ARE THERE MORE SELFISH
THAN UNSET FISH PERSONS?
Look around Your Oon World and See-Vntue Built for
Every Day

IF YOU want to throw n boomerang
into a jaded summertime converse
tion ask those who loll whether they
think there are more selfish or unsefish
people in the world. I remember a
rather long and stormy session caused
by this one evening and the experiment
was on the whole very interesting.
In the first place ideas on unselfsh-
ness differ so. One man claimed that
what we do in times of emergency is
the real sterling test of what we nre.
He quoted giving to the war relief or
ganizations, doing volunteer nursing in
the influenza epidemic and so on. A
chorus of "ayes" agreed with him. But

the dark threw bombshell into the

with glamour, he asserted.

Ever see young woman in manlesS
paradise divide the only eligible swain
on the island with three other young
women? She's more than a hero"
The subject offers many interesting
possibilities. The consensus Of opinion
In the particular discussion referred to
above was that there are more unselfish
than selfish persons in the world. but
personally I am afraid am inclined
to disagree and stick to the convictions
with which I went into the battle that
night, /. e.. that the world Is largely q
"self. f.made" one.
1t is swinging far to claim as our
quiet friend did that giving to the Red
Cross and helping in the influenza
epidemic had nothing to do with genuine
unsel6shness. 1t is folly to say the
women who bravely faced contracting
the dread influenza did so for vain
glorious motives and rash to make
sweeping statements about what it did
and did not cost give in wartime.
But there is no denying that the small
daily humdrum sacrifices call for more
effort than the flaming big ones and
that consequently most Of US are prone
to sidestep them.

silk shawl to the original color that

The French process is to use a weak
solution of coffee water or of black tea
drained off the leaves. Restore the
luster by carefully rubbing with a soft
silk handkerchief. The shawl can bt
pressed with a moderately hot iron pro
tected between folds of Turkish towels
If the shawl is badly discolored and
it is worth it. if this treatment viii
not suffice, | would advise taking it tc

sTEM-END ROT OF WATER
MELON.

Clemson College.-This disease is
comparatively new, but It causes q
serious loss Of melons in transit
There was loss Of $500 carloads OF
melons shipped from the southeast
ern states last summer, due entirely
to this disease. 1t is seldom found In
the field and the shipper is often as
tonished that 40 to 60 per cent Of his
melons rotted in transit, when at the
time Of shipping they are apparently
in good condition.
The stem-end rot fungus is common
on ripe or dying vegetation in and
around melon fields, especially OF
cotton and corn stalks and old melon
vines. These become covered with
black fruiting bodies Of the fungus ir
which countless spores are borne and
from which they are scattered by the
wind. When a melon Is cut from the
vine, a drop of sap exudes from the
cut stem and provides ideal conditions
for infection. The knives and hands
Of workmen are often carriers Of in
fection, and thus perfectly. healthy
melons may become diseased.
