Alison, looking very demure but
with her eyes sparkling with mis-

to meet Warren Bradley, who
lounged indolently beside his car,
smoking a cigarette. At sight of

his motoring cap.

with suddenly veiled eyes, holding
out a slim gloved hand.
He took II, looking down into the

TO REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS
Application of Artificial Respiration Must Be Kept Up Despite seem-
 ing Encouragement.

Dr. S. Jellinek, analysing the effects of severe electric. shocks received by contact with the electrified wire fences during the World war, wrote in Elek- trotechnik und MaschineDbau that an important factor was the state of pre- paredness of the victim.
 Experience, says the Scientific Amer ican, has shown that a shock which was likely to prove fatal if received unexpectedly, was harmless when anticipated. Experiments on animals have confirmed this impress sion and have been instrumental in showing that physiological effects of shocks administered with direct and indirect current are distinctly differ ent
 It is also remarked that a close re- semblance to death after shock should not be accepted too readily as proof. Persons apparently dead have not in- frequently recovered when artificial respiration was applied It is best to give the victim the benefit of the doubt.

PATRON SAINT OF MATTERS
Why St. Clement Has Long Been Ac- corded Recognition by Makers of
 Head Coverings.

St. Clement is known as the patron saint of matters, because of his dis cOvery for the making of a compact fabric out of wool without pressure or weaving. The story goes that this devout priest, while on a Journey, be- came footsore and tired, and, removing his sandals, sought rest by the road side.
 ~ St. Clement was soon disturbed by the bIeating of lambs. Looking up, he beheld fox that had just seized one of the helpless young sheep. He cleared hedge just in time to destroy the fox and rescue the lamb, in the process of which act he observed loose wool, which he gathered and exam ined.
 The priest was struck by the sud den inspiration that here was relief for his lacerated feet. Binding the yielding wool on his wounds, he was able to continue his journey. On reaching his destination St. Clem- ent removed the sandals from his feet, discovering instead of the fine soft wool a piece of unfinished cloth, seemingly so firm and thick that he couldn't pull it apart. He called tthe matted material felt"
 This accidental knowledge of the priest caused the basic principle that underlies the mems hat industry. November 23 has been named St. Clements day and is redletter day for the hat manufacturers of many countries.

KEEPING CATTLE AND SWINE
It Remains to Be Determined What Are Most Common and Best
 Paying Propositions

The keeping of cattle and of swine appear to be almost inseparable opera tons. This fact is being brought out in the returns of the Better Sires- Better Stock" crusade of the agricul, tural colleges, the United States de- partment of agriculture and co-operat- ing agencies. This general practice has long been known, but much more definite information is being gathered, and the purpose is to extend it to such an extent as to determine the relation ships among all meat animals.
 If nearly every man who keeps cat tie also keeps hogs, and if nearly every man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle, the inevitable conclusion is that the combination pays, especially when purebred sires are used. But 1t re mains to be determined what are the most common and the best-paying pro. portions. The same thing applies also to combinations of cattle and sheep, or swine and sheep, or cattle and sheep and swine. One benefit of the work will be that 1t will enable the man of small personal experience to avail himself of the wide experience of great number of men in working out the combinations of meat animals that he will carry on his farm.

WAS THE FIRST CINDERELLA
Egyptian Maiden Said to Have Been the Original of the Old and
 Popular Story.

About 700 years B. O., there Is said to have lived a maiden, who, though not called Cinderella" was undOubt- edly the person represented in the popular fairy tale, says the Montreal Herald. It was during the rulings of one of the twelve Egyptian kings that this beautiful eastern girl, RhodOpe by name, came under the notice of the then known world. Rhodope had re markably small feet. One day, while bathing in a river near her home, an eagle is said to have swOOped down and, playing the part of the fairy god mother, snapped up one of her sandals which was on the bank. Carrying the little shoe off in his beak the bird is reported to have dropped it imme- diately in front of the king, and, nat urally, the little sandal soon attracted royal attention. Struck by its size so small, and the daintiness, too, the king vowed he would find out the charming possessor. Messengers were dispatch ed and the country was secured for the foot that the shoe would it. At length Rhodope was discovered and the shoe placed on her. tiny foot. Af- ter a triumphal conveyance to the kings palace she was made queen to her royal lover, ''King Psammeticus of Memphis"

The process by which the novel headgear is pro duced has not been divulged, says Popular Mechanics, but it Is known that chemicals are employed to hard en the material, without adding to its weight. Several styles have been made, the lightest weighing about sev- en ounces, and others only slightly more. In a recent test, a One-pound bolt was dropped on one of them from a height of 40 feet, with the re- suit that a barely preceptible dent was made in the paper.

JUST DISAPPEAR, THAT'S ALL English Newspaper Points Out How Easy 1t Is to Become "TaIk
 of the Town"

Any inhabitant of any English vil- lage can make himself the "talk of the town" if he will only go away from 1t suddenly without leaving any address. Thefe is no person of any consequence too dull, too harmless, or too respect able to become the hero of any imag- mary crime or good deed if only he will disappear. In a moment he is a center of romance.
 If he came back incognito at the end of the proverbial mine days" which means of course a much longer time than a week and half, he would not recognize the highly colored DOT trait which would be shown him of himself. What did he ever do, he might wonder, to be thought so bad or so good, so strange or so silly? There. is no reputation which could stand up unaccountable departure.
 Such O vague heading as 'Disap- pearance of a Lady" obviously at tracts many readers or we should not see 1t so often in the public press. Of course, if 1t can be made little more definite, and the disappeared persons birthplace, daily work, or social con dition can be particularized, the TO- mantle instinct of the multitude is even more certain to be awakened. The notion that someone has not been buried, though every evidence Is there to prove that he or she has died, is a recurrent source of squalid TO- mance.-London Times.

BIG REDUCTION IN cHOLERA
Decrease in Swine Loss of 72 Per Cent Noted In Six counties In
 North Carolina.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 An example of the benefit which may come to a community from the well-directed efforts of state and fed eral agencies, coupled with the coop eration of farmers, for the control of hog cholera Is shown in a recent re port of a veterinary inspector of the bureau of animal industry.
 Hog cholera control work was in- augurated in six counties in the north eastern section of North Carolina Au- gust 1, 1916. An intensive campaign was carried on for a period of IA months. It included investigation of reported outbreaks, demonstrations in the use of serum and virus, and the disinfection of premises. As the services of practicing veterinarians were not available. a number of lay men were trained in the administra- tiOn of the serum treatment for chol- era. After that period of intensive activities the work was withdrawn to another section of the state, only gen. eral supervision being given to the original area.
 During October a survey was made of the counties comprising the district in question, and a questionnaire was submitted to as many of the farmers as could be reached. Answers re- ceived and tabulated indicate that there has been a reduction in losses from cholera of over 72 per cent, and an increase of over 160 per cent in swine production, due to the protec- tioa offered by the immunization of the animals. There has also been a

BRONCHITIS IN LITTLE PIGS
Not Much Can Be Done in Way of Treatment-Damp, Gold Pens Are
 Cause of Trouble.

Bronchitis most commonly occurs in young pigs. Matured hogs are seldom troubled with 1t. If it attacks very young pigs 1t often proves fatal, but pigs two or three months old will gen. orally survive, though their growth may be seriously interfered with The disease is accompanied by a distress ing cough, which usually disappears with the advent of warm weather and outdoor exercise. Little can be done in the way of treatment Dry pens free from drafts, nourishing feed and as much exercise as possible are the principal points to be observed. Damp, cold pens are the most common cause Of this trouble.
