length Of deck being ITO feet. The

Article.

1t Is believed that after the war ID
over photographic stone quarried In
Kentucky may be put on the mar
ket as cheaply as the Bavarian stone
which has been the principal source
Of supply for . long time. Small
quantities of the Kentucky stone have
been sold already, but the high cost Of
labor in this country and the dihiculty
q working the stone have kept 1t out
Of serious competition with the foreign
product.
The. European stone occurs In thin
layers, which require little but planning
and polishing after being removed
from the quarry. The American stone
Is In beds from three to ten feet thick
and must be sawed into thin layers be-
fore 1t is ready for use.
The Bavarian quarries have been
worked 80 long that vast piles Of waste
have accumulated TINT must be moved
from time to time, thus adding to the
cost Of production. The American
quarries have found q market for the
crushed refuse from their auarries.
and this by.product helps reduce the
cost.

How 70 k.sp Your FrIsnds.


It is almost impossible to be genuine.
~ friendly with q person who insists
on being too close to you. on knowing
all your thoughts, feelings and affairs,
and on claiming your time and atten-
ton ON the excuse Of affection alone.
The bonds Of true friendship must
be easy and its demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken q sudden fancy to you is
a blind and selfish egotist, in a mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore You intensely, but II you
are q polite and courteous person you
bear with her until she directs her at
tention elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are every
unresponsive." Some women clutch at
every new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have 20 few friends.
The reason il that friendship is not
built on trivialties and wflms, but BY
giving such valuable things as true con-
sideration, real interest and manifest.
ing q decent reserve as to the other
PERSONS confidence and nonconfdines.

A ap.et.e,,d o..

A short time ago, an article was
widely published about . valuable
hunting dog which had been fitted with
eyeglasses for astismatim. Probably
most people who read It, laughed and
thought 1t q fake.
The modern science Of fitting eye
glasses. however. makes It possible to
at dog. or any other dumb animal,
with a lens which will correct Its eye
sight. Up-to-date methods have brought
about the invention Of instruments by
which the error Of the human eye can
be accurately measured. and lenses to
correct the error prescribed without
asking the patient . single question.
The "silent method" II very rarely used
exclusively, however, except In the
case Of the foreigner, or our friend the
dog. when NO interchange Of thought
can be effected and the examiner must
rely entirely upon the findings OF his
Observation-Disclosures Magazine.
