In City of Johnstown, NJ. Y, Three
quarters of the Wives Arc in
.. Gainful Occupations.

In a survey Of family incomes In
nearly one hundred cities Of the Unit
ed States, the department Of labor
found that in JohnStown, N. Y, three
quarters of the wives earn money.
The Labor Review explains that this
remarkable condition prevails in Johns
town because glovemaking is, the prin-
cipal industry there and furnishes
work which women can do at home.
This appeals to them, because they
are able to earn good wages without
leaving their household.
In almost one-siXth Of the New York
city homes visited women contributed
earnings toward the support Of the
home. In Boston, one wife out of
ten works; In Buffalo, one In twenty
eight; in Cleveland and Cincinnati one
in seven, and in Pittsburgh only one
IN fifty. 1t Is interesting to note that
investigators found that surprisingly
large percentage Of town dwellers de-
rive some income from gardens and
poultry. Ninety-three per cent of those
visited In Cleveland had a garden or
chickens.

Manic Garnet Up to Date.

A plan for seeing strange sights
comes from France, in the announce
ment Of the Compagnic Latecoere.
THIS aerial line will take you from
Toulouse, at $50 a. m, over the
Pyrcnees to Barcelona, Spain, by lunch
time, Next day you lunch at Malaga,
then fly across the Mediterranean to
Tangiers. Then you sail above the
Atlas mountains to far-away Rabat,
green oasis of tie Sahara, or even to
Fez, where it is said the company has
opened the grand viZier's palace as
hotel. These are indeed the days of
magic carpet and the seven-league
boots to those who fear not adventure

Mnnnnnee In Trinidad.

The mong0ose was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose of Kidding the island Of
both rats and snakes, hut at the pres
cnt time 1t Is itself considered very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
durtion of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years,
chiefly because of the ravages of frog
hoppers, since the lizards, which for
merly Kept them in check, are being
extcrminated by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners in Trinidad pay
q shilling q head for every mongoose
destroyed on~their estates, and many
thousands arc destroyed every year
without any attempt being made to
save the skins. Consul Baker, there
fore, suggests that possibly these mon
goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States,
and has forwarded n sample Of such
skin to the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, where it may be
examined by interested persons.

SPOON IN FAVOR NTH TURKS
Subjects of the Sultan Have Little Use
for the Fork as a Table
Utensi.

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau of Informal
tion, the average yearly requirements
of Constantinople before the war in
the way of cutlery were $4,000 dozens
of table knives, 10000 dozens of
spoons, 10000 dozens of forks, $4,000
dozens of scissors, 25,000 dozens of
rsIgors of all kinds and 5000 d"zrns of
hair clippers.
AS will be seen, much more spoons
are sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experience in other countries
where, rs q rule. more forks are re-
CURED than spoons. This is explained
by the fact that ConStHEtinGple sup
plies great quantities Of cutlery to
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still lave not been de-
veloped up to the standard OF Paris.
The Arab is fond Of the spoon, be-
cause it is handy in eating his cereals,
but lie prefers to deal with chops by
way of the fingers, which is a more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye with a fork.
SO it is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
It IS conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center Of the stage in point
of quality.

Fresh Equs.

The pert proprietor Of grocery In
East Twenty-fifth street Is nothing X

The other day, rather early in the
forenoon, one of the good wives In
the neighborhood stepped into the
store and inquired.
"Any real fresh eggs?" tGreat en-
phasis on the real freshly - ..
"Oh, yes. ma'am,"' he replied. "Some
just laid this morning"
A day or two later, somewhat earl
lar in the forenoon than before. the
good wife again dropped into the store
and inquired:
"Any more of those real fresh eggs"
Whereupon the grocer cried to his
clerk:
"Run to the back room, boy, and see
If this mornings eggs are cool enough
yet to sell."-Indianapolis News.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
1t Dates Back to the Time of the An.
cient Romans, and Probably Is
Much Older.

