Neither replied. Alvarez asked the
question of Mrs. Torrance. who had
followed them out of the house. She
would not reply.

act of heroism on the part of one OF
the boys unknown to him OF from

Streets In Mexico.

AS so many of the Indians cannot
read the streets in Mexico are named
after birds or beasts. The name OF
the street appears in Spanish letters,
but this is followed by the figure OF the
creature after which the street is
named. For instance, OK street is i'll
dicated by Il figure of an OK in plaster
or painted on a wall. The street of
Flamingo presents the tail tlamln"o
with back of fiery red, and Elephant
! street has a we'll nodded figure of that
animal with enormous tuskS ana trunk.
This custom is Il very useful one. for
the youngest child can thus find its
way home.

Her Craft For Amateurs.
If your colored silk thread gives out
when you lack only two or three inches
of finishing tie the thread as sOOn as it
leaves the spool to an ordinary spool OF
cotton thread; then it is possible to
sew a distance of exactly ten inches
more. The knot goes through all b
openings except the needles eye, and
by being attached to the spool the
thread is held taut.
Do not cut your sewing machine belt
when it gets too loose. Instead put Il
few drops of pure castor Oil on the
band. run the machine a few minutes,
and the belt will be frightened.
If you will cover your sewing table
with white oilcloth stretched tightly
and fastened with thumb lacks you
will find no difficulty in keeping it free
from dust, and the plain white surface
is a help when cutting garments from
dark Materials.
When doing fine sewing or embroid-
ering or anything that requires close
attention the strain on the eyes will be
much leSSened If q dress Or apron is
worn of a color contrasting with the
work in hand. If it is white wear a
black apron; If black wear a white one,
especially when sewing at night. When
a n~eed1eWOrker arrives at the age when
the threading of a needle is a strain On
her eyes and patience let her adopt the
crewel needle for all kinds of sewing.
For short lengths or piecework, where
you don't car to bother with putting
the ruftler on the sewing machine. SIM
ply lengthen the stitch a little and
loosen the upper tension. Then stitch
just as you would if the rutfler We're
! on, and the bobbin thread will be found
to make a perfect %goffering thread OF
which the fabric may be drawn up to
any desired fullness.
When cutting garments from pat,
terms that you expect to use again

amount Of material that is required
Frequently by careful cutting and d

less than the directions call for can be
utilized, and a glance will tell just the
amount you need when you wish t.
purchase material again.

In homes where automobile lunch

is a good idea to have on hand several
fresh, clean egg boxes with compart-
ments, In which eggs come from the
store. Stuffed eggs al then be rolled
in parattin paper and stood upright in
each compartment so they will travel
without crushing or losing shape. Nei-
Their need the halves of the egg be kept
together with toothpicks, as is fire.

wiches also keep their shape in these
individual compartments. Loaf cake
can be cut in pieces Of a size to tit
these partitioned boxes by lifting out
the divisions and pressing the paste
board edge on the freshly frosted sur.
face of the cake. Replace the parti.
tons in the box and allow the frosting
to become firm. Then cut in squares
as indicated by the markings. Each
piece of cake will be Of a size to fit

"Have You Seen My Sheep"

For this game the players stand in a
circle. One walks around on the out
side and, touching one Of the circle
players on the back, asks, "llave YOU
seen my sheep?' The one questioned
answers. How was he dressed?' The
outside player then describes the dress
of some one in the circle, saying, for
instance: Gle wears a red necktie. He
is dressed in gray and has low shoes.
The IL questioned then names the
player whom he thinks this describes
and, if right, at nee begins to chase
him around the outside of the circle.
In this game a player must be very
alert to recognize himself in the given
description. for Immediately he must
be chased by the player who guosses
his description. Should the runner be
tagged before returning to his place he
must take the questioner's place. run
ming around the outside Of the circle
and asking of some player, Have you

License Tags Attractive

Commissioners of Motor Vehicles Z.
Austin Baughman has decided on the
new motor vehicle license for 1917, and
which must be carried Oh all motor
vehicles after January l, next. The
new tags will be of cream colored back
ground. with green figures. Between
the figures. after they run over 10000,
will be hyphen, which will separate
them and make them more easilv dis
tinguishable. This tag will be on the
order Of the New York license.
Commissioner Baughman said that
the figures would be reduced in height
from five inches to four inches, which
would allow more room on the tags to
spread the numbers out, this also aiding
in making them more easily discernible.
The Commissioner is enthusiastic about
the new tags, which will not only be
attractive, but big improvement
over those of past years. Dark figures
on light background will show up
more readily.

Famous Horse Dead

Horsemen throughout the United
States learned with regret a few days
since that Dan Patch, the world S fast
est PAGER. and his owner. Mr.. M. w.
Savage, had died within few hours
of each other. 1t is believed that Mr.
Savage's death from heart failure was
the result OF the shock received when
ne learned that his famous horse was
dead. Dan Patch, who was 20 years
old at the time of his death, was pur-
chased by Mr. Savage in 1902 for the
fabulous price of $50, 600. His wonder
full speed and endurance however,
made 1t possible for him to win every
race in which he entered so that his
value rapidly increased until Mr.. Saw
age finally refused $3.50, 900 for him.
In 1906 Dan startled the world by pac-
ing q mile in So and no horse has
ever been able to lower this record.

Automobile Accidents

Two automobile accidents occurred il
the neighborhood on Sunday last. Mr.
Robt. L. Wells with his wife and
several guests had very narrow
escape from serious injury when his
machine overturned on the State road
in Lapstone. They met machine
running about 40 miles an hour and
wabbling from one side the road to the
ether, and in order to avoid him, Mr..
Wells was obliged to drive into the
ditch, causing his front wheels to strike
the bank and overturning them.
The other accident occurred on the
Marlboro w ashington Pike when a
Saxon machine containing Washing
tonians ran into Mr.. Reverdy Niehol-
sons automobile containing himself
and family Mr.. Nicholson was on
the extreme right Of the road, and the
other machine attempted to cut around
a buggy and collided with them. Both
machines were smashed and Mrs.
Nicholson knocked unconscious. She
was later carried to Washington hos
pital where she is recovering. Mr..
Nicholson and the ether members Were
cut and bruised.
On Sundays and holidays our improv
ed roads are lined with visiting auto
mobiles, some of. them being run very
recklessly and having no regard fol-
speed limits. These offenders shoulc
be dealt with severely as they endangel
the lives and curtail the pleasure Of
everyone using the roads.
We commend the good work of Mr.
Thomas A. Garrison and others for Ell
forcing the law in the upper end o.
our county. 1t is too Dad we havn'
