BY THE DOOR CALLED JOHN
Quaker Courtship In Which Woman
Frankly Expressed Herself as Fa-
vorinq Brother Of Wooer.

A few weeks ago the Youths Com
panion reported two or three strange
and amusing courtships of New Eng
land tradition. A reader was moved
to add another to the list-this time
a Quaker one. In small town, OF
which about half the population were
Friends, two brothers, John and 10
seph, shared a farm that adjoined the
property of Sarah, spinster In early
middle life. Both brothers In their
youth had been obvious suitors for
Sarah's hand; but they were slow and
difident, and neither ever reached the
point of proposing. Then an enter
prising and audaciOus young woman,
who belonged TO "the worlds people
somehow extracted proposal from
Joseph-or dispensed with one-ano
married him. After several years OF
matrimony she died, leaving him with
two little girls. As soon as propriety
permitted he betook himself to his
spinster neighbours, and. according to
local tradition, spoke thus:

murely.
"Also, Sarah, / believe thee compe-

Ever See a Dingonekf

, The dingonek is huge, unclassified
aquatic monster, says the Wide World
Magazine. It resembles In many OF its
characteristics the extinct dinosaur, a
huge reptile of the Mesozoic period, fos-
sils of which have been discovered by
paleontologists In the sandstone strata
both of the African and American con-
tinents. 1t lives in Lake Victoria Ny
ANA and it's numerous tributaries and
there is no record of the monster hav-
ing been seen in any other part Of the
world. Whether It Is descendant OF
one of the huge prehistoric saurians
that has by process Of adaptation
living as 1t does in impenetrable re-
yions far away from the encroachments
of civilized man-continued with but
slight notifications through prodigious
ages to the present time, or whether 1t
Is an unclassified reptile or amphibian,
1t is equally impossible to say, as no
specimen exists either of its bones or
of its skin. That this monster does eI-
list, however, there can be no particle
of doubt, as the testimony Of authori-
tative eyewitnesses cannot be reason
ably discredlted.

MT. HELENA FINALLY
TOPPED BY MOTOR CAR
Gasoline Vehicle At Last Conquers
Washington Giant By Climb
ing ROadless Slopes.

For long time it seemed as though
gasoline would never drive motor car
to the summit of Mt. Helena, in the
state of Washington. But it has done
so at last, and the car was left at the
summit of the roadless old giant for
all of one night and most of the next
day, so that the whole city of Helena
might testify to the accomplishment
of the hitherto impossible feat.
Mt. Helena is a peak in the foot
hills of the main range of the Rocky
Mountains. Its summit is approx
mately 5000 feet above sea level. The
CITY of Helena, at the base of the
mountain, has an elevation of 1000
feet.
There is no wheel road to the top of
Mt. Helena, and it is difficult even for
pony to make the ascent. Numer-
GUS attempts have been made to put
an automobile on the mountain top,
and in 1910 it was claimed that car
with special gear ratio made the
climb. However, no one except the
claimants saw the ascent or saw the
car on top of the mountain, and the
story caused no great excitement.
The car which finally made the diff
ficult ascent was a Dodge Brothers
motor car owned by the Helena Motor
Company of Helena. 1t made the climb
from the garage to the rocks on the
summit in As minutes. Four men
rode in the car. At the foot of the
rocks which crown the summit, the
car met loose and stony soil. 1t was
necessary to build up roadway fol-
it. Repeatedly the car slipped back
ward off the track and had to be
blocked up to give traction for the
wheels which were equipped with
driving chains. In the last hundred
feet, the rise was 81 per cent grade
After the car reached the top, it was
blocked in position and remained or
the mountain all night and part of the
next day, in full view of any one IL
Helena who looked toward the noun
tain top. Then it was driven back tt
Helena.

GOVERNMENT BADLY
NEEDS TRAINED MEN.
20, 900 Specialists Wanted in Army and
Navy Civilian Branches.

Washington, D. c., April 25, 1913
How many of us realize what would
become of our forces in France if the
organization at home for producing
the material of war should fail?
Charging armies and laundering bat
tleships are easy to visualize, but not
so easy to accomplish. There car be
no going lover the top no paralyzing
broadsides, unless, to sustain the
blow, there is material in abundance
to back up the human effort.
Right now the civilian branches Of
the Army and Navy are in urgent
need of thousands of highly trained
workers, and before this year passes
these branches must be increased by
at least &c, 1000. The Ordnance De-
partment of the Army needs great
numbers of men who are trained as
mechanical engineers, mechanical and
other kinds of craftsmen, chemists,
metallurgists, and the like. Literally
thousands of inspectors are also want
ed for the work of passing upon the
quality of everything conceivable in
the way of ordnance, ammunition, and
other munitions. For Office work the
Ordnance Department wants a great
many statisticians, accountants, X
perts and assistants in business adj
ministration, and clerks trained in
special lines, such as clerks qualified
in business administration, index and
catalogue clerks, and clerks qualified
in statistics or accounting. The Quar-
termaster Corps of the Army is in
need of several thousand examiners
and inspectors of everything that en-
tiers into the personal and camp equip
ment of the soldier. Passenger and
freight rate clerks are also wanted
in this branch. The Signal Corps of
the Army is short of aeronautical me-
chanical craftsmen. The Navy has
an unlimited number of places for
craftsmen of various kinds and for a
long list of technical workers. Prac-
tically all branches of the service are
in need of stenographers, typists.
bookkeepers, statistical clerks, multi
graph operators, and calculating ma
chine operators.

these civilian positions, urges, as a
patriotic duty, that qualified persons

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobaccotastes
better TOASTED
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is a pipe to-
bacco andLUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like a pipe.

is, in effect a saleby-weight law.
The advantages of this Legislation to the consumer ca best be under
stood when it is considered that under the former dual law of sale either by
weight or standard dry measure, it was entirely optional with the merchant
Just Wilhelm medium of sale he should use in the sale Of Notwithstanding
he took the latter. To illustrate just what effect this had on the pocketbook
Of the consumer, n article of produce can be taken, potatoes for instance
The middleman purchased same by weight, receiving so pounds to the bushe1
dispodng of them, he sold same by standard dry measure, which for the
bushel weighs approximately 55 or Sc pounds, a consequent loss to the pur
chaser of from to 5 pounds which he paid for but didn't receive. And this
applies TO all the dry commodities. 1t has been found from continued obser
walton that no W persons can measure any vegetable commodity and OBJ
tain the sam weight by SO doing. Such lightweight vegetables as spinach,
etc, have in the past been subjects of great discrepancy, as there a no
means of insuring a specific weight for a certain measure of same.
Vast saving to the consumer will be the result of the new law. a it in
sures his receiving full value for the money he spends; and it will work no
hardship or injustice on the merchant for al the latter purchases by weight
so will he sell his goods by weight-and everyone will receive just what is
coming o him, a condition in itself which should promote a better spirit be-
tween the merchant and the purchasing public.

Weights and Measures.

State Superintendent of Weights and Measures, Frank Wanser, assisted
by Passaic County Superintendent Rosenfelt Chairman of the Legislative
Committee Of the New Jersey Association of Superintendent Of Weights and
Measures, drafted a weights and measures bill which has recently been pass

This bill makes radical changes in the penalties for attractions of the
weights n measure statutes of this State and provides for a Jail penalty

Under the provisions of the bill it is also mandatory that when standard
