PROGRESS OF THE MACHINE
Numerous Complicated Inventions
That Do Work Better Than 1t
Can Be Done by Hand.

American inventors are designing
scores of machines that automatically
do work so complicated that it has
heretofore been done only by hand.
Some of these are remarkably efficient
and clever. Current Opinion lists 3
few of them:
Machines that will automatically
make boxes from sheets of cardboard.
put them together, tuck in the bottom
end, place jar or bottle with circular
or directions therein, and then tuck
in the top, making a complete car
toned package without the touch Of
the human hand. Machines that will
build up a carton or box, weigh and
fill the same with powder Or a f1oury
substance, place cover on box, then
wrap the box completely with a print
ed wrapper, and then place a trade
mark seal on each end of the package.
Machines that will label bottles (120
per minute), bottles fed from maya
zine and labeled automatically. Ma
chimes ironing and folding sheets, pill
low cases, towels, handkerchiefs and
napkins. Machines folding and label
ing shoe and corset laces automat-
ically. Machines that will assemble

The Kiss That
Didn't Count
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD

&c, 1890, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate')
Hartley Stevens lounged in the NOR
ris chair by the open window, think
ing deep thoughts. Dared he ask Ellen
Gray TO marry him? Would she say,
yes" If he did?
Meeting her at his sisters gradua-
ton, he had been straightway capti-
waited by her girlish charm, and when
his sister suggested that Ellen visit
them In the late summer, Hartley was
an enthusiastic indorser Of the plan.
Now the visit, SO long anticipated,
was nearly over. He could not feel
that Ellen had definitely encouraged
him, and yet There were the girls
now Through the window he watched
them crossing the lawn, his jolly Sis
ter Josie, and Ellen, the girl Of his
dreams.
The girls, unaware Of Hartley's
proximity, sank down On the steps OF
the veranda Hartley, for the moment,
was content to delay Joining them
while he reveled in the picture Ellen
made as she leaned against the Gle
mats draped pillar, tanning herself
with her fioppy, broad-brimmed hat.
and then he stalked into the
crowded hall and picked her up and
carried her off in his arms. Oh, it
was Wonderfulr' Hartley deduced
that Josie was launched on version
of some recent screen success.
Ellen sighed. "DO you know, JO-
those must have been glorious times,
in the days Of cave men and-oh,
LOchinvars and all SO much easier
to have a man make up his mind you
were going to marry him and that was
the end Of it."
CPL say So" agreed Josie, and the
conversation trickled on into further
film "reminiscences, but Hartley heard
them not. He had received his cue
from the unconscious Ellen herself.
She wanted cave man stuff. SO be it!
He arose, thrilled and determined. At
the very first opportunity he would
prove himself a cave man, LOchinvar
and William Hart rolled into one.
To a man awaiting the nice con-
junction of time, place, and girl, the
hours passed on leaden wings. Young

APPRECIATES AID OF LEGION
Federal Vocational Training Board
Commends Consideration and Co
operation in Connecticut.

Thomas J. Bannigan, director of the
service department OF the American
Legion at Hartford, Conn, has re-
ceived this letter from Thomas Kirby,
central office eligibility officer for the
federal vocational training board:
Before leaving Connecticut I de-
sire on behalf of the chief at Washing
ton and the whole federal board to
express sincere appreciation for the
consistent consideration and hearty
cooperation of the American Legion
during our stay In this state.
"There is consummate satisfaction
and justif1able pride as we see these
men, bearing the honorable scars Of
national service, marching into the
dawn of a new era in their lives to
become more valuable to themselves
and to the country, and In the sue
cess that has attended our efforts the
wholehearted support Of your organ
ization has been a conspicuous asset
"While we are to be physically sep
arated from you, you may be assured
the triple chain of appreciation, re-
spect and esteem that has bound you
close to us during our brief but
strenuous campaign will continue In
tact, and if in the future the Legion
has any suggestions that might aid
us in our work, they will receive the
most respectful and serious consider
alton of the high authorities of the
board"
Mr. Bannigan also is the adjutant
Of the department of Connecticut.

