women SELLING Their Jewels.

It seems to be the fashion just now
for women with plenty of money and
heavily stocked with jewel cases TO
sell any rich and rare stones that they
may possess, not because they need
the money but simply because they
like the excitement of getting a big
figure for articles that they probably
seldom wear and certainly do not
actually miss.
1t is reported that the woman who
is now Mrs. Jack Gilliatt and was pre-
viously the widow of the eccentric
marquis Of Anglesey, recently went
through her jewel chests and collected
quantities Of old-fashioned. quantity
set gems which she sent off to be sold
by auction.
The result was a very satisfactory
sum of money that ran well into five
figures, with which she purchased a
beautiful little estate, where she is in.

CHIvALRY NATURAL TO HIM
Brave Act of virginian Soldier in

It was not often that the sold er

given him this sobriquet because Of
the position in which he always stood,
with one foot turned out. One day
at Chateau Thierry he had been left
behind in dugout, but had followed
the boys, and at moment when there

Bats for U-Boats.

Captain Campbell and his associ-
ates of the British mystery ship Dun

tails in their ships as in their personal
appearance. The ships wash did not
expose the fannels that are affected
by naval men, but the dungarees that
are popular with merchant sailors.
Sometimes side Of beef would be
hung out in plain view; this not only
kept up the fiction that the ship was
an innocent tramp, but 1t served as
q tempting bait to the not too well fed
crew Of the submarine. Particularly
tempting cargoes were OCCASIONALLY put

Mlxinu Yarns.

BY force of industrial circumstances
an odd and interesting kind of inter-

Hongkong factories are knitting with
a mixture of japanese and American
yarns. An estimate for the current

value of about one million gold dol
lars will come into Hongkong enG so

Snakes Changes of Skin.

1t appears that snakes change their
skins several times year before reach

why snakes cast their skins Is to pro-

Of a snake does not grow with the
growth Of the body, as is the case with
warm FLOODED creatures. SO when it
begins to get too tight it is discarded.

I It was one of his fiippant mornings,

asking the eager boys puzzling and
quite irrelevant questions to test their
general knowledge.
"How far away from the earth is
the North Starr" was the question
he fired at the third shiny-faced
youngster.
