master of Bethlehem steel works, has
no more patience with the man who
works by the time clock than has
Adam Bede with his fellow workmen
who dropped their tools at the souIe
Of the whistle. In his book Succeed
Ing With What You Have" he writes:

where misfortune hit a man because he
worked overtime. Not long ago man

The British Manicure Lady.

'Tn English barber shops you do not
have to pay for mirrors, deliberately
tiled floors and a manicure girl" writes
Homer Croy in. Everybody's. "Over
there a manicurist is considered the
last vocable in the way Of smartness.
The manicure girl hasn't the run of
the shop there as she has here. She
has a little cage down in one corner,
where she is bottled up as If she were
a rare liquid. When a man wants to
have any light Homework done on his
hands he thrusts one Of them through
the bars, while the proprietor hurries
up with a newspaper for him to read.
In America we would be tnsulted If
the owner Of the shop put something
into our hands to read while the mani
cure girl was working on us. In Eng
land the art Of jollying the manicurist
is unknown"

lie Starvation Point.

To the question, If there were O
siege. how long 90 you think the sol
diers and civilians could live after the
food supplies gave Out?" an English
paper answers: Science tells us that If
he can get drinking water an ordinary
man can exist for thirty days without
food. At the end of that time the ma
chinery OF the body will not be spoiled
and can be brought back to its former
strength by careful feeding.
About a quarter Of our body weight
Is fat. and it is mostly this fat that is
absorbed as feed during the period Of
starvation. We can absorb and burn
ND our muscles until 60 per cent Of
their weight is gone. We can do the
same with from so to 40 per cent Of
our livers and digestive organs and 20
per cent Of our lungs. Our hearts can
lose 10 per cent and our brains and
nervous systems can lose 8 per cent.
It viii be seen that the more vital
organs-brain and heart-yield least Of
their valuable substance for the life Of
the body, while the less essential sub
stances-fat, muscle fiber, etc.-are con-
sumed first.

Roam For Thrift.

our money and how little we lay up fol

Statistics show that ninety-fve OF

the age Of sixty are dependent upon
their daily. earnings or on others fol
support. The total, Of course, includes
wives, mothers and daughters who had
not tried nor expected to accumulate q
competency. But after they are elm

His First Golf Play.

d. Chandler Egan's first golf was
played on a three hole course in a
pasture back of his fathers house, at
Highland Park, Ill. The former cham
pion and his brother laid out the links,
then invited their cousin, Walter, to
teach them the game. The latter tee
ing up ball on the first, hit 1t straight
down to the broomstick which served
as q flag pole. The ball bounced along
the uneven green and disappeared in
the hole. Turning to his astonished
gallery, he remarked:
'There, you see, it is very simple.
That is the way you do it"
Chandler Egan tried, but didn't sue
coed, and although he won the amateur
title twice, he claims he was never
able to equal tie wonderful drive his
cousin made that day.-Golfers Maya

Eyes of Rubber.

Artificial eyes of rubber are taking
the place Of the old style glass optic
In Europe. The rubber eyes have the
advantage Of being unbreakable, and
as they are of pneumati. construction
they maintain an elastic contact be-
tween the eyelids and the back Of the
orbitary cavity.
To make the new rubber product a
cast formed of liquid plaster is made
Of the orbitary cavity, and from this
Is constructed an eyebaI, the face be-
ing Of vulcanite. The front and back
parts are made of soft rubber, there
being a space between the two parts
which is occupied by air, making
the eyes pneumatic.-Popular Science

A Motorcar Race In 1895.

In 1895 a few enthusiastic "horseless
carriage" manufacturers decided that
the time was ripe for a race. As we
look back at 1t now the contest was q
mechanical jest. The vehicles started
bravely and then stopped lamely while
their drivers made repairs. One In
ventor followed his mechanical wonder
with a team Of horses. The winner of
the race had averaged the mad speed
Of seven and one-half miles an hour.
bis engine, carefully tested after the
feverish contest was over, was found
to develop an amazing four horsepower.

ENGLAND CALLS FOR
MOBILIZATION OF WOMEN
BY FRANK GETTY.

LONDON. Feb. 1O.-(By MaiD -
England wants 10000 more women for
her second line of advance-the mu-
milton factories.
The first appeal, sent out by the
Ministry Of Munitions. early this
month, which called for 5000 women
was Immediately met. Today in max
ing "a big squirt for the last phase
that will carry the men at the front
INTO victory" the Ministry wants
10000 more.
we want rich and poor alike for
this final effort" an official at the Min
istry of Munitions told The United
Press. In the early days of the war
women with means were asked to
stand TO ono side to let working and
professional women who had to earn
their livings give service. Now we
want all classes to come forward and
help in the making OF munitions, so
that every woman can say in the near
future that she has done her share"
I'VE have found that physical quail
tiles are no longer necessary for the
work AS long as the volunteer has
delicacy Of touch she belongs to the
right type"
Women are at work now in all the
danger zones and through their hands
entirely munitions go from raw ingoi
to- the finished article. They do the
testing. overlooking, packing. sealing
lorrying, and actually place the goods
in railway trucks for the front"
