WILL BE- BOON TO INVALID
independence, Comfort and Exercise
All Provided in New Chair Pro-
PEELED by Electricity.

A new era of independence, comfort
and exercise is promised to invalids
in an electrically-propelled chair that
is now being made by firm of surgi-
cal engineers in London.
In appearance it is little more than
a very comfortable, luxuriously-sus-
pended bath chair or invalid's car
riage. The propulsive motion is cleo
tricity. 1t is SILENT travels distance
of over twenty miles on a single
charge and has four speeds, ranging
from a crawl up to- five miles per
hour.
The control is said to be so SIM
pie that any person. no matter with
what disabilities, can sit in the car
rage and start right away, and it
1s fitted with reverse on all speeds.
It is only necessary to hold the steer
ing lever with the left hand and gent
ly push over the controller handle
with the right hand. The use of the
carriage renders an invalid independ-
ent of chair man or attendant, and the
cost Of upkeep is said to be trivial.

Irish Travel Stops.

The tourist resorts Of 1reland-the
Lakes Of Killarney and Glengarrifc-
have suffered greatly during the war
and the resumption Of normal condi-
tions, with freedom of travel for pleas
ure, will he required to bring back
their old-time prosperity. So Queens
town and, to a smaller degree, the
city of Cork has been affected by the
entire cessation Of the extensive pas
senger traffic to and from the United
States. Queenstown was the princi-
pal pert for Irish emigration to the
United States. and the change in that
respect is highly significant. There
are more young men in Ireland today
than there were for very many years
before the war. Emigration, which
for the ten years ending March 1, 1911,
averaged 38,8OS from all Ireland, fell
in 1917 to 2,111, and in 1918 to $50
natives Of Ireland. Embarkation of
emigrants and others from Queens
town which amounted to 2O,883 In 1913
and II, 40 in 1914, stopped altogether
In November, 1914.

the house in 1875 and Samuel J. Ran
dali leader of the Democratic side. AS

Randall turned and chaf11ngly said e:
"Oh, that is your New England Puri-
tanism, I suppose. That serves you to
good purpose, and I expect to meet
you some day, Butler, in another and
better world.'1
Butler replied in a fash: "Oh, no

Tho Minnesota Land Clearing epe-

lions Of modern methods In land-olear-
ing through northern Minnesota, has
been sent out at this time because it
In believed that conditions are now
Just right for land-clearing and the
development Of Minnesota's great "cut-
over" area.
John Swenehart, in charge Of land
clearing operations for the division Of
agricultural engineering Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin. who has seen
the land-clearing movement in Wis
consin spread with great rapidly, be-
neves that conditions are specially
favorable for the land-clearing move
ment in Minnesota, because q days
labor today produces a greater return
than ever before and the crop from an
acre will yield greater margin over
the cost Of clearing than ever in his
tory. He says, furthermore, that the
cost Of the materials used in land:
clearing have not increased in proper
ton to the selling prices or tho actual
value Of the products raised.
In 1910-1914 labor was bringing
$1.5s q day and it took the earnings of
s.18 days to pay for 100 pounds of
dynamite. In 1919 it took only 4.3
days pay for 100 pounds of the o.
plogive.
This then, says Mr.. Swenehart, very
empathically, is the time to clear land.

OVERHEAD EXPENSE (!

Goodness knows it's bad enough the
way we ring the changes on the fe-
male figure, switching it from the
hour glass effect to the straight up
and down and now back TO the hour
glass again
But now that they are changing
parasol shapes on us. it is really too
much. Since the days Of prehistoric
man round parasols have been per-
fectly good enough for anybody. What
more logical shape could be desired
than a round paras0l to keep the rays
of a round sun OF of a round head.
Circular sunshades have certainly
been adequately acceptable 70 every
body until now when some 1920 geni-
us has sprung the "Oyer-the-Top'
parasol on us as novelty or tne
The "Over-the-Topr is nothing
more nor less than a half Of a regu-
lar round parasOl. The stick runs up
10 the middle Of the straight side and
the ribs flare out In a perfect half
moon effect on the other side. In
simple words you just take a regular
parasol, cut IL in half, charge double,
and you have an "0ver-the-tOp.'
Another new shaped sunshade Is the
aerOplane which Is a narrow Oblong
with a stick in the middle. One espe-
cially attractive aerOplane model is
Of lustrOus barOneH satin in white
