Business Women as Wives
BY LAURA JEAN LIsBEY.

USE ARABS TO FIGHT LOCUSTS
Soldiers Dig Trenches Into Which
Hatchlng Pests Were Driven
and Destroyed.

Djemal Pasha put some thousands
of Arab soldiers at my brothers dis
position, and these were set to work
digging trenches into which the hatch
ing locusts were driven and destroyed.
This is the only means Of coping with
the situation; once the locusts get
their wings, nothing can be done with
them. 1t was hopeless fight Nothing
short Of the cooperation Of every
farmer in the country could have won
the day; and while the people of the
progressive Jewish villages struggled
on to the end-men, women and chill
dren working in the fields until they
were exhausted-the Arab farmers sat
by with folded hands. The threats of
the military authorities only stirred
them to half-hearted efforts. Finally,
after two months of toll, the campaign
was given up and the locusts broke in
waves over the countryside, destroying
everything. AS the Prophet Joel said

There is no need of statistics from
economists to inform us that the cost
of living has advanced. Every spend
er of money knows 1t. Retailers are
more reluctant TO put prices up thgn
is generally realized. They know that
consumption decreases as prices ad-
vance. That means less business and
profits depend partly on large busi-
ness. When more than traffic will bear
is charged the traffic falls off.
Change making Is one of the items
in up-tO-date retailing. 1t must be
done quickly If expenses are TO be kept
down. The young woman at the lunch
room desk has not time to count pen
MES. She must deal In nickels, dimes
and quarters If she is to maintain her
astonishing speed and accuracy.
We need another coin. Three-cent
pieces were confused with dimes apd
we're hard to use, because they we're
not fractions of other currency. No one
but a statistician thinks in decimals.
The rest Of us do our sums in frac-
tiOns. Four three-cent pieces make
IL cents, but there Is no such CON-
Eight Of them make "a cents, but the
coin almost corresponding is worth one
cent more. If three-cent pieces were
again issued they would not nl tne

With a half nickel it would be dt-
ferent. Half a nickel is fraction OF
every coin from the mint. Were there
such coin, five-cent raises would not
have been so common. If there should
be such a coin, many prices woulu
come down.-Boston Globe.

Brody Commercial Center.
Only about two miles beyond the
Russian border, the Galician town Of
Brody is a point Of great strategic inn
portance on the eastern war front be-
cause it controls an important railway
line leading from Dubno, 80 miles to
the northeast, to Lemberg, which Is
only 62 miles to the southwest.
At the beginning of the world war
Brody was a thriving commercial CEN
ter with population approaching 2O,-
600, more than twO-thirds of whom
were Jews. Its prosperity was checked
to some extent about 40 years ago,
when, after having enjoyed the prlvi-
leges of free commercial city for
exactly 100 years, its charter was with
drawn.
Less than half century before
Brody was created town in the sew
enteenth century it was the scene OF
an important battle in which the, Poles,
commanded by their famous grand
hetman, Stanislaus POnieckpolski, de-
feated a Tartar army. This was the
last battle of PonieckpOlski's dis
tinguished career. For a quarter of a
century he was at war with Turks ana
Swedes, his initiation in military
science being somewhat disastrous, for
he was captured by the Turks in his
first important engagement and was
held in close confinement for three
years at COnstantinople. Upon his re-
lease in 1862 he was placed in com
mand of the Polish republics forces
and with force of 25,000 defeated 60,
600 Tartars at Martynow. His achieve
ments against the army of Gustavu:
AdOlphus were no less noteworthy thar
his long series of victories whereby h'
succeeded in keeping the Ukraine un
der Polish rule.
Brody twice suffered from dtsas
trous conflagrations during the nine
teenth century. The first, occurring
in 1901, destroyed 1900 houses, whil'
the fire of 1859 reduced 1000 homes
and business establishments to ashes
The upperlwaters of the Styr rive
form an irregular arc extending from
the southwest to the north Of Brody
being ten miles distant at its neares
point, toward the northwest. Fiv'
miles from the city, just beyond tn
border on the Dubno-Lemberg railway
Is the Russian town of Radziwilow
with population of about 5000.

late wilderness. The field is wasted /;
the land mourneth, for the corn is
wasted; the new wine is dried up, the
oil languisheth."
Not only was every green leaf de-
voured, but the very bark was peeled
from the trees, which stood out white
and lifeless, like skeletons. The fields
were striped to the ground, and the
old men of our villages, who had given
their lives to cultivating these gardens
and vineyards, came out Of the syna-
gogqes where they had been praying
and wailing and looked on the ruin
with dimmed eyes. Nothing was
spared. The insects, in their fierce
hunger, tried to engulf everything In
their way.-Alexander Aaronsohn, in

Irish Linen Sets.

Among the newest temptations
TO buy at the counter where the
table linens are sold are the
luncheon napkins made especial
ly to go with Irish linen lunch
con sets. Many a hostess has
been puzzled to know just what
form of napkin to use with the
Irish linen sets. Madeira nap
iins, though dainty, are hardly in
keeping, and the conventional
damask napkins are no, more so.
But now we find the solution in
the form of linen squares, edged
about by an Irish lace picot.
Many of them are simply this
and no more. Others are decOrat-
ed with an ornate monogram or
conventional design at one of the
corners. While these may be
bought at u shop for something
like So or 50 a dozen, they can
he very simply and easily made
at home; for the merest novice
can learn how to make a picot
Or Armenian edge; and that same
novice can quite simply roll 1t
on linen squares of correct lunch
napkin size.

