peat eous o. Ireland.

Ireland possesses 25OOO,OO0 acres Of
peat bog -one-seventh the total area
Of the island. Much of this peat IL
concentrated In the center Of the coun-
try, In the Bog Of Allen, but there are
also large tracts in other localities.
To utilize this peat, not merely for
domestic use, but also for power pur-
poses, is a problem which has exeF-
cised the minds of prominent Irishmen
for many years, and the department
Of scientific and industrial research
appointed a committee, with Sir John
Grifiths Of Dublin as chairman to In
vestigate the whole question. Some
successful attempts have already been
made In Ireland to deal with the sub
stance on a commercial basis, but any
efforts to utilize the deposits must al
ways have regard to three circum-
stances-that peat contains and re-
tains a large amount Of water; that,
compared with other fuels, 1t has a
low calorific value, and that 1t is ex-
tremely bulky, involving high cost
Of carriage.

HOLES IN OTHER STOCKING
ArlstleratIc Customer Und0ne by Inn
patient Clerk, Who Pulled OF
the Wrong shoe.

The aristOcratic and plutocratiO
booking young woman walked into the
downtown shoe store, says the Indian
apOlis News, and demanded a fitting.
demanded was the tone Of voice.
Majestically she lowered herself into
che regulation seat proffered her By
Che manager Of the department and he
assigned Classy Charles, the niftiest
matinee idol in the shop, to the Gus
toner.
The woman began by asking to see
everything that was shown In the win
dow outside. Classy G. started out to
all the order. He did. But none Of the
shoes were good enough for madam's
dainty foot AS the day wore on and
che customer stayed, G. @. began to
Derspire. The other clerks looked on
and grinned. Not that they disliked
Charles, bat, well, there was feeling
among the fellows about him. All this
did not change the expression on Char
ley's face. It remained, that same
winning smile. But finally after about
half the stock had been laid out for In
MpecttOM, the manager whispered to
CAaRleA "Are you that rotten?" Which
made Charles as mad as could be. He
e0rgOt himself. He. violated the first
rule Of etiquette of the shoe clerk.
(No, IL is the second; the first is to
hand out the usual line about the
quality, etc.) He yanked off her left
shoe. 10, and behold, the stocking on,
the left foot was full Of holes II
the right was perfect, what a. flaw.

The clerks gasped. The woman scream
ed. The other boys laughed.
Then with sigh Of it-can't-be-
helped, she remarked: But we wcp't
mind the holes" She bought a pair
OF tennis shoes, high tops, ten minutes
later. '~'@
