SHE KEPT DRESS sCRAPBOOK
II Gave Young Woman a Glimpse Of
the History Of All Her
Frocks.

'It's one of my most cherished pos.
sessions, and l love it for the memo
rles-some pleasant, some sad-that 1t
recalls"
A girl was showing m Of her
friends a volume that bore the title,
"Laura's Dress History" Outwardly
remarks a writer in the Youths Com.
panion, it appeared to be an ordinary
scrap album, but inside there were
none of the usual pictures; instead,
the leaves were decorated with squares
of cloth of many different kinds and
cOlOrs.
81 began this when / was a very
little girl" Laura explained. II re-
member that it was one day when
mother showed me a roll of pieces.
There were bits of my first colored
dresses. l was FASTING pictures in my
scrapbook, and the idea occurred to
me TO use scraps of my dresses instead
of the pictures. Mother gave me a
square of each piece and taught me
how to paste them in place.
GAS l grew older 1 thought of other
things that would add to the interest
of the book. So underneath each
lock l described how that particular
dress was made. Sometimes i drew
a little pattern picture, sometimes l
wrote a description. Then, too, l wrote
anything of interest connected with
the dress-when it was bought, made
and first worn, who gave it to me if
it CHANGED to be a present, and other
incidents such as this"
Laura touched a pink bingham
square, beneath which was written :
uncle James gave this to me on my
ninth birthday. The first time l wore
it | tore the skirt"
"The Powered lawn says, Bought
July /, made July 2, worn July 4
and dyed July g. You see, 1 wore
it to a Fourth of July celebration
and ruined it with stains. But"
She laughed and pointed to the
rhyme:

What Sympathy Means.

Did you vel ask yourself what is
the greatest tragedy Of lifeP Did
you ever ask yourself what is the one
lasting and indestructible Joy of life?
What sorrow is without PREPARATION?
What joy is untainted by bitterness?
Let me tell you. The greatest, the ir-
reparable sorrow Of life Is isolation f;
the only cup of Joy that has no dregs
is love and sympathy. This is true.
You may walk trlumphantly through
poverty deprivation, suffering and
helplessness, If only you march with
the love and the sympathy and the
goodwill as a lonely personal burden.
and you win be utterly defeated. The
weight Of life upon you, borne alone,
will be insupportable. Take life, full
of defeat and grief, Of inevitable
losses and partings as It must be, with
all the love Of your fellow man to
brighten 1t, and life is success.-Delln-
Gator.

TYPEWRITER IN FIRST PLACE
Was Actually Invented Before Anyone
Had Thought About the Mod
ern Steel Pen.

Long ago, when Romans and Greeks
wished to write, they used wax tablets
instead of paper, which they knew
nothing about, and their pen was
called a stylus. The stylus is a pen
Gil made of iron or other metal, sharp
at one end and blunt at the other. The
sharp end was used to scratch the
surface Of the wax and the blunt end
was used as an eraser.
If you had lived in olden times in
Egypt, probably you would have used
skins on which to write your letters.
At a later time, papyrus, or a certain
kind of leaf, vas used. The ink was
simply black paint, thinned out, and
the pen was a brush. By and by some
forgotten genius tried a reed, which
was used instead.
Our great-grandfathers used quilts
for pens. Goose quilts were mostly
used, and quilts of crows feathers
were for fine writing.
We have to go back only to 1920 to
see the manufacture of the first steel
pens. They were made in London,
and in the form of a tube, but now
they are rolled out of fine steel.
1t is a curious fact hat the type
writer, which has so largely taken the
place of the pen, actually was invent
ed before the steel pen. AS early as
the year 1T17 a typewriter was pat
ented in England, but 1t was not until
1929 that a practical machine was
made.

She Would Not Call Names.

