CORN BREAD WAS A FAILURE
But Husband Tried to Be Discreet In
His Remarks, to the Discontinue
Of the Guest.

They were a newly-married couple.
The wife, though fair cook, did not
know how to make things his moth
or had prepared. And this vexed the
husband, although he was disposed to
be indulgent for the sake OF harmony.
But there was one point upon which he
sorrowed not little. His wife could
not make edible corn bread, and corn
bread was the food upon which he
was reared.
One day a girlhood friend Of the
wife visited her and, after assisting in
the preparation Of luncheon, accepted
an invitation to stay and eat 1t with
the newlyweds. The husband arrived
and the guest and he took their places
at the table while the wife went to the
kitchen to bring some forgotten dish.
Before his plate was the husbands
corn bread, but 1t was miserable fail
ure, sickly yellow, fiat and heavy. He
became confidential.
There Is one of the trials of hus-
band whose wife can't cook" he said
apologetically to the guest. Just have
a look at that corn bread. But you
mustn't let the wife know what said,
for 1t would hurt her feelings"
When the wife entered the room a
few moments later she noticed that a
deep blushssuffused the guests face.
why what is the matter, dear?''
she asked.
ITS nothing" the guest replied hur-
riedly.
An hour later, after the husband
had gone to the office the chorus OF
two laughing women's voices merrily
resounded through the household OF
the newlyweds.
But the wife has not yet told the
husband that her guest made the corn
bread on that day she stayed for
luncheon; in fact, asked the privilege
because she considered herself an
adept at making corn bread.

THE EDELWEISS
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Tommy Griswold was very unhappy.
For two years he had been in love
with Marion Chester and during that
time he had seen her drift farther and
farther from him. If he had spoken
to her during the first glamour of their
love perhaps-but he hadn't. After
ward things just drifted. Sometimes
they were tacitly engaged and some
times they were almost strangers.

rion. with her engaging frankness,
you're so ordinary. There's about as
much romance about you as about
"The average American man." said
Tommy, sarcastically. "All right, Ma
rion. perhaps some day I'll convince
you"
But then, again, Marion would say:

big brother to me and"
Some day." Tommy would ask, try

But that day seemed farther of all
the time. However, there was this
consolation: in a few months Tommy
would automatically be raised to fifty,

It was really to tell Marion about
that prospective fifty that he followed
her to Grundelwald that summer. He
could just make the trip on his vaca-

Marion considerably, but she did not

ALBUMEN Bye NEW METHOD
German Scientists, 1t Is Claimed, Have
Discovered Process That Means
Much to Future of Humanity.

German scientists have discovered
new method of producing albumen
which is likely to have far-reaching
results. It's immediate effect in Ger
many is to increase the consumption
OF sugar and to make it still more
valuable. The story of the discovery
is told In the Koelnische Zeitung of
Cologne, which says:
"As is known, there are plenty of
carbohydrates at hand in Germany,
derived from potatoes, sugar and food
beets. So far, however, foodstuffs
rich in albumen, such as barley, we
have had to import Now the Insti-
tute for Observation-Disclosures at
Berlin, has succeeded in inventing q
process by which feeding yeast, with
more than so per cent albumen, is
produced from sulphate of ammonia
and sugar.
THE new process is very simple
and existing yeast factories can start
Immediately the manufacture of the
new article without changing their
installation.
BY the new process 100 pounds of
sugar and So pounds OF sulphate of
ammonia yield 27O pounds of dry feed
ing-yeast, containing so per cent al
bumen. Being in the position to
produce ammonia from the nitrogen
of the air, we may say in the future
albumen will be made artifcialIy
from the air.
Germany imports annually about
100000 tons of feeding stuffs, prin-
cipally barley for cattle. This amount
of provender contains about 10 per
cent, or 100000 tons, of albumen. Ac-
cordingly, concludes the Scientific
American, it would require about
100000 tons of sugar to replace by
the new process the forage which can
not be imported at present.

MAN IN THE SEARCHED BOSOM
Writer cIeveriy Points Out How APP
pearances May Be, as They Usu-
ally Are, Deceptive.

