"Eaoles" in Currency.

American gold coinage, eagles, half
eagles and quarter-eagles of the value
Of $40, SIS and $3.50, respectively, were
first placed in circulation 125 years ago,
December 6, 1892. Since that date the
United States mints have turned out
in the neighborhood of 150,0O0,0O0 dou-
BILE eagles, or $40 gold pieces; over 5O,-
100000 eagles about 1G0,000,000 half
eagles and some 100000 quarter
eagles. One and three-dollar gold
pieces were formerly coined, but they
were discontinued in $780, The first
coin called an eagle was used in Ire
land in the thirteenth century, and was
so called from the figure of an eagle
impressed upon it, but it was made the
base metal. The standard of the eagle
was borne by the ancient Persians, and
the Romans also coined gold and silver
eagles as ensigns, and sometimes rep
resented them with thunderbolts in
their talons. Charlemagne adopted the
double eagle as the standard of the
holy Roman empire. The eagle was
the standard of Napoleon I and Napo-
leon III, and is today the standard OF
Austria and Prussia, while, before the
revolution, Russia also claimed it.

THE ELEPHANTS.
~ MARY GRAHAM BQNNEK

''Mr. Jock Elephant was a very
smart animal,'' commenced Daddy.
He had a fine memory as most Of
the Mr.. Elephants have and was real
" a good deal brighter than Mrs.
Jock Elephant.
s@They had two fine children, one was
a boy elephant named Ted and the
other a girl elephant, only two months
old, named Tillie.
''Now Mrs. Jock Elephant had been
very cross for a whole month after Til
lie had been born. She had been so
afraid something would happen to her
beautiful elephant baby that she was
angry with everyone else who spoke
to her and who took her attention
away from her baby.
''Mr Jock Elephant remembered that
Mrs. Jock behaved the same way for
a month after Ted had been born. She
was so jealous and so careful of her
babies; she loved them so much that
no harm must come to them. And for
a whole month there was always dam
ger. After that they were stronger

selves.
"Mrs. Jock Elephants home was in
the zoo and the keeper took excellent
care of her and of her family But
still she behaved just as she would
have acted if she had been out in the
jungles where she would have guarded
her baby so carefully. The keeper
knew this and understood how she felt
so he was kinder to her than ever.
"But the time was past for Mrs.
Jock to be cross, and once more she
was very pleasant. They had a fine
meal one day of water and hay which
they like above everything else and to
show how much they appreciated it,
they began doing their tricks for the
keeper.
'sNot only did the keeper watch
them, but many children who were in
the elephant house and who saw that
the elephants were about to perform,
came over and watched them. Mr..
and Mrs. Jock Elephant had many fine
tricks. Ted had learned a number Of

Sail-Drjyen Vehicles.

Sail-driven vehicles have been in
use in China for many centuries, but
their use upon the fine roads Of
France is rather q novelty. Some Of
the French avfators, in their eager
ness to devise moderately exciting
method of spending their leisure time
while on rest leave behind the lines,
built for themselves a sail-drfven We
hicle out Of parts of German airplanes
that had been brought down by them.
They utilized part of the framework
for the body of the vehicle, put it
upon pneumatic wheels taken from
German machines, and to the slender
mast upon the front truck they at
tached a sail patched together from
canvas stripped from the wings of a
captured German airplane. Other
French aviators followed their exam
pie and soon exciting races in such
peculiar vehicles became a recognized
sport among the daring flyers enjoy
ing a brief respite from their arduous
work at the front.

Once More She Was Very Pleasant
them for the keeper taught them lots
Of things in his elephant school and
Ted was going up to a higher class
every day.
''The elephant school is the school
the keeper started in which he taught
the elephants to do tricks, for it would
be of little use to the elephants If they
were taught to do sums and to write
and read. No one can quite think Of
an elephant sitting up with a pair OF
glasses before his eyes and trying to
hold book before him with the aid
Of his trunk
Besides very few books would in
terest the elephants if they could read
except books on hay. and there aren't
many written on that subject.

and the keeper calls his time for show
ing them how to do the tricks his les
son time. You know that in a circus
they have a school for the different
kinds of animals and they have les
sons every morning. If they didn't do
their lessons well they wouldn't be able
to give such fine performances.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jock were looking
forward to the summer when they
would take real baths instead of the
oil ones the keeper had given them
through the winter to keep their skin
from cracking.
"One of Jocks best tricks was the
way he could catch pennies which were
thrown to him. He put them in lit
tie bank in his cage and every time he
did this he rang bell which the keep
er gave him. And when he is given
peanuts he is very wise, for he takes
as many as he can get and holds them
In his trunk if he hasn't time to eat
them all.
'sHe had his toe nails cut the other
day, for when an elephant Is in the
| jungle he keeps his nails in good con-
dition by going over rough ground.
They find plenty of oil in the marshes
for their skin, and they harden their
| feet by rough stones, which the keeper
tries to take the place of with sand
paper.
"When they drink they use their
mouths, which of course is what all
sensible folks and animals do-in fact
[ believe everyone drinks that way.
But then, you see, elephants have long
trunks and we often wonder just how
they can manage.
"They throw their trunks over their
heads when they drink OF course
they get their food to their mouths by
the help of their trunks.
"And tomorrow, for a treat, we're
going to see Mr.. and Mrs. Jock and
their two children in the zoo, so I've
told you lots of secrets about them. I"

with delight.

