find thou
sands of people who spend their
1 lives from first to last on water.
Both in Hongkong and Canton a
population equal to that of consider
able town lives on little boats called
sampans, and never by any chance do
these water jewellers set foot on land
If they can avoid 1t, the Hongkong
correspondent of the Dundee Courier
writes.
Nor can they get back quickly
enough to their native element if bust
ness should call them from it for a
little time. They are unhappy on land;
one can read 1t alike in their carriage
and their faces. Even the tiniest of
children dislike dry land. But see
them aboard a rocking cockleshell of
boat, and, II you are tender hearted,
you have heart tremors the first time
or two. They are able to do little
more than walk, yet they balance
perilously on the narrow side of the
boat and perform feats that would
turn white mothers hair gray in a
day.
But these Chinese mothers do not
turn gray; they do not even look at
their offspring. For one reason, they
are too busy; for another, there is not
the faintest need for them to worry.
What is bred in the bone comes out
even in the flesh of a sampan-born
youngster, and ability to get about a
rocking boat at the age of fifteen
months or so is bred in the bone of
these babies.
Girl Babies of Little Account.
Besides, babies (girl babies at least)
are of very little account. If one of
them should fall overheard she may
be pulled out again before she is
drowned, and if she is not caught up
quickly enough the loss is not greatly
serious from their point of view. You
may regard this as exaggerated. but
it is oyerstated no whit The writer
remembers successive days-when he
was new to the far East and took
notice of such things-seeing first a
girl baby and then hen fall into the
water.
The mishap to the baby caused no
excitement whatever, but in the case
of the hen there arose a mighty
screeching. The mother and grand

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition, the less soap
you use the butter.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily. and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and exees-
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
10 manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil st most any drug store. II is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough 10 last everyone in the
family for months.

IN PROJECTILE SUIT
Given Right, on Appeal, to
Manufacture Shells for
the Allies

An important decision in favor Of
the Bethlehem Steel Company. which
may affect many large concerns IN
this country engaged in the manufac-
ture of war munitions for the armies
OF Europe, was handed down yester-
dal by Judge Victor b Woolley in
the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals. The Judge reverses the de-
cision Of Judge Dickinson. of the
lower court. filed in September last.
which held that the Bethlehem Steel
Company had infringed upon a patent
issued 90 Cleland Davis In January,
1910. now owned by the Firth-Ster-
ling Steel Company. for an armor-
piercing proiectile.
Under the lower courts ruling the
Bethlehem Steel Company was re-
strained from manufacturing the par
ticular type of proiectile In dispute.
and a master was appointed 10 deter
mine the amount OF damages sus-
tanned by the Firth-Sterlng Company

decision did not affect this contract
and ordered the defendant company

ing the shells. The present decision

right to make the type of projectiles

Davis does not claim to have in
vented the separate elements that
produce or contribute to lengthening

tion of elements. already old In the
art, In one structure.
II was contended by the Bethle-
hem Steel Company that there existed

not only the elements employed by
Davis in his combination, but certain
combinations of those elements which
are the same as that for which Davis
claims the invention. and that to en-
ploy such elements in combina
tion is not infringing on Davis
patent. This contention the Appellate
Court holds to be properly founded.

HIS FARM IN HEART
OF THE TOWN

pU POINT CITY. Va, June 23-G. H.
Buren,, an old farmer of this place,
suddenly found himself last week
with a bankroll Of $4,000, an addi-
tional income OF more than $500
month, besides 80 acres of level land
in the heart of town of 1900 peo-
pie.
For 81 years Buren, had eked out
living on a farm of ia acres near
City Point, Va. He was there at the
time of the Civil War, and as a boy
he received a stray bullet from the
Federals
the big DUPONT powder plant To-
Gated a quarter of mile from his
farm benefited him, as two of the
Buren boys went to work in the con-
struction department at IS a day.
The giant units gradually went up
and the army of men at work was in
creased. A month ago a stranger
dropped in at the Buren farm and ask
ed its price. Buren said he wanted
to keep his house and a few acres Of
land, but would sell 30 acres. A bar
gain was Immediately closed at s11O
an acre.
Two days later another stranger
dropped in, seeking more land He
tempted Buren, with an offer Of 5000
an acre for so acres of the tract, and
this bargain also was closed. Today
this tract is selling lot subdivisions at
the rate of from $4,000 to $4,000 an
acre. Streets, sidewalks and sewers
are being put up and a modern city
Is springing up.
Around Buren's home other land
owners sold tracts. These were laid
out in city divisions, and within the
last week more than $4,000 has
changed hands in realty sales. Buren's
30 acres with the farmhouse in the
centre. now stands in the heart of
the city building activity.
Last Wednesday he was offered ST.
600 an acre spot cash for the 80
acres. The offer did not move him.
The next day the offer was increased
TO $500 an acre but Buren, clung
to his land.

man. IF the land is good enough
