saving to all the world What does this
year hold forth to you:''
Bob Andrews was sitting in the paror of
his cozy home-reading. He wasn't the
kind of man you would accuse of dream
ing dreams or seeing visions. Far from it.
Bob Andrews was the familiar type of
American business man. He bad started
with nothing--or less than nothing-but re
had courage and determination and the
wjlI-to-work and he made good.
His mother-years before-had fondly
named him Robert j. Andrews. but to all
his friends and business associates he
was just plain Bob They admired his
ability and his unquestioned success-they
admired. above all else. his honesty.
And because Bob Andrews was honest
with his fellow man he was honest with
himself. Every year as regularly as Janl:-
ary came around he used to "put himself
70 a corner" as he phrased it. 'and take in
ventory."
This year he was particularly concerned
about his health He wasn't sick. and So
far as he knew he was in fairly good shape
for man Of forty-four. But he wasn't
quite sure.
He knew that middle age is the danger
ous age and that he was far from being
as young as he used to be. Indeed. there
we're days when his old enthusiasm seemed
TO have snapped entirely: days of too many
headaches: days when he went home far
too tired; nights when sleep seemed impos-
sible.

The henlthiest children become de-
pressed in a gloomy atmosphere, said Mrs,
Paul du Pont in an address delivered
before the afternoon session yesterday OF

Sunshine Society, which held its annual
meeting Mt st. Andrews parish house
Mrs. du Pont said parents should see That
their children had as cheerful environment
as their means could possibly provide,
and urged that the teeth and eyes OF chill
dren be examined often. Sulkiness IN
children is q certain sign OF some mental
or nervous disorder brought on by condl-
tions that can be rcmedied If the proper
examination IA made.
Mrs. du Pont called attention to the
Detention House, and suggested that it
would be agood thing if some persons would
volunteer to tell stories or start sewing
classes there, where boysnnd girls often
spend weeks with great amount ol nn-
employed time.

WOOL IN A MANS SUIT.
Expert SAYS There's Only S7.37 Worth
at Present Top Price.

Claude Harper. Purdue University
sheep specialist, has issued n statement
to this effect:
"A man who weighs l75 pounds re-
quires three and one-half yards of cloth
to make suit. the weight of the clothing
being from 10 to Is ounces per yard. The
average medim-weight wool suit is made
of goods weighing II ounces per yard. At
three and one-half Yards per suit the cloth
in the entire suit weighs 40 ounces, or a
little more than three pounds. In tho
manufacture of all-wool cloth il requires
one and three-quarters pounds of secured
wool TO produce pound of cloth.
Therefore, considering waste in manu-
featuring, it requires about 62 ounces Of
secured wool for an average suit of
clothes. Most of the Indiana secured
wool is selling in Boston from 81. .25 to
81 "A per pound. This wool scours around
50 per cent of grease and dirt. At 81
secured pound, this makes wool worth
nine cents per ounce. As 62 ounces are
required for the entire suit, then the cost
of wool i'm the suit is s55S."
Mr.. Harper says that if suit is made
of the very best grade of wool, which is
selling at about S1.90 per secured pound,
then the wool in the suit will cost S7.31.-
