For framing a single photograph for
the wall novel idea is to place it III
the upper part of a moderately large
mat When the picture is in sepja, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the
frame brown or gold When the photo
graph is gray the mat should be also,
with a gray or gold frame, A wide
gray frame sometimes takes the place
of a mat.
The back board may be covered with
harmonious plain material; a wire
easel may be bought for trifle and at.
tached to the back through slit made
just to fit its clamp. The back is in

IMPORTANT TO Be ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men Of Affairs Ar.
range Their Business on Punctu-
aIty as Safe Guide.

A young Kentuclian lost big for
tune by being 90 minutes late in keep
ing a business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald,
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that IS coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up TO the mark,
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But it also is the affair OF
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con.
clude that his time Is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when ii does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is Of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but ii
can be done, and it is worth while to
do ii.
Great business men have this habit
Men Of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance OF
saving it by being prompt.

inkling Of a higher law did reach his
mind before the end
But if it did, it was only momen-
tary flash of insight.
He felt the cold embrace of the leath-
cry bodies. He heard the swapping
jaws. He was torn from his hold,
Shrieking, and tossed into the air, from
beast to beast. His cries were so fren-
zied that they even reached the ears
Of those who watched on the shore.
He Shrieked and fought, but he had
as much chance for life as primitive
man caught by a herd Of dinosaurs,
For a few moments his bobbing body
was visible, grotesquely sprawled upon
the reddening waves. Then it was rent
limb from limb.
1t disappeared, and fighting over
their prey, the sea devils played the
last act of their own drama. They fell
upon each other. II was the tragedy
of the hive-the annual massacre of
the drones; only they were all drones
Nature had no more use for them, now
that their queen was gone.
Never had such a spectacle been
seen by man before The entire face
Of the inland sea was a tumult OF
fighting monsters. The dead grew into
visibility as they became thicker. The
floating patches Of white almost OBJ
scured the waves. And still the fight
became more frenzied.
They tore each other and them
selves, they dashed the waves int
foam; animal debris foated from enc
to end of the ford As the dead drift
ed toward the shore the struggle be
came more furious in the heart Of tht
sea.
Gradually it subsidized. The last O

Donald's arms, while he and Davies
worked frantically to revive her.
Davies raised his head at last and
looked at Donald fixedly. Donald re-
fused to meet his gaze.

PLANTATION" Donald replied Il cant
soc why we shouldn't have. It's TOO
rrepostcrous-all that about the sea
devils and that harmless crank Mac
Beard, who used to have newspaper
rows with poor Old Masterman. AS
likely as not Wen see him haunting
the Inventors club when we get back,
quite ignorant Of the part he has
played in our lives. You know dreams
do do that-they put inconsequential
people into absurdly important posi-
| tons"
"But-hang it. Donald, how does
Miss Kennedy happen to be here?'
"Why, wasn't she on board the Be
otia?" Donald replied. AT any rate
if it's all true, what have we got to
show for it?"
He had placed his arm across his
breast, and at that moment he felt the
crlnkle of dampened paper in his inner
pocket. He pulled out-the two pages
of Masterman's letter.
Donald unfolded it. 1t was quite
1 legible. in spite of the stains of sea
water; but now for the first time he
realized that he held not one page, but
two. They had become stuck together
/ in some manner, and Donald had not
! perused the second page.
1t was IN the form Of postscript
and was the last sheet Of the original
manuscript, which Masterman, in his
characteristic way, had inserted after
the first. He had written
But thank God, Donald, my boy man
will triumph after all. ! thought the mon
sters were invulnerable, that nothing
could oppose them. But the Lord knew
what he was doing when he made them.
There will be only three weeks OF suf-
fering for man, Donald-threc weeks.
For the creatures live for their queen,
they can hardly be said to have indepen-
dent life. They are sterile like the bees,
and the queen has life-spdn of three
weeks alone. When she dies the old
swarm destroys itself. II the queen can

The letter rambled on, but Donald
without finishing it, handed it to Da
vies, who read it and gave it back.
"If MacBeard had known that" HI
began.

mathematcally, but he ignored thu

SHIPPING BOARD
BARES FIGURES
SENATORS ASK
Shows that l85 Vessels Have
Been Launched with lO3
Now in Service.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Exact
figures on the progress Of shipbuilding
in the United States were made public
last night by the shipping board as a
result Of debate in the Senate. during
which officials said statements had
been made based on inaccurate infor-
nation.
Since the shipping board began its
work 1873 vessels have been launched,
OF which 103 have been completed and
put into service. The launchings we're
divided between 165 requistioned ves-
sells and twenty.three which we're built
on contract for the shipping board In
yards that were constructed for the
purpose or which had only just been
put into operation. Eleven OF the
launchings were wood, all the remain
der being steel.
Twelve contract steel vessels have
been launched and three OF them com
pleted. Three Of $500 tons were
launched at Los Angeles, two of 9.400
tons at Oakland, four of $500 tons at
Seattle. one of 11.700 tons at San Fran.
cisco and two of $500 tons at Great
Lakes port.
It was pointed out that when the
shipbuilding appropriation became
available last June all the ways in the
United States were filled with ships
building for private or foreign account.
These were taken over under inter-
national law.

WASHINGTON

One OF the most thrilling and brill
liant photoplays that has ever been pre-
scented is now at the Washington
theatre, and certainly no one should
miss seeing it. 1t is entitled "The
Moral Law" and Gladys Brockwell,
the William Fox star, has done the
best work of her remarkable career in
it. Naturally there have been crowds
attracted by this happy combination Of
star and thrilling drama.
Miss Brockwell has done consistent
ly good work up to this time, but not
until now has she been given the op-
portunity that is found in the dual role
that she enacts in this exciting and
wonderfully interesting play. With
the parts of two sisters in her hands,
she displays characters and feelings
that are as different as can possibly be
