OF her pupils. She was surprised to find
herself giving intelligent answers to Mrs.

She resolutely kept her eyes turned

one single second did she lose conscious

Covertly she studied Grace Danley. who
was making her stately way about the
room. Something in her cold, self-satis-
fed elegance depressed Margaret with a
sense OF her own loneliness.
Still the music and hum OF voices

BEWARE OF YOUR WASH

Germs Regard 1t With Great
Favor and Often Congregate

BY KEMBLE
ccryrieht. 1918. N W. Kemhis.

II you saw a boa constructor coming In
your front door, you would probably get
a gun and kill IL. Yet you let the family
washrag hang unmolested in the bath
room although one is just as dangerous
as the other In fact. the rag is more
so. because its enmity is hidden under a
cloak of presumed innocence.
There still are some persons who re-
gard the washrag as a harmless friend,
although the little cloth which we have
always grasped with a friendly hand is
a spineless murderer.
If one desired to land a prize for col
lecting germs. they couldn't get anything
better than a washrag
Even though the bathroom glistens with
cleanliness, health experts say the wash
cloth will carry on its campaign of de-
structiOn unless carefully watched and
washed" If It, hangs near the towel,
the danger increases, for there is a ready
interchange of bacteria.
For instance, IL the cloths accidentally
touch, exchange tickets are thus issued
to the germs, and those who are tired
of the atmosphere and scenery of the
washrag can take a trip to every nook
and corner of the towel If It is dotted
with little soap spots here and there the
visiting germs are sure of a warm well
come. for they are bound TO meet another
bunch of suburban germs who wax fat
and happy on any kind of dormant soap.
AS even germs believe in reciprocity,
those of the towel who want to go slum-
ming can make the rounds of the evil
places on the wash rag. They will find
especial interest I'm the swamps and lit
tie stPgnant lakes which were left to
llnger by the last victim who forgot to
wiring the rag dry.
Most persons are in a hurry all the
time. At least they imagine they are,
even when they're not. So, who has
time to rinse a washrag and wiring it
out. ther douse it in hot water and 'let
It d:Y in the SUM-" But this is what you
have to do II you want to prevent a con-
vention of germs. Suppose there isn't any
sun to dry the rag in. You cannot COM
promise by throwing 1t over a radiator
or steam pipe. Washrag germ experts
claim that this kind of heat is what the
germs like. And you can't dry the rag
by allowing 1t to dry near an open win
dow. For, then, according to washrag
connolsseurs. the damp cloth catches up
the dust and this is a regular picnic
ground for a reunion of all the dissi-
pated germs in the vicinity

TRANSPORTATION
GREAT NEED
Of k0TS|NA

A. Amman, who has spent the past
thirteen years developing copper pro-
perties in the Kotsina district,
states that the mines in his district
are responding to development work
in a very satisfactory manner but are
greatly handicapped from lack of
transportation.
There are many properties in the
district which may have been develop
ed to a point where they would now
be producers if their ores could be
marketed. Among the men who spent
the summer in the district were. Pat
Murphy, Ed. Young, Tony Barrett, E.
A. Drake. Matt Larson. The Hub
bard-Elliott company employed a mum.
Der of men doing development work,
as also did the Alaska Consolidated
Copper Company on the Chitna side
of the range.
Mr.. Amman has several proper.
ties in the district and has driven
nearly one thousand feet of tunnel.
On Copper creek, tributary of the
Kotsina, he has a splendid showing
of bornite ore and further up the river,
on Roarink creek, he has opened a
large body of copper glance. The
ledge is 20 feet wide and is very high
grade.
Mr.. Amman and the other miners
believe that their section of the coun.
try is entitled to some attention from
the government in order to enable
the property owners to develop their
claims at a reasonable cost by secur.
ing cheaper freight rates. He states
that the average cost of running tun.
nels in the district is close to 500 per
foot. owing to the high cost of getting
supplies to the properties.

On Squirrel river, in the Kobuk