The problem of housing then, is, first
of all, one for the employer.
The problem is also one for the COM

is the banker. But merchants should
also be interested, as we'll as the own

Country Faces New Conditions.
There is, however, a larger and more
important phase of the problem than
any thus far considered here. The
new world contract which has been
thrust upon us within the last few
years brings an obligation to create a
new, more beautiful, more efficient,
more glorious America. The founda-
ton of that America must be labor ;
well paid, contented labor; and only
such labor can be depended upon in
the period of all-inclusive readjust-
ments and reconstruction which may
be thrust upon us at any time by the
end of the world war. Proper hous-
ing, housing that, no matter who the
laborer or what his habits; creates the
permanent home sense, will be an i'm

GRAY MATTER AND CLOTHES
How a Smart Girl Copied Hat She
Saw in Shop Window, Making a
Most Clever Reproduction.

Read about these two clever things
that one girl did whose allowance for
clothes was nothing what it should
have been, which only goes to prove
that pocketbooks don't always make
smart clothes and that gray matter
has lot to do with it. She saw hat
she liked in a smart shop window. 1t
was tricorn, with the most adorable
trimming cockades on each of the three
sides. But she couldn't afford it. How
ever, she went straightway and bought
a plain silk tricorn and then proceed
ed to copy these fetching little cock
ades. She painted a wooden button
mold with some gilt paint, then covered
1t with some dainty figured chiffon.
The result was that of an enameled
ornament. She then used some long
yellow and black beads, which she had
on hand, and arranged them around the
button as spokeS in wheel, backing
the whole thing with plating of the
folded chiffon.
This same girl did wonders to q
plain blue chiffon blouse designed to
be worn with dark blue suit, but moi
quite dressy enough as it stood when
bought.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

A challenge not only to the sound
judgment, but to the idealism of the
American business man lies in what
has come to be called the industrial
housing problem" Behind these mat
terof-fact words is a world of vital
significance affecting the greater, more
efficient, more beautiful America for
which forward-looking men are begin
ming, in large way, to plan.
The solution lies neither in senti-
ment alone nor in unmitigated business
sense; it is comprehended, however, in
that mixture of the two qualities which
makes for the greatest social value and
personal success in industry.
The practice of providing suitable
homes for workers is in its infancy in
America. England has solved the prob

COVERING THE HAT FRAME
Sure Way of Getting Headgear That
Fits and Is Becoming-How to
Economic on Millinery.

1t is difficult matter usually to COW
er a hat frame so that it looks well.
However you can do this if you go
about it in the right way. If you have
an old hat made on a buckram frame
that is becoming the best thing is to
recover that. Then you are sure. of
a hat that fits and is becoming. You
can cover the brim by making a bias
band slightly more than twice as wide
as the brim, Joining it in circle, fold
ing it lengthwise through the center,
slipping it over the brim with the
raw edges toward the crown-one on
line with the lining and the other
on the edge of the outside crown
and gathering the fullness along both
edges neatly into place.
The lining, which always goes in
after all trimming has been placed,
covers one of these gathered edges.
Now cover the crown letting the raw
edge of the crown piece meet the raw
edge of the brim covering. Over this
joining place neat band of straw
braid. Where the two ends of the
braid meet you can arrange the flower
trimming. Sometimes you can wind
several lengths of straw braid around
the lower part of the crown to make
a band three or four inches wide.

bines comfort with ample space and
general coziness. There is usually a
garden, a breathing space, the mercy
of vines and trees to soothe the weari-
ness from toil-worn senses which too
often do not sense their own needs.
The garden is no less important than
the sanitation, the ventilation-even
more important in many respects than
the house itself.
There is no need to point out the
obvious fact that the competition for
labor in the United States is stiffen-
ing daily. The appeals for conscrip-
ton of labor, the efforts of manufac-
turers to prevent competitive bidding
for labor, the general but usually mis-
taken complaint of labor shortage-all
bear witness to this fact. Far more

Gowns Suitable for All Occasions
and All Ages.
May Be Relieved by Use of CoIored
Lining and Touches of Jet
and Metallic Lace.

With the spring season almost upon
us, nearly every woman will have need
of a smart new evening gown. Some
thing simple and dignified is looked for
in these days of economy, says a
fashion authority, and women gladly
pass up the frivolous frocks of more
prosperous days. Black is tremendous
ly popular for evening wear, but it is
usually frightened by quantities of
fine jet or metallic lace.
One of the loveliest black evening
gowns is made of black tulle over soft
satin. If you have a black satin or
charmeuse afternoon frock, the waist
of which is worn, you can use that to
great advantage. If the skirt is rather
narrow, use it as the foundation.
First make a plain drop skirt of
black net over the satin, reaching down
to the hem. A narrow band of Jet
sewed to the net will give it weight
and make it hang well. A tunic with
four points, also bordered with jet
goes over the net skirt and falls q
little longer than usual.
This tunic can be elaborately en-
broidered in jet beads, or you can buy
black net that is already embroidered
However, it is not difficult to do one.
self, and if white tissue paper is held
under the net, it will not be so hard
on the eyes. Later, carefully rip the
paper away.
The bodice of the gown should bt
extremely simple. Make a plain dart
fitted foundation Of black satin anC
drape the net over it in soft folds
Shoulder straps of jet hold the bodice
while two loops of jet slip over tht
arm. Or. you can make a bodice o.
net with long sleeves fiaring at th'
wrist. A jet land is the only trim
ming on the sleeve.
An interesting note could be giver
this gown by a corsage bouquet of gay
colors. A rich red poinsettia would bt
