HOUND SOURCE OF REAL GUN
EuDice's Demonstration Of ExtraN
agancc Surprised and Pleased az

"A suit like the blue you can wear
through two seasons" the saleswoman
said. ''Of course the brown is good
suit, too, but it hasn't equally fine
lines. The difference in price is only
i've dollars"
Eunice Morgan looked at the brown
suit as it was reflected in the mirror;
her delicate brows were drawn togeth-
er in a frown. She had not been pay
ing much heed to the saleswoman, but
the last words caught her attention.
It suddenly seemed to her that all her
life she had been buying the cheaper
thing and being discontented with 1t
when few more cents or few more
dollars would have given her the joy
of satisfied desires. In her revulsion
against the constant fret, she declared
to herself that for once she would have
what she liked, no matter what else
she had to do without.
''Well?" Sally Pennock inquired.
Eunice had taken Sally along for NOR
al support-which, being interpreted,
meant to tell her that the cheaper
thing was the most becoming. Eunice
drew long breath.
.Oh. I.suppose I'm going to be wise,"
she said, and hate being WISE"
Brown is always becoming to you"
Sally declared Loyalty. Il think you'll
like it, Eunice- truly, do"
But when it came home Eunice did
not like it. She liked it even less than
she had at the store. She was stand
ing before the glass with tears Of vex.
alton in her eyes, when there came a
knock at the door, and she turned to
see Jennie Scott with her bundle of
laundry. Jennie's eyes widened admir-
ingly.
20 Miss Eunice," she cried, isn't
it lovely! You look beautiful in it,"
Eunice smiled No one could have
resisted Jennie's eyes.
II wish liked it half as well as you
do" she replied.
Jennie's ,adoring face grew wistful.
"It must be so beautiful to match" she
said Some day" she hesitated and
then went boldly on-"some day, Miss
Eunice, I'm going to have a whole suit.
I have almost five dollars saved. But
when it seems long time to wait,
I just remember that everyone's wait
ing for something, and then, you know,
/ grow ashamed"
Eunice locked from her own new
suit to the shabby, brave little figure.
Jennie" she exclaimed, Il have an
idea! Will you come around once q
week and mend for me an hour
gloves and skirt bindings and things?
I'll gladly pay twenty-five cents o
week, and that will be eight dollars
to add to your five by next spring"
20 Miss Eunice!@ Jennie cried.
AS the girls happy feet ran down
the stairs, Eunice took off the suit.
For once,'' she said to herself. 'T've
been extrayagant, and it's the best fun
ever knew. Youths Companion.

Alabama Coal.

The earliest known record of the ex,
istence of coal in Alabama was made
in 1884, but the first statement of pro-
duction in the state is contained in the
United States census report for iS40,
in which the amount mined is given as
GAG tons. The mines of Alabama were
probably worked to a considerable ex.
tent during the Civil war, but there are
no specific records until 1870, for
which the United States census re-
ports a production of 1L0O0 tons. The
development of the present great in
dustry really began in 1881 and 1882,
when attention was directed to the
large iron deposits near the city of
Birmingham. In 1914, according to
the United States geological survey,
the production was 1888, ,422 tons.

Lona Hearlnas on Navy.

~
Probably considerable part of the
complaint which has been made con
corning laggardly action in the house
Of representatives this year is due to
the long-drawn-out hearings in the
naval committee on the subject of
naval preparedness. Weeks and weeks
have been spent in hearings. 1t is
said that all kinds of inconsequential
matters have been discussed in the
committee, and that If the real OBJ
5ect of the hearings alone had been
given consideration the bill might
have been reported to the house long
ago.
Ever since congress was congress
the party in power has prepared in
advance of each session 2 program of
the greater legislation which it was
intended to sanction. The house Of
representatives has little or no diff
Guilty in putting through the measures
which the majority party leaders have
determined upon as part of the pro
gram. When one of these measures
gets into the house it goes through
rapidly. The trouble, as has been said
before, comes in the senate where
free discussion and no rule to bring
it to a close enable the opponents Of
any measure to salk against it. at
great length.
In the house in one way there is
such thing as dawdling. 1t has
marked pretty nearly every session
for the years that one correspondent
at least has been in this city. II is
a peculiar kind of dawdling. It's mani
festation is to be found in the at
tempts of the majority leaders. or Of
cliques in the house which may be
composed of members of both parties,
to prevent the passage of some spe-
cies of legislation which has not been
sanctioned in advance by the party
leaders, but for which there seems to
be an insistent demand from many
people throughout the country.

SUNK SUSSEX

Washington, April 6.-The Amer
lean embassy attaches who were ap-
pointed to examine the pieces of me-
tai found on the channel packet Sus-
sex have reported their investigation
shows the pieces were parts of a Ger
man torpedo. The findings of the at
taches were based on a comparison of
the metal pieces with the structure
of captured German torpedoes in
Paris.
Another days development has in
creased the possibility Of a rupture
with Germany. Receipt of the French

announcing the belief that the chan
mel packet was a submarine victim,
and citing the evidence on which the
belief is based, confirmed the fear of
Washington officials that a diploma
tic break may be unavoidable.
