Value of Reading Habit Shown by
Boston Man
Almost any salesman can make
money by reading the daily papers,
if he knows how to read them. They
are full of the names of possible
prospects. So and,So has recently
come into some money-he ought
to buy life insurance. So-and So is
going OIL a journey, or has built a
house, or is going to get married.
Every item carries with it the no.
tice of need to be filled with some
kind of goods.
Even a burglary may be tured to
account, as was proved by j. E. Bray,
an electrical salesman, of Boston.
Il had completed my evening meal
and filled my old briar, and was
starting to peruse the war items
when, read: ...-..
AS Mr.. and Mrs. B. returned
from the theatre last night and en-
tered the hallway of their residence,
two men jumped out of~the parlor
window and escaped. Owing to the
street lamp being shaded by trees,
they were unable to get a good look
at the uninVited visitors
Il cut out the article and tucked
it away in my vest pocket.
THE next day | called at the ad-
dress given in the article, and after
ringing the bell and handing the lady
who answered the call my paste
board, I was invited in. Mrs. E. re-
lated the story in every detail.
my cue was when she got to the
part where the burglars ran down
the porch steps. l said. Mrs. B if
YOU had some kind of light ON the
porch which could be lighted from
switch in the hall, you could have
gotten a description of the men that
might have led to their capture.
They may come back Don't you
think it would be a good scheme to
have electric lights put on? You
could have wall switch put right
next to your bed, and by just press
ing the button throw a flood of light
in your room. Also have a light on
the porch with a switch in the hall.
Il sent a contractor to figure OH
the job, and we landed it. "-Har-

The horizontal line at the top will
determine the length of the bead.
Beads are being made from one
half inch to one and one-half inch
in length. The point of the pattern
must be opposite the exact center OF
the horizontal line. The longer the
pennant shape, the thicker will be
the bead. Use the cardboard pattern

magazine covers showing any desired
colors, as many pennant shapes as
YOU desire beads. Wrap them, one
at a time. color-side out, over the
steel rod of a hat pin, being careful
to begin wrapping evenly; roll as
tightly as possible and fasten the
pointed end with a bit of muellage.
Remove from hat pin and brush very
lightly with shellac. When dry, the
beads are ready to string. By inter
spersing with glass beads of suit
able color, truly beautiful necklaces
may be made.
one of the lovliest made by this
method was developed from labels

and gold resulting in beads that re-
ouired the closest examination to dis
tinguish them from splendid oriental

products would do as well, as they
are also blue, white and gold. These
beads are also used to finish fancy

NEW YORK, May 19.-Uncle Sans new
army must have the best a~viators in the
world. This is the order that has come
from Washington, and the army schools
throughout the country are striving to ear
~ it out.
There are many obstacles and discour-
agements, fast scout planes are almost
nonexistent this side of the Atlantic. but
the standard already reached means n vast
advance over the condition exposed in the
unsavory San Diego tCal.) scandal and
investigation Of not 80 long ago and the
pitiful exhibition of the Per>hing expedi-
tons early days.
Army officers do not attempt 10 assume
that our machines and birdmen are equal
to the crack FLYERS of the Lafavete Esca-
dnlle, for instance, but they believe that
by the time Yankee youths are offering
battle to the Germans over the plains Of
Flanders they viii make an excellent show
ing against the best the kai>er's minions
have to offer.
A trip out to the big government flying
school on Hampstead Plains. near Mineola,
L. l., shows a scene Of b%ustling activity. a
beehive Of industry, which has specded up
even over its former strenuous pace in the
last few days.
