Tho Autoist's Lesson.

and truly believe 1 am one OF the
most careful drivers in town. And
thereby hangs tale.
When 1 first purchased machine
and began to operate it there crept
gradually into my manipulation of
the wheel that degree of careless
lessness which seemingly comes to all
autoists with growing familiarity.
Within two weeks I had narrowly
missed half dozen pedestrians who
neglected to get out of my way with
what I considered sufficient nimble-
ness. I didn't worry myself much
about such incidents, either. / ap-
peared to be imbued with the firm
conviction that pedestrians were
necessary evils and not entitled 20

ARE GOING
OUT OF STYLE
Bone 1arometers no Longer Counted
Upon-Were Frauds
Anyway.

It is a fortunate thing that bone
barometers are going out of style. The
people who always felt everything in
their bones were forever feeling many
things that nobody wanted them to
feel. 1t never rained on q holiday,
the washerwoman never failed to
come, the bugs never ate the roses,
company never appeared unexpected
ly. nothing unpleasant ever happened
without the person who had bones de-
claring that she had felt 1t In her
bones. II the bone barometers could
have been trained to predict sunshine
and good crops they would have been
very good things to have and would
never have gone out of style, but a
bone barometer was always falling.
And at last it has fallen almost out
of sight.
OF course, bone barometers were
frauds anyway. They never predicted
anything except in the vaguest man
ner until after it had happened and
nobody cared what they had to say
about it then or at least II anybody
did care. It was too late to do any
thing but care. Grandmothers, as
pleasant and useful as they were in
other ways, we're often the most de-
termined of bone barometers. Any
body who remembers a day when
there was going to be a picnic and 1t
rained, will remember that grand
mother said that she had told you so,
although, as matter Of fact. she ha1
been busy making cookies and frying
chicken the whole day before with
never a word about rain. It was q
source of wonder and interest that
grandmother should have known that
there was going to be cyclone or a
flood or an earthquake in some far-off
locality, but the fact that she knew 1t
was going to rain and spoil the picnic
and never said word about it until
afterward, was enough to make one
lose faith in the prophecies of her
bones, and may account for the fact
that they are going out Of style just
as grandmothers are in SO many other
ways.
OF course, it was not always grand.
mothers. There were many bone ba-
rcmeters among the loafers that used
to sit round the stove in the village
grocery store or over the register in
the city corner drug store And the
things they felt in their bones were
enough to make the world rheumatic,
with all the scandals, the misfortunes,
the wars and the crop failures. 1t is
mot, you see, so much the things
themselves that matter as it is the
way We feel about them, and there is
no sense at all in feeling things in
your bones before they happen and
then feeling them other places after
they happen.

MUSSEL MAY
RIVAL OYSTER
Marine Food Used Extensively In
Europe, 10 Neglected az Article
Of Food Here.

A noteworthy case of neglect, fol
lowed by appreciation and utilization,
is that OF the sea mussel, one Of the
best and most abundant Of marine
foods. Hundreds of millions OF
pounds are eaten annually in western
Europe, but in the United States
practically the only use made of them
has been for fertilizer and bait.
In 1914 an advantageous opportun-
ity was presented for introducing
this mollusk in one Of the leading
Boston hotels and through the assist
ance Of the newspapers the expert
ment attracted 50 much attention that
within a few months mussels were,
for the first time, being served and
given a conspicuous place on the
menus of more than seventy Of the
principal hotels, clubs and restaurants
of Boston.
The demand naturally spread to
private houses and to adjacent com
munities, with the result that the mus
sci has become regular commodity
of the region, to the benefit Of the
consumer, dealer and fisherman; and
the knowledge Of the food value of
the mussel has gradually extended to
other cities, and its regular consump-
ton over a wide area, both adjacent
to and remote from the seaboard, Is
assured
That very extensive mussel fish
ery will be developed on our Atlantic
and Pacific coasts is inevitable. Mus
sells occur in vast beds as yet un-
touched and easily reached by tongs
and dredges. They are as nutritious
as oysters and clans, and their shells
being thinner, given quantity con-
tains more actual food than does the
same bulk of oysters.
A further advantage is that they
are in season at all times and are at
their best on the New England and
middle Atlantic coasts, where the
oysters supplied in the markets are
mostly reduced; namely, in summer.

Camp.

Iowa's soldiers modified at Camp
Dodge and their life there during the
month of June and early July when
called out for duty on the Mexican
border, are to be preserved for his
tory in motion pictures. The state
historical department has completed
the negatives and only the work of
rearranging the scenes to form a con-
secutive and connected panorama and
of writing the titles remains to be
done
The films are to be shown at the
state fair and after that they will be
booked with the motion picture
houses over the state and the profits
will go to the Iowa troops down on
the border. The negatives have been
deposited as permanent record in
the archives of the state OF Iowa to
take their place with the manuscripts
and other documentary materials of
like character which pass into the per-
archives Of the state
Fifteen days were spent by the
