Big Increase Sought.

With the. State Board of Administra-
ton demanding additional millions to
make adequate provision for the care
Of the states delinquent and depend
ent wards prospects for the reduced
cost of state government were de-
stroyed. The State Industrial Com
mission still further dissipated the.
hope of smaller budget when it de-
manded s173,339.06 more than it had
last year for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1917. This increase is held to
be absolutely necessary in order for
the commission to properly discharge
its obligations as director of the work
mems compensation system and other
departments. The total amount asked
for is $733,829.90, which makes it the
most expensive state department next
to the State Board of Administration.
The increases in cost sought for the
various divisions under the Industrial
Commission were set forth in detail
and are: Executive department, $685.
249.S6; workmen's compensations,
$96,780.20; workshops and factories;
$9,592; mine department, s2O,340;
boiler inspection, $500; Film Censor
Board, $3,628 There are decreases In
the proposed expenditures as follows:
Statistical department, $1O,755; engi-
neer's department, $486.

The LACQUER Crou.

1t is popular notion that the val
liable varnishes known as lacquers are
vegetable products that exude from
various :rees of India and the East
when their twigs are punctured by n
cochineal insect.
One Lind of gum is, however, actual
ly produced by the insect itself. The
minute larvae begin to secrete the gum
as soon as they puncture the tender
bark and begin to suck the plant juices.
In favorable circumstances the red Sc
cretion gradually envelops the larva in
a hard lump, which protects it from
attack. Frequently, however, the
larvae are so crowded that a mass of
gum is formed, and then the unpro-
tected larvae gradually die of starva-
ton or exposure.
Experiments have shown that if the
larvae were transferred at the proper
season to punches of straw fastened to
twigs in favorable situations, the
larvae would migrate to the tender
branches under the best conditions
The discovery has greatly increased
the production of lacquer in India.

AIRSHlPS NOW USE WIRELESS
Heretofore Messages Could Not Be Re-
ceiVed on Account of Noise
Difficulty Overcome.

Upon his return to London from
Italy, Guglielmo Marconi, in an inter-
view with British journalists, gave the
following information: "New develop
ments will not only make wireless
communication in this war more eff
cient than ever before, but will make 1t
more difficult for the enemy to inter-
cept messages. These improvements
will apply to instruments in aeroplanes
and airships. Hitherto aeroplanes have
been at a disadvantage with airships
In wireless work, for although they
were able to transmit messages, they
have not been able to receive them.
This was because the receiving signal
was too faint to be distinguished, be-
ing drowned by the noise Of the aero
plane engine. Now we have been able
to strengthen the receiving signal sHfi-
ciently to enable messages to be
taken"

Uncertain Humanity,

together and he retained the wit to

A little more than halfway between
their starting point and the head of the
bay, the leading boat swung sharply in
toward the shore, then shot into the
mouth of narrow indentation. For
two or three minutes he could see moth

from a tortuous and CONSTRUCTED chan

and a railroad trestle. At the farther
end of this tidegate canal connecting
the Great West bay with the Great

visible, heading out at full speed, the
half-mile lead fully re-established.

On the narrow beach, near the dock,
a small flat-bottomed rowboat lay, its
stern aflOat, it's bows aground-as it
had been left by the women surprised
in the act Of launching it. Jumping
down, Whitaker put his shoulder to the

As he did so, the other woman

The blades dipped; he bent his back

A glance over his shoulder showed

tent force it had not before developed.
A haze, vaguely opalescent, encircled
the horizon like a ghost of absinthe.
By four-thirty, when the twilight was
moderately bright, Whitaker was bare
ly able to distinguish the leading boat.
The two seemed as if suspended, strug-
Cling like impaled insects, the one in
the midst, the other near the edge, of
watery pit walled in by vapors.
The end came just before dawn,
with q swiftness that stunned the fac
ulties-as though one saw the naked
wrath of God leap like lightning from
the sky.
They were precisely as they had
heen, within a certain distance of one
another, toiling on and ever on like
strange misshapen spirits doomed to
run an endless race. The harsh, shape
less light Of imminent day alone manu-
factured color of difference: Whit
aker now was able to see as two dark
shapes the men in the body of the lead
ing boat. Now suddenly the man at
the wheel cried out something in a ter
rible voice of fright, so high and 7ehe-
ment that it even carried back against
the booming gale for Whitaker to hear.
Simultaneously he put the wheel over,
with all his might. The other jumped
from his seat, only to be thrown back
as the little vessel swung broadside to
the sea, heeling until she lay almost on
her beam ends. The next instant she
/
| ceased, incredibly, to move-hung mo-
tionless in that resistless surge, an
amazing, stupefying spectacle. 1t
seemed minutes before Whitaker could
/ force his wits to comprehend that she
had struck and lay transfxed upon
some submerged rock or reef.
A long, gray roller swept upon and
over her, brimming her cockpit with
foaming water. AS it passed he saw
the half-drowned men release the
coamings, to which they had clung on
involuntary impulse to escape being
swept away, scramble upon the cabin
roof, and with one accord abandon
themselves to the will of the next wave
to follow. AS it broke over the boat
and passed, he caught an instantaneou:
glimpse of their heads and arms bob
bing and beating frantically as they
whirled off through the yeasty welter
But he saw this without pity or com
passion. If he had been able to havt
his will with them, he would have sunl
both ten fathoms deep without an in
stants respite. His throat was chozeC
with curses that welled up from ;
heart wrenched and raging at this dis
covery of cowardice unparalleled.
They had done what they could fo
themselves without even hesitating t,
release the woman imprisoned in tn
cabin.

is for new hospital ward for the main
institution; $4,000 for fire protection,
and $4,000 for 13 more acres of land.
The balance is for kitchen and dining
room, and for slaughter house for the
Shaker farm; for 1918, $106,0OO is ask

purses cannot open to them. For such
basket of strange foods with note
of instruction as to what it contains
and how it is to be prepared, the re-
cipients would thank them most
gratefully. How many people in the
North ever saw chayote or dash
cen, yet these are quite as common
in the South as cauliflower in the
North. Those who are sick of the sight
of fish, might delight an inland cousin
with, a basket of the fish so highly
priced because not near at hand.
Where wild game abounds and the
laws do not prohibit sending it, such
gift is a choice present. If you live
near the woods where pine abounds
with its beautiful cones, a gunny sack
of them for your friend to use in his
fireplace for Christmas eve would
surely be appreciated. A bunch of
herbs, or lavender for the linen closet,
a pillow of hops for the wakeful
friend. a basket of popcorn balls or
a few vegetables, well washed and ar
ranged in a basket, for the friend with
small family, this may be so filed
that it will be as attractive as a bas-
ket of flowers.
If you ever tried to buy a spruce
tree in the city you may appreciate
what the gift of small one for her
dinner table would mean to your city
cousin. Five-cent baskets filled with
ferns, alder berries and other bits Of
la ENn
given for a centerpiece for her living
room table for your city friend. Rose
| hips, partridge berries, wintergreen
berries and others may be strung to
decorate the Christmas tree. Do you
have honey, or make maple sirup,
canned fruit and jellies, make fruit
| cakes, cookies or country doughnuts,
be sure any of these will be hailed
with joy by the friends in town.
