The Modern "Washladv.n

The wash-wOman problem is a diff
cult one these days, all housekeepers
will agree. But one Columbus family
has more to worry about than some of
the rest.
Several days ago their wash was
late in coming back from the ''wash-
lady" and when she finally did come
with the clothes, in answer to the
question as to why she was late, she
stated:
"Well, you see we have a new au-
tomobile and the weather has been
so nice that we have been taking mo-
tor trips every day"
Now the housewife is wondering
what will happen to her washing when
summer comes. 1t is of further inter
est to explain that the poor woman
who is trying to have her washing
done owns no ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Woman ncallsdn Enu.r pasba

Enver Pasha, the most autocratic
and arrogant of the committee of I'M
ion and progress, was obliged to listen
to the protests of Turkish women
against the large number of casualties
in the Dardanelles and Bagdad cam
paigns. He called together the he
reaved mothers and reminded them
that their sons were among the faith
full in paradise, and that they should
be proud and pleased to be the moth
ers of such brave patriots.
One poor mother, bent with age and
beyond caring for herself, dared to cry
back to the man more feared by Turk
and Christian alike than anyone else in
the empire "Marshallah, effendi (May
1t please God, your eXcellency), that
your mother may soon have this same
pride and pleasure that we have."-
Barnett Miller, in Asia.

Electricity to Thaw Ground.

The electric ground-thawing device
used in Alaskan railroad building has
the form of a hollow steel pile. This
has sharpened steel point at one end
and solid steel driving head at the
other, and the hollow body contains
suitable resistance coil. The point
ed tube is driven like any pile into
the frozen ground to the required
depth. Connection is then made with
a power transmission line through a
portable transformer mounted on a
sledge and low-volt current of high
amperage is passed through the coil.
The heat soon thaws the surrounding
ground sufficiently for driving wood
en- pile.

BEATS ANY BURGLAR ALARM
Exceedingly Unlikely That Thieves
WIN Ever Rifle the National
Treasury of AMMAN.

/ Frenchman returned with an ac-
count of singular national treasury
In AMMAN. If the story is true-and
1t presents no essential improbability-
the treasury is in no danger of rob-
berry and Is destined to become IA
nous.
Now, in AMMAN iron safes of good
resisting power are for the most
part unknown, and, unfortunately,
adroit thieves are not. To defend his
most costly treasures the native ruler
had to resort to some means in har-
mony with the natural circumstances
of the country.
Armed guards he could not fully
trust. Animals do not steal money,
and nature had supplied the ruler with
creature that could not be wheeded
nor killed except with a great deal of
trouble. The crocodile is such an ami
NAL. The ruler would have the croco-
die guard his specie reserve.
Yet to avail himself of the services
of the crocodile he must keep his
money in place where crocodiles are
at home. Nothing was more simple.
In the interior of his palace the ruler
caused to be constructed large tank
or basin, which he kept filed with
water. Then he took several teak logs.
which he had bored with holes, and
into these he put his specie reserve of
gold and silver The holes were closed
up and the logs put into the tank.
Then some crocOdiles of the largest
and fiercest description were installed
in the tank and maintained there-not
being fed, however with such a super
fluffy as TO interfere with their natu-
raj ferocity. Any person who should
undertake to reach the treasure-laden
logs would surely be eaten by the
crocodles. And any one who should
undertake to put the saurians out of
the way would have to make noise
enough to attract the attention of the
human guards and of the ruler him
self, for he, by AMMAN custom, is re-
CURED to remain very closely in his
palace.
AT any rate the royal crocodile treas
ury has never been robbed-and it
cannot burn.

Utnizinq Wood Waste.

The utilization of wood waste is
one way recommended to cut down
the high cost of living. Here are
some articles made from sawdust and
Single waste which the New York
College of Forestry is exhibiting in
its efforts to show how the waste of
the sawmill can be utilized to cheap
en- the cost of living. silk" socks,
sausage castings, photograph records,
paper milk bottles and tanbark
shingles. The silk" looks like silk
and feels like silk, but is much cheap
er than silk. The sausage castings are
made by treating the wood with chem
icals that turn it into viscose, and
rolling this into thin films.
