South African Asbestos.

Asbestos has been worked in South
Africa for 20 years, and, according to
the annual reports Of the government
engineers, there are in the three dis
tricts Of thurman, Hay and Preiska,
what some claim to be by far the larg-
est asbestos bearing areas in the world.
Looking alike at the properties already
worked profitably by underground
methods, those on which surface FORK
has shown that the seams are likely
to continue payable underground and
those on which further supplies are
still available by cheap surface min
ing, there is a supply of asbestos as
sured that is more than adequate to
meet any expansion of the market that
can reasonably be anticipated for many
years to come. In the meantime, fresh
discoveries and developments may be
relied upon to insure continuity of sup
ply for q further indefinite period.

One Of the developments of the one
piece dress, which makes of it a good
model for the promenade, is shown In
the accompanying photograph. 1t
looks like a plated skirt of silk jer-
sey, with a plain coat suggestive of
a sweater, but its looks are mislead-
Ing. 1t is n one-piece garment, and it
might be made in serge, gaberdine, or
any pliable wooden goods. Like so
many others, it bears the imprint of
sports styles in the straight lines of
the body, in the long girdle which Is
wrapped easily about the waist, and in
the patch pockets.
This is one of those designs which
are adapted to almost any color. 1t has
a number Of novel finishing touches
that give it n distinction which will
match up with the peculiar shades of
green and the beautiful blues that
have captivated everybody. But what
ever color is chosen must be used
throughout. The ties at the throat,
of brocaded ribbons, furnish all the
contrast needed.
1t Is noticeable that the sleeves are
of the same material as the dress and

to wonder at the c~leverness Of its de-

Because of its pockets and buttons
and its odd belt, "Spring, 1871" Is
written boldly on the suit pictured.
And because of her suit and hat and
her swagger stick the judgment of
their wearer is above question; h
knows smart style and chooses it for
her own.
1t does not take long to tell the
story of the pretty suit, since its skirt
is plain and all its points of interest
centered In the coat, which Is short.
Although women are reluctant about
giving up short skirts, this model
reaches an inch or so below the shoe
top, and shows the inslstence of de-
signers in their attempt TO bring long
err skirts into favor. This skirt model

SAVING the Husband.

Mr.. Norton was a very patient maj

provided a continuous flow of CONVEX
satiOn and a known as a nag. Final
ly, the nerves of the poor man gave

turbed Sleep" said the doctor, as he
looked thoughtfully at the woman. u

which must be used exactly as written
on the box. Will you promise to dc
this, madam, or must l order him to
the hospital?" "Indeed, l promise"
cried Mrs. Norton, c%heerfully. II will
give them just as you direct, doctor"
When the box came from the drug
gist's the label read: sleeping pow

represent interests that carry with
them motives for application and effort
and sacrifice, and they carry with them
stimulation and recreation that are ne
where else to be found.
The selection of a hobby, like the Sc
lection of an occupation or a spouse,
must always be left to the person most
dren a certain bias, however, that will
have n value proportional to your judg-
ment and insight. AS 1t Is legitimate
to have a prejudice against your son
becoming a bartender or your daughter
marrying a gambler, so you may tOler-
ate certain types of hobbies and dis
courage others. But these influences
should moi rest on our W tastes;
there are more fundamental cOnsidera-
tons. Thus you and l are fond Of 60
Louise to cultivate amateur theatricals
than a fascination for a popular act

baseball until sunset than for him to
become a baseball fan. Again, 1t is for
the child to determine whether he will
make a study of medieval armor or of
orchids, whether she will conduct pro-
paganda for the protection Of the ma
tive birds or for clean streets.
Parents should realize the advantage
of Il hobby that calls for some kind OF
activity yer II that involves being
entertained or amused. In the same
way a hobby that means doing some
thing is more valuable than n collect
ing hobby, which means having some
thing, although this is better than nc
hobby at all.
On the physiological side, entertain.

HOW HE SOLD INSURANCE

q Different Way Than the
Solicitor Did.

