First Settlement on Manhattan.

The first habitations Of white men
on the island Of Manhattan were erect

skyscraper at Al Broadway. A bronze

HIS QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAR
Philadelphia Man Allowed to Practice
Law Because He Could Make
Excellent Chicken Salad.

There has been a radical change In
the method of examining students for
admission to the bar in Philadelphia
from the practice of a generation or
two ago. Recently the state examin-
ers held an examination, and the stu
dents found that considerable knowl-
edge of both the theory and practice
of the law was essential.
This, in theory, might always have
been the case, but in practice the ex-
animation was less thorough in the old
days.
There is a story of Edward D. In
graham, n of the leaders of the Phil
adelphia bar sixty years ago, who was
an examiner as well as a noted wit,
Indeed, his capacity for Jokes was al
most as great as his capacity as a law
yer and as a speaker.
In those days there were not
enough students to hold o formal ex-
animation, and the appearance, man.
ner and character of the student him
self had a great deal to do with pass
ing him for admission.
~ OAS ONNdoAOh u JOuuS HUH, IUd
son OF a wealthy Philadelphian and
known as a good liver and more or less,
a man about town, appeared before
the lawyer, who was acting as one of
the examiners.
Mr.. Ingraham knew perfectly well
that the applicant had no intention of
praiticing law. He merely desired to
acquire a profession in o graceful, easy
manner.
Consequently, Ingraham asked him
only n question.
Mr.. Co." he said, after the appli.
cant had been shivering In apprehen.
sion of the result, "how do you make
chicken salad?"
Not realizing the purport of the ques-
ton, Mr.. G. answered naturally and
with superior knowledge on the sub
ject.
Perfectly satisfactory" said Mr..
lngraham, Il will sign your certificate
with great pleasure"
But n can not pass so easily in
these times, or every cook could be-
come a member Of the bar.

TO SAVE FUEL IN
HOT AIR FURNACE
Rules Given Out by U. S. Fuel
Administrator for Illinois.

Joseph Harrington, United States
fuel administrator for Illinois, has is
sued the following rules for handling
hot-air furnaces, steam and hot water
plants in the interest of fuel economy:
1. Check draft in stovepipe near the
turn damper, as this controls largely
the rate at which the fire burns, de-
pending not at all upon the opening
and closing of the coaling door.
2. The turn damper should fit loose
ly within the pipe, same to be kept
partly closed in all mild periods
opened wide in the cold.
3. Use slide damper in coaling door
only for elimination of gases from soft
or bituminous coal after the addition
of fresh fuel.
4. Turn extra air into pipe for
checking of general draft, same fur
nishing necessary oxygen for the con-
sumption of gases. Open only draft
in ashpit door for more rapid burning.
8. Heat pipes in cellar thoroughly
wrapped to prevent loss by radiation.
6. With CRATES fiat a short, quick
stroke Of shaker for Sitting of ashes,
with glow only to be shown in most
severe weather.
z. Avoid poking of fire bed to save
the causing of draft holes.
8. Additional coal to low fire be-
fore shaking.
8. Storm windows and storm doors
for economy.
10. Temperature generally at 6S de-
gress or less, except for invalids or
children. Unoccupled rooms cooler,
with use Of thermometers recommend
ed.
II. Wasteful to allow unusual drop
of temperature at night.
II. Bedrooms should carry lower
temperatures than ones used for gen.
eral living.
13. Two pans or jars of water at
registers or radiators for moisture in
home.
IA. Study system for your home,
fuel economy serving to warm the

that first glimpse and he realized that
a world with women in 1t was a good
place to get back to, His nurses hands
were slim and caressing and her hair
waved softly about her smooth brow.
Treadgold wondered If he would event.
ually find himself in love with her.
He was, in fact, drifting in that d.
rection when, during a dull afternoon
in the hospital. he heard the trailing
melancholy of a voice. Instantly
Treadgold knew that 1t was the same
voice augmented in sweetness and TIM
Der that had quickened his lethargic
pulse-far back in America. For
America seemed frightfully distant to
~Treadgold after the smoke and fire Of
battle and the long lapse from con-
seriousness.
He looked eagerly at his nurse.
"Whose voice is that 1 hear?" he
asked her.
The nurse smiled at his excitement,
scented a romanc and told him all
she knew.
"Her name is Ida McVicker, and
she is the niece of our staff surgeon.
She was pining away by inches, 1t
seems, in America because she couldn't
do anything when all her brave coun-
trymen were going off to fight"
"But how did she ever get over
here?" burst out Treadgold, "from a
cottage with roses"
The nurse smiled again. 1.-THE or
ganizer Of a concert party heard her
singing and thought her voice held
the appeal that our wounded boys
would appreciate and-here it is. She
sings every afternoon and evening and
any other time when her voice is need
ed. She's happy ~now-happy as a
lark. It's wonderful what doing a lit
tie good to others does for oneself"
added the nurse.
Treadgold then made a headlong,
steady dash right into the heart of a
world of feminity. He demanded to
see Ida McVicker then and there.
When she stood beside him and
looked with those wistful eyes straight
into his face a deep, happy flush
mounted her cheeks and Treadgold
knew that recognition was there. APP
parently she had not gazed unseeing-
ly nor unfeelingly at him when he had
daily passed her cottage gate.
"Little Sad Eyes," was what she
thought he said by way of greeting,
but she was never quite sure about it.
There was so much unexpected emo
ton expressed in the wonderful meet
ing that words didn't really count.
Treadgold had always known that
love would completely swamp him
when 1t came, and he told Ida so be-
fore many moons had passed over that
region of the world.

