Violin Eas Cylindrical Body,

An entire departure from the con-
ventional lines Of violin construction
has been made in an instrument for
which patents have recently been
granted to an Illinois inventor, Rob-
ert L. Yeakey. The body Of the vio-
lin Is cylindrical in form. However,
the sound post and bass-bar in a mod
lied form are necessarily retained.
The instrument is provided with a chin
rest SO shaped as to be extended lat
orally while in use aad of folding
against the instrument when not in
use.
The appearance of Tho violin is most
extraordinary, but ST is said that the
quality ana volume Of tone is the
equal of that found tu handmade vio-
Inns OF conventional construction. The
peculiar form involves 8 simplihcatI0u
in the mode Of manufacture and adj
mlts OF instruments being made al
most wholly by machinery, while still
possessing excellent tone quality.

Risino Curve Of Human Energy

As q matter Of health, it VIII be much
better to begin the day earlier and end
1t earlier. Humanity has a definite
cycle Of physiological changes that take
place during the twenty-four hours. In
the early morning, temperature, pulse
and respiration are lowest, but begin
TO rise. They reach a maximum in the
early evening hours, between four and
six, and then begin to descend again.
It is on the rising curve of human
energy that the days work ought TO
be done. Rest should be as far as pos
sible during the hours when the cycle
Of energy is on the descent. The pro-
posed scheme for daylight saving
would bring Us back 70 be more in ac-
cord with the human physiological
cycle in the twenty f8nr hours than is
true at present.

HEAD AND BRAIN 1T HOUSES

Every boy has q head tOpsidc his
neck. This head was not put there
by accident, nor as ornamental bric-
a-brac. says The American Boy. OF
course. the head, being equipped with
= face, is useful as a means Of ldcnti-
fication, but If that was all 1t was
good for what would be the use Of
identifying you? Nobody would care
q rap whether you were Pete or jim
or the Lid that lives over the bakery.
The real purpose OF the head is to
be q packing case for The brain. and
the brain is "a machine Dor the manu-
facturo of thoughts So you want to
learn how to run it and how to keep
It clean and well oiled You want to
learn how to use it, no matter what
comes up-in an emergency just as
well as in contest to guess how many

heap of difference between thinking

AN APPEAL TO
EMMETT WOMEN

An urgent appeal comes from
France saying we must have surgical
dressings, our offer of million
pounds a month being declared not
enough. In order that Emmett
might help fill this demand, the Ma
sonic lodge donated the use of the
three front rooms of their fine new
building to the Red Cross. Mrs. Ca
ruthers of Boise is donating her time
and energy for two weeks to the in
struction of a class who when they
receive certificates will be able to
carry on this branch of the work as
teachers. Their examination will be
given next Saturday, twelve lessons
constituting the course. This class
having worked extra hard has taken
it in IL days, the urgent need for in
structors requiring that volunteer
workers to the number of so are want
ed to work in two shifts, afternoons
p. m. to p. m. and evenings to 10,
leaving the forenoon open for an
other class which will be started as
soon as any one is authorized to teach.
For the present the rooms will be
open only Monday and Wednesday
evenings.
If you can work but one afternoon
or evening week come in and regis
ter for that time so those in charge
can arrange to keep the tables full.
We have three large boxes to fill
each one holding 1000 dressings which
must be accurately cut, folded, counted
and wrapped into neat bundles, then

requiring so pajama suits, 100 bed
shirts and % blanket bath robs.
Almost every woman not an invalid,
or not tied down with small children
can arrange to give day of hours
per week, not necessarily consecutive
ly, to their country. 1t is to be hoped
some one of the different clubs or
church societies will occupy this room
each afternoon. Individual workers
are wanted too; come up and sew if
only for an hour. After you have
made garment that passes inspec-
ton, this cut work may be taken
to your homes, many preferring this.
If neither of the above lines of work
appeal to you there is still the knit
ing of socks and sweaters, and there
is yarn at Mrs. Carpenters for 25 more
knitters which should be taken out
at once and the work pushed with all
your might, as the zero weather of the
East makes these knit articles great
