Plains Literary Club.

The Plains Literary club is one OF
the organizations of the community
that has proven interesting and inn
proving. 1t is composed of twenty
five active members, having been or
gained in 1913. Since that time it
has grown steadily and has done some
good work. Though it's aim is pri-
marily literary, during the war it
took an active part in all patriotic
causes, having Joined the Woman's
Committee of the National Defense
society. There is social feature to
the club and several times the club
has given attractive parties and en-
tertainments. 1t meets twice month
at the homes of it's members, and a
literary program is rendered. No re-
freshments are permitted at the reg
ular meetings
At the outbreak of the war plans
were being made to build an at
tractive club house, but the money
on hand at that time was invested in
Liberty bonds and War Savings
Stamps. The members hope to carry
out their plans some time in the near
future. The club has begun a libra
ry and each year choice volumes are
added to the collection of books.
At the beginning of each year "Year
Books" are gotten out, containing the
program and assigning the parts to
different members.
At present the course of study is

q. S. Gasoline Substitute
Reputed to Reduce the Cost
by Sixty Gents On Dollar

A gasoline substitute wldch can be
manufactured to sell at tw0f1fths OF
the present cost of gasoApe may be
on the market by the first 0f the year.
An announcement by the var depart
ment states that such q substitute
has been produced by the research
and development division df the de-
partment. According TO the present
plan, the formula will be released to
manufacturers, probably un6er some
agreement with the war department
as to the margin Of profit that will
be allowed.
The product, which has kerosene
for a base, is odorless, eolHfess and
non-corrosive, according to the war
departments statement, and tests
have proved it to develop a thermal
efficiency greater than the best gaso-
line. It was said that Gpt. E. G.
Weisgarber, a gas and oil engineer
connected with the department, who
is responsible for the discovery and
development of the substitute, will be
relieved from duty and placed in
charge of its distribution.

"0Id King Cole" of Nursery
Fame an Ancient Sovereign

The first reference to "Old King
Cole" the "merry old soul" Of the fam
Gus nursery rhyme, was made in a
book written by DR.. William King,
who was born In 1888. 1t is probable
that the song was composed In the
seventeenth century, although some
investigators think 1t much older.
Halliwell Identifies the merry monarch
with Cole or Coel, semi-mythical
king of Britain, who Is supposed to
have reigned in the third century.
The Scotch also have an "Old King
Coul," said to have lived In the fifth
century. Freeman and other histo-
rians say King Cole ruled Britain In
the sixth century. There are many
who assert that the reference to the
pine indicates that Old King Cole
lived Mt a period after Raleigh had In
troluced tobacco into Europe, but this
does not necessarily follow. as n
''pipe' might mean a musical instru-
ment.

Shoe Manufacture in China
Is Conducted by the Women

All China stays home on wet days.
Why? Because Chinese shoes are
made wholly of cloth, through which
the water readily runs; hence, to
keep dry feet, the Chinese stay in
doors when 1t rains. Chinese shoes
are made by women. Early in child
hood they learn the work, and hus-
band and father and sons are all shod
by the work of the women Of the
household. If the women can make
more shoes than their own men re-
quire, then they still make shoes-to
be sold in the shops. The tiny shoes
Of the housewife are made in the pri-
vacy Of her own bedroom. not even
the husband watching her work. The
sides of the shoes are made of new
cloth, anything from cheapest cotton
to richest velvet. Soles are made Of
several thicknesses of cloth or paper
put together with paste, with new
cloth on the outside. The soles are
from a half inch to two inchLS thick.
The thickness of the sole is an evil
dence Of the financial standing of the
wearer.

When British Took justsa ..
in 1914, Arabia Was Fut
on Map by the 0p9ation

At the junction of the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers-100 miles from the
Persian gulf-is the town of GuSna.
The few tourists who, in ante-bellu0
days, says writer in Asia Maga-
zine, sailed past Gurna were told to
look with reverence at the spot. for
here was the. original Garden of Eden.
In December, 1914, the British took
Gurna and Arabia was put on the map.
The advance which British arms made
in the land Of the Arab was important
in proportion, as the Germans regard.
ed Arabia as important. Arabia
loomed large on the Teutonic horizon
because it was the door to ''Mittel Eo.
ropa" and because it is the cradle Of
Islam. Since Islam is professed by
the majority Of the population in Tur-
key, and 63.OOO,OOO of Indians, and
20 900 of Russians, and 24.000,O00
in the. East Indies, and 100000 in
Egypt, and 100000 in Persia, and
100000 in Afghanistan, and 100000
in China-Islam was considered worthy
Of an attempt at wedlock, holy or un-
holy.
If you look at the map Of the Med
iterranean you will see that Cyprus
seems to have great finger which
points just to where Asia Minor bends
down sharply to form the Syrian coast.
Napoleon noticed this more than 100
years ago and suggested that there lay
the key to any situation which would
involve that part of the world. Fol-
low the finger and it Is significant that
the objective Of the British cam
paigns in Palestine and Mesopotamia
was Alleppo. Thence draw the line
straight across, and you draw with al
most uncanny accuracy the northern
linguistic boundary of Arabia.