The first day I started out to call In
every place Of business and try to in
terest people in life insurance. No
one seemed to want It. I found that
most folks were too busy to listen to
my tables-or even my arguments.
Finally, / finished canvassing the mer-
chants on one side of the main street;
that is, / thought I had finished. and
kept right on out into the residential
section, stopping to talk to a few peo-
pie cutting grass in their front yards.
No one showed particular interest;
some wouldn't even talk to me. At
last I saw a fellow painting a house.
1 jumped over the fence and vas
amazed when he came down off the
ladder to talk to me. I reckon his
arm must have been tired and he was
glad for an excuse to rest. But, at
any rate, 1 succeeded in interesting
him, and I telephoned to my mana
ger to come out and help close the

TRAINING TODAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Every Child Should Be Encour-
aged to Pursue a Hobby.
GIVE HIM ACTIVE INTEREST
Something Involving Application and
Effort and Sacrifice Is Better Than
One Calling for His Entertain
ment and Amusement.
BY siDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

WHEN a person has completed his
~ share of the worlds work it is con-
sidered proper for him to retire" And
in accordance with this tradition old
Mr.. Stewart withdrew from active par
ticipatiOn in his business when he knew
that he had enough money and when
his family thought that he 'needed Il
rest" After q few weeks of "resting'
the old gentleman became very uneasy
and unhappy. He wanted to visit the
office, but this was strictly forbidden,
and as he could not think of anything
else to do he mOped around, extending
his Own misery to those about him.
Cases of this kind are common enough,
and in a large proportion of them the
to remain to the end. But in other
cases there is too much opposition from
those who look upon work as a hard
ship, and the old man withers away.
Many a business man before reach
ing this stage is merely tired. But why
should the business man be more tired
than other people? He does not work
any harder than the professional man
or the artisan. And the others prob
ably are doing their share Of the wor-
rying. It Is very likely that the person
who is always represented to us in the
comic papers and in the theater as be-
ing in need of entertainment that calls
for no eXertion whatever on his part
is tired because he does not do enough.
That Is to say he does not do enough
different kinds of things. The tired
business man suffers from all the evil
consequences Of early specialization.
We may be sorry for him, but it is diff
ficult to remedy his condition. What
we can do is to prevent our children
from acquiring this same malady.
We may find the preventive in the
lives of men and women who never
grow old. The essential difference be-
tween one of these people or a healthy
child and a tired business man" lies
in the wide range of problems and ac-
tivities that can interest the former as
against the narrow interests and SYM
pathies of the latter. 1t should be part
of our aim in the training of children
to keep open for them all the lines of
communication with ideas and feelings
that may cOme to them.
This is not a passive affair. Ideas
and feelings do not come to us because
we sit still. The child must learn to
60 forth and meet the new experience
a little more than half way. We must
cultivate the attitude which seeks sat-
isfaction in doing, in overcoming diff
culties, in solving problems. We must
discourage cOntentment with passive
comfort, always receiving and never
giving, with letting well enough
alone" This means retaining the YER
satility and the aggressiveness Of
youth as long as possible.
In practice we shall be annoyed fire.
quently by the intensity with which
the girl or boy will pursue a hobby.
We realize only toe well the folly Of
setting the heart too firmly upon this
or that. But the child in these things
often is wiser than his elders. For
whatever is worth doing ut all is worth

We went to the painters house that
night. I was eager for quick action,
but the manager seemed quite lacka-
daisical. Instead Of talking insurance
right away he picked up a flaxen-haired
y%oungster toddling about the floor and
began trotting him on his knee, at the
same time assuring the mother that
the child's eyes were exactly the same
shade as those of a nephew of his out
In Des Moines. After the boy had
gone to sleep In his arms, the mana
ger began talking insurance, and I
was amazed at the ease with which he
signed up the painter. l had expect

asm that can be mustered. Nor must
we determine for the child what Is
worth doing. We have learned the fol-
ly Of air rifles or of reading all the
writings of a favorite author, not by
suffering any injury from these inter-
ests, but by finding things that were
better worth while. And the children
need not take our preference for etch-
ings or first editions as indicating abb
solute values. At every stage the child
should be encouraged to pursue his
hobby as intensively as time and chance
permit. Some hobbies will last but a
short time; others may last into the
ripper years. But In any case these
