Before the war, for instance,
never saw in England the electric hard
trucks and motor trailers which are
used to expedite the handling of goods
in this country at freight and express
terminals. Recently they have been

ing machines and calculating machines
were almost unknown in England be-
fore the war. Now they are being put
into use wherever they can to save
human labor. Labor-Mving American
farm machinery has, of course been
introduced into farming in all parts
Of England, and in almost an equal
degree the use of American lahor-sav-
ing devices has been introduced into

Through British representatives ID
American dyemakers have received
complete lists of the patents for max

from their German owners with the
authority of the British parliament
shortly after England entered the war.
1t was recently announced by the de-
partment of commerce that the Du
Pont company intended entering upon
the manufacture of dyestuffs on large
scale. According to representatives of
the company, the Du Pont company
will manufacture dyes on a consider
able scale without waiting until the
end Of the war.
Without German Patents.
So far the dye industry in this coun-
try has been built up without the aid
of German patented methods, because
the laws of the country did not per-
NIT this. In spite of this handicap
manufacturers, according to
the department of commerce, have so
far invested more than $500, 10000 in
the manufacture Of dyestuffs, and are
now producing dyes in greater guam
titles than they were consumed in
in 1914. American chem

TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity, Greed and Initiative FACULTY
of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.

When we see in the street an Or
gan-grinder with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
of the animals native home or how 1t
was trapped. AS a matter Of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The last-mentioned
have nostrils widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with narrow nasal septum.
One might readily imagine that the
trapping of monkeys Is difficult op-
Grafton. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this hy-
pothesis. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps. but by
sheer ingenuity and the simplest sort
of articles. A monkey has various vul-
nerable points of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and truly Won
derful initiative faculty.
A trapper can take a pair of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight Of a monkey and soon have
that monkey in cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here Is where
the monkey IS mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
scends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside Is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast;
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain gourd,
filled with corn or some other eatable,
to a heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes 1t, and
wants more There is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand into the
small opening in the gourd and his
fingers close around a large supply OF
the food. Then he finds himself un-
able to withdraw his hand. The trap
per advances and captures Mr.. Mon
key, because the animals thinking
cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedient Of releasing
the food never occurs to him as O
means of escape.

She broke down over a word she

in her arms, and let q deep, racking
sob or two have their way with her.
But presently she sat erect again
and, with d supreme effort of will,
forced her voice to utter the word:

do, and you want me, I'll come back"

end of one of their long talks, 1t would

monstrous intention and accepted It.
But before the beginning Of the next
one, he seemed to manage, somehow,
to dismiss the thing as q nightmare.
Somehow or other, during the calmer

Pulses.


Pulses are meek little creatures that
live in wrists and serve as pacemakers
for the heart, telling 1t how fast to
beat. There has never been a case
known to science where the heart has
not beat as fast as the pulse. Pulses
sometimes get much excited under
stress of fear, strange young ladies'
and other embarrassment, and the
heart has to put forth its best lcks to
keep within hailing distance. Pulses
oftentimes act up in a very unseemly
manner under the thumb of an insur-
ance doctor and, indeed, have been
known to save their owners from $5
to $25 month in life insurance which
they have prevented his getting.
Unfortunately, pulses are located In
a very inaccessible place for repair
purposes, and when they begin to back
fire and miss there Is no chance to
throw up the radiator hood and peek
into their carburetors and things.
Pulses are invaluable to doctors In ar
irving at a diagnosis. That Is to say,
while the doctor is apparently engaged
in tolling off the pulse rate, he has
dandy opportunity to make few like
ly guesses as to the nature OF his
clients new ailment. Besides all this,
pulses are very handy little things
around which to wear pulse warmers
and wrist watches. A man with no
pulse Is dead to all practical purposes.

Everything else in neckwear is

ested women, otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overWhelm-
ed. 1t doesn't take any craftsmanship
to sell jabots, they sell themselves, and
all the merchant has to do is to take
the money-and keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part of
women promises to Outlast the sum-
mer and the jabot is so altogether clas-
sy and pretty that it should have a
long popularity. With this in mind

A special diSpenSation from the god
dess of fashion, in the interest of thrift
ty women, lies in the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in one gown. In
all the array Of pretty frocks for after
noon wear-or any other dreSSy wear,
for that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned of just one mate
rial. If the mission of q gown is full
filled by merely looking well, it is made
of two or more materials, or of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is a mark of good breeding
in these times. Now, when the re-
sources of this country are about to be
put to the test, women must be willing
to do with less so that others, who
need, may have more.
But it is no great hardship to do
without q new frock If an old one can
be remOdeled into thing of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
n good suggestion for remodeling be-
cause the overbodice and sleeves are
made of georgette crepe, and worn
with silk skirt and underbOdice. This
overbodice bears all the evidences Of
being strictly up-todate with its wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar of white crepe. A small triangle
Of white crepe is set in the sleeves ut
the wrist.
A new bodice Of this kind simply eff
faces the memory of the dress it used
to be and makes this into dress of
today. A new finishing touch appears
in the neck ribbon and tGssel which
add the final charm to a frock that

