Wronu Conception,

1t is indeed amusing the wrong con.
ception foreigners have of the dis
tances of principal cities in this coun-
try from the metropolis. The other
day a rich Spaniard arrived at a New
York hotel from Barcelona. After
duly registering he phoned some wom-
an relatives, making a dinner engage
ment for Z p. m. at the hotel. Then
he disappeared. The women waited
three hours, but no o appeared.
They went home greatly alarmed and
reappeared early next day and re-
manned at the hotel all day, every
few minutes making anxious inquiries
for the missing Spaniard. About five
o'clock in the afternoon, just as the
women were about ready to notify the
police, their relative strobe in, Gov
cred with dust. With cries of JOY
they ran toward him, and all asked
where he had been. "Why,' he said,
81 got into a car and told the chauf-
feur to drive me to Boston, which, 1
thought, was only a suburb Of New
York. But after three hours ride I
found out differently and sent a tele-
gram to you at the hotel" OF course,
the women never got it because they
were not registered. Whereupon the
don, panied beyond expression, be-
gan to buy wine for them all in an
effort to square himself.

Gamer and Commissariat.

The unique position Of the United
States as regards foodstuffs has just
been emphasized at a Gamers con
vention, in Chicago. Famine is i'm
possible in this country, and more
than that, at no season of the year
are it's inhabitants cut off from all
the good things nature provides for
mans su]stenance. A wonderful range
Of climate makes it possible to have
the year around green vegetables and
fruits grown in the open, and at prices
In reach of the humblest pocketbOok.
This is supplemented by the art Of
the Gamer, who successfully preserves
the summers surplus bounty against
the cold, gray days Of winter n robs
thai season of any terror it might ever
have held, so far as food is concerned.
1t is not alone famine that is avoid
ed, but certain diseases once preva-
lent, due to malnutrition incident to
a lack of proper food, have vanished
from the United States. In this way
the processes of preserving foods have
also beer useful in the matter Of
preservation of health.

There is such an air of subdued ele-
gance and concentrated luxury about
the layout that you want to rush to
a telephone, call up your office and tell
them there that you're never going to
work again as long as you live.
The elevator doors swing open dis
closing a picture post card of a Turk
ish seraglio-whatever that is. Then
a West Indian chauffeur, all dolled
like Sir Walter Raleigh on his way to
see Queen Elizabeth, gives you the
high sign and shoots Heavenward
while you sink to your waist in the
Persian rug on the floor of the gilded
cage.
Helps parade grounds are On the
Twelfth floor. His apartment consists
Of eleven rooms and nine baths
Through an oversight the dining room
and the buffers pantry have no bath
attached, but Hep says that defect will
be remedied If he has to drop another
$4,000 a year into the Kitty.
The Party was in full blast when
we reached the scene of the Conflagra-
ton.
A string orchestra concealed behind
a lot of aristocratic rubber plants scat
tered enough rag-time for everybody
to dip in and help themselves, so up and
down through Helps library into the
drawing-room, through the living-room,
across the hall, and through the card
room. around the foyer, back through
the sitting room, down the hall again
and back into the drawing-room the
various couples pranced and galloped
and wriggled and squirmed and joshed
zach other into the belief that this was
Life.
Hen met us at the door of the Fun
Factory and introduced us to all the
celebrities present, with the exception
of those who were busy stepping on
each others feet in the joyous dance.
Peaches and I sat down to watch the
mad revels, but as we did so a music
hoy concealed in our little ~tete-a-tete
sofa began to play Smokey Ookums,"
az we arose hurriedly and decided to
stand during the rest of the carnival.
When we hurried1y arose to the oc-