Mother Was Safe

The minister had to leave home on
long preaching tour. Just before
leaving he called his family around
him to say good-by. Then he came
to Bobby and said:
"Old man, l want you to be a good
boy and take care of your mother"
Bobby promised. ALI day long he
looked preternaturally grave under the
heavy responsibility thus suddenly as
sumed. When night came and he was
called to his prayers the young guar
dian said:
"Oh, Lord, bless father, and brother
Tom, and sister Alice, and Aunt May,
and the little Jones boys and me, but
you needn't trouble about mother, for
l am going to look after her."

An Alaskan correspondent writes as
follows: The motor sled has come

will continue with US for many long
dav no doubt, but the Introduction OF
the new motor sleds during the past
winter amply demonstrated their econ
omy, utility and speed. AL GAVIN, a
Nome freighter, covered the distance
with u load of freight from Nome to
Solomon recently in less time on the
trail than the fastest dog team ever
made on that famous race course.

The Log Line.

The log line is one of the Older de-
vices for measuring the velocity of a
ship. The log is fiat is made so that
it will float perpendicularly. To this
a line is fastened, called the log line.
The approximate speed Of the ship can
be determined by letting the line run
off for, say, half a minute. The length
of the line run off in that time gives
basis for calculating the speed per
hour. The log, during the experiment,
remains stationary on the surface of
the water, of course. This Is the older
method. A modern method involves
the use of log with a revolving
mechanism which is dragged along In
the water behind the vessel.

A Horrible Accident.

A popular sportsman, being vastly
conceited about his fine figure, wore
corsets to show 1t off. One day he
was thrown from his horse and lay
prone on the road. A farm laborer
ran to render him assistance. The
first-aid man began to feel the fallen
one all over to see if any bones hap
pened to be broken, and suddenly
yelled out to another laborer:
"Run, Jack, for heavens sake, for
doctor. Here's a mans ribs runnin'
north and south, instead O. east and
west"

error he can point to a score Of almost
superhuman stops or catches.
Even in this game he made three
hits and scored two of DetrOit's runs,
so he was more than offsetting his de-
fensive slips by his contributions to
the attack. Considering the fact that
he was playing only on his nerve, he
didn't do so badly.
Another player who was abused un-
justly by the unreasonable element Of
the crowd was Mckee. "Red" had to
work harder than anybody else in the
game except the pitchers and the rival
backstop, and he was wrapped up in a
protector, mask and shin guards, which
are not exactly cooling garments.

WHEN STAR MAKES MISCUES
Detroit Baseball Writer Roasts Crowd
Which Rides Donie Bush When
Midget Has Bad Day.

Some members of the overheated
throng that attended a recent Sundays
ball game in Detroit, very few for
tunately, were guilty of a contempti-
BILE lack of sportsmanship in riding"
DOME Bush and "Red' Mckee because
these players did not have particularly
successful plays in the field, says De-
troit baseball writer.
It should be a source of shame to
Detroit fandOm to have among It's
number persons who would abuse Bush
for a couple of bad plays under the
conditions that prevailed at the park.
Between the heat and the baked con-
dition of the infield, the little short
stop was thoroughly up against it, and
it was due to bad luck and not lack
of trying that he didn't get every ball
hit In his direction. He was almost
overcome by the heat in the second in
ming and was advised to quit the game,
but stuck it out until the seventh.
No matter how badly DOME might
| play on any afternoon, he would not
merit the sort of stuff yelled at him by
some of the patrons. He is one of the
veterans of the club and with Cobb
and Crawford, has kept this city on
the baseball map. No player tries
harder than DOME and few men In the
big leagues can point to more continu.
GUS presence in the lineup than can the
midget. He has missed only handful

Causes of MaInutrition.

Nutrition and malnutritiOn are
among the most important subjects
with which a mother has to deal. A
growing child usually needs more food
than his parents. Some of the causes
of malnutrition are lack of the right
kind or sufficient food, lack of fresh
air and improper mastication. Tea,
coffee and beer prevent perfect diges-
ton, and often nasal distractions
which cause improper breathing will
also cause improper oxidation Of food
and the child will be undernOurished.

Power is sold to individuals on the

Organizations of the farmers have

the reclamation service in purchasing
the power required for the use of all
the members of each organization. 1t

ed by each group. One morning last
summer l drove out into the country
about miles from Rupert and stopped
to chat with q hOmesteader. His
house was a modest structure costing
probably not to exceed $3.50. The place
was well shaded with Carolina pOplars
and had a well-kept white clover lawn
in front.
Il observed a power line leading di-
rectly to the house and inquired about
it. The farmer said he was one Of the
directors in the Farmers Electric Co.
and used electricity for many pur-
poses. My curiosity was aroused, and
went into the house to investigate.
Il found every room lighted and
heated with electricity. In the kitchen
was a large electric range, the very
latest on the market, with four hot
plates, a large oven, and brOiler. Wa
