She is one Of family Of fouy,

were discovered and reported TO the
child placing department. Of the bu-
resu of public welfare by Mss Ma
mie J. Chandler, q Red Cross work
cr there. 4 worker from the child
placing department investigated the
home and found it in bad condition.
The father was not we'll and was un-
able to care for the children as they
should be cared for and the mother
was dead. They lived some distance
from anybody and needed clothes
and the proper food and care and
love.
The oldest child is girl of Is and
the others are boy and a girl Of
about II and nine years Of age. They
were growing up in absolute igno--
ance.
The father did not want to part
with his children but was finally per-
suaded that such action on his part
would be to the children's advantage
and he consented to give them up fcr
a while at least.
Miss Chandler took the oldest gi,l
to the de La Howe school and it was
on that trip that she got her fra5
ride on train and discovered the
wonders that are to most people
only every day necessities. Miss
Chandler said in telling of the expc-
riences at the child placing office,
that the girl was very observant and
bright and never made mistake but
once. She ate with her iced tea
spoon at first, but put it down as

MADE OVER FOR B00KL0VERS
Where Literature and Soft
Dk'uks Are Sold.

A new idea in the way Of substi-
tute for the saloon is to be tried out
in the Booklovers' tavern. recently
opened in New York, the Philadelphia
Inquirer states. This is simply place
with the familiar bar and brass rail,
where soft drinks and literature are to
be dispensed together. Thus the men,
tai exhilaration to be derived from
the latest novel will satisfy those ac-
customed 10 the cocktail and give gin
ger ale or ice cream soda flip it
has not hitherto had.
The Booklovers' tavern may draw
book purchasers, though it's superiority
to the ordinary bookshop is not ap-
parent. But can it be expected that
thirsts will be assuaged in this way?
And will those who seek inebriation
between covers be able to pay the
price? A Kipling highball or Wells
tizz at $1.75 is considerably more than
the purchasers of alcoholic beverages
have been charged under wartime
prohibition.
1t is obvious, too, that the kind of
literature dispensed over the bar will
have to be very carefully guarded.
Many of our poets were roistering
lot, who did not hesitate to celebrate
the charms of the Demon Rum.

MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET
Opening Of Mesopotamia to civiIiza-
ton Likely to Add Largely to the
Worlds Supply.

AS law and order come into the wild
and unsettled mountains of Mesopo-
tamia especially when new roads and
the eventual railway connect the
northern Kurdish country around Mo-
sui with the rest Of the world, many
a now useless tree and shrub will
doubtless be put to service as a con-
tributor of gum. The gums of MesO-
pOtamia have many commercial uses,
and the unSyStematic tapping and
trading that now brings the product
on pack animals to Suleimanaya,
where merchants buy it from the
Kurds and sell it again to other mer-
chants in Bagdad, is mere sugges-
ton Of the industry that may be de-
veloped by enterprising promoters who
may have observed the extent of this
natural resource in Mesopotamia and
looked further afield than Aleppo and
Bagdad for markets. Now that Brit
ish occupation has opened the land to
western ideas, it would not be sur
prising if the gum industry grew to be
source of considerable national
wealth, and an important factor in
creating new Mesopotamia.

Aviators' Qualifications.

In England airmen were apt to be
ardent hunters of the fox and to have
what horsemen call ''hands'-a quality
which as aviators enabled them to
know instinctively, as it were, what
an airplane was going to do before
it did it. And, what will be shocking
to some folk, to keep the aviator in
best condition for his work and for
enduring it's terrible stresses, he seem
ed, according to these authorities, to
need "a really riotous evening at
least once or twice MONTH The
older men were found to use alcohol
freely, but the younger ones required
no such stimulants, and they all avoid
ed excess, being well aware that for
them the penalty was sudden death.
Marriage deteriorated the aviator by
increasing his sense of personal re-
sponsibility for others. Courage he
had, of course, and touch of reck'
lessness is not undesirable from the
standpoint of achievement in war;

New Idea in Storinu Coal.

The ingenious plan of storing coal
in carbonic acid gas, as undertaken at
Dortmund, Germany, gives the safety
from spontaneous ignition Of under
water storage, while the container Of
fers the convenience of the overhead
bunker. Each of the three cylindrical
bunkers constructed. with a capacity
of $500 tons, has semi-spherical top
and bottom, and three filling openings
at the top, with three discharging out
lets at the bottom. The lower outlets
are gas tight when closed, but as the
carbonic acid is much heavier than
air the upper openings do not require
being absolutely leak proof. A grab
on a structural steel tower unloads the
coal from barge The coal is dropped
into small hopper, and then fed to Il
push-plate conveyor, which Is so placed
that it may serve in filling or empty
ing the three bunkers. The small
amount of carbonic acid gas that leaks
out in removing coal can be readily
replaced.

DAYS OF CH|VALRY ARE GONE
This Hust'ing Age Seems to Have Lit
tie Time for the Merest EIe-
mentary Courtesy.

1t was the hottest and most uncom-
portable day Of the summer and the
car was even more crowded than usual
says the Indianapolis News. Two
young women who had done their full
share of work for eight long hours,
managed to squeeze into the car with
the rest Of the passengers. OF course
all the seats were taken. Even a sug-
gestion that some one offer the girls
a seat was far from their minds. They
stood in the aisle, as good-na turedly
as they had done nearly every day in
months past. One can imagine their
surprise when an elderly man rose to
proffer one of the girls a seat.
"Take my seat, lady," he said, "you
look lots more tired than l."
Gratefully, one Of the girls started
for the seat. tall broad shouldered
man was just ahead of her.
"Naw, yuh don't" he snarled, 81
guess I'm nearer the seat than you
are" and he started to sit down.
"Well, guess if you are going to
take the seat I may as we'll keep it
until I an ready to get off," the first
man said, and with that he sat down
again.
Two blocks later he got off the car.
the. tall brOad-shouldered man rushed
to the seat, and the young women held
on to the straps.

THEY TOOK HER LITERALLY

A popular musical comedy star was
taking her summer vacation in New
England village this year, and good

the committee Of gentlemen who were

tested against the chic costume OF the

'There is no use talking" she an

UNCLE SANS GAME RESERVE
Island Of Afognak, on South Coast Of
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

One of the most picturesquely in
terestlng parts Of our national do
main is a large island off the south
coast of Alaska. It is called Afognak
and is about 65 miles long by 40 in
width, with a very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
It is the property Of the government,
and in 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as game and fish reserve.
The important purpose that it serves
Is that of preserve for salmon, all
the finest varieties Of which run up it's
stream in great numbers at the breed
ing season to spawn.
Afognak is a mountainous island,
Of volcanic origin, it's loftiest peak
rising to an elevation Of 1900 feet.
In the interior are number Of large
lakes, which are the breeding
grounds of the salmon. One Of
these, Letnik lake, is seven miles long,
and on it's shore is located big gov
eminent fish hatchery.
In the days of long ago, before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal
mon fishery of Afognak was operated
by the Russian-Amerlcan company,
which established on the island COL
ony of it's superannuated and pensioned
employees. These were Aleuts, whose
descendants today compose the native
population, somewhat more than 400,
though their blood is much mixed.