Rush to California From Wisconsin

Rush to California From Wisconsin
Until 1849 the southwestern por-
ton of the state exceeded the other
sections both in population and po-
litical influence The rush for the
gold fields of California in that and
the succeeding years drained away
so many of the enterprising citizens
of Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette coun-
ties, that the lead mining region mas
never recovered it's relative 1mpor-
lance in state affairs. An old scrap

list of the persons who went to Cal

alone. These numbered one hum

But Hartley'S chance came at last.
Josie slipped away to the kitchen and
Ellen book In hand, sought the cool
SecIusiOn of the couch hammock on
the porch. In an instant, Hartley was
reside her. Firmly he withdrew the
book, tucked it behind the cushions,
and seized her hand "And when are
we going to be married?" he asked.
'Marriedr" gasped Ellen, What
what a sudden person you are.'
Eyes, darling, when? You know I
love you. You are the most wonder
full girl in the world. Make me the
happiest man."
Ellen bit her lip and looked anxious
ly around to see if they were alone
but she did not withdraw her hand.
Josie's brother had come. to seem to
her as attractive and desirable as the
Prince Charming Of her dreams, but
she had not been prepared for this
sudden and abrupt declaration. IL
don't know what to say" she MUIR
INJURED.
Its up to me to do the saying" de-
cided Hartley to himself, mindful Of
the words he had overheard yester-
day.
Then aloud, "You are going to
marry me this very fall, Ellen love"
he said determinedly On the words,
he drew her into his arms, and for a
moment there was no sound other
than the rustic. of the morning breeze
in the clematis.
THAT" said Hartley, as at length
he released her, "was infinitely more
satisfactory than the kiss l got last
night. Why-why-what?"
For Ellen had stiffened and was re-
garding him with a sort Of frozen hor-
ror. -all-things she said, slow
ly. Then vehemently, "How dare you!
Let me go, Mr.. Stevens"
At that moment somebody gigged.
In the doorway stood Josie. ooh, I'm
sorry. / didn't mean to Overhear-
but just as I got to the door / caught
a little And as I turned to go heard
the rest. Hereafter, Hartley, when
you kiss a girl in the dark be sure it's
the right onew Not waiting his re-
jOinder, Josie fled.
His sisters giggle had been strange
ly reminiscent to Hartley Of the night
before Like a flash he realized what
had happened. "Listen, Ellen" he
said, desperately 81 thought I heard
you say you were going to the living
room-well, I thought it was YOU
and"
eyes," said Ellen, 81 see. 10 went
for it. But l thought that girl you
were with when we walked to the
store-oh, I'll forgive you, but please
don't do it again. It's taking chances!"
Nonsense" said Hartley, tenderly.
"Td know the difference now!'
Which remark perhaps it was just
as we'll Sister Josie didn't hear.

'Nou Are the Most Wonderful Girl in
the World"

people from the neighboring cottages
came in for the evening, and the great
moment, when at last it came, came
unexpectedly The girls had said
goodnight. leaving Hartley locking up
doors and windows and putting out
the lights. Just as he pulled the
chain of the living-room light he heard
Ellen. from halfway up the stairs,
say. wait a minute, 10, till l get my
book It's on the window seat in the
living ROOM"
The next instant came a sound Of
footsteps on the stairs. Then past
Hartley slipped a slim. white form.
Summoning his resolution, he reached
out and gathered it to him, tipped up
her chin, and found her lips.
Next on his schedule had been the
brave words, you're going to marry
me-" but so overwhelmed was he by
what followed that he never uttered
them. Two soft arms stole about his
neck, fragrant hair brushed his
cheeks, and little giggle issued from
his shoulder. Then she was gone.
Hartley, although a bit amazed at
the swift surrender, was triumphant.
All that was left now was to buy the
ring. name the day, and look up fares
to Bermuda.
Next morning, in a fit of desperate
impatience to convince himself that
the happening Of the night before was
not a glorious dream, Hartley arose
betimes. He hoped that Ellen was ex-
periencing the same palpitating eager
ness as himself to follow up that won
derful kiss. But the girls sauntered
down as usual, sleepy-eyed but keen
for breakfast, and fingered exasperat-
ingly over their eggs and toast in a
discussion of plans for the day.

LEGION TO AID IMMIGRANTS
Plan Mapped Out by American Com.
mission of Veterans Organization
to Extend Welcome.

Immigrants entering the United
States will be received and welcomed
by members of the American Legion,
according to plans mapped out by the
National American commission Of the
veterans organization. Arrangements
have been made whereby the local post
of the community which is the ul-
innate destination Of the immigrant
will get in touch with him Immediately
upon his arrival.
Information as to the names and
destinations of all immigrants will be
secured at the port Of New York and
forwarded Immediately to the thou
sands of Legion posts In order that
they may prepare for the reception Of
the new arrivals.
"In some cases the immigrantf may
be going directly to friends" says
the announcement of the American
commission, "but in many cases he
will be friendless and will be sure to
have great trouble. He may need as
sistance in finding out where he can
learn English. where he can send his
children to school, where he can find
place to live and a place to work.
Nothing could be more effective in lin
ing up the new arrival on the side Of
law and order and of the things we
believe in as being best for the cOun-
try than this friendly welcome. 1t
is this personal greeting from Amer
lea that will help make the newcomer
q 100 per cent American"
