THE CHAINED PRINCESS.

IL you will look out Of the window
you can see In group Of stars the
lovely lady Of the rock.
But we don't see any lady" they
objected after looking
Have a little patience until you can
pick out the stars. They form a sort
Of skeleton around which you must
see the lovely lady In your minds eye.
III make a picture Of the lady for you.
"Oh, my" exclaimed the children as
they watched him, she's got chains OH
for?
The chains were put on to hold the
lovely lady TO the rock. But l may as
well tell you the story.
According TO this, there once lived I'm
faroff Africa a king named Cepheus.
His wife, Queen Cassiopeia, was n very
| beautiful lady, but she was very vain.
one day she boosted that she was
| handsOmer than the daughters of the
sea king. One OF the ocean nymphs
heard Cassiopeia and told her father
old King Neptune.
He was very proud of his lovely
daughters, and TO punish vain Queen
Cassiopeia he turned loose a fierce
sea monster on the shores of King
Cepheus and Queen CassiOpeia's coun-
| try.
Queen Cassiopeia was overcome with
grief when she learned that the trou-
bic was because of her foolish boast
about her good looks. King Neptune
let IL be known that the monster would
stay right there, frightening and kill
ing people and upsetting ships until
King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia
gave their own daughter to It.
OF course the king and queen said
at first they could never think OF such
thing When Princess Andromeda,
their daughter, heard OF ii she begged
to die instead of the poor people
SO they chained her to II rock on the
seashore. Her parents and friends,
weeping, watched as the monster came
swimming IN from sea.
But there suddenly swept down from
the sky on winged horse beauti-
full youth clad in armor that shone like
gold. With few strokes OF his magic
sword he killed the beast and set the
lovely princess free.
He was the hero Perseus, and he
married the lovely princess Androme-
da, and they lived together long and
happily ever afterward.
When the two died their memory was
honored. People named a group OF
stars after each OF them. In the east
ern heavens about this time of the year
you will always see the Andromeda
star cluster rising slowly In the sky.

Currant Ice Cream.

Few housekeepers realize that an ex-
cellent ice cream can be made with
currants. Mash one scant quart OF
cherry currants, heat TO the boiling

sufficient sugar to make quite thick.
Simmer for FIVE minutes, then strain
as for jelly. Have In readiness one
pint OF boiled custard. also sweetened.
When the fruit liquid is cold beat into
the custard gradually with half a pint
Of stiffly whipped cream. Turn into a
chilled freezer and freeze slowly as

BURBANK MAKES NEW FIND.
Yield Of Wheat Will Be Increased by
"Plsnt Wizards" Discovery.

The development OF variety OF
wheat which will yield five times az
much to the acre as the average OF
wheat production throughout the Unit
ed States is announced by Luther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard" of Santa
Rosa, according to a dispatch to the
Sacramento Bee.
Burbank's announcement Of the sue
cess OF his experiment comes ten years
after he began work on wheat and at
time when wheat may be the biggest
factor In winning or losing the world
war.
According TO Burbank, the average
yield OF wheat will run from fifty to
seventy bushels an acre. IL 1t is uni
versally planted, he says, the produc-
ton OF the present acreage OF wheat
could be doubled many times.
Experiments as to the milling nature
Of this new variety OF wheat are yet to

Band Adopts Forcible Methods.

Defiance, O.-Miss June Speiser, a
member of the Girls band OF Defiance,
took an unusual method TO teach re-
spect for the national anthem to an
audience at Florida the other evening.
The band was playing THE Star

Ola when Miss Speiser noticed that the
men in the audience did not remove
their hats
She put down her horn in the middle
of the selection, walked toward the
audience and removed the hat from
the head OF the first man she met.
Several others were treated to the
same dose, and finally all hats came
off, and there was great applause for
the patriotic little lady, who is sixteen
years of age.

NEW AUTO HERE FOR CH|T|NA
 TRAIL

When Mother Nature first designed
 the caterpillar, her ultimate purpose
 was the gorgeous butterfly.. From the
 slow moving creature was to come the
 swiftly flying insect; celerity from
 sluggishness.
 NJ. l.. Adams, of Fairbanks, has just
 reversed Mother Nature. From a high
 powered, high spirited automobile he
 has created caterpillar.
 All of which is by way of introduc- ing the latest mode of Alaskan trans portation. styled by Adams the Alas
 ka Tank" Stage driving in Alaska, specially from Chitina to Fairbanks, over dis tance of 320 miles, is different from | stage driving in any other part of the
 world. Snow, mud. gumbo. ice hills
 and poor roads are only incidental features of the long run, and the use of an automobile has only been at tempted because of the necessity of making time. When Adams first studied the situ- dtlOH CdTeIuily He ueIeTHllHeQ that | the tank" which the entente allies were using on the European front, clambering in and out of trenches | over barriers and across broken stret- | ches of country, was the only practi- cal solution for the Chitina-Fairb route.
 To obtain one of the tanks, how ever, was practically impossible, and for time Adams was blocked. The old proverb about Mahomet and the
 mountain gave him an idea. and he determined that if he could not buy
 tank to make one of his own. The final device which he has set | tied upon includes the use of Twin Six Packard 3-4S model for the driy- ing power.. Six wheels roll under the capetpillar, four on the rear and the | usual two in front. The four rear wheels are divided, two on each side, being attached to the rear axle The body of the car is heightened to ac. commodate the wheels.
 The tread. which connects the rear wheels on either side. embodies the | idea of the feet" which give the cat erpillar such possibilities in climbing
 over instructions. The two wheels
