Do you lie awake of nights thinking
of what you are going TO do tomor-
row, or of what you have forgot today?
Lots of women do, and it is sheer
waste of nervous energy. Don't bother
your head worrying about the little
details that arise In the course of your
days work. Try the method Of max
ing a list. Keep a pad handy, whether
it is on your desk, in your sewing
basket or on the kitchen wall. Each
time a new task arises which you can
not attend to Immediately write it IN
the pad. Then In the course of the
day consult your pad, selecting the
most important thing to be done, the
thing that won't wait until tomorrow.
This saves lots of worry. 1t saves
also such complaints as Mother, you
never sewed that button on my coat"
or "Mary, did you pay that coal bill
that / asked you to attend tor or Il
thought you said you were going to
have waffies for supper tonight, moth
err" There Is no use In e~luttering the
memory with such details when a pen
ell and paper will do the work.
In making a dress the same method
is to be recommended. Often In sew
ing half the nerve strain comes from
worrying over the details of finishing,
which you are apt TO forget. Just get
out pencil and paper and jot down a
hook here and a bit Of trimming there,
ETC., and get the annoyance off your
mind.

Minerals Bird.

The Greeks made the owl the en-
blem of wisdom. Shakespeare makes
the witches add the wing of an owl to
their caldron of deadly potion, and
1T was the owl that shrieked, the
fatal bellman." For centuries the owl
was accused Of such evil practices as
Turing hunters into dangerous swamps
and causing the bride to commit sui
eide just "a hours before the time set
for the wedding. Napoleon exhorted
his soldiers to sleepless vigilance with
the command: "Sleep with the owls
and get up with the larks."

GRAPHITE MINED IN AMERICA.

Capitalists in Nashville and Chatta-
formed a corporation for the develop
ment OF extensive graphite deposits
in Coosa county, Alabama. They ex-
pect to be able to sell all the graphite
they can take out for from $240 to
1926 a ton, at least while the war con-
tinues. This has caused some of the
people in Worcester county, Mass, TO
consider the feasibility of resuming
operations on what is known as the
old Sturbridge mine, which years ago
yielded graphite at 81 a ton.
Graphite, or ~plumbago. is almost
pure carbon, and is used in the manu-
facture of crucibles. r%etorts, foundry
facings, stove polish. pipe-joint COM
pounds. and lead pencils. Deposits
of it are also known TO be in Penn
sylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
North Caroline. Tennessee and Texas.
Prior to the war, the worlds product
amounted annually to somewhat over
100.0 900 tons. of which considerably
more than one-third was consumed
by the United States. while only 5000
tons were mined here.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion as to the practicabiiity of de-
v~eloping the graphite industry to a
greater extent in this country through
the fundamentally of a protective
tariff. Republicans in framing their
tariff laws have heretofore taken the
ground that our dependence on for
eign material has been so great as
not to justify a Ia ON a raw material
so little produced here. In this re-
spect they appear to have been guided
by the arguments of the crucible COM
panies who believed that 200 tons of
fake graphite, used in crucibles, was
a high estimate of our annual pro-
duction.
On the other hand, several graphite
companies have insisted that, granted
protection from the coolie labor of
Ceylon. whence M our chief gra-
phite supply, production here would
develop to a point which would render
us more Independent OF foreign sup
ply. The Singalese get from Is to 80
cents a day for mining the product.
Edward Owings Towne, of the An
selma Graphite company. has de-
clared that "a protective tariff would
greatly aid and stimulate the graphite
mining and milling industry" and
would open idle mines. The president
of the Imperial Graphite company es-
timafed a loss of $12. 900. 900 In three
or four years because of inability of
u mines to compete with this coolie
labor.
But the war has co~nclusively shown
that, given the market the industry
will begin to expand in this country.
And this brings up for consideration
the steps which the British govern
mer has taken. through cooperation
aucHg its territories, to control the
wcrlI market in raw materials. Today
esa 50 per cent OF our graphite is.