By man" one probably means q
fallible mortal. buffer, a hypo-
critic, an insecure and inexperienced
adventurer, a child born naked into
the world every morning Of his life.
Reunited to ones institution, ones
infallibility speedily returns, and it
Is convenient to have it. But it does
disguise the limitations that person
knows within himself. At the begin
ming of a mans life, before he Is taken
up into an institution, he is aware of
all this. But after he dons a uniform
of authority the luxury of candor is
denied. Conformity is perhaps needed
for a smoothly-running world, and by
striving to articulate the machinery an
approximation to candor may be made.
1t may even be better to have the ma,
chinery in the end, better for truth,
than to allow the impuIsive will its
way. But there are times when one
would like everyone, especially the
young, to know the immense decep-
lions Of the whole elaborate contriv-
ance. Under the starched bosom of
the world there is heart very diff
ferent from the heart that the bosom
advertises. We know it, but the man
who speaks it is a traiter to the prin-
cipalities of starch. EXCHANGE

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS
Manner In Which Shadows Fall VIII
Show to the Initiated Where
the Sun ls.

Few persons become lost in the
woods when the sun is shining; but on
cloudy day or in a snowstorm it is
easy to go astray, the Youths Com
panion states. A familiar piece OF
woodland will look strange when the
trees are overloaded with snow and
their branches hang close to the
ground.
It often happens that you find your.
self in the woods without a compass.
To meet such an emergency, those
versed in woodcraft offer many rules
and suggestions, but their advice is
not always to be depended upon. A
sign that is correct in one part of the
country is often misleading in another
All signs depend upon one of two
things-the sun or the wind. Winds
are likely to follow up or down water.
courses or along the valleys. There
fore they vary in different localities.
Likewise, in billy country the sunlight
does not fall evenly upon the trees and
plants, and often leaves misleading
signs.
Since you will probably have fairly
accurate idea as to what hour of the
day it is, you can easily lay out your
course for home or camp If you can
find the position of the sun.
Find a place where the light is
even, that is, not in the shadow Of a
large tree. Then place pin or a
sharp stick, point down, upon your
thumbnail, or other polished object.
A dim shadow will fall away from
the sun. At any time before sunset
the pointed end Of the shadow will
show where the sun is, no matter how
heavily clouded over it may be, or
how thickly the snow may be falling.
This method Of laying course has
led many man to camp many times,
when all other signs had failed When
you are lost, it rs important not to get
excited. As long as you keep cool
you are not very badly lost.

THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN
By GEORGE MUNsoN.

Nurse, believe l am the patient
for Room II
There was an immediate pause in
all the activities of the ward as the
little man who had spoken these
words stood at the door and looked
smilingly toward Miss Rensham, the
night superintendent.
He had the most charming and the
most intellectual face that Miss Rem.
sham had ever seen. He was about
eight and twenty years of age. The
forehead betokened thoughtfulness,
the head was fine in the best sense OF
the word. But the stature was only
five feet, and the body was misshapen.
The doctors had told the nurses OF
the forthcoming operation. 1t was the
most romantic thing that had ever
happened in the hospital. When the
little gentleman was safely in bed the
night superintendent talked with his
special nurse, Miss Ray.
1T wrings my heart" she said. "Pd
like to SEQ, I'd just like to see the
woman who's going to let him suffer
like that for her"
But she doesn't know" answered
Miss Ray.
"Of course she knows. He's trying
to hide 1t, to shield her. She must be
worthless woman. Why. he is q
dear-just little dear!"
Miss Rensham dabbed at her ewes
with her handkerchief. Miss Ray
shifted and blinked. Both women felt
touched at the thought of the little
cripple who was to be made straight

world, In order that he might feel

Earliest Coal MINING In Alabama.

The earliest known record of the
existence Of coal in Alabama was
made in 1884, but the first statement
Of production In the state is contained
in the United States census report
for 1910, In which the amount mined is
given as GAG tons. The mines of Ala
bama were probably worked to con-
siderable extent during the Civil war,
but there are no specific records until
1870, for which the United States GEN.
sus reports a production Of 1000
tons. The development of the present
great industry really began in 1881
and 1882 when attention was directed
to the large iron deposits near the city
Of Birmingham. By 1885 the coal pro-
duction of the state had increased to
nearly 100000 tons. In 1914, accord
ing to the United States Geological
survey. the production was 1855, 422
tons. ~