Scold mel deserve it, Paw!
You wouldn't think it, but here in
New York the Pet of Fortune who
makes it his life's work to Burn Money
IS sometimes hard put for an excuse to
Light the Match.
When a Paloofa with nothing in his
attic but shredded wheat falls heir to
a hatful of Mazuma he quickly realizes
that the money has to be ignited-but
how to do it!
The awning that hangs between his
pompadour and his eyebrows becomes
Care-furrowed from trying to figure
out just how to set fire to the coin
Dad left him without attracting the
attention Of the police.
The Poor Thing soon discovers that
it's awfully hard to invent a new
style in Financial Bonfires, so he falls
back On the hint-and-steel method Of
~ignitinn-and Gives a Party.
He knows that his bundle Of green
and yellow pathfinders will burn with
a brighter flame if he can induce a lot
Of Night Riders to tarry by his hearth
stone during the ceremony.
And JOY in abundance Is his when
they begin to kick the ashes around
his $4,000 apartment with their slip
pered feet.
Having heard Peaches breathe a de-
sire to be Among Those Present at a
Turkey Toddle, our friend Hep Hardy
got busy with his favorite paying
teller and gave one.
l tried to explain to friend wife
that she'd find herself in a blush-pro-
ducing atmosphere where she'd hear
them discussing White Slave dramas,
hot from the Grand Jury room, but she
merely stung me with a dimpled smile
and said, flush; come on; let's tease
a taxi!"
Hep lives in one of those expensive
Shacks where the entrance is made up
to look like the room Louis the Fiji
teenth used to get shaved in.
When you step in the front door you
think you've suddenly arrived at a
forced sale of art objects and bric-a-
Orac.

Saving Lives.

The fight to save human lives in
America has been eminently success
full during the last few years and the
loss from preventable diseases has
been materially reduced. Perhaps the
greatest improvement has been in ty-
phoid fever, where sanitation and
medical treatment have worked to-
gether to good effect. In the field of
tuberculosis a great deal has been
accomplished, although not as much as
was originally hoped for In this dis
ease it is largely a ase of money-to
get enough to give the victims of "the
white plague" the treatment they need.

sic box was intensely ludicrous. Now
that my laughter has subsidized would
you mind doing it over again that |
may study the situation from a psyche
logical point OF view"
What are o going to do with a
fried smelt like that?
l wanted to coax him into one of the
bath rooms and turn the shower on
him, but Peaches begged me not to
dampen his youthful ardor, so l told
him what particular ingredient of a
cheese sandwich he resembled and
passed him up.
George is fearfully erudite. With
his thumb and forefinger ne picks big
words out of his bullying forehead and
assemblies them into neat little para
graphs. These he carries on a tray
to a magazine where kind-hearted men
pay him money and beg him not to
come back until he has spent it all.
George was getting along very nice
ly until one day somebody told him he
was clever-then he fell apart.
Now he makes up his pieces in front
of a mirror and when he thinks OF
something devilishly cute he and his
reflection exchange loving glances.
Then he pins a medal on his breast
| and quits work for the day.
Somebody should take off Georges
watch and slap his wrist real hard.
In the meantime the war dance Of
the Manhattan Indians went bravely
on. 1t was catch-as-catch-can all over
the place.
They swayed and toddled and
| wobbled and bobbled, each and all of
them trying hard to conceal the fact
that they were human beings.
They danced the Lame Duck and
Simpering Cinnamon Bear; the Lin
| gering Drag and the Jack Rabbit
Jump; the Boston Antelope, and the
Philadelphia Scramble. Every once In
a while they'd stop, take a long breath
and then off again into the Buzzard
Bend and Walrus Wiggle.
Each individual tried to act as a
| special agent for the Zoo?
"How do you like it," I asked
Peaches.
Its awful" she gasped. Look at
that girl over there. Why does she
try to act like a penknife?'
Come out of the hardware store"

Chinese and Japanese do not speak
the same language, nor can they be
said to have the same religion. Con-
,ucianism is the prevailing faith of
China, while Buddhism is the chief re-
fgion Of Japan. Geometry probably
had it's rise in Egypt, though it was
perfected by the Greeks.

A boom in rags is the latest evil
dence of wartime activity. They are
wanted for the textile trade, and, as
continental supplies have fallen off,
old home stocks are fetching high
prices. At Dewsbury, Eng, and other
textile centers the rag sales have been
marked by exciting scenes. Prices
have advanced by $50 a ton, and by
s35 and $40 for the better sorts.
