HcTIoN MORE vIRILE TO-DAY.


The literary editor of the New
York Times thinks he discovers a
new complexion in the novels OF to-
day. He says they are different in
theme, different in atmosphere, from
those that were written before the
war, and adds: "The morbid, the
story that hangs on some involved
psychological theory-seems to have
been done away with. Novelists to-
day are furnishing US with books that
have an absorbing plot interest, or
that are based on some striking
theme in history, or that command
attention by their realistic interpre'
tation of life and it's twentieth cen.
fury problems. In other words, our
fiction is becoming more virile, more
alive to the demand Of the reader for
a book that will lift him up into
world of the Imagination that is at
once entertaining and filed with TO
bust realities"

INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY.

Here is suggestion for some live
city, whereby two factories may be
obtained. At the present time the
ukulele craze is sweeping this coun-
try. Any city, by little scouting,
can get factory for the manufac-
ture of ukuleles. Such an institution
would be forced to run day and night
to fill orders. All ukuleles have to
be tested and tuned before leaving
the factory. This would mean uku-
lele music all day and all night. To
combat that, there should be fac
tory for the manufacture of ear
muffs, to be worn by the long-suffer-
ing people of the community. The
ukulele would be shipped away and
the ear muffs would be used by the
home ople.-Exchange.

ALUMINIUM is USED IN SHOES
Increased Service Secured by Making
Parts Most Subject to Wear Out
of the Metal.

Owing to the increase in the cost
of leather, which has been on the up
ward trend for many years, there has
been a demand for some substitute
that will take its place to certain
extent in the manufacture of shoes,
and in some parts of the country
there has been received with favor a
shoe partly made of aluminium, says
the Toronto Star.
The use of leather is not dispensed
with entirely, but the sole and coun-
ter, the parts most subject to wear,
are made of the metal. The hard
usage of shoes comes on the heel and
sole, and in the case of aluminium the
wearer walks on the heel and a rock
er, across the sole of the shoe, which
parts are renewable and may be read
lily replaced without sending the
shoes to the shoemaker.
The new shoes are no heavier than
those of leather, and are said to be
much more economical ON account OF
the increased service secured.

/ Recruiting Officer.

One of the bellhops at the Wall
dorf-Astoria hotel in New York has
one old-fashioned trait-he runs
when he delivers a message. Recent
ly he was delivering one when he lost
his balance, slipped on a rug and fell
under a writing table. There was a
crash, and crashes are unpopular in
the Waldorf. After the boy had been
removed from everything that COW
cred or impeded him, he was led for
several yards to one side by the head
porter, who wished to know as brief
ly as possible what was the big idea.
The bellhop explained that he had
lost his balance while operating with
great speed. swell, no wonder" said
the porter, "look at the heels you've
on; they're four inches high and you
are slanting forward. You can
hardly stand up now. What do you
wear heels like that for, anyway"

WORKERS IN JAPAN RECKLESS
Result Is That Accidents in Mills and
Building Operations Appear, to
Be on the increase.

Accidents in the mills, furnaces,
factories and in building operations
appear to be greatly on the increase
in Japan, according to the Tokyo
newspapers, says East and West. The
Nichi-Nichi every Day. has. set
on foot an investigation, extending
over nearly every branch of opera
tive labor, and the conclusion reached
is that many workmen are dissatis-
fed with their lots. Doubtless,
growing discomfort is due to tales of
fabulous wages paid to working men
and women in munition factories of
the United States and Great Brit
ain. Japan has supplied Russia with
vast quantities of cartridges and
weapons of all kinds, but the wages
of her workmen have not been mate
rally advanced. This is due to the
claim that goods SO supplied to their
ally have yielded only fair profit
that there has not been any attempt
by the Japanese people to "get rich
quickly" The Nich;-Nichi finds that,
due to the uncerta inty of their posi-
tons, japanese vorkmen are prone
to grow reckless. They become un-
steady and are often injured by being
caught off their guard at work.

DEER ATTACK FARMERS WIFE

Deer are so numerous in the

road, back of Allamuchy, pinned her

house. They finished the tablecloth
in peace and we're fighting among
themselves for the line when Mr..
Crawn returned and went at them
with a piece Of burning newspaper.
Most women in that section want
permission to shoot the deer, and
won't hang out clothes unless their
husbands are around to drive away
the animals.