Stellite, Metal That viii
Not Rust-Hardness and
Other Qualities of Steel

Everybody knows that metals under
go changes through the influence Of
oxygen and moisture from the air
these two bodies being always ready
for chemical business. Therefore, as
everybody also knows, steel knives and
other familiar utensils require contin-
ual cleaning because they rust so cas-
lily. Steel Is even more susceptible to
rust than iron.
The chemists problem in this cass
has been to make a metal which Is per-
manent and will not rust, having, at
the same time, the hardness and other
qualities of steel. That is, a metal as
mobile" or permanent as gold and as
hard and strong as steel.
Elwood Haynes, a member of the
American Chemical society, relates in
MeIallurgical and Chemical Engineer
ing of a long series of experiments
which he made during a period of
many years, especially in alloys of CO.
bait, chromium, tungsten and molybde-
num-. He finally succeeded In making
some of these metals so hard that they
can scratch any steel in existence. He
has given the name stellite to the Sc
RIGS. Stellite may be indefinitely heat
ed without showing oxidation, except
for the fact that the surface takes on
a permanent blue color. Lathe tools,
milling cutters, saws, drawing dies,
boring tools, drills, ETC., have been
made from ~Stpllitp as we'll oS Surpipal
and dental instruments which have
been placed on the market. Table
spoons and small spoons of stellite
have been in use for six years and
they may last, 1t appears, for a thou
sand years more without furnishing.

TAKE lT FROM FATHER

Son, I haven't much to tell you. I have
learned that good advice Is
A prescription which but few of us will
take,
And my long and windy arguments
might forsake you in a crisis
And besides you've got your w ca
reer to make;
I have just this bit Of counsel which may
help you go the distance
With no useless or unnecessary stop,
AS you mingle in the melee of the strug-
gle for existence
Don't you ever try to argue with a cop!
There are plenty of adventures which a
man may get away with,
Though the world proclaim them hope
less from the start;
You may find a whirring buzz-saw is a
pretty thing to play with,
And at times a Bengal tiger has a
heart;
Youth is always doing wonders and for
evermore achieving
While the sages sneer and prophesy
a flop;
But there are some final limits, it's a
fact that's worth believing,
So don't ever try to argue with a cop!
You might swim the whirlpool Rapids,
you might butt your way through
granite,
You might set the Mississippi all
aflame;
But debating with policemen-take a tip
from dad. and can it
For the issue is infallibly the same;
You are licked before you've started
with o futile protestations,
So just do the way he tells you, on
the hop,
And unless you " q fancy Cor a jail's
accommodations
Don't you ever try to argue with a cop

Post.

Why ButtOned Shoes Have Passed.


Every m with her eyes open
must have noticed that button shoes
are little worn, and no doubt the fact
that lace shoes are as a general thing
neater and trimmer and more easily
kept in condition has a good deal to
do with this.
The fact that button shoes use more
leather than lace shoes is the big rea-
son behind their disappearance from
fashion, say those who know. 1t does
seem a very little leather to save,
doesn't 1t? But then this is the day
when we appreciate the Importance of
very small things; the saving of a slice
of bread a day, a lump of sugar or a
half pound of meat-trihes that we are
assured amount to enormous proper
tons In the aggregate.

What 1t Costs Uncle Sam
to Draft Men Into Army

Figures compiled from the records
of the last draft show that it cost the
government almost exactly So for each
man drafted. All but seven cents of
this amount represents the expense of
the draft boards. In comparison with
this 1t is interesting to learn that the
volunteer system of recruiting cost
$24.48 per mar in 1914; $19.14 in 1915,
and $28.95 between July, 1916, and
April, 1917. These latter figures, how
ever, included the recruits travelling
expenses and the cost of his subsist-
ence prior to acceptance.
