Guard Your Breath.

"A mans BREATH" says Popular Sci
ence Monthly, SIS often betrayer Of
secrets. He may have been out late,
sitting up with a sick friend, but
when he reaches home his loving wife
at once opens up her battery Of re-
proaches.
"Now comes the news that two in
ventors in Osceola, Ark, have joint
ly invented a breath-guard Of new
pattern. 1t is said to be efficient, but
not in the manner you were thinking
of. 1t Is intended to protect dentists,
BARRIERS and physicians from inhal-
ing the germ-laden breath Of their pa
tients or patrons. 1t consists of q
small curved shield Of glass placed
80 as to cover the nostrils and held in
position by spring clip gripping the
partition wall of the nose on the in
side. Many diseases are directly COM
municated through the inhalation Of
tainted air, and a device Of this kind
should be boon to professional peo-
pie who are compelled, by the nature
Of their duties. to be in close proxim-
ity to those whom they serve"

CUPID NOT IN THIS DEAL
One Case Of covrtship That Was Con.
Quoted Along the strletsst Of
Business Lines.

Everything was strictly business
with August Rinnick. A sign on his
desk said: This Is my busy day." and
a sign above his desk said: There are
quarter Of a million words in the
English language. Be brief"
He regarded his Office force merely
as machines of varying degrees Of ef-
f1ciency, and It was therefore several
months before he realized the luscious
Perch, his stenographer.
But. with August Rinnick, to think
was to act. and. the very afternoon on
which he finally realized, he summoned
Miss Perch into his office.
Miss PERCH" he said, "take let
ter"
And he dictated as follows:
"My dear Miss Perch: 1t has lately
come to my attention that you are a
young woman of exceptional facial en-
bellishments, mental endowment and
moral efficiency. The limited time at
my command will not permit me many
details. but I may mention that since
you nave been In my employ l have
never yet seen you masticating chicle
commonly known as gum-or apply
ing powder to your nose Gan organ
whose extreme delicacy Of contour and
pleasing abbreviation much impressed
me). In short, my dear Miss Perch, the
idea has come to me to endeavor to in
duce you to have your surname legally
changed to Rinnick-in brief, to be-
come my wife. I will cheerfully give
you day to think this matter over,
and shall be pleased to hear from you
at your leisure. Very truly, A. Rinnick." j."
In the next days mail he received
the following reply: "Mr. August Rim
nick: Dear Sir: In reply to yours of
the Both inst, would say that am 9TH
erwise engaged. Very truly, Therly
Perch. h."-EXchange.

QUAINT OLD INDIAN COINS
so Adulterated That They Were Not
Even Accepted In England as
Value In Metal.

In 1908 the independent state Of Hy-
derabad, India, obtained a modern mint
and called In the coins that had been
current up till that time. The old mint
of Hyderabad was little more than q
coppersmith's shop in which scrap cop
per of all sorts was melted up, ham,
mered into plates, cut up into very
rough approximations Of one tola in
weight, and stamped between dies, one
Of which was in the anvil and the 9TH
er in a toll held in tongs. A blow from
a sledge hammer made the impression.
There was no regularity in shape,
weight or stamping. nor was the metal
uniform in quality.
The mint could not furnish supplies
fast enough, and licenses were issued
to coppersmiths to assist in production.
Naturally. the Scientific American
states, nonlicensed persons began to
manufacture, and adulteration with
lead was so fragrant that when several
tons Of these coins were sent to Eng
land rs old metal they were returned
on account Of their impurity and were
finally worked up into brass for local
consumption. A "dub," if held in the
flame Of spirit lamp, would before it
reached red heat begin to discharge
very fine jets resembling mercury; the
lead. having reached It's fusing point,
burst from the copper with force in
dicating very high internal pressure.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls one-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-191S Is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess Of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
the world cane crop. and the Java sug-
ar Is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces In France.
In Java'a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
hraoL ~ hoctilItioS in Furono Fra moo
produced an average Of 1921 ,542 tons of
sugar each year. For 1918 the
French production was 219.416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar In 1917-18
than In 1907, when the total output
was 202, ,415 tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output of
sugar for the i've year pre-war pe-
riod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced In Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufncient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted I'd approx
mately half Of the usual quantity Of
beets harvested.

MRS. NAPIER IN
Y. ". c. A. WORK

Mrs. b. T. Napier of this city has
been selected by the National War
Work Council Y. W. c. A. of New
York City as member of the state
committee of the organization. She
will be the representative from this dis
trict.
The War Work Council, a commit
tee of the national board of the Yonug
Women s Christian Association, is re-
sponsible for using the resources of
that organization in helping meet the
special needs of girls and women at
fected by the war. OF course it is
recognized fact that war has opened
to women Il variety of employ yments
hitherto regarded exclusively as men g
work. Of the nearly ten million women
in the United States at work today,
l 10000 are engaged on "war orders -
These war supplies are for the direct
support of their sons and brothers at
the fighting front. In other industries
Immediately affected by the war, 1,OOO,-
600 more women are facing the neces-
sty of speeding up.' These women
form our second line of defense.
1t is expected that 100000 men
will be in France by the close of the
year. Who is to take the place of all
these!
As we have given our sons to fight
for world democracy, so we shall be
called upon more and more in every
community all over our land to give
our daughters to this great industrial
army in its forward march. Our girls
need proper housing conditions, proper
recreation, to keep them fine and fit
for the fight.
The Y. W. C. A. is backing the girls
with every ounce of energy and every
dollar at it's command. 1t is establish
ing club and recreation work for girls,
including a Patriotic league, now num-
bering 100000 white and colored. 1t
is also providing emergency housing
for employed girls in centers where the
congestion is such as to make proper
housing conditions a difficult problem.
! Establishing hostess houses in or near
army and navy camps is also a work
which the government has requested
of the Y. w. C. A. It's work among
the foreign born women is unique. The
Y. w. C. A. provides translations in
is languages of needed bulletins sent
out by the government. 1t provides
Interpreters in army camps so that the
puzzled foreign soldier, who often has
difficulties at home that he is unable
to straighten because of ignorance of
the language, may send his allotment
to his family and give them other nee
esary help.
In France and Russia as well as even
in far Mesopotamia the blue triangle
has come to mean a definite and valu-
able social service.
