METAL COLORS RARELY SEEN
Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Ref7ected-copper 10 Really
Salmon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things We sci.
dom see Is the color Of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish SO rapidly that our only means
to get even passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping of
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption of light waves
Of different lengths. For instance, II
a metal absorbs every light wave ex.
cept that of the length which pro-
duces the optical sensation yellow,
then its color is yellow, for what it
cannot absorb it reflects. Gold is
such a metal. On the other hand,
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that it becomes translucent, 1t trans
mits not yellow light rays. but those
which it formerly absorbed, namely,
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example of q large
class Of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive, and are
therefore approximately Of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed. From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some of these are
aluminium, magnesium. nickel, sodium,
tin, iron and anthony.
Others, like lead, cadmium and
zinc, have something of this silver
luster, but with slight blush tinge.
The gray metals. such as manganese
and cobalt, probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts. Bis
muth is of peculiar light red and
potassium has pinkish tinge. Cop.
per, strange to say, is not copper
colored," but is usually described as
salmon-pink.

CIothierS' Troubles.

The manufacturing clothiers are
having more than their usual trouble
in the operations that have started for
next fall. Owing to the piece goods
shortage and the scarcity Of dyes,
styles have to be switched about in
a bewildering manner. Statesmen have
got to the point where they are
almost afraid to take a fairly large
order. owing to the possibility of no
goods being on hand to fill it. Though
there were fewer style numbers put
out than customary when the season
started, even the restricted lines have
had to be cut down still further. A
ray Of light is seen in the situation
that exists in the woman's-wear trade.
The man's-wear trade expects that
with operations tied up in that branch,
the mills will be able to supply the
clothiers with a greater quantity and
assortment of piece goods.-New York
Times.

tured here. The skirt is plain and
moderately full at the hem, with little
fullness at the top, and the coat could
hardly be more simple. Any of the
standard fashion companies have pa
per patterns very like these garments.
Buttons. important items in the fin
ish Of sports coats, are well managed
in the suit illustrated. They are a
larger size than is ordinarily used and
are made of a dark composition. They
are set on simulated buttonholes made
of fiat folds of plain ratine, and only
the one on the belt is of practical use
as a fastening. Snap fasteners do the
actual work of holding the coat fronts
together, and the opening is a little to
the left of the center.
White canvas shoes or regular ten
mis- shoes are to be chosen with some
reference to the suit and the hat worn
with it. Among the most handsome of
sports hats are those of ratine trimmed
with fruits or conventional figures of
the same fabric painted with vivid
colors.

HOW TO RELIEVE DYSPEPSIA
Don't everest, Keep Away From the
Food That Disagrees With You
and Heed Your Doctor.

Simple dyspepsia is that form of in
digestion that Is not caused by any
lesion or malformation of the stomach
or other digestive organs. People differ
widely in the strength of their diges-
tive apparatus, but most adults know
something of the symptoms Of simple
dyspepsia. In fact, most people ex-
pect, and bear with resignation, an &C.
casional attack of Indigestion. 1t is
when the attacks come too often and
stay TOO long-when the sufferer be-
comes a dyspeptic-that he seeks re-
lief.
In a case where the usual home rem
edies for impaired digestion are no
longer efficacious and the continual at
tacks begin to affect the general
health, it is necessary to go to good
doctor and ask him to find the under
lying cause OF the trouble. There are
many reasons for the failure Of the d.
gestive powers that lie quite beyond
the scope Of amateur diagnosis, with
its dangerous accompaniment-am
teur dosing; although there are, Of
course, many other reasons that any
intelligent person can search out for
himself.
Too many people become chronic
dyspeptics because they will not learn
to masticate properly. to refrain from
hearty meals when they are tired. or
to deny themselves articles of food
that experience has shown to be indi-
gestible. That form of dyspepsia is
not in itself hard to cure, but those
who suffer from it are often very diff
cult to handle. They are likely to have
their pet remedy-a soda tablet. or
what not-which often does good serv.
ice for years, but Is bound to fail in
the end. Then nothing can be done
for them unless they learn self-control.
Sometimes-indeed often-the trou-
BILE is with the teeth, which have been
neglected until they cannot properly
chew the food. People who are wor-
ried and overdriven are almost sure to
have weak digestions. That form of
dyspepsia yields quickly to a good rest
and tonic treatment. II that cannot be
had, try a brief rest just after eating.
That is a wise economy for even the
busiest people. Abdominal massage is
good for toning up the muscles of the
stomach. As for diet and medicine,
the doctor in charge is the best Judge,
for no two cases are exactly alike.

DADDY'S EVENING

CALL ON SHY DRAGON.
BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER

"An old Dragon lived Alone" said
Daddy, near the woods where the
Brownies and Gnomes spent all their
time"
"Oh, dear me-" said Nancy. Il will
be afraid Of the woods, Daddy"
SILLY, indeed" said Nick. why.
we would never see the Dragon, I'm
sure. Think of all the times we go
to the woods-we never have seen
sign of one"
Well" said Daddy, there is moth
ing to be frightened of when you go
In the woods. For the Dragon who
lives there is very, very shy. He
even thinks that is queer himself.
1T was long, long time before the
Brownies and the Gnomes became
friendly with him. They had to coax
and coax him to come to their party
one afternoon, but when he had de-
cided to go he was so pleased that
he said he would give one, too. l
shall tell you how It happened:
"One day a little Gnome suggested
to the rest of the Gnomes and the
Brownies that they pay a call upon
old Dragon. They all thought it
fine scheme, and of they went, all to-
gether. They arrived at the cave in
the woods where the old Dragon lived.
and the little Gnome who had started
them on knocked on the cave with
a piece of rock.
Come in, come in,' said a voice
that sounded like low roar. 1t
was rather q shaky roar, too.
And in trooped all the little
Gnomes and Brownies. We've come
to ask you to our party this after
noon they said in chorus.
I'm too shy to come

prise. A big old Dragon shy!'

You see, we're not afraid of be-

all crawled out again after their ex-
citing adventure. the old Dragons
face was all wrinkled up with smiles.