thing complicated, like watches.
That's what it was, really. Those two
pink little objects, in their two severe
ly sanitary baskets, were factory prod
ucts. At precise and unalterable in
tervals, a highly scientific compound
of fats and proteids was put into
them. They were inspected, weighed,
submitted to a routine of other proc
esses. And in oil the routine, there
was nothing that their mother. now
they were fairly born. was wanted for.
Rose kept those ideas to herself
and kept an eye on young Doris, lis
tened to the orders she got, and stud
led alertly what she did in the execu-
ton Of them.
Rodney had a lovely time watching
the twins bathed. He stood about in
everybody's way. made what he con-
ceived to be alluring noises, and finally
turned suddenly to his wife and said:
Don't you want to-hold them, Rose?"
A stab of pain went through her
and tears came up into her eyes. Eyes,

But Mrs. Ruston spoke before she
could frame the words. It was their
feeding hour, q bad time for them
to be excited. and the bottles were
heated exactly right.
By that time Roses idea had flow
cred into resolution. But she mustn't
jeopardize the success Of her plan by
trying to put it into effect too soon.

COWPEAS ARE REALLY BEANS
Practically Unknown In North, They
Make Very Nourishing Food, Say
Government Experts.

Cowpeas or Southern field peas
which, despite their name, are really
a kind of bean, are like other dry
beans, comparable with meat in the
kind of nourishment contained IN
them, and can, in the opinion Of spe-
cialists Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, well be used more
extensively as human food. They are
commonly used in the South, where
they are extensively grown, but are
practically unknown in the North and
Northwest where other, often more
expensive, beans are consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties of cow
peas, Of which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sirable for the table. In palatability.
digestibiity and nutritive value they
compare favorably with other beans,
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads many to consider them equal, II
not superior, to the latter.
Cowpeas are used on the table in
three forms-in the pod, shelled green
duu SuGilcO UIy~ ~SOIIcSpoAIuhSB AC
spectively, to string beans, shelled
green beans and dried beans, and call
ing for much the same methods Of
preparation for the table. The dry
cowpeas are by far the most common.
Like dry navy or Lima beans. cow
peas may be boiled with bit of fat
meat OR baked and served In place Of
lean meat or other food rich in nitro
gen. Boiled and mashed through a
colander, the beans form a foundation
for numerous dishes. They may be
creamed with milk and butter, like
mashed potatoes; formed into Gro
quettes with bread crumbs and fried
or baked; made into loaf with bread
crumbs, minced vegetables, milk and
seasonings; or made into soup.
A delicious combination dish, called
Hopping John," may be made as fol-
lows: Boil one quart Of cowpeas and
a scant pint of rice separately and mix
together when done. The rice should
be seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon
or beef bone boiled with the cowpeas
adds a desirable flavor to the dish.

Let Old Wounds Heal.

"By the time a man has reached
forty the chances are that something
has happened to him to destroy his
peace Of mind" These words were
spoken by one Of the wounded who,
didn't know how to take care of his
mind. He kept the wound from healing
by letting his mind dwell upon it-by
making it a controlling circumstance
in his life. Recovery was possible for
him. He might even have been bet
ter man for the wound. But he chose
to take harm out Of 1t instead of TAX
ing good.
Here lies the greatest danger for the
wounded. If they let the wound poison
the whole system it will, indeed, spoil
their lives. But there is always some
thing else to do-to put the system
into such a condition that the wound
shall inevitably heal and perhaps not
leave even a disf1guring trace on the
mind.-John D. Barry.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Only Remedy.

She was in the grip Of an appalling
realization. This moment-this actu-
ally present moment that was going
to last only until she should speak for
the next time-was the critical mo-
ment of her life.
"Roddy :" she said.
He was slumped down in a big easy
chair at the other side Of the table,
swinging a restless foot; drumming
now and then with his fingers. Some
sort of scene was inevitable. he knew.
And he sat there waiting for it.
He thought he was ready for any
thing. But just the way she spoke his
name startled-almost frightened him,
she said it SO quietly, so-tenderly.
"Roddy," she said, "I want you to
come over here and kiss me, and then
go back and sit down in that chair
again"
He went a little pale at that. The
swing of his foot was arrested sud-
denly. But, for q moment. he made no
move-just looked wonderingly into
her great, grave eyes.
Something's going to happen" she
went on, land before it's over, I'm
afraid it's going to hurt you terribly
and me- And l want the kiss for us
to remember. So that We'll always
know, whatever happens afterward,
that we loved each other" She held
out her arms to him. Wont you

There was a long embrace.

to do It," she said, "if it were just me.
But there's someone else-Pve made

about that Now please go back and

we can talk quietly. Oh, Roddy, love

And-and light your pipe. Oh, don't
tremble like that! It isn't a tragedy.
It's-for US, it's the greatest hope In

lighted his pipe as she asked him to,
and waited as steadily as he could for
her to begin.
