DIDN'T KNOW IT PERSONALLY
Therefore Jimmy Jumped at conelu-
sion That Caused Much Trouble
In the Neiprborhood.

'My mamma and papa aren't mar
ried," said little fellow talking to
group of children In q neighbours gar
den. The neighbor sat on the porch
with group of women and they over
heard the remark.
p "What did you say. Jimmy?" they
called to the child. He repeated 1t.
Gossip got busy and Jimmy's mother
suddenly found herself Stunned by the
neighborhood. Many of the women
from whom she had borrowed an egg
or cup of sugar turned their heads
when she passed on the street. She
was at loss to explain this cold
ness until, she went to one nelghbor
and asked what the trouble was. On
her return home she called Jimmy to
her.
"Son, did you tell anybody that your
father and / were not marriedT
Eyes, ma'am," he answered. you
are not, are your"
"Of course we ares"
"Well, how did know? You didn't
have wedding. didn't see t."

Sources Of Rubber

Most Of the rubber produced comes
from the valley of the Amazon, the
central part of Africa and the East
Indies, and small portion from Mex
leo and the southwest part of the
United States. Rubber from the
United States is obtained from num-
Der of plants In paying quantities.
The rubber obtained from the hevea
tree Is the highest quality known. 1t
Is known as para rubber" because 1t
is shipped from Para, in Brazil. The
Congo region In Africa abounds in
rubber producing plants. Guayule. a
shrub growing three to five feet In
height, is becoming an important
source Of rubber. This plant Is also
found In Mexico and in southwestern
Texas.

Duty and Opportunity.

Efficiency in work, to say nothing Of
equanimity Of temper, depends very
largely on the ability to take the right,
that is to say, proportionate and time
ly, views Of duty and opportunity.
There are minute duties lying under
the feet, so to speak, which must be
micrOscopically examined; there are
more detached obligations that can be
discerned only by lifting up the eyes
and lengthening their focus, while now
and then the vision will be revealed Of
the vast sen, calling to the soul to
launch Its bark for the shores Of the
Far Away. Sydney Smith advises us,
If we would be happy and normal in
feeling, to take "short views and long
views"-to confront the homely, way
side duty, and occasionally to glimpse
the eternal vlstas, but to skip the anx-
ious days in between.

Sacred Korean Mountains,

All Korean mountains are sacred to
Koreans, who look on the many peaks
Of their land as guardians of the race.
Paik-tu-san, the white mountain, Is the
most sacred Of all. From 1t, says the
Korean, his first ancestors sprang. 1t
Is an object to be viewed from dis
lance and spoken of politely, lest the
spirit Of the mountain be offended and
send Ill luck on the household. Once,
whispers the Korean native, man
lacking In veneration climbed the peak
OF Paik-tu.san. The spirit was angry.
One leg of the man became three feet
longer than before. 1t Is next to I'M
possible to find natives who will even
enter the forest below the peak, as
this territory, too, is said to be under
the sway Of the irasclble mountain
spirit. Those few who have achieved
the summit Of the famous white noun
tain say that the top is the crater Of
long extinct volcano, and that the
giant cup Is filed nearly to the brim
with lake wonderfully blue and
calm.

gonne-Meuse sector, comprising 4SO
square miles.
The American engineers moved up
to the battlefield soon after the armis-
tice was signed. For miles around
there was not village or farm that
was occupied.
Orders were issued to squads >of
American salvage engineers to pick up
every gun they found, broken or In
servlceable condition, as well as all
war material and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
In army trucks. The colored fighters
received instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch it, but to put
up a little stick beside 1t with note
so that the munltion salvagers could
find 1t later.
The doughboys soon made the dis
covery that the Germans in their

Loaded In Box Cars.
One of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task Of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had Installed
In the Argonne forest. No information
was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save in his flight
toward the Rhine, but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector Of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one, town located In the rear of
the battlefield there Is pile of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger
mans. that would more than Ali the
hold Of a large ocean freighter. It
was estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that vii
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 per cent
more war booty In the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due. 1t is said, to the rapidity OF
the American advance and to the
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerors.
The work Of cleaning up the Ar.
COME battlefield, however, has been an
expensive one, although vast quanti
ties of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. 1t has cost more than
100000 to complete the task, but
the work has been success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.

Washington.-The lower your salary,
the greater percentage of 1t you spend
for food and shelter, according to the
latest government cost of living inves-
tigatAn.
Tables compiled by labor depart
nent experts after study of hundreds
OF family budgets show the actual cash
outlay for food and rent is greater In
families with the higher incomes, but
for these necessities does not increase
as fast rs the income
In Baltimore, for instance, 10 fam
lilies with incomes under 5000 averaged
expenditures of $3S295 for food and
S12O44 for rent The average was 46.5
per cent of the total income for food
and 14.G for rent. The families whose
incomes were $4,000 or more, however,
average 1875 per cent less for food In
comparison with total income and 11.5
less for rent.
Showing how much more cheaply
the highcr-salaried families get off in
other cities are these differences:
Pittsburgh, food Is per cent, rent rs
per cent; New York, food CT per cent.