The county superintendent Of
schools, Miss Whitehead (whose hair
was almost white), was paying a visit
to a country school. At the close Of
the school, when the children went
trooping out, each one said, "Goodby,
Miss Whitehead But one little girl,
with red hair, said nothing, and hung
her head. AS she was about to pass,
Miss Whitehead put out her hand and
said:

goodby to me, as the others have7"

DOG RECOGNIZED A FRIEND
interesting Story of How AequaInt-
ance Between Blind Man and
Animal Began.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there recently was a story about a dog
who made friends with a stranger.
The writer describes the incident in
this fashion:
"Then, his native curiosity getting
the better Of him, he stood up and
cautiously approached. The nan did
nothing except emit noises. Bowker
came closer and shifted tentatively at
his trouser legs. He detected some
thing Of absorbing interest there. A
man who smells of dog is to be neither
feared nor hated.
"Bowker lifted his nose and shifted
higher. Then, very gently, he raised
himself on his hind legs and placed.
his forepaws on Antony's knee, look
ing up inquiringly into the blind eyes.
"The rumbling died out in Antony's
throat. Slowly he raised a cropping
hand and rested it for a moment on
the dogs paws. A little moist tongue
came out and touched 1t. Antony's
hand sought the hard little head and
then Travelled slowly, hesitatingly down
the shaggy neck.
"BOwker gave a quick spring and
landed on Antony's knees, shifting ca
gerly at his vest. Then, with discon-
certing suddenness, he lifted his pert
little head and caught Antony under
the fat chin with his cold, bewhiskered
nose. Antony drew back his head with
a grunt that vas almost a chuckle, and
BOwker boldly stood up with his paws
on Antony's shoulder and shifted at
his ear"

lar Than Lectures at An
nual Week in Columbia.
Demonstrations are more
popular than lectures and farm
ers would rather see things done
than to listen to talks on how to
do them, are the conclusions to
be drawn from an attendance
summary made of the 1917
Farmers Week by the College of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri, under whose direction
with the State Board of Agri-
culture, the week is held.
The average attendance at
demonstrations was 90.8 per
cent and at lectures 55.14.
Animal husbandry and home
economics were the two most
popular lecture courses. In the
first the attendance was 1888
per cent. In the latter the per-
centage was 86,1. The attend
ance in the home economics is
an indication of the interest the
farm wife is taking in her side
of the science of agriculture.

AIR CRAFT MUST

Washington, June 16.-This war
and program of air craft produc-
ton through which it is hoped to
dominate the fighting lines of Eu-
rope within year has been worked
out by the air craft production
board of the defense council
Howard Coffin, chairman of the
board, said that, although details
would not be revealed now, the
plan was so comprehensive that he
was sure the congress would APP
prove it quickly. For weeks Mr..
Coffin has been in conference with
the country's leading air craft and
material makers and the plan he
will submit is believed to have the
approval OF all the interests which
will do the actual construction
work.
Up to Congress,
eve may as well realize now
said Mr. Coffin in a formal state
ment, chat the domination OF the
air will in all probability prove the
deciding factor. Military authori-
ties of all the allied nations are
agreed that unless the allies can
secure a preponderance of air craft,
the war probably will drag on for
years.
1--WE believe now that we have
worked out a program which will
make it possible for the United
States to secure to the allies next

WAR WITH GERMANY
Mexican Leader Waiting For An
Opportunity to Break With
Central Powers.

relations with Germany. This step
| is regarded as a forcgone conclu-
sion by various officials here whose
concern it is to observe closely the
trend of affairs in Mexico, and to
interpret the effect upon interna-
tional policy of developments in
the Carranza government.
Mexicans in official life here de-
clare that Mexico should not recede
from her neutrality. But there is
not as matter of fact, one of
them who is aware of the consider
alton Carranza already has given to
the advantages which would accrue
to his government and country by
breaking with Germany. with Car
rama it is no longer question
of whether he shall break with
Germany. That he will break has
been decided. The only questions
are as to the time, opportunity and
nature of quid pro con which he
may exact from this government.
Carranza missed an opportunity
for his country and himself when
he threw over last March the chance
to lead the rest of the Spanish
American countries in resisting the
Germans. Now, instead of being
in the vanguard Mexico will mere
" trail after Brazil Cuba, Nj
