ADAPTED TO MODERN NEEDS
Seeming Proof That Feet of Women
Have Developed With Enlarge
ment Of Their Work.

The different sizes chosen for the
standard boots for women did not APP
parently include size one, which raises
an interesting point, remarks the
Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. Some
little time ago an old curiosity shop
in a country town showed in its win
dow woman's shoe of ancient date.
1t was made of a gray-blue brocaded
silk, with large square-cut tongue
and fastened with buckle. The heel
was very high, made of wood and COW
cred with red-brown leather. 1t was
q beautiful shoe, and might have be-
longed to lady of Marie Antoinette's
court, or even have trodden dances In
the time of our Merry Monarch. But
1t was so extraordinarily small that
900 women would have failed to get
1t on.
The thousandth happened to see 1t,
was fascinated by its appearance, and
asked If she might try it on. 1t fitted
exactly.
Was the normal size foot of that
age the abnormal one of this? One
wonders. And have women's hands,
feet and waists developed 10 suit the
work which nowadays they have to do?

CuIIs as Human Food.

"The flesh of gulls," says one Of the
best-known cyclopedias, ais rank and
coarse" So 1t is. You have only to
shoot gull and cook it to find this is
the case, and that as dinner dish 1t
is a complete failul e.
Yet in Iceland gull flesh Is one of
the principal winter foods Of the peo-
pie. There, in early summer, when the
cliffs swarm with nesting gulls, parties
are organized and men are let down
over the lofty precipices by ropes.
They catch young gulls, which are as
fat as butter. and send them up to the
top in sacks. The moment they reach
the top the birds are skinned. A great
caldron of boiling water is ready and
into this the bodies are dipped and
held for a few seconds. This COM
pletely does away with the fishy taste,
and the birds are then taken home and
hung in smoke until they are thorough
ly dried.
When winter comes they are cooked
and eaten, and are as delicate as any
chicken or game bird. but far more
fat and nourishing.

KING ARTHUR'S ROUND TABLE
Legend of Sir GaIahad and the "Holy
Graal" as Recorded by
English Writer.

Sir Galahad of Tennyson's "The
Holy Graal," was the noblest and pur-
est knight of the Round Table. The
title was invented by Walter Map in
the "Quest of the Graal." Morley, in
his English Writer'S" says Sir Gala
had was the son of Maps L'Ancelot
and Elaine. The son and namesake
of Joseph of Arimathea, Bishop Jo-
seph. to whom the holy dish was be-
queathed, first instituted the Order of
the Round Table. The initiated at
their festivals sat as apostle knights
round the table, with the Holy GRAIL
in the midst, leaving one seat vacant
as that which the Lord had occupied
and which was reserved for a descen-
dant of Joseph, named Galahad. What
ever man else attempted to sit in the
place of Galahad the earth swallowed.
1t was called therefore the Siege
(seat) Perilous. When men became
sinful, the Holy Graal, visible only to
pure eyes, disappeared. On its recov-
cry depended the honor and peace Of
England, but only Sir Galahad, who
was at the appointed time brought to
the knights by a mysterious old man
clothed In white, and placed in the
Siege Perilous-only the pure Sir
Galahad succeeded in the quest.

HOW TO MEET MIDDLE AGE

appreciation of human nature. we
must refuse to be laid on the shelf: we
must keep up with the procession of
human thought. Only so can we see
the sweat, the tears and smiles of our
fellow-creatures.
These are the two tasks of middle
age; If we perform them worthiIy our

squalor and glory of our fellows. If
we do this, the compensation is inn

SO, what difference does il make If
the body is rheumatic and near-sight-

PROVED TRUTH OF OLD ADAGE
Gus Thing" Seems Shown by
This Anecdote.

A certain lawyer of a bygone gener.
alton, Mass Jones by name, had case
before a justice of the peace out In
the country, says Case and Comment.
He was for the defendant, while q
wiseacre OF a schooimaster who had
pickle up a few Latin words, appeared
for the plaintiff.
The ia, were all in the schoolmas-
ter's favor, and in summing up he
would exclaim with great gusto as he
made his points sand that is thu sum-
mum bonum of the matter, and the
case must & to the plaintiff
Mass haS really nc defense. bun his
ready wit ana keen sense of the ridicu.
lous supplied him with one. So when
he came to reply he said to the justice,
81 have great regard for tina old
law of summum bonum, on which the
gentleman wholly relies, for its an
tiquity. 1t was an old English law,
and served well it's day and generation.
But the people finally outgrew 1T and
became dissatisfied with it; and it was
one of the laws England tried to force
upon the colonies.
"But," said Mass, raising his voice
and arm on high, sour forefathers
fought and split their blood in the
Revolution to overthrow that law, and
they did overthrow ii, and then they
reared in its stead the law of plu-
ribus unum, which must govern this
case"
Thereupon the justice said, Il have
a great deal of respect myself for that
old English law, summum bonum. 1t
was good enough for that time, and
good enough for the English, but /
agree with Mr.. Jones that our fore
fathers tumbled that law over in the
Revolution, and this case will be de-
cided in favor of the defendant under
the law of pluribus unum, which
was put in its place"

Attractive Tiled Roofs.

