THE ETERNAL CIRCLE
(By Ruth Cameron)

There" said the Authorman's
Wife, triumphantly, I'm so glad we're
invited to the Charity Ball"
"Why?" asked the Authorman.
"Therell be terrible crush and the
cards are two dollars and half this
year instead of two dollars-on ac-
count of the war, | suppose"
81 know that" said the Authorman's
Wife. Il shouldn't care for it ordi-
narily. but it's such splendid chance
TO wear my new gown"
The Authorman laughed.
Il don't see anything so funny in
that his wife protested.
q was thinking, dear Madame, of
what you said to me just before you
bought the gown"
Like Flora McFlimsey, She Had
Nothing to Wear.
THAT you had to have it, because
so many important things kept COM
ing up that you needed that kind of
a gown for
We'll, they did,
And now you are planning to go
to something that you wouldn't nat.
urally be interested in SO that YOU
can have chance to wear the gown"
Il suppose that's terribly funny
from masculine point of view" said
the Authormans Wife; "but, as I've
often told you, my sense of humor
isn't masculine"
First She Wants Something to Wear,
Then
my DEAR! said the Authorman. |
as II you needed to tell me. But,
really, can't you see that you're ex.
the whole philosophy of won.
ans attitude toward dress. First she
wants dress to wear somewhere. and
hen she wants somewhere to wear
ne dress. It's an eternal circle.
Which ever way the poor man who
wants to cut the cost of living turns.
lie finds himself shut in by it."
The Authormans Wife retorted
to the effect that the poor
nan who wanted to cut down the cost
i living might sometimes look in his
fgar case instead of at his wifa,s
owns, and the argument became so
PERSONAL that | lost interest in it

s-4 to 21-2 cents in San Fran cisco. The considerable difference between the quotations of Frisco and Seattle is naturally due to the earlier development of the crop in California. As the quotations show declining tendency which will doubtless. be fur ther intensified when the crops of the northwest are fully developed, there appears no particular reason for Nomeites to fear that they will be compelled to pay the present high price for more than q short period. Every indication points to a speedy and very decided drop in the outside potato markets which will not be without effect on the local price. A decline of from ? 1-2 to 31-4 cents in the short period from June 1 July 12, the date of the lowest of the above quotations, indicates clearly that still larger declines may be expected by the end of August and possibly be- fore. When one remembers that po- tatoes were selling for as high as 61-4 cents in the Seattle market when the first local shipments were pur- chased, a short time prior to the sailing of the first boats it does not appear that the present quotations
 
 decline in the outside markets is un- deniable assurance that the local price will undergo very decided chaneg as fall approaches.

The Valdez. which sailed some time back also carried a total or sixty tons of tin concentrates.

 During the past year the company has laid increasing emphasis upon the importance of it's relations to its em- ployes.
 In April the company insured the lives of all employees who had been in continuous service for more, than six months, snder a graduated plan be- ginning at $500 and increasing $1OO an- nually to $1 900 at the end of five years of continuous employment. The poli- able Live Assura Society covers the lives of about 1000 out of 900 em- ployes and aggregates more than $1-- 800 900. In the five months since the deaths have occurred, representing claims amounting to s6,70o. The ex- pense of group insurance" is wholly borne by the company. The directors feel covinced that as time goes on the value of the group insurance" will be- come more apparent and will be re- dected in a greater degree of content ment among the employees, and an in creased tendency toward steadiness in employment.
 Improvements have been made in the housing accommodations for the employees at Sterling. At all plants first aid" and rest rooms have been provided Many improvements have been made in the sanitary conditions with especial regard for the comfort of women employees.

 for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard or lemon juice to remove com plexion olemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard whits this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into 2 bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for D small jar Of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons

Although the dyestuff situation still remains difficult the outlook for the future is hopeful, for the quality and uniformity of American dyes is stead ily improving. Such was the state ment made at the annual meeting of the United States Finishing company held Thursday afternoon in the board room of the Norwich Savigs Society.
 H. B. Thompson president of the company, reported for the board of di- rectors and called the stockholders attention to the fact that at the close of the fiscal year on June soth, 1917 pany had liquidated in full its note and debenture indebtedness.
 President Thompson made the fol- lowing statement:
 time of the change in management in
 Original note indebtedness at the time of the change in management in 1913. was $2,165,O0O. On July 1st, 1916. the company stock owed in notes and debenture bonds s1 255,504.23. This Notes payable September 14th. 1916. S304 152.11; notes payable December 1Ath 1916. ssO4.152.12; debenture bonds March 1st. 1917. $647,2Oe.
 In addition during the past four years. the company's bonded indebt- edness was reduced $552, ,16656 which includes all additions to sinking fund and cash on deposit with trustees.
 The OyeStuff Situation.
 The directors reported further that the dye-stuff situation still remained difficult. although a larger line of colors of American manufacture was now available. The outlook for the future is hopeful, for the quality and uniformity of American dyes is stead lily improving: Prices for dyestuffs still remain abnormally high and in spite of an easing up in the value of heavy chemicals and of. some of the American anilines- the operating costs of the company at the close of the fis- cal year reached their highest point since July. 1914.
 Many changes and improvements have been made at the different plants both in buildings and machinery. At the Norwich branch. for instance, the most important single piece of work has been the building of a concrete settling pond which has added mater ially to the quality and economy of the bleaching. Additions have been made to the dyehouse machinery and to the calendar room.
 Equally important improvements have been made at the other branches at Sterling, Providence and PaWtucket.
 Expenditures in Repairs.
 The expenditures in repairs and plant account. while large. have been made intelligently and have resulted in an improved quality in the work and in a decreased cost of operation. This has offset, in some degree the large advance in cost of operation, in cident to abnormal prices for dye stuffs, coal and labor.
 Plans for future improvements have been halted temporarily, owing to the necessity of making preparation for the payment of the new war taxes these payments must be made in cash. In this connection it is pertinent to call the attention of stockholders to the fact that plans for the payment of deferred dividends on the preferred stock must of necessity. be curtaied. War taxes must be paid in cash and cannot be paid out of the surplus as

some of the rallies where the choruses are to sing, sheets and cards contain ing the words of selected songs will be distributed through the audiences. One
 Of the song collections that is to be used is a pamphlet called Standard Patriotic Songs" of which Ralph M. Baldwin of this city is one of the com pliers. A new patriotic song entitled, Three Cheers For Your Uncle Sam, p will be sung at some of the rallies, and cards containing the words and music of the song have been received by the state musical director.
 Ih order to organize the various Lib erty Choruses as rapidly and as eff ciently possible MT. Stevens has sent to the town committees of the state defense council instructions as to how the choruses can be organized and at first conducted. The first step in organization is to establish a commit tee to have charge of various technical arrangements such as providing a place in which the chorus can hold its W>kly meetings and to appoint en full authority in all matters of mu- s1cal interpretation. Other details of organization and development are ex- plained in these instructions.
 A plan proposed for large cities is to have chorus organized in each school district under separate leaders. Each chorus would develop conlmuni- ty interest and be easily handled. yet when desired all the choruses of a city could be brought together to form 9 mass choir of such proportions and quality as the choruses of New York, Philadelphia and other large cities.
 Gratifying responses have come from many prospective leaders and organ fzers who have been asked to volun- teer their services and several solo, ists have offered to do their bit
