All PAGES at Riuht,

Why not print all books in such a
way that every page is right-hand
page? asks DR.. I. Winslow of Boston,
who claims a patent for his concep-
ton of how to do it. He holds that
If one has to read pages on one side
Of a book only this will be held more
easily, the eyes will not wander, there
will be no necessity for changing the
position of the head and neck. Thus
reading, especially Of big heavy vol
umes, will be less fatiguing, not only
to the eyes, head and neck, but also
to the arms and hands.
Mr.. Winslow's idea is to print a
book so that you read straight ahead
from right-hand page to right-hand
page, these being numbered consecu-
lively; then, when you have read
through, to the last right hand page,
you turn the book upside down and
continue reading as before, what in
ordinary books are. left hand pages
now being right-hand pages. This, Of
course. involves printing all left hand
pages upside down and numbering
them consecutively from the back of
the book. This would easily be ar
ranged by the printer in laying out
the forms, though to get the pagina-
ton Of large book correct would re-
quire some nice calculation on the
printers part.

Neither Mr.. Hamlin nor Squire Hea-

wives are very Industrious, and moth

things that his wife accomphshes.
Il don't know what the Red Cross
would have done without my wife"
said Mr.. Hamlin one day.. ".She knit
twenty-five sweaters, ,seyenty-four
pairs of socks and one hundred and
fifteen Wristlets.'
t'That's not a bad record" admit
ted the squire. "In fact, i call it a
real good record for an average knit

ticles my wife turned out for the Red

started to count them, but when she
had knit several hundred articles of
every kind she said counting tired her,
and she quit. After that she esti-

Flag Stayed Right There.


Court etiquette among the reigning
families Of Europe is not to be lightly
considered, and so the story of how
the stubbornness Of an American
sdoughboy upset an age-old rule of
the royal house Of Roumania is OF
more than usual interest.
Some time ago Queen Marie of Rou-
mania accepted an invitation to ride
in an American official army car.
When the car arrived at the palace
gates, the queen at once noted that an
American flag flew from the radiator.
Before entering the car she requested
that the flag be removed, explaining
that royal etiquette prevented her rid
ing behind any flag sage that of her
own country. go ....:. :.
Opposition arose Immediately. The
chauffeur, an American doughboy, an
nounced politely, but none the less
firmly, that when the flag came down
he came down also, and some one else
would have to drive the car. The
queen, who, by the way, is a grand
daughter of the late Queen Victoria
of England, graciously conceded the
point and the party proceeded on their
way.

COULDN'T WAIT FOR MARTINI
Negro Preacher Had Premonition That
UnPIeasantness Might Follow
His Appearance.

"A negro preacher lost his way one
night and sought shelter. He was
told that the only place available was
a haunted house down the road. The
preacher had his Bible with him; he
went to the haunted house, built fire
in the big room and sat down to read
the good book. Suddenly a small
black cat brushed past him.

"that there is life to keep me COM

The cat walked over to the fireplace,
ate live coal and spat out the sparks.
The old man opened the Bible and
began to read aloud. Before he could
go further another cat entered the
room, cat about as big as a collie,
and this cat walked over to the fire.

out the sparks.
"When are we g'wine to begin?"
said the little cat.

comes" replied the big cat.
Again the old preacher sought con-
ISOLATION in the Bible, but third cat
entered the room. This one was about
as big as pony, and it ate three live
Goals and spat out the sparks.
"When are we gwine to begin?'
said the little cat, and this time the
biggest one answered.:

said when he explained his schemes

and I know the names of scores Of
men in it. Well drop special leaflets
on them for a few days, and after

within 80 yards of an observation post

boldly set up his call. There was not

Osann had to come away.
A few days later we took prisoners

SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De-
post and Then Comparatively
Hard to Withdraw.