1t was q custom Of the Romans to
paint rose on the ceiling Of the BAN
quet hail. signlfying that what was
told at the feast was not to lie re-
peated. From this custom originated
the expression, subrosa, the Detroit
News recalls.
The rose is the queen of love md
beauty and Is the most eloquent Of
all in the language of the flowers. The
rcd rose Is token of. love and the
white of purity. A moss rosebud Is a
confession of love, while q rose leaf
says, "You may hope" A white rose
signifies, 81 am worthy Of you," and
the yellow rose asks, "AfS you jeal-
ous?"
The yellow buttercup is dedicated
TO the memories of childhood and ~
riches. The Greeks and Romans used
one variety of buttercup as remedy
for leprosy. 1t was also said that the
root was a sure cure for insanity If it
was gathered at the wane of the moon,
wrapped in linen and carried around
the neck OF the afflicted person.

Panied and SURPRISED.

AT the time it was more painful than
funny. but the years leave only q rec
objection Of my intense surprise when
bit into what thought was a bright
red apple.
. Always had loved apples, and one
day when saw dish Of bright red
objects in the pantry, took couple
Of the largest, and silently left the
house-with what happy anticipation.
Safe in the back yard I proceeded
to take large bite Of a red pepper.
Such shrll screams of agony az
reached my mothers ears. She rushed
to the rescue to find me, not content
with having filed my mouth with the
fiery pepper, rubbing frantically at my
face and eyes.
Not knowing that oil and not water
should be used to remove the burning
sensation, she dumped me into the
bathtub, and started to scour. 1t was

priated what did not belong to me-

customer Of the Electric Power COM
pany Of Portland, Ore, intends to at
tain in his electrically operated chick
en- farm known as "Henacres." His
output this season will be in the neigh
horhood of 100000 chickens, as COM
pared with $4,000 for last year. This
farm started with one small electric
incubator in 1915 and now is equipped
to operate on Il large scale, having n
single incubator with capacity Of
10000 eggs. The total connected load
for this plant consists of 33.5 kilowatts
Of heating and 3 kilowatts Of lighting.
For emergency service, continues the

TRACE JAZZ MUSIC TO CHINA
Book of Ceremonies of That Country
Deals With Musical Criticism
to the Point.

The hunt for the origin of jazz has
led to the African jungle and to the
music of cannibal feasts and orgiastic
dances. But, further back 1t can be
traced to the beginnings of civilization
in China, itself. Confucius, who lived
nearly $500 years ago, edited a book
of ceremonies called the "Li XII" The
book of ceremonies was venerable
Chinese classic long before Confucius
gave his attention to 1t. The sayings
in the "Li Ki" represent a viewpoint
of musical criticism in China which
perhaps corresponds. to the date as
signed by the Jewish chronology for
the Garden OF Eden. The 'Li XII de-
scribes music as powerful influence
for good or evil, and pictures the pre-
historic SyncopatiOn as follows:
"TEe airs of Kang go to wild eS-
cess and debauch the mind; those OF
Sung speak of slothful indulgencles
those of Wei are strenuous and fast
and perpleX the mind; and those OF
Xii are violent and depraved and
make the mind arrogant. The airs Of
these four states all stimulate libidi-
nous desire and are injurious to
virtue"
If not jazz, what else falls In with
the description? Kang Sung, Wei and
Khi-al their scores have been lost.
Only the monotonous drum beat which
they doubtless contributed to prehis-
toric jazz remains in modern Chinese
music-Toledo News-Bee.

scouts attending the international
scout conference in London visited
the tree only Il few days before II
crashed and it's history was told to 300
of them, who had their photographs
taken beneath its branches. The tree
stood on one of the lawns Of the Mild
may conference hall. Many religious
leaders have addressed meetings un-
der its ample shade. Hundreds of re-
quests for chips from the historical
tree are being received. .....