One of the most romantic touches
of old Spain and Mexico is transfer
red to southern California through
the medium of its tile roofs on the
better class of domestic work. The
work left by the old Franciscan
priests in their missions throughout
southern California and mostly done
by the Indians, who were good pot
tiers and who became expert under
the direction of the monks, is the
source of this new departure. 1t is
claimed that the variations In the
tile, making it possible for them to
ct together, was done over the calf
of an Indians leg. the wet clay
being nodded by that method and
then laid aside to dry. The charac-
ter of these old tiles consists not

in close cooperation with an ms sru-
mentality of the Government, proba-
bly, the War Finance Corporation. At
the same time, il would be necessary
to put an end 10 the numerous
schemes, many of them actually fraud
ulent for inducing inexperienced hold
ers of Liberty Bonds to exchange
them for merchandise or property of
less inherent value through carrying
the promise of higher value income
return. In order tina. the Treasury
may be placed in a position to carry
such plans as these into effect, if they
should be found expedient, suggest
for your consideration the present en-
actment of appropriate legislation"
In conclusion | desire to say that it
is inconceivable that any public man,
least of all he who is charged with the
great task of financing the require
ments of the United States in this
war, would impair the negotiability
of the bonds of the United States sold
to millions of people of the United
States and which mus. continue to be
sold to them in order to meet these
requirements. The Secretary of the
Treasury believes it to be imperative
in the public interest that broad
market for Liberty Bonds should be
maintained at the highest possible
price; and while he has urged and
will continue to urge the partiotis
people of the United States not only
to subscribe to the utmose for Liberty
Bonds but to hold the bonds which
they purchase to the full exten. of
their ability, enlisting their dollars
at lesat for the period of the war, he
is fundamentally opposed to any
measures which will impair the mar
reliability of the bonds. He has on
the contrary used every effort and
will continue to use every effort not
only to maintain broad market for
the bonds but to strengthen the mar
ket for the bonds.

THE STATE SCHEME
FOR ITS FINANCES
How Maryland ReOrganized Its Finan-
cial System. Quiet RevO-
luton

In 1915 Maryland found itself in the
condition of a family that had lived
recklessly and without plan, namely,
in state of chronic poverty. In it's
distress it called in doctor of ac-
counts and finance, who reported,
after a careful inquiry, that the State
was without cash to pay its bills and,
in addition, owed large sums to State
hospitals, training schools and other
institutions, making total deficit of
81, 446, 555,S1, to be exact.
The State was aroused by news of
its financial plight. The Democratic
party pledged it's candidate to a State
budget system and to the appointment
of commission to prepare the new
plan. After the election, Governor
Harrington selected the commission,
choosing as chairman President Frank
j. Goodenow, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, formerly of President Taft's
Commission on Economy and Efficien-
cy. The result was report contain
ing a plan for an amendment to the
Constitution of the State providing
for complete budget system. The
amendment was carried by popular
vote in 1916.
The Maryland scheme for the man
agement of State finances contains a
few businesslike principles which
should be impressed upon the mind of
every citizen of the United States.
All over the country, governors
have been working to take State adj
ministration from the pawnshop basis
and put it on budget basis.
More than half of our States now
have budget system or are working
in that direction. How long will it be

Air GIiders.

No one knows how long ago ambi-
tious navigators learned to hitch their
frail banks to the breeze to carry their
cargoes, but it Is certain that in the
very early ages the pines and other
tall trees learned to take advantage
of the wind In like manner, as a means
of spreading their seeds, writes Her
bert w. Faulkner in his book, "Mys-
teries of the Flowers" So each seed
was built like biplane or air glider.
We have seen them floating down from
maple trees and twirling as they slow
ly fell. The lightest breeze can carry
them a long way ere they reach the
ground. We find similar seed sowing
practiced by the elm, ash, birch, horn
beam. linden and catalpa.