1.-THE only way for a man regularly
to save money, unless he be one of
those individuals possessed of an ex-
traordinarily unrelenting character"
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
in System, the Magazine Of Business,
is for the money to be passed into the
savings account before it reaches him
that is, to put him in the position,
once he has made his resolution, OF
having to make another resolution to
quit saving in order to stop the process.
FINALLY, take the convenience of
withdrawal. A man will rightly hest
tate about going into any system Of
saving which locks up his funds for
any long period Of time. The average
worker has no great margin between
income and outgo and he has to be pre-
pared for rainy day-for birth, for
a death, for long illness. He cannot
afford to put measurable part Of his
funds out Of reach. If his money is to
go from him for a long time he very
naturally will not deed away anything
like so much as he would IF thsmoney
were always available. On tKA other
hand any system of saving Mswhieh
Withdrawals may be easily anM cret=
ly made is faulty The fund$HhouM
be available upon short notieM there
should be a penalty for95swit hara avail,
which penalty should be iargahou
to stop Withdrawals for ffivoleW pur-
poses and yet not so large as tB work
anything which savors of injustice on
man who honestly needs the money"

Reform VS.. Prevention.

A Los Angeles woman, who has de-
voted much time and effort to an in
stitution that aids unfortunate girls,
referring to the difficulties she encoun-
tered in gaining sympathy and support
for an enterprise that is not spec
tacular, writes in the Los Angeles
Times: 81. ~ .. .....
isn't it queer that people always
take so much more interest in reform
ing than in preventing? Should the
time ever come when I need help,
shall go out and rob a bank, or some
thing like that. Then shall be cared
for, and good, charitable people will
bring me flowers and things"
There is much truth in this, the
Times adds. We pet and coddle the
sinner, but we fail to aid those who
are tempted.

Lived DAYS in Sealed Box.

Joseph: Bancroft, d reader &of ply
siology at Kings college, England, has
lived for six days in Theoretically,
sealed glass box. The experiment
arose out Of a 30-year-old controversy
as to whether 1T is possible to calcu-
late the amount Of oxygen in the blood
from a knowledge of the amount of
oxygen in the breath. The test was
also made to demonstrate whether it
was necessary that airmen should
have oxygen apparatus when flying at
great heights. 1t proved that oxygen
was necessary. to. flying men, but It
did not show to what height they
could fly with safety. While in the
box Bancroft. kept a record of his SEN

MAKING Slate Pencils.

In Europe slate pencils are usually
made by hand, but in this country they
are turned out by machinery. There is
in Pennsylvania a quarry famous for
the fine quality of it's slate, which
yields many millions of pencils an
nually. The rough material is first
sawed into suitable pieces and then
each piece is cut to standard length,
5h inches.
The machinery produces the pencils
in the form of cylindrical rods of that
length, which are pointed on emery
wheels by boys, who handle them by
twos and threes with great dexterity
and rapidity. Finally they are put up
in pasteboard boxes Of 100 each.

A. e. f. Landmarks Going.

Gradually the landmarks of the
American army that first reached the
Rhine are disappearing. The old
buildings that sheltered the first army
amusements and recreations are being
demolished, and the latest one to feel
the blow of the wrecker's hammer is
the victory hut in Coblenz.
This hut was built to provide an
adequate eating place for the soldiers
coming in from the various bridge
heads. A corps Of civilian workers
were kept busy preparing and serving
the food for. the Z 600 men who were
fed there each day. At first the en-
tire building was used as a cafeteria,
but when the most Of the divisions
had gone home and the A. E. F. be-
came the A. F.. G., half OF the build
ing was converted into wet canteen
for the service Of light lunches, ice
cream, etc, and the other side was
still used as the cafeteria.
November 5, last year, a heavy snow
storm came near ending the career of
the hut. The weight of snow on the
roof was SO great that the main pill
lars buckled and distorted the floor to
such an extent that the authorities,
questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of making
the necessary repairs. The demand
for a skating rink, however, was so in
sistent that after much discussion the
building was altered and the athletic:
enthusiasts, as well as the skating en-
thusiasts, used the building during
the winter.-From the Stars and

Where can a man buy cap for his

Can your eyes be called an academy
Because there are pupils there!

Who travels the bridge of your nose?
Could you use in the shingling the

If so, what did he do?
