Chinese Founding in Luck.

A Chinese baby named Anna Mi
chaelson became Anna Lee Chin
Wore, legally adopted daughter of
Chin II. Wore. wealthy proprietor of
New York restaurant, by order of
Justice Cohalan in the supreme court.
Incidentally the story of how the child
was saved from death in infancy and
acquired the surname by which she
has been known, was disclosed. Ten
years ago Patrolman Michaelson was
walking his beat in Chinatown When
his attention was attracted by the
piercing wall of an infant. In an al
ley ash barrel he found the Chinese
child, in no suit of clothing, and blue
with cold. The policeman wrapped
the waif in his overcoat and took her
to the police station, whence she was
later taken to the New York Found
lings' home. AT about the same time
the childleSS Chin II. Wore, who is
prospecting in business, and his white
wife visited the institution in search
of an infant for adoption. Theif
hearts went out to Anna Michaelson,
and they took the child home-the
first Chinese girl legally adopted in
New York county.

Can You See IT.

Colonel Roosevelt hated the bolshe-
Wiki, and one day in New York he said
to a reporter:
We've got a disreputable tramp boil
Sheviki in Oyster Bay. He held me up
in front of the general store the other
evening.
1.-The worlds all wrong, colonel he
said. If us bolsheviks had our way
we'd make law compelling the rich to
divide up with the poor. Then all
would be equal. Wouldn't that be
grand?'
"'Grand? No. you ignorant fool
said /. In ten years after that equal
start there'd be the same inequality

DESERT FOR MANY REASONS
Every Soldier Who FIees the CoIors in
Times Of Peace Is Not Neces-
sarily DisIoyai.

The reversion to peace is welcomed
by most men. but there is a group in
the army and navy posted as desert
ers who must be uneasy in their minds.
Desertion in the army implies al
sence without leave for % days. and
entails court-martial if the indiyid-
ual is reclaimed. says a writer in Lon
don Answers.
In time of war it was a serious busi-
ness, and a man risks his life almost
as much by running away from dan
ger as by running into it.
But in peace times there is some
times an element of humor in deser-
ton from the forces Men run away
for such trivial reasons, sometimes
merely TO join another unit.
Men desert chiefly because they are
daily confronted by irritating restric-
tions, personal luminosity of superiors
or for private reasons.
Sometimes an attractive uniform
like that of lancer regiment will
seduce an infantryman. | have in
mind a corporal who was chased by
military police in Aldershot two years
after the desertion, one of the NJ. P.'s
having known him in his former unit.
A man still living left the navy in
a hurry in 1874. An officer had called
him a liar, charge he countered with
his fist, for which he was placed in
irons. a fire on board that night gave
him his chance. He roamed Australia
until his ship went out of commission,
when the charge automatically lapset.
Discomfort with existing conditions
is a frequent cause. of man break
ing away. In 1915 private who
held an army skilled trade certificate
was deputed to examine applicants for
special enlistment in that branch.
He prepared the tests and examined
the finished work.
Those who qualified were created
staff Sergeants a week later, with pay
amounting to four times his own.
His repeated requests for promotion
were turned down, as he was regu-
lar. While on leave he deserted, join
ing another regiment Immediately. and
after Is months in Saloniki he was dis
charged under an assumed name with
heart trouble.
A kindly c. o. has been known To
give an incQrrigible few days leave
and sovereign, with the advice TO
lose himself-in the rosy times of
peace.

The advent of Lent finds mothers
devoting their time to spring Quitting
FOR the children in addition to their
own, which is q more difficult matter.
But the quiet of Lent allows time to
consider things. Spring has already
been heralded, for weeks, in the shop,
by displays of children's frocks made
of wash fabrics, for school and other
wear. Nothing startlingly new in fab
RIGS has distracted attention from our
old-time favOrites for chiIdren's wear,

There are negligeeS and negligees
some of them elaborate and filmy af-
fairs of chiffon or crepe and lace, that
float about the figure in lovely color
tints. Many are made of thin silks or
crepe de chine, others of sheer cottons.
But the story of the variety of fabrics
used is short when compared to the
story of variety in design. We can
spend our hours of ease in clothes from
garments adapted from these oriental
sources. Or we can look to various
periods in French or other history Tor
inspirations and go as far as We like
in adaptations of them. 1t Is in negli-
gees that we are fancy free.
Among the prettiest and nOSt prac-
tfcal STYLES are those in which the
negligee is in one piece and made of
taffeta silk in light colors. Lace or
net. and often both, are used with this
crisp. shimmering silk, anG ribbons are
a matter of course on all neSligeeS.
Each of these contributes its share
toward making the quaint and youthful
garment with easy, flowing lines, pic
tured here. 1t looks like an ample
coat over a long skirt. but is all in one
piece. & fiounce of lace headed with

SMOKING TOBACCO

The Use of FIavorings Deter

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking to-

:. the use of the sauces is to improve

A TREMENDOUS JOB INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-Our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials in carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers TO increase their deliveries TO us.
But it was a slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies In this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new ma
chinery. and managed to install it on
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF vAPoRUe EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
BY January LIST we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our
automatic machines, which drop out
one hundred and forty-three jars of
NapoRub a minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force OF 500 people. Our Cafe De-
partment, created for the benefit of
these workers. served 1000 meals DUR
ing the month of January alone.
10 MILLION JARS OF VAPORUB
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
An idea of the work we have ac-
complished this fall may be given
by our production figures-13, O2S,9T6
jars Of VapoRub manufactured and
distributed since last October-one jar
for every two families in the entire
United States.
During the influenza epidemic Vick's
NapoRub was used as an external ap-
plicatiOn in connection with the physi-
clans treatment. and thousands of peo-
pie, unable to obtain a doctor, relied
on Vick's almost exclusively.

put on last November and which had to
be postponed on account of the short

We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately. so that
the jobbers will be able TO get prompt
shipments TO them.
